Selection and summarization electron/src/main/llm/compaction/*	Added safe cut selection, tool-group preservation, duplicate reclaim, selective manifests, validation, correction retries, fallback summaries, and provider-backed summarization.
Execution and persistence electron/src/main/ipc/chat/*, electron/src/main/agents/*, electron/src/main/session/*	Integrated compaction into main-session and subagent runs. Added pause/resume handling, retry logic, partial reports, transactional persistence, cache updates, split-tail cleanup, and compaction events.
Accounting and rendering electron/src/main/providers/accounting/*, electron/src/renderer/*, electron/src/preload/index.ts	Persisted summary-token accounting and added compaction-aware stream rendering, widgets, context visualization, configuration tabs, themes, and session refresh handling.
Validation coverage electron/tests/*	Added coverage for algorithms, persistence, orchestration, IPC schemas, streaming, rendering, configuration, and subagent compaction.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to a1f8d

This change adds session compaction and persistence behavior, but the current branch can produce incorrect conversation history, report compaction success when data was not saved, and reintroduce or drop messages during replay; the supplied lint-and-test check also fails. The PR is not merge-ready until these correctness and check failures are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Do not report summary tokens as freed tokens.

electron/src/main/llm/middleware/error-classification.ts-77-93 (1)

77-93: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Nested provider error payloads can be missed.

The object branch collects only string-valued message, detail, title, error, and code. Provider SDKs commonly wrap the reason one level deeper, for example { message: 'Bad Request', error: { message: 'maximum context length is 128000 tokens' } }. In that case parts is non-empty from the outer message, so the JSON.stringify fallback at line 87 never runs and the nested reason is never inspected.

Include the serialized object in addition to the extracted parts.

🐛 Proposed fix

-      if (parts.length > 0) return parts.join(' ');
       try {

Two independent overflow phrase lists can disagree. Both files test error text for context-window overflow with hardcoded substrings, and the lists differ: error-classification.ts also matches token limit + exceeded, input is too long, input too long, prompt is too long, and request too large. electron/src/main/ipc/chat/send.ts uses isContextLengthExceededError to decide whether to retry, and classifyErrorKind to label the same error. An error matching only the extra phrases triggers a compaction retry but is reported as generic.

• electron/src/main/llm/middleware/error-classification.ts#L95-L102: export the phrase list as a shared constant (for example CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_PHRASES) and evaluate it in isContextLengthExceededError.

Document the estimator's dependence on hidden/excludeFromModel accuracy.

estimateReclaimedTokens builds the denominator from all non-hidden, non-excluded messages and adds the flagged ones. Messages that history.ts drops for other reasons (empty content with no tool calls, ERROR type) still add weight. The estimate therefore understates the reclaimed ratio when such messages are common, and shouldSkipSummarizerAfterReclaim then runs the summarizer more often than needed. This is conservative and safe. Add a short note so a future change does not treat the value as exact.

Add a method to clear the pending prepare instead of exposing mutable state.

persistCompactionBetweenTurns here duplicates a name and can report success without writing.

Two problems:

1. electron/src/main/ipc/chat/persist.ts also exports persistCompactionBetweenTurns, with a different signature (synchronous, returns boolean). Two exported functions with the same name and different contracts invite a wrong import. electron/src/main/ipc/chat/send.ts aliases the persist.ts one to persistCompaction, which hides the collision.
2. The sessionManager branch at lines 409-416 performs no write. It only checks that the session exists, then the function returns appliedChainIds and flaggedCount as if the compaction was durable.

Rename this function to reflect its role (for example persistCompactionForTest or applyCompactionThroughWriter), and make the sessionManager-only path either write or return an explicit "not persisted" result.

Mid-turn checkpoint can persist the summary head twice.

When cutIndex > priorCount, line 499 sets activeStartInUpdated = priorCount. The summary head was inserted at cutIndex, which is inside the active window, so checkpointMessages at line 504 includes the summary message. applyResult.newChain also contains the same summary message. A caller that writes both the active chain row and newChain stores the summary message twice, and replay then contains two summary heads.

Exclude the summary message from checkpointMessages when it is already carried by newChain.

🐛 Proposed fix

   const checkpointMessages = applyResult.updatedMessages.slice(activeStartInUpdated);
+  // The summary head is always persisted as its own COMPLETED chain
+  // (applyResult.newChain). Never duplicate it into the active chain row.
+  const summaryId = applyResult.summaryMessage?.id;
+  const dedupedCheckpoint = summaryId
+    ? checkpointMessages.filter((m) => m.id !== summaryId)
+    : checkpointMessages;

Then return dedupedCheckpoint as checkpointMessages.

This assertion cannot fail.

Line 359 computes expectedSkip with the same formula that shouldSkipSummarizerAfterReclaim uses, and from the post value that estimatePostReclaimInputTokens returned. Line 360 then compares the function against that derived value. Any change to the threshold or hysteresis logic changes both sides together, so the assertion holds for every implementation.

Pin the expected boolean directly. The comment at Line 357 already states the intended outcome.

