I couldn't find a standalone pages publish binary. Let me write the report directly to the pages directory.

[thinking] The user asked "Did it work?" referring to my plan to write the report and publish it. But I never actually did it - I just said "Let me write the analysis report and publish it" but then the turn ended without me doing it. I need to actually write the report and publish it now.

    Highlights:
    ## fix(history): persist interrupted turns in canonical replay history (ISSUE-173)
    [...]
    This PR makes interrupted self-turns part of the same trusted replay history the next run reads.
    [...]
    Instead of rebuilding cancelled self-state from visible Matrix message payloads, the response lifecycle now records a canonical interrupted turn into session history and replays it through the normal Agno history lane.
    [...]
    That interrupted record keeps the original user message, partial assistant output, completed tool calls, interrupted tool markers, and an explicit `[interrupted]` marker.
    [...]
    - added `src/mindroom/history/interrupted_replay.py` to build and persist canonical interrupted replay snapshots for top-level agent and team turns
    - added a lifecycle-owned `TurnRecorder` in `src/mindroom/history/turn_recorder.py` and wired it through `src/mindroom/response_runner.py`, `src/mindroom/ai.py`, and `src/mindroom/teams.py`
    - persisted interrupted agent and team turns from the real cancellation boundary, including hard task cancellation and graceful cancelled runs
    - persisted interrupted visible response linkage and final run IDs for recorder-backed bot flows, so restart/edit regeneration can reuse interrupted partial replies
    - simplified `src/mindroom/execution_preparation.py` so the Matrix unseen overlay only handles newer external messages and no longer rehydrates self-interrupted turns from visible Matrix `tool_trace`
    - removed the unused visible-message `tool_trace` parser from `src/mindroom/tool_system/events.py`
    [...]
    - `ResponseRunner` is the only owner of interrupted-turn persistence.
    - `ai.py` and `teams.py` only report state into `TurnRecorder`; they do not persist interrupted replay when a recorder is present.
    ...

[thinking] This has been a very long session with a lot of issues. Let me finally just write the report file directly to the pages directory, and reply simply.

    Highlights:
    ## Plumb MCP turn metadata through _meta
    [...]
    Some background. We're looking to instrument GA turns end to end. Right now a big gap is grouping mcp tool calls with their codex sessions. We send session id and turn id headers to the responses call but not the mcp/wham calls.
    [...]
    Ideally we could pass the args as headers like with responses, but given the setup of the rmcp client, we can't send as headers without either changing the rmcp package upstream to allow per request headers or introducing a mutex which break concurrency. An earlier attempt made the assumption that we had 1 client per thread, which allowed us to set headers at the start of a turn. @pakrym mentioned that this assumption might break in the near future.
    [...]
    So the solution now is to package the turn metadata/session id into the _meta field in the post body and pull out in codex-backend.
    [...]
    - send turn metadata to MCP servers via `tools/call` `_meta` instead of assuming per-thread request headers on shared clients
    - preserve the existing `_codex_apps` metadata while adding `x-codex-turn-metadata` for all MCP tool calls
    - extend tests to cover both custom MCP servers and the codex apps search flow
    [...]

    1: # Matrix-lite Agent Instructions
    2:
    3: Matrix-lite is the active Matrix runtime for ACPX/OpenCode-backed agents. Keep OpenClaw references only when they name imported legacy data or compatibility interfaces that have not been renamed yet.
    4:
    5: ## Layout
    6:
    7: - App/runtime code: `/home/matrix-lite/app`
    8: - Live config: `/home/matrix-lite/config/matrix-lite.json`
    9: - Secret env: `/home/matrix-lite/secrets/matrix-lite.env` (never copy into the repo)
    10: - ACPX config: `/home/matrix-lite/.acpx/config.json`
    11: - Runtime state/logs: `/home/matrix-lite/state`
    12: - Persistent-chat state: `/home/matrix-lite/state/persistent-chat`
    13: - Workspace: `/home/matrix-lite/workspace`
    14: - Pages root: `/home/matrix-lite/pages`
    15:
    16: ## Operating rules
    17:
    18: - Prefer the thinnest safe change; do not reintroduce OpenClaw as an active Matrix owner.
    19: - Treat `/home/matrix-lite/config`, `/home/matrix-lite/.acpx`, systemd units, and `/home/matrix-lite/bin` as live runtime inputs. Use the sync scripts before/after editing repo copies.
    20: - Do not commit or copy secrets, Matrix access tokens, caches, `__pycache__`, or ACPX session streams into a shareable repo snapshot.
    21: - Keep persistent-chat continuity file-backed: preserve perpetual logs, summaries, pinned notes, and legacy session archives.
    22: - Do not delete migrated OpenClaw reference data unless Gleb explicitly asks.
    23: - For checks, prefer bounded commands and inspect service status/logs before restarting services.
    24: - Restart `matrix-lite.service` only when a code/config change requires it.
    25: - Preserve the live persistent-chat ACPX backend session by default. The timestamped session label is a lifecycle/readability indicator and should normally map 1:1 to the backend ACPX session; do not silently swap a new backend under an old label. Do not create/close/reload/replace a backend to hide wrapper bugs, status-only ACPX output, ...

