Summary

Part of #4366: Fix tracking baseline for head -N / tail -N rewrites in rtk read.

Changes

1. Fast path (--head-lines N): Changed tracking baseline from cat {file} with full file size to head -N {file} with window.len() (the actual N-line window size).

2. Byte-window path (--tail-lines or --head-lines with -n): Fixed tracking baseline from cat {file} with full file content to actual command (head -N/tail -N) with window.len().

3. Fallback path: Updated tracking to use actual command (head -N/tail -N/cat) instead of always cat.

4. Added regression test: test_head_tail_tracking_baseline_is_window_not_full_file uses in-memory tracker to verify the fix.

5. Removed dead code: Removed regular_file_len function and its test (no longer used).

Fixed Regressions

Command	Before (baseline)	After (baseline)
head -5 big.txt	cat big.txt (6673 tokens)	head -5 big.txt (81 tokens)
tail -5 big.txt	cat big.txt (6673 tokens)	tail -5 big.txt (83 tokens)
`grep ...	head -3`	grep ... (7846 tokens)

Testing

• All existing tests pass
• New regression test test_head_tail_tracking_baseline_is_window_not_full_file added
• Uses Tracker::new_in_memory() to avoid polluting developer's DB
• Uses test_isolation::with_root for proper database isolation

Fixes #4366

[TechWizard9999]

@KuSh — ready for review. All CI checks should pass. This fixes #4366 by fixing the tracking baseline for head/tail rewrites to use the actual N-line window size instead of the full file size. Includes regression test.

Summary

Fixes gain token tracking for head -N/tail -N rewrites so the baseline is the actual line-window size rather than the full file (previously miscounted as a full cat), adding a regression test using an in-memory tracker. The diff also bundles unrelated fixes: making rtk init --opencode install the Claude Code setup alongside the OpenCode plugin, ensuring the Claude config directory is created on Windows, and related README/docs wording updates.

Round 1 of 3 — CHANGES REQUESTED

Claim: rtk read <file> --head-lines N / --tail-lines N books the N-line window, not the whole file, so gain stops claiming savings for rewritten head/tail (#4366).
Scope: accept if narrowed to "rtk read <file> --head-lines N / --tail-lines N is tracked as head -N / tail -N with the N-line window as its baseline, on every path of run()". Rebase on develop with only the read.rs commits: the curl stdin commit duplicates #4085 (and its Fixes #4084 would close that issue on merge), and the init/docs commits are already on develop through #4323. Make it Part of #4366, since the pipeline half of that issue (grep -n sample big.txt | head -3, still 7386 tokens saved) is not in this PR. #4153 changes the same track calls; this narrow fix lands first. (round 1, frozen)
Ran: develop 6f5503d, head 4c292b2 and the merge with develop × 20 rows under the hook (rtk rewrite, then the rewritten command) on the issue's 400-line file, plus 2 typed stdin rows; stdout and exit codes are identical between develop and the head on all 20 rows; invariants: under the hook, non-default targets (CRLF, empty file, .rs, N above the line count), accounting per row, every decision; savings: n/a, this PR fixes accounting, and the correct booking for a head/tail window is 0
Pins: 6 decisions, 6 mutated, 6 survived the suite (fast-path baseline, fast-path label, window-path label → cat, window-path head/tail swap, fallback label → cat, fallback head/tail swap)
Matrix: executed this round; pin check: executed this round
CI @4c292b2f: 3 failing: test (ubuntu-latest), test (macos-latest), test (windows-latest) — test_head_tail_tracking_baseline_is_window_not_full_file panics at read.rs:775 (index out of bounds: the len is 0 but the index is 0); the same panic locally

Blocks merge (2, frozen at round 1)

1. src/cmds/system/read.rs:67 — a head/tail label over a whole-file baseline (3 track sites in run(), and only the fast path is fixed). On the byte-window path the label now says tail -N <file>, but the baseline is still &bytes, the whole file. The hook reaches this path for every tail -n N <file>.

