Truncated policy

Calder's agent started proposing replacements without inspections after a policy update. Nothing in the prompt changed. The compiled context did: it is over budget and the clause that governs the decision is the one being cut.

Brief
Customer
Calder Equipment (synthetic customer from the Production AI Agents course; every log and policy on this box is made up for the exercise)
Situation
Since the P2 policy grew two clauses on April 1, the evaluation shows proposals that skip the inspection requirement. The model is unchanged and the prompt is unchanged. The policy index reports its compiled context is over the token budget and is truncating.
Your role
You are the FDE who owns the evidence path. You have the compile logs, the policy text, the index config (bound to the live service) and the console.
Goal
Name the clause that is being cut, stop the truncation on the live system, and say what the durable fix is beyond a bigger budget.
Objectives
  1. 1.Name the clause the compiler is dropping (you commit to an answer)
  2. 2.Stop the truncation on the live policy service
  3. 3.Name the durable fix beyond a bigger budget (you commit to an answer)
