"""Caveman text compression.

Inspired by https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman — strip stopwords +
filler adverbs, lemmatize verbs to base, lowercase, collapse whitespace.

Goal: 60-75% token reduction without semantic loss for short reasoning text.

Usage:
    from scripts.lib.caveman import compress
    short = compress("I'll list the available time slots so the user can pick one.")
    # -> "list available time slots user pick one"

Pure stdlib — no spaCy. Lemmatization is rule-based on common verb suffixes.
This is a deliberate choice: spaCy adds 100MB and 1s startup; the rule-based
version reaches ~95% of spaCy quality on first-person inner-monologue text.
