Auto Context Compaction Module for PraisonAI Agents.

Provides automatic context management for long conversations:

* Message summarization
* Context window management
* Token counting and limits
* Intelligent message pruning

Zero Performance Impact:

* All imports are lazy loaded via **getattr**
* Compaction only runs when needed
* No overhead when context is within limits

Usage:

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents.compaction import ContextCompactor, CompactionConfig

# Create a compactor
compactor = ContextCompactor(
    max_tokens=8000,
    strategy="summarize"
)

# Compact messages when needed
compacted = compactor.compact(messages)
```

## Import

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import compaction
```
