Two parallel "real usage" mechanisms fought each other: the usage anchor (real + delta) and the
compressor's rough/real projection (should_defer_preflight_to_real_usage with
last_rough_tokens_when_real_prompt_fit / _pending_request_rough_tokens / note_request_rough_estimate
baselines). The projection stored an anchored, real-scale figure as its "rough" baseline, so a
rewind that invalidated the anchor produced phantom growth and a spurious compaction (#103391).
Now there is one authority:
- Post-tool gate (turn_preflight.compress_after_tool_results): anchored figure first (the raw
last_prompt_tokens ignored the tool results just appended), then real, then rough.
- Gateway hygiene (run_turn._hmwa_hygiene_plan): real session count, else the anchor persisted on
the session row, else rough.
- Preflight / pre-API gates: an anchored figure is never deferred. A whole-context rough estimate
over threshold waits ONE request for the provider's real count instead of compressing on a guess
(first request, rewind/edit-resend, reloaded history without a persisted anchor).
- The wait is one request, never a disable: a provider that omits usage
(note_usage_less_response, #2153 class), a real reading already over threshold, a rough figure
past the whole window, and provider-proven overflow all compress immediately; the post-compaction
latch (#36718 / #104192) is unchanged.
- Projection baselines and their bookkeeping deleted (-101 LOC in context_compressor); the fixtures
that scripted whole-history estimates now state the fact they relied on (provider omits usage).
Fixes#103391 (closes#103397 by construction — the baseline it repaired no longer exists).
- turn_context_compaction: shared home for _clear_overflow_warn,
_reset_retry_state_after_compaction, _blocked_compress_reason,
_apply_grown_window, _refund_api_call (used by turn_preflight and the
turn-start preflight passes).
- turn_context: _with_persist_lock + _clear_staged_cli_input_if_persisted +
two try/except/finally wrappers -> one _persist_under_lock; MoA sanitize
model extracted to _sanitize_model_for; predicates flattened.
- turn_preflight: PreflightVerdict merged into PreflightGateVerdict (the
gate's carrier) and mutated in place; duplicate guard chain + refund blocks
collapsed onto the shared helpers.
- turn_preflight_gate: builds the carrier once, no re-unpack of the inner
verdict.
- turn_iteration_prep: step-callback tool-round scan and steer injection lifted
into helpers; dead _verdict closures on always-fallthrough paths removed.
