RFD D46 adds an interactive mode to
jp conversation compact. Instead of applying a summary blind, the user reviews and revises a proposed compaction by chatting with the model in a forked "compaction conversation", then applies the agreed result to the source with--continue(or discards it with--abort).The review negotiates every field of an RFD 064
Compactionproposal (turn range, summary text, reasoning and tool-call policies), with each revision recorded as a call to a new built-inpropose_compactiontool that JP validates against the source conversation as it is made. Compaction does not need other tools from the jp-tools kit to be active in the conversation; for instance, it does not need to give the LLM permission to read any files.
