fix(web): let the context meter see a compaction

The composer ring, percentage, and `~used / capacity` header read
`contextPressure.pressureTokens`, which moves only when a request reports
usage. Compaction reports none — compact-basic summarizes through a direct
`ctx.llm.stream()` call and appends only its own `compact/*` records plus the
replacement `user/message` — so the meter was frozen across the one action
taken to change it. Driving a real `compactNow` through the agent loop:

    BEFORE compact:  ring=4%  header=~4227/100000  rows=[18, 0, 4365]
    AFTER  compact:  ring=4%  header=~4227/100000  rows=[18, 0,  286]

The composition rows fell 93%; the ring did not move, and would not until an
entire further turn completed. The panel then contradicted itself by more than
an order of magnitude at exactly the moment a reader opens it.

`contextPressure` now also publishes `projectedTokens`: the provider sample
plus the heuristic repricing of everything the surface gained or lost since
that sample, clamped at zero, folded through the shared `surface-fold.ts`. The
sample is stamped before the same event joins the surface, so an
`assistant/message` anchors against the surface its own request carried. Only
the delta is estimated, so the figure stays provider-anchored — the estimator's
CJK and JSON-schema underpricing stays out of the occupancy number — while
reacting the moment content lands or a span is shadowed. Same run after:

    BEFORE compact:  ring=4%  header=~4323/100000  (pressure=4227, projected=4323)
    AFTER  compact:  ring=0%  header=~ 244/100000  (pressure=4227, projected= 244)

`contextOccupancy` prefers the projected figure and falls back to the bare
sample, so a projection restored from a pre-field checkpoint degrades to the
old behavior rather than disappearing. `stateVersion` moves to 3.

`tokenUsage` carries the complete durable log's `uncachedInputTokens`, `outputTokens`, `cacheReadTokens`, and `cacheWriteTokens`. Usage chunks are counted even when a request later fails; a final assistant-message usage for the same `(turn, step)` replaces that sample instead of double-counting it. Reasoning remains an output subdivision. The single last-sample slot relies on a session-log ordering property: once a later step reports usage, a legal log never reports usage for an earlier step again.
`contextPressure` carries optional `pressureTokens` — the newest provider-reported prompt size, summing uncached input plus cache reads and writes — and optional `contextWindow` from the newest `request/context` record. Pressure stays absent until a provider reports usage; capacity stays absent for a route whose adapter advertises none. Output is excluded, so the numerator holds still while a turn streams and steps forward when the next request reports its usage.
`contextPressure` carries optional `pressureTokens` — the newest provider-reported prompt size, summing uncached input plus cache reads and writes — optional `projectedTokens`, and optional `contextWindow` from the newest `request/context` record. Both figures stay absent until a provider reports usage; capacity stays absent for a route whose adapter advertises none. Output is excluded, so `pressureTokens` holds still while a turn streams and steps forward when the next request reports its usage.
`contextBreakdown` carries heuristic `systemTokens`, `toolsTokens`, and `messageTokens` — the context's composition rather than its provider-billed size. The envelope figures reprice last-wins on every `request/header`; the message figure replays `surface-fold.ts` the same positional fold `measure()` runs — so it equals `measure().surfaceTokens` at every event boundary and compaction shrinks it the way it shrinks the next request. All three figures use the measurement service's fixed heuristic and are estimates: they do not reconcile with the provider-exact `pressureTokens`, and a UI should present them as approximations.
`projectedTokens` is what the NEXT request's prompt would cost: the sample plus the heuristic repricing of everything the surface gained or lost since it was taken, clamped at zero and folded through the same `surface-fold.ts` the measurement service replays. Only the delta is estimated, so the figure stays anchored to the provider while reacting the moment content lands — or a compaction shadows a span. That last case is why the field exists: compaction summarizes through a direct `ctx.llm.stream()` call and appends no usage of its own, so `pressureTokens` alone reports the pre-compaction prompt until an entire further turn completes. Occupancy displays read `projectedTokens`.

All three figures use the measurement service's fixed heuristic and are estimates: they will not sum to `projectedTokens`, whose provider anchor carries exactly the error — CJK text and JSON schemas underprice badly at four characters per token — that the composition rows still contain. Present them as an approximate composition, never as a total.
All three units use the standard projection baseline, live frame, higher-seq-wins store, and JSON checkpoint paths. Unloading token-meter removes all three keys. A headless or TUI composition without the projection seam keeps the measurement service's existing behavior.
### Context occupancy is an approximation, by design
`pressureTokens` and `contextWindow` are independent last-wins fields and are **not** one atomic observation of a single request. Switching models pairs the fresh capacity with the previous route's pressure until the next request reports usage, and `pressureTokens` describes the last request rather than the surface as it stands right now.

Switching models pairs the fresh capacity with the previous route's sample until the next request reports usage, and `pressureTokens` describes the last request rather than the surface as it stands right now`projectedTokens` carries that sample forward over the surface's movement, but its anchor is still the older request.
This is deliberate. An occupancy percentage is a user-facing reference figure, not a billing record or a gating input — nothing in the harness makes decisions from it, and compaction reads `measure()` instead. The TUI status line has always computed occupancy the same way, dividing a `measure()` total by a separately-resolved capacity for the selected model.
