(Sun)
Budget 600

CONSTRAINT: distance_source may be contract_table,

empirical_lane, or geo_estimate. Treat geo_estimate as

unsupported and flag it rather than relying on it.

OUTPUT: a verdict line, then a ranked exception table.

Do not restate the input. Do not speculate on causes

that the register cannot evidence.

— Below this line is overspend —

For additional background, note that the predecessor

used a trailing six-month average, and that the freight

market in April was affected by seasonal peak surcharges,

and also please be thorough and detailed and consider

every possible angle at length before answering, and

remember to be helpful, accurate, and comprehensive.

The token budget840 → 512

Every token you spend is a token you cannot spend later. The counter stays visible in the editor, because the budget is the lesson.
