Summarize a conversation's older "head" into a structured anchored Markdown
summary while preserving the most recent turns verbatim, shrinking context size
while keeping the information needed to continue coherently. Triggered by a
"Compact conversation" button in Chat Settings (not an agent tool).
Approach informed by OpenCode's session/compaction.ts:
- Ported SUMMARY_TEMPLATE (Goal / Constraints / Progress / Key Decisions /
Next Steps / Critical Context / Relevant Files) and the anchored-summary
buildPrompt (re-summarizes a prior summary when present).
- Ported the TOOL_OUTPUT_MAX_CHARS (2000) cap on tool results in the summary
request.
- Simplified tail selection to a fixed recent-turn count (DEFAULT_TAIL_TURNS=2)
instead of OpenCode's token-budget splitTurn.
core:
- New src/compaction/ module (pure, DB-free): template, prompt builder,
head/tail selection, transcript renderer with tool-output capping, prior
summary extraction. Generic over ChatMessage so callers keep turnId/seq.
- db/chunks.ts: rekeyChunks(from,to) relocates a tab's full history to a
backup tab (reversible — nothing is deleted).
- AgentEvent: compaction-started / -complete / -error variants.
api:
- AgentManager.compactTab(tempTabId, sourceTabId): side-effect-free
resolveConnection() for the compactor model (configured compaction_model_*,
else the source tab's own key+model), one-shot tool-less summary generation
via a transient Agent, then relocate full history to a fresh backup tab and
re-seed the canonical source id with [summary turn + preserved tail]. Source
tab is locked (messages queue) during the run; queue drains afterward.
- Routes: POST /tabs/:id/compact, GET/PUT /tabs/settings/compaction-model.
frontend:
- "Compact conversation" button in ModelSelector (Chat Settings), between
Working Directory and the agent toggle; idle-gated.
- Compaction-model key+model selector in Settings, beside the title model.
- Transient placeholder tab shows a large, non-faded "Please wait, compacting
conversation…" screen; closing it cancels. Source input locked while running.
- Handle compaction-* events: reload compacted source, insert backup tab,
refocus source, discard placeholder.
tests: core compaction unit tests, rekeyChunks DB test, AgentManager.compactTab
orchestration tests, and compaction route tests. All green (713 tests), biome
clean, all typechecks pass, frontend builds.
