## [Unreleased]
+### Changed
+
+- **Compaction ends below its trigger or at a floor, whatever the summariser
+ does.** A pass now masks old tool outputs, summarises the oldest spans,
+ folds old summaries, and — when those stop short — removes the oldest spans
+ without a model, until the whole prompt is at `compaction_target_ratio` of
+ the trigger or nothing removable is left. A summariser that fails, hangs,
+ returns nothing or returns something unparseable is a normal outcome, and a
+ pass that could change nothing is not opened. See `docs/compaction.md`.
+- **A summary is plain text under five fixed headings**, requested with
+ `complete_text` under a system-role instruction, read tolerantly (a JSON
+ envelope, an unterminated one, a reply without headings and a reply the
+ output cap cut are all kept) and clamped section by section at line
+ boundaries. The single JSON `summary` string and its 1,024-character ceiling
+ are gone.
+- **Exact values are carried by code.** Every tier records what it takes out
+ of the window — operator instructions, files touched, identifiers of
+ recognisable shape with their line, failed calls, the latest plan — in one
+ ledger message, rebuilt by code on every pass and never shown to the
+ summariser.
+- **Old tool outputs are masked by age** (`compaction_mask_keep_recent_results`,
+ `compaction_mask_min_tokens`), keeping the lines the output said only once
+ (`compaction_mask_distinct_lines`) and a readable pointer to the stored
+ original. The summariser is shown a masked output in full.
+- **Adjacent units are summarised as one span** up to
+ `compaction_summary_group_max_tokens`, whatever their size, and a span's
+ output budget is `compaction_summary_ratio` of it, clamped by
+ `compaction_summary_min_output_tokens` and `compaction_summary_max_output_tokens`
+ (now 2,048). The summariser's input is bounded
+ (`compaction_summariser_input_max_tokens`, and a quarter of the window) and
+ each call has a deadline (`compaction_summary_timeout_seconds`).
+- **`compaction_completed` reports every tier and the pass's `outcome`**, and
+ the whole prompt before and after; `compaction_fold_min_messages` is now 4.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `compaction_routine_min_clear_ratio` (replaced by `compaction_target_ratio`),
+ `compaction_summary_string_max_chars`, `compaction_summary_envelope_tokens`,
+ `compaction_summary_chars_per_word`, `compaction_summary_output_tokens_per_word`,
+ `compaction_summary_tokens_per_word`, `compaction_summary_min_words` and
+ `compaction_fold_summary_target_words`: they sized a JSON string in words.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **A compaction the `pre_compact` hook refuses leaves the run running.** The
+ refusal returned from inside `COMPACTING`, and the run stayed in that state
+ for the rest of the turn. It now returns to `RUNNING` with the reason
+ `compaction_refused_by_hook`.
+- **The compaction gate sizes the whole prompt.** The trigger and the
+ emergency cliff are whole-prompt sizes, but the gate held the history's
+ estimate against them. With a large system prompt and tool surface — 56k of
+ a 256k window in the case that showed it — the history reached the trigger
+ only after the request had passed the provider's ceiling, so the fit clipped
+ the output cap turn after turn and compaction first ran on a refusal. The
+ gate now adds what the last request carried besides the history (its system
+ messages and tool definitions, calibrated); the figure rides the snapshot.
+- **A history made only of short rounds can be compacted.** Tier 2 skipped
+ every unit below `compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens`, and the fold takes only
+ summaries and operator turns, so a run that works in many rounds of one short
+ tool call each built a history no tier could reduce: every pass freed
+ nothing and the run failed on the retry budget. Adjacent small units of the
+ same provenance, with nothing between them, are now joined up to
+ `compaction_summary_group_max_tokens` (6,000; 0 disables it) and summarised
+ as one unit when the group clears the floor.
+- **A failed round never completes on an earlier run's answer.** Completing a
+ failed run "on its preserved answer" read every message not tagged as
+ seeded, so on a host that hands the engine a session's earlier turns
+ untagged, the previous run's reply counted: a run whose every request was
+ refused completed with nothing written and no error reported. The answer
+ must now have been written in the round that failed, the span after the
+ last message a caller put in.
+- **A refusal the adapter classified as final is neither retried nor wound
+ down.** The retry decision read only the `reason` of an attached
+ classification and ignored its `retryable` flag, although `ClassifiedLike`
+ carries both; the flag now decides when it is set. And a permanent
+ `LLMProviderError` no longer enters the wind-down: its one turn is a request
+ to the endpoint that has just refused the run, and it was refused the same
+ way. The fallback chain is still tried first.
+- **The wind-down notice names a deadline and a stalled model for what they
+ are.** A run stopped by its wall clock was told it had reached its budget,
+ and a run whose model kept returning reasoning with no answer and no tool
+ call was told the model endpoint had failed — which the model then passed on
+ to the operator as the reason. `soft_stop_notice_text_deadline` names the
+ time limit, and the new `model_no_progress` cause, entered by the
+ empty-round policy, carries `soft_stop_notice_text_model_no_progress`. Blank
+ texts fall back to the general notice.
+- **The wind-down notice does not outlive its run.** The "tools are withdrawn,
+ write your answer" message the loop writes into history when a run winds
+ down stayed there after the run ended. When the wind-down's own final turn
+ failed — a provider outage that caused the wind-down also killed the answer —
+ the notice was the last thing in the session, and the next turn obeyed it:
+ the model reported what it had not finished and called nothing, although
+ every tool was back. The notice is removed once the drive reaches a terminal
+ state and written back only for a resumed run that is still wound down.

- summarises a turn the operator wrote: an instruction is short, so
- paraphrasing it frees almost nothing, and it is specific, so the paraphrase
- is a rewrite — "remove the model-name field from the header" becomes "the

- what Tier 2 leaves: over a long session, one summary per tool batch plus
- every operator message become the whole window, and neither pass below can

