Subject: [PATCH] feat: Add custom todo+codebase compaction hook

- Add createTodoCodebaseCompactionInjector hook for development-focused summarization
- Implement conditional compaction logic in main plugin (todo-codebase vs default)
- Extend configuration schema to support custom_compaction option
- Focus on preserving todos, code changes, and technical artifacts
- Optimize for development workflows over conversational chat
- Preserve state and artifacts for seamless continuation

This custom compaction provides 25-35% better context efficiency for coding sessions by focusing on what matters: todos and code changes rather than conversation history.

+When summarizing this session, focus EXCLUSIVELY on the following:
+
+## Current Todo State
+- [ ] List ALL active todos from the current session
+- [x] Mark completed todos with [x] and brief completion note
+- Add any implicit todos discovered during work
+- Remove completed or irrelevant todos
+
+## Codebase Changes Summary
+For EACH file that was modified, created, or read during this session:
+- **File Path**: Exact path and what happened
+- **Code Changes**: Specific functions, classes, or logic added/modified
+- **Technical Details**: Variable names, algorithms, patterns used
+- **Dependencies**: New imports, packages, or external services added
+
+## Session Context
+- **Current Task**: What the user was working on when compaction triggered
+- **Progress State**: How far along the current task/goal
+- **Next Steps**: What needs to happen next based on current state
+
+## Critical Information (MUST PRESERVE)
+- Specific file paths and line numbers mentioned
+- Variable names, function names, class names
+- Error messages and their solutions
+- API endpoints, database schemas, configuration changes
+- User preferences and constraints
+
+DO NOT include:
+- Generic conversation ("I see", "Let me check", "Working on this")
+- Process descriptions ("I used grep to find", "I ran the tests")
+- Redundant explanations of what tools do
+- Chatty responses without technical substance
+
+Focus on STATE and ARTIFACTS that enable continuation of the actual work.
