# pi-compaction
High-performance unified context projection and compaction for Pi.
## Responsibilities
- incrementally index completed tool calls;
- replace large tool results with deterministic bounded evidence stubs;
- refine large stubs with non-blocking semantic summaries;
- expose one effective context projection to normal provider requests and Codex native compaction;
- cancel Pi's raw threshold compaction until the effective lower-bound reaches the configured threshold;
- retain original tool evidence through `context_tree_query`;
- publish read-only effective metrics for the footer and context observer.
Context Mode remains responsible for preventing large external data from entering the session. RTK remains responsible for ordinary tool-output cleanup.
## Configuration
Set `piCompaction` in the Pi agent `settings.json`:
```json
{
"piCompaction": {
"enabled": true,
"softRatio": 0.72,
"hardRatio": 0.9,
"targetRatio": 0.55,
"deterministic": {
"enabled": true,
"maxStubTokens": 256
},
"semantic": {
"enabled": true,
"model": "default",
"thinking": "low",
"concurrency": 1,
"minInputChars": 4000,
"maxInputChars": 24000,
"maxRetries": 2
},
"native": {
"enabled": true
}
}
}
```
The extension never writes settings. Invalid or missing fields are normalized in memory.
## Session format
The only custom entry type is `pi-compaction`, version 1. Segment summary entries contain hashes, summaries, and source references; they never duplicate complete raw tool output. Native checkpoints use Pi compaction-entry details with the same kind/version.
This implementation intentionally does not read legacy `context-prune-*` or `openai-codex-native-compaction` entries. Start a new session after switching to this extension.
## Interfaces
- `context_tree_query`: recover original bounded tool evidence by source key or tool call ID.
- `/compaction-status`: show raw/effective tokens, reclaimed tokens, confidence, segments, and pending semantic jobs.
## Performance model
The first session hydration scans the branch once. Appended turns use delta projection and immutable cached snapshots. The `context` hook performs no model call and no session write. Semantic summaries run in a bounded background worker and become visible only at later safe event boundaries.
