A handoff done in-memory: the previous session's history is summarised and seeds a fresh session. Lossy — detail traded for headroom. Triggered manually by the user, or automatically.

"Context's getting heavy and I still have the test pass to do."
"Compact before you start — write what's load-bearing into the summary prompt so the new session keeps the schema decisions and drops the exploration."
