+"""Opt-in automatic handoff for Hermes sessions.
+
+Off by default. The user turns it on with ``/lit-handoff auto on <percent>`` or
+with ``LITHERMES_AUTO_HANDOFF=1`` plus ``LITHERMES_AUTO_HANDOFF_PERCENT``. The
+percent is always the user's own: there is no built-in value, and a value that
+is not a whole number from 1 to 99 leaves the feature off.
+
+How it works on this host, step by step:
+
+1. ``post_api_request`` reports the prompt size of every model call. The plugin
+   divides it by the model's context window and keeps the latest reading per
+   session. Crossing the user's percent marks one pending directive.
+2. ``pre_llm_call`` is the only hook whose return value reaches the model, so
+   the directive rides on the next user turn. It asks the model to write the
+   handoff with the bundled lit-handoff procedure, to put a one-time id line in
+   the file, and to tell the user to run the compact command.
+3. A plugin cannot start compaction on Hermes. The user runs it, or Hermes
+   compacts on its own threshold. The next ``pre_llm_call`` notices the new
+   compaction summary in the history and loads a bounded digest of the handoff,
+   but only if the file carries this session's id and was written after the
+   directive. Anything else is refused.
+
+The feature fires once per crossing of the percent, never inside a tool call,
+and never for delegate children. State is kept in memory per session; only the
+user's switch and last percent persist, in Hermes home ``lithermes/``.
