The compaction seam — a [capability seam](../rfc/implemented/architecture/2026-06-13-capability-seams.md) split like bash: interface ([dsh-compact](../../packages/compact/compact), `ctx.compact`), implementation (a backend such as [dsh-compact-basic](../../packages/compact/compact-basic)), and consumer (a `/compact` tool, deferred). Compaction is **one optional capability**, not part of the agent-loop spine — so its vocabulary lives here, not in [core.md](core.md). A tokenizer- or template-based backend is a sibling package implementing the same interface. Unlike bash, the interface necessarily depends on `dsh-session` and `dsh-llm`: its verbs are defined over a `Session` and its output is the `ContentBlock` vocabulary (see the [compaction capability-seam RFC](../rfc/implemented/feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md)).

`CompactService` (`ctx.compact`, abstract — defined in [`packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts`](../../packages/compact/compact/src/index.ts)) declares two abstract methods: `compactIfNeeded(agent, fullSystemPrompt, sessionPrefix, signal)` checks token pressure and compacts an older range if the history is too large (returning `null` when nothing needs it), and `compactRegion(session, start, end, agent, signal?)` forcibly summarizes surface nodes `[start, end]` into a single replacement node. `compactIfNeeded`'s parameters are all required — the loop's `agent/pre-step` checkpoint supplies the agent, the assembled `fullSystemPrompt`, the instance's composed `sessionPrefix` (request-only messages the derived history omits, so the pressure estimate must count them), and the turn `signal`. A backend summarizing via `ctx.llm.stream()` must forward `signal` into the call's `GenerateOptions.signal`, so an abort or dispose tears down the in-flight summarization. The entire strategy — token estimation, retention policy, event sequencing, summarization — is a HOW decision owned by the implementation.

Auto-compaction runs on the serial `agent/pre-step` loop seam (fired once per step, after `turn/start` and BEFORE the step opens and its request history is derived), not the `agent/request` waterfall: compaction mutates the session surface in place — with its log-only `compact/*` records landing cleanly outside any step — and the loop derives the request from the already-compacted surface. Retention is turn-agnostic — the only structural guard is tool-pairing balance (a compacted region's edges are balanced cuts on the surface, so it never splits a step's tool-calls from their results), so a single runaway turn that alone exceeds the window compacts its own early closed steps rather than being retained verbatim. The backend that ships this (`dsh-compact-basic`) documents the retention walk, summary shrink validation, bounded re-compaction, and the crash/recoverable failure taxonomy.

### The contract depends on `dsh-session` and `dsh-llm` — a deliberate deviation
|
||||
|
||||
The capability-seams RFC states the interface package "depends only on cordis" (true of `dsh-bash`, whose vocabulary is self-contained). Compaction **cannot** honor that: its verbs are defined *over* a `Session` (`compactRegion(session, start, end)`) and its output *is* the content vocabulary (`CompactionResult.summary: ContentBlock[]`). There is no way to express the contract without naming `Session`/`SessionEvent` (from `dsh-session`) and `ContentBlock` (from `dsh-llm`).

This is not a coupling smell — it is the contract's domain. The "only cordis" guidance was always shorthand for "the interface depends only on what the contract genuinely names, and never on an implementation." `dsh-session` and `dsh-llm` are themselves interface/vocabulary packages, not implementations; `dsh-compact` still imports no backend. The seam's real invariant — *consumers and implementations evolve independently behind an abstract service* — holds intact.

An earlier draft put the full algorithm (the retention walk, token-summing, text extraction) as concrete methods on the interface, with only `estimateContentTokens()` and `summarize()` abstract. That recouples the contract to one strategy: a backend that wants a different retention policy or a different event-sequencing would have to fight inherited concrete code. Making both core methods abstract puts every *how* decision in the backend, where it belongs, and keeps the interface a pure statement of *what*. The backend remains internally factored — `estimateContentTokens()` and `summarize()` are `protected` hooks a sub-backend can override without reimplementing the walk — but that factoring is the backend's private concern, not the contract's.

`compactIfNeeded(agent, turn, step, fullSystemPrompt, signal)` takes **required** parameters (not the original all-optional shape). The auto-compaction seam (below) always supplies the agent, lifecycle context, assembled system prompt (counted toward the estimate), and the turn's abort signal, so optionality would only invite a hidden default at the seam. The session being compacted comes from the agent context. `compactRegion(session, start, end, agent, turn, step, signal?)` keeps an optional signal (a manual caller may omit it). Passing lifecycle context rather than a concrete model keeps router agents honest: the backend's summarization request can run through `agent/request`, where model-routing plugins already choose the actual model.
|
||||
`compactIfNeeded(agent, fullSystemPrompt, sessionPrefix, signal)` takes required inputs from the auto-compaction seam: the agent, assembled system prompt, composed request prefix, and turn abort signal. `compactRegion(start, end, agent, signal?)` uses `agent.session` as its single session identity and keeps an optional signal for manual callers. The backend's summarization request is a direct `ctx.llm.stream()` call; the configured summarization model falls back to the agent's model, and adapters can still route through the LLM seam.
