The prompt Ctx meter kept showing prior occupancy after /new and /clear, and stayed inflated after a successful fold until the next inference.done. Clear the painted meter immediately on session clear, hide it when the session has no turns, and treat the post-compact governor estimate as authoritative until real usage arrives.
Idle compaction with an empty continuation never marked the governor estimate authoritative, so the prompt meter kept pre-fold occupancy until the next user turn. Resume with a meter-only settle so the shrunk estimate paints without starting another inference.
