A \"Compacted\" line appears when this happens. Before this release, that line only told you which key to press to see the earlier messages or the history.\n\nThe line now has a version for the summary, and it can add a second line reading \"Earlier messages are saved in\" followed by a file location, when Claude Code knows where they were saved.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou can now find the full conversation from before compaction on disk.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
