🙏 Add OmniGlyph to README — a descendant that exists because of your discovery

👋 Hey!

Before anything else: thank you. Genuinely.

pxpipe is one of those rare projects that doesn't just ship code — it ships a
discovery. You proved, with receipts instead of hype, that a production
model's vision channel can carry dense textual context at a fraction of the
token cost — and, just as importantly, that the conversion has to be decided
per-request by exact billing math, with an honest "it is lossy" section right
in the README. The dense 1-bit rendering, the profitability gate, the free
count_tokens counterfactual, the fail-closed model allowlist, the
measure-before-you-claim culture: that's a masterclass in engineering honesty,
and it deserves to be loudly credited.

I want to be fully transparent: OmniGlyph
descends directly from pxpipe. This is not an "inspired by" situation — your
codebase was the literal starting point, and I'm proud of that lineage. Your
copyright line stays in our LICENSE,
and our README carries a permanent Acknowledgments section that names
pxpipe as "the discovery this whole project is built on" — and asks our users
to come star yours.

💡 What OmniGlyph built on top of your foundation

Area	What we added
Billing math	Exact per-provider formulas measured to residual zero (Anthropic 28-px patches, OpenAI, Gemini), exported as a public library API
Benchmarks	Two re-runnable harnesses (billing-sweep, density-frontier) with append-only JSONL receipts — every README number has a receipt
Model gate	Fail-closed allowlist driven by those receipts (GPT-5.5: 0/60 reads → blocked with proof; Gemini 2.5-flash confabulates → blocked)
Ecosystem	Ships as the native compression engine inside OmniRoute (free AI gateway)
i18n	Docs translated into 41 languages + localized CLI --help
Security	CodeQL zeroed: hot-path regexes rewritten linear-time, TOCTOU file reads closed, privacy-safe defaults
Release engineering	npm trusted publishing (OIDC) with SLSA provenance + GitHub Packages mirror
Tests	~763-test suite incl. docs-integrity (link rot + attribution guards)

🤝 The ask

Would you be open to a small "Derived projects" note in your README? Even one
line would mean a lot — and it gives your users a pointer to a sibling
implementation of your idea:

🌱 Derived projects

OmniGlyph — a descendant of
pxpipe: same context-as-image core, extended with exact per-provider billing
math (measured to residual zero), re-runnable benchmark harnesses with JSONL
receipts, a fail-closed model gate, docs in 41 languages, and npm trusted
publishing with provenance. Also ships as the compression engine inside
OmniRoute.

🙏 Final words

Whether or not this gets merged: your work matters. The context-as-image idea
was yours, the proof was yours, and every token OmniGlyph saves traces back to
that discovery. Thank you for sharing it with the community — loudly and with
receipts. 🎉