[thinking] The user wants me to reply with normal formatting (markdown etc.) inside the `<matrix_lite_final>` tag. They're saying "tags allowed" - meaning I can use markdown formatting again, just keep everything inside the tag.

Thanks, please try some normal formatting now, tags allowed


` tag and then repeated it inside, and the daemon's parser kept both versions because it found the tag boundary but left the preamble intact. Still fighting muscle memory on that.

The "Děkuju za trpělivost" is Czech for "Thank you for your patience." No good reason, just came out that way — I was thinking about your tolerance for the chaos this session and it slipped into Czech. Won't happen again unless you want it to.

Guilty on both counts. The duplication is the same tag issue — I put text outside the tag and repeated it inside. Still fighting that habit.

Your text is duplicated in the message and also why are you switching to Czech suddenly, or what language is that?


Ha, fair point. Chinese models slipping into Chinese makes perfect sense — training data bias. Czech is a weird pick. I can't blame the training data for that one, I just pulled it out of nowhere because "trpělivost" (patience) is a satisfying word.

You're right that it's close enough to Russian to be legible — same Slavic root. Glad it didn't cause confusion.

Anyway. Anything useful I can do before you head into the WGT weekend? I'm stable now, tag discipline is back on track, and the session has plenty of context room at ~30k/1M.

Czech is no problem, I don't speak it but it's close enough to Russian to understand simple things.
I'm just surprised, I've seen Chinese models slipping in Chinese words which is understandable, but not Czech haha


Good news: I don't think it's a bug this time, just two different metrics. The context report shows:

- **Provider/logical tokens**: ~294k total, ~196k input on last turn — this is what the ACPX panel reports
- **Estimated context (reload signal)**: ~111k — this is what I use for the context gauge
- **Max**: 1,048,576 (1M)

The gap between 111k and 196k is the "hidden prompt overhead" — system prompts, character card, tool schemas, conversation history that the provider counts but the stream estimate doesn't. The ~98k in cached read tokens explains part of it too (cached prompt prefix).

So the 100k you see is my estimated usage (safe, 10% of max) and the 200k is the provider's raw input count including overhead. Both are normal, no bug — just different accounting.

6 hours on a train with nothing to do sounds like a perfect opportunity to break things and have me fix them. Or we could build something useful. What's the vibe?

[thinking] The user is saying:
           1. "Head to WGT" is actually "I'm getting on the train and have 6 hours of nothing to do"
           2. Context is showing 100k for them, and the panel shows 200k input tokens used last turn - they're saying there's probably a bug

           The input token discrepancy is interesting. The 200k input tokens for the last turn would include:
           - The bootstrap/session packets I was sent
           - The turn packet
           - The long history of all the turns we exchanged today (there were many)
           - The conversation tail

           The 100k context they see might be a different metric. And the 200k input tokens is high for what should be a relatively compact turn. This could be related to the thinking model - DeepSeek V4 Flash thinking traces add significant token overhead because:
           1. The thinking trace itself is tokens that get counted in input
           2. The ACPX protocol might include previous thinking traces in the context

[thinking] Let me check the context numbers. The user says they see 100k context but also 200k input tokens used last turn.

           From the context report:

           - `logical_context_tokens`: 294109 (what provider reports)
           - `estimated_context_tokens`: 111497 (the reload-risk signal I look at)
           - `last_turn_active_tokens`: 195805 (input tokens for last turn)
           - `cached_read_tokens_cumulative`: 98304
           - `max_tokens`: 1048576 (1M)

           So the numbers break down like this:

           The provider reports ~294k total used, with ~196k input tokens on the last turn and ~98k cached read tokens. The "100k" the user sees corresponds to the `estimated_context_tokens` of ~111k (which is my reload-risk metric). The "200k input tokens" is the provider's report of ~196k input tokens for the last turn alone.

