Claude then receives a note explaining that the session is being continued. That note has new wording, and it no longer includes the line \"Recent messages are preserved verbatim.\"\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes what Claude is told right after compaction, which can affect how it treats the earlier part of the conversation.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
