-Uses Pi's native compaction before a model turn when the current context reaches `extensions.autoCompact.tokenLimit`, which defaults to 175,000 tokens for every model. Interrupted work resumes through a hidden continuation message without an attention alert until the resumed work settles. Pi's native collapsed compaction entry remains visible in chat.
