The composer ring, percentage, and `~used / capacity` header read
`contextPressure.pressureTokens`, which moves only when a request reports
usage. Compaction reports none — compact-basic summarizes through a direct
`ctx.llm.stream()` call and appends only its own `compact/*` records plus the
replacement `user/message` — so the meter was frozen across the one action
taken to change it. Driving a real `compactNow` through the agent loop:
BEFORE compact: ring=4% header=~4227/100000 rows=[18, 0, 4365]
AFTER compact: ring=4% header=~4227/100000 rows=[18, 0, 286]
The composition rows fell 93%; the ring did not move, and would not until an
entire further turn completed. The panel then contradicted itself by more than
an order of magnitude at exactly the moment a reader opens it.
`contextPressure` now also publishes `projectedTokens`: the provider sample
plus the heuristic repricing of everything the surface gained or lost since
that sample, clamped at zero, folded through the shared `surface-fold.ts`. The
sample is stamped before the same event joins the surface, so an
`assistant/message` anchors against the surface its own request carried. Only
the delta is estimated, so the figure stays provider-anchored — the estimator's
CJK and JSON-schema underpricing stays out of the occupancy number — while
reacting the moment content lands or a span is shadowed. Same run after:
BEFORE compact: ring=4% header=~4323/100000 (pressure=4227, projected=4323)
AFTER compact: ring=0% header=~ 244/100000 (pressure=4227, projected= 244)
`contextOccupancy` prefers the projected figure and falls back to the bare
sample, so a projection restored from a pre-field checkpoint degrades to the
old behavior rather than disappearing. `stateVersion` moves to 3.
Assistant footers and the stats line gain TTFT/tok-per-second readings
folded from step timings; context occupancy moves off the stats line onto
a composer ring whose panel shows a heuristic system/tools/messages
breakdown from the new token-meter contextBreakdown session projection.
Replace the transient `session/model-request` mux frame with ordinary durable
session state. Occupancy now rides two last-wins projection fields instead of a
non-replayable frame that needed removal tombstones and cross-stream fencing.
The frame was the only non-replayable class on the mux stream. Because host and
mux are independent SSE streams with no cross-stream order, a request emitted
before a removal could arrive after `host/session-removed`, and a legitimate
request for a new lifecycle reusing the same id could be fenced by a late
removal. Fixing that needed a lifecycle generation on every frame; the frame
itself was the problem.
Removed: the `session/model-request` frame and schema, the `agent/model-request`
core event, the ApiProxy measurement point, the client-side telemetry map and
removal tombstone, and the synthetic `cancelled` open error used to signal
reconnect through the error channel.
Added: `request/context`, a log-only session event recording the
registration-bound capacity of the route a request resolved to, appended beside
`request/header` from the lookup that already prepared the call and skipped when
the route is unchanged. Capacity stays out of `EpochHeader` because it is
adapter metadata about a route, not an input the request was built from, so it
must not join request reconstruction or header equality.
The `contextPressure` projection pairs the newest provider-reported prompt size
with the newest recorded capacity. The two are deliberately not one atomic
request observation: switching models can pair a fresh capacity with the prior
route's pressure until the next request reports usage. The figure is a
user-facing reference, and this matches how the TUI status line has always
computed occupancy.
