Proactive pressure scaled `thresholdRatio` by the routed model's entire
context window, but a request also reserves output tokens the provider
charges to that same window — the LLM service deliberately never clamps
them (`packages/llm/llm/src/index.ts`).
With a 1,000,000-token window and the default 256,000-token request cap the
gate therefore sat at 800,000 while the provider refused any prompt above
792,576. Observed in a real session: three requests died at 792,850 /
797,639 / 793,352 message tokens ("maximum context length is 1048576 ...
you requested 1048850 tokens"), no pressure compaction ever fired, and the
overflow recovery that did run could not condense an ~800k-token history
into the 8192-token summary cap.
Scale both ratios by the message budget left after the reserve, sourced from
the effective request envelope's `maxTokens` and falling back to the
adapter's per-request output default. A reserve that leaves no message
budget reports a target-specific pressure configuration error, matching the
existing per-route warning policy rather than silently disabling proactive
compaction. The headless compaction e2e advertises a coherent capacity/cap
pair so its 8000-token message budget and 4000-token threshold are unchanged.

Give durable user context its producer-owned source kind instead of a generic plugin wrapper. The V3-to-V4 conversion preserves the frozen rename and collision rules, all own JSON metadata, event coordinates, and historical request-only kinds. Native catalog and JSONL admission retain source validation so unknown attribution can survive without its producer while malformed owned sources are refused.
Use an explicit user-only RequestUserInput for auxiliary LLM prompts that do not own durable message identity. Auto Review and compaction remove their request-only source registrations while retaining prompt content and freezing; provider serializers and projections keep the same wire data, assistant replay isolation, image ordering, and tool correlation. Session writes, Agent delivery, and recorded title requests continue to require identified durable messages.
Bind the saved compatibility policy only to user sources and qualify tmux location attribution without weakening fixed system, model, or tool semantics. Rebuild the current inventory and unpublished V4 acknowledgement on the actual tool-role parent, preserving its rationale and all accepted historical records. The catalog format version records tooling metadata; Session remains V4. Developer-role policy and activation belong to their own feature.
The latest-master Messages adapter, serialization, request-input typing, EpochHeader reservation, and attribution checks pass 103 tests across five files. The retained V3 Messages input-history snapshot passes through the source profile; Host/Client typechecks and all 41 documentation gates pass. The generated comparison records four changed roots and 447 unchanged type fingerprints. Latest-master ARIA changes are retained, with producer source labels applied independently; new Messages fixtures retain their producer names as declared source kinds and use the fixed system-message helper; recorded Session generations are unchanged by this regrouping.

Consolidate the existing in-history capability, loop, UI and artifacts into one baseline. Preserve the reviewed tree so each independently verified correction has a subsequent rationale-rich commit.
The session already derives the protected system head as a Message, and both adapters accept leading system history. Passing it through a separate SummarizationInput.system string unnecessarily flattens that value and rebuilds the same wire message in the adapter. Prepend the derived head to messages and remove textContent, the separate field, and GenerateOptions.system plumbing from the summarizer.
Keep range selection, shadowed seq accounting, session head protection, routed tools, image references, target policy, and the model-visible compaction instruction unchanged. Empty-content heads still derive to null and contribute no request message, but their surface node remains protected. Update subclass consumers/tests, EN/ZH package and subsystem prose, and the existing system-prompt surface owning note with refreshed pairing records.
Evidence: pnpm exec vitest run packages/compaction/compaction-basic/tests packages/llm/llm-deepseek/tests/serialize.spec.ts packages/llm/llm-pi-ai/tests/context.spec.ts --coverage --coverage.include='packages/compaction/compaction-basic/src/region.ts' --coverage.include='packages/compaction/compaction-basic/src/summarizer.ts' passed 203 tests in 6 files; both changed sources have 100% statements, branches, functions, and lines. Region-to-default-summarizer cases pin exact prefix and tools for nonempty Unicode/multiline, empty, and absent heads. DeepSeek JSON byte equality and pi-ai context equality pin leading-message vs separate-system equivalence on text and image-capable conversion paths.
pnpm run doc-sync passed all 33 gates including doc-typecheck, documentation build, translation pairing and model-experience checks. git diff --check passed. Own dependencies installed with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile. An initial test iteration used a nonexistent ctx.dispose teardown on the in-memory fixture; corrected to its existing fixture lifecycle and reran successfully. No runtime/model behavior, normalizer marker, main worktree, push, or rebase changes.
