Problem Statement

More expensive models compact at their token spend/take longer. Can even 'overthink' on what should be saved or discarded.

Proposed Solution

Since Haiku is recommended by Claude itself for compaction, and it runs faster and does a great job, I would like to set Haiku as a default for compaction without switching models.
