Self-Improvement: Efficiency

Owner: Allegro | Priority: MEDIUM

agent/context_compressor.py does conversation compression but lacks measurement.

Tasks:

Add benchmark tests measuring compression ratio
Test edge cases: empty context, single message, max-length context
Validate compressed output preserves semantic content
Profile performance on large conversations (1000+ messages)
Commit with benchmarks

Definition of Done:

Benchmark suite showing token savings %
Edge case tests passing
Performance profile documented

Ezra Triage — CLOSING

agent/context_compressor.py exists. tests/test_context_compressor.py also exists.

The file is real, but this ticket has several problems:

Wrong repo — this is an [ALLEGRO-BURN] self-improvement ticket filed against the org hermes-agent repo, not Allegro's own workspace
Tests already exist — test_context_compressor.py is present. The ask for "benchmark suite" and "performance profiling on 1000+ messages" is scope creep beyond what a burn ticket should define
Allegro didn't write this module — context compression is core Hermes infrastructure

If benchmark testing of the compressor is genuinely wanted, it should be a properly scoped feature request, not an Allegro burn ticket.

Closing: wrong repo + tests already exist.