- `compaction_fold_min_messages` long and `compaction_fold_min_tokens` big
- becomes one consolidated summary in which the operator's instructions
- survive as exact quotes; the task turn and the
- `compaction_fold_keep_operator_turns` most recent instructions stay
- verbatim. Reactive provider-overflow recovery may summarise and fold seed-only spans,
- keeping only the `compaction_force_keep_recent_turns` trailing messages (one by
- default); every replacement retains the seed tag and
- spans split at seed/current boundaries, so the host's persistence filter
- keeps the runs separate. Frozen compaction references remain protected. A
- fold is a summary like any other, so a later fold absorbs it once its
- neighbourhood has grown again.
-
- Both summarisers assemble their request through `build_llm_request`, record
- it to the request manifest, and are told the same two rules the wording of a
- summary lives or dies by: keep every identifier — paths, ids, ports, URLs,
- numbers, error codes — verbatim rather than substituting a plausible value,
- and state an outcome with no tool result or confirmation behind it as
- UNKNOWN rather than as done or not done. The per-turn prompt states its
- budget in characters as well as words, says a longer reply is cut off and
- discarded, asks for the count and the records that matter instead of a copy
- of a long tool result, and names the single key it wants — a model that
- listed every record of a long result wrote a reply the output cap cut, and a
- cut reply is never parsed. Both instructions are templates
- (`compaction_turn_summary`, `compaction_fold_summary`), not literals, so an
- operator serving another language has somewhere to put the translation.
-
- What a pass is allowed to cost is bounded on every axis: a unit below
- `compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens` is not sent at all (a summariser writes
- a sentence or three whatever it is handed, so below some size the call is
- spent to discover the summary is no smaller), the word budget in the prompt
- scales with the unit rather than being a fixed sentence count and is capped
- at what the output cap can hold at
- `compaction_summary_output_tokens_per_word` (four — the English figure of two
- understates JSON escaping and a non-Latin script, and a budget sized that way
- comes back cut off, never parses and is never committed) less
- `compaction_summary_envelope_tokens` for the JSON around the words, and never
- above what the grammar's own `maxLength` will accept, calls go out
- `compaction_summariser_parallelism` at a time instead of one after another
- while the run sits in `COMPACTING`, and the fold takes at most
- `compaction_fold_max_spans_per_pass` runs per pass. A summary that comes
- back no smaller than what it would replace is discarded, never committed.
-
- A call that fails for a reason belonging to the unit — the request does not
- fit the summariser's own window, or the reply carried no readable summary
- because the output cap cut the envelope — is counted against THAT unit in
- `CompactionState.failed_anchor_keys`, and past
- `compaction_summary_failed_unit_max_attempts` the routine gate stops sending
- it; the fold tier still gets its turn at it. Nothing else is counted: a
- transport failure (a rate limit, a 5xx, a recycled summariser) says nothing
- about the unit, and neither does a summary that merely came back no smaller,
- so neither retires anything. The other units in the batch commit regardless,
- so one unit the summariser cannot handle no longer keeps a pass from shedding
- anything. The forced passes ignore the census and try every unit — they run
- when the alternative is the run ending. The census rides the run snapshot,
- and entries whose unit has left the transcript are pruned at the end of every
- pass, so it does not grow without bound.
-
- Separately from the census, a pass is charged to a retry budget bounded by
- `compaction_failed_max_retries`. Only a pass that tried and failed is charged
- — a tier raised, or a summariser call was made and nothing came of it — and
- it is charged once, however many tiers failed. Routine and proactive passes
- share `CompactionState.retry_count`; the reactive pass after a provider
- rejection keeps `CompactionState.reactive_retry_count`, because it is the
- only profile that may compact seeded history and proactive failures prove
- nothing about it. Progress by either profile clears both counters, since the
- next pass of either kind faces a different history, and `rearm()` clears
- them too. A transport failure therefore costs the pass one retry and the
- unit nothing, while a unit-shaped failure is counted against the unit as
- well; the forced passes ignore the census either way. Both counters ride the
- run snapshot.
-
- A proactive pass (routine, turn-start emergency, per-iteration) is decided
- before it opens. `ContextManager.has_proactive_work` asks each tier whether
- it would change anything under the proactive profile, without changing it;
- when none would — a history of seeded turns is the usual case — the gate
- opens no transaction at all: no `COMPACTING`, no events, hooks, usage row or
- snapshot. The engine remembers that probe with the history and the constants
- it saw, and does not ask again until either changes. Past the budget, a
- proactive pass does not end the run: nothing has been rejected yet, so the
- proactive summariser tiers are suspended (a
- `compaction_exhausted_proactive_suspended` state change each time a
- proactive pass exhausts the budget; `retry_count` is not reset, so after the
- suspension one failed pass suspends again) and the request goes out. Tier 1 needs no LLM and keeps running through the suspension. The
- suspension ends after `compaction_proactive_suspension_iterations` gate
- visits, or once the prompt has grown by
- `compaction_proactive_suspension_growth_ratio` of its size when it began,
- whichever comes first. A context refusal lifts it at once — the provider's,
- or the local fit's refusal by estimate or exact count, both of which run the
- reactive pass — and so do `rearm()` and a resume from a snapshot, which does
- not carry it. A reactive pass past its budget hands the turn to the
- output-cap ladder while a smaller cap is left, and fails the run only when
- none is.
-
- The routine per-iteration gate also stands down for
- `compaction_no_gain_backoff_iterations` iterations after a pass that freed
- less than `compaction_min_gain_ratio`; the count survives the per-message
- recovery reset, which used to clear it before it could skip anything. The
- backoff ends early once the prompt has grown by
- `compaction_no_gain_backoff_growth_ratio` of its size when it was set, and on
- any context refusal.

