Sub-agent prompts budgeted first and compacted second, so the knapsack
paid for skills the compaction was about to delete — and when the bill
came due it evicted the deck material instead. A weak model then designed
a deck with no deck guidance at all, silently, because the corpus on disk
was still correct. The order is now compaction first, and the wrapper
that made the wrong order one call away is gone rather than kept for
symmetry.
`deck-contract` joins the sub-agent allow-set for the same reason its two
neighbours are there, and the deck budget arm asks the single classifier
instead of comparing widths inline: the hand-rolled bound had no aspect
gate, so a tall 1920-wide page claimed the deck budget and spent it on
slide teaching it could not use.
