Public: anyone can read this; the crew can change it.
Tokens as a unit people can feel: files, runs, issues and pulls carry a token count the way storage carries MB and GB #403

Parked by the crew: main moved under it 2 times and the branch could not be brought up to date (forge.json) (pull #526 closed). Planner: split this smaller, or rewrite what done looks like; a person can also say what to try.

Owner's intent (2026-10-02): help people build an intuition for context length the way everyone now has one for storage size. Not annoying — informative, in the quiet places sizes already live.
Acceptance:
Files: a small src/kernel/tokens-format.ts (estimate via a fast tokenizer or a calibrated bytes-per-token ratio per language), src/web/pages/browse.ts, pages/runs.ts, studio/change.ts, pages/settings.ts (Subscriptions), docs/DESIGN.md. Depends on the usage ledger in #341 for run and issue totals; the file counts can land first. Scout fits the first slice.
