## Description
<!-- Briefly explain the change and why it is needed. -->
The metrics docs describe the `headroom_*` Prometheus metric family and
suggest example Grafana panels, but ship no importable dashboard — users
have to build one by hand. This adds a ready-to-import Grafana dashboard
built **only** on documented metric names (`headroom_requests_total`,
`headroom_tokens_saved_total`, `headroom_tokens_input_total`, and the
`headroom_overhead_ms_*` millisecond summary), and links it from the
**Grafana Dashboard** section of `docs/content/docs/metrics.mdx`.
This is a docs/examples-only addition — no source code changes.
Closes #
## Type of Change
- [ ] 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)
- [x] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
- Added `examples/grafana/headroom-dashboard.json` — a ready-to-import
Grafana dashboard (7 panels, uid `headroom-compression`) built entirely
on Headroom's documented `/metrics` names. Panels cover tokens saved,
input tokens, request rate, average processing overhead
(`headroom_overhead_ms_sum` / `headroom_overhead_ms_count` with
min/max), tokens-saved/sec, and request rate by pool. It uses **no
histograms** (the proxy emits none). The `pool`/`source` template
variables use regex matchers (`=~`) so they are optional and match
series without those labels.
- Updated `docs/content/docs/metrics.mdx` — linked the new dashboard
from the **Grafana Dashboard** section with import instructions, keeping
the existing ad-hoc PromQL query table alongside it.
## Testing
<!-- Check what you actually ran, then paste the real command output
below. -->
- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [ ] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [ ] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed
Docs/examples-only change, manually verified: the dashboard JSON is
well-formed and every PromQL query references only the documented
`headroom_*` metric names from `docs/content/docs/metrics.mdx`.
### Test Output
```text
$ python3 -c "import json; d=json.load(open('examples/grafana/headroom-dashboard.json')); print('valid JSON,', len(d['panels']), 'panels, uid', d['uid'])"
valid JSON, 7 panels, uid headroom-compression
```
PromQL queries used by the panels (all against documented `headroom_*`
metrics):
```text
sum(headroom_tokens_saved_total{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"})
sum(headroom_tokens_input_total{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"})
sum(rate(headroom_requests_total{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"}[$__rate_interval]))
sum(rate(headroom_overhead_ms_sum{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"}[$__rate_interval])) / clamp_min(sum(rate(headroom_overhead_ms_count{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"}[$__rate_interval])), 1)
sum(rate(headroom_tokens_saved_total{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"}[$__rate_interval])) by (pool)
max(headroom_overhead_ms_max{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"})
min(headroom_overhead_ms_min{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"})
sum(rate(headroom_requests_total{pool=~"$pool", hook=~"$hook"}[$__rate_interval])) by (pool)
```
## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: local checkout of the PR branch; Python 3 for JSON
validation.
- Exact command / steps: ran the JSON-validation command above (see Test
Output) — parses cleanly, reports 7 panels and uid
`headroom-compression`; then read every panel target and confirmed each
PromQL query references only metric names documented in
`docs/content/docs/metrics.mdx` (`headroom_requests_total`,
`headroom_tokens_saved_total`, `headroom_tokens_input_total`,
`headroom_overhead_ms_{sum,count,min,max}`). No histogram metrics are
referenced.
- Observed result: JSON is valid and importable via Grafana's
**Dashboards → New → Import → Upload**; no datasource UID is hard-coded,
so the importer prompts for a Prometheus datasource. Queries match the
documented metric family.
- Not tested: a full live Grafana import against a running proxy
scraping real `/metrics` was not performed in CI. Verification was
limited to JSON validity and query/metric-name correctness against the
documented metrics.
## Review Readiness
- [x] I have performed a self-review
- [x] This PR is ready for human review
Additive docs/examples only — no source code, tests, or runtime behavior
changed.

## Screenshots (if applicable)
N/A — dashboard is imported from JSON; see the PromQL and panel list
above.
