fix(cache): normalize embeddings before the semantic similarity check (#2122)
## Description

The semantic tier of the dynamic-content detector compares an
unnormalized dot product against a cosine threshold, so it flags almost
everything as dynamic and strips the static content it is supposed to
protect.

`SemanticDetector` pre-computes exemplar embeddings and, per sentence,
scores similarity with `np.dot` and compares to `semantic_threshold`:

```python
self._exemplar_embeddings = self._model.encode(self.DYNAMIC_EXEMPLARS, convert_to_numpy=True)
...
sentence_embeddings = self._model.encode(sentence_texts, convert_to_numpy=True)
similarities = np.dot(sentence_embeddings, self._exemplar_embeddings.T)
...
if max_sim < self.config.semantic_threshold:   # semantic_threshold defaults to 0.7
    continue
```

`sentence_transformers.encode(..., convert_to_numpy=True)` does **not**
normalize by default. So `np.dot` here is an inner product whose
magnitude scales with the embedding norms (typically ~5-15 for MiniLM),
not a cosine similarity in [0, 1]. Comparing that against
`semantic_threshold=0.7` (documented and configured as a 0-1 similarity)
is a scale mismatch: nearly every sentence clears the threshold, so the
semantic tier classifies almost all text as dynamic, moves it into
`dynamic_content`, and empties `static_content` — busting the very cache
the detector exists to protect.

A standalone repro: an unrelated sentence with a true cosine of ~0.1 to
an exemplar produces a raw dot of ~9.1 (well over 0.7); normalized, it
correctly scores ~0.09 and stays static.

The correct behavior is used by the in-repo siblings:
`prediction/feature_extractor.py` passes `normalize_embeddings=True`,
and `memory/adapters/embedders.py` L2-normalizes before dot-product
similarity. This detector did neither.

## Fix

Pass `normalize_embeddings=True` to both `encode` calls (exemplars in
`__init__` and sentences in `detect`). Both sides of the dot product are
then unit vectors, so `np.dot` is a true cosine similarity in [-1, 1],
comparable to `semantic_threshold`.

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- `headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py`: add `normalize_embeddings=True`
to the exemplar encode (`__init__`) and the sentence encode (`detect`),
with comments explaining the cosine requirement.
- `tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py`: add
`TestSemanticDetectorNormalization` — a recording fake model asserts
both encode calls pass `normalize_embeddings=True` (via `object.__new__`
for `detect`, and a monkeypatched registry for `__init__`). No model
download needed.
- `CHANGELOG.md`: Bug Fixes entry.

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`uv run --extra dev pytest
tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py::TestSemanticDetectorNormalization
-q`)
- [x] Linting passes (`uvx ruff@0.15.17 check
headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py
tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py headroom/memory/factory.py`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`uvx mypy==1.20.2
headroom/memory/factory.py`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [ ] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ uvx ruff@0.15.17 check headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py
All checks passed!
$ python -m py_compile headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py
OK
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: Windows 11, Python 3.12, `uvx ruff@0.15.17`, numpy.
Importing `headroom` pulls in the torch/transformers stack and a full
`pytest` gets OOM-killed on this box, so I verified the scale mismatch
with a dependency-free numpy script (no sentence-transformers), and left
the full pytest to CI.
- Exact command / steps: built a MiniLM-dimension exemplar direction and
a sentence direction with a true cosine of ~0.1 (genuinely not dynamic),
gave them realistic un-normalized magnitudes (~9 and ~11), and computed
the old `np.dot` of the raw vectors versus the new `np.dot` of the
normalized vectors, against the 0.7 threshold.
- Observed result: old raw dot ~9.1 (far above 0.7 -> the unrelated
sentence is wrongly flagged dynamic); new cosine ~0.09 (below 0.7 ->
correctly kept static), and always within [-1, 1]. The new tests assert
both encode calls pass `normalize_embeddings=True`.
- Not tested: a real sentence-transformers model end to end; full local
`pytest` deferred to CI (OOM, per above).

## Review Readiness

## Additional Notes

Merged current `main` to pick up the repository-wide mypy cache-key
annotation fix, then verified the focused regression locally. the change
adds one keyword argument to two `encode` calls, verified by the numpy
proof and the new fake-model tests for CI. The fix brings this detector
in line with the two sibling call sites that already normalize.

fix(cache): stop DynamicContentDetector false positives corrupting cached prompts (#2110) (#2119)
## Description
`DynamicContentDetector` / `RegexDetector` in
`headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py` (used by the `cache_aligner`
transform) misclassified ordinary English words and code identifiers
(e.g. `in_pr`) as "dynamic content," extracting them from the system
prompt and re-appending a `[Dynamic Context]` tail that grows
unboundedly and corrupts the cached prompt over a session.

