Title: Context repeatedly exhausts to ~10% after auto-compact in v2.0.25
Description:
Since Claude Code v2.0.25, auto-compact mechanism appears broken - after each auto-compact, only ~10% of context remains available, making continued work impossible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Start any session with normal work
- Let it run until auto-compact triggers
- After resume, observe context already at ~90% used
- Continue work briefly until next auto-compact
- Pattern repeats cyclically
Expected: Auto-compact should free up significant context (60-80% available)
Actual: Only ~10% context available after compact, session becomes unusable
Workaround attempts:
- Restarting session sometimes helps temporarily
- Problem often recurs after very first auto-compact in new session
Impact: Makes any extended work session impossible in v2.0.25
Regression: This worked correctly in pre-v2.0.25 versions
Environment:
- Claude Code v2.0.25
- Occurs consistently across different project types
- Not related to specific file types or operations
