Adds a PreCompact prompt hook that checks if the current session contains a solved problem or debugging insight worth documenting. If so, it triggers /ce:compound to capture the knowledge before context compaction loses it. The hook uses the "prompt" type so the AI evaluates whether compounding is warranted - it skips silently if nothing significant was solved. Fixes EveryInc#95 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

How it works
When Claude Code is about to compact context, the hook injects a prompt asking the AI to:
/ce:compoundto capture it indocs/solutions/This ensures knowledge gets captured at the optimal moment - when full context is still available, before compaction loses the details.
Test plan
