Runaway Guard

lingxling/runaway-guard

Cost-safety discipline for paid AI / inference APIs: treat $-cost as a third complexity dimension alongside time and space. Forces a written per-run $-cap, per-day $-cap, max-iterations bound, concurrency limit, and a matching provider-dashboard hard cap BEFORE any call site is written.
