fix(compaction): chain any input filter already set on the run config

The image scrub for text-only models also sets call_model_input_filter; replacing it dropped the scrub.

-strix --update

-# ...or re-run the installer
-curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash

-Installed with pipx, uv, or pip? `strix --update` prints the matching upgrade command instead (`pipx upgrade strix-agent`, `uv tool upgrade strix-agent`, `pip install --upgrade strix-agent`). Strix also shows a notice with the right command when a new version is available.

-### Extra request-body fields
-
-Some provider parameters go in the request body rather than a header, and
-Strix has no dedicated setting for them. Set them with `LLM_EXTRA_BODY` as a
-JSON object — they are merged into the body of every request to the model. For example, to

 For endpoints behind a private CA, point Strix at your certificate bundle with
 the standard `SSL_CERT_FILE=/path/to/ca-bundle.pem` — never disable TLS
 verification against a real endpoint.

If you find yourself wanting to say "Done!" or "Scan complete" without a tool call, call the lifecycle tool instead.
