"""Adaptive input-token budget for the agent loop (#1170).
The agent soft-trims its input context to ``agent_input_token_budget`` (default
6000). The old computation was ``min(context_length or budget, budget)``, which
made the 6000 default a hard ceiling for *every* model — so a 128K or 1M context
model was silently capped at 6000 input tokens even though it can hold far more.
This derives the effective budget from the model's discovered context window when
the user has NOT set an explicit budget, while still honouring an explicit setting
exactly (clamped to the window). Pure and side-effect free so it is unit-testable.

Args:
configured: the value read from settings (may be the default).
context_length: the model's discovered context window. Pass 0 when the
window is unknown / only a bare fallback — auto-scaling then stays
conservative instead of trusting an unproven window (review on #4122).
explicit: True if the user set a NON-default budget. The default value is
the "auto" sentinel (scale to the window); any other value is an
explicit cap. (A deliberately-chosen default can't be distinguished
from a materialized default by value, so the default reads as auto.)
Rules:
- Explicit user budget is honoured exactly, only clamped to the model's
window when that window is known (the user's deliberate choice wins;
``hard_max`` is an auto-budget ceiling only — see #1230).
- Otherwise (auto), scale to ``headroom`` of the context window, capped at
``hard_max`` — so long-context models use their capacity.
- When the window is unknown (context_length <= 0), use the conservative
``default`` budget and do NOT scale off the fallback.

settings *presence* — the settings-save path materializes every default into
settings.json, so a persisted default must still read as auto (the regression
#4121 / #1230 are about). Centralised here so the materialized-default contract
is unit-testable and can't silently regress to a presence check.
