newt-core 0.7.1

//! The **ShellObservation** seam (issue #308 — the cowork foundation).
//!
//! A "cowork" surface (the downstream gilamonster-agent split-pane UI) lets a
//! human work in a real shell *beside* the agent's chat pane. When the human
//! runs a command, the agent should see **what they just did** — not as an
//! instruction it must obey, and not as a tool result it produced, but as a
//! plain situational observation: *"here is what the human just did in their
//! shell."* That single framing is the whole point of this module.
//!
//! ## Why it lives in `newt-core`, built once
//!
//! Every observation tier feeds the same channel:
//!
//! - **Tier A** — a `script(1)` / typescript tail (the cheapest tap).
//! - **Tier B** — a PTY wrapper that mirrors the human's terminal.
//! - **Tier C** — a future event bus carrying structured shell activity.
//!
//! All three construct a [`ShellObservation`] and render it into a
//! [`MemMessage`] via [`ShellObservation::into_mem_message`]. There is exactly
//! one rendering — one framing string, one redaction pass — so a security or
//! wording fix lands in one place.
//!
//! ## Pure construction seam — it never touches `chat_complete`
//!
//! This module produces a [`MemMessage`]. The caller **appends** it to the
//! message list it already assembled (the same list it hands to
//! [`ChatCtx::messages`](crate::agentic::ChatCtx)) *before* calling
//! `chat_complete`. The loop's compression / budget logic (issues #282 / #267)
//! is untouched: an observation is just one more message in the list it
//! receives.
//!
//! ## Redaction is enforced by construction
//!
//! Shell output carries secrets (a leaked `export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=…`, a
//! `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer …"`, a pasted private key). The **only**
//! public path from raw shell content to a [`MemMessage`] runs the content
//! through newt's existing credential redaction — the very same
//! `redact_secrets` pass the compression summarizer applies to its input. The
//! raw `content` is private; a caller cannot construct the message without
//! redaction happening first. See [`ShellObservation::redacted_content`].
