John Paul Soliva 526d135a96 fix(compression): keep the /compress here N tail in state.db under in-place compaction
compress_now() hands only the head to _compress_context() and rejoins the
kept exchanges in memory afterwards. With compression.in_place (the
default), the commit's archive_and_compact() archives every active row at
or below the lease watermark, which includes the kept tail's rows, and
inserts only the compacted head. Its tail_count rewind then lands on the
newest rows under the watermark, which are the kept tail itself, so those
rows end up active=0, compacted=0 with no live copy. No surface writes them
back: the CLI re-flushes only after a rotation, the gateway skips in-place
on purpose, and the TUI only swaps its in-memory history. The exchanges the
user asked to keep verbatim are gone on resume, and on the gateway from the
very next message.

compress_now() now passes copies of the tail as verbatim_tail. The in-place
commit stores head + tail in the same archive_and_compact() transaction,
joined with the same seam rejoin_compressed_head_and_tail() builds in
memory, and adds the tail to tail_count. The rewind flags then land on the
kept tail's originals and on compress()'s own carried rows, which were
left compacted=1 and shown twice in the resumed display history. The
copies are stamped as persisted and compress_now() returns the stored list
instead of rejoining the tail a second time. Rotation, no-op and
rolled-back commits are unchanged: the copies stay unstamped and the
caller's tail is rejoined as before.
