Add Phase 0 context budget check that warns users when running /compound near context limits, and offers a compact-safe single-pass alternative that avoids launching 5 parallel subagents. Closes EveryInc#198 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
/compoundis token-heavy (~10k tokens across 5 parallel subagents) and that long conversations risk compaction mid-compoundMotivation
Running
/compoundnear context limits causes compaction mid-workflow, resulting in degraded output quality. This gives users visibility into the cost and an escape hatch when context is tight.Closes #198
Test plan
/ce:compoundin a fresh session - verify Phase 0 warning appears and option 1 (full mode) works as before/ce:compoundin a long session - verify warning suggests compact-safe mode/workflows:compoundredirect still works (unchanged)Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 noreply@anthropic.com
