fix: remove rtk and lean-ctx CLI context tools (#2677)
## Description

Removes both third-party CLI context tools — **rtk** and **lean-ctx** —
and with them the context-tool selector itself. Headroom no longer
downloads, installs or configures either one, and there is no
replacement.

The previous pass (#2344) gated only three entry points inside
`headroom/cli/wrap.py`. That left the feature reachable in practice:

| Gap | Effect |
|---|---|
| `scripts/install.sh:1544`, `install.ps1:1681` | Ran `rtk init --global
--auto-patch` from bash/PowerShell, **bypassing the Python gate
entirely** — `curl \| sh` still wrote a Claude Code `PreToolUse` hook
regardless of `HEADROOM_RTK` |
| `wrap.py` `_setup_context_tool_for_agent` | **`wrap openhands` was
broken by default**: `rtk_required=True` met a gate returning `None` →
`SystemExit(1)`. Invisible because all 8 openhands tests patched
`_ensure_rtk_binary` to a fake path |
| `proxy/helpers.py`, `subscription/tracker.py` | Proxy shelled out to
`rtk gain` from `/stats`, the dashboard and `headroom perf`; the tracker
polled it per contribution (`_RTK_WIRING_DEFAULT = "enabled"`) |
| No cleanup path | Nothing removed artifacts an earlier default had
installed, so a machine that once ran the old default kept rtk in the
loop forever (#1669, #1955) |

Also worth noting: the rtk binary download had **no SHA or signature
verification** — only `rtk --version` as a smoke test.

## Type of Change

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

## Changes Made

**Removed** — `headroom/rtk/` and `headroom/lean_ctx/` packages,
`headroom/cli/wrap_rtk_metrics.py`, `_selected_context_tool` /
`_setup_context_tool_for_agent` / `_VALID_CONTEXT_TOOLS`, the `--rtk` /
`--no-rtk` / `--no-project-rtk` / `--keep-rtk` flags across all 18 wrap
subcommands, `HEADROOM_RTK*`, the proxy-side `rtk gain` polling, the
dashboard CLI-filtering panel (rows + all 8 `cliFiltering*` Alpine
getters), `paths.rtk_path()` / `lean_ctx_path()`, the SDK path helpers,
`benchmarks/rtk_loop_learn_eval.py`, and the `headroom/rtk/**` CI path
filters.

**Fails loudly, not silently** — `--context-tool` / `--no-context-tool`
/ `HEADROOM_CONTEXT_TOOL` are kept solely to error out. They live in
shell profiles, aliases and CI jobs, and accepting them as a no-op would
read as Headroom having quietly stopped working. The installers reject
them too, which matters more than it looks: their arg parsers forward
the first unknown flag **and everything after it** to the wrapped tool,
so a leftover `--no-rtk` would have silently swallowed a following
`--port` and then been ignored downstream.

**New `headroom/context_tool_cleanup.py`** — deleting the code cannot
help a machine that already ran the old default, since the hooks,
binaries and injected guidance are durable on disk.
`purge_context_tool_artifacts()` runs once per `wrap`/`unwrap` and
removes the registered hook entries, the generated hook scripts, the
Headroom-managed `~/.local/bin` symlinks, the vendored
`~/.headroom/bin/{rtk,lean-ctx}` binaries, the `lean-ctx` MCP server
entry and the marker-fenced instruction blocks. Deliberately
conservative: idempotent, **skips** a malformed config rather than
overwriting it, and only unlinks a symlink resolving inside Headroom's
own bin dir so a user's own build is untouched. It reports on
**stderr**, because `wrap/unwrap openclaw --prepare-only` emit
machine-readable JSON on stdout as their entire contract. Skipped for
`wrap selfheal` (runs from a SessionStart hook; must not race Claude
Code's writer for `~/.claude.json`) and for `--help`, which must stay
read-only.

**Client-config hardening** (discovered while investigating a "corrupted
Serena settings file" report) — `wrap.py` reset a settings file to `{}`
when an existing file would not parse, then wrote that back. One
hand-edited typo or a transient `EACCES`/`EINTR` on a valid file
destroyed the user's `permissions`, `env` and `hooks`, on **every
`headroom wrap claude`**. It now refuses to write. Separately,
`fsutil.write_text` is now atomic (temp file + `fsync` + `os.replace`),
fixing all 14 non-atomic client-config writes at once; it follows
symlinks rather than replacing them (dotfile managers) and preserves an
existing file's mode.

