## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
Automatic compaction fires mid-conversation, right after the loop has warmed the provider's KV cache with the last routed request (`system` + `tools` + `messagePrefix` + derived history). The default summarizer then issued a *separate* auxiliary request whose prefix shared nothing with that warm request: a bespoke summarizer `system` prompt followed by the older history flattened to a single rendered transcript string. A provider caches on the request's leading token sequence, so a first token that differs — a different system prompt — invalidates the entire cached prefix. Every compaction therefore paid full prompt-processing cost for the whole replayed history twice: once for the conversation request that tripped pressure, and again for the summarization call, defeating the cache exactly when the conversation is largest.

### `SummarizationInput` carries the replayed prefix, not a rendered string

|
||||
`summarize()` (and the internal `summarizeWithLlm`) take a `SummarizationInput` — `{ system?, tools?, messages }` — instead of a flat transcript string. `region.ts` builds it from `session.requestHeader()` (the durable `system`, `tools`, and `messagePrefix`) plus the shadowed region mapped through `session.deriveEventMessage`, which yields byte-identical `Message` objects to what `deriveMessages()` folded into the routed request. `summarizeWithLlm` forwards `system` and `tools` onto `GenerateOptions` and sends `[...input.messages, { role: 'user', content: COMPACTION_INSTRUCTION }]`. `tools` ride along even though the summarizer never calls one: dropping them would shorten the token sequence and break alignment with the cached request.

## Alternatives considered

- **Keep the summarizer system prompt but reuse the rest** — rejected: the system slot is the very first token region a provider caches on, so a distinct summarizer system prompt invalidates the whole prefix regardless of what follows. Only moving the directive off the front recovers the cache.
|
||||
- **Send only the shadowed region without the `system`/`tools`/`messagePrefix` head** — rejected: a shorter or differently-headed sequence still diverges from the cached request at the first token, so it caches no better while losing the framing the summary needs.

- **A dedicated `assistant/chunk`-emitting summarization sub-session for snapshot replay** — out of scope here; the replay gap predates this change and is tracked in the [compaction-seam note](../feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md).

## Problem

自动压缩(compaction)在对话中途触发,恰好在循环用最后一个已路由请求(`system` + `tools` + `messagePrefix` + 派生历史)预热了提供方的 KV 缓存之后。随后默认摘要器发出一个*独立的*辅助请求,其前缀与那个已预热请求没有任何共享部分:一个专门的摘要器 `system` 提示词,后接被拍平成单个渲染后 transcript(文本记录)字符串的较早历史。提供方基于请求起始的 token 序列做缓存,因此第一个 token 只要不同(即一个不同的系统提示词),整个已缓存前缀就会失效。于是每次压缩都要为整段回放的历史付出两次完整的提示词处理成本:一次用于触发压力的对话请求,另一次用于摘要调用,恰好在对话最大时让缓存失去作用。
