Improved Autocompact Notification / Claude Code v2.1.120

The autocompact notification has been refined:

Message changed from "compacted at the auto window (N tokens)" to "compacting at the auto N window · configure with /autocompact"
Notification priority changed from "medium" to "immediate" for better visibility
Now uses the "suggestion" color theme and a 12-second timeout

Evidence

Notification text updated — search for "compacting at the auto" and "configure with /autocompact"

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.

Set the auto-compact window: how full the context window gets before Claude Code compacts automatically. Pass a size such as 500k, or auto to return to the window tuned for your model. Claude Code saves the value to user settings and applies it to the current session. See Set the auto-compact window for accepted values and what overrides it. Without an argument, opens a dialog that shows the current window. Requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later
