Prefix cache reuse plateaus mid-session — deep agentic turns re-prefill ~23k tokens every turn

Retracting the prefill figures in this issue — both of them

#295 shows the prefill EMA tracks recent traffic shape rather than capability, so every number I quoted here was a snapshot of what…

A restart collapses the advertised context window to a sixth, until real traffic warms the prefill EMA

Raised #294 to fix the class rather than the instance: pin OpenAI's published OpenAPI spec, validate our emitted shapes against it in CI, and require every deviation to be declared with a…
