The Rust CLI proxy claiming 60-90% token reduction now compresses output for unmodeled find predicates, guarantees compression can't produce a larger result than the original, and emits a tail hint when rtk itself imposes the result cap (GitHub). The never-worse guard and the explicit cap hint are the two things that make an output-compressing proxy safe to leave switched on by default. The repo also promoted its first stable tag in a while at v0.46.0 on August 26, at 77,574 stars, after a long run of release candidates.
