Restore files outside the patch feature to their merge-base state: the invariant-check refactors across acp, session-controller, client, compaction, agent-loop, agent, session-title, and subprocess, the cast baseline edit, and the rescope-vendor skip list added during the merge. Rename tool-fs.enableApplyPatch to applyPatch, matching the read, write, and edit switches. Remove the unused collectMutationPaths export and the unconsumed PatchHunk.contextLineIndices field, including its SSH schema and fixtures. Report preflight refusals and syntax failures directly instead of padding every phase with outcome, affectedPaths, and cancelled fields. Add apply_patch to the shipped tool catalog test. Fold the default-activation Agent Note into the apply_patch file-editing note and delete it. Delete the guarded-filesystem-mutations upgrade guide: every change is additive and all FileSystem subclasses live in this repository. Trim defensive and reviewer-addressed sentences from the package READMEs, subsystem docs, FileSystem JSDoc, and the Agent Note, keeping the English and Chinese pairs aligned.

compaction/ — compaction capability family
English | 中文
Summary
The compaction/ group keeps long agent conversations working near the model's context limit: older history is condensed into a summary automatically as token pressure builds, on demand with /compact, oversized tool outputs can be trimmed first so there is less to condense, and images an image-capable route can no longer send are replaced with placeholders. The shipped dsh base enables the feature by default — mount the packages explicitly to tune when and how condensation happens. The token measurement that decides when to condense lives in a separate LLM-family service.
