//! Compaction (blueprint §9, D6) — summarising the old part of a frame's //! history so the context stops growing. //! //! It is **not a turn**: one model call, no tools, no rounds, no kernel. That //! is the whole reason it is its own component — a host can compact a //! conversation nothing is driving, and the loop never learns it happened. //! //! The result is a row, not a return value: the next loop reads //! `latest_summary` through the assembler and projects //! `system → summary → messages after covered_up_to`. Callers get a //! [`CompactionOutcome`] for telemetry, not for threading anywhere. //! //!
