understand-output_token_limit

CALL NUMBER: deep_context_window.output_token_limit DEFINITION: The portion of context_length reserved for generated tokens; equals context_length minus input_token_budget minus overhead tokens.

Invoke this skill to understand output_token_limit down to its primitives. The RELATIVE ROOT below is the least-fixed-point closure of everything it bundles from — the full import cone, grouped by the lib each prim comes from. Projected from a prover-typed KB (MAP/SWI-Prolog consistency gate): every reference below resolves.

THE RELATIVE ROOT (the import cone, by lib)

from deep_context_window

• token_boundary_marker (d1): The positional delimiter marking the transition from input context to output generation; tokens before this marker are provided context, tokens after are to be generated.
• token_headroom (d1): The arithmetic difference between current position or token count and context_boundary; the remaining room before overflow_threshold is reached.
• sequence_position (d2): The ordinal index of a token within the full context sequence; constrained to be less than or equal to maximum_position.
• overflow_threshold (d2): The position or token count at which the model behavior shifts from normal processing to truncation or error; often slightly below context_boundary.
• context_resize_event (d3): The runtime mechanism or policy invoked when context_length must accommodate inputs exceeding current capacity; involves reallocation or overflow handling.
