-# (headroom_compress / headroom_retrieve, registered in 82-claude_tools.sh). It is NOT a
-# traffic router: no client's ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL is pointed at it, so the Claude Desktop
-# Electron app (which force-overrides ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL — headroom #869) and every other
-# client are unaffected. Without this backend the MCP tools cannot store/retrieve compressed
-# content and no savings are ever recorded.