## Additional Notes
<!-- Mention any N/A checklist items, tradeoffs, follow-ups, or
maintainer context. -->
Test-related checklist items are N/A: this is an additive docs/examples
change with no application code, so `pytest`/`mypy`/`ruff` and new unit
tests do not apply. The dashboard JSON was validated and its queries
checked against the documented metric names instead.

## Description
Sync the docs with the code after the live-zone realignment. The
`IntelligentContextManager` (ICM), `RollingWindow`, and scoring modules
were deleted in PR #350 (May 2026), but the README and benchmark
docstrings still advertised them as live, and an example still imported
the deleted module (broken on run). This fixes the README + benchmarks
and removes the dead example.
I validated the README against the code with three parallel
static-analysis sub-agents (features/architecture,
CLI/extras/wrap-matrix, public API/integrations). Most of the README
checked out accurate; only the items below were stale/wrong.

## Type of Change
- [ ] 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)
- [x] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
- README: removed the `IntelligentContext` bullet and
`IntelligentContext / RollingWindow` from the transforms list (both
deleted in PR #350).
- README: standardized `Kompress-base` -> `Kompress-v2-base` to match
the HF model id `chopratejas/kompress-v2-base` and the existing badges
(diagram re-aligned).
- README: corrected the CodeCompressor language list to match the
`CodeLanguage` enum (added TS, C, Perl).
- README: softened the unanchored "6 algorithms" tagline to
"content-aware compressors".
- README: Cortex Code is library-mode only — there is no `headroom wrap
cortex`, so the compatibility-matrix row no longer shows a wrap
checkmark.
- Deleted `examples/test_intelligent_context_toin_ccr.py` — it imported
the deleted `IntelligentContextManager` (ImportError on run) and is
unreferenced.
- Removed stale `RollingWindow` mentions from benchmark
docstrings/comments (`benchmarks/__init__.py`, `bench_transforms.py`,
`bench_latency.py`, `scenarios/conversations.py`); the accurate PR-B1
retirement comment is kept.
## Testing
- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`) — N/A, docs/docstring + example
deletion only
- [x] Linting passes — `ruff check` clean on all changed benchmark files
- [ ] Type checking passes — N/A (no type-relevant changes)
- [ ] New tests added — N/A
- [x] Manual testing performed — see Real Behavior Proof
### Test Output
```text
$ ruff check benchmarks/__init__.py benchmarks/bench_transforms.py benchmarks/bench_latency.py benchmarks/scenarios/conversations.py
All checks passed!
# stale refs remaining in README/benchmarks (excluding accurate retirement notes):
$ grep -rn "IntelligentContext|RollingWindow|Kompress-base" README.md benchmarks/ | grep -v retire
(only benchmarks/bench_transforms.py:362 — the accurate PR-B1 retirement comment)
# deleted example is unreferenced anywhere:
$ grep -rn "test_intelligent_context_toin_ccr" --include=*.md --include=*.yml --include=*.py .
(no hits)
```
## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: macOS (darwin, arm64), Python 3.12 `.venv`, ruff 0.14.x,
repo at branch `docs/sync-readme-with-code` off latest `main`.
- Exact command / steps: (1) three parallel sub-agents
grep/Read-validated README claims vs `headroom/`, `pyproject.toml`,
`sdk/typescript/`; (2) directly verified each flagged mismatch
(`CodeLanguage` enum, `HF_MODEL_ID`, absence of
`IntelligentContext`/`RollingWindow` classes); (3) confirmed the example
imports a deleted module and is unreferenced; (4) `ruff check` on
changed benchmark files; (5) re-grepped README + benchmarks for any
remaining stale refs.
- Observed result: README and benchmark docstrings now match the code;
the only surviving `RollingWindow` string is the accurate retirement
comment; the broken example is removed; ruff passes; the ASCII
architecture diagram still aligns after the `Kompress-v2-base` rename.
- Not tested: rendering of the README on GitHub/PyPI (text-only change);
the separate `docs/content/` and `wiki/` doc sets (see Additional Notes
— out of scope for this PR).

