When it starts, Claude Code now resets its count of how long the current response is and signals a \"requesting\" state, before announcing that compaction has begun.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe spinner or token counter should no longer show leftover numbers from the previous response while compaction runs.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Names: `\/compact`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
