* refactor(prompt): diet the memory/skills guidance block — schema-taught curricula removed, form rule + pruning contract kept (537 -> 223 tok in the combined block)
* polish: literal check-glyphs in source; memory capacity posture — save proactively, replace/consolidate when full
* refactor: single spine for memory/profile guidance — form rule + capacity posture written once, variants differ only in opening frame
* refactor: ONE memory-guidance builder — frame adapts to enabled stores, body written once, positive posture leads (maintainer direction)
* fix wording: memory is loaded per SESSION, not injected per turn (maintainer correction)
_collect_ghosted_skill_names() covers both ghost-skill shapes in the
compressed middle window: rows already demoted to a [SKILL_PRUNED: ...]
marker AND raw skill_view bodies (> _SKILL_VIEW_PRUNE_MIN_CHARS) that
survived Phase-1 inside an earlier protected tail and then aged into the
compression window — the summarizer paraphrases those instructions away
too. Shared threshold constant between the emit site and the scan.
Pinned by a live-probe-shaped test (real compress(), mocked aux LLM).
21 tests pinning the salvaged #44166 behavior:
- marker emit + extractor round trip (patterns adapted from PR #32375
by @LeonSGP43, with credit)
- no-duplicate re-injection when the canonical marker survived (the
original PR's presence-check defect)
- Phase-1 protection for just-loaded / user-referenced skills, and the
Pass-4 pressure override that keeps #61932 fixed
- deterministic marker survival through a REAL compress() with a mocked
aux LLM: drop → re-injected, keep → not duplicated, static-fallback
path, iterative re-compression via rehydrated handoff
- markers never classify as handoff content (classify_summary_content /
_strip_context_summary_handoff_message untouched)
- SKILLS_GUIDANCE Skill Safety Rule renders with real newlines
