Teknium d1efa0d78d fix(compression): provider-proven overflow gets one real compaction attempt while the failure cooldown is armed
After one failed/stalled summary attempt arms the 60/300/900s compression-
failure cooldown, a provider context_length_exceeded rejection entered the
reactive overflow branch in conversation_loop, which called _compress_context
without force. Since #97488 the cooldown gate returns the soft "temporarily
paused, retry in a moment" deferral instead of exhaustion, so every turn
deferred until the cooldown lapsed, and the next failure extended the ladder:
long-running sessions wedged with no automatic recovery (#100661, four sessions
lost).

Thread a narrow `bypass_cooldown` kwarg from the three provider-proven overflow
call sites (generic overflow, 413, output-cap recovery) through
AIAgent._compress_context -> compress_context -> ContextCompressor.compress ->
_generate_summary. It skips ONLY the summary-failure cooldown check at each gate.
Unlike force=True it does not clear the cooldown, does not skip the feasibility /
anti-thrash breakers, and a failed attempt records its cooldown normally. The
attempt is bounded by the existing compression_attempts/max_compression_attempts
budget, so there is no retry loop. The preflight threshold gate is unchanged:
ordinary over-threshold pressure still honors the cooldown (#11529).

Engines whose _automatic_compression_blocked()/compress() predate the kwarg
(plugins, test doubles) are called with the legacy signature.

Tests: cooldown armed + bypass_cooldown -> summarizer invoked and transcript
compacted; ordinary pass still deferred. Docs note the cooldown/overflow
contract in the developer guide.

Fixes #100661
Closes #97766 (overflow-force idea; the bundled continuation changes were not taken)

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
