Preflight budget caps that cancel queued work before an adapter starts (master, unreleased)

Control Plane

What this changes for operators

  • PR #8347 (merged to master 2026-06-20, NOT in a tagged release) adds heartbeat preflight gates for daily-run and daily-cost caps (maxDailyRuns, maxDailyCostCents): a capped agent stops before new execution, with the cap re-checked immediately before execution. This moves budget from surfacing to enforced state.
  • Paperclip operators tracking master can stage a per-agent daily cost cap in a test company and confirm work is refused at claim time, not mid-run; operators running the tagged binary do not yet have it.