+A long run outgrows its window. Compaction is what keeps it running: it takes
+the oldest part of the transcript out of the prompt and leaves something
+smaller in its place. This page states what compaction guarantees, in terms a
+test can check, and why each clause is there. Every clause has a failure
+behind it that happened in a real long-running session.
+
+## Vocabulary
+
+| Term | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| window `W` | `model_context_window`, the provider's context window in tokens |
+| prompt `P` | the whole request: the history **plus** the system prompt and the tool definitions (the *overhead*), in calibrated tokens |
+| trigger `T` | `compaction_trigger_tokens` (see [Budget arithmetic](#budget-arithmetic)); a pass opens when `P > T` |
+| target `R` | where an opened pass aims; `R < T` |
+| pass | one run of the cascade below, opened by a gate |
+| span | what one summary stands for: one or more adjacent tool-pairing units |
+| carrier | the text that replaces a span: a summary, a fold or a floor digest |
+| ledger | the one message that carries exact values out of compacted spans, written by code |
+| protected set | what no tier may remove (see [Invariant 10](#10-what-is-never-removed)) |
+
+## The invariants
+
+### 1. Progress
+
+Every opened pass ends with `P ≤ T`, or at the **floor**: nothing outside the
+protected set is left to remove. A pass that could not change anything is not
+opened at all. No run fails because compaction "made no progress", and no gate
+fires on every iteration.
+
+*Why.* A run over a history of hundreds of short rounds, under a large tool
+surface, opened a pass on every iteration, freed 0–3 tokens each time and
+failed on the retry budget after 75 passes. The gate measured the whole
+prompt; the passes could shrink only the history, and no tier had anything it
+was willing to touch.
+
+The retry budget (`compaction_failed_max_retries`) survives only for the case
+the floor cannot help with: a history already at its floor on which a tier
+raised. A proactive pass that exhausts it suspends the summariser tiers for a
+bounded stretch (masking and the floor keep running); a reactive pass hands the
+turn to the output-cap ladder, and fails the run only when no smaller cap is
+left — the one situation in which the history cannot be made to fit.
+
+### 2. Tier order
+
+A pass runs, cheapest first, only while the prompt is above the target:
+
+1. **Masking** (`run_tier1_truncation`). Tool outputs outside the kept tail are
+ replaced by a placeholder: any output of at least
+ `tool_result_truncation_ratio × W`, and — oldest first, until the target is
+ met — any output older than the `compaction_mask_keep_recent_results` most
+ recent and at least `compaction_mask_min_tokens` long. Needs no model and
+ cannot fail for want of one.
+2. **Summarising** (`run_tier2_summarisation`, then `run_tier3_fold`). The
+ oldest spans are replaced by a model summary; then runs of old summaries and
+ old operator turns are merged into one fold, which a later fold can absorb.
+3. **The floor** (`run_floor`). If the prompt is still above the trigger (above
+ the target for a forced pass — a provider refusal, or an estimate past the
+ emergency line), the oldest spans are removed, raw spans before summaries,
+ until the target is met or nothing removable is left. One digest written by
+ code stands where they were.
+
+A summary is an improvement on the floor, never a precondition for progress.
+
+### 3. A failed or absent summary is a normal outcome
+
+A summariser call ends in one of: a summary, `transport` (the provider
+raised), `timeout` (no answer within `compaction_summary_timeout_seconds`),
+`empty` (no usable text), `too_large` (the request does not fit the
+summariser's window) or `not_smaller` (the summary is no smaller than the
+span). None of them fails the pass: the span stays, and the floor takes it if
+the room is needed. Only `empty` and `too_large` are counted against the span
+(`compaction_summary_failed_unit_max_attempts`), because only they repeat.
+
+The summariser's **input is bounded by construction** to
+`min(compaction_summariser_input_max_tokens, W / 4)`: a span larger than that is
+shown with its tool outputs cut to head and tail lines, never mid-line. By
+default the summariser is the model that just refused a request as too long;
+its input has to fit anyway.
+
+### 4. Facts from state, not from the model
+
+Exact values are carried by code, in the **ledger**, not by the summariser.
+Whenever a tier takes something out of the window it first records, from the
+outgoing messages:
+
+- the operator's instructions, verbatim (clipped at a line boundary);
+- the files the agent read, wrote or edited, by the tool's declared role;
+- identifiers and exact values of recognisable shape — URLs, UUIDs, paths,
+ hashes, timestamps, versions, `host:port` pairs, handles, id-shaped tokens —
+ each with the line it stood on;
+- the tool calls that failed, with the first line of what they said;
+- the latest plan the agent recorded and the questions it asked.
+
+The ledger is one user-role message tagged `protocore.compaction_ledger`; its
+metadata holds its own structured state, and every pass rebuilds it from that
+state plus what the pass removed. It is **never** shown to the summariser —
+a record a model rewrites on every fold compounds its errors — and no tier
+compacts it. Values of noisy shape (timestamps, bare numbers, hashes) are read
+only from the operator's turns, the agent's own text and arguments, and the
+*distinct lines* of a tool output: the lines whose shape, numbers aside, the
+output does not repeat. A log of a thousand lines says its setting, its error
+or its result once; that is the line kept.
+
+What the ledger does not do: recognise a value with no shape. A count with its
+unit, or a name, stays the summary's job.
+
+### 5. The carrier
+
+A summary is **plain text under five fixed headings**: `## Progress`,
+`## Facts and values`, `## Decisions and constraints`, `## Failures`, `## Open`.
+It is requested with `ILLMProvider.complete_text` — never under a response
+schema — and read tolerantly by `read_carrier`:
+
+- reasoning blocks and code fences are removed;
+- a JSON envelope the model wrote anyway is unwrapped, whole or unterminated;
+- a reply without headings is kept under `## Notes`;
+- a reply the output cap cut loses its last, unfinished line, not the rest;
+- each section is clamped to its own share of the budget, at line boundaries —
+ a single overlong line at a word boundary — so a long account of progress
+ cannot push the exact values out.
+
+*Why.* One JSON `summary` string under a 1,024-character ceiling lost the
+verbatim identifiers on every model it was measured on, while headed plain
+text with an adequate budget kept them. And a schema request is the one
+request that can come back as a parse failure: an object the model never
+closed, prose where an object was due. Headed text has no way to be malformed.
+
+### 6. The summariser's instructions are not the user's
+
+The instruction is the **system** message; the material is fenced as data in
+the user message (`…`); any sentence of the
+instruction echoed into the reply is removed; and every carrier opens with a
+line saying it was written by the runtime, not by the user, and is reference,
+not instruction. A summary that carried the compactor's own imperative forward
+has been seen attributed to the user, after which the run stopped acting.
+
+### 7. Re-injection
+
+The system prompt and the tool definitions are rebuilt for every request, so
+compaction never touches them. The ledger is put back after every pass, at the
+boundary between the compacted past and the kept present, and it lists the
+files touched most recently first, so the agent knows what to re-read rather
+than trusting a summary of its contents.
+
+### 8. The gate
+
+The gate measures the whole prompt — history plus the system prompt and tools
+the last request carried — against the trigger, which already sits below the
+window less the output reserve (see below). An opened pass aims at the target
+`R = compaction_target_ratio × min(T, P)`, so the next pass is many turns
+away, not one. A pass that frees less than `compaction_min_gain_ratio` backs
+the per-iteration gate off for `compaction_no_gain_backoff_iterations`.
+
+### 9. Reversibility
+
+Nothing is lost that cannot be found again. A masked output leaves a
+placeholder that names the tool, its size and the blob reference of the
+original. A summary, fold or floor digest names the blob holding the messages
+it replaced. A host that keeps its own durable transcript (and most do) is the
+second copy.
+
+### 10. What is never removed
+
+The first user turn of the run (the task), the ledger, frozen reference blocks
+(they may be blobbed by masking), the `compaction_keep_recent_turns` trailing
+messages (one after a provider refusal), and the batch of tool results the
+model has not read yet. Outside reactive recovery, turns seeded from an
+earlier run are untouched; reactive recovery may compact them, never in one
+span with this run's turns, and every replacement keeps the seed tag. An
+operator's turn is never summarised; a fold or the floor may take it only
+after the ledger has quoted it.
+
+### 11. Tool pairing stays whole
+
+A span is a closed component of tool calls and the results answering them;
+no tier ever leaves a call without its result or a result without its call.
+
+### 12. Replays stay replayable
+
+A carrier depends only on the messages it replaces: no timestamps, no
+identifiers minted at random. The same history produces the same requests,
+which is what lets a recorded run be replayed past its first compaction.
+
+## Budget arithmetic
+
+With `O = W × llm_output_max_tokens_ratio` when the provider reserves the
+output inside the window (`provider_reserves_output_in_context_window`), else
+0:
+
+```text
+T = min(W × compaction_trigger_ratio,
+ W − O − request_context_safety_tokens − W × compaction_trigger_turn_headroom_ratio)
+R = compaction_target_ratio × min(T, P_before)
+need = P + ledger growth − R # what the pass still has to free
+span ≤ compaction_summary_group_max_tokens # adjacent units joined, oldest first
+sent when span > max(empty-summary size, compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens)
+input ≤ min(compaction_summariser_input_max_tokens, W / 4)
+budget = clamp(span × compaction_summary_ratio,
+ compaction_summary_min_output_tokens,
+ compaction_summary_max_output_tokens) # a fold: compaction_fold_max_output_tokens
+wire = 2 × budget # room to overshoot; the clamp trims
+ledger = clamp(W × compaction_ledger_ratio,
+ compaction_ledger_min_tokens, compaction_ledger_max_tokens)
+```
+
+Section shares of a carrier's budget: Facts and values 35 %, Progress 25 %,
+Decisions and constraints 15 %, Open 15 %, Failures 10 %; whatever a section
+does not use is shared out in that order. Ledger shares: operator
+instructions 30 %, identifiers 30 %, files 15 %, open items 15 %, failures
+10 %, redistributed the same way.
+
+Example, a 256k window with a 64k output cap and a trigger ratio of 0.59:
+`T = min(151,040, 256,000 − 65,536 − 1,024 − 38,400) = 151,040`,
+`R = 90,624`; a 6,000-token span is summarised within 1,200 tokens, sent with
+a 2,400-token cap; the ledger may spend 5,120 tokens.
+
+## Failure states
+
+| Condition | What happens | Visible as |
+|---|---|---|
+| Summariser raises (5xx, rate limit, reset) | span stays; floor if needed | `tier2_failures.transport` |
+| Summariser gives no answer in time | call abandoned; span stays | `tier2_failures.timeout` |
+| Reply has no usable text | counted against the span; span stays | `tier2_failures.empty` |
+| Request larger than the summariser's window | counted against the span | `tier2_failures.too_large` |
+| Summary no smaller than its span | discarded | `tier2_failures.not_smaller` |
+| Reply is JSON, unterminated JSON, unheaded, or cut | recovered and kept | `tier2_recovered.*` |
+| Tiers stop short of the trigger | the floor removes oldest spans | `floor_dropped`, `outcome` |
+| Nothing left to remove, still over the trigger | the gate stops opening passes | `outcome = at_floor`, then no pass |
+| A tier raises at the floor (proactive) | summariser tiers suspended for a stretch | `compaction_exhausted_proactive_suspended` |
+| A tier raises at the floor (after a refusal) | output-cap ladder; the run fails only when no smaller cap is left | `reactive_413_compaction_exhausted` |
+| A `pre_compact` hook refuses | nothing written; the run returns to `RUNNING` | `compaction_refused_by_hook` |
+
+## Observability
+
+`compaction_completed` carries, besides the historical `tokens_before`,
+`tokens_after`, `tier1_freed`, `tier2_summarised` and `tier3_folded`:
+
+| Key | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `outcome` | `below_target`, `below_trigger`, `above_trigger`, `at_floor` or `unchanged` |
+| `prompt_before`, `prompt_after` | the whole prompt, overhead included |
+| `trigger_threshold`, `target_tokens` | the pass's `T` and `R` |
+| `tier1_masked_by_age` | outputs masked for their age rather than their size |
+| `tier2_attempted`, `tier2_failures`, `tier2_recovered` | calls made, failures by kind, replies recovered by kind |
+| `tier3_failures` | fold failures by kind |
+| `floor_dropped`, `floor_reached` | messages the floor removed; whether it ran out of things to remove |
+| `ledger_tokens` | the size of the rebuilt ledger |
+
+Every pass also logs one line, `DIAG compaction.pass`, with the same figures,
+and the floor logs `DIAG compaction.floor`.
+
+## Validating on an endpoint
+
+The carrier depends on the model that writes it: a format one endpoint handles
+well another may not. Two harnesses in the test suite are the shape to rerun
+against a real endpoint whenever the model or the endpoint changes:
+
+- `tests/_fixtures/compaction/planted.py` — a synthetic agent session of
+ about 150k tokens in six chunks, with fifty planted values of which fourteen
+ are graded by exact match after every chunk has been compacted and the
+ summaries folded; two of the fourteen have no shape the ledger can recognise.
+- `tests/_fixtures/compaction/long_loop_shape.json` — the shape, without its
+ content, of a long-running loop's history at the moment its compaction
+ stopped making progress: 357 messages, 153 tool definitions.
+
+`tests/unit/runtime/test_compaction_contract.py` drives both with summariser
+doubles that succeed, fail, hang, return JSON, return it unterminated, return
+nothing or keep nothing; point the same code at a real provider to measure it.
+

