/**
* Chat Context Compressor
*
* Compresses 1:1 chat conversation history before sending to upstream.
* Uses the Hermes structured summary prompt for LLM-based compression.
*
* Algorithm:
* 1. If total tokens < trigger threshold → return as-is
* 2. Pre-clean: truncate old tool results (no LLM call)
* 3. Load snapshot from SQLite for incremental update
* 4. Keep last 20 messages verbatim (tail protection by message count)
* 5. Summarize everything before the tail
* 6. Save snapshot: last_message_index = index where compression ends

they were already addressed.
Your current task is identified in the '## Active Task' section of the
summary — resume exactly from there.
Respond ONLY to the latest user message
that appears AFTER this summary. The current session state (files,
config, etc.) may reflect work described here — avoid repeating it:`

## Active Task
[THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FIELD. Copy the user's most recent request or
task assignment verbatim — the exact words they used. If multiple tasks
were requested and only some are done, list only the ones NOT yet completed.
The next assistant must pick up exactly here. Example:
"User asked: 'Now refactor the auth module to use JWT instead of sessions'"
If no outstanding task exists, write "None."]
## Goal
[What the user is trying to accomplish overall]
## Constraints & Preferences
[User preferences, coding style, constraints, important decisions]
## Completed Actions
[Numbered list of concrete actions taken — include tool used, target, and outcome.
Format each as: N. ACTION target — outcome [tool: name]
Example:
1. READ config.py:45 — found == should be != [tool: read_file]
2. PATCH config.py:45 — changed == to != [tool: patch]
3. TEST pytest tests/ — 3/50 failed: test_parse, test_validate, test_edge [tool: terminal]
Be specific with file paths, commands, line numbers, and results.]
## Active State
[Current working state — include:
- Working directory and branch (if applicable)
- Modified/created files with brief note on each
- Test status (X/Y passing)
- Any running processes or servers
- Environment details that matter]
## In Progress
[Work currently underway — what was being done when compaction fired]
## Blocked
[Any blockers, errors, or issues not yet resolved. Include exact error messages.]
## Key Decisions
[Important technical decisions and WHY they were made]
## Resolved Questions
[Questions the user asked that were ALREADY answered — include the answer so the next assistant does not re-answer them]
## Pending User Asks
[Questions or requests from the user that have NOT yet been answered or fulfilled. If none, write "None."]
## Relevant Files
[Files read, modified, or created — with brief note on each]
## Remaining Work
[What remains to be done — framed as context, not instructions]
## Critical Context
[Any specific values, error messages, configuration details, or data that would be lost without explicit preservation]`

done. Move answered questions to "Resolved Questions". Update "Active State"

request — this is the most important field for task continuity.