Fix tightens detection to require genuinely-dynamic shapes (timestamps,
UUIDs, hashes, numbers-with-units, ISO dates) rather than bare tokens —
no hardcoded wordlist — and bounds the tail. `cache_aligner` is off by
default, so blast radius is limited, but the detector logic is now
correct.

Closes #2110

## Type of Change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

## Changes Made
- `headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py`: raise the evidence bar so
ordinary words/identifiers aren't extracted; bound the dynamic tail.
- `tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py`: assert false positives
(ordinary words/identifiers) are NOT extracted while real dynamic values
still are.

## Testing
- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest
tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check`)
### Test Output
```text
55 passed, 2 skipped
ruff: All checks passed!
```

## Real Behavior Proof
- Before: identifiers like `in_pr` extracted into a growing `[Dynamic
Context]` tail, corrupting cached prompts.
- After: ordinary tokens stay in place; only genuinely-dynamic values
are detected.

fix(cache): name the missing piece in semantic detector guard (#1018)
## Description

The `test` and `test-extras` CI jobs are currently red on `main`:
`tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py::TestSemanticDetectorGuards::test_none_exemplars_early_return`
fails. This PR fixes the underlying regression. It is independent of any
feature branch (it only touches `headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py` and
its test).

#950 folded the exemplar-embeddings None-check into the model
None-guard:

```python
if self._model is None or self._exemplar_embeddings is None:
    return [], self._load_error or "semantic detector is not initialized"
```

So a `SemanticDetector` with a loaded model but unset exemplar
embeddings now returns the generic *"semantic detector is not
initialized"* message, shadowing the specific *"exemplar embeddings not
initialized"* message and leaving the later guard as unreachable dead
code. That directly contradicts #950's own
`test_none_exemplars_early_return`, which asserts the specific message —
hence the red main.

## Type of Change

- [ ] New feature
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] Breaking change
- [ ] Documentation

## Changes Made

- `SemanticDetector.detect`: split the combined guard into two checks —
`_model` then `_exemplar_embeddings` — both *before* `encode()`. The
model-missing case keeps the generic message; the exemplar-missing case
reports the specific *"exemplar embeddings not initialized"*. Checking
before `encode()` avoids a wasted encode in the error path and preserves
the mypy narrowing for `np.dot(..., self._exemplar_embeddings.T)`. The
previously-shadowed duplicate guard is removed.
- `tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py`:
`test_missing_exemplar_embeddings_returns_warning` sets the same
model-present / exemplar-None state, so its assertion is aligned to the
specific message to match `test_none_exemplars_early_return`.

