teknium1 085ed46b63 evals(compaction): default arm is current+recovery, the production compaction path
Closed-book arms scored the summary with its session_search pointer unused
(43% vs 79% on the same banks) and made external compactors look like wins.
Bare policy names stay available as an explicit opt-in floor.

"""Compaction eval runner.
Pipeline per transcript:
1. Load + cap the transcript.
2. Generate (or load cached) recall questions from the region that will be
summarized away under the CURRENT policy (the most conservative boundary:
anything the current policy summarizes is fair game for every policy).
3. For each policy: compress, then answer each question with ONLY the
compressed context, using a single LLM call per question.
4. Judge answers against gold with an LLM judge (sees gold; answerer
does not).
5. Write per-policy results JSON for report.py.
Run from repo root with the project venv (needs a configured provider).
