+from cash charges. The [sanitized first live proof](../../packages/paperclip-runner/test/fixtures/copilot-canonical-live-proof-2026-09-28.json)
+records one `get-task-context` turn completed in 33.383 seconds: one authenticated
+semantic call and successful result, completed terminal, complete transcript and
+mock-only boundary all pass the unchanged canonical scorer. The first attempt
+failed before prompting because a stale Rust binary omitted credential binding;
+the fresh source-built release binary fixed admission. The live attempt's
+post-turn package-provenance lookup failed, so the same retained artifact was
+scored offline after regenerating the exact source tarball. Both original
+failure records remain inspectable; recovery sent no additional model prompt.
+The sibling launcher now validates that tarball before paid work.
+
+The receipt reports 24,258 input tokens, 11,781 cached input tokens and 441 output
+tokens. Its $0.00326022 catalog estimate is not a GitHub charge. The runner's
+`providerRequests: 1` is a terminal receipt count, not an observed count of
+upstream HTTP requests. GitHub still displayed 0/1,500 credits after this small
+turn; lag or rounding prevents exact credit attribution. Additional paid usage remains disabled with a $0 budget; that billing boundary
+does not imply zero consumption of included credits.
+
+The pinned CLI documents `--max-ai-credits` as a soft cap, minimum 30 credits.
+Its ACP startup/session implementation does not propagate that option into
+`sessionLimits`, unlike the native interactive/server paths; ACP exposes no
+budget configuration option. Treat provider-enforced per-session credit limits
+as unavailable through this pinned integration (P1 follow-up: upstream ACP limit
+support). The 60-second deadline, $0.50 declared envelope and $2 reservation do
+not become a per-response hard cap. All profiles remain pending until the full
+local and Daytona qualification succeeds.
