docs(compact): sync the compactIfNeeded prose signature with the sessionPrefix parameter
The seam gained sessionPrefix between fullSystemPrompt and signal in 18d478bc, but the compact README member table and the compaction core-data-structures page still showed the 3-arg form and listed only agent/system/signal as what pre-step supplies. The generated service catalog was already correct; only these two prose homes drifted.

`CompactService` (`ctx.compact`, abstract — defined in [`packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts`](../../packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts)) declares two abstract methods: `compactIfNeeded(agent, fullSystemPrompt, signal)` checks token pressure and compacts an older range if the history is too large (returning `null` when nothing needs it), and `compactRegion(session, start, end, agent, signal?)` forcibly summarizes surface nodes `[start, end]` into a single replacement node. `compactIfNeeded`'s parameters are all required — the loop's `agent/pre-step` checkpoint supplies the agent, the assembled `fullSystemPrompt`, and the turn `signal`. A backend summarizing via `ctx.llm.stream()` must forward `signal` into the call's `GenerateOptions.signal`, so an abort or dispose tears down the in-flight summarization. The entire strategy — token estimation, retention policy, event sequencing, summarization — is a HOW decision owned by the implementation.

Auto-compaction runs on the serial `agent/pre-step` loop seam (fired once per step, after `turn/start` and BEFORE the step opens and its request history is derived), not the `agent/request` waterfall: compaction mutates the session surface in place — with its log-only `compact/*` records landing cleanly outside any step — and the loop derives the request from the already-compacted surface. Retention is turn-agnostic — the only structural guard is tool-pairing balance (a compacted region's edges are balanced cuts on the surface, so it never splits a step's tool-calls from their results), so a single runaway turn that alone exceeds the window compacts its own early closed steps rather than being retained verbatim. The backend that ships this (`dsh-compact-basic`) documents the retention walk, summary shrink validation, bounded re-compaction, and the crash/recoverable failure taxonomy.

| `compactIfNeeded(agent, fullSystemPrompt, signal)` | Estimate the surface-derived history size; if over the backend's threshold, compact an older range via `compactRegion`, keeping recent context intact. Returns the `CompactionResult`, or `null` if nothing needed compacting. All parameters required — the loop's `agent/pre-step` checkpoint supplies the agent, assembled `fullSystemPrompt`, and turn `signal`. A backend's summarization request is a direct `ctx.llm.stream()` call (not a loop step), so per-call interception happens at `llm/stream`. |

| `compactRegion(session, start, end, agent, signal?)` | Forcibly summarize surface nodes `[start, end]` (inclusive seqs) into a single replacement node. **Throws** if a compaction is already in progress, if `start`/`end` aren't surface nodes, or if `start` is positioned after `end` on the surface. The range is a SURFACE-POSITION span, not a numeric seq interval — after a prior replace lands a fresh high-seq summary node at the shadowed range's position, surface order no longer tracks seq order. |

`compactIfNeeded` takes a required `signal`; `compactRegion`'s is optional. A backend that summarizes via `ctx.llm.stream()` **must** forward it into the call's `GenerateOptions.signal`, so an abort or fiber dispose tears down the in-flight summarization instead of leaving an orphaned model call running past the cancellation. The session being compacted comes from the agent context; the turn that the `compact/*` events belong to is recoverable from the log (the currently-open turn), so the backend stamps it from the log rather than trusting a caller-supplied value.