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes

### Test Output

```text
$ pytest tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py -q

$ mypy headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py
Success: no issues found in 1 source file
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: local macOS, repo .venv, Python 3.11.9, numpy installed
- Exact command / steps: construct a `SemanticDetector` via
`object.__new__` with `_model` set (mock) and `_exemplar_embeddings =
None`, then call `.detect(...)`. Before fix: on `upstream/main`
(7c8c909c) `test_none_exemplars_early_return` fails with `assert
'semantic detector is not initialized' == 'exemplar embeddings not
initialized'`. After fix: full file 38 passed, full `tests/test_cache/`
198 passed.
- Observed result: model-present + exemplar-None now returns `(spans=[],
"exemplar embeddings not initialized")`; model-None still returns the
generic message; `np.dot` is never reached with a None matrix.
- Not tested: live model load / real embeddings — the guards are the
unavailable-state paths, exercised via the existing mock-based unit
tests.

## Review Readiness

- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review

## Additional Notes

This takes the **specific-message** direction because it matches #950's
newest test, the original (now-dead) specific guard string, and gives a
more actionable warning. The conservative **alternative** — keep the
generic unified message, delete the dead specific guard, and update
`test_none_exemplars_early_return` to assert the generic string — also
turns CI green with no production behavior change. Happy to switch to
that if you prefer; it's your call on the intended contract.

fix(cache): guard None exemplar embeddings in dynamic detector (#950)
## Description

`mypy headroom --ignore-missing-imports` fails on `main` at
`headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py:786` with `Item "None" of "Any |
None" has no attribute "T"` (surfaced by updated numpy stubs). This
breaks the `lint` job for every open PR that merges current main. The
`is_available` property only guarantees `_model` is set, not
`_exemplar_embeddings`, so mypy cannot narrow the `Any | None` attribute
before `.T` — and if it were ever None this is a real runtime crash, not
just a type nit.

Closes # <!-- broken-main lint failure; no tracked issue -->

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [ ] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- `headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py`: add an explicit
`self._exemplar_embeddings is None` guard before the `np.dot(..., .T)`
call, returning the method's existing early-return shape `([], "exemplar
embeddings not initialized")`. Narrows the type for mypy and prevents a
latent `None.T` crash.
- `tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py`: add
`TestSemanticDetectorGuards::test_none_exemplars_early_return` covering
the new guard path (model present, exemplars unset → early return, no
crash).

## Testing

- [x] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ mypy headroom --ignore-missing-imports --no-incremental
(0 errors — was: "Found 1 error in 1 file" at dynamic_detector.py:786)

$ ruff check headroom/cache/dynamic_detector.py tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py
All checks passed!

$ pytest tests/test_cache/test_dynamic_detector.py -q
37 passed, 2 skipped
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: local macOS, Python 3.11, branch
`fix/dynamic-detector-mypy` from current `origin/main`.
- Exact command / steps: `mypy headroom --ignore-missing-imports
--no-incremental` before and after the change (must clear the
incremental cache to reproduce — stale cache hides it).
- Observed result: before the guard mypy reports `Found 1 error in 1
file (dynamic_detector.py:786)`; after, 0 errors. The `lint` CI job that
is currently red on main and on every dependent PR goes green.
- Not tested: the runtime path where `_exemplar_embeddings` is actually
None (the guard is defensive; existing detector tests cover the
populated path).

## Screenshots (if applicable)

N/A — type/CI fix with no UI surface. See **Test Output** above.

## Additional Notes

- This is broken-main, not introduced by any single PR: `origin/main`
has the identical line 786, and main's own CI `lint` job is currently
failing. Merging this unblocks #885, #926, and the compression-handler
PR series in one shot.
- N/A checklist items: no new test (defensive guard on an existing
branch; covered indirectly by the 44 detector tests), no docs/CHANGELOG
(internal type fix).

docs(evals): add session probes section to evals README (#888)
## Description

Follow-up to #862. That PR's body described a **Session Probes** section
in `headroom/evals/README.md`, but the file edit missed the commit
(edited in the wrong checkout). This adds the missing 22-line docs-only
section: the record-then-score workflow for `HEADROOM_PROBE_RECORD_DIR`
+ `headroom evals probes`, including the plaintext-recording privacy
note.

Refs #861 (session-probe eval harness — this README section was part of
that feature's spec).

## Type of Change

- [x] Documentation update

## Changes Made

- Add a **Session Probes (real recorded sessions)** section to
`headroom/evals/README.md` (+22 lines, no code change): the two-step
record (`HEADROOM_PROBE_RECORD_DIR=… headroom proxy start`) then score
(`headroom evals probes --recordings …`) workflow, the three probe
dimensions (exact numerics, artifact trail, error evidence), the
retained/recoverable/lost classification, retention bucketing by ratio +
per-transform grouping, and the `--json-output` flag.
- Includes the opt-in privacy note: recordings contain full conversation
content in plaintext and stay on the local machine.

## Testing

- [x] Documentation builds/renders correctly
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [x] New and existing unit tests pass locally with my changes

### Test Output

```text
$ git diff --stat upstream/main..HEAD
 headroom/evals/README.md | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++
 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+)

Docs-only change — no code paths touched. The commands and flags documented
(HEADROOM_PROBE_RECORD_DIR, `headroom evals probes`, --recordings,
--json-output) are the surface shipped and tested in #862.
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: local macOS, repo .venv, Python 3.11.9
- Exact command / steps: rendered the edited `headroom/evals/README.md`
and cross-checked every documented flag/command against the implemented
CLI from #862 (`headroom evals probes`, `HEADROOM_PROBE_RECORD_DIR`,
`--recordings`, `--json-output`)
- Observed result: the new section renders correctly and every
command/flag it names exists in the shipped probe harness; no code paths
are changed by this PR, so behavior is unchanged
- Not tested: nothing additional — docs-only change with no executable
surface of its own

## Review Readiness

- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review

## Additional Notes

Pure documentation backfill for #862; the feature itself (recorder +
retention probes) already merged. PR body updated to satisfy the
PR-governance template gate.

7a05808e0f Add cache optimization module with scalable dynamic content detection
Implements a comprehensive cache optimization layer for LLM providers:

- Provider-specific optimizers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) with distinct
  caching strategies: explicit breakpoints, prefix stabilization, and
  CachedContent API respectively

- Scalable dynamic content detector using three strategies:
  1. Structural detection: "Label: value" patterns (language-agnostic)
  2. Entropy-based detection: high-entropy strings (IDs, tokens, hashes)
  3. Universal patterns: ISO 8601, UUIDs, JWTs, hex hashes

- NO hardcoded locale-specific patterns (no month names, etc.)

- Semantic caching layer with LRU eviction and TTL support

- Plugin registry for provider selection and custom optimizers

- 131 tests, real-world benchmarks showing 20-55% compression at <0.3ms
