The ROI is good output quality on every turn.</p>\n</div>\n\n<div style=\"background:#2d2d2d;padding:16px;border-radius:6px;margin-top:16px;\">\n<h4 style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;color:#fff;\">Alternative Optimizations</h4>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8;color:#9ca3af;\">\n<li><strong>Trim verbose examples</strong> - Some HTML snippets could be shorter</li>\n<li><strong>Remove duplication</strong> - Light theme templates are rarely used (we default to dark)</li>\n<li><strong>Consolidate button styles</strong> - Could be a single reference table</li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"color:#7f848e;margin:12px 0 0 0;font-size:0.85rem;\">Potential savings: ~2-3K tokens with careful pruning</p>\n</div>\n\n</div>",
