  • Update DefaultConfig() in config/config.go: 20000 -> 100000
  • Update config.example.yaml: 20000 -> 100000
  • Update README.md example: 16500/20000 -> 82500/100000

Fixes #63 - 20k context size was too small and caused frequent squashing that disrupted conversation flow. 100k provides 5x more capacity while staying within modern AI model limits.

Code Review

Overall Assessment

This PR addresses issue #63 by increasing the default context size from 20k to 100k tokens. The changes are minimal, consistent, and well-justified.

✅ Code Quality & Best Practices

  • Clean and consistent: All 3 files (config.go, config.example.yaml, README.md) are updated consistently
  • Follows existing patterns: The change maintains the existing configuration structure
  • Good documentation: README.md example is updated to reflect the new values appropriately

✅ No Bugs or Issues Detected

  • The change is straightforward numeric value updates
  • No logic changes that could introduce bugs
  • Configuration loading and validation remain unchanged
  • Existing functionality preserved

✅ Performance Considerations

  • Memory impact: 5x increase in context size will use ~5x more memory per conversation
  • Squashing threshold: The 80% squashing threshold (config/squash.go:21) scales appropriately to 80k tokens
  • Processing overhead: Token estimation and context management will handle larger contexts but with proportional computational cost
  • Reasonable limits: 100k tokens is within modern AI model context windows

✅ Security Concerns

  • No security implications identified
  • Configuration value changes dont introduce attack vectors
  • No credential or sensitive data exposure risks

✅ Test Coverage

  • Existing tests still valid: The test in process_message_test.go:64 uses a small value (100 tokens) specifically to trigger squashing behavior, which remains appropriate
  • No new tests needed: This is a configuration default change that doesnt require additional test coverage
  • Existing logic tested: Context squashing logic and thresholds are already covered by tests

💡 Considerations

  1. Resource usage: Users should be aware that larger context sizes will consume more memory and potentially slower processing
  2. Backwards compatibility: Users with existing configs will retain their current settings (good)
  3. Model compatibility: 100k is reasonable for modern models but consider documenting recommended ranges

Recommendation

✅ APPROVE - This is a well-implemented change that addresses the user experience issue of frequent conversation squashing while staying within reasonable resource limits.

The change is minimal, safe, and addresses a legitimate usability concern without introducing any risks.
