The crawler asked gpt-4.1-mini one three-way question per undecided page, and
then threw away the confidence it asked for in the same prompt. Jev answers that
question as a typed choice for $0.042 per million in and nothing out, with a
confidence that falls out of the distribution rather than the model's opinion of
itself.
It cannot write learnedSignals though -- rule_value is free text -- so the
expensive model is still what teaches a new site. Once a site has banked enough
rules and jev is sure, we stop paying for it. A dead signal call now falls back
to the jev answer instead of losing the page.
confidence is stored on crawler_page_classifications, additively, in both
dialects. Pattern, rule and signal-model rows keep a null rather than borrowing
a number that belonged to a different answer.
The openrouter slug is unverified -- jev is beta there and absent from
/api/v1/models -- so both the slug and the endpoint are env overridable, and a
bad slug degrades to the old path instead of breaking the crawl.
