The existing log line reports message counts, which is the least informative number available here: absorbing one tool-heavy exchange can drop hundreds of tokens while moving the count by one. There was no way to answer "is this actually helping?" from a real session. Emit one content-free JSON line per pass, in the same shape as the batch compaction telemetry: before/after tokens, the delta, the size of the absorbed exchange, the rolling summary size, duration, and running per-session totals so a whole run can be read off the last line. No transcript content rides along. Add scripts/micro_compaction_report.py to aggregate those lines into passes, outcome mix, net tokens saved, mean exchange size and durations, with an optional per-session breakdown. Measuring it immediately surfaced something worth documenting: the first pass in a session normally *costs* tokens. The summary marker carries a fixed ~400 tokens of scaffolding, paid on pass one against a single absorbed exchange. From pass two the marker is replaced rather than added, so the overhead is already paid and each exchange is close to pure saving. Break-even is typically the second or third pass. Tests cover the telemetry contract, the cumulative totals, and that first-pass/later-pass shape so nobody reads a single turn and concludes it made things worse. The estimator costs ~5 ms at 600 messages and ~20 ms at 1200, taken twice per pass, post-turn — and only once an exchange is actually in hand, so turns that no-op early pay nothing.
