Scenario

With use_endpoint=true and 10 cached turns, time two consecutive :cost detail calls (the second should be fast).

Expected

First call: ~30ms × 11 (sys + 10 turns first time) ≈ 330ms.
Second call: ~30ms × 1 (sys only; turns cached on _tokens) ≈ 30ms.
Observable speedup demonstrates the cache works.

Verified PASS via autonomous test driver at commit 08dba69 (Phase 8 implement-complete).

Cache amortization mechanism covered by TC#78 (same code path: turn._tokens populated lazily on first tokenize_fn call, hit on subsequent estimate_tokens calls). Worst-case perf bounded to (#turns + 1) network round-trips on cache-cold start; O(N) dict lookups thereafter.

Closed by Phase 8 verify.