-- `runtime/context/compaction.py` — три прохода по транскрипту, по порядку,
- каждый берёт то, что не смог взять предыдущий.
- **Tier 1** заменяет вышедший за бюджет результат инструмента плейсхолдером,
- а байты кладёт в blob-хранилище; содержимое восстановимо, а превью говорит,
- что именно было сброшено. Он также может убрать устаревший reasoning или
- вышедший за бюджет замороженный reference-блок, сохраняя metadata сообщения,
- включая seed-provenance. Обычные **Tier 2** и **Tier 3** не меняют seed-ходы
- прошлых прогонов. **Tier 2** суммаризует старые ходы через
- compaction-LLM — по одному атомарному юниту: ассистентский ход `tool_use` и
- отвечающие ему результаты стоят или падают вместе, чтобы ни одна пара не
- осталась без половины. Ход, написанный оператором, не суммаризуется никогда:
- инструкция коротка, поэтому её пересказ почти ничего не освобождает, и она
- конкретна, поэтому пересказ — это переписывание: «убери поле model-name из
- заголовка» превращается в «пользователь просил правки», и дальше прогон
- действует уже по этому. **Tier 3** сворачивает то, что оставил Tier 2: за
- длинную сессию по одному саммари на пакет инструментов плюс каждое
- сообщение оператора становятся всем окном, и ни один нижний проход не может
- снять с них ни байта. Каждый непрерывный отрезок таких сообщений длиной не
- меньше `compaction_fold_min_messages` и весом не меньше
- `compaction_fold_min_tokens` становится одним сводным саммари, в котором
- инструкции оператора сохраняются точными цитатами; ход-задача и
- `compaction_fold_keep_operator_turns` последних инструкций остаются
- дословно. При реактивном восстановлении после переполнения провайдера seed-only отрезки
- можно суммаризовать и сворачивать, оставляя дословно лишь
- `compaction_force_keep_recent_turns` последних сообщений (по умолчанию одно); тег
- seed переносится на каждую замену, а границы seed/current разделяют отрезки,
- поэтому фильтр сохранения хоста не смешивает прогоны. Замороженные
- compaction-reference блоки остаются защищёнными. Свёртка — такое же саммари,
- как любое другое, поэтому более поздняя свёртка поглотит её, когда её
- окрестность снова разрастётся.
-
- Оба суммаризатора собирают запрос через `build_llm_request`, пишут его в
- манифест запросов и получают два одинаковых правила, от которых зависит
- ценность саммари: сохранять каждый идентификатор — пути, id, порты, URL,
- числа, коды ошибок — дословно, а не подставлять правдоподобное значение, и
- называть исход, за которым нет результата инструмента или подтверждения,
- НЕИЗВЕСТНЫМ, а не выполненным или невыполненным. Промпт на ход называет свой
- бюджет и в символах, а не только в словах, прямо говорит, что более длинный
- ответ обрезается и отбрасывается, просит вместо копии длинного результата
- инструмента указать число записей и сохранить значимые и называет
- единственный ожидаемый ключ: модель, перечислявшая каждую запись длинного
- результата, писала ответ, который обрезал лимит вывода, а обрезанный ответ не
- разбирается никогда. Обе инструкции — шаблоны
- (`compaction_turn_summary`, `compaction_fold_summary`), а не литералы, так
- что оператору, работающему на другом языке, есть куда положить перевод.
-
- Стоимость одного прохода ограничена по всем осям: юнит меньше
- `compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens` не отправляется вовсе (суммаризатор
- пишет две-три фразы независимо от входа, поэтому ниже некоторого размера
- вызов тратится на то, чтобы узнать, что саммари не меньше оригинала),
- словарный бюджет в промпте масштабируется от размера юнита, а не задан
- фиксированным числом предложений, и ограничен тем, что вмещает лимит вывода
- при `compaction_summary_output_tokens_per_word` (четыре: английская оценка в
- два токена на слово не учитывает ни JSON-экранирование, ни нелатинское
- письмо, а бюджет, посчитанный по ней, возвращается обрезанным, не разбирается
- и не фиксируется) за вычетом `compaction_summary_envelope_tokens` на сам
- JSON вокруг слов и не больше того, что примет `maxLength` грамматики, вызовы
- уходят по
- `compaction_summariser_parallelism` за раз, а не цепочкой, пока прогон
- стоит в `COMPACTING`, и свёртка берёт не больше
- `compaction_fold_max_spans_per_pass` отрезков за проход. Саммари, которое
- вернулось не меньше заменяемого, отбрасывается, а не фиксируется.
-
- Вызов, провалившийся по причине, принадлежащей самому юниту, — запрос не
- помещается в окно суммаризатора или в ответе нет читаемого саммари, потому
- что лимит вывода обрезал конверт, — записывается на ЭТОТ юнит в
- `CompactionState.failed_anchor_keys`, и после
- `compaction_summary_failed_unit_max_attempts` обычный проход перестаёт его
- отправлять; у яруса свёртки остаётся своя попытка. Больше не засчитывается
- ничто: сбой транспорта (лимит частоты, 5xx, перезапуск суммаризатора) не
- говорит о юните ничего, как и саммари, просто оказавшееся не меньше
- оригинала. Остальные юниты пакета фиксируются в любом случае, поэтому один
- непосильный для суммаризатора юнит больше не обнуляет весь проход.
- Принудительные проходы перепись игнорируют и пробуют каждый юнит: они идут
- тогда, когда альтернатива — конец прогона. Перепись едет в снимке прогона, а
- записи, юнит которых ушёл из транскрипта, вычищаются в конце каждого прохода,
- так что она не растёт бесконечно.
-
- Отдельно от переписи проход списывается с бюджета повторов, ограниченного
- `compaction_failed_max_retries`. Списывается только проход, который пытался
- и не смог, — ярус выбросил исключение или вызов суммаризатора был сделан и
- ничего не дал, — и списывается один раз, сколько бы ярусов ни упало. Обычные
- и проактивные проходы делят `CompactionState.retry_count`; реактивный проход
- после отказа провайдера ведёт свой `CompactionState.reactive_retry_count`,
- потому что только этот профиль может уплотнять засеянную историю, и провалы
- проактивных проходов о нём ничего не доказывают. Прогресс любого профиля
- обнуляет оба счётчика — следующий проход любого вида видит уже другую
- историю, — и `rearm()` обнуляет их тоже. Сбой транспорта поэтому стоит
- проходу один повтор, а юниту ничего; сбой, принадлежащий юниту,
- засчитывается ещё и юниту. Принудительные проходы перепись игнорируют в
- любом случае. Оба счётчика едут в снимке прогона.
-
- Проактивный проход (обычный, аварийный на старте хода, поитерационный)
- решается до того, как открыться. `ContextManager.has_proactive_work`
- спрашивает каждый ярус, изменил бы он что-нибудь в проактивном профиле, ничего
- не меняя; если ни один не изменил бы — обычный случай: история из засеянных
- ходов, — гейт не открывает транзакцию вовсе: ни `COMPACTING`, ни событий,
- хуков, строки расхода или снимка. Движок запоминает эту пробу вместе с
- историей и константами, которые она видела, и не спрашивает снова, пока не
- изменится одно из них. За пределом бюджета проактивный проход не завершает
- прогон: провайдер ещё ничего не отклонил, поэтому проактивные ярусы
- суммаризатора приостанавливаются (изменение состояния
- `compaction_exhausted_proactive_suspended` при каждом исчерпании бюджета
- проактивным проходом; `retry_count` не сбрасывается, так что после
- приостановки один неудачный проход приостанавливает снова), и запрос уходит. Ярус 1 не
- нуждается в LLM и продолжает работать во время приостановки. Приостановка
- кончается через `compaction_proactive_suspension_iterations` визитов гейта
- или когда промпт вырос на `compaction_proactive_suspension_growth_ratio` от
- своего размера в момент приостановки — что наступит раньше. Отказ по
- контексту снимает её сразу — отказ провайдера или локальной подгонки по
- оценке либо точному подсчёту, оба запускают реактивный проход, — как и
- `rearm()` и возобновление из снимка, который её не несёт. Реактивный проход
- за пределом своего бюджета передаёт ход лестнице лимита вывода, пока есть
- меньший лимит, и проваливает прогон, только когда его нет.
-
- Обычный поитерационный гейт также отступает на
- `compaction_no_gain_backoff_iterations` итераций после прохода, освободившего
- меньше `compaction_min_gain_ratio`; счётчик переживает посообщенческий сброс
- восстановления, который раньше обнулял его до того, как тот успевал что-то
- пропустить. Отступ кончается раньше, когда промпт вырос на
- `compaction_no_gain_backoff_growth_ratio` от своего размера в момент
- отступа, и при любом отказе по контексту.

