"""Summarize older dialogue before a model step when context exceeds a limit.
max_tokens measures provider-visible message content, including tool calls
and a bounded estimate for each image. The default o200k_base tokenizer
estimates text; inject count_tokens for provider-specific accounting.
keep_recent_tokens is a minimum: retain the whole user turn containing the
cutoff, including tool calls and results. The current turn is never split.
A single oversized turn therefore cannot be compacted by this extension.
Args:
model: Model used to summarize older dialogue. None reuses the current
request model, which is useful for a shared multi-session Agent.
max_tokens: Estimated context threshold that triggers compaction.
keep_recent_tokens: Minimum recent token budget, extended to whole turns.
count_tokens: Optional provider-specific message token counter.
reasoning_effort: Reasoning level used by the summary model.
Visible state transitions::

| PRIMARY READY |

+-------------------------+
If the threshold is not crossed, no compaction event is emitted and the
request moves directly from primary-ready to the primary model.
Examples:
Usage::
agent = await Agent.create(model, config=config, extensions=[
InMemoryMessageAccumulator(),
ToolGuidelinesExtension(),
CompactionExtension(model, max_tokens=128_000, keep_recent_tokens=32_000),
])
Only the active message list is changed. Pair this extension with
SessionPersistenceExtension when durable raw history and snapshots are needed.
