fix(compaction): cap snapcompact frame payloads (#3866)
Bound rebuilt snapcompact image payloads by a per-request base64 byte
budget so long sessions stop re-sending multi-megabyte standing image
archives on every provider request; auto-compaction falls back to
context-full summaries when snapcompact output is too large.
Resolved snapcompact.ts conflict against the main font-rendering refactor
by keeping both renderabilityProbeText and the frame-budget helpers.
Fixed historyBlocks to emit the omitted-frame notice before the kept
(newer) images, since the byte budget drops the oldest frames — keeping
reconstructed blocks oldest-to-newest (addresses Codex P2 review).
Fixes#3792
When legacy snapcompact archives exceed the per-request byte budget, retain frames from the newest end of the archived middle and restore oldest-to-newest order for the kept subset.
Bounded persisted snapcompact image archives by base64 byte size so large sessions stop re-sending multi-megabyte frame walls on every provider request.
Auto snapcompact now falls back to context-full summaries when rendered frame payloads exceed the byte budget, and legacy oversized archives omit over-budget frames during LLM context rebuilds.
Fixes#3792
- Added Silver.ttf TrueType font support to `pi-natives` with automated fallback logic for bitmap font rendering.
- Implemented wide code point detection and cell-width calculation to improve CJK character handling and layout.
- Introduced dynamic font-aware preflight probing via `resolveShapeForText` and `renderabilityProbeText` for better font selection.
- Enabled semantic emoji folding and improved text normalization to handle non-Latin characters and emoji filtering.
- Added `rewrite-changelog.ts` and `fix-changelogs.ts` utilities to automate the consolidation of release notes using LLM-assisted processing.
- Updated multiple internal changelog files by consolidating redundant entries and improving phrasing for readability.
- Implemented `previewLine` utility in `coding-agent` to prevent visual spillover in status rows by managing text truncation and whitespace.
- Updated `package.json` with new workflow scripts for managing package-level change histories and documentation indexes.
- Fixed stale `preserveData.snapcompact` frames leaking into context-full compaction after switching from `snapcompact` to `context-full` strategy, which inflated context usage and made sessions appear to compact prematurely.
- Added secret redaction for migrated snapcompact archive plaintext (`text`/`textHead`/`textTail`) during the snapcompact->context-full transition, while preserving opaque provider-replay state byte-identical.
- Added `archiveSourceText()` and `stripPreservedArchive()` utilities to snapcompact module for archive extraction and cleanup.
- Consolidated duplicate `stripSnapcompactPreserveData` functions into `snapcompact.stripPreservedArchive`.
- Added unit tests to verify archive removal and empty state collapse behavior.
- Added a 10-image budget for the umans provider to match its request cap.
- Updated the unit tests to verify the correct budget assignment for umans.
Fixes#3227
- Updated the test configuration to specify an explicit compaction strategy.
- Enabled context-full compaction to match expected behavior during tests.
- Updated `render`, `renderMany`, and native snapcompact methods to return promises, ensuring scalable async execution.
- Refactored `transformProviderContext` and `buildSideRequestContext` to support asynchronous operations in agent loops.
- Integrated `Promise.all` for improved concurrency when processing frame rendering and rendering batch operations.
- Updated all internal call sites, SDK hooks, and test suites to accommodate the asynchronous API signatures.
- Unify `previousText` resolution to correctly concatenate `textHead` and `textTail` during re-compaction.
- Ensure summary fallback logic correctly handles non-text legacy archives.
- Add test coverage for cross-compaction text retention and legacy archive continuity.
- Enable snapcompact strategy in agent plan reference re-injection tests.
- Renamed the global `INTENT_FIELD` constant from `_i` to `i`.
- Updated documentation strings, type annotations, and test expectations across packages to reflect the new field name.
- Ensured consistent usage of the constant in tool schema construction and intent serialization.
