rtk (token-optimizing Claude Code proxy) now installs fleet-wide via the committed mise baseline instead of machine-local config.toml, so a fresh checkout gets it. Document the one-time `rtk init -g` step in 2026_REFRESH.md; left manual since it writes to ~/.claude/ (unmanaged by chezmoi).
One shared template (.chezmoitemplates/rtk-config.toml) rendered to ~/.config/rtk/ on linux and ~/Library/Application Support/rtk/ on darwin (rtk ignores XDG there); the unused path is suppressed per-OS in .chezmoiignore. Entries are .tmpl so symlink mode writes real files — sandboxed rtk must read its own config (same lesson as ~/.gitattributes). The config itself dials the hook back to where filtering pays off: - exclude rg/grep/curl/diff: rtk grep backends to BSD grep and swallows its errors with exit 0 (silent empty results); grep was 254/287 of all parse failures; curl saved 2 tokens on 138K input; diff failed to parse 28 of 36 calls and strips hunk context - git restricted to commit/fetch (88%/66% avg savings) via transparent_prefixes: compact filters stripped needed output, e.g. git stash SHAs, forcing follow-up rev-parse calls

What
Two commits making rtk consistent across the fleet:
rtk init -gdocumented in 2026_REFRESH.md..chezmoitemplates/rtk-config.toml) rendered to~/.config/rtk/config.tomlon linux and~/Library/Application Support/rtk/config.tomlon darwin (rtk hard-wires the Library path and ignores XDG on macOS — verified empirically). The unused path is suppressed per-OS in.chezmoiignore. Both entries are.tmplso symlink-mode chezmoi writes real files; sandboxed rtk invocations must be able to read the config (same ELOOP lesson as~/.gitattributes).Why the dialed-back filters
Analysis of rtk's history DB (1,498 commands) + Claude session transcripts:
rtk grepbackends to BSD grep on macOS (even with ripgrep on PATH) and swallows its usage errors with exit 0 → silent empty results; caused a real derailment (rg--globin a dep-upgrade session). grep was also 254/287 of all hook parse failures. Lifetime savings: 6.1K.rtk curl: 2 tokens saved on 138K input.rtk diff: failed to parse 28 of 36 calls; condensing strips hunk context.rtk gitcompact filters stripped needed output (e.g.git stashSHA → extra rev-parse round-trip), so git is restricted tocommit/fetch(88%/66% avg savings) viatransparent_prefixes.Verify any rewrite decision with
rtk hook check "<cmd>".Verification
chezmoi diff --source <worktree>against the live darwin config: empty (byte-identical render, apply is a no-op on this machine).chezmoi managed: Library chain managed with matching perms (no chmod churn);.config/rtkcorrectly ignored on darwin.rtk hook check: rg/grep/curl/diff + non-commit/fetch git pass through; commit/fetch/ls/gh/ps/vitest still rewrite.
