"""context_pack.py -- one text a Claude with NO tools can reason from.
WHY THIS FILE EXISTS (2026-09-21). The operator's paid seat may lapse. A free
Claude chat cannot open files, run commands, read a browser or send mail; it
can only read what is pasted and answer. So the measurement has to be carried
to it. This gathers, from the tree and its own records, the things a session
here reads first, in the order it reads them, and writes ONE file to paste:
1. what commit this is, and whether the working tree is clean
2. the launch gates as covenant_one last printed them (ONE_CHECK / ONE_SWEEP)
3. the sweep tally (suites, checks, failed, RESULT line)
4. the newest self-evaluation block (ops/SELF_EVAL.md, written by the watchdog)
5. the watchdog's last lines
6. the open entries of docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.md (titles only, newest last)
7. the standing method (CLAUDE.md), so the reader works the same way
8. with --private: private/outreach/REPLY_KIT_*.md, which is gitignored and
is written to the private folder, never beside the public pack
Nothing here runs a node, a sweep or a judge. It reads records; if a record is
stale it says the record's date, so the reader can see that too. Run the
measurement first when it matters: python covenant_one.py --check (20 s).
python tools/context_pack.py -> ops/CONTEXT_PACK.txt
python tools/context_pack.py --private -> private/CONTEXT_PACK_PRIVATE.txt
python tools/context_pack.py --max-kb 60 (cap; the pack trims the oldest
material first and says so)
