內文本身是人打的字,所以維持 `user:` 標籤,只剝掉開頭與結尾的 harness 說明文字;
不算 turn,因為 harness 自己的說明就寫著這則訊息落在正在跑的那一輪裡面,不是另開一輪。

**追加樣本(2026-09-23)**:掃 2026-09-02 之後修改過的 1,286 個 transcript
(其中 791 個是 subagent,含新的 `subagents/workflows/wf_*/` 層),CLI 2.1.238–2.1.280。
「啟動一輪」照第 5 項的量法。找到的新形狀:

| 訊息開頭 | 則數 | 啟動一輪 | 呈現 | 算 turn |
|---|---:|---:|---|---|
| `[Workflow harness — user request]` + 縮排的原始請求 | 108 | 0% | `[workflow: user request]` + 去縮排內文 | 否 |
| `[Workflow harness — computed task]` + 縮排的 script 指令 | 108 | 88% | `[workflow: computed task]` + 去縮排內文 | 是 |
| `[handback-send-enforce]` | 20 | 100% | `[nudge: handback]` | 是 |
| `Your response above was cut off mid-stream`(兩種措辭) | 6 | 83% | `[nudge: cut off]` | 是 |

- 兩段 workflow 框架是每個 workflow agent transcript 的第 1、2 筆,中間沒有 assistant。
改之前兩筆都算 turn,每個 workflow agent 的第一輪被數兩次。兩筆都沒有 `promptSource`、
`origin`、`isMeta`,只能比對框架前綴;框架本身寫明縮排規則,harness 也靠這個前綴辨識框架。
- `[structured-output-enforce]`(09-02 前就有,8 則)跟 `[handback-send-enforce]` 同一族,
一起處理成 `[nudge: structured output]`。兩者都比對方括號標籤,不比對後面的散文,
沿用第 4 項的理由。
- `Stop hook feedback:\n[<條件>]: <評估>`(09-02 前後共 74 則,啟動一輪 15/16),
壓成 `[goal feedback]` + 內文,算 turn。這跟第 5 項的 stop hook 通知不同:
那則是 hook 啟用的通知,這則是 hook 擋下停止、要求 agent 繼續做。
- 單數的 `Background agent "<描述>" was stopped by the user.` 沒被
`^(\d+) background agents?` 抓到。補上之後發現單複數都帶 `promptSource=system`,
ADR-009「帶 `promptSource` 就算 turn」的規則讓它們一律算 turn,實測卻是 0/7,
跟第 5 項量到的 0% 一致。`CountsAsTurn()` 對 agents-stopped 提早回 false,
是 ADR-009 規則的例外,同 7a53260 對 sdk 的處理。turn 少算了,含這類通知的 session 的 K 會變大。
- teammate 訊息裡新增 `[Subagent hand-back] … The report follows:` 前言
(69 則,2.1.271 起,約 400 字元),分類本來就對,`CompactTeammateMessage` 改成剝掉前言、
報告去縮排。
- `fork-context-ref` entry type(09-02 後 8 筆),併入第 1 項的白名單。
- 壓縮續接前面多了 `<artifact-content-authored-by-others/>` 標籤(2.1.274),
連同另外兩個分錯的樣本,見第 7 項。

## 1. `noiseTypes` 漏了 8 個 CLI 後來才加的 entry type

`noiseTypes` 是手寫的白名單,收 13 個型別。實測出現、不在名單裡的有 8 個:

這是第 2 項同一種病的另一個實例:harness 早就給了結構欄位,reader 還在比對字串。
teammate message 沒有這種欄位(頂層欄位與一般 user 訊息完全相同),所以第 4 項只能留在字串比對。

2026-09 之後部分 teammate message 帶了 `origin.kind=peer`,但覆蓋率低:
09-02 之後 1,370 則 teammate 標籤訊息只有 83 則帶,subagent 層大多沒有,還不能取代標籤比對。

## 7. 壓縮續接的偵測被比對順序打敗

`classifyHarnessUserMessage` 先用 `Contains` 找 teammate 標籤和 `<task-notification>`,
最後才用 `HasPrefix` 認壓縮續接。摘要內文會重述前一段對話,前一段對話裡有這些標籤,
摘要就先被別的分支接走。09-02 之後 37 則壓縮續接裡分錯 3 則:

| session | CLI | 原因 | 結果 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `9fb49e85` | 2.1.274 | 開頭多了 `<artifact-content-authored-by-others/>` | 前綴落空,以 `user:` 全文渲染 |
| `b566530e` | 2.1.257 | 內文引用 teammate 標籤 | 判成 teammate,沒有 `[compaction summary]` 標頭 |
| `e04de0c1` | 2.1.265 | 內文引用 `<task-notification>` | 判成 task-notification,同上 |

三者 turn 計數都對,K 不受影響,錯在渲染。

37 則全部帶頂層 `isCompactSummary: true`。決定:reader 先看這個欄位,命中就是壓縮續接,
排在所有標籤比對之前;文字前綴留作沒有這個欄位的舊 transcript 的備援,
並把備援也移到標籤比對之前。跟第 6 項同一種病:harness 早就給了結構欄位。

## 沒有解決的

**`turnCompanion` 還沒拿來判斷 turn**。09-02 之後 381 則帶 `turnCompanion: true`,
全部是 `isMeta` 且沒有 `promptSource`(skill body、圖片佔位符、no-visible-output nudge、
cut-off 提醒等),語意是「這筆不是發起這一輪的」,比 `isMeta` 貼近 `CountsAsTurn()` 要的東西。
但 ADR-009 否決過 `isMeta` 當第二來源,要採用這個欄位得另寫一份 ADR 處理兩者的關係。

**`turnOrigin` 還沒用**。2.1.278 起出現,值有 `human`、`sdk`、`task_notification`、`peer`,
標的是「這一輪由誰發起」而不是「這則由誰寫」(`<bash-stdout>` 和壓縮續接也標 `human`)。

**slash / bang command 不算 turn**,維持改動前的行為。
`/goal` 這類 invocation 會觸發一整輪工作,照第 5 項的定義應該算;
但它在 transcript 裡是三筆 entry(`<command-name>` marker、`<command-message>` 注入、
