What
The "Auto-compact window" line in /context was rewritten. Auto-compact is when Claude Code shortens a long conversation automatically so it fits. The line still says where that window setting comes from, but the labels now come from a single table rather than fixed text for each case, so the wording may differ slightly from before.
Why
In practice this line may read a little differently, while still telling you where the auto-compact window comes from.
