It now:\n\n- keeps critical system reminders through compaction and passes them on to helper agents\n\n- shortens or saves to a file any very long report handed back by another agent\n\nBefore, only the queued commands from those handed-back reports were carried over.\n\n**Why**\n\nLong sessions with several agents lose less important information when the conversation is compacted.\n\n- Area: Compaction\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
