[cost\_intel] Using o1 end-to-end instead of verify-then-execute chaining

Use GPT-4o to generate 3 candidate solutions, then o1-mini as a judge to select the best; this achieves 90% of o1's accuracy at 25% of the cost for code generation.

Journey Context:
o1 internally does best-of-N search. Externalize this: fast generator \+ strong verifier. This works when the task is verification-easier-than-generation \(code, math\). It fails when reasoning must guide generation \(novel algorithms\). The cost curve favors chaining when accuracy requirements are <95%.
