[Bug] Unable to compact #29

Description

Describe the Bug

After kicking off a lengthy implementation plan using Claude and the orchestrate skill, eventually the orchestrator runs out of context and stops. It gives the option to /compact or /clear. Trying a compact produces:

❯ /compact
⎿ Error: Error during compaction: Error: Conversation too long. Press esc twice to go up a few messages and try again.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run mclaude
  2. Load the orchestration skill with /orchestration
  3. Tell the agent to load the implementation plan and start working on it.

Expected Behavior

If context is fully used up, compacting should work.
