If a summary was already being made when you stop the turn, Claude Code can now keep it. The next compaction can then use it.\n\nThe kept summary is thrown away if the messages it covers have changed since, or if the point where it starts can no longer be found.\n\n**Why**\n\nStopping a turn no longer wastes a summary that was already on its way.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
