Getting the context full to the point of compaction probably means you're already dealing with a severely degraded model, the more effective approach is to work in chunks that don't come close to filling the context window

Some people use hooks for that. I just avoid CC and use Codex.

There's no PostCompact hook unfortunately. You could try with PreCompact and giving back a message saying it's super duper important to re-read X, and hope that survives the compacting.

What would it even mean to "re-read after a compaction"?
