fix: add prompt caching to session compaction - Issue #10342

[Luckybalabala]

Problem

Session compaction sent an empty system: [] array, missing the ~90% cost savings from prompt caching.

Solution

Added system prompts to compaction processor:

import{SystemPrompt}from"./system"// Changed from:system: [],// To:system: [...(awaitSystemPrompt.environment()), ...(awaitSystemPrompt.custom())],

Impact

• Cost Savings: Enables ~90% reduction in compaction API costs through cached system prompts
• Consistency: Compaction now uses the same system prompts as regular loops

Technical Details

The SystemPrompt.environment() and SystemPrompt.custom() methods return prompts that support Claude's prompt caching feature:

• Environment prompts (project context, tool definitions, etc.)
• Custom prompts (user-defined instructions)

Testing

• Verified with existing test suite (752/759 tests passing)
• Confirmed system prompts are now included in compaction requests