**Deliberately kept** — `rtk` stays in the wrapper-peel list in
`transforms/content_router.py`. It sits beside `sudo`/`env`/`timeout` as
shell-command grammar, so `rtk cat f` is still classified as a file read
for anyone running their own rtk install, which the purge intentionally
leaves alone.

## 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

Repo-wide grep for 14 removed symbols (`headroom.rtk`,
`headroom.lean_ctx`, `_ensure_rtk_binary`, `_selected_context_tool`,
`_get_context_tool_stats`, `rtk_path`, `lean_ctx_path`,
`wrap_rtk_metrics`, `HEADROOM_RTK`, `cli_tokens_avoided`,
`tokens_saved_rtk`, …) across `*.py`, `*.ts`, `*.sh`, `*.ps1`, `*.yml`,
`*.html`: **zero hits**.

Notable test changes: `test_wrap_openhands.py` no longer patches
`_ensure_rtk_binary` and asserts `wrap openhands --prepare-only` exits 0
unpatched — the regression that was previously masked.
`test_wrap_continue.py` and `test_wrap_hintfile_agents.py` were removed
(every test drove RTK instruction injection). A new
`test_subscription_tracker.py::test_load_state_written_before_cli_context_tools_were_removed`
proves a pre-removal `subscription_state.json` still loads.

## Real Behavior Proof

- **Environment:** macOS 15.4 (darwin 25.4.0), Python 3.12.6, Headroom @
this branch, real `~/.headroom` and `~/.claude` on the dev machine.
- **Exact command / steps and observed result:**

```text
# 1. Retired flag fails loudly instead of silently no-op'ing
$ headroom wrap codex --prepare-only --context-tool rtk
Error: CLI context tools (rtk, lean-ctx) have been removed from Headroom: they
rewrote shell commands through a third-party binary Headroom no longer manages.
Drop --context-tool / --no-context-tool and unset HEADROOM_CONTEXT_TOOL;
`headroom wrap` uninstalls what they left behind on first run.

$ HEADROOM_CONTEXT_TOOL=lean-ctx headroom wrap codex --prepare-only
Error: CLI context tools (rtk, lean-ctx) have been removed from Headroom: ...

# 2. install.sh rejects the retired flags (extracted parse_wrap_args harness)
['--no-rtk', '--port', '9999']   rc=1  ERROR: CLI context tools ... Drop --no-rtk
['--context-tool=rtk']           rc=1  ERROR: CLI context tools ... Drop --context-tool
$ bash -n scripts/install.sh   # syntax OK

# 3. Purge ran against the real machine, which had all the orphaned artifacts
$ python -c "from headroom.context_tool_cleanup import purge_context_tool_artifacts; ..."
  removed ~/.headroom/bin/lean-ctx        (51 MB)
  removed ~/.headroom/bin/rtk             (7.7 MB)
  removed ~/.local/bin/rtk                (symlink into ~/.headroom/bin)
  removed ~/.claude/hooks/rtk-rewrite.sh
  removed 8 lean-ctx-* hook scripts
# ~/.claude.json afterwards: 90 top-level keys, 19 projects, mcpServers unchanged
# → ~59 MB reclaimed, no unrelated key touched

# 4. stdout stays machine-readable while the purge reports (planted a fake artifact)
$ headroom wrap openclaw --prepare-only --gateway-provider-id codex >out 2>err
$ cat out
{"enabled":true,"config":{"proxyPort":8787,...}}     # parses as JSON
$ cat err
Retired CLI context tool cleanup: removed /Users/tcms/.headroom/bin/rtk

# 5. --help is inert (planted artifact survives), a real run purges
$ headroom wrap codex --help   → artifact survived: CORRECT
$ headroom wrap openclaw --prepare-only → purged: CORRECT

# 6. MCP purge dry-run against a copy of the real 82 KB ~/.claude.json
top-level keys 90 -> 90;  projects 19 -> 19;  LOST keys: none
all content outside mcpServers byte-identical: True
```

Dashboard rendered via the Playwright test after the panel removal:
"Token Savings" shows only `Proxy 0 (0.0%)` / `Of total wire: 36.86%`,
and "Token Usage" reads Before Compression → Proxy Removed → After
Compression with no "Filtered (this session)" row. Nothing below the
removed panel broke.