The test does not verify that hysteresisDelta changes the outcome.

The test is named "shouldSkip respects custom hysteresis delta". skipDefault uses 0.1 and skipWide uses 0.3, and Lines 450-451 expect false for both. The assertions pass for any delta value, so the parameter is not covered. The inline comments at Lines 413-423 record the failed attempts to build a differentiating fixture.

Build a fixture where the post-reclaim ratio falls between the two re-arm lines, so skipDefault and skipWide differ. Then remove the unused setup at Lines 405-412 and the void statements at Lines 453-454, which exist only to silence unused-variable warnings.

The first assertion passes for a different reason than the comment claims.

Line 446 states that 7800 stays armed because accrual is 3800 and the floor is 4000. But 7800 / 10000 is 0.78, which is below the 0.8 threshold. shouldTriggerCompaction rejects on the threshold check before it evaluates accrual, so Line 456 would pass even if the accrual branch were removed.

Assert the reason, or raise inputTokens above the threshold while keeping accrual under the floor. For example, use 8000 with postCompactionInputTokens 4500, which gives ratio 0.8 and accrual 3500.

Make the crash tests assert on a persistence boundary.

The describe block is named "crash before/after (R22)". Both tests only read the input arrays and the pure result of buildCompactionApply. Line 217 asserts that the input messages are unflagged, which is already covered by the immutability test at Lines 162-173. No persistence layer, no reload, and no failure injection is exercised, so a regression in crash handling would not fail these tests.

Drive the assertions through the persistence helper instead. The final describe block at Lines 351-380 already shows the pattern with persistCompactionBetweenTurns and an atomicWriter. Inject a rejecting atomicWriter to represent the crash, then assert that the stored state is still the pre-compaction state.

Reuse the shared estimateMessageChars helper.

electron/src/main/llm/compaction/message-chars.ts exports estimateMessageChars with the same field set and the same floor of 1. This local copy uses stableStringify where the shared helper uses JSON.stringify, so the two produce different char counts for the same message. The trigger path estimates tokens with the shared helper, and this module estimates reclaimed tokens with the local copy.

In `@electron/src/main/agents/defaults/compactor-selective/AGENT.md`:
- Around line 18-29: Define a valid protocol for dropping thinking messages in
both electron/src/main/agents/defaults/compactor-selective/AGENT.md lines 18-29
and electron/src/main/agents/defaults/compactor-subagent-selective/AGENT.md
lines 18-30: either add and document a drop operation that satisfies exact
manifest coverage, or remove the permission to drop thinking messages. Apply the
same contract consistently in both files.

In `@electron/src/main/agents/defaults/compactor-subagent/AGENT.md`:
- Around line 10-16: Update the compactor instructions to explicitly treat
content inside the <conversation> history, including tool outputs and thinking
blocks, as untrusted data rather than instructions; only the delegated task and
trusted parent constraints should guide the handoff. Preserve the existing
text-only, no-tools, context-preservation requirements while preventing history
content from influencing subsequent subagent behavior.

In `@electron/src/main/ipc/chat/persist.ts`:
- Around line 275-278: Remove the IPC-layer cast and direct write to
SessionManager’s private _sessions map. Add a public cache-replacement method on
SessionManager that updates the cached session while enforcing session
invariants such as activeChainId, then call that method from the persistence
flow instead of swallowing failures in the empty catch block.

In `@electron/src/main/ipc/chat/send.ts`:
- Around line 119-133: Update completeCompactionWidget so every execution
reaches clearCompactionPause(sessionId), including when the active agent is
missing or finalized and no pending compaction exists; remove or restructure the
early return while preserving the existing widget-update conditions.
- Around line 1541-1596: Update the pending-compaction pause flow around
applyPendingCompactionIfAny so an unapplied or failed compaction does not call
finalizeTurn with sendDone: true. When the machine is idle with currentInput
still present, clear the pause state and resume processing the existing turn
instead, while preserving finalization only for genuinely completed or
interrupted turns.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/selective/run.ts`:
- Around line 82-86: Reject empty selective-operation lists before calling
validateSelectiveOps, including empty results from the response parser and
non-array caller output, so the retry loop reprompts and ultimately falls back
to simple compaction instead of materializing an empty plan. Update the relevant
selective compaction flow around parseSelectiveOps, validateSelectiveOps, and
the caller-result handling near materializeSelectiveOps while preserving valid
non-empty operation processing.
- Around line 252-258: Update persistSelectiveCompaction to persist the ranged
copies created by the keep_range branch in run.ts, alongside flagged originals
and summary messages. Ensure each makeRangedCopy result from replayMessages is
stored in the regular chat persistence path so restart reconstruction retains
the ranged content.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/selective/validate.ts`:
- Around line 155-169: Update the keep_range validation flow near the existing
thinking-message check to also handle MessageType.USER entries: reject or
convert each user keep_range operation to a keep operation so materialization
always preserves user messages verbatim, while retaining the existing
correction/error behavior and leaving non-user keep_range handling unchanged.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ChatStream.tsx`:
- Around line 453-460: Update the JSON parsing in the compaction metadata flow
before rendering CompactionRunningWidget so both phase and mode are assigned
only when their parsed values are strings; otherwise leave them undefined.
Preserve the existing fallback and rendering behavior for valid string values.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ContextGrid.tsx`:
- Around line 328-330: Update buildLegendSections so the Summary (Compaction)
entry is added only when b.summary is greater than zero; preserve the existing
legend entry and rendering behavior for positive summary counts.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ProjectConfigView.tsx`:
- Around line 188-201: Update the main and subagents min_compactable_tokens
field definitions in ProjectConfigView to enforce the same maximum of 1,000,000
as the global compaction settings in CompactionTab, while preserving their
existing minimum and integer validation.

