Follow-ups on top of the cherry-picked #62644 mechanism, porting it to
current main and closing the salvage-review requirements:
- proactive_prune_min_reclaim_tokens (default 4096): a prune only COMMITS
when it reclaims a meaningful token batch, measured on the pruned output.
A committed prune rewrites already-sent history and invalidates the
provider prompt-cache prefix; this hysteresis gate keeps those breaks
episodic/amortized (like a compression boundary) instead of firing every
tool iteration. 0 disables the gate. (Design point credited to the
#62389 review cycle's prune_minimum_tokens.)
- Standard no-op caller contract: every skip path returns the INPUT list
object; the loop commits only on 'result is not messages' + non-zero count.
- Loop call is getattr+callable guarded (plugin engines predating the hook,
SimpleNamespace test doubles) and exception-swallowed at debug level.
- Config parse follows the compression.max_attempts hardened semantics:
booleans rejected, fractional floats rejected, integral floats/numeric
strings accepted; negative trigger = disabled.
- cli-config.yaml.example documented (all three keys) and gateway
_CACHE_BUSTING_CONFIG_KEYS extended so hot-reload rebuilds the agent.
- Tests: min-reclaim gate both directions, input-object no-op contract,
no-orphan tool_call_id pairing in BOTH directions (#69830 pin rule),
default-off zero-behavior-change pin, config parse seam, and behavioral
loop-wiring tests (consulted/commit/no-op/absent-method/raising).
