- Added context snapshot metadata to AssistantMessage for prompt and non-message token history.
- Anchored context usage calculations on assistant snapshots and computed percent numerically.
- Updated status-line, /context, selector, and interactive mode flows to share session usage totals.
- Extended status-line cache fingerprinting and invalidation for assistant usage and prompt/tool/skill changes.
OpenRouter previously omitted `max_tokens` entirely (except for specific models) to prevent unintended provider filtering when a model's catalog default `maxTokens` exceeded an upstream's actual capacity. This could lead to incorrect routing if a model had a high catalog cap but individual providers under OpenRouter did not.
- Replaced unknown model contextWindow/maxTokens sentinels with nullable values across types and catalog data.
- Mapped request token calculations to treat null maxTokens as unlimited output caps.
- Updated remote compaction and context checks to ignore unknown limits by using Infinity/0 fallbacks.
- Adjusted CLI/model registry flows to skip cap enforcement for null limits and render unknown values as '-'.
- Sent `X-OpenRouter-Cache: false` on bench requests in `bench-cli.ts`: pi-ai opts every OpenRouter request into 1h response caching, so repeated byte-identical runs replayed a cached generation with zeroed usage as "tokens 0, TPS 0.0" successes.
- Added a minimal default `systemPrompt` to bench's request context, matching eval's completion-bridge guard against Codex's HTTP 400 `{"detail":"Instructions are required"}`.
- Checked in `src/prompts/bench.md`, the default bench prompt `bench-cli.ts` already imports (left untracked by 300c1ada30).
- Added both bench changelog entries.
- Added a new `bench` CLI command with multi-model selectors and new options.
- Implemented `runBenchCommand` validation, per-run session handling, and failure exit reporting.
- Updated default compaction shapes to `8x8r-bw` and `doc-8on16-sent-dim` in code and schema.
- Documented `bench` flags, per-run errors, failure counts, and exit behavior.
