feat: rule-based tool input compaction for auto-capture
Add compactToolInput() to reduce Write/Edit/Bash/TaskCreate/TaskUpdate tool inputs to structural summaries (file path + line count + preview) instead of full file contents. This reduces session storage ~5x-10x, improves vector signal-to-noise ratio for VikingDB embeddings, and makes VLM memory extraction more likely to succeed. Changes: - auto-capture.mjs: add compactToolInput() with per-tool-type policies (full preservation for Read/Glob/Grep/LSP/WebFetch/WebSearch/Skill; summary mode for Write/Edit/Bash/TaskCreate/TaskUpdate) - auto-capture.mjs: harvestContent() now uses compactToolInput when toolInputCompaction is enabled (default) - config.mjs: add toolInputCompaction (default true) and toolInputMaxChars (default 2000) config options - __tests__/auto-capture-compaction.test.mjs: 21 regression tests covering all tool types, truncation, edge cases, and compression ratio Backward compatible: OPENVIKING_TOOL_INPUT_COMPACTION=false restores the old verbatim behavior.
