## Measurement contract
`ctx.tokenMeter` directly exposes three operations:
`ctx.tokenMeter` directly exposes two operations:
- `measure(session, requestHeader?)` returns scalar request pressure at one consumed-log revision.
- `measureSurface(session)` returns current surface nodes and their per-node prices at the same kind of revision.
- `measure(session, requestHeader?)` returns request pressure and the current priced surface at one consumed-log revision.
- `estimateMessage(message)` prices one message with the fixed heuristic.
Measurements are detached and deeply immutable. A caller that needs a consistent scalar/surface decision compares their `logRevision` values instead of copying the full history on every read.
`measure()` synchronizes once and returns one detached, deeply immutable snapshot. `totalTokens` is request-and-response pressure, while `surfaceTokens` is the surface-only heuristic total and equals the sum of `nodes[].tokens`. A `requestHeader` override affects pressure fields only; the surface fields still describe the current session. Every call clones the positional nodes, so measurement is O(surface).
The fold tracks request headers and deltas, step boundaries, surface appends and replacements, successful assistant messages, provider usage, and assistant-chunk provenance. Provider usage is reused only when the latest successful call's canonical request envelope matches the measured envelope; a later success replaces the earlier anchor. Otherwise the complete current envelope and surface are estimated. Surface changes remain signed relative to a matching anchor, including negative deltas after shrinking replacements.

## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **The fixed heuristic is approximate** — content without reusable provider usage is priced by character count plus structural overhead, not an exact provider tokenizer or request serializer.
- **Every measurement clones the current surface** — coherent immutable snapshots make reads O(surface), including below-threshold pressure checks.
- **Provider usage is only reusable for an identical canonical envelope** — prompt, prefix, tools, model, or call-config changes deliberately fall back to full heuristic estimation.
- **Legacy provenance is conservative** — assistant messages without `sourceEventSeqs` cannot distinguish provider output from listener rewrites, so the fold avoids claiming a known empty or exact chunk stream.
