### 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`).

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 act on an agent-owned `Session` (`compactRegion(start, end, agent)`) and the durable `compact/summary` event carries `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.
