Pre-compact snapshot hooks capture full session state before any destructive compaction operation. You inject behavior into the compact lifecycle to safely preserve context and audit data before cleanup occurs.

Post-compact cleanup hooks restore or adjust messages after compaction to preserve user intent. They connect to the compact lifecycle allowing you to modify the session state immediately after the orchestrator finishes.

Orchestrator-level hooks influence decide and execute paths during conversation compaction without bypassing safety checks. They integrate with the compact orchestrator to inject custom routing logic while maintaining system constraints.

Debugging scaffolds observe, log, and simulate compact flows across different scenarios. By attaching reusable hooks to pre-compact, post-compact, and orchestrator phases, you can trace the entire compaction lifecycle.

No external dependencies are required to use compact lifecycle hooks. The system requires only a robust hook interface, safe error handling, and compatibility with existing compact orchestrator, snapshot, and memory components.

Avoid using lifecycle hooks if your chat workflow lacks a compact orchestrator or snapshot components. Hooks require safe error handling and existing memory components to function properly without breaking compaction safety checks.
