Problem

Every new agent-render link is an arx5 fragment, and the 2,000-character Discord link limit decides how much of an artifact fits. Two things in the arx5 pipeline waste that budget:

  • The context mixer codes the artifact as escaped, dictionary-substituted tuple JSON: every newline is \n, every quote is \", and common words are swapped for control bytes. Its priming corpora are raw text, so their statistics barely transfer, and the CSV column model never sees a real newline.
  • The model is a first-generation lpaq-style mixer, and the wire wastes bytes on a 4-byte coder flush, a B. marker, and a length prefix.

Change

Adds arx6 (compact tag g) and makes it the auto-emitted codec. #e and #f links decode exactly as before (arx4-codec.ts coding is untouched), and arx5 still codes anything arx6 declines.

  • Raw container: the artifact bodies verbatim, a newline, then the arx2 tuple JSON with each body replaced by its length. No JSON escaping and no dictionary substitution. The tuple goes last, so a truncated link breaks the tuple and fails to decode instead of rendering a garbled tail.
  • Stronger model (src/lib/payload/arx6-model.ts), all standard lpaq1/paq8 structure, integer-only so encode stays bit-identical across engines:
    • a line-type context
    • per-context run-model and deterministic-slot inputs
    • two first-layer mixers feeding a final mixer
    • an order-1 then order-2 APM chain
  • Fraction wire: the payload digits over the 66 chat-safe characters 0-9A-Za-z-._~ are read as one base-66 fraction landing in the arithmetic coder's final interval. That absorbs the flush, the length marker, and B.. The last digit is always alphanumeric, so linkifiers never strip it.
  • Priors: the existing curated blocks are recomposed with no new priming text. Each kind primes on the dictionary text, half of a second block, then its own block. The compositions are digest-pinned in tests.
  • Diff patches: paths repeated across diff --git/---/+++ lines and hunk-header counts derivable from the hunk body are elided under kind code D, only when the exact inverse reproduces the patch; anything else stays verbatim under d.
  • Selection: auto tries arx6 first and runs arx5 only when arx6 declines (a lone surrogate in a body) or misses the fragment budget.

Before / after

Shipped arx5 vs this branch's arx6, honest transport length (what a chat client sees), on a held-out set of 214 real artifacts from the maintainer's repositories. Every design choice was made on a separate 229-artifact dev set; the held-out set was never used to choose anything. "Fit Discord" counts fragments of at most 1,960 chars, which leaves room for [label](https://agent-render.com/#...) under 2,000.

Notes

  • #g is frozen once this ships. Golden fragments for every prior id are pinned in tests/arx6-codec.test.ts, and the Node-vs-browser determinism e2e covers an arx6 draft.
  • Decode throws on a malformed digit, invalid UTF-8, inconsistent body lengths, or a coded stream that runs out. Any of those means a corrupted link.
  • The homepage "arx showcase" still uses its precomputed arx5 link.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes the default fragment encoding path and ships a frozen wire format for all new #g links, though decode stays fail-closed and older codecs remain supported.

Overview
Introduces arx6 (compact tag g) as the default codec for new fragment links, with arx5 kept as fallback when arx6 cannot encode an envelope or does not fit the fragment budget. Existing #f / #e links still decode unchanged.

arx6 codes a raw container (artifact bodies verbatim, newline, then tuple JSON with body fields replaced by lengths—no dictionary substitution or JSON escaping in the bodies) through a stronger integer context mixer in arx6-model.ts, then emits a base-66 fraction wire over chat-safe 0-9A-Za-z-._~ (prior id m/c/j/s/n like arx5). Truncated #g links fail decode because the tuple sits at the end; optional diff patch elision (D kind) shrinks patches only when restore is exact.

Wiring: schema.ts registers the codec; fragment.ts / fragment-arx.ts decode arx6, build candidates, and skip a redundant arx5 pass when arx6 already fits budget; arx-codec.ts / arx4-codec.ts export tuple and prior helpers arx6 reuses. Docs, agent skills, link-creator UI copy, and tests (including golden #g vectors and auto-selection expectations) are updated to match.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added ARX6 support for shorter links, using the new #g fragment tag. Automatic encoding now prefers ARX6 and falls back to ARX5 when ARX6 cannot encode the content or fit within the link limit.
  • Compatibility
    • Existing ARX5 #f links continue to decode. Truncated ARX6 links fail to decode.

arx5 codes escaped, dictionary-substituted tuple JSON, so its raw-text
priors barely transfer and the column model never sees a real newline.
arx6 (compact tag g) codes the artifact bodies verbatim followed by the
tuple, with a stronger integer-only context mixer (line-type context,
run and deterministic inputs, two-layer mixing, APM chain), recomposed
curated priors, reversible diff header elision, and a base-66 fraction
wire over the chat-safe unreserved set that absorbs the coder flush and
length marker.

