Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the report with Sonnet 5 on darwin in iTerm.app, using the supplied feedback and receipt IDs to trace the auto-compact behavior. Done means auto-compact does not loop after one prompt or exhaust the session and weekly limits.
