docs(compact): sync the compactIfNeeded prose signature with the sessionPrefix parameter

Browse Source 
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.

## The service
`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.
