Thinking Path

autobot_shared/ssot_constants.py is grandfathered at 958 lines and sits at
exactly 958. #15860 needs two price entries — the Anthropic provider default
and Opus 4.6, both unpriced, so every cost event for them accrued zero — and
#14236 freezes the size a grandfathered file was granted rather than licensing
more. There is no slack, and the minimum honest addition is two lines.

Four ways out, and the other three are worse:

  • Cut lines elsewhere to make room. Arbitrary surgery on a shared constants
    file, and the lines most available to cut are always the explanatory ones —
    trading recorded reasoning for a line count.
  • Key the table on literal model strings. Breaks the dependency, and spells
    every model string twice: a size fix that creates a silent correctness
    problem.
  • Extract and re-export. The obvious shape, and circular: the table is
    keyed on the name constants defined in ssot_constants, so the two modules
    import each other. I built it; it fails on both import orders.

So: extract, and repoint the importers. This is deliberately its own PR ahead
of #15860's fix, so that one stays the two-line change it should be.

Single-issue rationale: this is a prerequisite refactor for #15860 with no
behaviour of its own, and folding it into that PR would mix a 7-file move with
a 2-line pricing fix.

What Changed

autobot_shared/model_pricing.py (new) holds MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS and
imports the model-name constants from ssot_constants. Imports flow one way and
nothing imports back.

ssot_constants.py:  958 -> 915 lines
ceiling:            958 -> 915   (both mirrors, same commit, #14498)

Five importers, not fourteen. A text search finds fourteen files; nine
mention it only in a docstring or comment. Separated by AST, because "fourteen
importers" would have made this look like a far larger change than it is:

file action
constants/model_constants.py re-export removed entirely
llc/services/budget.py repointed
llm_shared/tiered_routing/cost_router.py repointed
services/pricing_refresh.py repointed
services/llm_cost_tracker.py repointed

An earlier revision kept a re-export in constants/model_constants.py and
claimed two of the five needed no change. The auto-format bot deleted that
import
— a re-export is indistinguishable from an unused import to autoflake —
and twelve checks failed on cannot import name MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS.

The fix is not to protect the re-export but to have none: all five importers now
name autobot_shared.model_pricing directly, which is what "extract without
re-export" meant in the first place. Nothing imports the symbol from
ssot_constants or model_constants any more, verified by grep.

Verification

  • Every importer resolves to one object. constants.model_constants and
    autobot_shared.model_pricing return the same dict (A is B → True), so the
    re-export is not a second copy.
  • Each of the four modules imports cleanly.
  • check_python_file_size.py --audit-ceilings — CI's own invocation — passes:
    5232 files scanned, 497 grandfathered, all live and at size.
  • Mirror invariant, not just the ratchet: 497 entries in both mirrors, zero
    differing, zero where the recorded ceiling disagrees with the file's real
    length.
  • 134 ratchet and file-size tests pass.

The new module is not added to the known-large list. A file starting life
with an exemption is how that list reached 497 entries.

Limitations

  • No behaviour is tested here because none changed. The dict is the same
    object with the same contents; this PR is a move plus three import lines. What
    it is verified against is import resolution and the ceiling invariants, not
    pricing behaviour — that is fix(llc): the default model is missing from the pricing table, so dollar budgets never accrue #15860's.
  • The nine mention-only files still name MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS in
    docstrings that now describe a table living elsewhere. Left alone: rewriting
    nine docstrings to say the same thing about a new path is churn, and the
    symbol name is unchanged.

Discovered, filed not fixed

#15908 — nothing in this repo catches a duplicate key in a config dict. I
introduced one in this very table while working #15860 (the same two models
priced twice) and black, isort, flake8, the size ratchet and the full suite all
passed. Python takes last-wins silently, so a duplicate with different values
is a live money bug with no failure mode. I caught it by grepping.

Model Used

Claude Opus 5

Refs #15860, #15908

(Extraction only — the pricing fix it unblocks is #15906.)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a centralised pricing catalogue covering supported Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek and local models.
    • Local models are explicitly treated as having no token cost, while models without pricing remain unpriced.
  • Improvements

    • Cost tracking, budget calculations and model routing now use the shared pricing catalogue.
    • Pricing discrepancy guidance now points operators to the appropriate shared pricing source.
  • Breaking Changes

    • Removed the deprecated pricing export from the legacy constants module.

