- ON 47823 / OFF 47824 with own PXPIPE_LOG files: operator session can
never pollute bench measurement (separation by construction)
- resume = skip existing patch files; clean stop on quota errors
- Docker grading documented as proxy-free (no model calls in containers)
- README: mention Pro pilot alongside Lite
- src/dashboard/fragments.ts: server-side HTML fragment renderers reusing the
same JSON payloads (HTML and JSON surfaces can't drift)
- node.ts/dashboard.ts: /fragments/<name> routes (header, session-summary,
recent, latest, sessions, stats, toggle) with htmx polling + Alpine for
local state; toggle is a POST-returning-fragment htmx swap
- vendored htmx 2.0.4 + Alpine 3.14.9 in src/dashboard/vendor.ts (offline,
single-file npm package, no CDN)
- deleted Svelte components/stores/bundle build step; dropped svelte/vite
devDeps; build is now just tsc + esbuild
- tests: +5 fragment contract tests (routing, toggle state, HTML escaping of
source text, 404) - 339 total
- PXPIPE_PROVIDER=cloudflare-ai-gateway + PXPIPE_GATEWAY_BASE_URL derive both
family routes ({base}/anthropic, {base}/openai) from one configurable base
- PXPIPE_GATEWAY_HEADERS injects auth headers (JSON or k=v;k2=v2) on every
upstream request incl. count_tokens probes
- OpenAI paths drop /v1 to match gateway shape; Anthropic paths unchanged;
unknown paths pass through on the family route; streaming untouched
- no hardcoded hostnames; tests use fake gateway URLs/tokens (14 new)
- ImageEntry carries sourceText (capped 64KiB upstream in transform.ts)
- new GET /api/image-source[?id=N] endpoint
- LatestPng gains a 'view source text' toggle so the operator can see
the exact text -> image conversion side by side
Does the model actually read pixelpipe's render, or coast on memorized answers?
- novel random-number problems (un-memorizable): text 100% vs image 93% (-7pp real reading tax)
- GSM8K (in training data): 97% vs 96% -- inflated ~3pp by recall
- verbatim recall from a dense render: 0/15
README 'Benchmarks' section leads with the clean 93% and reports the failure
rows too (no cherry-pick). Harness in eval/gsm8k/: gen_novel.py, render_cfg.mjs
(pixelpipe's real renderTextToPngs), bench.py -- claude -p, exact-match grading.
The runtime kill switch reset to ON on every restart, silently re-enabling
the lossy text->image path (which also broke extended-thinking turns).
Default compressionEnabled to false: off on startup, survives restart;
only an explicit dashboard toggle turns it on.
The prior commit captured only the rename (a stale pathspec aborted the
content staging). This applies the actual edits: retitle to FINDINGS,
'## Verdict' + superseded TL;DR, and the two cross-reference updates.
The project isn't dead (verdict reversed to working ~68% gist-compressor),
so 'postmortem' was a misnomer. Rename to FINDINGS, retitle, promote the
correction to '## Verdict', and mark the old TL;DR as superseded. Update the
two cross-references (eval README link, public-api test comment).
Widen the model gate to /^claude-opus-4-(?:[7-9]|[1-9]\d)(?:-|$)/ (Opus 4.7
and newer; previously 4.6/4.7). Wire isPixelpipeSupportedModel into the proxy
boundary in proxy.ts — the proxy previously gated on economics only and
ignored the model, so it compressed 4.8 traffic despite the docs claiming a
4.6/4.7 scope. Unsupported models now pass through with reason
'unsupported_model'.
Update public-api tests to the 4.7+ spec (320/320 pass).
Correct the docs to live measurement: reverse the POSTMORTEM "dead" verdict
(pixelpipe is a lossy gist-compressor saving ~68% on real dense Claude Code
traffic; the verbatim 0/15 needle finding stands as a caveat, not the
verdict), rewrite README Status/Limitations, and add a correction pointer to
the eval README. Original POSTMORTEM body preserved below the correction.
BREAKING CHANGE: Opus 4.6 and older are no longer supported.
Verbatim-risk guard (skip imaging unique IDs/hashes/exact values) still pending.
