Create a stacked budget-bar infographic, 16:9 landscape, for a professional practice book about coding-agent context costs.

TOPIC: What fills the context — tool outputs are often the silent budget killer. Percentages are illustrative tendencies, not measured claims.

GLOBAL STYLE:
- high-end data infographic; navy/teal/amber; off-white; flat vector; print-ready
- minimal English labels; high contrast

QUALITY GUARDRAILS:
- every visible word correctly spelled English; max ~12 short labels
- mark bar weights as "illustrative tendency" not exact science
- no brand logos; no fake invoice screenshots

Title text exactly: "What fills the context"
Subtitle: "input tokens dominate — every turn"

MAIN: one full-width stacked horizontal bar with labeled segments (relative widths only — NO percent numbers):
- "system / tool schemas" smaller slate-blue — "often cacheable"
- "AGENTS.md / skills" smaller navy
- "dialog history" medium soft blue — "grows linearly"
- "tool outputs" largest amber-red — warning icon
- "model reply → next input" smaller teal

Callout on tool outputs: "silent killer: unfiltered tests / dumps"

RIGHT countermeasure chips:
"filter / quiet"
"observation masking"
"write full log to file"

BOTTOM comparison (no invented percents):
"good signal: DoD + key files + last error"
"bad noise: politeness + random README + half CI log"

Tiny footer: "bar widths are tendencies, not measured shares"

MOOD: cost-conscious engineering figure.
ASPECT: 16:9.
NEGATIVE: no neon gauges, no vendor cost dashboards, no watermarks, no robots.

# Follow-up edit:
# Keep tool outputs as largest segment. Footer must keep tendency disclaimer.
