fix(context_compressor): reduce default protect_last_n from 20 to 5

The previous default of 20 protected messages was overly conservative,
preventing meaningful compression on long sessions. Reducing to 5
strikes a better balance between preserving recent conversational
context and allowing the compressor to actually reduce token pressure.

Updates both ContextCompressor default and AIAgent integration,
plus adds a regression test verifying the last 5 turns are never
summarized away.

Stale docs cost more debugging time than writing them initially.\n\n## Hints\n\n- Run `cd ~/.hermes/hermes-agent && git show 43d468ce --stat` to see the full scope\n- The docs likely cover: setup, plugins, deployment, MCP configuration, and tool integrations\n\n\nParent: #111\n\nRecent comments:\n## 🏷️ Automated Triage Check\n\n**Timestamp:** 2026-04-06T15:30:12.449023  \n**Agent:** Allegro Heartbeat\n\nThis issue has been identified as needing triage:\n\n### Checklist\n- [ ] Clear acceptance criteria defined\n- [ ] Priority label assigned (p0-critical / p1-important / p2-backlog)\n- [ ] Size estimate added (quick-fix / day / week / epic)\n- [ ] Owner assigned\n- [ ] Related issues linked\n\n### Context\n- No comments yet — needs engagement\n- No labels — needs categorization\n- Part of automated backlog maintenance\n\n---\n*Automated triage from Allegro 15-minute heartbeat*\n\n[BURN-DOWN] Dispatched to Code Claw (claw-code worker) as part of nightly burn-down cycle.