## Additional Notes
**Larger related finding (NOT in this PR):** the published docs site
(`docs/content/docs/*.mdx`) and the `wiki/*.md` set still document
`IntelligentContextManager`, `RollingWindow`, `RollingWindowConfig`,
`IntelligentContextConfig`, and `ScoringWeights` as live API — with
`from headroom import RollingWindow` / `from headroom.transforms import
IntelligentContextManager` code examples that would `ImportError`. It is
half-migrated (a couple of `.mdx` files already note "removed in 0.9.x"
while neighbors still teach it as current). This is ~15 files and the
fixes require rewriting examples to the live-zone model, not just
deletions — recommended as a focused follow-up PR rather than bundling
it here.
## Description
Repo hygiene for a public OSS project: removes committed `node_modules`,
stray/internal/draft markdown, and commercial-surface references —
keeping every real doc (the published docs site, the wiki guides, and
all component READMEs) intact. Every file was content-audited before
removal, and load-bearing files were verified against the code/CI and
kept.
Net: **1,695 files changed, +23 / −266,409** (the deletions are
dominated by a committed `node_modules` tree).

- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [x] Documentation update
- [x] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
**Removed (verified to have no code/CI dependencies):**
- `examples/vercel-ai-sdk-pr/` — 1,649 committed `node_modules` files
(zero example source); `node_modules/` added to `.gitignore`.
- `docs/spec/` (23 draft "Living Specification" files — orphaned,
`1.0.0-draft`, drifted from the code), `docs/superpowers/` (2 agent
plans), `docs/proposals/` (2 internal/commercial memos).
- 6 orphan `docs/*.md` (auth-modes, bedrock,
claude-code-vertex-headroom, cortex-code, output-token-reduction-guide,
rtk-loop-weighting).
- `PR.md` (committed PR draft), `ENTERPRISE.md`, `.github/FUNDING.yml`.
**Content scrubs:**
- Removed unreleased "Headroom Cloud" / `api.headroom.ai` / `hr_`
references from `configuration.mdx`, `wiki/configuration.md`,
`wiki/typescript-sdk.md`, `sdk/typescript/README.md` (reworded to
neutral, accurate phrasing).
- Dropped a stale "awaiting maintainer before merge" line from
`plugins/headroom-oauth2/SPEC.md`; tidied `.gitignore` comments (kept
the protective `headroom-managed/` ignore rule).
- Fixed the now-dangling links into removed files (README
nav/`output-token-reduction` link, `scripts/README`, `wiki/vertex`).
**Explicitly KEPT (load-bearing — would orphan in-code citations if
removed):**
- `.changelog.md` — consumed by `.github/workflows/release.yml` (read as
the release-notes file).
- `REALIGNMENT/`, `docs/observability.md`, `docs/rtk-architecture.md`,
`wiki/plans/`, `TESTING-copilot-subscription.md` — referenced by the
Rust core / Python / tests as design docs.
## Testing
- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [x] Linting passes (`ruff check`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed
### Test Output
```text
# Docs/markdown + .gitignore only — no Python/Rust source changed, so the
# behavioral test suite is unaffected. Verified the cleanup did not orphan
# references or break the published docs site:
$ git ls-files 'docs/content/docs/*.mdx' | wc -l # published site intact
42
$ # meta.json nav unchanged; no published page removed.
$ grep -rnI "Headroom Cloud|api.headroom.ai|'hr_" $(git ls-files '*.md' '*.mdx')
>>> none
$ # dangling refs to removed files (excl pre-existing P0/P2 spec stubs that
$ # never existed in git): none remaining.
```
## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: macOS, local git clone of the repo (markdown/.gitignore
changes only — no runtime).
- Exact command / steps: 4 read-only content-audit agents classified
every `.md`/`.mdx` file; each removal candidate was cross-checked
against the codebase (`grep` for citations in `.rs`/`.py`/tests,
workflows, and configs); only files with no dependents were removed; the
tree was re-grepped after removal to confirm no new dangling references;
verified the published docs site page count (`git ls-files
'docs/content/docs/*.mdx' | wc -l` = 42, unchanged).
