fix(agent-team): cut token spend — reduce cron frequency + downgrade team-lead to Sonnet (#3310)
Two high-impact, zero-risk changes to get daily agent team spend under $50:
1. Reduce cron frequency:
- Security: */30 → every 4 hours (48→6 cycles/day, 87% reduction)
- Refactor: */15 → every 2 hours (96→12 cycles/day, 87% reduction)
Most cycles find nothing to do (no new PRs/issues). Issue-triggered runs
(on labeled issues) still fire instantly via the `issues` event type,
so response time to real work is unchanged. The trigger-server already
returns 409 when a cycle is in-progress, so high cron frequency was just
idle-polling cost.
2. Downgrade team-lead model from Opus to Sonnet:
- Security: --model sonnet for review_all and scan modes (triage was
already using gemini-3-flash-preview)
- Refactor: --model sonnet
The team lead's job is coordination — spawn teammates, monitor them,
shut down. This is routing, not reasoning. Sonnet handles it fine and
its output tokens are ~5x cheaper than Opus. Teammates (spawned by the
lead) use their own model flags and are unaffected.
Combined effect: ~90% fewer cycles × ~80% cheaper per cycle on the team
lead = estimated 95%+ cost reduction on team-lead tokens alone.
Follow-up PR will trim prompt sizes (Phase 2) and consolidate security
teammates (Phase 3) per the plan, but this Phase 1 closes most of the gap.
