15//! Dictionary-Based Compression
16//!
17//! Implements dictionary compression for repetitive data patterns like JSON
18//! agent traces with common schemas.
19//!
20//! ## jj.md Task 5: Dictionary Compression
21//!
22//! Goals:
23//! - 2-4x better compression ratio for small payloads
24//! - Reduce storage cost by 50-70%
25//! - Faster decompression (dictionary pre-loaded)
26//!
27//! ## How It Works
28//!
29//! 1. Train a dictionary from representative sample payloads
30//! 2. Share the dictionary across an SSTable (stored in footer)
31//! 3. Use the dictionary for both compression and decompression
32//!
33//! For agent trace payloads (typically JSON with repetitive schemas like
34//! `{"prompt": ..., "response": ..., "model": ...}`), dictionary compression
35//! exploits the repeated structure for 5-10x compression ratios.
36//!
