What's Wrong?

I had 14 agents working simultaneously to identify and resolve issues in my project. However, after completing 6-7 tasks, the remaining agents started giving a "prompt is too long" error while tracking their task outputs. The process was halted, and I couldn't continue the conversation.

The issues I was having resolved weren't major problems.

What Should Happen?

When tasks are processing, at least when we tell them to continue, instead of using "too long," they should use "compact" and continue.
