- **`packages/session-persistence/session-persistence`**: Abstract interface unchanged.
The surface is the foundation for future history manipulation. A compaction or tool-result-prune plugin appends one of the existing message-producing event types (a `user/message` carrying the summary, say) with `surfaceOp: { op: 'replace', start, end }` and `sourceEventSeqs` covering the shadowed entries — the new event takes the range's place on the surface while the plugin's own trace events (e.g. `compaction/start`, `compaction/end`) stay off it. Replay preserves the decision deterministically.
A `tool/result` replacement may rewrite exactly one current `tool/result` and must preserve every data field except `content`. Session acceptance enforces this rule together with positional range and provenance validation, independent of optional diagnostic plugins.

`agent/pre-step` is narrowed to `(agent, turn, step, signal)`. It remains a generic serial checkpoint before `step/start`, but it carries no compaction-only prompt or prefix fields.
The loop fires awaited serial `agent/post-step(agent, turn, step, signal)` after assistant output, every dispatched or synthetic tool result, post-tool context, and steering are durable, but before `step/end`. This placement gives pressure policy the complete successful-call state without splitting an assistant tool call from its result.

`CompactService.compactIfNeeded(agent, trigger, signal)` accepts `trigger: 'pressure' | 'context-overflow'`. The interface gains no estimation methods or token types; `ctx.tokenMeter` remains the reusable accounting owner.
For `pressure`, compact-basic applies the service-wide threshold and retained-tail policy to one unified `ctx.tokenMeter.measure()` result. The same singleton meter owns range pricing, provenance, shadowed token counts, and non-shrinking-summary rejection. The common defaults remain threshold ratio `0.8`, retained history `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, summarization provider/model `''`, `maxTokens: 8192`, `compactionRetries: 1`, and `auto: true`.
For `pressure`, compact-basic applies the service-wide threshold and retained-tail policy to one unified `ctx.tokenMeter.measure()` result. Below pressure it returns without pruning. Once pressure qualifies, optional `ctx.toolResultPrune` rewrites oversized current results and compact-basic remeasures through the same meter; safe pressure skips the model call, while remaining pressure selects and summarizes from the pruned surface. The same singleton meter owns range pricing, provenance, shadowed token counts, and non-shrinking-summary rejection. The common defaults remain threshold ratio `0.8`, retained history `floor(contextWindow × 0.16)`, summarization provider/model `''`, `maxTokens: 8192`, `compactionRetries: 1`, and `auto: true`.
For canonical overflow, compact-basic bypasses scalar pressure and the normal retained-token budget. It chooses the maximal tool-balanced head range while leaving the newest indivisible unit, then attempts exactly one shrinking compaction under the same signal. The automatic listener snapshots `session.surface.replaceGeneration` and returns `{ action: 'retry' }` only when compaction succeeds and the generation increases. A backend returning a result without replacement cannot authorize retry.
For canonical overflow, compact-basic bypasses scalar pressure and the normal retained-token budget. It prunes first, then chooses the maximal tool-balanced head range while leaving the newest indivisible unit and attempts one shrinking summary compaction under the same signal when a range exists. The automatic listener snapshots `session.surface.replaceGeneration` and returns `{ action: 'retry' }` whenever pruning or summarization increases it. This remains true when pruning lands before later summary work throws; cancellation still wins. A backend returning a result without replacement cannot authorize retry, while pruning-only progress can authorize a retry without a `CompactionResult`.
`maxOverflowRetries` is optional and defaults to `1`; `0` disables overflow recovery without disabling pressure. `auto: false` registers neither automatic listener. Noncanonical errors, exhausted attempts, an already-aborted signal, a missing routed model, no safe range, no generation change, and recovery throws all delegate to the next listener. With no later recovery, the loop reports the original provider error object and code. Cancellation or disposal remains authoritative even if recovery work completes concurrently.

The default summarizer resolves explicit configuration, then the latest logged route, then agent options.

Post-step pressure describes the completed routed request, including durable tool results and request-only prefix fields. Optional model-free pruning removes predictable tool-output bulk before summary selection and can independently create retry-worthy progress. Canonical overflow supplies the backstop when no successful usage anchor exists. Recovery is bounded, cancellation-owned, and monotonic: it retries only after a visible surface generation change.
The cost is one additional serial checkpoint on successful steps and adapter-maintained overflow classification. Provider wording and heuristic character density remain maintenance risks. Surface compaction still cannot repair an envelope that alone exceeds the window or split one indivisible oversized message/tool unit.

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.
**Single-unit overflow is out of scope, by design.** If a single retained unit — one closed step, or a large free entry such as a pasted `user/message`*alone* exceeds the budget, compaction cannot help and the next model call may go out over-budget. Bounding an individual unit's size is a separate concern (output truncation), handled elsewhere; compaction makes no promise about it, and the harness without such a mechanism can still break on a single oversized unit. This is named honestly rather than papered over.
**Some single-unit overflow remains out of scope.** Summary range selection cannot split an indivisible unit. The optional pruner can repair a closed tool pair when removable text-bearing tool-result content is the bulk and the pruned remainder fits. Envelope-only pressure, an oversized indivisible non-tool node such as a pasted `user/message`, and a tool unit whose non-prunable remainder is still oversized remain outside compaction; bounding those units is a separate concern.
