Session wedged over the 1M window: repeated 400 prompt-too-long despite auto-compaction (v1.58.0)

ソースファイルやテストは指定されていません。提供された長時間セッションの手順で、連続する3回の400失敗を再現し、その後、自動コンパクションとリトライの経路を追跡します。完了条件は、サイズ超過のリクエストがコンパクションされるか、その他の方法で縮小され、リトライ後もセッションが行き詰まったままにならないことです。

Summary

A long, tool-heavy session is stuck: every request fails with 400 This model's maximum context length is 1048576 tokens ... requested 1057726 (993726 in the messages, 64000 in the completion). The transcript only exceeds the window once the fixed 64k completion budget is added. Each continue retry appends the error text to the transcript, so the request grows ~+2.2k tokens per attempt and can never fit. Auto-compaction has already run twice and then reports "Conversation is already compact.", so the documented "prompt too long" recovery never clears the session.

Expected Behavior

Per docs (Context & Compaction): a too-long request is classified, the window is compacted on the spot, and the request is retried once - only a second consecutive failure surfaces. Auto-compaction Tier 3 should also fire at >= 90% of the window.

Actual Behavior

The 400 surfaces on every attempt (3 in a row). Compaction meta: count=2, tokensSaved=646529 total (last pass only 29011). After that, continue reports "Conversation is already compact." and the next request still overflows. The session is unusable without /rewind or /clear.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Run a long, tool-heavy session on a 1M-window model with the transcript near the window.
2. Let auto-compaction run (or force it), then keep the session growing.
3. Type continue - every request fails with the 400 above.

Fix prompt (optional)

If a compaction pass reclaims too little and the next request still overflows, escalate instead of backing off: force a tool-call trim (keep last 10) regardless of compact mode, or retry once with a reduced completion budget so the request can fit under the window.
