Description

I've seen `--max-turns` but really that's not what I want, I want to be able to control the autoCompact so that I can set how many messages are loaded into the history before compacting. I don't need it to reach 95% of the context before compacting.

Today I noticed the response from one of my sessions: `num_turns=231`

```
[CLAUDE RAW MESSAGE] ResultMessage(
subtype='success',
duration_ms=213207,
duration_api_ms=162411,
is_error=False,
num_turns=231,
total_cost_usd=0.6639560999999999,
usage={
input_tokens: 156,
cache_creation_input_tokens: 55539,
cache_read_input_tokens: 679910,
output_tokens: 2136,
server_tool_use: {
web_search_requests: 0
},
service_tier: 'standard'
},
result='No response requested.'
)
```

I was surprised and that is far more than I had expected.
Unfortunately, I have no insight into what point autocompacts happened. It would be great to be able to control this to reduce the resources used and speed up responses.