- **Not tested:** Windows and Linux (macOS only) — `install.ps1` is
verified by brace-balance and inspection, not executed, since no `pwsh`
is available locally. The wrap e2e suite (`e2e/wrap/run.py`) was updated
but not run; it needs the Docker e2e image. `serena project index`
interaction is exercised in the stacked base PR.

## Additional Notes

**Stacked on #2676** (`tejas/serena-config-bootstrap`) — please merge
that first; this PR's base should then be retargeted to `main`, or it
will read as containing that fix too.

**Breaking-change migration for users:**
- Drop `--rtk`, `--no-rtk`, `--no-project-rtk`, `--keep-rtk`,
`--context-tool`, `--no-context-tool` from any alias, script or CI job,
and unset `HEADROOM_RTK*` / `HEADROOM_CONTEXT_TOOL`. They now error
rather than being ignored, so the failure is immediate and
self-explaining.
- Previously-installed artifacts are purged automatically on the next
`wrap`/`unwrap`; no manual cleanup needed.
- `headroom perf --json` no longer carries a `cli_filtering` key, and
`/stats` no longer returns a `context_tool` section.

**Docs:** `docs/rtk-architecture.md` deleted; RTK/lean-ctx removed from
`README.md`,
`docs/content/docs/{configuration,opencode,grok-build,docker-install,filesystem-contract}.mdx`,
`docs/observability.md` and the matching `wiki/` pages.
`REALIGNMENT/09-phase-G-rtk-observability.md` is marked SUPERSEDED
rather than deleted, to keep the planning record.

**Follow-ups not in scope:** `_emit_wrap_interrupted` was deleted as
dead code — its only caller was the `except KeyboardInterrupt` guarding
the binary download, so with no download there is nothing slow left to
interrupt.

[codex] Simulate Codex read maturation risk (#1395)
## Summary
- add Codex support to `audit-reads --codex --simulate-maturation`
- classify Codex edit targets from `apply_patch`, `sed -i`, `tee`, and
shell redirects so maturation risk can count edits
- include focused tests for Codex maturation metrics, CLI JSON/text
output, and edit-risk buckets
- refresh `uv.lock` to match the current `pyproject.toml` version/extras

## Validation
- `uv run ruff check headroom/audit/codex.py
headroom/audit/maturation.py headroom/audit/__init__.py
headroom/cli/audit.py tests/test_audit_codex.py`
- `uv run pytest tests/test_audit_codex.py tests/test_audit_reads.py
tests/test_read_maturation.py
tests/test_read_maturation_handler_nobust.py -q`
- live local run: `uv run headroom audit-reads --codex --path
/home/robert-briscoe/.codex/sessions --simulate-maturation`

feat: compression extraction — Rust knob exposure, CCR hardening, traffic audits (#818)
## Description

A data-driven push for better compression savings without accuracy loss,
in four parts: expose and tune the Rust compressor knobs, harden the CCR
retrieval store, add traffic-audit tooling that sizes opportunities from
real transcripts, and introduce **read maturation** — a new,
live-validated mechanism that compresses Read outputs *before* they ever
enter the provider prefix cache.

## Type of Change

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

## Changes Made

### 1. Rust compressor extraction

- Expose `lossless_min_savings_ratio` end-to-end and lower the default
0.30 → 0.15 (lockstep across Rust, PyO3, and both Python config classes)
so the lossless Table/CSV compaction path wins more often.
- Expose the `CompactConfig` heuristics (core-field fraction,
heterogeneity ratio, flatten cap, bucket bounds) through PyO3 + Python.
- `SearchCompressor` grouped-by-file output (`rg --heading` style — path
once per file instead of per match). Library default off; the proxy
enables it in token mode.
- Complete `factor_out_constants`: constant fields now emit once in a
`_constant_fields` sentinel with slim rows (defensive per-item value
match; default off).
- `ContentRouter` accepts a SmartCrusher config override and the
search-grouping knob.

### 2. CCR store hardening

- Session-scale TTL: 300s → 1800s (CCRConfig, CompressionEntry,
CompressionStore, Rust `DEFAULT_TTL` — lockstep).
- **SQLite is the default CCR backend** (`~/.headroom/ccr_store.db`,
WAL): survives proxy restarts and is shared across workers.
`HEADROOM_CCR_BACKEND=memory` opts out.
- Multi-worker safety: `busy_timeout`, and corruption detection narrowed
so transient `SQLITE_BUSY` errors can never trigger database deletion.
- Data-at-rest hygiene: `chmod 600` on db + sidecars, expired rows swept
at open.
- Retrieval-miss messages are actionable (re-read the file / re-run the
command).

