 ## [Unreleased]
 
-_No unreleased changes._
+- **Corrected: the 81.5% figure below is wrong, and the fix that revealed it has
+  landed.** The 0.13.0 entry justifies making the Bash escrow the default with
+  "81.5% of new tokens per turn landing right after a Bash result". That table
+  had two defects. `last_result` was reset only per file, so a turn with no new
+  tool result inherited the previous turn's label; and the per-turn snapshot was
+  taken on every accepted row and cleared each time, while the usage reducer
+  selects the last row of a response group, so a multi-row response read an
+  already-cleared snapshot. Both are fixed. On the same kind of local corpus the
+  corrected table reads `no_tool_result` about 72% and Bash about 18%, and
+  `multi_result_turns` goes from roughly 108 to roughly 2,150. A local transcript
+  directory grows while you use it, so these are the shape of the correction
+  rather than fixed figures; the method is in `docs/safety-reference.md`.
+
+  **What the corrected table does and does not say about the escrow default.**
+  Turns divide on a second axis: whether the cached prefix was written or
+  extended. Among the incremental turns, where `cache_creation` grows roughly
+  with what just entered the context, Bash still ranks first at about 69%. That
+  is a ranking on one corpus, not a measured saving, and it is the narrower claim
+  the default now rests on.
+
+  The prefix-write turns are about 77% of `cache_creation`. Nothing that only
+  trims a single tool result changes those turns, because their size tracks the
+  whole context at that moment — though a hook that keeps the context smaller
+  over a session does reduce what a later rewrite has to write. The audit now
+  reports them as their own `cold_start` / `cache_rewrite` / `incremental`
+  fields.
+
+  Historical entries below keep the text they were published with; where an
+  affected figure appears, a pointer to this correction was added beside it.

+- new tokens per turn (cache_creation distribution) and the "by preceding tool_result" table: this is the quantity billed under prompt caching. The table covers every counted turn, so read the `cold_start` / `cache_rewrite` / `incremental` fields beside it before naming a tool. Turns that wrote the cached prefix track context size at that moment rather than what a tool just returned, so trimming one result does not change them.
