Autocompact
Harness-triggered compaction that shortens conversation state when a session approaches a configured limit.
Illustrative conversation
- Why did the session keep going after its history became very long?
- The harness autocompacted older turns into a shorter state representation before the next request.
Definition
Autocompact is a product or harness feature that automatically replaces older conversation state with a smaller compaction item or summary when a configured threshold is reached. It can let work continue without a manual restart, but compression is lossy and does not guarantee that every constraint survives. Durable facts should remain in source files or a handoff artifact that can be reloaded.