### 3. Traffic audit tooling (measure before tuning)

- `headroom audit-reads`: sizes Read opportunities from local Claude
Code transcripts (read share, stale %, line-number overhead, context
residency, cache-death windows).
- `--simulate-maturation`: Mechanism B risk sizing (re-read rates,
never-touched-again share, quiesce coverage, at-risk edits).
- `--codex`: shell-read classifier for Codex transcripts (rtk-wrapper
aware, workdir resolution).
- Findings that shaped this PR (81 sessions): Reads are 67% of tool
bytes; median Read lingers 118 turns (~13x lifetime cost); a prototyped
repeat-Read dedup measured 0.1% and was **removed** rather than shipped
as dead code.

### 4. Read maturation (Mechanism B) — experimental, default OFF

- Activity-based: a fresh large Read is held **out** of the provider
cache (trailing breakpoint relocated before it), stays verbatim while
its file is active, and matures into a CCR-backed marker once the file
is quiet for `quiesce_turns` (default 5; `max_hold_turns` bounds busy
files).
- Only the final compressed form ever enters the cache — **no cached
byte is ever mutated**; matured markers replay byte-identically.
- Wired into the Anthropic handler behind `--read-maturation` /
`HEADROOM_READ_MATURATION=1`; session state rides on the prefix tracker;
advisory (can never fail a request).
- Live-validated against the Anthropic API: held content excluded from
cache_creation; after maturation the prior cached prefix still served —
the no-bust invariant holds end-to-end.

### 5. Rebase / CI fixups (this update)

- Rebased onto latest `main` (was 28 commits behind): picks up `ci: pass
CODECOV_TOKEN to coverage uploads (#968)`, which is what was turning the
4 test shards red — the tests themselves passed (1528) but the post-test
codecov upload exited non-zero on a protected branch.
- Resolved the duplicate `lossless_min_savings_ratio` that two
independent main/branch additions left in `SmartCrusherConfig` and the
Rust-config kwarg (import-time `SyntaxError` + mypy `no-redef`).
- Aligned CCR tests with the new defaults (SQLite backend, 1800s TTL)
across `test_ccr`, `test_adapter_hooks`, `test_compression_store`,
`test_proxy_ccr`, and the lossy row-drop bridge test.

## Testing

<!-- Check what you actually ran, then paste the real command output
below. -->

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

### Test Output

COMPILE-OK

# CI (run 27488990477, pre-rebase head): all 4 shards ran to completion —
#   "1528 passed, 120 skipped, 4922 deselected"
# The red shards were the codecov upload step, not test failures; fixed by
# the #968 rebase above.
```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: macOS (darwin), Python 3.12 venv; branch
`feat/compression-extraction` rebased onto `origin/main` (head
7cb0f43b); GitHub Actions CI run 27488990477 for the test shards
- Exact command / steps: rebased onto latest main (clean, 13 commits
replayed, 0 conflicts); ran the pytest suites and mypy above locally;
inspected CI shard logs to confirm the failure was the codecov upload,
not the test phase
- Observed result: 253 targeted tests pass locally; mypy clean on 365
files; CI test phase reports `1528 passed, 120 skipped`; the only red
step (codecov `upload-coverage` → "Token required because branch is
protected") is resolved by the rebased-in #968 CODECOV_TOKEN fix
- Not tested: the read-maturation live-API no-bust validation
(`tests/test_live/`) was not re-run in this rebase pass (requires
provider keys); it was validated when the feature first landed, and no
maturation code changed in the rebase — only CCR-default test assertions
and the duplicate-field resolution

## Review Readiness

## Additional Notes

CHANGELOG is generated by release-please from the conventional commits,
so the CHANGELOG box is intentionally left unchecked. "Manual testing
performed" is unchecked deliberately — see `Real Behavior Proof` → `Not
tested` for the exact boundary (the live-API maturation validation was
not re-run in this rebase pass).

### Follow-ups (tracked, not in this PR)

- Mechanism B provider extensions: OpenAI-family wiring (no breakpoint
hold — bounded near-tail bust) and the Codex runtime read-detector (the
audit classifier is the prototype).
- Pilot enablement playbook: run `audit-reads --simulate-maturation` on
target traffic → pick `quiesce_turns` → enable via env → watch cache hit
rate + `read_maturation:N` transform tags.
