[cost\_intel] Using o1 for the entire code generation pipeline

Use GPT-4o-mini to generate 3-5 candidate solutions, then o1-mini as judge to select/merge; costs ~70% less than full o1 generation with comparable or better quality via ensemble

Journey Context:
Generation requires broad search \(cheap\), evaluation requires deep reasoning \(expensive\). o1 is overkill for generating boilerplate variants. Pattern: Candidate generation \(4o-mini\) -> Verification/Selection \(o1-mini\). Cost calc: 3x $0.15 generation \+ $0.60 verification = $1.05 vs $6.00 for o1 generation alone. Quality often higher due to diversity ensemble.
