Status line context percentage doesn't update after compacting or new chat
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Dec 17, 2025 by hamza5645 Closed Dec 20, 2025
Description
The context percentage displayed in the status line does not accurately reflect the current context usage after:
- Context compacting/summarization occurs
- Opening a new chat session
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a conversation and use enough context that the percentage increases
- Trigger compacting (or open a new chat)
- Observe the context percentage in the status line
Expected Behavior
The context percentage should reset or update to reflect the actual current context usage after compacting or starting a new chat.
Actual Behavior
The context percentage remains unchanged/stale, showing the pre-compacted value or previous session's value.
