session-compaction-and-restore
Use when reasoning about what survives compaction/context-loss/restart/seat-refresh, designing a high-fidelity restore packet, or distinguishing native runtime resume vs fork vs artifact-backed mental-model rebuild. Covers the 4 failure modes that prevent honest restore (compacted seat drops hot potato; restore packet preserves details but loses product intent; runtime resume mistaken for handover or fork; rebuilt seat starts with stale instructions).

# Session Compaction and Restore
Preserving useful working state across **compaction, context loss,
restart, or seat refresh.** Includes Claude compaction restore, Codex
resume/fork mechanics, transcript-based mental-model rebuilds, and
durable handoff packets.
**Long-lived seats are valuable only if they can survive context
pressure.** If compaction turns a senior seat into a cold-started
agent, users will avoid persistent topologies and fall back to
throwaway agents.