- Observed result: the 42-page published docs site and all wiki guides
are untouched; no source or workflow references a removed file;
`.changelog.md` (consumed by release.yml) and the code-cited design docs
were detected as dependencies and kept; the committed `node_modules`
tree is removed and `node_modules/` is gitignored so it can't be
re-committed; zero "Headroom Cloud"/`headroom.dev` references remain.
- Not tested: N/A — no executable code changed (only markdown, `.mdx`,
and `.gitignore`), so the behavioral test suite is unaffected.

## Additional Notes
- This branch deletes `.github/FUNDING.yml` while PR #1526 edits it —
the two will be sequenced at merge (delete wins).
- A follow-up option (not in this PR): also remove the internal design
docs that are currently cited by the code (`REALIGNMENT/`,
`docs/observability.md`, `docs/rtk-architecture.md`, `wiki/plans/`) —
that requires scrubbing ~15–20 in-code citations so nothing dangles, so
it's deliberately deferred.
- Untracked local working files (`benchmarks/hf_pilot/`,
`tools/copilot-test/`) are intentionally left out of git (not
committed).
## Description
Adds a content-type-aware path for **tabular data** — CSV/TSV, markdown
tables, fixed-width text, and binary `.xlsx`/`.xls` spreadsheets — by
routing them through the existing, battle-tested `SmartCrusher` instead
of letting them fall through to `PLAIN_TEXT → Kompress`.
The pipeline already compressed tables losslessly when handed a JSON
array of records. This wires up the missing front door: detect tabular
text (and ingest binary spreadsheets), convert to JSON records, and
reuse `SmartCrusher.crush()`. No new compression algorithm.
Closes #
## Type of Change
- [ ] 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
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)
## Changes Made
- **Detection** (`content_detector.py`): new `ContentType.TABULAR` +
`_try_detect_tabular()` for CSV/TSV, markdown tables, and fixed-width
columns. Ordered after search/log (which also look "delimited") and
before code, with a prose-rejection guard so it never steals
`file:line:content` search output, `key: value` logs, or sentences with
incidental commas. Rust backend returns `plain_text` for unknown types
and the router already falls back to the Python detector, so **no Rust
change**.
- **Bridge** (`tabular_ingest.py`): stdlib parsers + `to_records()` + a
`TabularCompressor` that parses → JSON records → `SmartCrusher`
(lossless `csv-schema` first; lossy row-drop with reversible
`<<ccr:HASH>>` markers stays SmartCrusher's built-in fallback). Only
adopts a result when it actually saves bytes.
- **Spreadsheets** (`spreadsheet_ingest.py`): `.xlsx`/`.xls` → per-sheet
CSV text at the SDK boundary. Optional deps (`pip install
headroom-ai[spreadsheet]`) fail loudly with an install hint, never
silently degrade.
- **Routing** (`content_router.py`): `CompressionStrategy.TABULAR`,
`enable_tabular_compressor` flag, lazy getter, apply branch, strategy
maps, Kompress fallback eligibility.
- **SDK** (`compress.py`): `compress_spreadsheet(path, ...)` helper (one
message per sheet).
- **Packaging** (`pyproject.toml`): new `[spreadsheet]` extra;
`openpyxl` added to `[dev]` so the xlsx path is exercised in CI.
- **Docs/demo**: `examples/tabular_compression_demo.py` + README entry.
### Design note: lossless-only
Compact, all-unique tables with no query yield ~0 savings — this is
correct, not a bug. SmartCrusher returns
`skip:unique_entities_no_signal` and won't drop unique rows without a
duplicate/relevance signal. Real wins come from verbose/redundant tables
and query-driven selection. A pressure-driven lossy row sampler was
considered and intentionally not added.
## 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

`spreadsheet_ingest` 100% / `tabular_ingest` 90% line coverage.
## Real Behavior Proof
- **Environment:** local checkout of `feat/tabular-compression`, Python
3.x, `pip install -e ".[dev]"`.
