+// Idle-triggered compaction.
+//
+// A conversation that pauses long enough loses the provider's prompt cache. The next request pays
+// full price for a prefix the provider no longer holds, and it pays it again on the turn after
+// that if nothing changes. How long a provider keeps its cache is its own business and differs
+// per provider: Anthropic 5 minutes by default and 1 hour when the request asks for it, OpenAI 30
+// minutes, Gemini and DeepSeek publish no lifetime at all. So the time is a setting, not a
+// constant, and the default is the longest of those that is documented rather than the shortest,
+// because compacting a cache that is still warm throws history away and pays the cache write
+// again for nothing.
+//
+// What this does with the result is the part that matters, and it depends on the client:
+//
+//   - The request that is on its way out is shortened, so this turn costs the tokens of the
+//     summary instead of the tokens of the history. That saving is real whichever client it is.
+//   - For Claude Code the session file is also written, so the next resume starts from the
+//     summary instead of from the history. Claude Code reads that file to build every request, so
+//     the shortening lasts rather than lasting one turn.
+//
+// Codex needs neither half of that from here. Its compaction is a protocol item, not a file: a
+// compaction_trigger in, one compaction output item out, and Codex stores it in its own history.
+// The right place to serve that is the provider gateway, which can see the item, rather than a
+// client-side gateway that would have to rewrite a thread file to reach the same state.
+//
+// Not every turn of a long session is compacted, and that is deliberate. Compacting on every turn
+// would change the prefix every turn, so no turn would ever hit the cache, and the conversation
+// would be summarized over and over. Compacting once, when a long pause says the cache is gone,
+// keeps the summary stable for the turns that follow and spends one extra model call.
