//! Context firewall: replace large tool outputs with a compact digest + retrieval ref.
//!
//! When ephemeral mode is active (`[archive].ephemeral`, default on), genuinely large
//! tool results are stored out-of-band via [`crate::core::archive`] and only a
//! deterministic digest — a head/tail excerpt, size stats, and `ctx_expand` drilldown
//! instructions — is returned inline. This keeps the agent's context window small while
//! preserving full, slice-addressable access to the raw output.
//!
//! Scope: tool *outputs* (`ctx_shell`, `ctx_execute`, `ctx_search`, `ctx_tree`). Explicit
//! file reads keep their own read-mode system and are never firewalled.