`autobot_shared/ssot_constants.py` is grandfathered at 958 lines and sat at
exactly 958. #15860 needs two price entries — the Anthropic provider default
and Opus 4.6, both unpriced, so every cost event for them accrued zero — and
#14236 is explicit that a grandfathered exemption freezes the size granted
rather than licensing more.

    ssot_constants.py:  958 -> 915
    ceiling:            958 -> 915   (both mirrors, same commit, #14498)

The pricing table is the right thing to move: it is what keeps growing (22
model constants remain unpriced) and it is cohesive.

**Not re-exported from `ssot_constants`, deliberately.** The table is keyed on
the model-name constants defined there, so a re-export makes the two modules
import each other. I built that version first and it fails on *both* import
orders, which is why the five importers were repointed instead.

Only five files actually import it. A text search reports fourteen; nine of
those mention it in a docstring or comment. Separated by AST rather than by
grep, because "fourteen importers" would have made this look like a much larger
change than it is:

    constants/model_constants.py      repointed (and re-exports, so
                                      services/pricing_refresh.py and
                                      services/llm_cost_tracker.py are unaffected)
    llc/services/budget.py            repointed
    llm_shared/tiered_routing/cost_router.py   repointed

Verified the chain resolves to one object rather than two: `constants.model_constants`
and `autobot_shared.model_pricing` return the same dict, and every importer
imports cleanly.

The new module is deliberately **not** added to the known-large list. A file
that starts life with an exemption is how that list got to 497 entries.

Mirror invariant checked as well as the ratchet: 497 entries in both, zero
differing, zero where the recorded ceiling disagrees with the file's real
length.

Discovered and filed while doing this: #15908 — nothing in the repo catches a
duplicate key in a config dict. I introduced one in this very table (the same
two models priced twice), and black, isort, flake8, the size ratchet and the
full suite all passed. Python takes last-wins silently, so a duplicate with
*different* values is a live money bug with no failure mode.
Applied Black, isort, and autoflake to match code-quality checks.
Triggered by workflow auto-fix-formatting.yml.
…ve autoflake (#15860)

Twelve checks failed with `cannot import name MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS from
constants.model_constants`, and the cause is not what it looks like.

My import was correct. **The auto-format bot deleted it** — commit `378db87bff`,
"Auto-fix: code formatting", one line removed:

    -from autobot_shared.model_pricing import MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS

A re-export is indistinguishable from an unused import: the name is imported and
never referenced in that module, which is exactly what autoflake removes. So the
branch that passed locally could not pass in CI, and the file I verified was not
the file that ran.

**The fix is to have no re-export**, rather than to protect one with a noqa.
"Extract without re-export and repoint the importers" was the ruling; keeping a
re-export in `model_constants` was a shortcut that let me claim two of the five
needed no change. Both of those two — `services/pricing_refresh.py` and
`services/llm_cost_tracker.py` — are real importers and are now repointed.

    constants/model_constants.py    re-export removed entirely
    llc/services/budget.py          repointed
    llm_shared/tiered_routing/cost_router.py   repointed
    services/pricing_refresh.py     repointed
    services/llm_cost_tracker.py    repointed

Nothing imports the symbol from `ssot_constants` or `model_constants` any more.
Verified by importing all five modules rather than by reading them, which is
what caught `llm_cost_tracker` still relying on the re-export after it was gone.

Also corrects an operator-facing message in `pricing_refresh.py` that told the
reader to update the table "in ssot_constants.py" — true when written, false
after the move, and the kind of stale referent that sends someone to the wrong
file at the moment they are trying to fix pricing.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pricing table moved from ssot_constants into autobot_shared.model_pricing. Backend services now import it from the new module, and compatibility exports and drift-warning references were updated.

