[Bug] Excessive token consumption in multi-turn conversations causing premature rate limit exhaustion

Bug Description
This conversation, starting with "I've fixed the compilation errors. Continue with the implementation." used up 68% of my 5-hr "Pro" usage. This problem has been going on since Dec 30. I do not have time to continue documenting this for you guys. I've gotten one response, 5 days ago, saying "This is a known issue". That's it. At this point, I am looking at other coding tool solutions. Augment looks like a pretty good alternative. Claude is essentially useless if I can only give it 3 prompts in a 12-hour period. Before Dec 30th, a similar conversation would consume 12-15% of my usage.

The architecture consists of a Kotlin/JS frontend using Fritz2 framework with Tailwind CSS, and a Kotlin/JVM backend using Ktor 3.0.x. The application integrates with Supabase for authentication and PostgreSQL database storage. Development follows strict guidelines including the \"FAIL FAST, FAIL HARD\" principle which mandates throwing exceptions rather than implementing fallback code. Critical restrictions include never using Map<String, Any> type collections in server code due to Ktor serialization limitations, and never modifying configuration files in server/config/ that contain irreversible secret keys. The project supports both development (localhost) and production (Digital Ocean) environments with corresponding Supabase projects. Development tools include MCP claude-context for semantic search and ripgrep for code searching. The app runs in a hot-restart environment managed by the developer.\^[[0m\n    \^[[2m(~528t)\^[[0m \^[[2m(🔍 2,496t)\^[[0m\n\n  \^[[2m#352\^[[0m            🔵  \^[[1mprocessAndStoreSession() Method Usage Across Codebase\^[[0m\n    \^[[2mThe processAndStoreSession() method is defined in the LoginUser.kt file within the commonMain source set, making it available to both JS and JVM platforms. The method signature is \"suspend fun processAndStoreSession(): ServerLoginResponse\" and is part of the SessionManagementService. The function is invoked across multiple parts of the application including routing logic, HTTP session handling, Stripe pricing page interactions, and internal authentication workflows. A key inconsistency exists in how the method is called: HttpSession.kt calls it as a static method (SessionManagementService.processAndStoreSession()) while other files instantiate the service first (SessionManagementService().processAndStoreSession()). This discrepancy at line 177 of HttpSession.kt is likely the source of the \"unresolved\" error mentioned in the user's question.\^[[0m\n    \^[[2m(~383t)\^[[0m \^[[2m(🔍 1,27