- **Exact command / steps:** `python
examples/tabular_compression_demo.py` (no API key required).
- **Observed result:**
```text
=== Raw tabular text (ContentRouter, char-level) ===
compact unique CSV strat=tabular chars 1306 -> 1072 ( 17.9% saved)
redundant CSV strat=tabular chars 2661 -> 1350 ( 49.3% saved)
verbose markdown strat=tabular chars 2019 -> 1580 ( 21.7% saved)
=== Full pipeline (real tokenizer) ===
redundant CSV tokens 768 -> 394 ( 48.7% saved)
=== Binary spreadsheet (.xlsx) ===
2-sheet workbook tokens 1092 -> 683 ( 37.5% saved)
```
- **Not tested:** legacy `.xls` binary path (needs optional `xlrd` +
binary fixture; `# pragma: no cover`); base64-embedded `.xlsx` inside
multimodal blocks (out of scope, noted as a follow-up).

- Follow-up (out of scope): base64-embedded `.xlsx` inside
tool-result/multimodal blocks; porting tabular parsers into the Rust
core for parity.

## Description
The macOS LaunchAgent example README links to
`../../../docs/macos-deployment.md`, but that file does not exist — the
guide lives at `wiki/macos-deployment.md`. This fixes the broken link
(path and text) so "complete documentation" resolves.

## Changes Made
- `examples/deployment/macos-launchagent/README.md`: link target
`../../../docs/macos-deployment.md` →
`../../../wiki/macos-deployment.md`, and the link text
`docs/macos-deployment.md` → `wiki/macos-deployment.md`.
## Testing
<!-- Check what you actually ran, then paste the real command output

```
## Real Behavior Proof
- Environment: local clone at `origin/main`; documentation-only change.
- Exact command / steps: ran a relative-link checker across all
Markdown/MDX, which flagged
`examples/deployment/macos-launchagent/README.md:168` as the only broken
internal link; confirmed the guide is at `wiki/macos-deployment.md`;
repointed the link there.
- Observed result: the new relative path
`../../../wiki/macos-deployment.md` resolves to the existing macOS
Deployment Guide (which itself documents this exact LaunchAgent setup).
- Not tested: N/A — single-line Markdown link fix; no code, build, or
runtime behavior involved.

## Additional Notes
Documentation-only change, so `pytest`/`ruff`/`mypy` over the `headroom`
package are N/A — the diff contains no Python source. The target guide
(`wiki/macos-deployment.md`) covers the same LaunchAgent deployment this
example sets up, so it is the correct destination for "complete
documentation".
Audit all .md files against codebase; fix wrong names, remove phantom
variables, and correct outdated values:
- HEADROOM_PROXY_PORT → HEADROOM_PORT (proxy.py envvar="HEADROOM_PORT")
- HEADROOM_BIND → HEADROOM_HOST + HEADROOM_PORT (RUST_DEV.md)
- HEADROOM_LEARN_{CLAUDE,CODEX,GEMINI}_ENABLED → HEADROOM_LEARN_CLI
(only HEADROOM_LEARN_CLI exists in learn/analyzer.py)
- HEADROOM_TRACING_ENABLED → HEADROOM_LANGFUSE_ENABLED=1 with correct
LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY/SECRET_KEY vars (tracing.py)
- HEADROOM_LOG_LEVEL/LOG_FORMAT → --log-level CLI flag / RUST_LOG
(no HEADROOM_LOG_LEVEL var exists in code)
- HEADROOM_LOG_LEVEL/HEADROOM_STORE_URL/HEADROOM_DEFAULT_MODE rows
removed from wiki/configuration.md (all phantom)
- HEADROOM_SUMMARY_{ENABLED,THRESHOLD,RATIO} noted as not yet
implemented (no code exists)
- HEADROOM_DB_URL/HEADROOM_CACHE_BACKEND → explanatory notes pointing
to HEADROOM_WORKSPACE_DIR (no external DB support in code)
- HEADROOM_DB_PATH/HEADROOM_CACHE_PATH table rows replaced with actual
HEADROOM_WORKSPACE_DIR/CONFIG_DIR (paths.py)
Three logically-related sets of proxy changes ship in this branch:
1. Strands integration on the Bedrock path (HeadroomBundle + 4 OpenAI
handler fixes + LiteLLM cache stats + dep pin)
2. /stats MCP aggregation (cross-process events log → proxy summary)
3. Codex compression-failure fail-closed (WS + HTTP /v1/responses)
== 1. Strands integration on the Bedrock path ==
* HeadroomBundle (headroom/integrations/strands/bundle.py): single-helper
MCP wiring for a Strands Agent — Headroom MCP server (headroom_compress
/ headroom_retrieve / headroom_stats) plus optional Serena MCP and
optional in-process compression hook. Constructor builds unstarted
MCPClient instances per server; Strands' Agent owns the subprocess
lifecycle. Default config: MCP enabled, Serena enabled, hook OFF
(proxy is the single source of truth for compression). User-side
integration is two lines in any Strands app.
* headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py — backend path now:
- calls PrefixCacheTracker.update_from_response (was direct-OpenAI only)
- intercepts CCR headroom_retrieve tool_calls server-side, mirroring
the Anthropic handler pattern; NO silent fallback, re-raises on
CCR errors (per feedback_no_silent_fallbacks)
- works for both non-streaming and streaming paths
* headroom/proxy/handlers/streaming.py: _stream_openai_via_backend now
accepts prefix_tracker + optimized_messages, parses cache stats from
the SSE final-usage frame (cache_creation_input_tokens added to the
state machine), records CCR retrieve feedback via a new
_record_ccr_feedback_from_openai_sse helper. Streaming CCR intercept
is intentionally out of scope (mirrors Anthropic streaming behaviour).
* headroom/backends/litellm.py: send_openai_message response usage block
now carries cache_read_input_tokens / cache_creation_input_tokens
(Anthropic/Bedrock dialect) and prompt_tokens_details.cached_tokens
(OpenAI dialect). Backwards-compatible — cold-start callers see the
same 3-key shape; cache keys appear only when the underlying provider
returns them. Pinned by test_no_cache_fields_means_no_cache_keys.
* headroom/proxy/auth_mode.py: ("strands-agents/", "strands") added to
CLIENT_UA_MAP. Production callers should also set X-Client: strands
since the default openai-python UA carries no Strands signal.
* pyproject.toml: huggingface-hub>=1.5.0,<2.0 pinned in [ml] so a sibling
install (e.g. strands-agents) can't drag the version below the floor
transformers 5.x requires (otherwise Kompress silently goes
"unavailable").
== 2. /stats MCP aggregation ==
* headroom/proxy/cost.py: _aggregate_mcp_events() reads the cross-process
shared events file the Headroom MCP server already writes to and
surfaces summary.mcp with three new keys:
- compressions (count of headroom_compress invocations)
- tokens_removed (sum of input - output across those)
- retrievals (count of headroom_retrieve — the load-bearing
over-compression alarm; if it grows linearly
with turn count, lossy compressors are
dropping info the model actually needs)
Defensive on every axis — missing MCP SDK, missing file, malformed
events, read errors — never blocks /stats.
* examples/strands_bundle_demo.py: stats panel prints the new fields so
the demo shows the full proxy-HTTP + MCP-tool story in one view.
== 3. Codex compression-failure fail-closed protection ==
Reported by Camille (2026-05-21): Codex threads were locking with
"ran out of room in the model's context window" after Headroom's
compression timed out on an oversized response.create frame and
forwarded the original ~1.7 MB frame to the upstream, which then
rejected it. Codex's auto-compact heuristic gates on the upstream-
reported total_usage_tokens (which Headroom had been shrinking on
earlier turns), so its compaction never fired and the thread locked.
