Shouldn't compaction be exactly that letter to its future self?

Look at the compaction prompt yourself. It's in my opinion way too short. (I'm running on Opus 4.5 most of the time at work)

From what my colleague explained to me and I haven't 100% verified it myself is that the beginning and end of the window is the most important to the compaction summary so a lot of the finer details and debugging that will slow down the next session get dropped.
