feat(protected): exclude read/bash from recent-zone - #35
Merged
Conversation
read (file/image contents) and bash (build/test/log output) are the largest common sources of tool-result context bloat. When such results land in the preserveRecentMessages last-N window they become un-compressible — the model cannot reclaim that context, and they never appear in compressible-ranges recommendations. Add read/bash to NEVER_PRESERVE_RECENT_TOOLS (alongside decompress and search_context). They remain fully visible and compressible like any ordinary message — this only removes them from the soft-protected recent zone, so the protected window covers actual conversation turns (user intent, assistant reasoning, tool dispatch decisions) instead of being filled by spent file/command output.
