Headroom Daily: Compression Safety and Proxy Hardening
Merged work on November 5th centered on making compression safe and predictable, with follow-on fixes for native model startup, memory storage, and proxy routing. The highest impact is tighter guards against data loss, hangs, and unbounded memory growth.

Good morning, it's November fifth, twenty twenty-six. Welcome to Headroom Daily.
The lead today: compression is getting safer and less surprising. Across a dozen merges, the team closed holes where lossy rewrites could replace tool output, leak placeholder text, or stall a live stream.
First theme, protect original content. One fix in pull request forty-five oh-four stops block-style tool results from reusing a cached lossy result meant for assistant text. Tool output now stays byte-for-byte unless it carries a proper retrieve marker. A companion fix in forty-five forty-three keeps protected…
Second theme, stop native startup failures. Two Kompress fixes, forty-five fifty-nine and forty-six forty-four, run the central processor check and the dynamic library guard before building a session. That turns a potential crash or deadlock on machines without the runtime into a clean skip to no-op. Forty-five…
Third, memory and routing polish. Forty-six forty-seven reads the relationship field the save schema actually advertises, so graph queries stop missing. Forty-six forty-nine replaces stale vectors on re-index, and Gemini memory context in forty-five oh-six now survives multimodal turns.…
