Harden DCP chat transforms and clarify compacted output#510
Conversation
Replace the opaque '[Old tool result content cleared]' placeholder with '[Tool output compacted locally; original in session storage.]' to make it clear that compaction is a local optimization, not a provider failure. This reduces confusion when users see compacted output in their sessions.
Apply three defensive patches from 2026-04-16 session hardening: 1. hooks.ts: Wrap createChatMessageTransformHandler body in try/catch so any DCP transform failure degrades safely instead of aborting the session. 2. message-ids.ts: Replace hard-throw on alias exhaustion with graceful degradation (return empty string). This prevents session crashes when message volume exceeds the referenceable range. 3. token-utils.ts: (already committed) Improve compacted tool output placeholder message for clarity. These are fail-open defensive changes that reduce ghost/hard-stop behavior when DCP encounters edge cases.

This is a string that is set by opencode for messages that they prune, did they change it to yours?

Reverted this to the original opencode placeholder string.

This doesn't make much sense we already allow for 9999 messages and if somehow a session has more than that I would rather see an error than for things to silently fail

Agreed. Restored the explicit capacity error and updated the regression coverage to assert the throw instead of silently stopping.

I think this would still allow these functions to mutate messages, if there is an error thrown we should probably use a deep copy or something like that instead of a partially completed mutation wherever the error occured

Good point. I changed the fail-open path to run transforms against a cloned message array and only commit back to output.messages after the pipeline succeeds, preserving the original array identity with splice. If a transform throws, the original messages are left untouched. Added regression coverage for late transform failure, clone failure, and the disabled-subagent pre-skip path.