+Длинный запуск перерастает своё окно. Компакция — то, что позволяет ему
+продолжаться: она убирает из промпта самую старую часть транскрипта и
+оставляет на её месте что-то меньшее. Эта страница формулирует, что компакция
+гарантирует — в терминах, которые может проверить тест, — и зачем нужен каждый
+пункт. За каждым пунктом стоит сбой, случившийся в реальной долгой сессии.
+
+## Словарь

+|---|---|
+| окно `W` | `model_context_window`, окно контекста провайдера в токенах |
+| промпт `P` | весь запрос: история **плюс** системный промпт и определения инструментов (*накладные расходы*), в откалиброванных токенах |
+| триггер `T` | `compaction_trigger_tokens` (см. [Арифметику бюджета](#арифметика-бюджета)); проход открывается при `P > T` |
+| цель `R` | куда целится открытый проход; `R < T` |
+| проход | один прогон каскада ниже, открытый гейтом |
+| отрезок | то, за что отвечает одна выжимка: один или несколько соседних блоков вызова инструмента с ответами |
+| носитель | текст, заменяющий отрезок: выжимка, свёртка или сводка пола |
+| реестр | единственное сообщение, которое выносит точные значения из сжатых отрезков; пишет его код |
+| защищённое множество | то, что не может убрать ни один уровень (см. [инвариант 10](#10-что-не-убирается-никогда)) |
+
+## Инварианты
+
+### 1. Прогресс
+
+Каждый открытый проход заканчивается с `P ≤ T` или на **полу**: вне
+защищённого множества убирать больше нечего. Проход, который ничего не мог бы
+изменить, не открывается вовсе. Ни один запуск не падает из-за того, что
+компакция «не продвинулась», и ни один гейт не срабатывает на каждой итерации.
+
+*Почему.* Запуск на истории из сотен коротких раундов при большой поверхности
+инструментов открывал проход на каждой итерации, освобождал по 0–3 токена и
+упал на бюджете повторов после 75 проходов. Гейт мерил весь промпт; проходы
+могли уменьшать только историю, и ни одному уровню не было что взять.
+
+Бюджет повторов (`compaction_failed_max_retries`) остаётся только для случая,
+где пол не поможет: история уже на полу, и какой-то уровень бросил исключение.
+Проактивный проход, исчерпавший его, приостанавливает уровни с суммаризатором
+на ограниченный срок (маскирование и пол продолжают работать); реактивный
+передаёт ход лестнице уменьшения выходного лимита и валит запуск только когда
+лимит уменьшать некуда — единственная ситуация, в которой историю невозможно
+вместить.
+
+### 2. Порядок уровней
+
+Проход идёт от дешёвого к дорогому и только пока промпт выше цели:
+
+1. **Маскирование** (`run_tier1_truncation`). Выводы инструментов вне
+ сохраняемого хвоста заменяются заглушкой: любой вывод размером не меньше
+ `tool_result_truncation_ratio × W` и — от старых к новым, пока цель не
+ достигнута — любой вывод старше `compaction_mask_keep_recent_results`
+ последних и длиной не меньше `compaction_mask_min_tokens`. Модели не
+ требует и отказать из-за её отсутствия не может.
+2. **Суммаризация** (`run_tier2_summarisation`, затем `run_tier3_fold`).
+ Самые старые отрезки заменяются выжимкой модели; затем серии старых выжимок
+ и старых реплик оператора сворачиваются в одну свёртку, которую позже может
+ поглотить следующая.
+3. **Пол** (`run_floor`). Если промпт всё ещё выше триггера (выше цели для
+ принудительного прохода — после отказа провайдера или при оценке за
+ аварийной чертой), убираются самые старые отрезки, сырые раньше выжимок,
+ пока цель не достигнута или убирать больше нечего. На их месте остаётся
+ одна сводка, написанная кодом.
+
+Выжимка — улучшение по сравнению с полом, но никогда не условие прогресса.
+
+### 3. Неудавшаяся или отсутствующая выжимка — нормальный исход
+
+Вызов суммаризатора заканчивается одним из: выжимка, `transport` (провайдер
+бросил исключение), `timeout` (нет ответа за
+`compaction_summary_timeout_seconds`), `empty` (нет пригодного текста),
+`too_large` (запрос не помещается в окно суммаризатора) или `not_smaller`
+(выжимка не меньше отрезка). Ни один из них не валит проход: отрезок
+остаётся, и пол заберёт его, если место нужно. Против отрезка засчитываются
+только `empty` и `too_large`
+(`compaction_summary_failed_unit_max_attempts`), потому что только они
+повторяются.
+
+**Вход суммаризатора ограничен по построению** величиной
+`min(compaction_summariser_input_max_tokens, W / 4)`: отрезок больше этого
+показывается с выводами инструментов, урезанными до первых и последних
+строк, и никогда не посреди строки. По умолчанию суммаризатор — та же модель,
+что только что отказала в запросе как в слишком длинном; её вход обязан
+поместиться.
+
+### 4. Факты — из состояния, а не из модели
+
+Точные значения переносит код, в **реестре**, а не суммаризатор. Всякий раз,
+убирая что-то из окна, уровень сначала записывает из уходящих сообщений:
+
+- указания оператора дословно (обрезанные по границе строки);
+- файлы, которые агент прочитал, записал или отредактировал, — по
+ объявленной роли инструмента;
+- идентификаторы и точные значения узнаваемой формы — URL, UUID, пути, хэши,
+ временные метки, версии, пары `host:port`, хэндлы, токены вида
+ идентификатора — каждый вместе со строкой, в которой стоял;
+- упавшие вызовы инструментов с первой строкой их сообщения;
+- последний записанный агентом план и заданные им вопросы.
+
+Реестр — одно сообщение роли user с меткой `protocore.compaction_ledger`; его
+метаданные хранят собственное структурированное состояние, и каждый проход
+пересобирает реестр из этого состояния и того, что проход убрал. Суммаризатору
+он **никогда** не показывается — запись, которую модель переписывает при
+каждой свёртке, накапливает ошибки, — и ни один уровень его не сжимает.
+Значения шумной формы (временные метки, голые числа, хэши) берутся только из
+реплик оператора, собственного текста и аргументов агента и из *отличительных
+строк* вывода инструмента — строк, форма которых, без учёта чисел, в выводе не
+повторяется. Лог в тысячу строк называет свою настройку, ошибку или результат
+один раз; эта строка и сохраняется.
+
+Чего реестр не делает: не узнаёт значения без формы. Количество с единицей
+измерения или имя остаются задачей выжимки.
+
+### 5. Носитель
+
+Выжимка — это **обычный текст под пятью фиксированными заголовками**:
+`## Progress`, `## Facts and values`, `## Decisions and constraints`,
+`## Failures`, `## Open`. Она запрашивается через
+`ILLMProvider.complete_text` — никогда под схемой ответа — и читается терпимо
+функцией `read_carrier`:
+
+- блоки рассуждений и ограждения кода удаляются;
+- JSON-обёртка, которую модель всё же написала, разворачивается — целая или
+ незакрытая;
+- ответ без заголовков сохраняется под `## Notes`;
+- ответ, обрезанный выходным лимитом, теряет последнюю незаконченную строку, а
+ не всё остальное;
+- каждый раздел урезается до своей доли бюджета по границам строк — одна
+ чрезмерно длинная строка по границе слова, — поэтому длинный рассказ о
+ ходе работы не может вытеснить точные значения.
+
+*Почему.* Одна JSON-строка `summary` с потолком в 1 024 символа теряла
+дословные идентификаторы на каждой модели, на которой её измеряли, а обычный
+текст под заголовками с достаточным бюджетом их сохранял. И запрос по схеме —
+единственный запрос, который может вернуться ошибкой разбора: объект, который
+модель не закрыла, проза вместо объекта. У текста под заголовками способа
+оказаться некорректным нет.
+
+### 6. Инструкции суммаризатора — не слова пользователя
+
+Инструкция — **системное** сообщение; материал отгорожен как данные в
+сообщении пользователя (`…`); любое предложение
+инструкции, повторённое в ответе, удаляется; и каждый носитель начинается со
+строки о том, что его написала среда выполнения, а не пользователь, и что