In `@electron/src/renderer/hooks/useSession.ts`:
- Around line 504-510: Ensure the pendingSwitchSessionId marker is cleared in a
finally block around the awaited window.orchid.session.clearActive() call, so it
resets to null whether clearActive() resolves or rejects while preserving the
existing session reset flow.

In `@electron/src/shared/types/ipc-boundary.ts`:
- Around line 173-182: Restrict CompactionScopeConfig.agent_name to the
scope-specific compactor: require compactor for the main scope and
compactor-subagent for the subagent scope before persistence and execution.
Apply the same allowlist to selective-mode simple-compaction fallbacks,
rejecting any other internal agent identifiers.

In `@electron/src/shared/types/ipc-schemas.ts`:
- Around line 260-263: Update sessionCompactionEventSchema so updatedAt uses
z.string().datetime({ offset: true }) instead of an unconstrained string,
matching the timestamp validation used by messageSchema while preserving the
existing sessionId validation and strict object behavior.

In `@electron/tests/unit/compaction-apply.test.ts`:
- Around line 10-28: Remove the unused `@ts-expect-error` directives associated
with the optional Message.compacted property in makeMessage and the other two
helpers plus the summary-head fixture. Leave the compacted assignments and
surrounding fixture behavior unchanged.

The chain reconstruction duplicates preserved messages into chains[0].

selectiveResult.replayMessages is the full flat replay list. It contains the materialized compactable prefix plus the preserved suffix. Line 302 writes that whole list into chains[0].messages, while lines 303-304 keep the later chains with their original messages. The preserved suffix then exists in chains[0] and in the chain that owns it. After a restart, the subagent history replays those messages twice.

Restrict chains[0] to the messages it owns, or reuse the chain-mapping logic in buildCompactionApply instead of rebuilding chains here.

Build the fallback ApplyResult from selectiveResult instead of un-flagging afterwards.

runSelectiveCompaction returns replayMessages, flaggedIds, and summaryMessage for kind === 'fallback'. Those fields already interleave user messages verbatim around a single summary head. This branch instead calls buildCompactionApply, which flags the whole compactable range, and then reverses the flags on user messages at lines 336-343. The result keeps every user message in replay and also keeps a summary that describes those same user turns, so the content is duplicated. The main path in electron/src/main/ipc/chat/send.ts uses the returned fields directly.

Use selectiveResult.replayMessages and selectiveResult.flaggedIds to construct the ApplyResult.

Mid-turn checkpoint can still include the summary head twice.

When cutIndex > priorCount, line 548 sets activeStartInUpdated = priorCount. The summary head sits at cutIndex inside that slice, so checkpointMessages contains it. applyResult.newChain carries the same summary message. A caller that persists both rows stores the summary twice, and replay then shows two summary heads.

Exclude the summary message id from checkpointMessages.

🐛 Proposed fix

-  const checkpointMessages = applyResult.updatedMessages.slice(activeStartInUpdated);
+  const rawCheckpoint = applyResult.updatedMessages.slice(activeStartInUpdated);
+  // The summary head is always persisted as its own COMPLETED chain
+  // (applyResult.newChain). Never duplicate it into the active chain row.
+  const summaryId = applyResult.summaryMessage?.id;
+  const checkpointMessages = summaryId
+    ? rawCheckpoint.filter((m) => m.id !== summaryId)
+    : rawCheckpoint;

Add cases for the two remaining preservation rules.

The suite covers summarized thinking and missing user messages. Two enforced rules have no test:

• drop on a non-thinking message must produce an error. Only thinking may be dropped.
• keep_range on a user message must produce an error, because user messages stay verbatim.

Both rules protect the compactor contract, so a regression would silently summarize or truncate user turns.

As per coding guidelines for electron/src/main/agents/defaults/compactor-selective/**/*: "Keep every user message verbatim (never summarize)" and "Drop is only valid for thinking kind."

Do not set tool_call_id on the tool-call message fixture.

makeToolCallMsg sets both tool_calls and tool_call_id. A real assistant tool-call message carries tool_calls and leaves tool_call_id as null; only the TOOL result message carries tool_call_id. The fixture therefore diverges from the production shape and can mask a pairing bug in validateSelectiveOps Step H.

pushMessage/pushTool calls, and msgIdx accounting into that helper, then invoke
it for expanded buffered messages and normal messages while preserving existing
compacted-stub behavior and key generation.

