fix(compact): make config knobs explicit and flag two review smells

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.

## Config (`BasicCompactConfig`)
| Key | Default | Meaning |
Every knob is **required** except `auto` — there is no concrete data yet to justify default thresholds/budgets, so a consumer states each value explicitly rather than inherit a guessed default. `auto` alone defaults to `true`.
| Key | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `contextWindow` | `128000` | Context window size in tokens. |
| `thresholdRatio` | `0.8` | Compact when estimated usage exceeds this fraction of the window. |
| `retainTokens` | `20480` | Tokens of recent context to keep intact. |
| `summarizationModel` | `''` | Model for summarization (empty → use the agent's model). |
| `maxTokens` | `8192` | Provider generation cap for the summarization call; may include reasoning tokens. |
| `compactionRetries` | `1` | Extra compaction attempts after the first if the compacted surface remains over threshold. |
| `auto` | `true` | Register the `agent/pre-step` auto-compaction listener. Set `false` for manual-only. |
| `contextWindow` | yes | Context window size in tokens. |
| `thresholdRatio` | yes | Compact when estimated usage exceeds this fraction of the window. |
| `retainTokens` | yes | Tokens of recent context to keep intact. |
| `summarizationModel` | yes | Model for summarization (`''` → use the agent's model). |
| `maxTokens` | yes | Provider generation cap for the summarization call; may include reasoning tokens. |
| `compactionRetries` | yes | Extra compaction attempts after the first if the compacted surface remains over threshold. |
| `auto` | no (default `true`) | Register the `agent/pre-step` auto-compaction listener. Set `false` for manual-only. |
