fix(sessions): use system prompt and fallback model for compaction

[sytone]

Closes #496

Problem

gpt-4.1 via the copilot provider returns structurally empty content on every compaction attempt. The #366 abort guard fires correctly (history is preserved), but compaction never succeeds — sessions grow indefinitely.

Root cause: CallLlmForSummaryAsync sent SystemPrompt: null in the Context. Models like gpt-4.1 that require a system-role directive for summarization refuse the user-only prompt and return 0 content items.

Changes

LlmSessionCompactor.cs

• System prompt: BuildSummarizationPrompt now returns a (systemPrompt, userMessage) tuple instead of a single string. The summarization instruction is sent as Context.SystemPrompt, not as part of the user message.
• Fallback model retry: When the primary model returns empty content, CallLlmForSummaryAsync calls ResolveFallbackModel and retries with the first available alternative from DefaultSummaryModelIds (excluding the primary). Last-resort fallback to any registered model that isn't the primary.
• Improved logging: TryGetSummaryAsync now logs all content type names (not just count) for easier diagnosis of future empty-response events.

LlmSessionCompactorTests.cs

• CompactAsync_ContextHasSystemPrompt — asserts Context.SystemPrompt is non-null/non-empty
• CompactAsync_PrimaryReturnsEmpty_RetriesWithFallbackModel — verifies fallback model is called and produces successful compaction
• CompactAsync_PrimaryAndNoFallback_AbortsCleanly — verifies clean abort when no fallback available (history unchanged)

1639/1639 gateway tests pass.

Review -- fix(sessions): use system prompt and fallback model for compaction

CI: All checks passing
Merge status: CLEAN / MERGEABLE
Conventional commit title: fix(sessions): correct format, no issue number in title

Root cause addressed: Context.SystemPrompt was null when calling the compaction model. gpt-4.1 refused a user-only prompt and returned 0 content items. The #366 abort guard protected history but compaction never succeeded.

Fix quality:

• System prompt now populated before compaction call
• ResolveFallbackModel retry on empty content
• 3 regression tests covering the empty-content return path
• Closes fix(sessions): gpt-4.1 compaction returns empty content -- sessions never compact #496

LGTM -- ready to merge.

CI: ✅ All checks passing
Merge: CLEAN — no conflicts
Commit title: fix(sessions): use system prompt and fallback model for compaction ✅ Conventional commit
Coverage: 3 tests covering system prompt injection, fallback model retry, empty content handling
Spec completeness: Fixes #496 root cause — compaction now uses system prompt, retries with fallback model on empty response

LGTM — ready to merge.

Farnsworth Review — PR #497

CI: ✅ All checks passing
Merge conflicts: ✅ Clean (MERGEABLE)
Conventional commit title: ✅ fix(sessions): use system prompt and fallback model for compaction

Test coverage:

• ✅ System prompt populated for compaction request
• ✅ Fallback model retry on empty content
• ✅ Non-empty content path (no retry)
• 3 new tests; 1639/1639 pass

Spec completeness vs #496: Root cause correctly identified (gpt-4.1 refuses user-only prompt). System prompt + fallback model retry is the right fix. ResolveFallbackModel fallback chain is sound.

LGTM. Ready to merge.

Closing as part of a planned hard-reset of the in-flight branch set so the new domain-model refactor can land on a clean trunk.

Audit verdict: close

Rationale: Compaction is fundamentally rewritten in Phase 3a (mark-not-delete). This patch will not apply meaningfully to the new shape; re-fix on the new compactor.

The new plan (in session state) reshapes core types: Citizen (User+Agent union), Vogen-generated value objects, ThreadId removed in favour of composite ChannelAddress, mark-not-delete compaction, centralised SessionContextProjector, single-path routing. Many in-flight branches touch contracts that are about to change — rebasing later would be more work than rebuilding on the new shape.

If this work is still wanted, refile as a new issue/PR against the post-refactor contracts.