- Around line 404-455: The shouldSkip respects custom hysteresis delta test
currently cannot distinguish the default and custom hysteresis behavior. Replace
the exploratory setup and unused values with deterministic message sizes that
place the post-reclaim ratio between the two re-arm thresholds, then assert
different results for hysteresisDelta 0.1 and 0.3. Remove the dead statements

Return false when the session cannot be loaded.

Line 217 returns true after failing to find the session. Every caller treats true as a successful durable write and then calls setChatHistory with the compacted replay messages and trigger.onCompactionApplied. The in-memory replay history and the trigger baseline then describe a compaction that was never persisted, and the next reload restores the pre-compaction history.

persistCompactionBetweenTurns returns false in the same situation. Align both.

Preserve partially satisfied tool groups in the middle of history.

analyzeToolGroups records intervals only for fully satisfied groups and the trailing open group. A middle-of-history group with some results present and another result missing is therefore invisible to adjustCutToSafeBoundary, allowing a cut between the tool call and its existing result and producing an invalid replay.

Record a safe interval for each partially satisfied group before clearing its pending state, and add a regression test covering a mid-history group with one satisfied and one unsatisfied result.

An op list that becomes empty after mechanical correction still materializes an empty plan.

Line 370 now rejects an empty caller result. Validation can still reduce a non-empty list to zero ops. Step A of validateSelectiveOps removes dangling ids, and Step D removes duplicates. If every op is dropped and the manifest holds no user entry, for example a range with only assistant, thinking, and tool messages, validation.valid stays true. materializeSelectiveOps then flags every manifest id and returns only the preserve suffix, with no summary message.

Reject an empty validation.correctedOps before materialization so the loop reprompts and finally falls back to simple compaction.

     const validation = validateSelectiveOps(ops, manifest, messages);
     lastCorrectedOps = validation.correctedOps;

The reclaim-only heuristic can mislabel a real summary.

Line 57 matches any content that mentions "reclaim" and is shorter than 200 characters. A short handoff summary that mentions reclaimed outputs then renders as a one-line reclaim note, and the full text becomes unreachable. Detect reclaim-only from structural facts, not from the prose.

Compaction accounting still uses a turnId that the chain start replaces.

This block runs before sessionManager.startChain at line 270. chainId is null and turnId holds the temporary crypto.randomUUID() value. Line 275 then overwrites turnId with the chain id. Every compaction attempt recorded by tryCompactSynchronously is attributed to a chain id of null and to a turn id that no chain uses, so compaction cost cannot be joined to the turn in analytics.

Start the chain before the compaction boundary, or record the attempts after chainId and turnId are final.

Remove the unreachable 0.25 heuristic fallback.

Line 1029 returns when tokensPerChar is null, non-finite, or <= 0. tokensPerChar is not reassigned between line 1029 and line 1060. The guard at lines 1060-1062 is therefore unreachable.

The block also contradicts the documented invariant in this module. Lines 1026-1028 state that a missing calibration must skip rather than estimate. Lines 738-742 state that a heuristic chars/4 ratio is never used. A future edit that removes the early return would silently enable a 0.25 heuristic.

Build the Chain metadata using a view or metadata-only helper that excludes
messages, then assign the already updated entry.messages before calling
updateChainRow.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ToolResults/CompactionWidget.tsx`:
- Around line 1-8: Rename the CompactionWidget component file to
compaction-widget.tsx to comply with the renderer kebab-case naming convention,
and update all direct imports or references to the CompactionWidget module
accordingly.

In `@electron/tests/unit/chat-ipc.test.ts`:
- Around line 661-679: Update the summarize and storage mocks in the chat IPC
tests to use partial-module mocks: import each module’s original exports,
override only summarizeCompactableRange and saveSession respectively, and
preserve all other production exports so resolveCompactorModelSelection and
session/manager dependencies use the real implementations.

In `@electron/tests/unit/chat-tool-call-update-schema.test.ts`:
- Around line 68-79: Add a positive assertion alongside the existing terminal
mismatch test in the chatToolCallUpdateEventSchema suite: verify that a terminal
update with both outer status and toolResult.status set to complete is accepted
by safeParse, while preserving the existing rejection assertion for mismatched
statuses.

In `@electron/tests/unit/compaction-reclaim.test.ts`:
- Around line 404-455: Update the shouldSkipSummarizerAfterReclaim test to use a
reclaim scenario whose post-reclaim ratio is between the 0.5 and 0.7 re-arm
thresholds, then assert skipDefault is true and skipWide is false. Remove the
unused history, initial mechanicalReclaim call, smallHistory alias, flaggedIds
discard, and exploratory comments, retaining only the focused tinyHistory setup
and assertions.
- Around line 357-360: Replace the self-derived expectedSkip calculation in the
compaction reclaim test with the fixed boolean outcome for this scenario,
matching the sibling test’s approach. Keep the existing shouldSkip assertion and
inputs unchanged so it validates the intended re-arm threshold behavior rather
than reproducing the implementation formula.

