Owner ruling (release polish round, 2026-10-06): the compaction
summary dialog is gone. The content is model-facing plumbing — anyone
who wants to inspect it reads their provider logs. Both dividers
survive as INERT markers: the moment divider's 'Context compacted'
note and the cut divider's 'HISTORY COMPACTED · 152k tok' seam chip
render as plain text; no button, no dialog, no state. The marker parts
and the server fold are untouched — this is a pure render-side
removal.
Pins: dividers render without <button> or cursor affordances, and the
marker's summary text never reaches the DOM. 1427 tests, tsc, lint,
build green.
- settings: compaction.thresholdTokens row on the Agent tab (owner pick)
in a Context group — CommitInput mirroring the graph budget row, hint
resolved through the SAME core resolver the trigger reads; PUT rejects
below the 32k floor with the anti-churn rationale; own section
(compaction) in SETTINGS_SECTIONS + the settings-signal union
- view fold: one marker → two dividers — the minimal MOMENT divider at
the marker (retrying-message register, no rule lines) and the longer
CUT divider emitted immediately before the first kept message
(phase-divider geometry, chip carries '· Nk tok'); both carry the full
summary payload; full history stays visible to the user
- components/compaction-divider.tsx: the dividers + summary dialog
(pure exported body for SSR pins, the delete-dialog pattern; Esc +
Close dismiss, backdrop does not)
- chat.tsx: compaction-changed SSE flips the running state — composer
canSend, onSend/doSend/doSteerOrSend, and both docks' submit + hint
('compacting session…') gate on it (the server's registry mutex is the
structural gate; this is the affordance); dialog mounts beside the
abort dialog
- pins: settings-body (4), view fold (2), divider SSR (4)
