"""Memory-pressure bounds for the gateway's per-session AIAgent cache.
Each cached ``AIAgent`` pins ``_session_messages`` (the full live transcript,
tool outputs included — tens of MB on a tool-heavy session). The cache's LRU
cap counts entries, not bytes, and the idle TTL defers eviction for busy
sessions, so neither sees actual memory use. This module supplies that signal:
the process's own anonymous RSS against a budget derived from the cgroup limit.
``GatewayRunner._sweep_agent_cache_under_pressure`` uses it to shed LRU
transcripts via the soft-eviction path (rebuilt from the persisted session on
the next turn).
Everything here is pure or read-only. Config lives under ``agent.agent_cache``.
