CursorBench v3.1 — corroborating (vendor) as of 2026-05-18
vendor benchmark - Cursor's own private, non-reproducible tasks, showcases Composer; cost is cache-aware (each model's published per-token pricing incl. cache reads, applied to tokens used, then averaged) - sound; the caveat is provenance, not cost

looked for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor local logs under the usual home/config dirs.
under WSL, Costroid also checks Windows paths like /mnt/c/Users/<you>/...
set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or CODEX_HOME if your logs live elsewhere.