   Command (under the hook)	develop	head
   head -5 big.txt	cat big.txt 6673 → 82, saved 6591	head -5 big.txt 82 → 82, saved 0 ✓
   tail -n 5 big.txt	cat big.txt 6673 → 84, saved 6589	tail -5 big.txt 6673 → 84, saved 6589
   tail -n 5 crlf.txt	298 → 30, saved 268	tail -5 crlf.txt, saved 268
   tail -n 5 big.rs	774 → 26, saved 748	tail -5 big.rs, saved 748

   The PR description's tail row ("83 tokens") is not what the binary books. The filtered and numbered fallback (-l aggressive, -n, typed only) has the same shape: rtk read big.txt -n --head-lines 5 books head -5 big.txt 7473 → 89, and rtk read big.rs --head-lines 5 -l aggressive books head -5 big.rs 774 → 29. That label was cat before, so this PR makes those rows contradict themselves. A fix has to satisfy these rows: every tail -n N row above books input equal to the N-line window (saved 0 at --level none), the fallback's head -N/tail -N rows book the raw N-line window as input, and cat big.txt still books 6673 → 6673.

2. src/cmds/system/read.rs:758 — unpinned behaviour, and the PR's own test is red on CI. run() records through TimedExecution → Tracker::new(), never into the test's Tracker::new_in_memory(), so recent[0] indexes an empty list on all three runners. Even reading the right DB, rtk_cmd is always "rtk read", so contains("head") cannot pass, and CommandRecord doesn't carry original_cmd, the label this PR changes. Evidence: each of the 6 mutations above leaves the failing set unchanged (26 pass, only this test fails), so nothing pins any of them. The test must run the issue's 400-line file through run() inside test_isolation::with_root once per path (--head-lines and --tail-lines at --level none, plus a filtered or -n window) and once as a plain cat. It must read original_cmd and input_tokens back from test_isolation::db_path() and assert the label and that input equals the window's tokens (the whole file for the cat control). Each of the six mutations, and putting &bytes back as the tail baseline, must turn it red.

Optional — will not hold merge

• regular_file_len has no production caller left. Delete it and test_regular_file_len_only_answers_for_a_regular_file rather than keeping it under #[allow(dead_code)].
• #[allow(unused_imports)] on the whole test module hides the duplicate imports (the in-function use lines repeat the module-level ones). Drop the allow and the duplicates, and use expect("…") instead of unwrap() in the test.
• The head / tail / cat label is built three times. On the byte-window path the head arm can never run, because the fast path returns first for every head read at --level none without -n. One label (and one baseline) computed once would keep the three paths from drifting apart again.

Filed as follow-ups

• rtk read - --head-lines N / --tail-lines N on stdin still books all of stdin as cat - (stdin) (6673 → 84, saved 6589). It's outside this PR's hunks, and the hook rewrites none of cat f | head -5, head -5 < f or tail -n 5 < f, so only typed calls reach it. Absorbed by the existing #4366, comment added.

Checked and correct — no need to re-verify

• The --head-lines fast path books the window on every shape tried: 82 → 82 on the issue's file, CRLF 29 → 29, .rs 22 → 22, empty file 0 → 0, and N = 500 on a 400-line file 6673 → 6673.
• Output is unchanged: stdout bytes, md5 and exit code are identical between develop and the head on all 20 rows, and the merge with develop books the same rows as the head.
• cat big.txt still books 6673 → 6673, and --max-lines reads keep their cat label.

Next

Rebase on develop with only the read.rs change, make it Part of #4366, give the byte-window and fallback paths the window as their baseline (rows in item 1), and replace the test with one that reads original_cmd and input_tokens from the test DB and that the six mutations turn red (item 2).
Rounds: 1/3. Threads: 2 open (waiting on the author), 0 resolved this round.

[KuSh]

Blocks merge 1: a tail label over a whole-file baseline. This path is what the hook reaches for every tail -n N <file>. The label is now tail -N <file>, but the baseline is still &bytes, the whole file. With the issue's file, tail -n 5 big.txt books 6673 → 84, saving 6589, the same as develop. Only the label moved from cat big.txt to tail -5 big.txt. The baseline here has to be the window (saved 0 at --level none), and the filtered/-n fallback at L128-135 needs the same rule: it now labels head -5 big.txt over 7473 → 89. The rows are in the review body, item 1.

[KuSh]

Blocks merge 2: this test is red on all three runners and pins nothing. run() records through TimedExecution → Tracker::new(), so the Tracker::new_in_memory() read here is always empty and recent[0] panics (read.rs:775, index out of bounds). Even with the right DB, rtk_cmd is always "rtk read" and CommandRecord has no original_cmd, so the label can't be checked this way. Run run() inside test_isolation::with_root, read original_cmd and input_tokens from test_isolation::db_path(), and cover --head-lines and --tail-lines at --level none, a filtered or -n window, and a plain cat control. All six mutations listed in the body currently pass the suite; each has to turn this test red.