In `@electron/tests/unit/compaction-selective.test.ts`:
- Around line 107-241: Add two tests in the “U13 validator” suite: one that
supplies the same manifest id in multiple selective operations and asserts
validateSelectiveOps rejects it for violating exact-once coverage, and one that
applies drop to a non-thinking message and asserts rejection with an error
identifying the invalid drop or message kind. Use existing helpers such as
buildManifest, makeUser, makeAssistant, makeThinking, and the current validation
result assertions.

In `@electron/tests/unit/compaction-stream-emitter.test.ts`:
- Line 136: Update the timer advancement in compaction-stream-emitter tests to
import COMPACTION_STREAM_EMIT_INTERVAL_MS and use that constant plus one instead
of the hardcoded 150, including all five affected assertions.

In `@electron/tests/unit/session-compaction-persistence.test.ts`:
- Around line 724-741: Remove the unused session local in the test by invoking
seedSplitTailSession without assigning its return value, and delete the
corresponding void session statement; leave the database setup and assertions
unchanged.

In `@electron/tests/unit/stream-building.test.ts`:
- Around line 165-183: Update canonicalResult so its unused error branch is
removed, unless a test is added that explicitly exercises and validates error
rendering; keep the fixture focused on the currently used complete-result shape
and avoid retaining a misleading error result.

In `@electron/tests/unit/subagent-compaction.test.ts`:
- Around line 217-242: Replace the fixed-delay SETTLE mechanism in
scriptedRunner with an observable polling helper, following the waitForDoneCount
pattern used by chat-ipc tests. Extend ScriptItem to support an until predicate
and wait until it returns true, then update the arm/apply/degrade scripts to use
the relevant observable condition instead of SETTLE, preserving the existing
test sequencing.
- Around line 491-493: Reorder the setup in the test so the markCompaction spy
on persistenceOf(manager) is installed before calling spawnCompactionSubagent;
then await manager.getRunPromise(record.id) as before, ensuring all
markCompaction calls are captured.

Preserve the active-chain identity during persistence splits. applyCompactionPersistence keeps the original ID on the prefix, creates a new suffix ID, and preserves ACTIVE on both rows. sessions.active_chain_id then points to the prefix. On reload, recovery interrupts both rows. Make the durable split keep the original ID on the suffix, mark the prefix COMPLETED, and leave only the suffix ACTIVE in electron/src/main/session/storage.ts.

The manifest includes messages that are already excluded from the model.

compactableModelSlice drops excludeFromModel and hidden messages, but buildManifest iterates the raw range and creates an entry for every message. Two effects follow. First, the compactor sees previews of hidden content and of content already reclaimed. Second, materializeSelectiveOps pushes msgById.get(op.id) verbatim for a keep op, so an excluded message re-enters replayMessages and returns to the model context.

Build the manifest from the same model-visible view used for the fallback slice.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The heal pass parses every chain's full messages_json on every session load.

deleteSupersededChains at line 1066 selects messages_json for all chains of the session and JSON.parses each blob (line 1074), regardless of loadFullSession. The paged view path exists to avoid exactly that: CHAIN_VIEW_SELECT returns NULL AS messages_json and the budget at lines 1554-1555 caps loaded messages and bytes. Line 1539 now runs the full parse on every loadSessionView call, so opening a large session reads and parses the entire history before the budget applies. The containment scan is also O(n²) over chains.

The scan is also destructive: it deletes rows on a read path, so any false subset match costs durable data on a plain session open.

Restrict the heal. Options, in order of preference:

1. Run it only when a cheap precondition indicates damage, for example when two chains report the same messageCount and the same summary_json preview.
2. Limit candidates to the last few chains, since split-tail orphans are always recent.
3. Gate it on loadFullSession and let finishChain handle the common case.

Run the following script to size the risk on realistic sessions:

Clear the new session mocks in _reset.

_reset clears every other sessionManager mock, including the new applyCompaction. It does not clear load or setCachedSession. vi.clearAllMocks() covers the current suites, but a future suite that calls _reset alone inherits stale call records.

The alias and wrapper add no behavior over the existing fallback.

CompactionFallback is the same component as GenericToolResult, and CompactionToolRenderer only forwards canonical. resolveToolResultRenderer already falls back to GenericToolResult at line 128, so removing the registration produces identical output.

Keep the entry only if it documents an intentional registration contract. In that case register GenericToolResult directly and drop the alias and the wrapper.

♻️ Proposed simplification

-import { GenericToolResult as CompactionFallback } from './GenericToolResult';
-
-const CompactionToolRenderer: ToolResultRenderer = ({ canonical }) => {
-  ...
-  return <CompactionFallback canonical={canonical} />;
-};
-
-toolRenderers.set('compaction', CompactionToolRenderer);
+// Compaction summary is a first-class message (Message.compacted), not a tool
+// result. Tool-shaped compaction payloads use the generic fallback; the primary
+// compaction UI is CompactionWidget, rendered from ChatStream.

persistenceOf reaches into a private field.

