[Bug] Compact/resume replays stale slash-command ARGUMENTS as current turn
Bug Description
Compact/resume re-injects stale slash command ARGUMENTS as current turn
After a session is compacted and resumed, the system-reminder block for
the most recently invoked slash command is replayed with its ARGUMENTS
field intact. The assistant mistakes this replayed ARGUMENTS for a fresh
user request and acts on it.
Reproduction:
- Invoke a slash command with args:
/my-skill <query text> - Continue the session past the auto-compact threshold
- Resume the same session later
Expected: After resume, the next turn starts clean — only the new user
message should drive assistant behavior.
Actual: The skill's system-reminder block is re-injected with the old
ARGUMENTS attached. The assistant treats the stale ARGUMENTS as a new
instruction and executes it (in my case: ran a production DB query the
user did not ask for in the current turn).
Evidence from session jsonl:
- A
{"type":"last-prompt","lastPrompt":"/my-skill ..."}entry
persists across compact.
- On resume, the skill block contains
ARGUMENTS: <old text>sourced
from that last-prompt cache — even though the user's current message
is unrelated.
Impact:
- Safety issue — assistant can execute unintended actions (DB queries,
writes, external API calls) based on stale ARGUMENTS.
- Trust issue — looks to the user like the assistant is acting on its
own / hallucinating a task.
