Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported usage with Codex CLI v0.153.4, model gpt-6-astra, and the PRO 5x subscription on macOS, then compare the observed consumption with the 30-second report. No repository file, test, or entry point is named, so the relevant accounting path and a suitable regression test still need to be located.