Changes

Pricing source migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dedicated pricing source
autobot_shared/model_pricing.py, autobot_shared/ssot_constants.py, autobot-backend/constants/model_constants.py
The shared pricing module now defines hosted-model prices and zero-priced local models. The previous table and compatibility export were removed.
Backend pricing consumers
autobot-backend/llc/services/budget.py, autobot-backend/llm_shared/tiered_routing/cost_router.py, autobot-backend/services/llm_cost_tracker.py, autobot-backend/services/pricing_refresh.py
Backend services now import pricing from autobot_shared.model_pricing. The drift warning names the new module and references issue #15860.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3c718

Centralized pricing continues to distinguish unpriced models from explicitly free local models, but a missing entry may still be recorded as zero cost. This can understate spend and weaken budget enforcement, so it should be resolved before merge.

Explanation

The pull request does not implement the acceptance criteria for issue #15908. It does not add an AST-based duplicate-key check, literal-key and constant-key detection, contrast fixtures, reach-floor reporting, or mutation coverage.

Resolution

Add the named AST duplicate-key check and provide all acceptance criteria for issue #15908, including both key forms, passing and failing fixtures, reach-floor reporting on success and failure, and a mutation test with an asserted replacement count.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes extract and rewire the model pricing table, but the directly linked issue #15908 requests a repository-wide AST guard for duplicate dictionary keys. The extraction work is not part of that issue's stated acceptance criteria.

Add the #15908 duplicate-key AST check and tests.

MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS has 43 imported keys that currently resolve to 43 distinct values, but no check covers this table. Add reach reporting, a duplicate fixture, a contrast fixture, and a mutation test that fails when the duplicate is reintroduced. Python otherwise keeps the last value for colliding keys.

Review — the move is clean; the module name claims more than the module holds

Independent pass, re-deriving each of the three risk points rather than checking
the PR's account of them.

1. Importer set — re-derived by AST, and both counts are right

I parsed every file mentioning the symbol in the PR tree and classified by AST
node rather than by text:

real importers (PR tree):  4
  llc/services/budget.py                     from autobot_shared.model_pricing import ...
  llm_shared/tiered_routing/cost_router.py   from autobot_shared.model_pricing import ...
  services/llm_cost_tracker.py               from autobot_shared.model_pricing import ...
  services/pricing_refresh.py                from autobot_shared.model_pricing import ...

mention-only: 9   (docstrings in enums.py, pricing/*_source.py, sources.py, two tests)

4, not 5 — and the 5 was also correct, about the other tree. Base has five
importing files; the fifth is constants/model_constants.py:73, which
re-exported the symbol and now does not import it at all, and
services/pricing_refresh.py moved from importing through that re-export to
importing the module directly. So the set went 5 → 4 by deletion, not by a
missed repoint. Given this count has been wrong three times, worth stating which
tree each number describes rather than which number is right.

One thing the set does not show: services/llm_cost_tracker.py:75 does
MODEL_PRICING: Dict[str, Dict[str, float]] = MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS. Same
object, so no drift risk — but a fourth name for it, and a grep for the
canonical name will not find that module's uses.

2. Re-export — none, and the reason given is the right one

ssot_constants.py:278-282 is a pointer comment, not an import:

Not re-exported from here: the table is keyed on the model-name constants
above, so importing it back would make the two modules circular.

That is a better justification than "re-exports get deleted by autoflake"
(#15911), because it holds even if the formatter never touches it. Verified no
import of the symbol survives anywhere in autobot_shared/ or
autobot-backend/constants/.

3. One object — yes. But it is one of three, and the module name hides that

Exactly one definition of MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS in the tree. No second
copy, no shadowing. The extraction itself is sound.

However, ssot_constants.py still holds two more pricing tables, and one of
them is in the same unit with the same schema:

Where Unit Schema
MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS model_pricing.py:72 (moved) per 1M input/output
MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS ssot_constants.py:297 (stays) per 1M input/output
MODEL_PRICING_PER_1K_TOKENS ssot_constants.py:284 (stays) per 1K prompt/completion

The two per-1M tables overlap on at least six models and agree on every one of
them today:

GPT4O        2.50/10.00   ==   2.50/10.00
GPT4O_MINI   0.15/0.60    ==   0.15/0.60
GPT4_TURBO  10.00/30.00   ==  10.00/30.00
GPT35_TURBO  0.50/1.50    ==   0.50/1.50
GEMINI15_PRO 1.25/5.00    ==   1.25/5.00
GEMINI15_FLASH 0.075/0.30 ==   0.075/0.30

They agree because someone has kept them agreeing by hand. PER_1K carries the
same prices divided by a thousand, for a third overlapping set. And
MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS keys Sonnet 4 as ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4_SHORT
while the moved table uses ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4 — the same model under two
constants, in two tables, in what will now be two files.

