 "title": "A run killed at its wall clock usually records zero cost and zero turns, but not always - so detect it by wall time against its timeout, never by the zeros",
 "symptom": "Six runs show turns 0 and cost_usd 0.00 in result.json. They read as runs that never started. Their transcripts are 0.2 to 1.5 MB and contain up to 279,571 output tokens of real work. The bench's recorded lifetime spend is 314.64 dollars; reconstructing those six from their own transcripts at list rates adds about 156 dollars, so the true figure is nearer 471 and the accounting is short by a third.",
