What

Cost estimation now chooses a one-hour cache lifetime when a longer-TTL override is configured or the request comes from the interactive session's main thread, and five minutes otherwise, so estimates match the cache tier actually used.

Evidence

return nM("repl_main_thread") ? "1h" : "5m";

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
