With CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1 in ~/.claude/settings.json, Claude Code runs Opus 5.5 with a 200k window and stops turns with "Prompt is too long" at about 177k. T3's context meter meanwhile read "18% · 182k/1m" and "Compacts automatically at about 267,000 tokens", so the failure looked impossible. The meter took its window from the bundled catalog (1M for Opus 5.5) and ignored the contextWindow Claude Code reports for each model in result.modelUsage.

Now the window a session's own Claude process reports wins over the catalog, which is only the fallback until that session's first result. The reported windows are kept per session, because project settings can give two sessions on the same model different windows. With the real 200k window, the existing check that hides an autoCompactWindow at or above the window drops the false 267k threshold, and the meter reads about 182k/200k.

The adapter table test covers 1M catalog with 200k reported, threshold suppression, and another model's modelUsage entry not overriding the session's model. A new test checks two sessions on one model reporting different windows stay isolated.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 5ea686c

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Context reporting now prefers the window Claude actually enforces and keeps reported values isolated between sessions. Catalog fallback remains unchanged, with no change to configured product defaults.

Walkthrough

Claude context-window lookup now prefers the value reported by the current session, then falls back to the model catalog. Tests cover model matching, auto-compaction thresholds, and distinct reported windows across sessions.

Changes: Claude session context-window selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Session-scoped window selection and coverage `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.ts`, `apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts`	The adapter stores reported windows per session and checks them before catalog values. It returns `null` when neither source has a value. Tests cover matching and non-matching model reports, updated auto-compaction thresholds, and separate reported values across sessions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review 8d111

The context meter now follows the window Claude enforces. After a handoff into a project with different window settings, the meter may show the previous window for one turn. This is a narrow, accepted limitation, so merge risk is low.

Discard a reported window when its Claude process is replaced.

If one session replaces a Claude query with a process that uses different project settings, reportedContextWindows still contains the previous process’s value. The new turn then emits that value as maxTokens and calculates its compaction threshold from it until the new process reports a window. Scope reports to the native query, or clear them when a replacement opens. Extend the session test with a replacement that changes the reported window. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per coding guidelines, “Backend behavior changes ship with focused tests for that behavior.”

Note

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of vladikkuzn

Not changing this. Clearing on replacement trades a rare stale turn for a common one.

openQuery replaces the native query whenever the policy key or selection forces a restart (permission mode, MCP overrides, a model change that can't apply live), not only on a worktree handoff. Those replacements almost always load the same settings files, so the retained window is still right. Clearing it would fall back to the catalog (1M for Opus 5.5) for that turn, which is the misreport this PR fixes.

The case you describe needs a handoff into a project whose .claude/settings.json changes the window. There the stale value lasts one turn: the replacement's first result updates the map, and the existing re-emit corrects maxTokens and the threshold before the turn finishes. Keying reports to the native query is a reasonable follow-up if that case shows up in practice.

CcoderabbitaiBot6d ago

@vladikkuzn Understood. Clearing the map on every replacement would discard a useful reported window even when settings stay unchanged.

The supplied code confirms that a new reported window updates the map and triggers a usage re-emit when context usage is available. The stale-window case remains an accepted limitation, not a required change for this PR. I won’t press the change.

Would you like a follow-up issue for handling replacements that load different context-window settings?

Merged current main (no rebase). Main had moved the catalog from BUNDLED_CLAUDE_MODEL_CATALOG to a reloadable modelCatalog, so this conflicted. Resolution: keep main's adapter-level modelCatalog, and keep this PR's per-session reportedContextWindows with its reported-first order, now reading modelCatalog the way main does. No other changes. vp run check:changed passes, including the 345 ClaudeAdapterV2 tests.

Verified in a real dev environment

verified unchanged head 12978cea8f3cf7876505b1059a011e2e323e20f7 on linux with the real dev web client, repo Playwright, and /usr/bin/google-chrome. projects and turns were created through the app. real codex gpt-6.1-sol and claude claude-opus-5-5 ran through the local provider proxy. no mocks or replay data.

on github/main (e4d86abca9), with CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=1 and auto-compact set to 300000, the native claude result reported contextWindow: 200000. the app incorrectly showed 32k / 1m and “compacts automatically at about 267,000 tokens.”
on the exact pr head, the same model, prompt, project, and settings showed 32k / 200k (16%) and no false compaction threshold. a follow-up turn completed and retained 200k.
a second project used CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_1M_CONTEXT=0 in its claude project settings. the same provider instance and opus model reported 1m; its meter showed 24k / 1m and retained the valid 267000 threshold. returning to the original session and sending another turn still showed 200k, confirming session isolation.
real codex turns completed on main and the pr. on the pr, codex wrote the second project's settings and the client displayed the resulting file change.
blacksmith: vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/ClaudeAdapterV2.test.ts passed all 349 tests. existing head CI is green. no source changes or pushes were needed.

before, main:

main incorrectly uses 1m and a 267000-token threshold

after, pr:

pr uses claude's reported 200k window and suppresses the invalid threshold

default-window neighbor:

second project keeps its 1m window and valid compaction threshold

session isolation:

original session remains at 200k after a 1m session runs

Not verified

native ios/android and electron shells were not exercised on this linux vm. i did not fill a conversation to the hard context limit or trigger automatic compaction. custom gateway models and a process replacement that changes project settings were not exercised through a real provider. the discussed one-turn stale-window limitation on process replacement remains outside this verification.
