* Inspired by Claude Code: /compress here [N] — boundary-aware 'summarize up to here'
Adds a user-chosen compression boundary to the existing /compress command.
/compress here [N] summarizes everything except the most recent N exchanges
(default 2), which are preserved verbatim — letting the user pick the
compression boundary instead of relying on the automatic token-budget heuristic.
Inspired by Claude Code's Rewind 'Summarize up to here' action (v2.1.139,
Week 20, May 2026): https://code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new/2026-w20
- hermes_cli/partial_compress.py: pure split/parse helpers + seam-alternation
guard (shared by CLI and gateway).
- cli.py / gateway/run.py: route 'here [N]' / '--keep N' to partial compression;
compress only the head, re-append the verbatim tail through the seam guard.
- Preserves message-flow role alternation (seam guard merges any illegal
user->user / assistant->assistant adjacency).
- Reuses the existing _compress_context session-rotation/lock machinery — no
changes to the compression core.
- Bare /compress (full) and /compress <focus> behavior unchanged.
Tests: 12 helper unit tests + 5 CLI integration tests + E2E (interleaved
tool-call transcript, degenerate/multimodal seams, real handler path).
* fix: keep CLI context display in sync with preflight token estimate
The status bar reads compressor.last_prompt_tokens, which only updates
from a successful API response. When loaded history is oversized but
compression no-ops (e.g. the auxiliary summary model times out), no fresh
usage arrives and the bar stays frozen at the old, smaller value while the
preflight estimate reports a much larger number — looking permanently out
of sync (reported: 74.4K display vs ~144,669 preflight).
Seed last_prompt_tokens with the fresh preflight estimate (upward-only, so
a real usage figure is never clobbered and a successful compression's
downward correction still wins). Display-only; no behavioral change to
compression, caching, or the agent loop.
