What's Wrong?

After doing a compact context, the agent begins all the work from the start again instead of picking up where we left off.
It then starts to repeat mistakes I have already told it etc.
Basically it forgets everything and I have to bootstrap the session to get it to work again.

What Should Happen?

should carry on where we left off