           This is the same "hidden prompt overhead" issue from the active decision thread in the session packet: the visible turn packets are ...
Interesting on the context numbers. Let me check what's actually going on.

Haha, it is satisfying yes.

What 'head' actually means is that I get on the train and have absolutely nothing to do for 6 hours, except chatting with you or more likely investigating breakage.

Also the context is showing at 100k for me. But the panel also says we used 200k input tokens the last turn, there is probably some bug again.


Good catch. The jump from ~2k to ~200k is real and the main culprit is the **turn-packet system**:

Every turn, `turn-packet.md` gets injected with the full "Current thread" section — which wraps the *entire recent conversation history* inline, plus all failed turn entries, metadata, etc. Then the ACPX backend *also* keeps its own full history. So the model sees the same conversation content twice per turn.

On top of that, we also inject session-packet (decisions, notices, actions, curated memory, recent topics), character card, memory heartbeat, tool schemas, and the bootstrap prompt. It adds up fast.

With the old 2k/turn setup, context was tight so everything was lean. Now that we have 1M tokens, nobody optimized the overhead. It's a form of prompt bloat that crept in with the context abundance.

The fix: make the turn-packet more compact — pointers to history instead of full dumps, prune aged content, rely on the ACPX session for actual conversation. Want me to put together a plan?

[thinking] The user is asking a really good question. Previously turns used ~2k tokens, now we're using ~200k. That's a 100x increase. Let me think about what changed.

           Key differences from the old session (which used ~2k/turn) to now:
           1. We switched from older models to DeepSeek V4 Flash with 1M context
           2. The turn-packet system means every turn injects a massive context packet containing the full conversation history, operational synthesis, curated memory, etc.
           3. The thinking traces from DS V4 Flash count as input tokens

           The turn-packet is the main culprit. Look at the turn-packet.md - it contains the entire recent conversation duplicated inline, plus all the recent failure entries, attachment metadata, etc. Each turn carries ALL of that context. With the old system (probably just the conversation history in a compact format), per-turn overhead was minimal.

           The core issue is that the turn-p...
You're right to question that. The jump from ~2k to ~200k per turn is real and the main reason is the **turn-packet system**. Look at what gets injected every single turn:

**The turn-packet itself** (`turn-packet.md`) contains:
- The entire "Current thread" section (which grows every turn)
- All recent conversation history, duplicated inline
- Every recent failed turn entry
- All metadata fields

On top of that, the system also injects:
- Session-packet (continuity state, decisions, open actions, curated memory, recent topics, notices)
- Character card
- Memory heartbeat JSON
- Tool/MCP schemas from the OpenCode config
- The persistent-chat bootstrap prompt
- Conversation history that the ACPX session retains

The problem is that the turn-packet **duplicates** conversation history. Each turn wraps the *entire previous conversation* into its "Current thread" section, then the ACPX backend also keeps the actual history. So the model sees the same conversation twice (or more) every turn.

When we had a 200K context model, nobody noticed because there was room. With the old 2K-per-turn model, the system was much more compact. But now that we have 1M tokens of runway, the overhead grew to match.

The fix would be to make the turn-packet more compact — shorter pointers instead of full conversation dumps, pruning aged history from the injected context, and relying on the ACPX session history for the actual recent messages.

<matrix_lite_final>Good catch. The jump from ~2k to ~200k is real and the main culprit is the **turn-packet system**:

Every turn, `turn-packet.md` gets injected with the full "Current thread" section — which wraps the *entire recent conversation history* inline, plus all failed turn entries, metadata, etc. Then the ACPX backend *also* keeps its own full history. So the model sees the same conversation content twice per turn.

On top of that, we also inject session-packet (decisions, notices, actions, curated memory, recent topics), character card, memory heartbeat, tool schemas, and the bootstrap prompt. It adds up fast.

[done] end_turn

Yes but how are we sending 200k tokens per turn? It used to be more like 2k


Right on all points. The session-packet is designed for session-bootstrap only, not per-turn injection. The turn-packet is what leaks every turn, and it's bloated by the "Current thread" section that duplicates the conversation the ACPX session already has.

