// Context Monitor - PostToolUse/AfterTool hook (Gemini uses AfterTool)
// Reads context metrics from the statusline bridge file and injects
// warnings when context usage is high. This makes the AGENT aware of
// context limits (the statusline only shows the user).
//
// How it works:
// 1. The statusline hook writes metrics to /tmp/claude-ctx-{session_id}.json
// 2. This hook reads those metrics after each tool use
// 3. When remaining context drops below thresholds, it injects a warning
// as additionalContext, which the agent sees in its conversation
//
// Thresholds:
// WARNING (remaining <= 35%): Agent should wrap up current task
// CRITICAL (remaining <= 25%): Agent should stop immediately and save state
//
// Debounce: 5 tool uses between warnings to avoid spam
// Severity escalation bypasses debounce (WARNING -> CRITICAL fires immediately)