This is not a defect the PR introduces, and I would not block on it. But it
changes what the PR should claim. Before, the two per-1M tables sat twelve lines
apart in one file, so anyone editing a price saw both. After, one is in a module
named model_pricing.py and the other is not — and a module with that name
reads as the home for model pricing. The next person to update a price will
open model_pricing.py, change it, and have no reason to suspect a second
per-1M table with the same schema exists somewhere else.

The extraction is correct and it manufactures a false SSOT signal.

Two lines of docstring fix the signal, and I would ask for them here: name
the other two tables and say this module is not yet the only home for model
pricing, pointing at the consolidation issue. Then file that issue — the three
tables are one concept and the drift is currently prevented by nothing but
attention.

Verdict

Land it, with the docstring note. The extraction does exactly what it says, the
no-re-export decision is right and justified for a durable reason, and the
ratchet mirrors were both lowered in the same commit. My only ask is that the
module not imply it holds something it does not.

…hold (#15912)

Review finding on #15910, and it is about what this PR's *name* claims after it
lands rather than a defect in it.

`ssot_constants` holds three model-price tables. This extraction moves one:

    MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS   43 entries   moved here
    MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS     13 entries   stays
    MODEL_PRICING_PER_1K_TOKENS   10 entries   stays

`MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS` is the **same unit and the same schema**, and it
overlaps this table on **9 models**. Before the extraction all three sat in one
file, so anyone editing a price saw them together. They no longer do, and a
module called `model_pricing` reads as *the* home for model pricing — so the
move is correct and manufactures a false SSOT signal. The docstring now names
the other two and the overlap.

Verified rather than relayed: the overlap is 9, not the 6 first reported, and
all nine **agree today** — compared by value, not by eye, which is the only way
to say it. Nothing enforces that agreement; consolidation is #15912.

Also corrects my own count in passing. I made the 1K table 8 entries with a
regex requiring the value to open on the same line; it is 10. An instrument
reporting fewer than exist, again, in a message about instruments reporting
fewer than exist.

The docstring now gives **circularity** as the reason for having no re-export,
with autoflake (#15911) as a secondary note. The cycle is structural — the
table is keyed on names defined in `ssot_constants` — and holds whether or not
a formatter ever touches the file. The autoflake behaviour is contingent on a
bot's configuration, so it is the weaker reason to record in code.

…mitigates it (#15912)

Two review findings, one of which is that my own mitigation comment was false.

THE ADJACENCY CLAIM WAS WRONG TWICE. The comment said an alias pair "could
diverge from their dated twins without failing anything. Keeping them adjacent
is the whole mitigation."

  :112  ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4        3.00 / 15.00
  :172  ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4_SHORT  3.00 / 15.00

Sixty lines and ~50 local-model entries apart. The aliases are adjacent to each
OTHER; each is far from the twin the sentence names.

And the mechanism it asserted is proximity -- which is the exact thing #15912
was filed about: "the drift is currently prevented by attention, and #15910
removes the thing attention was relying on -- proximity." A fix that reinstates
attention as its own safeguard has not fixed it.

Replaced with a check. `alias_pairs()` derives `{alias -> canonical}` from the
`_DATED` / `_SHORT` suffix convention on the constant NAMES, so a fifth alias
added tomorrow is covered without anyone remembering -- a hand-written map would
be an enumeration, which is the other half of the same complaint. Four pairs
derived, floored, with a fixture proving the comparison would catch a
divergence: the tree agrees today, so a check comparing nothing passes
everything else.

    diverge an alias from its dated twin    1 failed  (was: undetectable)

REACH: `ast.walk` rather than `tree.body` in `discover_pricing_tables`. A table
assigned as a class attribute is still a table, and this codebase does put
pricing names at class level (`calculators.py:41`, `:154`). Zero such tables
today; the docstring promised "any name in any file" and module-level-only
delivered less. Same shape as #15902's floor counting files opened rather than
files parsed -- a docstring claiming more reach than the code has.

