fix: cancel compaction instead of truncating history when summarization fails (#10711)

* fix: cancel compaction instead of truncating history when summarization fails

When the compaction safeguard cannot generate a summary (no model, no API
key, or LLM error), it previously returned a "Summary unavailable" fallback
string and still truncated history. This caused irreversible data loss -
older messages were discarded even though no meaningful summary was produced.

Now returns `{ cancel: true }` in all three failure paths so the framework
aborts compaction entirely and preserves the full conversation history.

Fixes #10332

* fix: use deterministic timestamps in compaction safeguard tests

Replace Date.now() with fixed timestamp (0) in test data to prevent
nondeterministic behavior in snapshot-based or order-dependent tests.
