Status: Mitigated (hard-disabled pending proper reimplementation)
Symptoms:
- Dream, Subconscious, Conscious, and Orchestrator calls fail with:
- context_management: Extra inputs are not permitted
- Fallback path triggers and response quality degrades.
Where mitigation was added:
- UI lockout (compaction cannot be enabled):
- Client save/hydration hard-false + disabled checkbox:
- Server-side config coercion (force compaction false):
- Runtime hard-stop (never send context_management compaction):
Additional hardening in same patch set:
- Corrupted apiKey payload rejection to prevent log/error text being saved as keys:
MA-side alignment (2026-03-24):
- MA compaction now defaults OFF for Anthropic until API-level compaction is reintroduced safely:
- MA settings compaction checkbox now defaults unchecked and only hydrates enabled when explicitly true/mode:
Follow-up required:
- Reimplement Anthropic compaction exactly per current API contract and account tier support.
- Add integration tests for compact beta header + fallback behavior.
