fix: clean up stale test references to removed attributes

Remove tests for deleted should_compress_preflight/get_status/last_total_tokens
from test_context_compressor.py. Remove stale _reasoning_deltas_fired references
from test_reasoning_command.py (attribute removed, tests were passing vacuously).

-"""Abstract base class for pluggable context engines.
-
-A context engine controls how conversation context is managed when
-approaching the model's token limit. The built-in ContextCompressor
-is the default implementation. Third-party engines (e.g. LCM) can
-replace it via the plugin system or by being placed in the
-``plugins/context_engine/<name>/`` directory.
-
-Selection is config-driven: ``context.engine`` in config.yaml.
-Default is ``"compressor"`` (the built-in). Only one engine is active.
-
-The engine is responsible for:
-  - Deciding when compaction should fire
-  - Performing compaction (summarization, DAG construction, etc.)
-  - Optionally exposing tools the agent can call (e.g. lcm_grep)
-  - Tracking token usage from API responses
-
-Lifecycle:
-  1. Engine is instantiated and registered (plugin register() or default)
-  2. on_session_start() called when a conversation begins
-  3. update_from_response() called after each API response with usage data
-  4. should_compress() checked after each turn
-  5. compress() called when should_compress() returns True
-  6. on_session_end() called at real session boundaries (CLI exit, /reset,
-     gateway session expiry) — NOT per-turn

-Session-scoped context variables for the Hermes gateway.
-
-Replaces the previous ``os.environ``-based session state
-(``HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM``, ``HERMES_SESSION_CHAT_ID``, etc.) with
-Python's ``contextvars.ContextVar``.
-
-**Why this matters**
-
-The gateway processes messages concurrently via ``asyncio``.  When two
-messages arrive at the same time the old code did:
-
-    os.environ["HERMES_SESSION_THREAD_ID"] = str(context.source.thread_id)
-
-Because ``os.environ`` is *process-global*, Message A's value was
-silently overwritten by Message B before Message A's agent finished
-running.  Background-task notifications and tool calls therefore routed
-to the wrong thread.
-
-``contextvars.ContextVar`` values are *task-local*: each ``asyncio``
-task (and any ``run_in_executor`` thread it spawns) gets its own copy,
-so concurrent messages never interfere.
-
-**Backward compatibility**
-
-The public helper ``get_session_env(name, default="")`` mirrors the old
-``os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_*", ...)`` calls.  Existing tool code only
-needs to replace the import + call site:
-
-    # before
-    import os
-    platform = os.getenv("HERMES_SESSION_PLATFORM", "")
-
-    # after

-Scans ``plugins/context_engine/<name>/`` directories for context engine
-plugins.  Each subdirectory must contain ``__init__.py`` with a class

-Context engines are separate from the general plugin system — they live
