Does sdods agent generate --dry-run call the model at all?

Before I point this at a paid key I would like to see what it is going to send. Does --dry-run do a cheap call, or no call?

No call, and no credential needed. --dry-run selects the fake adapter and prints the prompt, the tool list and the budget, then stops:
bash
```
sdods agent generate -p demo-shop --goal "checkout with a discount code" --dry-run
```
The output ends with a line telling you no files were written. Nothing is billed, nothing lands in proposals/, and --adapter fake on its own does the same without the printing.
The tool list is the part worth reading. That is the menu the model gets, and it is where you find out you enabled a capability you did not mean to, or that the role you picked has no browser attached.

It is also the cheapest way to check that the project and env resolve, since the prompt carries the resolved config. If the dry run shows the wrong base URL, a real run would have spent money to tell you the same thing.
Habit worth forming: dry run, read the tool list, then drop the flag.
