Teknium e83816a4d1 review-fix(comments): restore lost #NNNN rationale comments across non-test source (mechanical sweep, condensed, code unchanged)
For each issue anchor present in BASE 63279301bc non-test .py and absent on HEAD, the BASE comment/docstring block was re-attached at the HEAD location of the code it explained (matched by the distinctive code line / enclosing def). Sentences already covered by an existing HEAD comment were deduped; the issue number always survives. Insert-only: no code lines changed.

"""Abstract base class for pluggable context engines.
A context engine decides when/how conversation context is compacted near the token
limit, tracks usage, and may expose tools. ContextCompressor is the default;
``context.engine`` selects a plugin (``plugins/context_engine/<name>/``); one is active.
Lifecycle: on_session_start() -> per API response update_from_response() -> per turn
should_compress() / compress() -> on_session_end() at real session boundaries only
(CLI exit, /reset, gateway expiry), never per-turn.
