+# REQ: Tool-Result Recap Injection
+
+## Problem
+
+Compression summaries were injected into the message stream as either:
+- `role: "user"` (Bug 36 merge path) → model treated recaps as user instructions → goal drift (#78)
+- `role: "assistant"` (Bug 37 standalone path) → model treated recaps as own prior output → verbatim echo (#20)
+
+Both roles mislead the model because recaps are system metadata, not conversational turns.
+
+## Solution
+
+Inject compression summaries as **synthetic tool-call + tool-result pairs** using a dedicated `acp_context_recap` tool. At the API level, the model sees `role: "tool"` output — semantically neutral data that is neither user instruction nor own voice.
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Must not break prefix caching (no system prompt changes per turn)
+- Must work across providers (OpenAI `role: "tool"`, Anthropic `tool_result` content type)
+- Must not require opencode changes (use existing Message/Part types)
+- GC system is being deprecated — do not reference it
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [x] All compression summaries injected as `acp_context_recap` tool results
+- [x] No `role: "user"` merge path
+- [x] No `role: "assistant"` standalone text path
+- [x] 599 tests pass
+- [x] typecheck + build pass
+- [x] System prompt updated with static `acp_context_recap` description

+# WORKLOG: Tool-Result Recap Injection
+
+## Changes
+
+### `lib/messages/utils.ts`
+- Added `ACP_RECAP_TOOL_NAME = "acp_context_recap"` constant
+- Added `createSyntheticToolRecap()` — creates AssistantMessage with a completed ToolPart containing the compression summary as `state.output`
+
+### `lib/messages/prune.ts`
+- Replaced dual-path injection (merge-into-user + standalone-assistant) with single-path tool-result injection
+- Removed: `findNextSurvivingMessage()`, `getLastUserMessage` import, `STANDALONE_SUMMARY_HEADER/FOOTER`, `createSyntheticMessage` import, `prependCompressionSummary` import
+- `filterCompressedRanges()` now unconditionally calls `createSyntheticToolRecap()` for each active block at its anchor position
+
+### `lib/prompts/system.ts`
+- Updated "COMPRESSION SUMMARIES IN CONTEXT" section: references `acp_context_recap` tool instead of `[ACP SYSTEM METADATA]` tags
+- Added explicit anti-echo directive
+
+### Tests updated
+- `tests/prune.test.ts` — 4 tests updated to assert tool-result format
+- `tests/e2e-message-transform.test.ts` — 3 tests updated
+- `tests/message-priority.test.ts` — 2 tests updated to check `tool.state.output` instead of text part
+
+## Verification
+- TypeScript: pass (0 errors)
+- Build: pass (dist/index.js 363KB)
+- Tests: 599/599 pass
