## What
Enrich the `transforms_applied` tags emitted by `ReadLifecycleManager`
and `SmartCrusher` so each tag carries the specific target it acted on,
instead of being an opaque counter:
- `read_lifecycle:<state>` -> `read_lifecycle:<state>:<file_path>`
- `smart_crush:<n>` -> `smart_crush:<n>:<tool1,tool2,...>` (tool names
resolved from the assistant's `tool_calls` / `tool_use` metadata; falls
back to `smart_crush:<n>` when no name resolves)
Downstream UIs can then show *what* a compression acted on (which file
was a stale read, which tools had their output crushed), not just that
it happened.
## Note on the rebase
The original revision targeted `ToolCrusher` / `tool_crush:<n>`. That
transform has since been retired and replaced by the Rust-backed
`SmartCrusher` (which emits `smart_crush:<n>`), so the tool-name
attribution moved to `smart_crusher.py`. The `read_lifecycle` half is
unchanged.
## Response-header compatibility
`x-headroom-transforms` is built as `",".join(transforms_applied)`. A
tag containing a comma (tool-name lists; file paths) would make that
header ambiguous to split back into tags. To keep the header backward
compatible, `header_safe_transforms` (`headroom/proxy/cost.py`)
collapses the enriched tags back to their legacy counter shape **for the
header only** -- the full enriched detail still flows through the
structured `transforms_applied` list (dashboards, request logs, activity
feed). Applied at all three header sites (openai / anthropic / gemini
handlers).
Paths containing `:` survive in `transforms_applied` because consumers
bound their split to 3 parts.
## Tests
- `tests/test_transforms/test_read_lifecycle.py` -- OpenAI + Anthropic
tag shape, colon-in-path preservation
- `tests/test_transforms/test_smart_crusher_attribution.py` -- OpenAI +
Anthropic tool-name resolution, dedup, no-name fallback, id/name-missing
skips
- `tests/test_proxy/test_header_safe_transforms.py` -- header
normalization keeps the joined header unambiguous (incl. comma-in-path)
