Claude performs the task perfectly and produces the expected results - then begins a auto-compact. After the compact Claude then immediately begins executing his plan.

This happened late last night and I was like WTF Claude? It just happened again and I realized that both times it was following the auto-compact.

Additional Information

This is particularly insidious because while I'm at the top of his response reading this very long report, he's down below doing what he feels like. LOL. Seriously - I'll probably take his suggestion anyway, but it's a bit shocking when it happens.
