What
Compaction is when Claude Code shortens earlier parts of a long conversation to free up room. The check that can skip compaction now works out its limit with a shared calculation. Before, it compared how close the conversation was to being blocked against the size of the context window, which is how much the model can see at once. The check is still behind the remote switch tengu_concurrent_lake.
Readings taken before this release found that switch off, both for this site's account and for an anonymous account.
Why
The switch is off by default, so nothing changes unless it is turned on remotely.

Feature flag
tengu_concurrent_lakeOff in both readings
The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.
This account: off · anonymous baseline: off · compiled default in v2.1.323: off
These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.
