2026-10-18 — The model budget stays a fixed count per abcd run (facilitator-on-delegation, itd-2610170634394993 planning prep): the sub-agent budget remains itd-2610100704270254's count per run from the repository's config, neither shared across sessions nor sized from rate-limit headers, since the product thinker ruled 'each abcd run' on 2026-10-10 and agent work is delegated to the host, so abcd never sees the provider's headers; the draft's press release and model-budget scope condition are to be narrowed to match, which is put to the product thinker to confirm because it edits their confirmed text (grounds: itd-2610100704270254; AGENTS.md host-delegated by default)

- dcn-26102220251169372026-10-22 — The model budget is shared across sessions, not a fixed count for each abcd run (product thinker's ruling of 2026-10-22, itd-2610170634394993 C-confirm; a typed reversal: reverses dcn-2610180720379757 and the product thinker's 2026-10-10 answer 'each abcd run' in itd-2610100704270254): the sub-agent budget the repository sets is one pool that every abcd session draws on, so the draft's press release keeps 'a share of the model budget' and is not narrowed; the product thinker accepted that one busy session can slow the others. dcn-2610180720379757's narrowing of the press release and the model-budget scope condition is withdrawn