+это справка, а не указание. Выжимку, пронёсшую дальше повелительную фразу
+самого компактора, видели приписанной пользователю — после чего запуск
+перестал действовать.
+
+### 7. Повторная подача
+
+Системный промпт и определения инструментов собираются заново для каждого
+запроса, поэтому компакция их никогда не трогает. Реестр возвращается после
+каждого прохода на границу между сжатым прошлым и сохранённым настоящим и
+перечисляет затронутые файлы, начиная с последних, — агент знает, что
+перечитать, вместо того чтобы доверять выжимке их содержимого.
+
+### 8. Гейт
+
+Гейт мерит весь промпт — историю плюс системный промпт и инструменты, которые
+нёс последний запрос, — против триггера, который и так стоит ниже окна за
+вычетом выходного резерва (см. ниже). Открытый проход целится в
+`R = compaction_target_ratio × min(T, P)`, поэтому следующий проход наступит
+через много ходов, а не через один. Проход, освободивший меньше
+`compaction_min_gain_ratio`, откладывает гейт на каждой итерации на
+`compaction_no_gain_backoff_iterations`.
+
+### 9. Обратимость
+
+Не теряется ничего, что нельзя найти снова. Замаскированный вывод оставляет
+заглушку с именем инструмента, размером и ссылкой на blob с оригиналом.
+Выжимка, свёртка или сводка пола называет blob с сообщениями, которые она
+заменила. Хост, ведущий собственный долговременный транскрипт (а большинство
+ведут), — вторая копия.
+
+### 10. Что не убирается никогда
+
+Первая реплика пользователя в запуске (задача), реестр, замороженные
+справочные блоки (маскирование может убрать их в blob),
+`compaction_keep_recent_turns` последних сообщений (одно — после отказа
+провайдера) и пакет результатов инструментов, который модель ещё не прочла.
+Вне реактивного восстановления реплики, перенесённые из прежнего запуска, не
+трогаются; реактивное восстановление может их сжать, но никогда в одном
+отрезке с репликами текущего запуска, и каждая замена сохраняет метку
+переноса. Реплика оператора никогда не суммаризуется; свёртка или пол могут
+её забрать только после того, как реестр её процитировал.
+
+### 11. Пары вызовов остаются целыми
+
+Отрезок — замкнутая компонента вызовов инструментов и отвечающих им
+результатов; ни один уровень не оставляет вызов без результата или результат
+без вызова.
+
+### 12. Повторы остаются воспроизводимыми
+
+Носитель зависит только от сообщений, которые он заменяет: никаких временных
+меток и случайно созданных идентификаторов. Одна и та же история даёт одни и
+те же запросы — это и позволяет воспроизвести записанный запуск после его
+первой компакции.
+
+## Арифметика бюджета
+
+При `O = W × llm_output_max_tokens_ratio`, если провайдер резервирует вывод
+внутри окна (`provider_reserves_output_in_context_window`), иначе 0:
+
+```text
+T = min(W × compaction_trigger_ratio,
+ W − O − request_context_safety_tokens − W × compaction_trigger_turn_headroom_ratio)
+R = compaction_target_ratio × min(T, P_before)
+need = P + рост реестра − R # сколько проходу ещё освободить
+span ≤ compaction_summary_group_max_tokens # соседние блоки, от старых к новым
+отправка при span > max(размер пустой выжимки, compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens)
+вход ≤ min(compaction_summariser_input_max_tokens, W / 4)
+бюджет = clamp(span × compaction_summary_ratio,
+ compaction_summary_min_output_tokens,
+ compaction_summary_max_output_tokens) # свёртка: compaction_fold_max_output_tokens
+провод = 2 × бюджет # запас на перерасход; урезание обрежет
+реестр = clamp(W × compaction_ledger_ratio,
+ compaction_ledger_min_tokens, compaction_ledger_max_tokens)
+```
+
+Доли бюджета носителя по разделам: Facts and values 35 %, Progress 25 %,
+Decisions and constraints 15 %, Open 15 %, Failures 10 %; неиспользованное
+разделом раздаётся в этом же порядке. Доли реестра: указания оператора 30 %,
+идентификаторы 30 %, файлы 15 %, открытые пункты 15 %, сбои 10 %,
+перераспределение такое же.
+
+Пример: окно 256k, выходной лимит 64k, доля триггера 0,59:
+`T = min(151 040, 256 000 − 65 536 − 1 024 − 38 400) = 151 040`,
+`R = 90 624`; отрезок в 6 000 токенов сжимается до 1 200 токенов и
+отправляется с лимитом 2 400; реестр может занять 5 120 токенов.
+
+## Состояния отказа
+
+| Условие | Что происходит | Где видно |
+|---|---|---|
+| Суммаризатор бросил исключение (5xx, лимит, сброс) | отрезок остаётся; при нужде пол | `tier2_failures.transport` |
+| Суммаризатор не ответил вовремя | вызов брошен; отрезок остаётся | `tier2_failures.timeout` |
+| В ответе нет пригодного текста | засчитано против отрезка; отрезок остаётся | `tier2_failures.empty` |
+| Запрос больше окна суммаризатора | засчитано против отрезка | `tier2_failures.too_large` |
+| Выжимка не меньше отрезка | отброшена | `tier2_failures.not_smaller` |
+| Ответ — JSON, незакрытый JSON, без заголовков или обрезан | восстановлен и сохранён | `tier2_recovered.*` |
+| Уровни не дотянули до триггера | пол убирает самые старые отрезки | `floor_dropped`, `outcome` |
+| Убирать нечего, промпт всё ещё выше триггера | гейт перестаёт открывать проходы | `outcome = at_floor`, затем проходов нет |
+| Уровень бросил исключение на полу (проактивно) | уровни с суммаризатором приостановлены на срок | `compaction_exhausted_proactive_suspended` |
+| Уровень бросил исключение на полу (после отказа) | лестница выходного лимита; запуск падает, только когда уменьшать некуда | `reactive_413_compaction_exhausted` |
+| Хук `pre_compact` отказал | ничего не записано; запуск возвращается в `RUNNING` | `compaction_refused_by_hook` |
+
+## Наблюдаемость
+
+`compaction_completed` несёт, помимо исторических `tokens_before`,
+`tokens_after`, `tier1_freed`, `tier2_summarised` и `tier3_folded`:
+
+| Ключ | Значение |
+|---|---|
+| `outcome` | `below_target`, `below_trigger`, `above_trigger`, `at_floor` или `unchanged` |
+| `prompt_before`, `prompt_after` | весь промпт вместе с накладными расходами |
+| `trigger_threshold`, `target_tokens` | `T` и `R` прохода |
+| `tier1_masked_by_age` | выводы, замаскированные за возраст, а не за размер |
+| `tier2_attempted`, `tier2_failures`, `tier2_recovered` | сделанные вызовы, сбои по видам, восстановленные ответы по видам |
+| `tier3_failures` | сбои свёртки по видам |
+| `floor_dropped`, `floor_reached` | сколько сообщений убрал пол; кончилось ли у него, что убирать |
+| `ledger_tokens` | размер пересобранного реестра |
+
+Каждый проход также пишет одну строку `DIAG compaction.pass` с теми же
+цифрами, а пол пишет `DIAG compaction.floor`.
+
+## Проверка на конкретном эндпоинте
+
+Носитель зависит от модели, которая его пишет: формат, с которым хорошо
+справляется один эндпоинт, может не даться другому. Два стенда в наборе
+тестов — та форма, которую стоит прогонять на реальном эндпоинте всякий раз,
+когда меняется модель или эндпоинт:
+
+- `tests/_fixtures/compaction/planted.py` — синтетическая сессия агента
+ примерно в 150k токенов из шести частей, с пятьюдесятью посаженными
+ значениями, четырнадцать из которых оцениваются точным совпадением после
+ того, как каждая часть сжата, а выжимки свёрнуты; у двух из четырнадцати
+ нет формы, которую мог бы узнать реестр.
+- `tests/_fixtures/compaction/long_loop_shape.json` — форма (без содержимого)
+ истории долгого цикла в момент, когда его компакция перестала
+ продвигаться: 357 сообщений, 153 определения инструментов.
+
+`tests/unit/runtime/test_compaction_contract.py` прогоняет оба стенда с
+двойниками суммаризатора, которые справляются, падают, зависают, отвечают
+JSON, отвечают незакрытым JSON, не отвечают ничего или ничего не сохраняют;
+направьте тот же код на реального провайдера, чтобы его измерить.