On a held-out set of 214 real artifacts it is 14.0% shorter than arx5
and shorter on every one, at roughly 3x the coding time. Truncated #g
links fail to decode instead of rendering a garbled tail. #e and #f
links decode unchanged, and auto falls back to arx5 when arx6 declines
an envelope or misses the fragment budget.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 431ba

ARX6 becomes the default link codec, and ARX5 remains the fallback. The remaining open item in this review is documentation that does not fully describe when ARX5 runs. It can be fixed with a small text edit.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 431ba

New links use a new format while older links remain readable. The inspected validation and rendering controls are preserved. Remaining uncertainty concerns deployment compatibility and behavior outside the inspected sharing path.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The established attacker-controlled path reaches artifact presentation in the visiting browser. ARX6 feeds the same envelope consumers as older codecs; the inspected relationships do not establish a new identity, tenant, privileged-tool, or data-store transition. This scope does not establish the absence of additional consumers outside the inspected path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — ARX6 rejects unknown prior identifiers, invalid fraction characters, malformed UTF-8, unsupported artifact kinds, invalid body lengths, and incomplete body coverage. Elided diff restoration is budgeted and accepted only when re-elision reproduces the stored patch. Successful reconstruction still crosses the shared tuple and envelope validation boundary.
  • observed — The inspected downstream presentation controls predate ARX6 and remain on its consumer path: Markdown uses sanitization and skips raw HTML, code is displayed through syntax highlighting, and Mermaid is configured with strict security. The new transport does not bypass these controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Asset skew fails closed on decoding and produces a retryable asset-unavailable response rather than a guessed envelope. Encoding can degrade to a correctly identified dictionary-derived prior. Regression definitions cover malformed containers, diff amplification, invalid wire characters, truncation, and browser/Node link equivalence; their presence is not evidence of executed results.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep g decoding available when reverting new-link emission, and treat the shipped model, prior composition, and container rules as immutable under that tag. Future incompatible changes should use another tag so recovery does not invalidate already shared links.

WARNING: Clear non-string diff bodies before reusing their slots as lengths

Skipping a non-string body leaves its original value in the tuple, but rawContainerToEnvelope treats every non-null body slot as a length. For example, {id: "p", kind: "diff", patch: 1, oldContent: "ab", newContent: "cd"} is accepted by the existing runtime guard and normalizer because the old/new pair is valid. Explicit arx6 encoding produces abcd\n[3,["d","p",1,2,-1]], which decodes successfully as patch: "a", oldContent: "bc", newContent: "d". This can corrupt an untouched diff when a user edits another artifact in a plain/deflate bundle and reshares it with arx6. The previous tuple decoder discarded the non-string optional patch without shifting either content body. Reject or clear non-string body fields before emitting the length tuple.

- `arx4` - **deprecated emit.** ARX2's tuple/overlay pipeline with Brotli replaced by the deterministic context mixer, plus a prior id char, but it kept arx3's broken visible-length baseBMP policy. Existing `#e` links still decode. Do not mint new arx4 links.
- `arx5` - ARX 4.5: the sane mixer codec. Same context mixer, priors, and wire shapes as arx4 (`arx4-codec.ts`), scored with ARX2's honest serialized transport length for every wire including baseBMP. The compact `f` tag identifies arx5. The payload still carries one extra leading char, the prior id (`m`, `c`, `j`, `s`, or `n`); `m`/`c`/`j` need `/arx4-priors.json` (pre-compressed `/arx4-priors.json.br` tried first). If the asset is unavailable the encoder falls back to `s`. Auto-selection prefers arx5, then arx2. It is roughly 100x slower than Brotli, which is why the whole arx family is async-only.

- `arx6` - the emitted mixer codec. Same prior ids and curated corpora as arx5, with its own context mixer (`arx6-model.ts`: arx5's model plus a line-type context, run and deterministic-slot inputs, a two-layer mixer, and an adaptive probability map chain) coding the raw container described under the tuple fields below instead of substituted tuple JSON. Each curated prior id primes on the dictionary text, the first half of a second curated block (json for `m`, markdown for `c` and `j`), then its own block. The wire reads the fragment digits as one base-66 fraction over `0-9A-Za-z-._~`, so a fragment is `g` + prior id + digits, with no length marker and no `B.` marker; the encoder picks the fewest digits that land inside the arithmetic coder's final interval. The last digit is always alphanumeric, because linkifiers strip a trailing `.`, `~`, `-`, or `_`. About 14% shorter than arx5 on a held-out corpus of 214 real artifacts from the maintainer's repositories (shorter on every artifact in that corpus; the corpus is not committed), at roughly 3x arx5's coding time. Auto-selection skips arx5 once arx6 fits the fragment budget, so for unusual high-entropy text auto can return an arx6 link slightly longer than arx5 would have been. An artifact body holding a lone surrogate cannot survive UTF-8, so arx6 declines that envelope and auto-selection falls back to arx5. Auto-selection prefers arx6, then arx2.

