Teknium 1d1b670cb5 fix(compression): reset blocked-overflow dedup on every compression path + noise-filter survival pins
Follow-up fixes for the #62625 salvage:

- Dedup-reset gap (sweeper review): when the block clears while the
  context is STILL over threshold, execution enters the compression
  branch — the PR's 'else' reset never ran, so the warning stayed
  suppressed forever after the first block. _clear_context_overflow_warn()
  now fires on every automatic compression path: turn-context preflight,
  conversation_loop pre-API gate, and the post-tool loop-compaction gate.
- should_compress_info on current main: main refactored should_compress
  into _automatic_compression_blocked()/_locally(); the tuple variant now
  derives its reason from the same in-memory state via
  _compression_block_reason(), keeping cooldown:<s>/ineffective shapes.
- ContextEngine.should_compress_info ABC default now actually returns
  (should_compress(tokens), None) — the PR's default had a docstring but
  no return (returned None, would crash tuple-unpacking call sites).
- Below-threshold guard: the turn-context persisted-cooldown branch and
  the conversation_loop pre-API cooldown branch no longer warn when the
  estimate is under threshold (should_compress_info returns a None
  reason; the preflight pre-check is not a threshold guarantee). The
  pre-API guard also honors compression.max_attempts instead of a
  hardcoded 3, and no longer fabricates a cooldown reason.
- Noise-filter survival (#69550 composition): warning text is now a
  template constant (CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_BLOCKED_WARNING_TEMPLATE) marked
  FAILURE-CLASS, pinned un-swallowed in VISIBLE_COMPRESSION_MESSAGES and
  in new tests that execute the real _TELEGRAM_NOISY_STATUS_RE +
  _prepare_gateway_status_message.
- Contributor mapping for stanislav@local -> sl4m3.

"""Tests for the silent-context-overflow warning (the fix for the bug where a
session crosses the compression threshold but compression is blocked — by the
summary-LLM cooldown (#11529) or anti-thrashing (#40803) — and the model then
silently stops answering because nothing tells the user why.
The fix surfaces a deduped ``_emit_warning`` from ``build_turn_context`` and
exposes ``ContextCompressor.should_compress_info`` (a ``(bool, reason)`` tuple)
so callers can tell *why* compression was skipped while still over threshold.