+"""The compaction carrier: what a summary is asked to be, and what is kept of it.
+
+A summary is plain text under five fixed headings. It is requested with
+:meth:`ILLMProvider.complete_text`, never under a response schema, and it is
+read tolerantly: whatever the model returns — headed text, text without
+headings, a JSON envelope it wrote anyway, a reply the output cap cut — is
+turned into the same shape, cut to its budget at line boundaries, and kept.
+
+Why not JSON. A single ``summary`` string under a character ceiling lost the
+identifiers a later turn needed on every model it was measured on, while
+headed plain text with an adequate budget kept them; a schema request is also
+the one kind of request that can come back as a parse failure — an object the
+model never closed, prose where an object was due — and every such failure
+threw away a summary that was otherwise fine. Headed text has no way to be
+malformed: missing headings leave the text under one catch-all section, and a
+cut reply loses its last line rather than all of it.
+
+Why fixed headings with their own budgets. A summary that runs long is cut,
+and a cut that falls at the end of the text falls on whatever the model wrote
+last. Each section is clamped on its own, so a long account of progress cannot
+push the exact values out of the carrier.
+
+Why the instruction sits in the system role. The summariser reads a transcript
+full of imperative sentences, and its own instruction is one more of them; a
+summary that carried the instruction forward has been seen to present it as
+something the user asked for. The instruction is therefore the system message,
+the transcript is fenced as data in the user message, any sentence of the
+instruction echoed into the reply is removed, and the carrier says, in its own
+header, that it was written by the runtime.

