1.12.0 — Envelope: a receipt, not a dump

Agents are greedy. A search for the letter e can match hundreds of names. If the tool pretends the list is complete, the agent believes it saw everything. If it dumps the graph, the chat fills with noise.

Envelope is the fix, and it is boring on purpose.

Each successful Intelligence call appends one JSON line under ~/.prism/envelope-ledger.jsonl: which tool, how many items, whether the list was cut short, how many JSON bytes that answer used.

Never in the line: prompts, paths, file bodies, or source code. Never uploaded.

Console Iris (#/iris) reads that ledger for the repo you picked. You see bytes kept vs a full dump, change vs last week, and how often a truncated list was followed by a tighter call. An empty week is “no sessions” or —. It is never 0%. Zero would mean “we measured nothing and called it nothing.”

Iris no longer mounts the repository map. Facts stay. The map lives in Spectrum and the IDE.

Lists elsewhere tell the same truth: fifty items of sixty is truncated: true plus a real totalCount.
