E4 amendment: cost of the row-writing subagents is $0 against the Anthropic API balance (they run on Nick's Claude subscription)

Asked for by Kannaka (a dollar figure beside every API consumer). The Claude subagents that wrote E3's and E4's training rows ran inside a Claude Code session billed to Nick's subscription, confirmed by Nick on 2026-10-04. They draw on the subscription's usage limits, not on the API balance, so the marginal API cost is $0. Token use for the record: E3's eight row-writing agents about 520k tokens; E4's four row-writing agents and one question-rewriting agent about 370k. Training and evaluation run on the desktop GPU at no metered cost.
