//! Rolling LLM-summary checkpoint for bounding conversation context cost.
//!
//! When a thread's short-term history grows large enough that re-feeding
//! every turn into each LLM call becomes expensive, callers run
//! [`summarize_history`] to compress the older portion into a single
//! summary string. The caller folds that string into subsequent
//! `system_prompt` arguments — the function itself does not mutate
//! short-term memory.
//!
//! This is an additive helper; it touches no trait surface defined in
//! [`crate::agent`] / [`crate::memory`] / [`crate::llm`]. Implementations
//! of [`ShortTermMemory`](crate::memory::ShortTermMemory) need no new
//! methods.
//!
//! # Token-counting strategy
//!
//! [`SummarizeOptions::trigger_token_budget`] is compared against an
//! approximate token count derived from the cheap `chars / 4` heuristic
//! applied to the loaded history's message bodies. Counting Unicode
//! scalar values (`chars().count()`) rather than raw UTF-8 byte length
//! keeps the heuristic stable across CJK / emoji / accented Latin
//! content, where multibyte encodings would otherwise inflate the count
//! ~3× and trigger summarisation prematurely. This is intentionally
//! provider-agnostic — accurate-enough to bound cost without dragging in
//! a tokenizer dependency. Callers wanting tighter control can set
//! `trigger_token_budget` lower than the model's true context window.
//!
//! # Prompt-injection hardening
//!
//! Because the summarizer is itself an LLM call whose `User` message
//! contains attacker- or LLM-controlled bytes, `render_transcript_with_opts`
//! wraps each turn in an unforgeable XML-style fence with a per-call
//! random nonce, and the default
//! [`SummarizeOptions::summary_system_prompt`] instructs the summarizer
//! to treat the fenced content as untrusted data. Callers overriding
//! the system prompt are responsible for preserving the same untrusted-
//! data framing.
//!
//! # PII / data-egress contract
//!
//! `Role::Tool` messages typically carry tool arguments and results
//! supplied by upstream callers — these may include credentials, API
//! keys, BAFIN-restricted records, or other sensitive content that
//! must not be forwarded to a third-party summarizer. The default
//! [`SummarizeOptions::redact_tool_content`] of `true` substitutes
//! `Role::Tool` content with a redaction marker before rendering. See
//! [`SummarizeOptions::redact_roles`] for finer control.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # async fn example(ctx: klieo_core::AgentContext) -> Result<(), klieo_core::Error> {
//! use klieo_core::{summarize_history, SummarizeOptions, ThreadId};
//!
//! let thread = ThreadId::new("session-1");
//! if let Some(summary) = summarize_history(
//!     &ctx,
//!     thread,
//!     SummarizeOptions::default(),
//! )
//! .await?
//! {
//!     // Fold `summary` into the next `run_steps` system prompt.
//!     let _ = summary;
//! }
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
