synapsesx f10a330aee fix(research): keep tool_call/tool_response pairs intact when compressing trajectories
## What does this PR do?

The trajectory compressor could corrupt training trajectories by cutting a
conversation in the middle of a tool-call/tool-response pair. In the from/value
trajectory format a `tool` turn (carrying `<tool_response>` markers) is always
emitted immediately after the `gpt` turn whose `<tool_call>` it answers, so the
two turns must stay together. The compressible region's end boundary, however,
was chosen purely by token accumulation: the loop stopped at the first turn where
the accumulated tokens met the savings target, with no regard for turn roles. For
any over-budget trajectory whose savings boundary happened to land between a `gpt`
turn and its `tool` turn, the `gpt` (with its `<tool_call>`) was summarised away
into the replacement `human` message while the now-orphaned `tool` turn (with its
`<tool_response>`) was kept verbatim in the tail — producing an unmatched marker
and silently corrupting the training signal. The head boundary had the mirror
problem when the first tool turn was not protected.

This change snaps both compression boundaries to a clean turn boundary before the
region is extracted and replaced, so the summary always covers whole gpt+tool
blocks and a `tool` turn is never separated from the `gpt` turn that precedes it.
The boundary is moved forward when possible (folding an orphaned tool turn into
the region that already holds its gpt) and falls back to moving backward when no
clean boundary exists ahead, such as when the protected tail itself begins on a
tool turn.

## Type of Change

- [x] 🐛 Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)

## Changes Made

- `trajectory_compressor.py`: added `_is_boundary_clean()` and `_snap_boundary()`
  helpers on `TrajectoryCompressor`, and applied them to both the head and tail
  compression boundaries in `compress_trajectory()` and
  `compress_trajectory_async()`. When snapping collapses the region to nothing
  safe to compress, the trajectory is returned unchanged and flagged as still
  over the limit rather than being corrupted.
- `tests/test_trajectory_compressor.py`: added `TestCompressionToolPairIntegrity`
  covering the sync and async paths plus direct unit tests for the boundary
  snapping (forward skip and backward fallback).

## How to Test

1. Run the focused tests: `pytest tests/test_trajectory_compressor.py -q`.
2. The new sync/async cases build a trajectory of gpt/tool pairs with an oversized
   middle gpt turn and choose a token target that forces the accumulation
   boundary to stop between a `<tool_call>` and its `<tool_response>`. They assert
   that `<tool_call>` and `<tool_response>` markers stay balanced after
   compression and that every kept `tool` turn is immediately preceded by a `gpt`
   turn (never the inserted summary or another tool turn).
