Conversation normalization reuses its previous result

Preparing your conversation for each request reuses the unchanged parts instead of rebuilding it.

What

Preparing the message list for a request now caches the previous input and output and reuses the unchanged prefix and suffix when the conversation grows, rather than rebuilding everything each turn.

Details
  • Only streaming assistant messages whose stop reason is still null are re-walked.
  • That pending set is pruned once it exceeds a threshold constant.
Evidence

PRUNE_PENDING_AT

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
