1//! Does making the **Forge toolchain agentic-first** improve its measured
2//! agentic-SWE scores? This compares two real variants of the same toolchain on
3//! agentic-eval's axes:
4//!
5//!   • baseline  — human-text output only (`forge <cmd>`, `forge --help`)
6//!   • agentic   — self-describing + machine-readable (`forge manifest`,
7//!                 `forge <cmd> --json`, effect-classed commands)
8//!
9//! Every input below is MEASURED, not assumed (reproduce in MechGen/forge):
10//!   - tokens   : real cl100k BPE of the discovery surface and a per-command
11//!                result (agentic-eval `tokens_of`).
12//!   - determ.  : `forge manifest --json` run 5× → byte-identical (sha256).
13//!   - reliab.  : each command's output piped to `node -e JSON.parse` — does it
14//!                parse as structured data, or must an agent regex-scrape prose?
15//!   - safety   : commands carrying a machine-readable effect class (the manifest
16//!                exposes `pure`/`read_local`/`write_local` per command).
17//!
