v0.6.8...1baebc9

Release call:

🟢 GREEN LIGHT TO SHIP Patch release with scoped behavior fixes and added tests; no blocking risks identified.

Scope summary:

• 16 files changed (+783/-67); key areas touched: compaction session logic (src/agents/memory/), tool error handling (src/agents/tool.py, src/agents/_run_impl.py), tests and examples, release workflows.

Risk assessment (ordered by impact):

1. Store-aware compaction mode changes default compaction input selection
   • Risk: LOW. Compaction now falls back to input when response history is unavailable or store=False, which can alter compaction output compared to previous server-history-only behavior.
   • Files: src/agents/memory/openai_responses_compaction_session.py, src/agents/memory/session.py, src/agents/run.py, examples/memory/compaction_session_stateless_example.py
2. Invalid tool argument JSON now yields user-facing tool output instead of raising in default path
   • Risk: LOW. Error handling shifts from exception propagation to a structured error message (unless failure_error_function=None), which could change downstream expectations for error flows.
   • Files: src/agents/tool.py, src/agents/_run_impl.py, tests/test_run_step_execution.py, tests/test_tracing_errors.py, tests/test_tracing_errors_streamed.py

Notes:

• BASE_TAG derived from local tags only; TARGET is current HEAD.
• Working tree clean; assumes CI verification already ran for this target.
