What's Wrong?

Any time I rewind history or use /compact, the summary of the conversation (as shown when trying to /resume it) becomes, verbatim: "This session is being continued from a previo…".

What Should Happen?

The summary should contain any useful description of what the conversation was about, rather than identical boilerplate which is the same for 90% of my convos.

Additional Information

This issue was mentioned in passing in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6452, but I wanted to make a more specific bug report about the identical compacted-conversation messages in particular.

Similarly, https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/2112 would be a workaround for this bug -- but it would be ideal if the summarization could do something sensible automatically, so I consider this a distinct issue.
