phase: 167_api_payload_diet
All gates green. Final report:

**Verified (phase 167 final pass — all 6 tasks already in `complete/`)**
- Live re-measure of the headline criterion on the **1,000-doc live-replica corpus** (restored `data/bor_live_kb_replica.dump.sql` into a scratch DB `bor_audit`, alembic 0011→0027, dropped after; the shared dev DB was never touched): `GET /api/docs/tree` default depth=1 = **8,474 identity → 1,128 B with `Content-Encoding: gzip`** (< 40 KB bar; ~2 MB defect fixed), repeat load **304 / 0 bytes**; depth=8 265,147→23,515; node drill 20,844→1,065; `/api/docs` 246,366→45,104; `/api/documents/content` 892,124→60,776 (`LOOK`, accepted-with-why). Reproduces `AUDIT.md` to within 1 byte.
- Transport contracts proven live: `POST /api/chat` **no** `Content-Encoding` + frames arriving live + budget line `… enc=identity duration_ms=7380 stream=1`; HTML still `no-cache` with the `?v=` rewrite (and gzipped); A20 headers on 200 **and** 304; ETag identical across identity/gzip; `depth=0|9|abc`→422; anonymous tree/node→403; unknown folder/source→404 `unknown node`.

**Gates (all 100% green)**
- `uv run pytest` → **3980 passed**; `uv run pytest --cov=app --cov-report=term-missing` → **TOTAL 99%** (`compression.py`, `http_cache.py`, `response_budget.py` 100%; `api/docs.py` 99%, one defensive dedupe line).
- `uv run ruff check .` → All checks passed; `uv run pyright` → 0 errors.
- Phase + regression E2E **in isolation** (`--junitxml`, exit codes): `test_kb_tree_lazy_load` 11, `test_kb_tree` 8, `test_kb_tree_nav` 4, `test_navbar_refresh` 7, `test_document_dates` 6, `test_git_source_dates` 4, `test_sync_summary_visibility` 3, `test_table_ux_polish` 6, `test_sources_midstream_bug` 6, `test_ls_tree_drilldown` 3, `test_smoke` 3 — **0 failures/errors** (the earlier `-q -q` run had simply suppressed pytest's summary line).

**Documentation** — README.md + AGENTS.md reviewed in full (1,436 / 80 lines):
- Fixed (pre-existing, phase-167-exposed): README *Caching & deploys* claimed "One Starlette middleware (`app/core/caching.py`) applies the rule" while the section now describes three transport layers → rewritten to name caching/compression/http_cache, the real outermost→innermost order, and why `bytes=` is uncompressed.
- AGENTS.md rule 5 (UI Structure Check) gained the phase-167 clause: a lazily-drilled level keeps the current level rendered, its in-flight `role="status"` / `role="alert"`+Retry row lives in the same bounded scroll panel, and stat cards read server `totals` (never a walk of a depth-limited tree).
- Cross-checked and consistent: every `BOR_*` in `.env.example` is in the README table, every `Settings` field is documented, all 15 README-cited API routes exist in the app, no stale "one fetch / drill client-side" claim remains anywhere.

**Notable decisions / deviations**
- `compression.py` adds a documented `_RebufferSmallResponses` seam beyond the D1 sketch (the caching layer's `BaseHTTPMiddleware` re-framing otherwise defeats Starlette's `minimum_size` exemption and inflates tiny responses) — integration-pinned, math still Starlette's.
- A node-route **404 = vanished folder → honest reset to top level** (per `00_phase.md` D4/D6), not task-06's "alert + Retry"; 500 shows alert+Retry with the level preserved — both pinned, nothing weakened.
- Retrieval battery not measurable (shared E2E DB holds no corpus), but `git diff --name-only -- app/rag` is empty, so retrieval is unchanged by construction. `AUDIT.md` left byte-identical (it lives under `todo/`, off-limits to this pass); no git index/history commands run.

**Next pending phase:** none — `167_api_payload_diet` is the only entry in `.agents/phases/todo/`; the harness moves it to `complete/` and commits.

"""The byte budget: ONE log line per ``/api/*`` response (phase 167, task 05, D5, LOCKED A5).
TODO L5 asked "which endpoint is heavy, right now, in production?" — and
before this phase the app could not answer it. The 2 MB
``GET /api/docs/tree`` defect was found by a human eyeballing a browser
network tab; every other candidate endpoint was a guess. This module makes
the answer a ``grep`` away:
.. code-block:: text
api method=GET path=/api/docs/tree status=200 bytes=204511 enc=gzip duration_ms=41
* ``bytes`` is the size of the body the ROUTE produced — the sum of the
``http.response.body`` chunk lengths as they pass through, uncompressed
even when the wire carried gzip (the compression layer above us encodes
AFTER we counted). ``enc`` reports what actually went on the wire
(``content-encoding``, else ``identity``). The two together answer "how
fat is it, and how fat did the client see it".
* level: ``INFO`` when ``bytes >= settings.log_large_response_bytes``
(``BOR_LOG_LARGE_RESPONSE_BYTES``, default 65536; ``0`` = every ``/api/*``
response at INFO), ``DEBUG`` below it — so the default log stays quiet
and an offender is loud without a re-deploy.
* a ``304`` logs ``bytes=0`` deliberately: the revalidation win this phase
bought is visible in the log, not hidden behind a missing line.
* `` stream=1`` is appended for ``text/event-stream`` responses, where
``bytes`` is the streamed total and ``duration_ms`` is the stream's LIFE.
Why **pure ASGI** (the phase-167 rule for anything on this path): the
middleware must never buffer. It only reads message lengths, so the SSE
chat stream (A15) passes through byte-identical — a
``BaseHTTPMiddleware`` here would deliver the whole turn at the end,
which is exactly the failure mode phase 167 exists to avoid elsewhere.
Logged on the ``http.response.body`` message with ``more_body=False`` —
for a stream that is when the **stream ends**, so ``duration_ms`` is the
stream's whole life. A stream the client walks away from (a cancelled SSE
turn) writes exactly one line too, with the bytes that actually got out:
the app unwinds without a completing body message and the ``finally`` path
emits it. Half a response happened, so half a count is the honest number —
and no line at all would make a chatty, abandoned poll look free.
An app exception is handled the same way (one line, bytes as counted, status
500 when the app never got to answer) and re-raises UNCHANGED; non-HTTP
scopes and non-``/api/`` paths pass through silently (pages, assets and the
static catch-all are not the catalogue surface this budget governs).

"""What one measured response accumulates: status, the start message,
bytes.
``start`` holds the ``http.response.start`` MESSAGE (the dict), not a
snapshot of its headers, and its headers are read at emit time — after
the final body chunk has been awaited. That is how ``enc`` reports the
wire encoding from a layer sitting UNDER the compressor (the position
that gives an uncompressed ``bytes=``): Starlette's gzip responder holds
that same start message while it decides what to do with the body and
decorates it in place (``MutableHeaders(raw=initial_message["headers"])``
shares the list), so by the time the body completes the
``content-encoding`` the client sees is on it. Holding the message
rather than the list is not pedantry — ``Headers(scope=message)``
REBINDS ``message["headers"]`` to a fresh list (the compression
responder and this stack's ``_RebufferSmallResponses`` both call it
that way), so a captured list would be a stale one.
The dependency is documented and pinned, not assumed:
``tests/integration/test_response_budget_api.py`` reads the real
middleware stack for both ``enc=gzip`` and ``enc=identity``, so a
future layer that copies the message instead of decorating it fails a
test rather than quietly mislabeling the log (the byte count stays
exact either way — it is the number the budget compares).
