 ## Remaining Core Blocks
 
 1. Complete the Lua host API and scripting documentation.
-2. Add filesystem change watching and reconciliation.
-3. Parallelize publishing targets.
-4. Finish the linked-post and linked-image authoring workflows.
-5. Add generation section-task grouping and AI token accounting.

+4. Return normalized token accounting from one-shot AI calls.
 
 Core is feature-complete when these blocks are closed and the implementation continues to satisfy the Allium and bDS2 compatibility contracts.
