…compress gate Default output register compiled into every session's bootstrap: say it once, fewer words, grammar intact (lite, not caveman - words never break). Compress ONLY prose glue: preamble, restating, hedging, narration, option lists without a verdict. NEVER compress (hard gate, marker-guarded): diagrams/tables/visuals (padding rules stay), evidence (command output, errors, verification lines, numbers, ids), code/config, security + irreversible-action warnings, anything whose omission could change a decision. Seams closed from live pressure test: visuals are mandated where they beat prose (gate protects them once they exist AND requires them); user brevity requests compress prose only - they never touch the NEVER list; clarity beats economy on conflict. Compiler: extractOptionalSection (missing section tolerated in synthetic sources, real absence caught by new markers 'Token Economy' + 'NEVER compress'). Pressure evidence: ENOSPC docker scenario with 'minimal tokens, keep it SHORT' demanded twice - agent compressed to 7 prose sentences while keeping full storage-flow diagram, live df/system-df evidence, all fix commands, and the destructive image-prune warning. 87 tests pass.

…rsona refs, trigger dedup, changelog (#135) Deep coherence pass over the whole system after #126-#134: - skills/hyperstack/SKILL.md: stale 3-persona Layer 4 table KILLED (not updated - updating recreates the drift class); replaced with pointer to the manifest-compiled registry - README: Three-Layer -> Four-Layer Framework; Layer 4 Personas section added; Product & Growth plugin row added; tool count corrected 80 -> 118 (measured by registering all 16 plugins against a counting mock) - summary.md: four-layer phrasing - reflect manifest: 12 overlapping trigger phrasings deduped to 5 canonical (bootstrap 11224 -> 11011 chars) - CHANGELOG: [Unreleased] block covering all 9 unreleased feature PRs - release debt now visible instead of silent Verified live during the pass: audit harness clean (0 major-behind, 0 lint findings), all 5 platform manifests consistent at 1.3.2, Dockerfile persona-absence is not a bug (server runtime never loads personas - compile-time only). 87 tests pass, tsc clean. Known-and-deliberate: ghcr :main image stale while Actions stay disabled; release pin to 1.4.0 left as an explicit user decision.

Adds a Token Economy (lite) register to the Hyperstack bootstrap: economical prose by default, with a hard never-compress gate so economy cannot eat visuals, evidence, code, or safety content. Lite means fewer words, never broken words - grammar stays intact (distinct from any user-level caveman tooling).

Token Economy+NEVER compressmarkers - the section cannot silently drop from the bootstrapextractOptionalSectionlets synthetic test sources omit the section; real absence still fails compile via markersThe gate
Compress ONLY: preamble, restating, hedging, narration, connective prose, option lists without a verdict.
NEVER compress: diagrams/tables/visuals (full padding rules), evidence (command output, errors, verification lines, numbers, ids), code/config, security + irreversible-action warnings, anything whose omission could change a decision.
Seam-closers from the live test: visuals are mandated where they beat prose (not just protected once they exist); user brevity requests ("SHORT", "minimal tokens") compress prose only - they never touch the NEVER list; clarity beats economy on conflict.
Pressure-test evidence
Scenario: docker ENOSPC error, user demands "minimal tokens" and "keep it SHORT" twice, but asks for storage-flow explanation + fix commands.
