Subject: [PATCH] docs(compression): correct the stale in_place default in
 comments

2107b86024 flipped compression.in_place to True but left both explanatory
comments reading "Default False during rollout". The contradiction is
load-bearing: it is why two recent PRs (#71747, #48951) were built on the
premise that agent.session_id still rotates at every compaction.

Comment-only; no behavior change.
