Under the hood

The 'Critical memory usage' banner code was reorganized with memoization, keeping the same wording

What

The 'Critical memory usage' banner, which suggests restarting and resuming with --continue and, in some cases, running /compact to free up context, is now rendered by a memoized component. It still only appears when memory usage is at the 'critical' tier, not the 'high' tier. The banner's text itself is unchanged.

Why

This is an internal rendering change; the guidance shown to users when memory usage is critical stays the same.

How sure we are
One source agreesOne thing we can check says the same as this entry.
Anthropic's release notes agreeFixed an active /goal being lost when resuming (--continue / --resume) a session that had compacted
