With relevance compaction on (`compaction.enabled`, off by default), at each compaction: the same latest request and task spine, a redacted outline of the conversation being compacted (user and assistant text clipped, one line per tool call), and for each tool call, extension message, and earlier-summary part a redacted 500-character input and a 1100-character head/tail sample, so Jev can say which to keep word for word. For the conscience coach (recommend mode): your current request (2000 redacted characters), the same task spine (the first request of the thread and up to four redacted earlier requests), up to four recent user/assistant text messages (500 redacted characters each with roles), and sanitized candidate metadata (skill/tool name, role, lead, useWhen, examples when an index entry matches; bare description otherwise; full skill instructions never go to Jev).
