Description
some bugs may require more investigation/testing than others, leading to higher token consumption.
We need a way to configure startriage to limit the effort to a number of tokens. Ideally, it would stop the iteration and ask if the user wants to continue spending - so there is more control on the costs.

Research direction
Start at the --ai command entry point and trace how triage iterations consume tokens. Identify where configuration and iteration stopping are handled; done means a configurable token limit pauses the process and asks whether to continue, with tests covering the limit and prompt.
