Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.5.0 (24F74)

### Expected behaviour

When I type /compact with a custom prompt, it should compact the previous conversation and reduce the token usage.

### Actual behaviour

It writes the summary based on the custom prompt out, but the usage remains the same.

### Steps to reproduce

Start a conversation, go for a while, then use /compact

### Environment