Validated against open Codex issues (CLI + Desktop share codex-rs/core):
* #16068 — confirms compaction gates on total_usage_tokens,
estimated_token_count is computed but only logged
* #19806 — confirms image token estimator unbounded, contributes to
the same ContextManager.get_total_token_usage → auto-compaction chain
* headroom/proxy/helpers.py: decide_compression_failure_action() with a
unit-tested decision matrix:
- asyncio.TimeoutError → refuse, always
- non-timeout failure + frame > 256 KiB (configurable) → refuse
- non-timeout failure + small frame → forward (legacy)
Operator escape hatches:
- HEADROOM_WS_FAIL_OPEN_ON_COMPRESSION_FAILURE=1 restores legacy
- HEADROOM_WS_COMPRESSION_FAIL_THRESHOLD_BYTES tunes the threshold
* headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py (WS /v1/responses): consults the
helper after compression failure. On refuse: close client websocket
code 1009 with "headroom: compression <reason> — please compact
context and retry" reason; set termination_cause for the outer
lifecycle finally; return.
* headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py (HTTP /v1/responses): same helper.
On refuse: raise HTTPException(413) with a structured error body so
FastAPI's HTTPException handler emits a clean 413. The existing
`except HTTPException: raise` guard in this handler already ensures
the 413 propagates without being swallowed by the 502 catch-all.
Anthropic /v1/messages NOT changed in this branch: no equivalent bug
report on Anthropic-protocol clients, Claude Code (Anthropic-owned)
handles context overflow via its own cache_control/ephemeral
primitives, and Cursor/Aider don't maintain the local-Y estimate the
Codex bug requires. Deferred until a real report lands; the patch is
a one-liner reusing the same helper.
== Tests + verification ==
* tests/test_backends/test_litellm_cache_stats.py — 3 tests pinning
cache-stat surfacing across Anthropic/OpenAI dialects + backwards-
compat for no-cache responses.
* tests/test_proxy/test_openai_backend_path.py — 5 tests (Bedrock cache
fields, OpenAI fallback shape, CCR intercept with provider="openai",
CCR re-raise on exception, streaming signature contract).
* tests/test_proxy/test_mcp_stats_aggregation.py — 5 tests pinning the
aggregator across compress+retrieve mixes, empty events, unknown event
types, missing token fields, and read failures.
* tests/test_proxy/test_compression_failure_action.py — 12 tests pinning
the fail-closed decision matrix (timeout always refuses, small
transient passes through, oversize refuses, env override variants,
custom threshold, invalid threshold falls back, 0/negative ignored).
* examples/strands_bedrock_demo.py — model_id bumped from deprecated
Claude 3 Haiku to Sonnet 4.5 (the deprecated model now errors on
account access).
* examples/strands_via_proxy_demo.py — proxy + Bedrock cache + streaming
smoke test.
* examples/strands_mcp_dispatch_test.py — pure MCP round-trip probe.
* examples/strands_bundle_demo.py — full Strands + HeadroomBundle E2E
demo (this is the shape a real Strands user copies into their app).
Full pytest: 5327 passed, 178 skipped. The previously-failing
test_core_operations.py::TestAddBatch::test_add_batch_basic passes now
that the huggingface-hub pin in pyproject.toml unblocks transformers
imports.
E2E verified live against AWS Bedrock (Sonnet 4.5):
* cache_write=10,438 on turn A → cache_read=10,438 on turn B
* streaming SSE final usage frame carries cache_read_input_tokens
* 78.7% reduction on a 50 KB JSON tool_result via SmartCrusher (
dispatched per-content-type by ContentRouter)
* Strands Agent + HeadroomBundle: model autonomously called
headroom_compress + headroom_retrieve via MCP; CompressionStore
round-trip succeeded; final answer correct.
Cache stats:
- hit_rate is now token-level (cache_read / total_input) not request-level
- Track uncached_input_tokens per provider in metrics
- Preserve request_hit_rate as secondary metric
Compression-vs-cache:
- Detect when compression busts the prefix cache (expected_cached - actual_read)
- Two simple session-level numbers: tokens_saved vs cache_bust_tokens
- Log CACHE-BUST per request, aggregate in /stats and telemetry beacon
- Single new column in proxy_telemetry_v2: cache_bust_tokens
Dashboard infra:
- SQL for dashboard_summary table + pg_cron hourly refresh
- Hourly + daily aggregation from proxy_telemetry_v2
- Upgrade scripts for adding hourly_stats and cache bust columns
07-context-compression.ipynb: Context Compression technique using Headroom.
