 ### 4 · Cost — per incident, with a runaway breaker
 
-One incident fans out across four LLM calls plus a Tavily search, so the cost unit is the **whole incident**, not a single call. Per-node token cost and Tavily call cost are summed, logged to the Langfuse trace as `total_cost_usd`, and returned in the API response. Two controls sit on top: the per-account run limit (5) bounds each account's lifetime spend, and a **circuit breaker** aborts any single incident that exceeds `MAX_INCIDENT_USD` before the next LLM call — so a reject→loop-back cycle can't quietly burn money. Average cost per incident is **~$0.02**; the Langfuse cost view is screenshotted in [`docs/cost-per-incident.png`](docs/).
