[FEATURE] prompt the user after compactification, do NOT automatically execute based on summary
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The auto-compactification in claude code automatically executes the summary that was generated. Unfortunately, the summary many times doesn't have sufficient detail and nuance, so claude will start automatically modifying code based on in-flight half-baked plans, causing tons of damage that I have to later clean up.
Proposed Solution
The request is to enhance the summary from compactification so that instruct Claude to tell the user what it's about to do (based on this summary), and to prompt the user whether or not to proceed (and then Claude HAS to listen to that instruction.. it CANNOT pass Go without the user approval)
Alternative Solutions
I have to automatically hit Esc, but that means I have to be at the terminal waiting for compactification to complete to catch when Claude comes back.

CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
- I'm in the middle of a very intense session with Claude working through intricate design issues where a number of agents, mcp tools and database schemas may need to be refactored
- I have worked out 7 out of 10 of the issues, but they are half-baked, need further discussion
- I don't noticed that I have 0% left to compactification
- Compactification
- Instead of assuming it should just implement whatever we have been currently discussing, Claude Code comes back and informs me what it's about to do and asks me whether or not it should continue/proceed.
