@app.route("/api/compress", methods=["POST"])
def compress():
    data = request.json
    result = comp.compress(data["context"], data["query"])
    return jsonify({
        "compressed_text": result.compressed_text,
        "original_tokens": result.original_tokens,
        "kept_tokens": result.kept_tokens
    })
