fix(proxy): protect file reads from lossy compression on the Responses API path (Copilot view + HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS) (#3238)
## Description

On the OpenAI Responses API path (used by `headroom wrap copilot` and
Codex), fresh file reads were lossy-compressed one turn after
production, so the model saw its own just-read file content garbled
(Kompress word-dropping) and had to re-read it — the exact turn
inflation `HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS` was built to prevent on the
chat/Anthropic path.

Two gaps combined:

1. Copilot CLI's `view` tool (its file-read tool) was not in
`DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_TOOLS` — the set only covered Claude-Code names
(`Read`, `Write`, …).
2. `_compress_openai_responses_live_text_units_with_router`
(`headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py`) protected only excluded tool
*names* and never implemented the `HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS` read-command
detection that `ContentRouter.apply()` has — so `bash` reads like `nl
-ba FILE | sed -n '1,75p'` were lossy-compressed even with the `coding`
profile's `protect_reads=True`.

Fix (design adversarially reviewed with gpt-5.6-sol before
implementation; verdict "correct with modifications" — all modifications
adopted):

- `view` added to **both** `DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_TOOLS` and
`DEFAULT_VERBATIM_EXCLUDE_TOOLS` — byte-exact contract: no lossy
compression, no lossless JSON rewrite, no cross-turn dedup fold.
- Responses units path now ports the read-command guard: the producing
command is normalized from both wire shapes (`function_call.arguments`,
`local_shell_call.action` argv/string) via the shared
`_tool_call_command_text`; each output is content-gated by
`_read_output_should_be_protected` (lockfiles/JSON/logs/search stay
compressible); protected ids are unioned into the dedup protection set.
- Shared `read_protection_enabled()` env helper extracted in
`content_router.py`, used by both paths.
- Latent debug-path defect fixed (unbound `fold` when an excluded tool's
output is a content-part list and debug logging is enabled).

Follow-up (not in scope): Rust Responses path
(`crates/headroom-core/src/transforms/live_zone.rs`) currently only
protects `headroom_retrieve` — needs parity before that runtime becomes
default.

Closes #3237

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

## Changes Made

- `headroom/config.py` — `view` in both exclusion sets.
- `headroom/proxy/handlers/openai.py` — read-command protection for the
Responses units path; dedup shield; debug-path fix.
- `headroom/transforms/content_router.py` — shared
`read_protection_enabled()` helper (both paths).
- `tests/test_openai_responses_read_protection.py` — 16 regression
tests.

## 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

```

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: macOS (Darwin), Python 3.13.7, headroom proxy 0.37.0-dev,
`HEADROOM_STACK=wrap_copilot`, savings profile `coding` (effective per
proxy banner), model `gpt-5.6-luna` via GitHub Copilot API.
- Exact command / steps: incident forensics on Copilot CLI session
`5487d36f-3e7d-48b0-a56a-a92e4969c17b` (events.jsonl tool results
byte-matched to proxy log compression units), then the failing→passing
repro above.
- Observed result: (pre-fix proxy log `~/.headroom/logs/proxy-8794.log`)
  ```text
08:46:34 [hr_1787553986_000014] WS /v1/responses slow compression unit …
strategy=text … bytes=3857 … tokens_saved=235
08:46:34 [hr_1787553986_000014] … strategy=text … bytes=6852 …
tokens_saved=413
08:46:34 [hr_1787553986_000014] … strategy=text … bytes=3079 …
tokens_saved=178
08:46:47 [hr_1787554001_000015] … strategy=text … bytes=6924 …
tokens_saved=478
08:46:47 [hr_1787554001_000015] … strategy=text … bytes=4418 …
tokens_saved=305
  ```
Byte sizes match the session's `view` (3857/6852/3079) and `nl|sed`
(6924/4418) tool results exactly. Post-fix, those payload shapes are
byte-exact through
`_compress_openai_responses_live_text_units_with_router` (asserted by
the regression tests over the same wire shapes).
- Not tested: full `pytest tests/` run (upstream suite has pre-existing
order-dependent failures — 7 failed on clean `main` under `-k
"content_router or read or protect"` — and a pre-existing `litellm`
import error in `tests/test_memory_eval.py`; the 5 additional failures
in that selection with my branch pass in isolation and also fail on
clean main under the same selection); live end-to-end with a running
Copilot wrap (unit-level wire-shape coverage instead); Rust core path
(follow-up).

## Runtime Rollout Safety

- Rollout-managed feature(s): none
- Minimum rollout channel: N/A
- Stable/default behavior changed: yes — `view` outputs and
`HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS`-covered bash read outputs stay verbatim on the
Responses path (fidelity improvement; slightly fewer tokens saved)
- Kill switch / disable path: `HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS=0` restores old
bash-read behavior; `HEADROOM_EXCLUDE_TOOLS` overrides tool exclusion
- Unsafe override required: no
- Qualification impact: none
- Rollback path: revert the commit; no state/migration

"""Regression tests: file reads over the OpenAI Responses API path must stay verbatim.
Copilot CLI (and other Responses-native harnesses) read files two ways:
1. A first-class ``view`` tool (the Copilot equivalent of Claude Code's ``Read``)
whose output is raw file content the model will byte-patch against.
2. Shell reads through ``bash`` (``cat``/``nl``/``sed -n`` …), which the
chat/Anthropic path protects via ``HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS`` read-command
detection in ``ContentRouter``.
The Responses compression-units path historically protected neither: only
``DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_TOOLS`` names were honored, and ``HEADROOM_PROTECT_READS``
was never consulted. Lossy (Kompress) compression of a fresh file read garbles
exactly the bytes the model needs for line-precise edits, forcing re-reads
(turn inflation) — the harm read protection exists to prevent.
