Additional Context

This is just getting worse with each new model its a ridiculous waste of tokens, then even when it gets back to work it goes off on a destructive and incorrect path 90% of the time, waste of money completely. Plus the process of compacting seems to take forever, i thought these were supposed to be getting better, opus 4.5 was MUCH better
