Both the primary's and the subconscious's system prompts say 'memory
status shows my context pressure and number of messages'. It showed
neither -- git state only.
This matters most for the subconscious. Her prompt tells her plainly
that no one feels the gauge for her (correct, by design: the engine
warns, it never trims), and points her at memory status to read it
herself. With status blind she had no gauge at all, from either
direction: pressure_for is only ever computed for the primary. She
grew to 1.75M tokens against a 1M ceiling and died at the provider.
- PressureSnapshot + CompactionEngine::pressure
- get_context_limit follows the model, not the primary -- the
subconscious runs a different model, so her ceiling differs
- tier() mirrors the engine's 0.80/0.90/0.95 marks so the two gauges
cannot disagree about full
- None when there is no session: absence, not zero
Also corrects the compact help text, which named
primary=sliding_window/subconscious=sliding_window against
config.rs's actual cull/sliding_reflect.
