Unclear It is not clear whether the new summary instruction always applies or only when the remotely switched note is on.
Compacting is when Claude Code summarizes a long conversation to free up room. The request to write that summary comes from Claude Code itself, not from you. The prompt that asks for the summary now says this. It also says the request must not appear in the summary as one of your messages, a pending task or a next step.
Separately, Claude Code can now add a note about the compact-conversation tool to the main conversation when that tool is available. Helper agents do not get this note. The note is off unless it is switched on remotely.
This stops summaries from recording "compact the conversation" as something you asked for. Otherwise, after compacting, Claude might go on treating it as unfinished work.
