Address @tianyicui's minor-revision review on PR #110: - Make every BasicCompactConfig knob required except `auto` (defaults true): there is no data yet to justify default thresholds/budgets, so a consumer states each value explicitly. Drop the DEFAULTS export and the constructor's `= {}` default; example cordis.yml, the compaction e2e, the README, and every test construction site now pass a complete config (tests route through a `cfg()` helper). - Add a TODO on estimateContentTokens: char/4 is coarse; replace with a real tokenizer or post-response usage feedback in a follow-up. - Add a TODO on the agent/pre-step `fullSystemPrompt` param flagging it as a smell on a generic per-step seam (compaction is its sole consumer); a `//` line comment so it stays out of the generated catalog.
compact/ — compaction capability family
A three-package capability seam (see capability seams): an abstract compaction interface, a backend that summarizes, and the model-facing tool that consumes it. The interface and a first backend (compact-basic/) exist; the consumer tool is deferred. All product packages.
| Package | Role | ctx key |
|---|---|---|
compact/ |
Abstract compaction seam (interface + compact/* events + CompactionResult) |
ctx.compact |
compact-basic/ |
A backend: char/4 estimation + token-budget retention + llm.stream() summarization |
(registers ctx.compact) |
tool-compact/ (deferred) |
Model-facing /compact tool over ctx.compact |
(registers on ctx.tools) |
The interface lives at compact/compact/, the backend at compact/compact-basic/. Unlike the bash seam, it depends on dsh-session and dsh-llm — its verbs are defined over a Session and its output is the ContentBlock vocabulary, so the contract cannot be expressed without naming them. That deviation from the "interface depends only on cordis" guidance is intentional and recorded in the compaction capability-seam RFC. A tokenizer- or template-based backend would replace compact-basic without touching the interface or the tool.
