## Description
Anthropic request-side CCR can still compress a turn into retrieval
markers after the frozen-prefix cache guard suppresses
`headroom_retrieve` registration. That leaves the model with marker-only
context it cannot redeem, so the proxy silently drops recoverable data
on exactly the turns where cache preservation deferred tool injection.
This change couples the Anthropic request-side CCR path to tool
availability so a turn never emits retrieve-only markers without the
retrieval tool, even when token mode or cache-mode prefix replay could
otherwise reuse already-compressed marker text. Closes#1006
After a collaborator merged current `main` into this branch, CI also
picked up unrelated offline-memory failures from the merged base. Those
follow-up changes are test-only: they keep the offline Hugging Face
cache lanes skipping cleanly instead of failing in memory tests that are
outside the CCR runtime path.
## 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
- Couple Anthropic request-side CCR compression to the same
frozen-prefix guard that already defers `headroom_retrieve`
registration.
- Keep the existing cache-preservation behavior: frozen-prefix turns
stop emitting CCR retrieval markers instead of forcing tool injection
into the cached prefix.
- Make the skip decision use the effective frozen prefix after
token-mode reclamping, so turns that genuinely reclamp to zero still
keep normal reversible CCR behavior.
- Bypass cached marker reuse in both token mode and cache-mode prefix
replay when tool injection is deferred.
- Add focused regressions for the Anthropic request-path seams under
this bug:
- frozen-prefix turns do not emit marker-only payloads
- unfrozen turns still keep normal reversible CCR behavior
- token-mode reclamp back to zero still compresses normally
- existing `headroom_retrieve` tools keep reversible CCR on frozen turns
- cache-mode delta reuse and exact-prefix replay both forward original
content when retrieval is unavailable
- Add a `CHANGELOG.md` entry because the proxy's user-visible Anthropic
CCR behavior changes.
- Add a shared test skip helper for offline Hugging Face cache misses
and apply it to the merged `main` memory tests that were failing only in
the offline CI shards after the branch picked up current `main`.

## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: local FastAPI `TestClient` for the Anthropic request
path, plus Windows Python 3.12 offline-memory repros with
`TRANSFORMERS_OFFLINE=1`
- Exact command / steps: Run the focused CCR regression command and the
offline-memory repro subset below on the merged branch state.
- `uv run pytest
tests/test_proxy/test_anthropic_ccr_deferred_injection.py`
- `uv run pytest tests/test_memory/test_skip_helpers.py
tests/test_memory/test_embedder_mps_serialization.py::test_cpu_uses_shared_executor

-q`
- Scenario coverage from the CCR pytest command:
- frozen prefix with deferred tool injection and cached marker text
available in token mode
- unfrozen turn with normal CCR marker emission
- token mode where the tracked frozen prefix reclamps back to zero
- frozen prefix where the client already supplied `headroom_retrieve`
- cache-mode append-only delta reuse with a previously forwarded
compressed prefix
- cache-mode exact-prefix replay where the previous forwarded prefix
already contained a marker
- Scenario coverage from the offline-memory repro command:
- direct local embedder startup on CPU with no cached HF model
- hierarchical memory embedder startup with offline model cache missing
- bridge import through `LocalBackend`
- `MemoryHandler` public init warmup path
- `LocalBackend` save path under the offline lane
- Observed result: The CCR regression keeps marker-free forwarding on
frozen turns without tool availability, and the merged-`main`
offline-memory lanes now skip cleanly instead of failing unrelated CI
shards.
- frozen-prefix Anthropic turns without tool availability forward the
original long transcript across both token-mode and cache-mode reuse
paths, while unfrozen turns, reclamped token-mode turns, and frozen
turns that already advertise `headroom_retrieve` keep the reversible CCR
marker path
- the merged-`main` offline-memory regressions now skip cleanly when the
Hugging Face cache is unavailable instead of failing unrelated CI shards
- Not tested: live Zed session cache-hit behavior, provider latency
under real Anthropic upstreams, and online Hugging Face download lanes

## Additional Notes
- Runtime scope is still intentionally narrow to Anthropic request-side
CCR. OpenAI, Gemini, streaming, and response-side CCR behavior are
unchanged.
- The only non-CCR diff is the test-only offline-memory follow-up
required after current `main` was merged into the branch.
- The focused proxy pytest run still emits the Windows-local
`StarletteDeprecationWarning` from `fastapi.testclient`'s `httpx`
bridge. The offline-memory repro command also emits existing datetime
deprecation warnings and a pytest teardown warning around skipped
offline lanes; none of those warnings were introduced by the CCR runtime
change.
Use pytest hook to catch httpx.ReadTimeout and skip tests instead of
failing. This handles flaky network timeouts from HuggingFace Hub
during sentence-transformers model downloads in CI.
The hook covers all tests in tests/test_memory/ directory.
