Add caveman prompts feature + harden unreleased batch#4
Merged
Conversation
Caveman prompts (caveman_prompts_enabled, default true): /nx-plan writes the plan's prose fields (task summary, step title/objective/contract/scope) and /nx-build writes its executor dispatch prompts in clipped, telegraphic English to cut tokens in the re-read plan and the per-dispatch prefix. Paths, identifiers, signatures, config keys, and the runnable acceptance command stay verbatim; a contract stays unambiguous. Set false for normal prose. Also folds in the rest of the unreleased work: grep narrowing, Wilson-bound bidirectional routing calibration, honest savings split in /nx-report, PreCompact + SessionStart reset hooks, SubagentStop per-tier usage, retention pruning, Fable pricing, wasted-context analytics, tiered budget alerts, and canonicalised predup signatures. Commands rewritten in terse telegraphic style with minimal user-facing output. Full test suite green (369 passed).

Caveman prompts (new feature)
A config-gated token-saving feature:
caveman_prompts_enabled(defaulttrue)./nx-planwrites the plan's prose fields (task summary, steptitle/objective/contract/scope) in clipped, telegraphic English./nx-buildwrites its executor dispatch prompts (shared-context prefix + self-authored instructions) the same way.These are the artifacts re-fed to models repeatedly — the plan is re-read by every executor and the shared prefix ships on every dispatch — so trimming function words is a recurring saving.
Strict carve-outs (verbatim, never caveman-ified): file paths, identifiers, signatures, config keys, code,
route/filesvalues, and the runnableacceptancecommand. Caveman ≠ vague — acontractstays unambiguous since a weaker executor reads it cold.Both command files were also rewritten in terse telegraphic style with minimal user-facing output (no per-step success chatter in
/nx-build).Also includes the rest of the
