Auto-compact circuit breaker prevents compaction on Haiku (v2.1.65+)
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 5, 2026 by WhoReallyKnowsAnything Closed Jul 12, 2026
Issue
Auto-compact not triggering on Haiku, allowing context to reach 90%+ without attempting compaction.
Environment
- Model: Haiku 4.5
- Version: v2.1.65
- OS: macOS
Behavior
- Earlier session today: auto-compact worked correctly
- New session opened 40m ago: auto-compact never triggered
- Context reached 90%+ threshold (autoCompactThreshold set to 0.8)
- Never attempted any compaction in this session
- Manual
/compactworks as expected
Root Cause
Likely circuit breaker issue (v2.1.116+) stopping after 3 failed auto-compact attempts. gsd-context-monitor.js warns about regression since v2.1.62.
Workaround
Manual /compact command restores compaction ability.
