Add toggle to hide 'context left until auto-compact' warning
Feature Request
Add a configuration option to hide or disable the "context left until auto-compact" warning message that appears in the UI.
Use Case
During long interactive sessions (e.g., visual graph exploration with frequent screenshots and tool calls), the auto-compact warning becomes distracting. Users who understand context compaction and are comfortable with it don't need the persistent reminder.
Proposed Solution
A toggle in settings or .claude/settings.json such as:
{
"ui": {
"showCompactionWarning": false
}
}
Or a CLI flag: claude --hide-compact-warning
Current Behavior
The warning appears automatically as context fills up. There is no way to dismiss or disable it.
Desired Behavior
Users can opt out of the warning via settings, while keeping it enabled by default for new users who may not understand context compaction.
