Claude's context meter can miss the auto-compaction threshold when autoCompactWindow is set in Claude's own settings. A 500,000-token window therefore looks like it has the full model window available even though Claude compacts at about 467,000 tokens.

T3 now reads Claude's settings for the active turn when its own provider override is empty, respecting settings-file and launch-settings precedence. The threshold follows the settings directory and launch settings of the live Claude process when a query is reused. The existing model-window ceiling stays unchanged. This is a focused fix for the incorrect threshold reported in #29173; #27810 also addresses this settings lookup alongside a broader meter change.

Verification:

The adapter regression cases failed on the original code (no threshold for a 500,000-token user setting), then passed with the fix. They cover the T3 override, project and launch settings, model-specific settings, invalid types, and usage after compaction. The out-of-range cases also passed in upstream CI.
vp run check:changed passed on the updated branch: 299 tests, lint, format, knip, and typecheck. A two-turn test failed before the query-reuse fix (117,000 then 147,000) and passed after it (117,000 for both).
In an isolated Linux dev server, a real Claude Haiku turn with autoCompactWindow: 150000 in its Claude home settings completed and persisted autoCompactThreshold: 117000 with maxTokens: 1000000.

The threshold does not yet account for Claude's environment overrides, --autocompact, managed policy settings, or canonicalized per-model aliases. No frontend code changed.

Reviewed with review-loop: 1 round with Claude Opus 5.5. Reviewer verdict: approved. The invalid-value boundary and query-reuse fixes, with regression cases, followed the review.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The adapter now reports compaction thresholds from existing Claude settings, including model-specific overrides. This affects usage reporting rather than compaction behavior or product defaults.

Needs human approval because:

Walkthrough

ClaudeAdapterV2 resolves an auto-compaction window for each turn from adapter settings, launch arguments, and settings files. It stores the resolved value in turn context and uses it for context-usage reporting. Tests cover setting precedence, model-specific values, invalid settings, and project-specific values.

Changes: Per-turn Claude auto-compaction settings

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Decode and resolve settings `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts`	Settings decoding accepts compact-window values. Resolution checks a nonempty adapter setting, then launch settings and settings files in precedence order. It supports model-specific lookup and accepts integer windows from 100,000 through 1,000,000. The shared settings-file ordering is also used for tool-search overrides.
Apply and verify the window `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts`	The adapter stores the resolved window in active-turn context and uses it for context-usage events. Tests cover settings sources, precedence, invalid values, and reused queries with different working directories.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the server-side change: Claude settings compaction threshold reporting. The raw summary shows the adapter now reads autoCompactWindow from Claude settings files and launch args to compute the per-turn auto-compact threshold, so the title matches the main change. It follows the conventional commit format from the template and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, the verification steps, and the stated limitations, so it is substantially complete. Gaps against the template: the 'Scope and approval' section is missing. It does not link a triaged bug issue or maintainer-approved discussion. It refers to #29173 as the reported issue, but it does not say whether a maintainer triaged that issue or approved the direction. It also does not explain why the fix qualifies without prior approval, which the template asks for when no approval link exists. The Verification section gives concrete results, and the template's note that 'Tests pass' alone is insufficient is satisfied. The model attribution line is present.

Resolution

Add a 'Scope and approval' section. Link the triaged bug issue #29173 and show maintainer approval of the direction and scope, with the approval comment. If no maintainer approval exists, explain why this focused configuration fix qualifies without a prior issue or discussion. Describe what the existing auto-compaction capability already does and what the settings lookup controls.

Keep the reported window aligned with the reused Claude query.

When a later turn supplies a different runtimePolicy.cwd with the same native thread, query policy, and model selection, resolveAutoCompactWindow reads the new directory, but openQuery returns the existing query without comparing cwd. Claude therefore keeps the original query settings while T3 reports the new directory’s compaction threshold. Store the effective window with the live query, or replace the query when its settings directory changes. Add a two-turn regression test with different project windows.

🤖 GPT-6.1 Terra responding on behalf of voltcrash

Fixed in a7425964c3. A reused query now keeps its original settings directory and launch-settings snapshot when resolving the threshold. A two-turn regression reproduces the mismatch (117,000 then 147,000) and now reports 117,000 for both turns. vp run check:changed passed with 299 tests.

CcoderabbitaiBot10d ago

@voltcrash The supplied code addresses this finding. startTurn now resolves the threshold from the live query’s settingsCwd and launchArgSettings, so a later turn’s directory does not change the reported threshold for a reused query.

Thanks for adding the two-turn regression and reporting the passing checks.

Note

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

merged current main without rebasing, preserving its post-compaction usage handling and this pr's query-reuse settings lookup. settings files now use strict json. the lookup also matches claude's handling of top-level "auto" and malformed modelSettings; four regression rows failed before the corresponding fixes. added the missing crypto layer to the existing query-reuse test after the merge.

blacksmith vp run check:changed passed: format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck, and 311 tests. two independent reviews approved 47926fc87d48b51b47d7200b69d121f039fb4e0e. a fresh live claude turn remains unverified because this vm has no claude login.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 47926fc87d48b51b47d7200b69d121f039fb4e0e on a linux boat vm. used separate main and pr data directories, one dev server at a time, playwright from the repo, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. created the project and threads through the web app against a real git repository. all turns used real providers through the local proxy, with no mocks or replay data.

on github/main (3368dd70f2), a real claude sonnet 4.6 turn with project .claude/settings.json containing {"autoCompactWindow":150000} completed, but persisted no autoCompactThreshold. the context tooltip omitted the threshold.
on this pr, the same project, setting, model and prompt persisted autoCompactThreshold: 117000 with maxTokens: 200000. the client tooltip displayed "compacts automatically at about 117,000 tokens."
a follow-up turn in the same claude thread completed and retained 117,000.
setting the t3 provider override to 180,000 produced 147,000 in a new session, taking precedence over the project setting. the existing session retained its original 117,000.
real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns completed on both main and the pr head.
blacksmith ran the existing compaction and reused-query regression cases: 19 passed. the head also has 29 successful ci checks. no source changes or pushes were needed.

short runtime transcript, read from each running app's persisted provider-turn projection:

text

1	main, project window 150000: completed, maxTokens=200000, autoCompactThreshold absent
2	pr, project window 150000: completed, maxTokens=200000, autoCompactThreshold=117000
3	pr, follow-up: completed, maxTokens=200000, autoCompactThreshold=117000
4	pr, t3 override 180000: completed, maxTokens=200000, autoCompactThreshold=147000
5	pr, codex gpt-6.1-sol: completed, response=codex-neighbor-ok

main: matching project and prompt, context tooltip has no compaction threshold

pr: matching project and prompt, context tooltip reports 117,000 tokens

Not verified

native desktop, ios and android clients; remote relay and tunnel connections; actually filling the context to trigger compaction; every settings-file and launch-argument precedence combination through a live provider. the focused regression cases cover those settings variants in isolation. this verifies threshold reporting and nearby live behavior, not a full compaction cycle.

claude haiku 4.5's undated model id was rejected by this proxy, so the app checks used claude sonnet 4.6. the dated haiku id worked in a separate direct cli connectivity check.
