"""Memory-pressure bounds for the gateway's per-session AIAgent cache.
Each cached ``AIAgent`` pins its full live transcript (tens of MB on a tool-heavy
session); the LRU cap counts entries, not bytes, and the idle TTL defers eviction
for busy sessions, so neither sees actual memory use. This module supplies that
signal — own anonymous RSS against a budget derived from the cgroup limit — and
``GatewayRunner`` sheds LRU transcripts via soft eviction (rebuilt from the
persisted session next turn). Pure/read-only; config under ``agent.agent_cache``.
