Improved Compaction Error Messages
EntryKind: in v2.1.97,
ImprovementsSection of the release
Compaction failure messages are now more specific:
- "Compaction failed · attached media exceeds size limits" — when media attachments are too large
- "Compaction failed · conversation could not be reduced below the context limit" — when the conversation itself is too long
Evidence
New error strings (search for "Compaction failed · attached media exceeds size limits")
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
