fix: respect autoCondenseContext setting in sliding window truncation

- Fixed bug where context condensing was triggered even when autoCondenseContext was disabled
- Modified truncateConversationIfNeeded to only use sliding window truncation when auto-condense is disabled
- Updated handleContextWindowExceededError to respect user preference for auto-condense
- Added comprehensive test coverage for the fix

Fixes #7953
