feat(compact): compaction capability seam — abstract CompactService interface

Adds the @deepseek-ai/dsh-compact interface package: the abstract
CompactService (ctx.compact) with compactIfNeeded / compactRegion, the
compact/* session-event types via SessionEventMap declaration merging, and the
capability-seam RFC. Wires the package into the three root tsconfigs and the
cordis catalog. A backend implementation lands separately.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-compact
The **compaction seam**: an abstract `CompactService` (`ctx.compact`) defining WHAT compaction does — decide when history is too large and summarize an older range into a single surface node — without saying HOW.
This package is the interface tier of the compaction capability, split so each concern evolves (and swaps) independently:
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact` (this) | the interface: abstract service + `compact/*` events + `CompactionResult` |
| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` | a backend: char/4 estimation + token-budget retention + `llm.stream()` summarization |
| `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-compact` (deferred) | the model-facing `/compact` tool over `ctx.compact` |
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).
## Service API (`ctx.compact`)
Both methods are **abstract** — the backend owns the entire strategy (token estimation, retention policy, event sequencing, summarization).
| Member | Semantics |
|---|---|
| `compactIfNeeded(session, systemPrompt?, model?)` | Estimate the history size; if over the backend's threshold, compact an older range via `compactRegion`, keeping recent context intact. Returns the `CompactionResult`, or `null` if nothing needed compacting. |
| `compactRegion(session, start, end, model)` | Forcibly summarize surface nodes `[start, end]` (inclusive seqs) into a single replacement node. **Throws** if a compaction is already in progress, if `start`/`end` aren't surface nodes, or if `start > end`. |
## Surface contract
`SurfaceEventType` is a closed union — only `user/message`, `assistant/message`, `tool/result`, `context/message`, and `steering/message` may carry `surfaceOp`. A `compact/*` event therefore **cannot** appear on the surface. A successful compaction instead:
1. appends `compact/start` (log-only) — acquires the lock,
2. summarizes the range,
3. appends `compact/summary` (log-only) — provenance: summary, range, shadowed seqs, token count,
4. appends `compact/end` (log-only) — releases the lock,
5. appends a single `user/message` with `surfaceOp: { op: 'replace', start, end }` carrying the summary — **the only surface mutation**.
`deriveMessages()` then renders the summary as a user-role message followed by the retained nodes. The shadowed events remain in the raw log, so replay is deterministic.
## Blocking
Compaction is serialized via a log-recorded lock: `compactRegion` refuses to start if the last `compact/start` has no matching `compact/end` after it. The lock is the log (not an in-memory mutex), so it survives replay and a persistence backend can detect an orphaned `compact/start` on reload. `compact/end` is appended even when summarization throws, so a failure can never wedge the lock.
## Events
The `compact/*` events extend `SessionEventMap` (merge-extensible) via declaration merging — they are session events, not cordis `Events`:
| Event | Payload | On surface? |
|---|---|---|
| `compact/start` | `{ turn }` | no (log-only) |
| `compact/summary` | `{ summary, compactedRange, compactedEventSeqs, tokenCount }` | no (log-only) |
| `compact/end` | `{ turn, error? }` | no (log-only) |
## Implementing a backend
Subclass `CompactService`, implement `compactIfNeeded` and `compactRegion`, and load the subclass as a plugin — it registers as `ctx.compact`. See `@deepseek-ai/dsh-compact-basic` for the reference implementation.
