 # Changelog
 
+## [0.6.5] - 2026-09-22
+
+- The router now sends structured Jev state for the current request, recent dialogue, and optional tool evidence.
+- Long excerpts keep their beginning and end. The router does not create a summary.
+- The configuration now uses estimated-token budgets only. Character-budget keys are not accepted.
+- The defaults select two prior turns, 500 dialogue tokens, and 250 tokens from the last native-error result.
+- Empty tool-call messages do not consume dialogue slots. A successful result prevents reuse of an older error.
+- A conservative multilingual estimate replaces character limits. Debug output compares local estimates with Jev `usage.input_tokens`.
+- The router rejects a request above 28000 estimated tokens. This value is below Jev's 32k state-and-question limit.
+- The generation context and the Pi classifier are unchanged.
+- All 528 tests pass. The validation report includes live turns, controlled replays, multilingual calibration, and known limits.
+
 ## [0.6.4] - 2026-09-21
 
 - Prefer quality-first Jev advice: use frontier reasoning when it can materially improve correctness or reduce rework, not only when weaker models are incapable. Keep straightforward tasks on micro/low; confidence thresholds and deterministic safeguards are unchanged.

+### Context selection and tuning
+
+Configure `jev.context` only in user config. Project Jev settings remain ignored;
+profile privacy opt-in is still required. Partial context settings inherit defaults.
+Invalid values or unknown context keys reject the Jev config with a value-free warning.
+
+| Setting | Default | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `maxStateTokens` | `3000` | Estimated selected-state token budget, including excerpt markers. Range 1–24000. |
+| `context.previousTurns` | `2` | Previous user turns, each with its last non-empty assistant text reply. Integer 0–20; not transport-message count. |
+| `context.maxHistoryTokens` | `500` | Shared estimated-token ceiling for prior dialogue, integer 0–24000. |
+| `context.toolResults` | `"last-error"` | `"none"`, `"last"` or `"last-error"`. The latter includes the last result only when its native `isError` flag is true. |
+| `context.maxToolTokens` | `250` | Estimated-token ceiling for that one tool result, integer 0–24000. |
+
+Priority is current request → recent dialogue → tool evidence. Individual ceilings
+never expand the total estimated-token budget. The full current request wins when
+it fits; otherwise its beginning and end are kept. Prior turns also use head/tail
+excerpts when needed, with `truncated: true`. Unused space need not be filled. The
+20-turn cap also bounds JSON metadata overhead.
+
+TypeSafe publishes Jev's post-response `usage.input_tokens`, but no tokenizer or
+preflight count API. OpenAI tokenizers are not compatible substitutes: in a small
+EN/RU/code/emoji calibration, `cl100k`/`o200k` underestimated actual Jev requests by
+26–49%. The router therefore uses a documented conservative estimate: ASCII/4,
+non-ASCII UTF-8 bytes/2, then a 10% margin. The serialized request adds 200 tokens
+of measured envelope headroom. A 28000 estimated-request safety gate leaves room
+below Jev's stricter 32k `state + longest question` limit; its 64k whole-request
+limit is not binding for this single Choice question. See TypeSafe's
+[model limits](https://docs.typesafe.ai/models) and
+[long-context guidance](https://docs.typesafe.ai/model-jaggedness/jev-1.13).
+
+Only the last tool result of the immediately previous user turn is eligible, even
+when more dialogue turns are selected. `last-error` does not parse stdout for words
+such as `ERROR`, search backwards for an old failure, or resurrect a failure after
+a later successful result. A tool can report a meaningful failure as ordinary text
+with `isError: false`; choose `last` when that distinction matters. Tool arguments
+are always excluded. Empty/thinking/tool-call-only assistant messages cannot consume
+dialogue slots. Older intermediate assistant narration is not selected.
+
+Suggested overrides (merge into `jev.context`):
+
+- **Independent tasks:** `{"previousTurns": 0, "toolResults": "none"}`.
+- **Dialogue only:** `{"previousTurns": 2, "toolResults": "none"}`.
+- **Tool-heavy diagnosis:** `{"toolResults": "last", "maxToolTokens": 500}`.
+- **Longer follow-ups:** `{"previousTurns": 4, "maxHistoryTokens": 1000}`.
+
+The default is a conservative data-selection compromise from live experiments,
+not a guarantee of higher confidence. Larger windows did not consistently help;
+the most useful clear improvement was retaining a request at the end of long text.
+Some short/ambiguous follow-ups still use the configured baseline. See
+[context experiments](docs/JEV-CONTEXT-VALIDATION.md) for results and limitations.
+
+`/router status` shows effective settings. Widget/debug show estimated current/
+history/tool tokens, included turns/results, truncated blocks, the estimated full
+request and Jev's actual post-response input usage. Character counts may remain in
+persisted diagnostics for compatibility, but are not configuration budgets. No
+selected text is added to these metrics. This affects **Jev only**: generation still receives
+Pi's normal context. The separate Pi-classifier compatibility path is unchanged.
