- Added compaction.asyncEnabled (Async Compaction, default on): when
context enters the pre-threshold band [threshold - lead, threshold)
with lead = clamp(threshold * 0.125, 8192, 32000), maintenance
speculatively summarizes in the background off a branch snapshot
(first configured LLM-backed method: remote, handoff, or soft) using
a side session id isolated from the live turn. Crossing the threshold
splices the armed result in instantly instead of blocking on a
summarization round-trip. Armed results are invalidated by branch
changes, reset boundaries, model switches that strand provider-native
replay payloads, and context growth past keepRecentTokens (which
re-speculates); extensions registering session_before_compact keep
exact blocking semantics (speculation disabled).
- Reworked handoff to commit in place: /handoff and the auto handoff
method now write the generated document as a regular compaction entry
on the current session (summary = document + <files> tag, cut from
prepareCompaction) instead of starting a new session. SessionHandoff
shrank to a document generator; session_before_switch/session_switch
no longer fire with reason "handoff"; mid-turn maintenance no longer
suppresses the handoff preference; overflow recovery can apply an
armed handoff result.
- Extracted the shared auto-compaction commit tail
(#commitAutoCompactionResult / #commitCompactionEntry) used by the
blocking production path, the armed speculative apply, manual
compaction, and manual handoff.
- Status line pulses the auto-compact icon while a speculation runs and
holds it in accent once a result is armed.
- Exported remotePreserveReusable from pi-agent-core/compaction for
apply-time validation of speculative remote results.
