Add pxpipe as an experimental fifth Token Saver: Claude-format request
bodies above a configurable size threshold are rendered as dense PNGs
via the pxpipe-proxy library API (transformAnthropicMessages) before
dispatch, cutting estimated input tokens by ~35-60% on token-dense
contexts. Integration follows the Headroom pattern: applied to the final
body in chatCore just before dispatch, fail-open on any error/timeout.
Managed npm install into DATA_DIR/pxpipe, dynamic loader with per-version
cache-bust, JSONL event log with rotation, /api/pxpipe/* endpoints, Token
Saver card (marked experimental) + /dashboard/pxpipe page, and per-request
Activated/Skipped annotation in Request Details. Disabled by default.
Treat configured Headroom proxy as running when its /health endpoint
responds, even if local headroom CLI is not installed. Dashboard
Start/Stop stays limited to local loopback proxies while external
Docker sidecars can be enabled via HEADROOM_URL.
Closes#1948

Build on the optional Headroom Token Saver from Carmelo Campos
(PR: feat: add optional Headroom token saver). Add managed start/stop
of the local headroom proxy from the dashboard, install detection,
status probing, and a simplified Token Saver UI.
- detect headroom CLI + python>=3.10, probe proxy /health
- spawn/stop proxy as a detached, pid-tracked process
- /api/headroom/{status,start,stop} routes, gated local-only in dashboardGuard
- one-click Start/Stop Headroom modal, no manual config needed
- claude<->openai shape conversion for /v1/compress via 9router translators
Thanks to Carmelo Campos (@carmelogunsroses) for the original Headroom integration.
