Add comprehensive comparison guide for Cycles vs alternatives#6
Conversation
Covers five comparisons with structured analysis and tables: - Rate limiting vs Cycles - Observability vs Cycles - Provider budget caps vs Cycles - In-app counters vs Cycles - Job schedulers/retries vs Cycles https://claude.ai/code/session_013CqpHwfkjrnoXKBsZNDcWE
Replaces the plain summary table with a detailed capability matrix using checkmark/partial/missing indicators across all six approaches. Adds honest notes about partial ratings and where Cycles has gaps. https://claude.ai/code/session_013CqpHwfkjrnoXKBsZNDcWE

Summary
Added a new conceptual documentation page that compares Cycles to existing tools and approaches teams use for managing autonomous system execution and costs.
Changes
New document:
concepts/how-cycles-compares-to-rate-limiters-observability-provider-caps-in-app-counters-and-job-schedulers.mdUpdated navigation: Modified
.vitepress/config.tsto add the new guide to the concepts section sidebarKey Content
The guide establishes that while each alternative solves real problems, none address the core problem Cycles solves: pre-execution, budget-aware governance for autonomous systems. It emphasizes that Cycles fills a gap in the existing tooling landscape and works best as part of a comprehensive control strategy alongside rate limiters, observability, provider caps, and job schedulers.
