Context
From PR #1302 follow-up (not blocking):
The show_full_output: false setting in anthropics/claude-code-action keeps the per-call token counts hidden. If we ever want to track token-level efficiency over time, we could either flip that on for the triage job specifically, or scrape the OpenTelemetry log events that the SDK emits (richer detail than the summary result).
Background
The PR analysis used total_cost_usd as a proxy for token volume (since per-call counts aren't exposed at the result level with show_full_output: false). Per-run cost comparison:

Options
Option A: show_full_output: true on the triage job
- Exposes per-call token counts in CI logs
- Increases log verbosity significantly
- Easy to implement: one line change in the workflow
Option B: Scrape OpenTelemetry events from SDK
- Richer detail (per-call breakdown, cache hit rates)
- Requires parsing structured log output
- More setup complexity
Option C: Status quo — use total_cost_usd as proxy
- Already working; cost is a reasonable efficiency signal
- No action needed unless finer granularity is wanted
