"""Provider-agnostic conversation compaction.

When an agent's session grows past the model's usable context window, older
turns are summarised into a single checkpoint while the most recent turns are
kept verbatim. This runs for every LiteLLM provider (not just OpenAI), keeps a
security-focused structured summary, and preserves tool-call/tool-result
pairing so the trimmed history is still valid provider input.

You are compacting the earlier part of an autonomous security-testing agent's \

do not describe this compaction process.

Return Markdown with exactly these sections:

## Objective
The overall goal and target scope.

## Important Details
Discovered vulnerabilities and attack vectors, scan/tool findings, \
credentials and auth material, system architecture and weak points, and any \
exact identifiers worth keeping (URLs, paths, params, payloads, versions).

## Work State
- Completed: what has been verified or finished.
- Active: what is in progress right now.
- Blocked: anything stuck and why.

## Failed Attempts & Dead Ends
Approaches already tried that did not work, so they are not repeated.

## Next Move
The concrete next step(s) the agent intended to take.
