Michael Neale 099bacbe6a refactor(buzz-agent): express steer and compaction as goose Operations
Steps 4 and 5 of PLANS/BUZZ_OPERATIONS_MIGRATION.md. Behaviour is
unchanged: steer.rs, cancel.rs and the real-MCP integration tests all
pass without modification.

BuzzSteerOperation drains the steer queue; BuzzCompactionOperation wraps
goose's check_if_compaction_needed/compact_messages plus the _PostCompact
re-injection that buzz's old context handoff existed for.

These need a second StateMachine (round_start), not more steps on the
existing one: round_gate also runs when a turn wants to END, and draining
steers or compacting there would change when they happen. Since step()
stops at the first operation that applies, the start machine runs to
exhaustion -- a turn that both steers and compacts needs two passes.

The gate now carries StateEffect rather than Message, because compaction
replaces the conversation instead of appending to it. apply_effects
reports whether state actually changed, which is what stops a
no-op-applied operation from spinning the loop.

Not goose's CompactionOperation: it yields to the client and emits a
user-facing notification. In buzz a yield ends the turn, and the
notification would post 'compacting' into the channel -- so a long
conversation would stop mid-work and narrate its own housekeeping.

Nearly dropped the [PostCompact] prefix on the re-injected state while
moving it. Caught by re-reading the old function before deleting it; the
model uses that prefix to tell re-injected state from a user turn.

74 unit + 21 integration green, handtest --all 18/18.
