Failed compaction now shows 'Could not compact' with either 'conversation too long' or 'attached media too large', each suggesting /clear

What

Compaction summarizes older parts of a conversation to free up room. Its error text used to be a single hint, "/clear to start fresh". It is now split into:

  • "Could not compact"
  • "conversation too long · /clear to start fresh"
  • "attached media too large · /clear to start fresh"

/clear starts a new conversation with empty context.

Why

You can now tell when the problem is attached images or other media being too large rather than the conversation itself being too long.
