New cortex/janitor.py runs before each orchestrator dispatch. When a session
exceeds 20 user turns or ~12K estimated tokens, the oldest half is summarized
by the janitor role model and replaced with a compact checkpoint message.
Fail-safe: always returns original history if the model call fails.
Config: JANITOR_TURN_THRESHOLD, JANITOR_TOKEN_THRESHOLD in .env.
Assign Gemma E4B or Haiku 4.5 to the janitor role for effectively-free compaction.
