Autocompact Thrashing Detection

What

The autocompact circuit breaker now uses a fixed threshold of 3 consecutive rapid refills (rather than a configurable parameter embedded in the message), and the error message is now more actionable.

Details
  • New message: "Autocompact is thrashing: the context refilled to the limit within 3 turns of the previous compact, 3 times in a row. A file being read or a tool output is likely too large for the context window. Try reading in smaller chunks, or use /clear to start fresh."
  • Previous message was split across multiple string fragments; it's now a single constant.
Evidence

New constant (search for "Autocompact is thrashing: the context refilled to the limit within 3 turns")

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