WARNING: Specify the mixed-radix fraction used by the actual wire

The implementation does not interpret these digits as an ordinary base-66 fraction with a restricted final digit. fractionDenominator and fractionDigitsToBytes use base 62 for the final position: for an n-digit wire, base-66 prefix value P, and final digit d, the fraction is (62 * P + d) / (62 * 66^(n - 1)), not (66 * P + d) / 66^n. These values differ whenever d is nonzero, so an external decoder following the documented protocol reconstructs a different arithmetic code for valid links. Document the mixed-radix formula here and in the matching protocol descriptions without changing the already-pinned implementation.

SUGGESTION: Preserve the decoded-too-large error classification on restoration

The oversized restoration case already present in tests/arx6-codec.test.ts (a 1,000-character path and 300 elided --- headers) reaches this limit. Throwing a generic Error makes decodeFragmentAsync return invalid-json with a dictionary-version hint instead of the existing decoded-too-large result and size-limit message. Throw ArxDecodedPayloadTooLargeError here, as the other decoding budget guards do, so callers and the viewer receive the actual failure reason. The current test only checks ok === false and does not catch this error-code mismatch.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 4/5

[High risk] Adds a new compression codec to the link format.

The PR should address the arx5 selection gap before merging, since a shorter chat-ready link can be omitted.

Fix All in CodexFindings

  1. P1 Shorter chat links get skipped ▶
  2. P2 Model allocates memory eagerly ▶
Summary

The PR adds arx6 as the default compact fragment codec, using raw artifact bodies, a stronger context model and a base-66 fraction wire while retaining older codec decoding.

  • It also adds guarded diff-patch elision, prior composition, codec routing and compatibility tests.
  • The arx5 skip can omit a shorter chat-ready candidate, and the default model has a substantial eager memory cost.

- `arx6` is the emitted mixer codec. It uses the same prior ids and curated corpora as arx5 (each id also primes on half of a second curated block) and runs a stronger context mixer (`arx6-model.ts`) over a raw container: the bodies verbatim, a newline, then the arx2 tuple JSON with each artifact body swapped for its length, with no JSON escaping and no overlay or dictionary substitution. The wire reads the payload digits (`0-9A-Za-z-._~`, last digit alphanumeric) as one base-66 fraction, the shortest that lands in the arithmetic coder's final interval, emitted with the compact `g` tag. A truncated link garbles the tuple at the end of the container and fails to decode. Envelopes with a lone surrogate in a body cannot survive UTF-8, so arx6 declines them and arx5 codes them instead.
- packed wire mode (`p: 1`) shortens transport keys before compression, then unpacks back to the standard envelope during decode
- automatic async codec selection tries `arx5 -> arx2 -> arx -> deflate -> lz -> plain`; arx compares packed + non-packed candidates, while arx2/arx5 use tuple envelopes. Explicit `{ codec: "arx3" }` or `{ codec: "arx4" }` still encodes for back-compat.
- automatic async codec selection tries `arx6 -> arx5 -> arx2 -> arx -> deflate -> lz -> plain`, where arx5 only runs when arx6 declines the envelope, since each mixer pass is the slowest step of link creation; arx compares packed + non-packed candidates, while arx2/arx5/arx6 use tuple envelopes. Explicit `{ codec: "arx3" }` or `{ codec: "arx4" }` still encodes for back-compat.

Make the docs describe when arx5 runs the same way. buildCandidatesAsync in src/lib/payload/fragment.ts runs arx5 in two cases. The first case is when arx6 declines the envelope (a lone surrogate in a body). The second case is when the arx6 candidate's transportLength exceeds min(targetMaxFragmentLength ?? MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH, MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH). CHANGELOG.md states both cases. These doc sites state only the first case, or leave arx5 out of the priority order.

  • docs/architecture.md#L100-L100: change "arx5 only runs when arx6 declines the envelope" to "arx5 only runs when arx6 declines the envelope or misses the fragment budget".
  • docs/payload-format.md#L126-L126: make the same change to the default async priority line.
  • docs/payload-format.md#L35-L35: remove the last sentence "Auto-selection prefers arx6, then arx2.", because it leaves out arx5.

As per path instructions: verify alignment across README.md, docs/architecture.md, docs/payload-format.md, docs/deployment.md, docs/dependency-notes.md, docs/testing.md, and skills/agent-render-linking/SKILL.md.

Update the codec-selection documentation to describe both conditions for arx5
fallback: at docs/architecture.md lines 100-100 and docs/payload-format.md lines
126-126, say arx5 runs when arx6 declines the envelope or misses the fragment
budget; at docs/payload-format.md lines 35-35, remove the final sentence that
lists only arx6 and arx2 as auto-selection preferences.

P1 Shorter chat links get skipped

When arx6 fits the 8,192-character fragment budget, this skips arx5 even if arx5 would make a shorter link. For high-entropy artifacts near Discord’s 2,000-character message limit, link creation can therefore warn that the selected markdown link is too long without trying an arx5 link that would fit. The Discord warning is calculated only after the candidates have been selected.

P2 Model allocates memory eagerly

The new default model allocates roughly 45 MB of typed-array storage for each coding pass, even for a tiny artifact. Encoding and decoding each construct a fresh model, so this raises memory pressure on constrained browsers. Allocating less-used tables on demand would reduce that cost.
