//! Token-cost estimation (v0.4.0 P0-3).
//!
//! Used by the bench gate to assert code-mode delivers ≥95% token
//! reduction vs JSON-tool mode. The estimator is a deterministic
//! linear approximation of the OpenAI / Anthropic tokenizers — close
//! enough to make the assertion meaningful without pulling in a
//! proper BPE library. Hat-tip OpenAI's "1 token ≈ 4 chars of
//! English" rule.
