Running the /compact command is currently resulting in a few things that I assume are bugs:

  • There's a several-seconds long delay before the context summary spontaneously appears in full w/ no response streaming.
  • The working... text at the bottom of the TUI doesn't appear until AFTER the context summary response is spontaneously generated, and doesn't go away.
  • I suppose I'm not 100% sure how context compacting is supposed to work, but it doesn't seem like the tokens/percentage in the bottom right go down at all after running the command, so I'm not convinced that any context is actually being freed up.
  • This one is maybe just preference, but the full session conversation remains visible after compacting, with the context summary as just the latest message. I'd prefer the conversation be cleared after compacting, showing only the new context summary at the top of the conversation.
