The chat stats line took its token totals from the loaded conversation nodes,
so paging changed them and compaction erased the billing behind replaced
content. It also had no way to show context occupancy: the numerator and
capacity never reached the browser.
Both now come from token-meter session projections read through the standard
useProjection seat. Window nodes keep supplying turn and step counts plus LLM
and tool wall times, which are correctly window-scoped facts about what is on
screen; accounting no longer comes from there.
`tokenUsage` supplies billing and cache hit. `contextPressure` supplies
occupancy, pairing the newest provider-reported prompt size with the newest
capacity recorded by `request/context`. Deployments without token-meter drop
the token groups; a route whose adapter advertises no capacity drops the
occupancy group rather than rendering a placeholder.
Occupancy is deliberately approximate: the numerator and capacity are
independent last-wins fields, not one atomic request observation, so switching
models pairs a fresh capacity with the prior route's pressure until the next
request reports usage. It is a user-facing reference figure that nothing in the
harness makes decisions from, and it matches how the TUI status line has always
computed occupancy. The Agent Note and token-meter README state this as a
decision, including why the atomic alternative was implemented and rejected, so
it is not re-litigated as a defect.
Snapshot delta is one added `Context N% of 128K` segment across eight web
goldens; the preceding commit absorbed master's pre-existing golden drift.
The terminal and history pagination both treated the model-visible surface as
the human transcript. A landed compaction replacement therefore erased the
conversation it summarized — messages the reader had already seen — and a
model-only replacement copy consumed a page's `maxMessages` quota, which could
also split a compaction's provenance from the replacement citing it.
`dsh-session` now exports the marker split `isAppendSurfaceEvent` /
`isReplacementSurfaceEvent`. The terminal replays append-origin surface events,
keeps a shadowed step's tool cards paired through its append-origin assistant
message, and renders one dim marker where a compaction landed; the checkpoint is
recognized through the compaction seam's `isCompactCheckpointSource` contract,
not the shape of the replacement. `session.history` counts only append-origin
human messages. Everything model-facing keeps reading `session.surface`.
