docs: add subscription token limits & Goose comparison

Enrichir la section subscription limits (ultimate-guide.md):
- Tableau des budgets tokens par plan (Pro 44K, Max 88-220K)
- Ratio Opus/Sonnet 8-10× documenté explicitement
- Clarification "heures" = temps de traitement, pas tokens
- Lien vers ccusage (outil communautaire de monitoring)
- Note historique sur réductions non annoncées (Oct 2025)

Nouvelle section Goose dans ai-ecosystem.md:
- Comparaison technique Claude Code vs Goose (7 critères)
- Stats GitHub (15K+ stars, 350+ contributors)
- Use cases et trade-offs honnêtes
- Hardware requirements selon LLM
- Quick start avec commandes d'installation

**How Subscription Limits Work**
Unlike API usage (pay-per-token), subscriptions use a different model:
Unlike API usage (pay-per-token), subscriptions use a hybrid model that's deliberately opaque:
| Concept | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Message windows** | Limits reset periodically (e.g., every few hours), not daily |
| **Hybrid counting** | Advertised as "messages" but actual capacity varies by message length, attachments, and context size |
| **Weekly caps** | Higher tiers may have weekly limits to prevent continuous 24/7 usage |
| **Model weighting** | Opus consumes quota faster than Sonnet; Haiku is lightest |
| **5-hour rolling window** | Primary limit; resets when you send next message after 5 hours lapse |
| **Weekly aggregate cap** | Secondary limit; resets every 7 days. Both apply simultaneously |
| **Hybrid counting** | Advertised as "messages" but actual capacity is token-based, varying by code complexity, file size, and context |
| **Model weighting** | **Opus consumes 8-10× more quota than Sonnet** for equivalent work |
**Approximate Token Budgets by Plan** (Jan 2026, community-verified)
| Plan | 5-Hour Token Budget | Weekly Sonnet Hours | Weekly Opus Hours | Claude Code Access |
|------|---------------------|---------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
| **Free** | 0 | 0 | 0 | ❌ None |
| **Pro** ($20/mo) | ~44,000 tokens | 40-80 hours | N/A (Sonnet only) | ✅ Limited |
| **Max 5x** ($100/mo) | ~88,000-220,000 tokens | 140-280 hours | 15-35 hours | ✅ Full |
| **Max 20x** ($200/mo) | ~220,000+ tokens | 240-480 hours | 24-40 hours | ✅ Full |
> **Warning**: These are community-measured estimates. Anthropic does not publish exact token limits, and limits have been reduced without announcement (notably Oct 2025). The 8-10× Opus/Sonnet ratio means Max 20x users get only ~24-40 Opus hours weekly despite paying $200/month.
**Why "Hours" Are Misleading**
The term "hours of Sonnet 4" refers to **elapsed wall-clock time** during active processing, not calendar hours. This is not directly convertible to tokens without knowing:
- Code complexity (larger files = higher per-token overhead)
- Tool usage (Bash execution adds ~245 input tokens per call; text editor adds ~700)
- Context re-reads and caching misses
**Tier-Specific Strategies**
| If you have... | Recommended approach |
|----------------|---------------------|
| **Pro plan** | Sonnet only; batch sessions, avoid context bloat |
| **Limited Opus quota** | OpusPlan essential: Opus for planning, Sonnet for execution |
| **Moderate quota** | Sonnet default, Opus only for architecture/complex debugging |
| **Generous quota** | More Opus freedom, but still monitor weekly usage |
| **Unlimited/high tier** | Use Opus freely, focus on productivity over optimization |
| **Max 5x** | Sonnet default, Opus only for architecture/complex debugging |
| **Max 20x** | More Opus freedom, but still monitor weekly usage (24-40h goes fast) |

Anthropic provides no in-app real-time usage metrics. Community tools like [`ccusage`](https://github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage) help track token consumption across sessions.
For subscription usage history: Check your [Anthropic Console](https://console.anthropic.com/settings/usage) or Claude.ai settings.
**Historical Note**: In October 2025, users reported significant undocumented limit reductions coinciding with Sonnet 4.5's release. Pro users who previously sustained 40-80 Sonnet hours weekly reported hitting limits after only 6-8 hours. Anthropic acknowledged the limits but did not explain the discrepancy.
