Issue for this PR

Resolves the cost issue where resuming a stale long-running session re-sends the full prefix every turn.

What does this PR do?

Adds automatic session compaction when a session is resumed after being idle for more than compaction.idle_minutes (default 720, 12 hours) and has at least 20 messages. Resuming a stale long session otherwise re-sends the entire conversation prefix on every turn once the provider cache TTL expires, which repeatedly pays write pricing for the same content.

The change hooks into the existing runLoop entry point: on the first step of a resumed session, it checks the last-finished timestamp and message count, and triggers the already-available compaction path if the session qualifies. No new compaction logic was introduced — it reuses the existing compact helper, so the behavior is consistent with manual compaction.

The feature is disabled by default (default idle_minutes = 720) and can be turned off entirely by setting idle_minutes: 0, matching the existing compaction config semantics.

How did you verify your code works?

• Added unit tests in test/session/compaction.test.ts covering the idle threshold, the minimum message count, and the disabled case.
• Ran bun typecheck and the session test suite locally — all passed.
• Manually verified that a session idle longer than the threshold and with >= 20 messages gets compacted on resume, and that sessions under the threshold are left untouched.

Pull request overview

Adds an “idle resume” auto-compaction trigger to reduce repeated provider cache-write costs when long sessions are resumed after extended inactivity, controlled by a new compaction.idle_minutes config knob (default 720 minutes) and a minimum-history threshold.

Changes:

• Trigger SessionCompaction.create(...) on session start (step === 1) when the last finished assistant turn is sufficiently old and the session has at least 20 messages.
• Introduce exported constants for the idle-compaction defaults (DEFAULT_IDLE_COMPACT_MINUTES, IDLE_COMPACT_MIN_MESSAGES).
• Extend the v1 config schema with compaction.idle_minutes (0 disables).
