perf(compression): defer feasibility check to first compression attempt (#28957)
`AIAgent.__init__` was eagerly calling
`_check_compression_model_feasibility()` which probes the auxiliary
provider chain and runs `get_model_context_length()` (potentially
network-bound) to decide whether the configured auxiliary model can
fit a full compression-threshold window. That cost ~440ms cold on
every agent construction.

Most `chat -q` invocations finish in 1-5 seconds and never accumulate
enough context to trip the compression threshold, so the feasibility
check is pure overhead. The result is also only consumed when
compression actually fires (the function adjusts the live threshold
downward if the aux model can't fit; absent that mutation, the gate
in `conversation_loop.py:442` would never fire anyway).

Defer to first `compress_context()` call via
`agent._compression_feasibility_checked` sentinel. Runs at most once
per agent lifetime, just before the first compression pass. The
warning storage (`_compression_warning`) and gateway replay
machinery is unchanged — it still emits to status_callback on the
first turn that actually needs compression.

E2E timing (chat -q 'hi', 3 runs each):
                BEFORE   AFTER    delta
  median wall   2.03s    1.86s    -8% (-169ms)
  min wall      1.92s    1.63s    -15% (-293ms)

Real cold-start observation (synthetic 31-turn agent loop): identical
behavior since feasibility check fires once on first compression and
caches. No semantic difference for sessions that DO compress.

UX trade-off: users with broken auxiliary-provider config no longer
see the warning at session start. They see it when compression first
fires — which is exactly when it matters. For users with working
config (the vast majority), the warning never fires anyway, so the
deferral is invisible.

Tests:
- tests/run_agent/test_compression_feasibility.py — 16/16 pass
  (the one test that asserted call-at-init was updated to drive the
  lazy check explicitly via agent._check_compression_model_feasibility())
- Live tmux session: 2-turn conversation + tool call completes clean,
  zero errors in agent.log