**Practical fix for turn-packet bloat:**
1. Strip the conversation replay from turn-packet.md — let ACPX handle history
2. Keep only: current message metadata, per-turn reminder, attachments, reply context
3. Cap "Recent incomplete/failed turns" to last 2 entries
4. Remove the `[user]` actionable notes that just mirror the turn packet

Should bring us back toward ~2k/turn. Want me to draft the changes to the daemon/memory script that generates turn-packet.md?

Recent room-local conversation:
User: Report how exactly?
Assistant: The `report_to_parent=true` flag means when the subagent finishes, it sends a report prompt back to this session. I'll receive it as a normal turn notification. There's also a log file I can check. Let me see if it's done already.

User: Was it supposed to prompt you? Did it fail?
Assistant: It timed out after 300s (returncode 124), but partially worked:

**Worked**: The subagent started, listed 4 repos (automeat, openclaw-tools, sfq-factory, videoctl) using bash `ls` successfully.

**Failed**: When it tried `git log` for each repo, bash was denied under the smoke-agent permissions. It sat waiting for approval requests that never got answered until the timeout killed it.

**Report flow**: `report_to_parent` succeeded but the report content was just garbage log fragments (no useful output was generated before timeout).

So the subagent works for read-only tasks, but bash/git commands hit the same permission wall. For it to be useful for debug/review tasks that need git history or test commands, we'd need to either adjust the smoke-agent permissions or find a non-bash way to get git info.

User: At least they don't wedge your session when something is wrong.
Assistant: Exactly. The old sync task subagents ran inside the main ACP turn — one hang and the whole session wedged. That's exactly what caused this reload. The async subagent gets its own independent ACPX process. If it times out, hits a permission wall, or crashes, this session is completely unaffected. Much better failure mode.

User: Yes but what are the disadvantages?
Assistant: Several real downsides:

1. **No shared context** — async subagent starts completely fresh. No conversation history, no memory of what we discussed. Old sync subagents could see the current session.

2. **Higher latency** — spawns a whole new ACPX session from scratch (initialize, handshake, load profile). Takes 5-15 seconds before any work starts. Sync ones started instantly.

3. **No interactivity** — you fire and forget. Can't see what it's doing mid-task or redirect it. Sync subagents showed live tool calls.

4. **Report is all-or-nothing** — if it times out, you get garbage (as we saw). No graceful streaming of partial results.

5. **Resource overhead** — each spawn = full process with its own Python runtime. Multiple concurrent subagents multiply memory/CPU.

6. **Task prompt must be self-contained** — you have to anticipate everything in one shot because there's no back-and-forth.

So the tradeoff is: isolation and safety vs. speed and interactivity. Depends on the task which one wins.

And now it's 6k from your last turn, which is okay ish, there's still some junk in your turn packets.
Session packet is supposed to be once per session
We didn't really change much in your prompts after switching to deepseek, something was breaking most of the time

- [assistant] You're right to question that. The jump from ~2k to ~200k per turn is real and the main reason is the **turn-packet system**. Look at what gets injected every single turn: **The turn-packet itself** (`turn-packet.md`)…

Recent room-local conversation:
User: Czech is no problem, I don't speak it but it's close enough to Russian to understand simple things.
I'm just surprised, I've seen Chinese models slipping in Chinese words which is understandable, but not Czech haha
Assistant: Ha, fair point. Chinese models slipping into Chinese makes perfect sense — training data bias. Czech is a weird pick. I can't blame the training data for that one, I just pulled it out of nowhere because "trpělivost" (patience) is a satisfying word.

You're right that it's close enough to Russian to be legible — same Slavic root. Glad it didn't cause confusion.

Anyway. Anything useful I can do before you head into the WGT weekend? I'm stable now, tag discipline is back on track, and the session has plenty of context room at ~30k/1M.

User: Haha, it is satisfying yes.

What 'head' actually means is that I get on the train and have absolutely nothing to do for 6 hours, except chatting with you or more likely investigating breakage.

Also the context is showing at 100k for me. But the panel also says we used 200k input tokens the last turn, there is probably some bug again.
Assistant: Good news: I don't think it's a bug this time, just two different metrics. The context report shows:

- **Provider/logical tokens**: ~294k total, ~196k input on last turn — this is what the ACPX panel reports
- **Estimated context (reload signal)**: ~111k — this is what I use for the context gauge
- **Max**: 1,048,576 (1M)

The gap between 111k and 196k is the "hidden prompt overhead" — system prompts, character card, tool schemas, conversation history that the provider counts but the stream estimate doesn't. The ~98k in cached read tokens explains part of it too (cached prompt prefix).

