/**
 * Strategic Compact Suggester
 *
 * Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)
 *
 * Runs on PreToolUse or periodically to suggest manual compaction at logical intervals
 *
 * Why manual over auto-compact:
 * - Auto-compact happens at arbitrary points, often mid-task
 * - Strategic compacting preserves context through logical phases
 * - Compact after exploration, before execution
 * - Compact after completing a milestone, before starting next

 * @param {number} retentionDays - Files older than this many days are removed.
 * @param {string} currentCounterFile - Absolute path of the active session's