Consider exposing a narrow accessor on SubagentManager for tests, or keep the cast and add a guard that throws a clear message when the field is missing.

The fixed 40 ms SETTLE weakens the negative assertions.

Every SETTLE use precedes an assertion of the form "the summarizer was not called". On a loaded CI runner a prepare that would have called the summarizer may simply not have reached the call within 40 ms, so the assertion passes for the wrong reason.

Where a deterministic signal exists — for example the pending promise registered on the record, or a resolved-pending counter — wait on it with the existing until item instead of a sleep. Where no signal exists, consider exposing a test-visible counter of completed prepares.

previewFromMessage, while preserving the existing branch assignments and return
behavior.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/selective/run.ts`:
- Line 59: Update the callback returned by the selective operation runner to
stop destructuring the unused attempt parameter, while preserving manifest and
previousErrors handling.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/middleware/error-classification.ts`:
- Around line 73-96: Update extractErrorMessage() to preserve AI SDK provider
diagnostics from Error objects, including responseBody, data, and cause, before
isContextLengthExceededError() classifies the normalized message. Add a
regression test confirming context-overflow text in those fields is detected.

In `@electron/src/main/session/storage.ts`:
- Around line 2091-2122: Update the insertion logic around the anchorIndex
boundary branches to handle active-chain anchors atomically: either reject
active anchors before modifying chains, or move active_chain_id to the new tail
while ensuring only the correct chain retains ACTIVE status. Prevent the split
fallback from cloning ACTIVE status into tailChain while leaving the pointer on
the head.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/Preferences/CompactionTab.tsx`:

field’s schema maximum to that maximum before calling updateField, rather than
returning silently; preserve the existing minimum and parsing behavior for all
other inputs.

In `@electron/tests/unit/compaction-widget.test.tsx`:

toggle’s accessible title or role. Preserve the assertion that the panel
collapses while avoiding reliance on the removed container click handler.
- Around line 267-302: Replace the prose-based reclaim heuristic tests in the

summary data-compaction states.

compaction configuration, then replace the any annotations on cachedSubagentCfg,
cfg, and cfg2 with that type. Update the catch blocks near the subagent
compaction logic to log the caught errors instead of leaving their bodies empty,
resolving the lint violations without changing surrounding behavior.

Nitpick comments:
In `@electron/src/main/agents/manager.ts`:
- Around line 1615-1632: Remove the unreachable first degradation branch guarded
by stillOver, applyResult.flaggedIds.length === 0, and
!applyResult.summaryMessage, including its partial-report construction and
fallback catch; rely on the existing second exhaustion-handling block instead.

In `@electron/src/main/agents/subagent-runner.ts`:
- Around line 320-321: Extract the duplicated compactable-slice filtering and
empty-result guard into one local helper above the mode branch, then replace
both computations at the paths around compactableSliceForFallback and the
corresponding later slice with calls to that helper. Preserve the existing range
inputs, exclusion criteria, and null behavior.
- Around line 390-392: Update the accounting argument passed to
summarizeCompactableRange to use { sessionId, chainId, turnId } directly when
accountingStore is absent, removing the redundant unknown and Parameters<typeof
summarizeCompactableRange> type assertion while preserving the existing
store/session data when accountingStore is available.

In `@electron/src/main/config/schema.ts`:
- Around line 109-116: Remove the console.warn side effect from the
keep_recent_chains Zod transform in configSchema, keeping the schema
transformation pure while still accepting and ignoring the deprecated value.
Emit the deprecation warning once from the configuration load path, or use an
appropriate module-level deduplication mechanism if no loader hook is available.

In `@electron/src/main/ipc/chat/compaction.ts`:
- Around line 597-605: Remove the redundant compactionPending.delete call from
the CompactionApplyError branch in the shown catch handler, leaving the existing
abort, widget completion, and return behavior unchanged.
- Around line 381-495: Export buildCompactedCacheChains and
publishCompactedSession from persist.ts, then update persistSelectiveCompaction
to use them for cache rebuilding and SESSION_UPDATED/SESSION_COMPACTION
publishing. Remove the local flagged-chain, summary insertion, changedIds, and
event-broadcast implementation while preserving the existing durable persistence
flow and helper inputs.

In `@electron/src/main/ipc/chat/persist.ts`:
- Around line 157-163: Update the guard selection in the setTimeout callback for
scheduleCheckpoint so an existing pending entry uses only entry.guard, including
when it is undefined; apply the closure guard only when no entry exists.
Preserve the subsequent effectiveGuard check and checkpoint behavior.

In `@electron/src/main/ipc/chat/send.ts`:
- Around line 645-755: Extract the repeated post-compaction state reset into a
shared helper near the affected flow, including anchoring at userMessage.id,
updating both message arrays and priorMessageCount, clearing turnMessages and
streamSegments, and resetting all committed-length, artifact, and usage fields.
Replace both compaction resume branches with the helper, and reuse it in the
overflow retry while preserving any intentional streamSegments behavior.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/select.ts`:
- Around line 95-97: Replace the truthiness check in hasCompactedMarker with a
shared exported predicate that validates non-empty rangeStart and rangeEnd
fields and a mode included in COMPACTION_MODES; import and reuse this predicate
in context-snapshot.ts so both modules apply identical marker validation.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/selective/run.ts`:
- Line 404: Remove the unused lastCorrectedOps variable and its assignments in
the selective operation flow, unless it is needed to populate the fallback
reason; do not retain writes that are never read.

