//! Compression v2 — summarize, don't discard (Step 18.4, issue #247).
//!
//! The shared pipeline behind both agentic loops' context-pressure triggers
//! (the mid-loop count/token trim and the pre-send `send_budget` guard).
//! Before this step those sites amputated the conversation middle into a
//! one-line placeholder; the context baseline measured the consequence
//! (`docs/testing/results/context-baseline-f0f4f6e.md` B6: 9/10 silently
//! wrong answers under truncation — the task itself was discarded).
//!
//! Pipeline order (design: `docs/design/context-memory-hermes-learnings.md`
//! §Phase 18):
//!
//! 1. **Structural prune** — [`crate::prune`]'s three passes (Step 18.3),
//!    zero LLM cost. Recheck the budget; most invocations end here.
//! 2. **Boundary computation** — head = all leading system messages, including
//!    the immutable active-prompt card (so the task can never be summarized
//!    away); tail
//!    protected by a TOKEN budget, not a message count (a count-based tail
//!    with a few huge tool results defeats the pipeline); the most recent
//!    user message is anchored into the tail (hermes #10896 — otherwise the
//!    current request "effectively disappears from the active context"); the
//!    cut is aligned past tool_call/result pairs so no orphan halves are
//!    *created* (prevention, not just post-repair).
//! 3. **LLM summary** of the middle via the injected summarizer, using the
//!    `Summarizing` provider's lean section template plus the
//!    verbatim-Active-Task rule, with [`redact_secrets`] applied to the
//!    summarizer input — summaries persist and re-inject for the life of a
//!    conversation, so credentials must never enter one.
//! 4. **Assembly** — the summary message carries the
//!    `[CONTEXT COMPACTION — REFERENCE ONLY]` prefix and the
//!    `--- END OF CONTEXT SUMMARY ---` end marker (weak local models read a
//!    verbatim task quote as fresh input without them — hermes #11475 /
//!    #14521), then [`super::trim::repair_orphaned_tool_calls`] runs as the
//!    post-hoc safety net, and a final aggressive prune (`keep_last: 0`)
//!    fits a still-over result structurally rather than letting the backend
//!    truncate it silently (the B6 failure shape: one giant tool round that
//!    no boundary can split).
//!
//! **No summarizer** (eval / headless / `None`) or a failed summarizer →
//! the static fallback marker ("Summary generation was unavailable. N
//! message(s) were removed.") — the old placeholder-discard survives as
//! exactly this path and only this path. A summarizer failure never aborts
//! the turn.
//!
//! **Anti-thrash** ([`CompressState`], hoisted from the `Summarizing`
//! provider to this shared path): when two consecutive compressions each
//! reclaim <10%, auto-compression is disabled for the session and the user
//! is told once; the budget guard stays hard — further over-budget rounds
//! are refused rather than silently truncated.
//!
//! Summary *continuity* (prev-summary chaining, restore rehydration) is
//! Step 18.5 — the seam is the summary message this module inserts.

/// **The one minting site** (#1992). #661 group B built this for the summarize
/// path; the digest fold needs exactly the same record — a derived turn over a
/// retrievable verbatim span — and a second encoding of it would be a
/// content-addressable law violation, not a style choice. Both callers mint
/// `SpillProvenance::CompactionSpan` through here.
///
/// Redact-on-store: only the redacted span is ever retained, through the same
/// closed table `spill:` uses.
///
/// `None` means DO NOT ADVERTISE. A failed store must never name a handle that
/// resolves to nothing (BHV-SPILL-001), which is why the commit decision and
/// the handle are returned together rather than left to each caller:
///
/// * DIRECT (Chat): commit now, advertise only on success.
/// * TRANSACTIONAL (Responses): stage into the candidate buffer — the pure CID
///   is valid before commit, and a rejected candidate is discarded whole, so
///   nothing it named is ever committed.
