TurnCost: A Cache-Aware Re-Scoring Tool for Agent Trajectory Corpora (doi:10.5281/zenodo.22216661): TurnCost recomputes the cost of published agent-trajectory corpora under an explicit, inspectable prefix-cache model. Published corpora ship full conversations but no token accounting; because prefix-cache behavior is deterministic on an append-only transcript, TurnCost reconstructs per-turn context from the message ...
