Pricing table missing current-generation models — unpriced turns bury real hotspots #503

Description

Problem

The pricing table is missing several current-generation models, so a large share of turns cost $0.00 and rank invisibly in findings/hotspots — while trivially cheap but priced turns dominate the rankings.

Evidence (2026-07-30 fleet spend forensics, two independent pipelines agreeing within 1.4%)

  • Unpriced models observed: claude-opus-5, claude-sonnet-5, gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.6-terra.
  • 2,652 of 4,626 turns (57%) fell under these unpriced models.
  • One session burned 443M tokens in an hour and scored $0.00 severity — invisible in cost-ranked findings/hotspots.
  • Meanwhile $1.26 of git status calls topped the same findings list, because it was the highest-dollar entry in a table where most of the real spend wasn't priced at all.

Fix

  1. Add pricing entries for claude-opus-5, claude-sonnet-5, gpt-5.6-sol, gpt-5.6-luna, gpt-5.6-terra (see also Make scheduled workflow to update models.dev price list periodically #391, the scheduled models.dev price-list sync — this issue is the immediate gap it would have caught).
  2. When a model has no price entry, findings/hotspots should rank by tokens rather than silently scoring $0.00 and sorting to the bottom. A missing price must never look cheaper than a priced trivial call.
