Answer checks

3/3 request checks

Method

Code or prose speed smoke, three measured batches after one excluded warmup per user count. Returned token accounting; per-person decode and simultaneous aggregate decode are separate.

Limits

Speed only; outputs reach the token ceiling and do not establish correctness. Whole-Mac memory includes existing applications. Filled contexts observed whole-Mac swap growth; a memory-stable recipe, managed lifecycle and delivery remain unassessed.
