[cost\_intel] Assuming o1 improves vulnerability detection versus GPT-4o on standard CWEs

Use GPT-4o with specialized security prompt chains; o1 shows <5% improvement on standard CVE patterns at 20x cost

Journey Context:
CWE Top 25 detection rates: 4o at 78%, o1 at 82%; reasoning overhead does not help pattern matching against known vulnerability signatures where context window and prompt engineering dominate. Cost-per-vulnerability-found is $0.50 with 4o vs $10 with o1.