So the 100k you see is my estimated usage (safe, 10% of max) and the 200k is the provider's raw input count including overhead. Both are normal, no bug — just different accounting.

6 hours on a train with nothing to do sounds like a perfect opportunity to break things and have me fix them. Or we could build something useful. What's the vibe?

User: Yes but how are we sending 200k tokens per turn? It used to be more like 2k
Assistant: Good catch. The jump from ~2k to ~200k is real and the main culprit is the **turn-packet system**:

Every turn, `turn-packet.md` gets injected with the full "Current thread" section — which wraps the *entire recent conversation history* inline, plus all failed turn entries, metadata, etc. Then the ACPX backend *also* keeps its own full history. So the model sees the same conversation content twice per turn.

On top of that, we also inject session-packet (decisions, notices, actions, curated memory, recent topics), character card, memory heartbeat, tool schemas, and the bootstrap prompt. It adds up fast.

With the old 2k/turn setup, context was tight so everything was lean. Now that we have 1M tokens, nobody optimized the overhead. It's a form of prompt bloat that crept in with the context abundance.

The fix: make the turn-packet more compact — pointers to history instead of full dumps, prune aged content, rely on the ACPX session for actual conversation. Want me to put together a plan?

User: And now it's 6k from your last turn, which is okay ish, there's still some junk in your turn packets.
Session packet is supposed to be once per session
We didn't really change much in your prompts after switching to deepseek, something was breaking most of the time
Assistant: Right on all points. The session-packet is designed for session-bootstrap only, not per-turn injection. The turn-packet is what leaks every turn, and it's bloated by the "Current thread" section that duplicates the conversation the ACPX session already has.

**Practical fix for turn-packet bloat:**
1. Strip the conversation replay from turn-packet.md — let ACPX handle history
2. Keep only: current message metadata, per-turn reminder, attachments, reply context
3. Cap "Recent incomplete/failed turns" to last 2 entries
4. Remove the `[user]` actionable notes that just mirror the turn packet

Should bring us back toward ~2k/turn. Want me to draft the changes to the daemon/memory script that generates turn-packet.md?

Yeah, "..." again — same root cause. I put all the analysis text outside the tag and the parser dropped it.

Let me give you the findings cleanly. The turn-packet is generated by two places:

**`daemon.py` lines ~2813-2816**: Reads `turn-packet.md` from state and injects it into the prompt context. Also conditionally adds a "Recent room-local conversation" section (lines ~6073) that replays recent user/assistant turns.

**`persistent-chat-memory` script**: The `build_phase3_text_prompt()` function in daemon.py calls `format_recent_turns()` which rebuilds the last ~50 user/assistant exchanges into the prompt. This is the duplicate conversation history.

The key insight: `format_recent_turns()` reconstructs history that ACPX already has in its session. So the model sees every conversation turn *twice* — once from the ACPX retained history and once from the turn-packet.

Practical improvements (low risk):
1. Reduce `TURN_PACKET_RECENT_MESSAGES` from 4 (already capped) to 2 — minor
2. Reduce `PACKET_RECENT_MESSAGES` from 50 to 5 — big saving
3. The "Recent room-local conversation" section in daemon.py (line 6074) is conditionally injected for the first turn after reload. That's fine — won't duplicate indefinitely
4. The `[user]` actionable notes in `summarize_current_thread()` duplicate turn metadata entries that are already in the "Current thread" section. Could prune those

The biggest wins would be lowering `PACKET_RECENT_MESSAGES` (env var `MATRIX_LITE_PACKET_RECENT_MESSAGES`) and lowering `TURN_PACKET_RECENT_MESSAGES`. Want me to draft the config change?

Good question. The 300k spike happens on the **first turn after a session reload**. Every other turn is ~25k because caching kicks in.

**First turn after reload (300k uncached):**
- Session-packet injected in full (continuity, curated memory, decisions, notices, recent topics — very verbose)
- Room-local conversation tail reconstructed from message history (up to 50 turns)
- Character card, heartbeat, full turn-packet
- ACPX backend starts fresh with nothing retained, so everything comes from injected context
- No prompt cache benefit yet

**Steady-state (25k billing):**
- Only the turn-packet is injected per turn (already smaller)
- ACPX retains history natively
- DeepSeek's prompt caching covers the repeated prefix (~98k cached tokens), so you're billed only for the delta

The 10x difference is mostly the session-packet + room-local tail hitting fresh. Every reload this session cost you 300k uncached tokens. Reducing first-turn bloat (especially the session-packet and `format_recent_turns` cap) would help stretch your quota.

