What happened
On an AI agent that charges per attempt, every new version costs money. But the agent never says no, so it is easy to ask for one more. The home page hero section was redone again and again.
Why it matters
The project ended up with 556 commits. That number is inflated, because Replit saves a checkpoint after every small step, so each commit is tiny. Commits are not a measure of progress, but the bill is real.
