    "There are currently no plans, tiers, or volume discounts. `plans` and `top_up.volume_tiers` are empty by design, not because the data is missing.",
    "`cash_price` is derived: credit_price / top_up.quota_rate. Recompute it from those two fields rather than quoting it from a stale copy.",
    "`vs_official` uses standard synchronous API pricing, with off-peak, cheapest region, shortest input tier, and current promotions where applicable. Input means cache-miss pricing; Batch, Flex, and cache writes are separate. Official references cover 29 of 31 paid models. Each block includes its source, verification date, and caveats. Free models are excluded from comparison coverage and price multiples.",
    "`historical-price` identifies an official rate published for that model version before the vendor changed its rolling model. It is a historical comparison, not a quote for the current replacement model; follow the version-specific source.",
    "`vs_official.vendor_cheaper_on_cached_input: true` means the vendor is cheaper than us on cache hits for that model. It is listed for the same reason as the multiples: the comparison is only useful if it runs both ways.",
    "Catalog and prices are a build-time snapshot synced 2026-10-11; the console is the source of truth.",
