+- **Skip ineligible proactive auto-compaction before core `prepareCompaction` failure.** When provider context reaches the auto-compaction threshold (e.g. via large system prompts, tool definitions, or memory projections) but available session entries after the latest boundary remain below Pi's configured `keepRecentTokens` budget (default 20,000), `prepareCompaction()` returns `undefined`, which previously caused Pi's `AgentSession.compact()` to throw `"Nothing to compact (session too small)"` before extension hooks ran. Settled (`agent_end`) and mid-run (`turn_end` in resume and pause modes) auto-compaction now evaluate session eligibility using Pi's `prepareCompaction` and the captured `AgentSession`'s effective compaction settings, suppressing premature trigger notices, inline failure backoff loops, and unhandled compaction errors while cleanly resuming once session history grows past the keep budget.
+- **Observer now records on sessions that have never compacted.** The observer stage's progress anchor (cursor → observation coverage marker → last compaction entry) zeroed its accumulated-token count when all three were absent — every fresh session, fork, or subagent below the compaction threshold measured 0 tokens and stayed `not_due` forever, while the status line (`anyStageDue`) correctly counted the full history and kept reporting the observer as due. The anchor now falls through to the full-history measurement (`rawTokensAfterIndex` already clamps an index of -1 to index 0), so the observer fires once `observeAfterTokens` accumulate even with no compaction entry in the branch. Sessions with any anchor (compacted, marker-bearing, cursor-bearing) behave identically. Regression from the v0.3.8 cursor work (#28/#29); behavior matches what the trigger path already did.

+- Bumped the dev-dependencies group with 9 updates ([#88](https://github.com/k0valik/pi-blackhole/pull/88)). Dependabot now applies a cooldown (2 days default, 7 days for semver-major) so it only opens PRs carrying packages past the 48h `minimumReleaseAge` maturity gate instead of producing lockfiles `pnpm install` rejects.

 ## ✨ What's new
 
-> **Latest release: [0.5.3](CHANGELOG.md)**
+> **Latest release: [0.5.4](CHANGELOG.md)**
 >
 > - **Recall responses are now budget-bounded** — one knob (`recallResponseMaxChars`, default 48k chars ≈ 12k tokens) caps search snippets, expansions, and related observations; clipped content stays reachable via the new `#N:text` drill-down and `page:N` continuation. `/blackhole-recall` itself stays uncapped (human TUI output). ([#83](https://github.com/k0valik/pi-blackhole/issues/83))
 > - **Compaction summaries now speak recall's index space** — `(#N)` refs are session-global, so they resolve to the right operation after compactions and branches instead of pointing at unrelated history. ([#82](https://github.com/k0valik/pi-blackhole/issues/82))
 > - **Memory that curates for a future session** — rebuilt observer/reflector/dropper prompts (survival test, grounding rules, noise exclusions) plus observation timestamps derived from cited evidence instead of model-typed dates.
-> - **Large sessions no longer crash recall** — session files stream in 64 KiB chunks past V8's string limit (adapted from upstream pi-vcc [#26](https://github.com/sting8k/pi-vcc/pull/26)).
-> - **Filenames aren't regex anymore** — natural-language queries mentioning a file (`let me check what observer.ts does`) now match literally instead of returning zero hits.
+> - **Observer fires before the first compaction** — a never-compacted session (fresh start, fork, subagent) no longer stays at zero observations forever; the observer runs as soon as the token threshold is hit. ([#87](https://github.com/k0valik/pi-blackhole/issues/87))
+> - **Auto-compaction no longer errors on "session too small"** — proactive triggers pre-check Pi's own compaction eligibility instead of notice-spamming and throwing.
