Now it checks whether compaction has been disabled (via the `DISABLE_COMPACT` environment variable) first, and if so, tells you to start a new session instead of suggesting `\/compact`.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis avoids pointing you to a command that won't work if compaction has been turned off, giving you a suggestion that will actually resolve the problem.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