10 passed. Ceilings unchanged.

…ive disagreements (#15912) (#15918)

* fix(pricing): one literal price table, and a guard that found three live disagreements (#15912)

The issue described three tables. There were eight, and they did not agree.

WHAT WAS ACTUALLY WRONG. The guard was written before the fixes and found:

  deepseek-r1     0.55/2.19  deepseek_source._BASELINE
                  0.0 /0.0   model_pricing.MODEL_PRICING_PER_1M_TOKENS
  gpt-4o          5.0 /15.0  ssot.MODEL_PRICING_PER_1K_TOKENS (x1000)
                  2.5 /10.0  three other tables
  gpt-3.5-turbo   1.5 /2.0   ssot.MODEL_PRICING_PER_1K_TOKENS (x1000)
                  0.5 /1.5   three other tables

`deepseek-r1` is `LOCAL_DEEPSEEK_R1`, a locally-hosted model priced 0.0/0.0; the
paid one is `DEEPSEEK_R1_API` = `deepseek-r1-api`. The baseline charged API rates
against the local model's id, so one string meant "free" or "$0.55/1M" depending
on which table a consumer reached for. The other two are stale prices in the
per-1K table -- plausible numbers, and the only table its consumers read.

My own issue said per-1K "holds the same prices divided by a thousand". That is
true of Claude 3 Opus, which I checked, and false of the two above, which I did
not.

WHAT CHANGED. `MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS` and `MODEL_PRICING_PER_1K_TOKENS` are
now comprehensions over the canonical table, defined beside it. The key rename
(`input`/`output` -> `prompt`/`completion`) lives in the comprehension, visibly.
`ssot_constants` keeps neither literal; `constants/model_constants.py`
re-exports both from their new home with `# noqa: F401`, since a re-export is
what an unused import looks like to autoflake (#15911).

The four Anthropic short aliases from `MODEL_COSTS` are folded into the
canonical table. `claude-sonnet-4` and `claude-sonnet-4-20250514` are one model
under two ids, both in use, both agreeing -- so both are keys, adjacent, with a
note that an alias pair is the one drift the guard cannot see.

Two entries in per-1K are not models and cannot be derived from a table of
models: `default` (the fallback `calculators.py:102` reads for an unknown model)
and `ollama`. Kept explicit.

WHY SHAPE-DISCOVERY. A grep for the baselines naming the canonical table found
four. There are five -- `vertexai_source.py` carried no pointer, so nothing
searching for the pointer could find it. The guard recognises pricing tables by
shape, so a table added under any name in any file is covered.

Verified by mutation (baseline 7 passed):

    re-key deepseek back to the local id            1 failed
    change one canonical price                     1 failed
    break key normalisation                        1 failed
    break the per-1K derivation (drop /1000)       1 failed
    drop the `default` fallback entry              1 failed
    autoflake deletes the re-export                1 failed

The fourth of those SURVIVED the first version of the guard, at 3 passed. The
AST sweep sees literal tables, and consolidation had turned per-1K into a
comprehension -- so the fix moved the risk from "two literals drift" to "the
derivation is wrong" and left the guard behind it. Runtime checks on the derived
views close that; a guard that stops where its subject moved to is not a guard.

The table floor drops 8 -> 6 and that is the work, not an accommodation: two
literals became derived views, and a derived view cannot drift. The two cases
are indistinguishable from the number alone, so the reason is written at the
constant.

93 passed across the pricing, budget and cost-accrual suites.

* Auto-fix: code formatting

Applied Black, isort, and autoflake to match code-quality checks.
Triggered by workflow auto-fix-formatting.yml.

* fix(pricing): both file-size ceilings, in both directions (#15912)

The ratchet failed on one file over and one file under, in the same commit, and
the pairing is the argument for it being bidirectional:

  analytics_llm_patterns.py  1016 / ceiling 1015   — my +1 line
  ssot_constants.py            896 / ceiling 915   — the two tables I removed

Only recording both distinguishes "the work shrank the file" from "the sweep
stopped seeing part of it". A one-directional ratchet would have accepted the
896 silently.

