fix(compression): guard against cross-session stale _previous_summary contamination

When a cron or background session compacts, it sets _previous_summary for
iterative updates. If that session ends without /new or /reset (which calls
on_session_reset()), the stale summary survives on the ContextCompressor
instance. A subsequent live messaging session's compaction then injects it as
'PREVIOUS SUMMARY:' into the summarizer prompt — contaminating the live
session with unrelated content from the prior session.

Add an else guard in compress(): when no handoff summary is found in the
current messages but _previous_summary is non-empty, discard it so
_generate_summary() starts fresh instead of iteratively updating a stale
cross-session summary.

Fixes #38788
