Pre-Compaction Workflow

1. State Capture - Save current task context
2. Save State - Write to pre-compact-state.yaml
3. Generate Summary - Create session summary
4. Execute Compaction - /compact --preserve-state

Post-Compaction Recovery

/resume --from-compact

Loads pre-compact-state.yaml and restores context.
