aethershell 1.6.0

The world's first multi-agent shell with typed functional pipelines and multi-modal AI
//! Phase-1 token benchmark harness (see `docs/AGENTIC_FIRST_DESIGN.md` §4).
//!
//! Resolves the cipher-vs-legible agent-syntax question with *measurement*, not
//! assertion. For a corpus of representative agent tasks rendered two ways —
//! the terse `.aeg` cipher and the legible canonical form — it reports the cost
//! terms that actually dominate an agent's per-task spend:
//!
//!   total = standing_context (teach the surface) + input (the command)
//!         + output (held constant) + retry (failed cycles)
//!
//! What is measured here is *exact and real*:
//!   - **chars**: exact byte/char counts (directly tests the design's char-based
//!     "60–70%" claim, which is a character ratio, not a token ratio);
//!   - **standing_context**: the size of the cheatsheet each form requires — for
//!     the cipher, the actual `describe_ontology()` output an agent must carry to
//!     emit valid `.aeg`; for legible, ~0 (names the model already predicts);
//!   - **reliability/retry proxy**: each cipher line is run through the real
//!     `transpile_agentic_to_ae` + parsed; each legible line through the real
//!     parser. A form that fails to round-trip costs a retry cycle.
//!
//! Token counts come from the shared `builtins::est_token_count`: the **real
//! GPT-4 cl100k BPE** (embedded `tiktoken-rs`) under `--features real-tokens`,
//! or a labeled heuristic otherwise.
//!
//! Run: `cargo run --example token_bench`  (heuristic)
//!  or: `cargo run --example token_bench --features real-tokens`  (real BPE)
