The [session surface](../../implemented/architecture/2026-06-18-session-surface.md) was built as the foundation for exactly this — an ordered projection over the event log with a `surfaceOp: { op: 'replace', start, end }` operation purpose-built to shadow a range of entries and insert a replacement, with `sourceEventSeqs` recording provenance so the decision replays deterministically. What remained was the plugin that *decides what to compact and produces the summary*.
Two forces shape the design. First, compaction policy and reusable token measurement vary independently: measurement belongs to the LLM-family [`ctx.tokenMeter` service](../../implemented/architecture/2026-07-15-replay-token-meter-service.md), while summarization can be a model call, a template, or a remote service. Second, `SurfaceEventType` is closed to five event types (`user/message`, `assistant/message`, `tool/result`, `context/message`, `steering/message`); only those may carry `surfaceOp`. A bespoke `compaction/*` event therefore **cannot** itself appear on the surface — the compiler rejects `surfaceOp` on it and the invariants plugin rejects it at runtime.

## Decision
@@ -114,7 +114,7 @@ Two failure paths, both documented:
- **Automatic seams**: `agent/post-step` (`@mode serial`) handles successful-call pressure and `agent/request-error` (`@mode waterfall`) handles final request failures after the failed step closes. Generic `agent/pre-step` remains a four-argument checkpoint with no compaction-only prompt/prefix payload.
- **`SessionEventMap`** gains `compact/start` / `compact/summary` / `compact/end` by declaration merging (merge-extensible); `SurfaceEventType` is **not** touched. These are session events, not cordis `Events`, so the event-taxonomy gate needs no entry.
- **`dsh-compact`** owns `toolPairingBalancedBefore(session, seq)` and `toolPairingBalancedAfter(session, seq)`, the cached surface-edge checks that `compactRegion` and `compactIfNeeded` use to avoid splitting a tool-call/result pair. The cache validates current membership by seq and answers both edges from one per-cut balance sequence; stale or missing seqs and orphan results reject. `dsh-session` continues to own the surface `replace` operation, ordered event sequences, and rewrite generation.
- **`dsh-invariants`** drops its `surface replace: start must be <= end` assertion: a head-anchored compaction lands a high-seq replacement entry at an older range's *position*, so `start > end` numerically is normal and valid (the range is positional, validated by the surface's `indexOf` checks that remain). The turn-enclosure invariant is reused unchanged.
- **`dsh-session`** accepts `start > end` numerically when the named entries appear in valid surface position order: a head-anchored compaction can place a high-seq replacement entry at an older range's position. The optional session companion reuses turn enclosure unchanged.
- **Wiring**: `examples/repl-agent/cordis.yml` loads zero-config `dsh-token-meter` before `dsh-compact-basic`; the service-wide window and compact defaults make the pair usable without repeated numeric policy.
## Testing

Three properties carry the design:
- **Request-only, header-logged.** `deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix; its one durable record is `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `request/header` snapshot — the channel the reconstructable-requests RFC already owns for the request's non-history half, so no new session event exists. The dev invariant ([dsh-invariants](../../../../packages/support/invariants/src/index.ts)) recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire.
- **Request-only, header-logged.** `deriveMessages()` never returns the prefix; its one durable record is `EpochHeader.messagePrefix` on the instance's anchoring `request/header` snapshot — the channel the reconstructable-requests RFC already owns for the request's non-history half, so no new session event exists. The [`dsh-agent-loop/invariant`](../../../../packages/core/agent-loop/src/invariant.ts) companion recomputes `messagePrefix + boundary derivation` against every loop-built request; an unlogged prefix cannot reach the wire when that contribution is enabled.
- **Frozen per instance.** Reuse is structural, not disciplined: the cached product cannot change mid-session, so the provider's prompt cache holds by construction and the prefix extends the cacheable region at zero marginal cost per step. A process restart or `ctx.agents.resume()` is a new instance: it recomposes, and any drift lands attributably on the `'resume'` header snapshot. This is the routing rule the seam creates: session-frozen openers ride the prefix; content that changes mid-session rides the append-only history channels (`agent.inject()` or tool/prompt-submit `additionalContexts` — [the interception-seams RFC](2026-06-30-interception-seams.md)), each a durable `context/message` paid once and prefix-cached thereafter.
- **Exact in the durable request envelope.** Composition precedes the instance's first `agent/pre-step` and request boundary. The first routed request logs the current prefix on its header, so post-step token pressure reads the exact prefix together with the actual prompt, tools, and routed model; no compaction-only parameter is carried through the generic pre-step seam. A composition interrupted by cancel/dispose is discarded, never cached: an abort-aware listener's degraded fallback cannot leak into later requests, and the next turn recomposes under a live signal.
