Hypatia May b13586ff8e docs(compact): align seam docs with the pre-step seam and record session/invariants changes (CBR-003)
Codex round 1 CBR-003: several docs still described compaction as an
`agent/request` waterfall concern, and the implemented compaction RFC
claimed "No changes to dsh-session or dsh-invariants" while the diff
changed both.

- Package READMEs / JSDoc (agent, agent-loop, system-prompt, compact,
  compact-basic): compaction now lives on the serial `agent/pre-step`
  seam (fired after turn/start, before step/start); the structural guard
  is tool-pairing balance (`isToolPairingBalanced`), not step-alignment;
  the convergence bound is strict (`>=` rejects).
- architecture.md / core-data-structures/compaction.md: same seam +
  predicate + dispatch-mode updates; regenerated cordis catalog.
- Implemented compaction RFC, updated in place to describe shipped
  reality: the seam is `agent/pre-step` (@mode serial) fired before
  step/start; alignment is surface tool-pairing balance; the convergence
  invariant rejects `>=`; and the "no dsh-session/dsh-invariants changes"
  claim is corrected — dsh-session gains the tool-pairing predicate and
  dsh-invariants drops its `start <= end` replace assertion (a positional
  replace makes start > end normal).

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.