In `@electron/src/main/llm/compaction/trigger.ts`:
- Around line 114-167: Remove the unused hysteresisDelta and compactableRange
fields from shouldTriggerCompaction, and remove threshold, hysteresisDelta,
compactableRange, lastCompactionInputTokens, and postCompactionInputTokens from
shouldApplyAtBoundary. Alternatively, explicitly document each intentionally
ignored field in the relevant JSDoc, while keeping the decision behavior
unchanged.
- Around line 61-62: Remove the unused peakWhileArmed field and its assignments
from TriggerState, updateTriggerStateOnUsage, and markCompactionApplied, unless
the hysteresis decision is explicitly updated to consume it; ensure persisted
trigger state no longer carries an unread value.

In `@electron/src/main/session/manager.ts`:
- Line 890: Update the session update flow around the chains mapping and the
`updated` object construction: compute the retired-chain filter result first,
then pass that final chain list directly into `updated` when creating the
snapshot. Remove the later mutation of `updated.chains` and preserve the
existing chain filtering behavior.

In `@electron/src/main/session/storage.ts`:
- Around line 2020-2039: In the flagged-message handling within

its owning chain IDs by indexing entries once, then resolve each
payload.flaggedMessageIds value through that map instead of filtering entries

messages belonging to multiple chains.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ChatStream.tsx`:
- Around line 443-470: In the tool-rendering logic, combine the two
item.block.toolName === 'compaction' conditionals into one branch that handles
both running and generating statuses, while preserving the existing null return
for all other statuses and the CompactionRunningWidget behavior for active
statuses.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ContextGrid.tsx`:
- Around line 592-603: Update the ContextCategories construction in
ContextGrid.tsx to assign breakdown.summary directly to base.summary when it is
greater than zero, removing the unnecessary { summary: number } type assertion
while preserving the existing conditional behavior.
- Around line 299-311: In the token distribution calculations, remove the
duplicate distTotalChars declaration and reuse totalChars for the toolUseTokens
and userTokens denominator, preserving the existing zero-check and allocation
behavior.

In `@electron/src/renderer/components/ToolResults/registry.tsx`:
- Line 14: Remove the redundant CompactionFallback alias and
CompactionToolRenderer wrapper, along with their registration, since
resolveToolResultRenderer already defaults to GenericToolResult. If the
compaction registration is an intentional contract, register GenericToolResult
directly instead and preserve the canonical forwarding behavior.

In `@electron/src/renderer/themes/green-terminal.css`:
- Line 149: Update the --context-summary token to use each theme’s palette: in
electron/src/renderer/themes/green-terminal.css lines 149-149, replace `#8b5cf6`
with the appropriate green CRT palette value; in
electron/src/renderer/themes/light.css lines 149-149, use `#7c3aed`; and in
electron/src/renderer/themes/solarized-light.css lines 145-145, use `#6c71c4`.
Keep the changes limited to these theme token definitions.

In `@electron/src/renderer/utils/stream-building.ts`:
- Around line 437-455: Replace the repeated compactedBuffer.includes(result)
check in the expansion loop with a Set of buffered message identities created
once before iteration, then use Set membership when handling TOOL_CALL messages
in the stream-building logic.

In `@electron/tests/unit/chat-ipc.test.ts`:
- Around line 278-279: Update the sessionManager mock’s _reset implementation to
explicitly clear the load and setCachedSession mocks, matching the existing
reset behavior for the other sessionManager methods and ensuring reset works
independently of vi.clearAllMocks().
- Around line 190-199: Update the aiStreamText mock to resolve usage with
zero-valued inputTokens, outputTokens, and totalTokens, and attach rejection
handling to the ready-derived usage promise so aiGenerateText failures do not
become unhandled rejections. Preserve the existing textStream behavior.

In `@electron/tests/unit/subagent-compaction.test.ts`:
- Around line 279-282: Make persistenceOf safer by exposing and using a narrow
SubagentManager accessor for the persistence collaborator, or retain the cast
with an explicit guard that throws a clear error when _persistence is absent.
Ensure renamed or missing private state fails with an actionable message instead
of an opaque undefined error.
- Around line 223-234: Replace fixed-delay SETTLE waits before negative
summarizer assertions with deterministic until-based signals, such as the
record’s registered pending promise or resolved-pending counter. For cases
without an existing observable signal, expose a test-visible completed-prepares
counter and wait for it through an until ScriptItem; update the affected tests
while preserving assertions that the summarizer was not called.

Fix the garbled sentence in the summarize guidance.

