 The [session surface](../architecture/2026-06-18-session-surface.md) was built as the foundation for exactly this — an ordered projection over the event log with a `surfaceOp: { op: 'replace', start, end }` operation purpose-built to shadow a range of entries and insert a replacement, with `sourceEventSeqs` recording provenance so the decision replays deterministically. What remained was the plugin that *decides what to compact and produces the summary*.
 
-Two forces shape the design. First, compaction policy and reusable token measurement vary independently: measurement belongs to the LLM-family [`ctx.tokenMeter` service](../architecture/2026-07-15-replay-token-meter-service.md), while summarization can be a model call, a template, or a remote service. Second, `SurfaceEventType` is closed to five event types (`user/message`, `assistant/message`, `tool/result`, `context/message`, `steering/message`); only those may carry `surfaceOp`. A bespoke `compaction/*` event therefore **cannot** itself appear on the surface — the compiler rejects `surfaceOp` on it and the invariants plugin rejects it at runtime.

 Auto-compaction checks after **every successful** step, not once per turn. This is load-bearing for runaway-turn survival: a tool-heavy ReAct turn appends an `assistant/message` + a `tool/result` per step, so the surface grows within a turn. The post-step check can compact early closed tool pairs before continuation opens the next step, and provider-confirmed overflow remains the backstop when a request crosses the limit first.
 
-`compactIfNeeded` retains the smallest tail of whole surface units whose estimated size reaches `retainTokens` and compacts older nodes. A unit is a complete closed step or one no-step message. If the token cutoff lands inside a step, retention expands until the cut is tool-pairing balanced. Balance is checked on surface order, not log sequence, because replacement summaries have new sequence numbers at old surface positions. `dsh-compact` exports the before/after edge helpers; their per-session cache folds only appended surface-tail nodes while `replaceGeneration` is unchanged, does no event reads for log-only growth, and rebuilds current membership and balances after replacement. `compactRegion` rejects boundaries that split a tool call from its result. The in-flight turn receives no special retention.

 A runaway turn thus compacts exactly like any other history: its early *closed* steps get summarized while its recent steps stay verbatim. When the only compactable content left is an un-splittable open tail step (its tool-calls have no results yet), compaction declines (`null`) and retries once that step closes.

 ### Approximate convergence invariant
 
-`resolveConfig` supplies usable defaults: threshold ratio `0.8`, retained tail `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, empty summarization provider/model overrides, `maxTokens: 8192`, `compactionRetries: 1`, `maxOverflowRetries: 1`, and `auto: true`. Optional top-level `thresholdRatio` and `retainTokens` override the policy for the token meter's single context window; retention must remain below the resulting threshold. Convergence remains dynamic because provider output caps can be spent on hidden or surfaced reasoning tokens and summary size is unpredictable. If pressure remains over threshold, `compactIfNeeded()` re-compacts the head checkpoint up to the configured retry count, but each committed summary must be smaller than what it shadows. Overflow bypasses threshold and retained-tail policy for one maximal balanced head reduction, leaving the newest indivisible unit.

Generic `agent/pre-step` remains a four-argument checkpoint with no compaction-only prompt/prefix payload.
 - **`SessionEventMap`** gains `compact/start` / `compact/summary` / `compact/end` by declaration merging (merge-extensible); `SurfaceEventType` is **not** touched. These are session events, not cordis `Events`, so the event-taxonomy gate needs no entry.
 - **`dsh-compact`** owns `toolPairingBalancedBefore(session, seq)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, seq)`, the cached surface-edge checks that `compactRegion` and `compactIfNeeded` use to avoid splitting a tool-call/result pair. The cache validates current membership by seq and answers both edges from one per-cut balance sequence; stale or missing seqs and orphan results reject.

 Three properties carry the design:
 
-- **Request-only, header-logged.** `deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix; its one durable record is `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `request/header` snapshot — the channel the reconstructable-requests Agent Note already owns for the request's non-history half, so no new session event exists. The dev invariant ([dsh-invariants](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/index.ts)) recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire.

The [`dsh-agent-loop/invariant`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/src/invariant.ts) companion recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire when that contribution is enabled.
 - **Frozen per instance.** Reuse is structural, not disciplined: the cached product cannot change mid-session, so the provider's prompt cache holds by construction and the prefix extends the cacheable region at zero marginal cost per step. A process restart or `ctx.agents.resume()` is a new instance: it recomposes, and any drift lands attributably on the `'resume'` header snapshot. This is the routing rule the seam creates: session-frozen openers ride the prefix; content that changes mid-session rides the append-only history channels (`agent.inject()` or tool/prompt-submit `additionalContexts` — [the interception-seams Agent Note](2026-06-30-interception-seams.md)), each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter.
 - **Exact in the durable request envelope.** Composition precedes the instance's first `agent/pre-step` and request boundary. The first routed request logs the current prefix on its header, so post-step token pressure reads the exact prefix together with the actual prompt, tools, and routed model; no compaction-only parameter is carried through the generic pre-step seam. A composition interrupted by cancel/dispose is discarded, never cached: an abort-aware listener's degraded fallback cannot leak into later requests, and the next turn recomposes under a live signal.
