[cost\_intel] Haiku/Flash produce subtle race conditions in async/await patterns

Use Sonnet/Pro for generating async/concurrent code \(asyncio, goroutines, Promises\); use Haiku only for synchronous single-threaded functions; validate all async Haiku output with static analysis tools before deployment

Journey Context:
Small models misunderstand concurrency primitives, often omitting await keywords, misusing locks, or creating race conditions. These are semantic bugs that compile but fail in production. The debugging cost far exceeds the 5x token savings of using Haiku. Sonnet's training corpus includes more robust concurrent programming examples.
