Honey PX

An image's token cost is fixed by its pixel area, not its character count. Dense text packs ~3 chars per image-token vs ~1 as text, so a 90k-char file read as PNG pages costs a fraction of the text read. pxpipe export (teamchong/pxpipe) does the rendering; the agent Reads the pages.

Lossy by design — misreads of exact strings are silent confabulations, not errors. The export writes a factsheet.txt carrying the verbatim precision tokens (paths, SHAs, ids, numbers) as text alongside the images; always read it too.
