Eight tactics, one proxy, and the spend-cap discipline that takes a $5,600 month down to $60. Real prices, real receipts, real config blocks.

• The 8 cost-control tactics, the cron-isolation pattern, and the cost proxy that bolts a hard spend cap onto OpenClaw
• The 4-tier model routing that drops Opus-only $500 months to $30 to $70 with no measurable quality loss
• Real config blocks for heartbeat, caching, and TokPinch plus the 30-line pre-flight checklist for unattended overnight runs
