1. **Interface** — `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact`: an abstract `CompactService` owning the `ctx.compact` key, the `CompactionResult` vocabulary, and the `compact/*` session events. It declares `compactIfNeeded()` and `compactRegion()` as **abstract** — the contract states *what* compaction does, not *how*.
|
||||
2. **Implementation** — `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic`: a concrete `BasicCompactService` that consumes `ctx.tokenMeter` and owns the tail→head retention walk, summarization via `ctx.llm.stream()`, the surface replacement, the lock, post-step pressure, and canonical context-overflow recovery. `summarize()` is its sole subclass hook; pricing and replay stay with the meter.

3. **Consumer** — deferred. A `/compact` tool and slash command will `inject: ['compact']` and call the contract; they are intentionally out of scope here so the seam settles first.

3. **Model-free companion** — `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-result-prune`: a concrete optional service that rewrites oversized current `tool/result` nodes before the backend selects a summary range. It is not a second compaction implementation and does not implement `CompactService`.

### Automatic pressure runs after successful durable step work
|
||||
|
||||
The original pre-step placement used a provisional envelope and could not see final `agent/request` routing, tools, provider output, tool results, buffered context, or steering. The corrected lifecycle fires serial `agent/post-step(agent, turn, step, signal)` after those successful facts are durable and before `step/end`. `dsh-compact-basic` measures the canonical logged request through `ctx.tokenMeter`, so the next request sees any replacement without a speculative envelope override.

Once pressure qualifies, it invokes optional `ctx.toolResultPrune`, remeasures the durable surface, and summarizes only if pruning did not restore safe pressure.
|
||||
|
||||
Canonical provider context overflow takes a separate path. The failed step closes, `agent/request-error` receives the original request error and consecutive retry count, and compact-basic forces one useful balanced reduction. It returns retry only if `session.surface.replaceGeneration` increases; the loop then opens a new numbered step and reconstructs its request from the durable log. No range, no replacement, recovery failure, cancellation, an exhausted cap, or an unrelated error preserves the original provider failure. The complete lifecycle decision is in the [after-call recovery RFC](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-10-after-call-compaction-pressure-and-overflow-recovery.md).

## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
- **Packages**: `packages/compact/compact` supplies the interface and `compact-basic` supplies the backend. `packages/llm/token-meter` owns replay-aware measurement independently. The consumer tier is deferred.
|
||||
- **Packages**: `packages/compact/compact` supplies the interface, `compact-basic` supplies the backend, and `tool-result-prune` supplies optional deterministic rewriting. `packages/llm/token-meter` owns replay-aware measurement independently. The consumer tier is deferred.
|
||||
- **Automatic seams**: `agent/post-step` (`@mode serial`) handles successful-call pressure and `agent/request-error` (`@mode waterfall`) handles final request failures after the failed step closes. 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, node)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, node)`, 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 instead of trusting a caller-retained `node.next`; stale or missing seqs and orphan results reject. `dsh-session` continues to own the surface `replace` operation, positional nodes, and rewrite generation.
|
||||
- **`dsh-invariants`** drops its `surface replace: start must be <= end` assertion: a head-anchored compaction lands a high-seq replacement node at an older range's *position*, so `start > end` numerically is normal and valid (the range is positional, validated by the surface's `indexOf` checks that remain). The turn-enclosure invariant is reused unchanged.
|
||||
- **Wiring**: `examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml` loads zero-config `dsh-token-meter` before `dsh-compact-basic`; the service-wide window and compact defaults make the pair usable without repeated numeric policy.
|
||||
- **`dsh-invariants`** treats fresh appended tool results as executions that require an open step and pending call, while provenance-backed replacements are turn-enclosed surface rewrites. Positional replacement and complete-source checks validate the rewritten node.
|
||||
- **Wiring**: `examples/coding-agent/cordis.yml` loads zero-config `dsh-token-meter`, `dsh-tool-result-prune`, then `dsh-compact-basic`; service-wide defaults make the composition usable without repeated numeric policy.

## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- **Unit:** Real Loader and invariant plugins cover whole-unit retention, convergence failure, both `compact/end` outcomes, head anchoring, open-tail refusal, inert crash orphans, forced below-threshold overflow, generation proof, caps, and original-error preservation.
|
||||
- **Unit:** Real Loader and invariant plugins cover whole-unit retention, pruning configuration and replay, rich-block ordering, metadata preservation, convergence, both `compact/end` outcomes, open-tail refusal, pruning-only and summarized overflow recovery, generation proof, caps, and original-error preservation.
|
||||
- **Loop:** Tests pin post-step after durable tool results and before `step/end`, actual `agent/request` routing, closed failed steps, fresh retry numbering, and complete thrown/in-band overflow → compaction → reconstructed retry composition.
|
||||
- **With-key e2e:** A real model and bash session with lowered limits triggers compaction, records a complete `compact/start…end` pair, shrinks the surface, and finishes the task.
|
||||
- **Snapshot gap:** Runaway-turn compaction cannot yet replay because the summarization call records no `assistant/chunk` events or `sessionId`; interleaved summarization-call replay remains follow-up work.