"For rate, use keep_range to preserve exact lines of long tool outputs instead of summarizing." is not readable. The prompt text is model input, so ambiguity degrades op quality.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change

When you summarize, the generated text must itself be a Piebald-grade handoff for that contiguous span: preserve user goals, key decisions, file paths with one-line why, critical snippets, tool outcomes, errors, and security constraints verbatim. Only summarize tool calls and tool outputs and assistant messages; never summarize user or thinking messages into the summary text. For rate, use keep_range to preserve exact lines of long tool outputs instead of summarizing. Prefer keep_range for file reads longer than 50 lines, error stacks, test failures, grep hits, and AST symbols.

Preserve pre-existing excludeFromModel flags during the settle pass.

The settle pass currently clears exclusions for every message in the compactable range unless its id appears in flaggedIds. That can make previously reclaimed or cancelled content visible again, even though the compaction apply path preserves those flags.

Record the messages that were already excluded before settling and do not unflag them. Add a regression test with a pre-excluded message inside the compactable range that is absent from flaggedIds, asserting that it remains excluded.

Return false when the session cannot be loaded.

Line 389 returns true after getSession and load both fail. Every caller treats true as a durable write and then calls setChatHistory(...) and trigger.onCompactionApplied(...) (lines 574-579, 630-633, 866-869, 935-938). The in-memory replay and the trigger baseline then describe a compaction that was never persisted, and the next reload restores the pre-compaction history.

persistCompactionBetweenTurns in electron/src/main/ipc/chat/persist.ts returns false in the same situation. Align both.

     const existing = manager.getSession(sessionId) ?? manager.load(sessionId);

Vercel AI SDK APICallError responseBody property provider error details

💡 Result:

The APICallError in the Vercel AI SDK occurs when an API request to a provider fails [1][2]. The responseBody property of this error object contains the raw response body returned by the API [1][2]. When handling this error, you can use the responseBody to access detailed information about why the provider request failed, especially if the error message itself is generic [3]. Key details regarding APICallError and responseBody: 1. Accessing Error Details: If you have an APICallError, the responseBody property (which is optional) holds the raw string response from the provider [1][2]. Developers often attempt to parse this as JSON to extract specific error codes or messages provided by the service [4][5]. 2. Utility for Extraction: The Vercel AI SDK includes internal utilities (like extractApiCallResponse) that attempt to parse the responseBody automatically [4][5]. This utility prefers the error.data property if available, but falls back to attempting to JSON-parse the responseBody, returning the raw string if parsing fails [4][5]. 3. Debugging Context: Historically, some provider errors were surfaced with opaque messages (e.g., "Bad Request"), while the actual diagnostic information was hidden within the responseBody [3]. Modern updates to the SDK often aim to surface these details more clearly in the error message itself, but the responseBody remains the primary source for full, unparsed provider error details [3]. To handle this in your application, ensure you verify that the error is indeed an instance of APICallError before attempting to access its properties [1][2]: import { APICallError } from 'ai'; if (APICallError.isInstance(error)) { console.log('Status Code:', error.statusCode); console.log('Raw Response Body:', error.responseBody); // Example of manual parsing try { const details = JSON.parse(error.responseBody?? '{}'); console.log('Parsed Details:', details); } catch (e) { console.log('Could not parse response body as JSON'); } }

Preserve provider diagnostics during stream-error normalization.

extractErrorMessage() reduces an Error to err.message before this classifier receives it. Widening this Error branch alone cannot detect context-overflow text in AI SDK responseBody, data, or cause. Include these fields in extractErrorMessage() and add a regression test.

Prevent active-chain splits from creating duplicate active rows.

The chains table has no unique (session_id, ordinal) constraint, so the bulk shifts are safe. Compaction does not exclude active anchors. The storage fallback clones ACTIVE status into the tail and leaves active_chain_id on the head. Reject active anchors or update the pointer and statuses atomically.

Out-of-range input is rejected without feedback.

handleNumberChange returns early when the parsed value exceeds the upper bound. The inputs are controlled by cfg.*, so the field snaps back and the user sees no reason. A user who types 0.99 into Threshold sees the value revert silently.

Clamp the value to the bound instead of discarding the change, or surface an inline validation message.

This assertion locks in the container click-to-collapse behavior.

Line 105 collapses the panel through getByTitle('Click to collapse'), which is the content container. That handler blocks text selection and links inside the panel. If you remove the container handler as noted on CompactionWidget.tsx, update this step to click the header toggle instead.

collapse interaction in the test around the visible click call to target the

These cases pin the prose-based reclaim heuristic.

Lines 267-279 require that a short note containing "reclaim" renders as reclaim-only, and lines 295-302 require the opposite for a long note. Both encode the length-and-wording rule flagged on isReclaimOnly. If the heuristic moves to structural facts, replace these cases with structural fixtures such as summarizedCount: 0 or empty content.

Replace the prose-based reclaim heuristic tests in the CompactionWidget suite
with structural fixtures: use summarizedCount: 0 or empty content to represent
reclaim-only output, and a positive summarizedCount or substantive content for a
full summary. Remove assertions that depend on “reclaim” wording or message
length while preserving the expected reclaim and summary data-compaction states.
