What's Wrong?

During the claude running sessions, claude initiates the compaction and after the compaction, the entire terminal is reset and then we cannot scroll up and check what all we discussed in the session, which all files were modified. Basically all history of the conversation is lost.

What Should Happen?

The terminal should not reset on compaction and we should be able to see the history of the commands and conversation.

Error Messages/Logs

On compaction, my terminal is reset and all my history of commands is lost and i see the claude symbol and none of my previous conversation/commands.

Steps to Reproduce

Just keep on interacting with claude and once the terminal is reset check if all the context and conversation and the details of changes done, files updated etc are lost.
