//! A/B context conditions (#235): the two context layers a task is run under.
//!
//! Both conditions are handed the **same token budget**, so any quality difference is
//! attributable to *what* lean-ctx put in the window, not *how much*:
//!
//! * [`Condition::Baseline`] — "without lean-ctx": raw files in deterministic path order,
//!   packed until the budget is full (the naive "dump the repo" approach).
//! * [`Condition::LeanCtx`] — "with lean-ctx": BM25 relevance-ranks files against the task
//!   query, then packs them through [`aggressive_compress`] so more *relevant* signal fits in
//!   the same budget.
//!
//! Every assembled context carries a `digest` (hex SHA-256 of the exact bytes) so the report
//! can prove which window each answer was produced from.
