Description

### Title

wartzar-bee CI Cost Guardrail

### Description

A GitHub Action that estimates a PR's token-cost delta for AI-agent/prompt code (HEAD vs base), comments on the responsible files, and can block the build when cost regresses past a configurable threshold (default 20%). Deterministic — powered by the `@wartzar-bee/tokenscope` CLI; no LLM call, no data leaves CI. Catches prompt/context bloat before it ships.

### URL

https://github.com/wartzar-bee/ci-guardrail

### Category

Continuous Code Optimization

### Guidelines

- [X] Related to AI-powered automation for software collaboration — it guards the cost of AI-agent code in the PR loop.
- [X] Publicly accessible — repo and Marketplace listing both live, MIT.
- [X] Not already listed.

### Note on scope

Being upfront: this Action does not itself invoke an LLM — it counts tokens deterministically for AI-generated/prompt code. I read that as in-scope for Continuous Code Optimization alongside the existing entries (and the list already carries non-AI helpers under Utilities), but it's your call, and a "no" is a perfectly fine answer.
