 Special thanks to **[Troglodita](https://github.com/leninejunior/troglodita)** by **[Lenine Júnior](https://github.com/leninejunior)** — the PT-BR token compression project ("por que gastar muitos tokens quando poucos resolve?") whose Portuguese-native rules power OmniRoute's pt-BR language pack: pleonasm reduction, filler removal tuned for Brazilian Portuguese grammar, and technical abbreviations for the dev BR community.