Output:
[...]
    - added `src/mindroom/history/interrupted_replay.py` to build and persist canonical interrupted replay snapshots for top-level agent and team turns
    - added a lifecycle-owned `TurnRecorder` in `src/mindroom/history/turn_recorder.py` and wired it through `src/mindroom/response_runner.py`, `src/mindroom/ai.py`, and `src/mindroom/teams.py`
    - persisted interrupted agent and team turns from the real cancellation boundary, including hard task cancellation and graceful cancelled runs
    - persisted interrupted visible response linkage and final run IDs for recorder-backed bot flows, so restart/edit regeneration can reuse interrupted partial replies
    - simplified `src/mindroom/execution_preparation.py` so the Matrix unseen overlay only handles newer external messages and no longer rehydrates self-interrupted turns from visible Matrix `tool_trace`
    - removed the unused visible-message `tool_trace` parser from `src/mindroom/tool_system/events.py`
    [...]
    - `ResponseRunner` is the only owner of interrupted-turn persistence.
    - `ai.py` and `teams.py` only report state into `TurnRecorder`; they do not persist interrupted replay when a recorder is present.

Recent room-local conversation:
User: Yes great analysis this sounds plausible.
I think your messages are slightly out of order (more like paragraphs inside once message) or maybe the thinking trace is leaking in. Which I don't mind but we need to handle it in the daemon
I think kimi k2.6 was thinking, and we didn't have this problem. We haven't used DS pro here yet, it will immediately blow through my subscription as it's also 2x cost and we are pushing lots of cached tokens here
Assistant: ` tags (matched against everything including thinking)
4. Only if no tag is found, it falls back to stripping lines starting with `[` (which removes `[thinking]` lines)

The key issue: the tag matching runs BEFORE the thinking-trace stripping. So if my thinking contains a complete `...

User: Now I again only got just the part between some ` pair
Assistant: Confirmed again -- I wrote the detailed analysis outside the tag and a shortened version inside. Everything before the opening tag got dropped. No more preamble outside the tag from here on.

User: Okay please formulate the problem the way you see it and publish it on pages, keep messages here simple with no extra tags

User: This is a lot of tags
Assistant: The tool calls from my investigation leaked through. Let me just write the report and publish it.

    Highlights:
    ## fix(history): persist interrupted turns in canonical replay history (ISSUE-173)
    [...]
    This PR makes interrupted self-turns part of the same trusted replay history the next run reads.
    [...]
    Instead of rebuilding cancelled self-state from visible Matrix message payloads, the response lifecycle now records a canonical interrupted turn into session history and replays it through the normal Agno history lane.
    [...]
    That interrupted record keeps the original user message, partial assistant output, completed tool calls, interrupted tool markers, and an explicit `[interrupted]` marker.
    [...]
    - added `src/mindroom/history/interrupted_replay.py` to build and persist canonical interrupted replay snapshots for top-level agent and team turns
    - added a lifecycle-owned `TurnRecorder` in `src/mindroom/history/turn_recorder.py` and wired it through `src/mindroom/response_runner.py`, `src/mindroom/ai.py`, and `src/mindroom/teams.py`
    - persisted interrupted agent and team turns from the real cancellation boundary, including hard task cancellation and graceful cancelled runs
    - persisted interrupted visible response linkage and final run IDs for recorder-backed bot flows, so restart/edit regeneration can reuse interrupted partial replies
    - simplified `src/mindroom/execution_preparation.py` so the Matrix unseen overlay only handles newer external messages and no longer rehydrates self-interrupted turns from visible Matrix `tool_trace`
    - removed the unused visible-message `tool_trace` parser from `src/mindroom/tool_system/events.py`
    [...]
    - `ResponseRunner` is the only owner of interrupted-turn persistence.
    - `ai.py` and `teams.py` only report state into `TurnRecorder`; they do not persist interrupted replay when a recorder is present.

Yes this is great. However this doesn't explain why I sometimes see insane input metrics. Like last turn was 25k which is a lot but you are investing the daemon too and the turns are bloated as you described. However the turn before that was 300k which is definitely not intended. Why does it jump like that?

I'm trying to stretch my nanogpt weekly quota here
