Research direction

Start in tokenjam/core/export/claude_code.py and read the existing JSONC caveat block produced by tj optimize --export-config. Add a short comment there pointing users to validate candidate routes with tokenjam-bench, keeping the existing honest framing. Done when the validation guidance is in that block and does not imply a route is safe to apply.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement good first issue

tj optimize --export-config writes a routing snippet (tokenjam/core/export/claude_code.py) with honest caveat comments. Those routes are candidates — the snippet should point users at tokenjam-bench to validate a route before relying on it.

What to do

Add a short comment line to the exported JSONC caveat block, e.g.:

// Validate a route before relying on it: pip install tokenjam-bench
//   tjb run --original <model> --candidate <model>
Acceptance criteria
  • Comment lands in the existing caveat block, not as a new noisy section.
  • Wording matches the existing honest framing (candidate / review), never "safe to apply".
📦 Before you start — install and learn tokenjam-bench

This issue cross-links to tokenjam-bench, so please get hands-on with it first. The copy you add should come from actually understanding the tool, not a guess:

  1. Install it: pip install tokenjam-bench
  2. Run a proof to see what it produces: tjb run (offline, zero-flag), then explore tjb --help and tjb serve (the live proof dashboard).
  3. Read its README so you understand what it measures — pass-rate on a task suite with Wilson CI + McNemar, a hedged verdict like "HOLDS / REGRESSED" — and what it deliberately does not claim (never "certified", never "quality preserved").

Your wording in this change should match that honest framing before you open the PR.
