fix(compact): count the logged session prefix toward token pressure
ds-review-bot critical: compactIfNeeded estimated pressure from the derived history + system prompt only, but every loop-built request also carries EpochHeader.messagePrefix in front of the history — a deployment at the window edge would under-estimate by exactly the prefix, skip compaction, and ship an over-window request. BasicCompactService now gates on estimatePressure(): the session prefix read from the log's folded header + the derived history + the system prompt. The fold is exact from the instance's second request on (and from a resumed instance's first — the previous instance logged its prefix); it is absent only before a fresh session's first request, where the history is a single prompt and compaction is moot. Compaction itself still shrinks history only — a prefix that alone approaches the window is a configuration error no compactor fixes, same as the documented single-unit-overflow stance.

The abstract contract states only WHAT compaction does; this backend owns every HOW decision:

|

- **Token estimation** — `estimateContentTokens()`: chars divided by the `charsPerToken` config (default 4) with per-block structural overhead (`text`/`reasoning` = `ceil(len/charsPerToken) + 4`, `tool-call` from name + arguments, `tool-result` recursive, unknown blocks via JSON length).

- **Token estimation** — `estimateContentTokens()`: chars divided by the `charsPerToken` config (default 4) with per-block structural overhead (`text`/`reasoning` = `ceil(len/charsPerToken) + 4`, `tool-call` from name + arguments, `tool-result` recursive, unknown blocks via JSON length). The pressure gate estimates the NEXT request via `estimatePressure()`: the logged session prefix (`EpochHeader.messagePrefix` from the header fold — the `agent/session-prefix` product rides every request in front of the history, so omitting it would under-estimate pressure by exactly the prefix) + the derived history + the system prompt.
|
||||
- **Retention policy** — `compactIfNeeded()` walks the surface nodes tail→head summing per-node token estimates, and retains the smallest tail-run of WHOLE units (a closed step, or a single no-step node such as a pre-step `user/message` or inter-step `steering/message`) whose total reaches `retainTokens`; everything older is compacted. Retention is **turn-agnostic** — turn boundaries play no role, so a single runaway turn that alone exceeds the window compacts its OWN early closed steps rather than being retained verbatim (the failure mode that motivated dropping turn-protection: a tool-heavy turn must stay compactable or the harness dies exactly when compaction is needed). The only structural guard is **tool-pairing balance**: the compacted region's edges are balanced cuts on the surface (no unanswered tool-call crosses either edge), so it never splits a step's `assistant/message` tool-calls from their `tool/result`s. When the only compactable content left is an un-splittable open tail step, it declines (returns `null`) and retries once an older step closes. **Single-unit overflow is out of scope, by design**: if one retained unit (a single closed step, or a large pasted `user/message`) ALONE exceeds the budget, compaction cannot help and the call may go out over-budget — bounding an individual unit's size is a separate concern. `compactRegion()` enforces tool-pairing balance strictly, throwing on a boundary that would split a step. `dsh-session` exports `isToolPairingBalanced` for the check.
|
||||
- **Dynamic convergence** — no static summary-length config pretends to bound what the model will write. If framing/estimator/system overhead leaves the compacted surface above threshold, `compactIfNeeded()` re-compacts the head checkpoint up to `compactionRetries` extra times; if it still cannot get below threshold, it throws. A summary whose estimated stored size is not smaller than the shadowed content fails closed before it mutates the surface.
|
||||
- **Summarization** — `summarize()`: a `GenerateOptions` request assembled via `BlockAssembler` with a fixed system prompt that asks for a structured checkpoint (Primary Request and Intent · Key Technical Concepts · Files and Code · Errors and Fixes · Pending Tasks · Current Work · Next Step · Critical Context), every section mandatory, exact paths/commands/identifiers preserved. The request is a direct one-shot `ctx.llm.stream()` call — NOT a loop step, so it does not run `agent/request` (that seam shapes the loop's conversation requests); the model comes from `summarizationModel` falling back to the agent's own, and per-call routing happens at `llm/stream` like any other direct call. `maxTokens` is the provider-side generation cap; only text blocks from the model's reply are kept before the checkpoint is stored (reasoning is dropped so private chain-of-thought never leaks into the durable summary, and a stray `tool-call` is dropped so the synthesized `user/message` summary cannot land an orphaned call with no matching `tool-result`). The compacted region is flattened to a plain-text transcript first: text and reasoning contribute their text, and every non-text block (tool-call, tool-result, plugin-added types) contributes a type-tagged placeholder (`[tool-call: name(args)]`, `[tool-result: …]`, …) so the summarizer is told what existed rather than silently dropping it.
