chopratejas 0b3e4d2586 Remove hardcoded source hint system from ContentRouter
ContentRouter now routes purely based on content analysis instead of
relying on hardcoded tool name mappings. This makes the router work
with any MCP tool regardless of naming convention.

Changes:
- Remove generate_source_hint() function and _strategy_from_hint() method
- Remove source_hint parameter from compress() method
- Remove _get_tool_source_hint() from IntelligentContextManager
- Update tests to remove source hint test cases
- Update docs to document content detection approach

Overview

Headroom is the Context Optimization Layer for LLM applications. It reduces your LLM costs by 50-90% through intelligent context compression.

How It Works

  1. Universal Compression — ML-based content detection with structure-preserving compression
  2. SmartCrusher — Compresses JSON tool outputs, keeping errors, anomalies, and relevant items
  3. CacheAligner — Stabilizes message prefixes so provider caching works
  4. RollingWindow — Manages context limits without breaking tool call pairs
  5. CCR — Caches original data so compression is reversible

Safety Guarantees

  • Never removes human content
  • Never breaks tool call ordering
  • Parse failures pass through unchanged
  • LLM can always retrieve original data