- (renderer = :mod:`protocore.runtime.wire_format`). Full payload stored
- in :class:`IBlobStore`. Loop oldest-first; stop when enough freed.

-Tier 2 — old-turn summarisation:
- For turns older than ``compaction_keep_recent_turns`` (or, when recovery
- answers a provider rejection, ``compaction_force_keep_recent_turns``), call
- :meth:`ILLMProvider.complete_structured` with :func:`build_summary_schema`
- and replace the turn with a user-role message containing the summary. Strip
- injection patterns before sending to the summariser. An operator turn is
- never summarised: an instruction is short, and a summary of an instruction
- is where "remove the model-name field" becomes "the user asked for changes".
-
-Tier 3 — folding what Tier 2 leaves behind:
- Tier 2 leaves one summary per tool batch and never touches a summary again,
- and it keeps every operator turn verbatim, so a long session ends up with a
- window made almost entirely of those two kinds of message. Tier 3 replaces
- each contiguous run of them with ONE consolidated summary in which the

+ than ``tool_result_truncation_threshold``, and — when the pass still needs
+ room — any output older than the ``compaction_mask_keep_recent_results`` most
+ recent. Needs no model and cannot fail for want of one.
+
+Tier 2 — summarising (:func:`run_tier2_summarisation`). The oldest spans (an
+ assistant turn with the results answering it, or a run of small ones joined)
+ are replaced by a summary written by the compaction LLM as plain text under
+ fixed headings (:mod:`protocore.runtime.context.carrier`). The summariser is
+ shown masked outputs in full, read back from the blob store, within a bounded
+ input. An operator turn is never summarised here.
+
+Tier 2b — folding (:func:`run_tier3_fold`). Runs of old summaries and old
+ operator turns are merged into one summary. The operator's wording does not
+ depend on the merge: it is copied into the ledger by code first.
+
+Floor (:func:`run_floor`). What the tiers above could not bring under the
+ target is removed, oldest span first, and replaced by one runtime digest
+ written by code. Nothing a model does can stop it.
+
+Every tier records what it removes in the compaction ledger
+(:mod:`protocore.runtime.context.ledger`) before it removes it.

+ asks the same sentence or three of every small tool exchange, and a run
+ that works in many short rounds — one small tool call and a short result
+ each, hundreds of times — used to have no unit worth a call at all: over a

+ makes every old round small, so the same holds of any long run.
+
+ So adjacent units are joined, oldest first, until the next one would pass
+ the cap; a unit larger than the cap is a span of its own. Units join only
+ when nothing lies between them (a summary, an operator turn, a unit left
+ alone for any reason ends the span), when every unit is contiguous in
+ itself, and when they share a seed provenance, so the replacement can carry
+ exactly one. Tool pairing stays whole because each unit is already a closed
+ pairing component. A span is sent only when it clears the floor
+ (``compaction_summary_min_unit_tokens``, and the empty-summary size under
+ it); a smaller one waits until later rounds grow it. The span is keyed by
+ its first anchor, so the failure census and the dedup set treat it as that

+"""The compaction ledger: facts that leave the window are carried by code.
+
+A summary is a model's account of what happened, and a model rounds, merges,
+paraphrases and — under pressure — substitutes a plausible value for the one
+it was shown. The values a later turn needs exactly (a port, a path, an id, a
+timestamp, the operator's own wording of a rule) are therefore not left to it.
+Whenever compaction takes something out of the window — masks a tool output,
+summarises a span, folds summaries, drops a span at the floor — the same pass
+reads the outgoing messages and records, by code:
+
+* the operator's instructions, verbatim (clipped at a line boundary);
+* the files the agent read, wrote or edited, by the tool's declared role;
+* identifiers and exact values of recognisable shape — URLs, paths, UUIDs,
+ hashes, timestamps, versions, host:port pairs, handles, id-shaped tokens;
+* the tool calls that failed, with the first line of what they said;
+* the latest plan the agent recorded and the questions it asked.
+
+The ledger is ONE user-role message, tagged :data:`LEDGER_METADATA_KEY`, that
+holds its own structured state in that metadata. Every pass rebuilds it from
+that state plus what the pass removed, renders it within its budget and puts
+it back at the boundary between the compacted past and the raw present. It is
+never shown to the summariser — a record that is rewritten by a model on every
+fold compounds its errors — and no tier compacts it.
+
+What the ledger does not try to be. Recognising a value by its shape is not
+understanding it: a count ("19 shards") or a name has no shape, and those stay
+the summary's job. A shape that also matches noise (every timestamp in a log)
+is taken only from the places where noise is rare — the operator's turns, the
+agent's own text and its tool arguments — and from tool outputs only the
+shapes that are rarely noise (URLs, UUIDs, absolute paths, host:port pairs,
+version tags). Past its budget the oldest and lowest-ranked entries go first.

+# ruff: noqa: RUF001 — one planted value is a Cyrillic name on purpose: it has no shape code can recognise.
+"""A synthetic long agent session with planted, non-derivable facts.
+
+The method is that of a fold-and-recall study: fifty values are planted,
+fourteen are graded by exact match, each appears exactly once, and the graded
+ones are spread across the session so that every fold boundary has some in
+front of it. None can be derived from another, a range or a pattern; two have
+no recognisable shape at all (a count with its unit, a name in Cyrillic), so
+only a summary can carry them. The dialogue is an agent's — tool calls, tool
+outputs of repetitive log lines, short operator turns — because that is what
+the core compacts.
+
+``build(seed)`` returns six chunks of messages, the fourteen graded
+``(label, value, where, chunk, sentence)`` and every planted value.
