What's Wrong?

When Claude Code runs out of context mid-task, it silently compresses the conversation and stops editing. This can leave files partially modified — for example, a TypeScript interface updated but the JSX still referencing the old props — resulting in compile errors and a broken dev server.

There's no summary of what was completed, what changed, or what still needs to be done. The user is left with broken code and no way to know what state they're in without manually diffing every touched file.

What Should Happen?

At minimum:
(1) don't compress mid-edit — finish the current tool call sequence first,
(2) print a summary of all files changed and remaining work before compacting,
(3) if the build is broken at compression time, at least say so explicitly and why.

Additional Information

I am ok with higher paid usage but sometimes just it just stopping leaves me in a place where it is difficult to really continue working.
