-- `session/compaction_recall_prompt.py` runs on `SessionStart` matcher `compact` at `10` seconds in `hooks.json`. The condensing hook is a `type: "agent"` hook on `PostToolUse` matcher `Bash`, with `if` set to `Bash(*compaction_user_messages.py*)`, model `haiku`, and a `180` second timeout.

The hook's Read call obeys session permissions, so the package `settings.json` allows `Read(~/.claude/compaction-recall/**)`.

 - In Cursor, `session/deepen_first_prompt.py` also runs on `beforeSubmitPrompt`. Cursor passes that event name to the `UserPromptSubmit` copy it imports from the Claude Code settings too. When both copies run, `session/deepen_turn_marker.py` creates the turn marker only when it does not exist yet, so one copy injects. A later prompt skips when either the transcript marker or the session marker exists, or when the transcript already has a user line in Claude Code's or Cursor's shape.
