Owner report (OpenRouter logs, 2026-10-05): the post-compaction request arrived with NO system prompt and NO tool definitions — everything before the cut replaced by the compaction message. Root cause: pi-agent-core's Agent seeds a SystemMessage carrying the system prompt AND the tool declarations at state.messages[0] (createInitialSystemMessage — 'messages declare the provider-visible loadout'). The record never persists it (ui-stream's settleWith filters the role), but convertToLlm DOES receive it — and the cut projection sliced from firstKeptMessageId, dropping [0] from the wire: no prompt, no tools. Fix (pi's own law — verified against pi-agent-core + pi's coding-agent): the projection now carries the leading system message through AHEAD of the compaction head, exactly as pi's prepareRequest re-applies context.systemPrompt + context.tools around its compaction projection. The cut slices the RECORD's history; the chrome is never compactable payload. Loop start skips [0] when chrome is present (no duplicate); record-path callers are unchanged. Pinned: chrome-first-through-cut, exactly-once without a cut, record-path head-first.

/**
|
|
* COMPACTION (owner round 14, 2026-10-05) — the pure core: the cut walk,
|
|
* the marker, and the ONE model-facing projection (toLlmMessages) that
|
|
* swaps [summary] + [kept tail] for the dropped span.
|
|
*
|
|
* The laws pinned here:
|
|
* - the cut NEVER separates a tool result from its call;
|
|
* - a pending question call (pose→answer window) always survives — the
|
|
* walk cannot cross the transcript end;
|
|
* - the active marker is the NEWEST one (chained compactions rule last);
|
|
* - the marker renders ONCE (head), never twice;
|
|
* - a corrupt cut degrades honestly (everything renders — never throw).
