Summary

This PR fixes the issue where context condensing was triggered even when the auto-condense setting was disabled. The problem occurred specifically in the overflow handler path when the context window was exceeded.

Problem

As detailed by @hannesrudolph in #7953:

  • When the model rejects a request for exceeding the context window, the overflow handler Task.handleContextWindowExceededError() was forcing summarization regardless of user settings
  • It was hard-coding autoCondenseContext: true and using FORCED_CONTEXT_REDUCTION_PERCENT (75%)
  • This caused unexpected "Context condensed" messages for users who had disabled auto-condensing

Solution

  • Updated Task.handleContextWindowExceededError() to respect the user's autoCondenseContext and autoCondenseContextPercent settings from state
  • The method now reads these values from the provider state instead of forcing them
  • When auto-condense is disabled, the system will fall back to non-summarizing sliding-window truncation only

Changes

  1. src/core/task/Task.ts

    • Modified handleContextWindowExceededError() to read autoCondenseContext and autoCondenseContextPercent from state
    • Updated logging to show actual settings being used
    • Removed forced condensation behavior
  2. src/core/task/tests/Task.handleContextWindowExceeded.spec.ts

    • Added comprehensive test suite for the new behavior
    • Tests verify that user settings are respected in various scenarios
    • Tests ensure proper fallback to defaults when state is undefined

Testing

  • ✅ All new tests pass
  • ✅ All existing sliding-window tests pass (no regression)
  • ✅ Linting and type checking pass

Impact

This change ensures that users who have disabled auto-condensing will no longer see unexpected summarization when their context window is exceeded. The system will respect their preference and use simple truncation instead.

Fixes #7953


Important

Fixes Task.handleContextWindowExceededError() to respect user settings for auto-condensing, with tests verifying the behavior.

  • Behavior:
    • Task.handleContextWindowExceededError() now respects autoCondenseContext and autoCondenseContextPercent settings from state.
    • Falls back to sliding-window truncation when auto-condense is disabled.
  • Testing:
    • Added tests in Task.handleContextWindowExceeded.spec.ts to verify behavior with different autoCondenseContext settings.
    • Tests ensure proper fallback to defaults when state is undefined.
  • Misc:
    • Updated logging in Task.ts to reflect actual settings used.

- Update Task.handleContextWindowExceededError() to read user settings from state
- No longer force autoCondenseContext=true when context window is exceeded
- Use user's configured autoCondenseContextPercent instead of FORCED_CONTEXT_REDUCTION_PERCENT
- Add comprehensive tests for the new behavior

Fixes #7953

Reviewing my own code is like debugging in a mirror - everything looks backwards but the bugs are still mine.

private async handleContextWindowExceededError(): Promise<void> {
const state = await this.providerRef.deref()?.getState()
const { profileThresholds = {} } = state ?? {}
const { profileThresholds = {}, autoCondenseContext = true, autoCondenseContextPercent = 100 } = state ?? {}

Nice fix! The implementation correctly addresses the issue by reading autoCondenseContext and autoCondenseContextPercent from state instead of forcing them.

`[Task#${this.taskId}] Context window exceeded for model ${this.api.getModel().id}. ` +
`Current tokens: ${contextTokens}, Context window: ${contextWindow}. ` +
`Forcing truncation to ${FORCED_CONTEXT_REDUCTION_PERCENT}% of current context.`,
`Auto-condense: ${autoCondenseContext}, Threshold: ${autoCondenseContextPercent}%.`,

Good update to the log message - it now accurately reflects what's happening instead of claiming to force truncation.

Excellent test coverage! The tests comprehensively verify the new behavior with different scenarios including disabled auto-condense, enabled auto-condense, undefined state, and edge cases.
