Log output (optional)

[magic-alfonso]

Thanks for the diagnostics bundle — it is detailed enough to rule some things out already, and I have a hermetic reproduction running on our side against the Pi changes between the version you were on and v0.42.5. Two things I can say now, and two things I need from you to close it.

What the log already shows:

• After the update, three boots failed with better_sqlite3.node was compiled against a different Node.js version (NODE_MODULE_VERSION 141 vs 147). During those runs Magic Context was disabled entirely, so Pi sent the raw conversation; when a later boot came up clean, the transformed prompt came back. That pair is a bust by construction and will show on the dashboard, but it is your Node upgrade under a compiled native module, not a Magic Context change. npm rebuild better-sqlite3 inside the plugin's install (or reinstalling the package) clears it. If the busts you saw are only around those restarts, this is the whole story.
• protected_tokens: 20 is rejected and falls back to the default: it is a token floor (minimum 4000, default derived from the window), not the old protected_tags tag count, so the renamed key is not doing what protected_tags: 20 did. Harmless for caching, but worth removing or setting to a token count. The generic "invalid value" warning you got is unhelpful for exactly this case; the next release says so explicitly.

What I need to attribute anything beyond that:

1. Which version you updated from. The Pi wire delta between v0.42.4 and v0.42.5 is measurement-only, so if the busts persist on every request the cause is in an earlier release's Pi changes and I need to know which range to look at.
2. Two consecutive request bodies from the affected session. Pi can write them: enable its LLM debugging output (.pi/pi-llm-debugging/ under the project) and send me two consecutive requests where the dashboard shows a bust on the second, plus the session id (01a09f81-… from your log is the one I see). With those I can byte-diff the prompt at the first divergent message and say exactly which decision moved — or that the prefix was byte-identical and the miss is on the provider side. Without them I would be guessing, and I would rather not.

One more question: does the dashboard show a bust on every request after the restart settled, or a burst around the restarts and then normal cache reads? The answer changes which mechanism I chase.

And one cheap experiment that would discriminate faster than anything else: your log shows 9 messages per request that are not in the session file (unmapped slots fall through to synthesized ids) — those are messages injected into the prompt at request time, which with 19 extensions loaded is expected. Magic Context gives such a message an identity from its position in the request, so if an extension inserts something whose position moves every turn, the tag on it moves too and the prompt diverges there on every request. If you can run the same session for a few turns with only @cortexkit/pi-magic-context enabled and compare cache reads, that either clears or convicts the extension interaction in one step. Our hermetic replay of the v0.41.4 → v0.42.5 Pi changes is byte-stable across passes and a real restart, so the missing piece is what your session carries that the replay does not.

It was coming from another extension that quietly updated, not mc.
