refactor(compact): turn-agnostic retention + dedicated agent/pre-request seam

Reform the compaction blueprint so a runaway turn survives and the design
stops drifting across review rounds:

- Drop in-flight-turn protection ("layer 2"). Retention is a uniform tail→head
  whole-unit walk; the only structural guard is step-alignment. A single turn
  that alone exceeds the window now compacts its own early closed steps instead
  of being retained verbatim (the failure mode that motivated this).
- Move auto-compaction off the agent/request waterfall onto a new awaited
  agent/pre-request loop seam, fired before history derivation. Compaction
  mutates the surface; the loop derives once from the result — no double-derive,
  and a listener structurally cannot act on not-yet-derived messages.
- Tighten compactIfNeeded to required (session, system, model, signal).
- Enforce a single-pass convergence invariant in resolveConfig: reject configs
  where summarizationMaxTokens + retainTokens exceeds the threshold, so a
  compaction can never immediately re-trigger.
- Document the crash vs recoverable failure taxonomy; core session repair stays
  compaction-agnostic (a log-only orphaned compact/start is inert).
- Wire dsh-compact-basic into examples/coding-agent and add a with-key
  compaction e2e (compaction's first real-world exercise + runaway net).
- Rewrite the RFC to encode the blueprint and move it to implemented/.

The runaway-turn snapshot is a named deferred follow-up: dsh-llm-replay cannot
yet serve the interleaved summarization model call.

Unlike the bash seam, this interface depends on `@deepseek-ai/dsh-session` and `@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm` — the contract's verbs are defined over a `Session` and its output is the `ContentBlock` vocabulary, so they cannot be expressed without naming those packages. That deviation from the "interface depends only on cordis" guidance is intentional and recorded in the [compaction capability-seam RFC](../../../docs/rfc/proposed/feature/2026-06-18-compaction-capability-seam.md).

Both methods take an optional `signal: AbortSignal`. A backend that summarizes via `ctx.llm.stream()` **must** forward it into the call's `GenerateOptions.signal`, so an abort or fiber dispose tears down the in-flight summarization instead of leaving an orphaned model call running past the cancellation. The turn that the `compact/*` events belong to is not a parameter — it is recoverable from the log (the currently-open turn), so the backend stamps it without the caller supplying it.