Same RAG setup as notebooks 01-06 (Lilian Weng blog posts, Claude Sonnet,
OpenAI embeddings). Replaces GPT-4o-mini pruning/summarization with local
Headroom compress() — zero extra LLM calls, zero cost.
Ready to fork and PR to https://github.com/langchain-ai/how_to_fix_your_context
Previous chunks were too dense (400 chars, no filler). Real blog post
retrieval returns verbose explanatory text (~1000 chars per chunk).
Kompress now compresses 31-47% within each item.
Demo results: 4424 → 2756 tokens (38% savings), all 12 items kept,
6/6 key concepts preserved, zero extra LLM calls.

ROOT CAUSE: compress() did not extract the user's question from messages.
The pipeline received empty context, so SmartCrusher selected items by
statistics only (position, anomaly, boundary) — keeping irrelevant chunks
and dropping relevant ones.
FIX: _extract_user_query() in compress.py finds the most recent user
message and passes it as `context` kwarg through the pipeline. SmartCrusher's
RelevanceScorer now receives the actual query and scores items by relevance.
Before: 12 RAG chunks → kept hallucination/video (0/6 key terms)
After: 12 RAG chunks → kept reward hacking content (3/4 key terms)
Also adds:
- examples/context_compression_demo.py — real compression demo for OSS PR
- examples/test_ccr.py — content preservation verification

The plist template was using ${HEADROOM_PROXY_PORT} in ProgramArguments,
but LaunchAgent doesn't expand environment variables in that context.
Changed to use __PORT__ placeholder which install.sh replaces via sed.
This fixes the "invalid int value" error when starting the proxy service.

Previously, HeadroomAgnoModel called wrapped_model.response() which ran the
tool execution loop internally. This meant tool outputs (often 60k+ chars)
were never optimized - only the initial messages were compressed.
The fix delegates response() to the inherited Model.response(), which calls
self.invoke() for each API call. Our invoke() override optimizes messages
before delegating to wrapped_model.invoke(), ensuring tool outputs are
compressed on every API request.
Results from multi_tool_agent_test.py with Claude Sonnet:
- Tokens before optimization: 25,713
- Tokens after optimization: 6,100
- Tokens saved: 19,613 (76.3%)
- Both baseline and optimized found all critical information
Also adds:
- multi_tool_agent_test.py: Real function calling test with 4 tools
- multi_tool_compression_test.py: Direct compression test
- README update with multi-tool agent test results
- Replace marketing claims with actual API test results
- Add needle-in-haystack test: critical error at position 67/100
- Show real JSON compression: 100 entries → 6 entries (93.9% reduction)
- Verified with Claude Sonnet: 87.6% fewer tokens, 4/4 correct answers
- Add example scripts for reproducing the tests
Features:
- with_fast_memory(): Zero-latency inline extraction (Letta-style)
- Memory extracted as part of LLM response, no extra API calls
- Semantic retrieval with local embeddings (sub-50ms)
- with_memory(): Background extraction for non-blocking memory
- SQLite + FTS5 storage with vector similarity search
- Multi-user isolation by user_id
Memory enables temporal compression - extract key facts instead of
carrying full conversation history (4000 tokens → 50 tokens).
Includes:
- Comprehensive test suite (71 new tests)
- Documentation (docs/memory.md)
- Benchmark examples comparing approaches
- E2E test with LLM-as-judge evaluation
- Renamed package from 'headroom' to 'headroom-ai' (PyPI name conflict)
- Fixed numpy/jinja2 imports to be lazy (core install no longer crashes)
- Fixed SQLite default path (now uses temp directory)
- Fixed f-string {tool} crash in proxy server
- Updated README with correct package name and examples
- Added quickstart and troubleshooting docs
