Define one object model for the changes Cortex plugins make to a request, and one context-guru library that prices them in tokens for each tier. Cortex converts the tokens to dollars with its own rates. The model supports savings across requests and the payback of a cache break.

Define the pricing path for truncated operations.
RequestOps.Truncated is declared when the operation limit is exceeded, but Price accepts only Input.Ops []Operation. The specification does not define Aggregate, its conversion into priced operations, or how its totals reach Result and Saving.Changes. Define this path and add an over-limit test that checks saved, caused, and per-change totals.

Map clientFirstDiff into forwarded coordinates.
clientFirstDiff is computed on the client body, but fwdFirstDiff and B* use forwarded-body positions. R32 permits producers to insert or remove messages, so the direct comparison can misclassify a client edit as a producer cache break and select the wrong boundary and tier.
Define the client-to-forwarded mapping from the ordered Splice records. Apply it before calculating B* and before the §5.4 break classification. Add a collector test with a splice before the client diff.

Specify the TotalAvoidedUSD behavior change.
TotalAvoidedUSD currently sums USD for applied savings and excludes projected savings. It does not subtract PenaltyUSD. State that step 6 updates this helper while preserving the projected-savings exclusion, or define a separate net-savings total. Otherwise, the migration compares totals with different meanings.

Exclude projected savings from per-change totals.
Section 8 says projected savings never enter totals, but this fold adds each matching Changes entry without filtering its enclosing Saving.Projected value. Skip projected records so observe-mode estimates do not appear as realized payback.

Use the documented Saved/Caused result shape in the worked example.
The example presents both snippets as library output, but uses signed tier deltas. The design defines separate non-negative Saved and Caused values. Update the example to match that contract.
Suggested fix
-op4 {cacheRead: -300}
+op4 {Caused.CacheRead: 300}-The library output for op13: `{cacheWrite: −7950, cacheRead: +7950}`.
+The library output for op13: `{Saved.CacheRead: 7950, Caused.CacheWrite5m: 7950}`.This is a documentation inconsistency with limited practical impact, so it is a minor issue rather than a major one.

Price tokens after the last cache breakpoint as input, and tokens between B* and that breakpoint as cache write at its TTL. Define the counterfactual as "this change was never made". Allow one operation for each change unit, with spans for changes that are not contiguous, and use it for tool-prune. State that saved tokens come from the operation's own size. Shrink PosHash to 12 bytes so the memory estimate holds. Define the missing types and enums, explain the withdrawn R10, describe migration step 2 as new work, and sum the payback table from exact values.

An operation with spans on both sides of the cache boundary needs a size for each span, or the library cannot price each part at its own tier. Add Before and After to Span, check that they add up to the operation's sizes, and show the sizes in the example.

It also defines one context-guru library (github.com/rossoctl/context-guru/ops) that prices those changes in tokens for each billing tier. Cortex converts the tokens to dollars with its ownpricing.Resolver.docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-18-context-operations-example.md: one session, from the request body, to the operations, to dollars.
