Description
This PR changes guardian transcript compaction so oversized conversations no longer collapse into a nearly empty placeholder.
Before this change, if the retained user history alone exceeded the message budget, guardian would replace the entire transcript with
<transcript omitted to preserve budget for planned action>!That meant approvals, especially network approvals, could lose the recent tool call and tool result that explained what guardian was actually reviewing. Now we keep a compact but usable transcript instead of dropping it all.
