capsule-compactlisted

# /capsule-compact Run `python3 daemons/capsule-compact.py <head_capsule_id>` from the vault root. The script: 1. Walks `parent_capsule_id` chain backward from the head 2. If chain length >= 5, summarizes the oldest 3 capsules into a single `chain-summary-<head>-<date>.md` capsule 3. Updates pointers: boundary capsule's parent → summary; summary's parent → original chain root's parent 4. Marks each compacted capsule with `compacted_into: <summary_id>` (they stay on disk for archeology) ## When to run - /close Step 0.5 PART E (v0.4.5) emits `[CADDY:context] CHAIN — capsule chain length N` when threshold hit - Manually before a session-heavy week to keep /open Step 2.5 fast - After narrative-reconstruction archeology when the chain has grown unwieldy ## Defaults - Threshold: 5 capsules - Summarize-count: 3 oldest Override via `--threshold N` and `--summarize-count N` flags. ## What it does NOT do - Does not auto-compact at /close. Hints, you decide. - Does not delete compacted capsules. Each gets `compacted_into:` marker. - Does not LLM-summarize. Concatenates structured fields (objective, open_threads still live, held decisions). - Does not walk forks. parent_capsule_id is strictly linear. ## Cross-links - [[concepts/Somatic v0.4.5 Chain Compaction]] — spec - [[concepts/context-capsule]] — base capsule schema
