Runtime Flow

flowchart TD
    In[Incoming messages] --> Policy[ContextPolicy]
    Policy --> Trim[Truncation strategy]
    Trim --> Preserve[System message preservation]
    Preserve --> Out[Context for model call]

Current Capabilities

• Runtime policy configuration through context management APIs.
• Message-count and token-budget aware pruning.
• Strategy support for retaining recent context while preserving critical system prompts.
• Deterministic output for repeatable host integration tests.

Operational Notes

• Configure policy before high-volume conversational loops.
• Validate behavior with context management and session tests in tests/.
• Keep host-side persistence and restoration aligned with session snapshots.
