Metadata

Commit Message: feat(provider): add cost controls and fallback
Branch: feature/m4-provider-costs

Background

Token and cost tracking, budget enforcement, rate limits, and provider fallback ordering are implemented. Cost tracking fields are added to plan execution metadata and surfaced in plan status. Config keys for budgets and fallback providers are registered.

Acceptance Criteria

Track tokens/costs, enforce budgets, rate limits, and provider fallback order.
Add cost tracking fields to plan execution metadata and surface in plan status.
Add config keys for budget_per_plan, budget_per_day, and fallback_providers with validation.
Emit warnings when budget is within 10% of limit and block when exceeded.
Add per-provider cost table and default token cost estimates for offline reporting.

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks below are completed and checked off.
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches
the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then
additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation. The
commit body should be appropriate in size for a commit message and relatively
complete in describing what was done.
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in
Metadata exactly.
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and
merged before this issue is marked done.

Subtasks

Track tokens/costs, enforce budgets, rate limits, and provider fallback order.
Add cost tracking fields to plan execution metadata and surface in plan status.
Add config keys for budget_per_plan, budget_per_day, and fallback_providers with validation.
Emit warnings when budget is within 10% of limit and block when exceeded.
Add per-provider cost table and default token cost estimates for offline reporting.
Add fallback selection logic that skips providers without required capabilities (tool calling, streaming).
Persist budget exhaustion events in plan metadata for auditability.
Add docs/reference/cost_controls.md with config keys and thresholds.
Tests (Behave): Add features/cost_controls.feature scenarios.
Tests (Robot): Add cost control integration smoke tests.
Tests (ASV): Add benchmarks/cost_controls_bench.py for cost check overhead.
Verify coverage >=97% via nox -s coverage_report. If coverage is <97% then review the current unit test coverage report at build/coverage.xml and use it to write new Behave based unit tests to improve code coverage. Specifically, write Behave style unit tests that are descriptively named and specifically improves coverage on whichever file has the most uncovered lines by writing tests that will target the uncovered lines in the report. Once that is done rerun nox -s coverage_report to verify all tests pass and coverage is above >=97%. Only mark this as complete once coverage is >=97%, if not repeat this task as many times as is needed until coverage reaches >=97%.
Run nox (all default sessions, including benchmark), fix any errors if needed ensuring nox passes across entire code base, do not ignore any failure even if it seems unrelated to this commit, fix it.

Implementation Complete: Cost Controls and Provider Fallback

Branch: feature/m4-provider-costs
Commit: feat(provider): add cost controls and fallback

New Modules

Module	Lines	Description
`providers/cost_table.py`	217	`CostEntry` (frozen dataclass) + `ProviderCostTable` with default per-token pricing for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Together, Cohere, Mock. Supports custom entries override.
`providers/cost_tracker.py`	367	`BudgetStatus` enum (`under_budget`, `warning`, `exceeded`), `BudgetCheckResult` dataclass, `CostTracker` class with per-plan and per-day budget enforcement. Warns at 90%, blocks at 100%. Records `BudgetExhaustionEvent` on threshold crossing.
`providers/fallback_selector.py`	207	`FallbackResult` dataclass, `FallbackSelector` class. Iterates through configurable provider priority order, filtering by capabilities (`tool_calls`, `streaming`, `vision`, `json_mode`) and budget availability.
`domain/models/core/cost_metadata.py`	162	`BudgetExhaustionEvent` + `CostMetadata` Pydantic models. Tracks total tokens, total cost, per-provider costs, budget remaining, and exhaustion events. Includes `record_usage()` and `as_display_dict()`.

Modified Files

File	Change
`config/settings.py`	Added `budget_per_plan`, `budget_per_day`, `fallback_providers` fields with env var aliases (`CLEVERAGENTS_BUDGET_PER_PLAN`, `CLEVERAGENTS_BUDGET_PER_DAY`, `CLEVERAGENTS_FALLBACK_PROVIDERS`) and validation.
`domain/models/core/plan.py`	Added `cost_metadata: CostMetadata
`providers/__init__.py`	Public exports for all new classes.
`vulture_whitelist.py`	27 new entries for new public API.

Design Decisions

BudgetStatus comparison uses severity dict, not enum ordering. StrEnum comparison is alphabetical ("under_budget" > "exceeded" is True), so a _BUDGET_SEVERITY mapping ensures correct worst-status selection.
CostMetadata imported directly in Plan model (not TYPE_CHECKING). Pydantic requires the actual class at runtime for model validation; TYPE_CHECKING import caused PydanticUserError.
FallbackSelector is decoupled from CostTracker. Both are optional dependencies — the selector works without a cost tracker, and the tracker works without fallback logic.
All budget thresholds are configurable but with sensible defaults. Warn at 90% usage, block at 100%. No budget set = unlimited.
Robot Framework helper clears all API key env vars before testing "no configured providers" scenarios, since CI has real keys set.

Testing

Type	Count	Status
Behave scenarios	71	✅ All pass
Robot Framework tests	6 (of 682 total)	✅ All pass
