+// #2004 — the FORCED (server-initiated) context-limit boundary has no fresh workingState from the

+// envelope that was already persisted, rather than capturing/advancing a new generation. That keeps
+// this path synchronous (no archive write) and, crucially, never invents a blank continuation.
+//
+// Provider-shape selection (#2004 review MAJOR-1 / round-3):
+//   * The provider MUST advertise a resume ROUTE (context.resume !== "none"). A resume:"none"
+//     provider — even one that can compact — has NO promised native/clear-inject handshake, so
+//     attaching a self-resume plan would start NativeSelfResumeTracker against a compact that never
+//     emits compacted+idle → the native-self-resume timeout fires → command settles `failed` →
+//     NEITHER the continuation
+//     inject NOR the bare-command identity/startup inject fires: the exact silent post-compact
+//     strand this issue exists to kill. Such a provider returns null here and falls through to a
+//     bare compact, whose identity/startup hooks still reinject the charter. This matches the
+//     assertResumeSupported capability contract.
+//   * With a resume route, a provider that can compact (context.compact) uses an IN-PLACE
+//     agent.compact so its OWN current-thread summary is preserved — critical because the forced
+//     envelope may be STALE (work since the last self-resume lives only in that summary). The stored
+//     envelope + identity are re-injected AFTER the compact by the post-command inject. Claude
+//     (resume "native", compact accepts instructions) additionally passes the continuation as
+//     `/compact <instructions>`; codex (resume "clear-inject" but compact-capable, no instruction
+//     support) compacts in place and relies solely on the post-command inject — we must NOT pretend
+//     it supports instructioned compaction. Both settle through the native self-resume handshake,
+//     which codex's awaited threadCompactStart (emits compacted+idle) resolves.
+//   * A compaction-LESS clear+inject provider uses agent.clearContext with a coupled,
+//     identity-augmented continuation (there is no in-place summary to preserve).
+//
+// The `selfResume` payload matches the self-initiated createNativeCompact / createClearThenInject
+// shapes, so the reactive/sweep reinjection (#1023) plus the #1998 objective-epoch render guarantees
