Session cost calculator

Estimate the requests made during an agent session. A user turn can make several model calls while using tools, so costs are calculated per model request.

Session shape
Rounded median shapes from recent Pi agent sessions.
Warm-request cache reuse
Effective token reuse combines partial hits and occasional complete misses.

The first request starts cold unless marked otherwise. Output is billed separately from context growth because reasoning tokens are not always retained. This remains a directional estimate: providers differ in eligibility, rounding, and retention.

Compatibility flags