The over-ceiling one is not fixed by raising the ceiling. My import block was
four lines (comment, import, blank, alias assignment) where the file already sat
exactly at its limit; it is now two, importing under the name the module uses:

    from autobot_shared.model_pricing import MODEL_COSTS_PER_1M_TOKENS as MODEL_COSTS

1016 -> 1013, and the ceiling follows down to 1013 rather than up to 1016. A
ceiling raised to fit a line I chose to add would spend a grandfathered file's
remaining headroom on my own convenience.

`MODEL_COSTS` still resolves, 49 entries. Ratchet: 5,241 files scanned, 497
grandfathered, all live and at size. Guard still 7 passed.

* fix(pricing): check the alias pairing instead of claiming the layout mitigates it (#15912)

Two review findings, one of which is that my own mitigation comment was false.

THE ADJACENCY CLAIM WAS WRONG TWICE. The comment said an alias pair "could
diverge from their dated twins without failing anything. Keeping them adjacent
is the whole mitigation."

  :112  ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4        3.00 / 15.00
  :172  ANTHROPIC_CLAUDE_SONNET4_SHORT  3.00 / 15.00

Sixty lines and ~50 local-model entries apart. The aliases are adjacent to each
OTHER; each is far from the twin the sentence names.

And the mechanism it asserted is proximity -- which is the exact thing #15912
was filed about: "the drift is currently prevented by attention, and #15910
removes the thing attention was relying on -- proximity." A fix that reinstates
attention as its own safeguard has not fixed it.

Replaced with a check. `alias_pairs()` derives `{alias -> canonical}` from the
`_DATED` / `_SHORT` suffix convention on the constant NAMES, so a fifth alias
added tomorrow is covered without anyone remembering -- a hand-written map would
be an enumeration, which is the other half of the same complaint. Four pairs
derived, floored, with a fixture proving the comparison would catch a
divergence: the tree agrees today, so a check comparing nothing passes
everything else.

    diverge an alias from its dated twin    1 failed  (was: undetectable)

REACH: `ast.walk` rather than `tree.body` in `discover_pricing_tables`. A table
assigned as a class attribute is still a table, and this codebase does put
pricing names at class level (`calculators.py:41`, `:154`). Zero such tables
today; the docstring promised "any name in any file" and module-level-only
delivered less. Same shape as #15902's floor counting files opened rather than
files parsed -- a docstring claiming more reach than the code has.

10 passed. Ceilings unchanged.

* fix(pricing): cite symbols, and update BOTH ratchet mirrors (#15912)

Two independent CI failures, both mine.

LINE-NUMBER CITATIONS. Three comments cited `calculators.py:41`, `:102` and
`:154`. All three were correct when written, which is the argument rather than a
mitigation: a line number is invalidated by an edit to code it does not
describe, and nothing connects the two. Now `TokenTracker.DEFAULT_COSTS`,
`TokenTracker.track_usage` and `CostCalculator.MODEL_PRICING`.

Caught by `comment_line_number_citations_test.py` (#15896). Swept my other three
open branches for the same shape while here: none.

Fixing it also caught a second error the guard could not see. My first
replacement named `CostEstimator.MODEL_PRICING`; the class at that line is
`CostCalculator`. **A symbol citation is checkable and a wrong one is a lie the
reader can catch** -- which is the other half of why symbols beat line numbers,
and I got it wrong on the way to getting it right.

RATCHET MIRRORS. `scripts/python_file_size_known_large.py` had the lowered
ceilings and `repo_tests/python_file_size_ratchet_baseline.py` did not. Both
entries, both files, same commit (#14498).

Worth recording why my own check missed it: I verified with
`check_python_file_size.py --audit-ceilings`, which reads ONE mirror and passed.
A verification that consults one of the two things that must agree cannot detect
them disagreeing -- the same shape as a denominator drawn from its numerator,
in the tool I chose to confirm with.

46 passed across the pricing guard, the citation guard and the ratchet guard.
