ContextForge v2.0: production-grade shared context compiler

## New Components (BUG-001/003/005 + IMPROVEMENT-001/002/003/004/006)

### Token Counting (BUG-001)
- contextforge/token_counter.py: Real Qwen3 tokenizer via transformers AutoTokenizer
- Replaces heuristic len(text.split()) // 4 * 3 with accurate tokenization
- compute_kv_vram_bytes() calculates MI300X KV cache requirements
- Async variants for hot-path non-blocking

### VRAM Monitoring (BUG-003 + IMPROVEMENT-004)
- contextforge/metrics/vram_monitor.py: Zero-overhead PyRSMI native bindings
- Replaces subprocess.run(["rocm-smi"]) with native C bindings
- get_pressure() returns 0.0-1.0 for VRAM utilization
- get_eviction_mode() maps pressure to 5 modes: relaxed/normal/pressure/critical/emergency
- Fallback to /sys/class/drm sysfs if PyRSMI unavailable

### Deduplication (IMPROVEMENT-001 + BUG-005)
- contextforge/dedup/lsh_engine.py: LSH Token Matcher engine
- SimHash on actual token IDs (not word-level strings)
- Aligns to vLLM PagedAttention block boundaries (block_size=16)
- get_shared_prefix_hash() provides routing hints to vLLM
- contextforge/dedup/faiss_index.py: FAISS ANN index
- O(log n) approximate nearest neighbor search vs O(n) Python loop
- IndexFlatIP for <1K contexts, upgrade path to IndexIVFFlat
- contextforge/dedup/cosine.py: NumPy vectorized cosine similarity

### Cache (IMPROVEMENT-002)
- contextforge/registry/vram_aware_cache.py: VRAM-pressure-aware eviction
- 5 eviction modes responding to actual GPU memory pressure
- LRU/LFU hybrid with token-count-based priority
- EMERGENCY mode blocks new registrations

### Compression (IMPROVEMENT-003)
- contextforge/compression/budget_manager.py: Segment-type-aware compression
- SYSTEM_PROMPT/RECENT_TURNS: 0.0 (NO compression - prefix cache critical)
- RETRIEVED_DOCS: 0.25, CONV_HISTORY: 0.40, TOOL_OUTPUT: 0.50, COT_REASONING: 0.07
- 512 token minimum to avoid compression overhead on short segments

### Observability (Section 5)
- contextforge/metrics/prometheus_metrics.py: Prometheus metrics stack
- Cache hits/misses, VRAM pressure, compression ratios, LSH match confidence, TTFT

## Tests Updated
- tests/test_dedup.py: LSHTokenMatcher + FAISSContextIndex tests
- tests/test_registry.py: VRAMAwareCache tests
- tests/test_compressor.py: CompressionBudgetManager tests

## Key Constraints
- System prompt MUST be byte-for-byte identical (vLLM prefix caching)
- SBERT similarity != KV cache compatibility (LSH block hashing required)
- Zero subprocess calls in hot path (PyRSMI only)

+"""Adaptive Compression Budget Manager - IMPROVEMENT-003.
+
+Replaces flat rate=0.5 with segment-type-aware compression budgets.
+Critical rule: NEVER compress the shared system prefix (breaks vLLM prefix caching).
+
+Compression budgets by segment type:
+- SYSTEM_PROMPT: 0.0 (NO COMPRESSION - must be token-identical)
+- RETRIEVED_DOCS: 0.25 (high info density, factual content)
+- CONV_HISTORY: 0.40 (resolved context, safe to compress)
+- RECENT_TURNS: 0.0 (NO COMPRESSION - immediate relevance)
+- TOOL_OUTPUT: 0.50 (artifact refs break at high compression)
+- COT_REASONING: 0.07 (LLMLingua-2 preserves reasoning well)
+- RAG_CHUNK: 0.40 (already filtered by reranker)
