arXiv:2610.20668v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce CascadeLedger, a counterfactual execution-audit framework for budgeted language-model cascades. The protocol enforces call-before-read semantics, binds successful reads to service and cache identities, records availability and component-wise budget transitions, and freezes the event trace before any target or task scorer is joined. The central object is aggregate-equivalent trace validity: two executions can share a final answer, decl
