A piece of text that reminded Claude during compaction, \"REMINDER: Do NOT call any tools. Respond with plain text only\", is no longer stored where it was. A separate change marks when the compaction transcript is unavailable.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis may change the instructions Claude gets during compaction.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
