README

Rings, inside a Claude Code session, when the session nears a limit.

What it does

On each session.measure (the engine pushes one after every turn, and when a rate-limit window moves a point):

context: a toast at 70, 85 and 95 % of the window, with the tokens;
rate limits: a toast at 80 and 95 % of each window the last response reported (5h, 7d), with the time it resets; none off a subscription.

And for the auto-memory index (MEMORY.md, found in the session's own context breakdown at start): read at start and after each Write or Edit into its folder. The engine cuts it at load past 200 lines or 25,000 bytes (2.1.288); the bell rings at 90 % of either, and again once it is past.

Each threshold rings once on the way up; a value that falls 5 points under it (a compaction, /clear, a window that reset) arms it again.

The readings ride dim at the end of the hint line under the prompt, ctx 62% · 5h 41% · 7d 12% · mem 145/200, rather than as a pinned status line, which the engine draws with a warning sign; /usage7 prints them against their thresholds.

With avatar7 loaded, the avatar announces each toast in its own voice, in amber. Neither mod depends on the other. /usage7 test rings a sample toast, to hear that voice without waiting for a threshold.

Spend

Two kinds, never added up:

mods: every model call another mod makes ($.model.complete: avatar7's Haiku, jukebox7's intents) goes through the subscription. The bell counts their tokens per model and prices them as the API would, mods 41k tok ≈$0.06: what they take from the plan, not dollars billed.
api: the real dollars of the API keys (projects run outside Claude Code), from flux7-ops's GET /spend on 127.0.0.1:8710, asked every five minutes. ops7 alone holds the organization's Admin key; the bell sees amounts only: api $6.20 today, and in /usage7 yesterday, the month and each workspace. A day rings at $5, $10 and $20. Without ops7 the bell says so and stays quiet.

Limits

It signals and never acts: no compaction, no memory pruning.
The memory limits are the engine's constants in 2.1.288; a later build may move them.
The session's own cost is left out: on a subscription it means nothing.
