Before each driver call, over compact_at (0.6) of the prompt budget, the
same model is asked for notes over the very request it was about to get,
plus one message, so the server's cache covers all but the notes. The notes,
with code's list of the calls they replace, become a compaction event that
renders in place of its range, keeping word for word what started the work
and the last few turns. Rare, large steps keep the prompt's start unchanged
between them. A later compaction folds in the earlier; one from an earlier
run's view is hidden.
Failed notes are logged and fitting takes over. Fitting now applies
compactions before it measures, records what it cuts (Trim) and logs each
cut as context.trimmed. Wired into both agents' drivers and the benchmark;
nisse-dev's helper loop is a follow-up.

Shared parts, not a shared scheduler (agreed): nisse-review will have its
own small scheduler; a common one waits until two exist to compare.
- nisse_core.loop.driver: the driver run, moved; the agent names its
waiting tools per run (nisse-dev's are WAITING_TOOLS), and execution
goes to any Executor (ToolOutcome moves with it).
- nisse_core.loop.tools: the tool helper and the tools any agent offers
(notes, memory, memory_done, ask_expert); nisse_core.loop.expert.
- nisse_core.knowledge.handlers: Knowledge, the vault and memory as
control tools, the index and prompt text, out of LoopAgent.
- nisse_core.config: file reading, references, people, tuning sections of
the agent's own, LLM numbers, the vault.
- New core tests: a driver run with a non-workspace executor and the
agent's own waiting set; Knowledge alone; the shared config pieces.
Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.2 done; Architecture Part L and the
nisse-core README name the new parts.
