fix(costs): disable cost tracking until Claude Code exposes cost data

Cost tracking infrastructure works but has no data source:
- Claude Code displays costs in TUI status bar, not scrollback
- tmux capture-pane can't see TUI chrome
- All sessions show $0.00

Changes:
- Mark gt costs command as [DISABLED] with deprecation warnings
- Mark costs-digest patrol step as [DISABLED] with skip instructions
- Document requirement for Claude Code to expose CLAUDE_SESSION_COST

Infrastructure preserved for re-enabling when Claude Code adds support.

-**Step 1: Check if digest is needed**
+**Why disabled:**
-```bash
+- The `gt costs` command uses tmux capture-pane to find costs
-# Preview yesterday's costs (dry run)
+- Claude Code displays costs in the TUI status bar, not in scrollback
-gt costs digest --yesterday --dry-run
+- All sessions show $0.00 because capture-pane can't see TUI chrome
-```
+- The infrastructure is sound but has no data source
 
-If output shows "No session cost wisps found", skip to Step 3.
+**What we need from Claude Code:**
+- Stop hook env var (e.g., `$CLAUDE_SESSION_COST`)
+- Or queryable file/API endpoint
 
-**Step 2: Create the digest**
+**Re-enable when:** Claude Code exposes cost data via API or environment.
-```bash
-gt costs digest --yesterday
-```
 
-This:
+See: GH#24, gt-7awfj
-- Queries all session.ended wisps from yesterday
-- Creates a single "Cost Report YYYY-MM-DD" bead with aggregated data
-- Deletes the source wisps
 
-**Step 3: Verify**
+**Exit criteria:** Skip this step - proceed to next."""
-The digest appears in `gt costs --week` queries.
-Daily digests preserve audit trail without per-session pollution.
-
-**Timing**: Run once per morning patrol cycle. The --yesterday flag ensures
-we don't try to digest today's incomplete data.
-
-**Exit criteria:** Yesterday's costs digested (or no wisps to digest)."""
