Research direction

The issue provides no file, test, or code entry point. First determine whether CouchDB 3.2 supports disabling auto compaction for one database or globally, then identify the relevant configuration and compaction documentation. Done should include a documented, supported way to preserve database history, or a clear explanation that the requested behavior is not supported.
