Problem Statement

When I run /compact the context bar doesn't update which leads to confusing UX behavior since that's the exact thing I'm looking to update. It only updates on the next time I send a message. Compact is a meaningful context update so the session should be refreshed

could be solved by #5685 but don't necessarily need such a heavy fix

Proposed Solution

something like /compact triggers a hook that reruns the status line script or #5685
