ken-gain

Show ken measured impact as a scoreboard from its own benchmark results. Honest empty state when none exist. One-shot display.

Display the scoreboard when invoked. One-shot: do NOT change mode, write flag files, or persist anything.

Source of truth

The only figures this card may show are medians from ken's own runs recorded in benchmarks/results/ of the ken repo. Render the recorded figures as plain ASCII bars (bar length = measured range, label = exact figure).

If benchmarks/results/ has no ken results yet, print:

text

  ken gain: no measured numbers yet.

  Nothing is claimed that wasn't measured. Run the harness in benchmarks/
  (see benchmarks/README.md; needs API keys in .env) to produce the first
  real entry.

  This repo, today:  /ken-debt  (the counted ceilings ledger)
                     /ken-audit (what's rewritable right now)

Honesty boundary

Figures are benchmark medians, not this repo. NEVER print a per-repo savings number ("you saved X lines/tokens here"): the unbuilt version was never written, so there is no real baseline to subtract from in a live repo. The only real per-repo figures come from /ken-debt (a counted ledger), and this card points there instead of inventing one. Never render another project's numbers as ken's.

Boundaries

One-shot display. Edits nothing, changes no mode. "stop ken" or "normal mode": revert.
