Subject: [PATCH] fix(brains): re-inject the core prompt after Claude Code
 compaction
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Claude Code fires SessionStart with source=compact after auto and manual
compaction, but the Claude hook map matched only startup, resume and clear, so
a compacted session never re-received core.md — it survived as whatever the
compaction summary happened to keep. SessionStart is the core prompt's only
delivery path, and the Codex map has carried compact all along.

The contract test pins this matcher verbatim, so the constant moves with the
JSON.
