From d65da6c92790db28fe3ffe6d7d4f33192595bed9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy McSpadden Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 22:07:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat: wire semantic chunking, add preferences, metrics, and docs - Wire semantic chunker into inlineFileSmart() for large file context selection - Use inlineFileSmart for knowledge file in buildExecuteTaskPrompt (TF-IDF relevance) - Add compression_strategy and context_selection preferences with profile defaults - Add resolveCompressionStrategy() and resolveContextSelection() resolvers - Add cacheHitRate and compressionSavings to UnitMetrics - Add aggregateCacheHitRate() for session-wide cache performance - Update token-optimization.md with compression, chunking, and distillation docs - Add 12 integration tests for optimization preferences and modules --- docs/token-optimization.md | 54 ++++++ src/resources/extensions/gsd/auto-prompts.ts | 54 +++++- src/resources/extensions/gsd/metrics.ts | 24 +++ src/resources/extensions/gsd/preferences.ts | 32 ++++ .../gsd/tests/semantic-chunker.test.ts | 16 ++ .../tests/token-optimization-prefs.test.ts | 164 ++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 341 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/resources/extensions/gsd/tests/token-optimization-prefs.test.ts diff --git a/docs/token-optimization.md b/docs/token-optimization.md index 3f930f5f0..d2fb38bfe 100644 --- a/docs/token-optimization.md +++ b/docs/token-optimization.md @@ -264,3 +264,57 @@ preferences.md ``` The profile is resolved once and flows through the entire dispatch pipeline.
