Claudia[bot]andClaude Opus 5.5 cf999c1296 fix(auto-compact): send a multi-line focus prompt as one line
Auto-compact writes `/compact <prompt>\r` through writeViaMux when the token
count crosses the threshold, unattended. AutoCompactSchema.prompt accepts line
breaks, so a prompt set through the API can hold several lines. The mux used to
strip them and run the lines together; it now pastes multi-line text as one
block, and the check that re-presses a stranded Enter cannot recognise that
paste in the composer. That is the case respawn's update and kickstart prompts
were already joined for.

The join moves out of respawn-controller into a shared toSingleLine()
(src/utils/single-line.ts), used by both respawn steps and by auto-compact.
Behaviour for respawn is unchanged. The respawn test file becomes
test/unattended-single-line-prompt.test.ts and gains an auto-compact block that
feeds a real Session a token count over its threshold and reads what reaches
writeViaMux.

patch

A multi-line prompt sent through the mux (POST /api/sessions/:id/input with useMux) now keeps its line breaks. sendInput used to strip every \n before the text reached tmux, so "line one\nline two\r" arrived as line oneline two. The lines now go in as one bracketed paste, the same paste a single-line prompt already uses, and the Enter after it submits them together; multi-line text without an Enter is pasted too instead of typed. A shell runs each line. The submit check that re-presses a stranded Enter does not yet recognise a multi-line paste in the composer, so the unattended senders stay single-line: cron still rejects multi-line prompts, respawn's update and kickstart prompts and the auto-compact focus prompt now have their lines joined with a space (they used to run together), and codeman agent send and the TUI keep refusing or joining multi-line input.
