Removes the `handoff` feature flag entirely and un-gates context compaction so auto-compaction and the `/compact` command are available to everyone. The `HandoffFeatureFlag` definition is deleted, and every flag check is removed: auto-compaction always runs in the agent turn loop (still governed by the `agent.auto_compact` setting and the model's context window size), the `/compact` slash command is always registered and routed to manual compaction, the token-limit callout always defers to auto-compaction when the window is large enough, and the Auto Compact settings always appear in the settings UI. Merging this is the switch that ships the feature; until then it stays stacked behind the telemetry and retry-fix PRs.
