Subject: [PATCH] fix: getattr-guard min_tail_user_messages for __new__ test
 doubles
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Bare ContextCompressor.__new__ doubles (test_compress_focus,
cross_session_guard, image_tokens, pre_compress_memory_context) skip
__init__ and lack the attribute — the documented compression-path
test-double pitfall. Guard with getattr default 1 + int type pin
(bool excluded).
