Before each driver call, over compact_at (0.6) of the prompt budget, the same model is asked for notes over the very request it was about to get, plus one message, so the server's cache covers all but the notes. The notes, with code's list of the calls they replace, become a compaction event that renders in place of its range, keeping word for word what started the work and the last few turns. Rare, large steps keep the prompt's start unchanged between them. A later compaction folds in the earlier; one from an earlier run's view is hidden. Failed notes are logged and fitting takes over. Fitting now applies compactions before it measures, records what it cuts (Trim) and logs each cut as context.trimmed. Wired into both agents' drivers and the benchmark; nisse-dev's helper loop is a follow-up.

Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part L) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part D) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part O) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
