Conversation
Implement chronological context with token budget enforcement for single long-running conversations. This mode maintains conversation history as segments and builds context by including recent turns up to the token budget. New features: - --long-conversation flag for memory proxy command - --context-budget, --compress-threshold, --raw-recent-tokens options - Segment and LongConversation data models - File-based persistence (markdown with YAML frontmatter) - Basic context building with token budget enforcement Phase 2+ (not yet implemented): - Asymmetric compression (user vs assistant) - Code block deduplication - Streaming support
…Phase 2) Implements intelligent compression that prioritizes assistant messages: - User messages: gentle 70% compression, preserve code blocks and quotes - Assistant messages: aggressive 20% compression to bullet points Adds integration tests covering the full transformation pipeline.
… (Phase 3) Add repetition detection that identifies near-duplicate code blocks and stores compact references with diffs instead of full content. - Extract fenced code blocks using regex - Detect similarity using difflib.SequenceMatcher (>85% threshold) - Store reference + unified diff when savings > 70% - Integrate deduplication into segment creation flow - Add 6 integration tests for repetition detection This saves tokens when users paste the same or similar code multiple times during a conversation.

…plication Add two integration tests to verify Phase 2 and Phase 3 features work together: - test_compression_and_deduplication_together: Verifies compression triggers mid-conversation and deduplication still works for repeated content - test_build_context_with_all_segment_states: Verifies build_context correctly handles raw, summarized, and reference segments in the same conversation

Summary
Adds a new
--long-conversationmode tomemory-proxythat maintains a single, continuous conversation with intelligent compression, optimized for 100-200k token context windows.Key insight: User input is precious and hard to summarize without loss. LLM output is verbose and derivable. Compress asymmetrically.
