LLM summarization of compacted history (SPECS §19.3, the last outstanding spec item) — when the context budget forces
Compactionto discard the oldest messages,SubagentRunner.runSummarizer()first condenses them into 3–5 bullets covering files touched, changes made, and decisions reached; the summary is pinned to the front of the retained history so the model keeps the gist of what it can no longer see. Previously that context was simply lost.Cost is bounded and opt-out: the call fires only when messages would otherwise be dropped, so an under-budget turn spends nothing.
max_tokensis capped at 512, no tools are sent, and the transcript is bounded both per-message (2000 chars) and in total (24000 chars, newest kept). Room for the summary is reserved before truncation so the injected summary cannot push retained history back over its budget — and only when truncation is actually needed, so a history that already fits is never truncated or summarized. Summaries are cached per span (the agent loop rebuilds context each iteration, so an uncached 10-iteration turn paid for 10 near-identical summaries), their token usage is recorded against the session, the transcript carries secret-maskedtoolInputso files read can be named, and relevance filtering runs before injection so the summary cannot be filtered out. Disable withsummarize_on_compact: false.Every failure mode degrades to the plain truncation already applied — no provider, a provider error, a non-final response, a blank summary, or a throwing summarizer. A summarization failure costs context, never the turn.
Compaction.compact()is nowasyncand takes an optionalHistorySummarizer; with none supplied its behaviour is unchanged. 14 new tests
Fixed
gpt-5.6-*models printed a debug warning on every turn — the unsupported-parameter retry lived only on the non-streaming path, so a model needingreasoning_effort: nonefailed the stream, printed⚠ [debug] Streaming failed, falling back, and recovered silently viacomplete(). Functionally correct but it read as a broken session. The streaming path now performs the same retry in place
