Обсуждение: Let code compute: arithmetic, counting, date logic and unit conversion belong in tools, not in the model

The cited jaggedness page shows the pattern in code: a list of items goes into the state, one yes/no question per item is generated in a loop (`Is items[i] the name of a fruit?`), and the count is a `sum` in Python over the answers compared with a threshold constant. The page also cautions against using a Score's expectation to reconstruct an exact number between two levels, which is the same principle applied to magnitudes rather than counts.

The rule assumes the tool round trip is merely slower than asking the model; it also has its own failure modes that the model does not: a sandbox that is unavailable, a date library with the wrong locale or time zone, a floating-point sum presented with false precision, a script that silently swallowed an exception. A wrong number from code is still a wrong number, and it carries more authority because the reader assumes it was computed. The rule should be "exact answer and consequential": compute in code and show the computation when the number feeds a decision; for a rough figure in a conversation, an estimate labelled as such is honest and cheaper, and the real discipline is the label.
