The box says its context is 128K while holding 900K (TASK-393 follow-up) - #393
Conversation
It had just answered a 902,116-token prompt. Nothing in the session told it what window it was running in, so it answered from its own weights, which were trained before this window existed. A customer asking that question gets a number eight times too small, in the confident voice of the product. CLAWBOX.md now states the window, the output cap and the text-only modality, and tells the agent not to substitute its own memory of an older DeepSeek. Because CLAWBOX.md is seeded only when absent, boxes already in the field would never have seen a template change — the section is appended to an existing guide instead, marker-guarded so a second gateway start is a no-op and the owner's own edits stay put. The numbers are asserted against the ones the provider migration writes, in the same script. Two copies of one fact with only one of them maintained is how the picker came to claim 128K in the first place. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

🦀 ClawReviewYour friendly reef crab, here with the lay of the land. Fixes a live customer-facing issue where the AI model confidently states its context window is 128K — a number baked into its training weights — when the actual ClawBox-configured window is 1,000,000 tokens. A new marker-guarded section in the workspace guide tells the model the real limits (1M context, 393,216-token output cap, text-only input) and explains why its own cold guess is wrong. Because CLAWBOX.md is seeded only on first boot, the pre-start script now appends this section to guides already on devices in the field, idempotently. At a glance

CodeRabbit caught that the text appended to an existing CLAWBOX.md was a shortened version of the one seeded into a fresh guide: an upgraded box lost the hardware-verified figure and the note about not compacting early. Two copies of one fact, only one of them maintained — the exact shape of the bug this branch exists to fix. So the script no longer holds a copy. It extracts the marked section out of the shipped template at run time, which makes the two identical by construction rather than by discipline. The template gained a closing marker to delimit it, and if the markers ever move the script appends nothing and warns, because a truncated section is a new way to be wrong while silence is only the state we started from. Tests assert the appended text contains the template section verbatim, and cover the moved-marker and missing-template paths. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Second CodeRabbit finding, also right. The extractor printed each line as it passed the opening marker and stopped at the closing one, so a template that opened the section and never closed it printed to end of file — unrelated sections landing in the customer's guide, with a success exit code to hide it. It now buffers and emits only once both markers have been seen. A dangling opening marker, or a closing marker with no opening one, produces nothing, which falls through to the existing warn-and-leave- alone path.

Follow-up to #391 / #392.
Observed on hardware on 18.08, box 192.168.50.66: minutes after answering a 902,116-token prompt, the chat app was asked what model it was and what context window it had. It replied:
Checked before assuming: there is no live
128000anywhere on the device, and the system prompt says nothing about context size. The model is answering from its own weights, which predate this window. A customer asking the obvious question gets a number eight times too small, stated confidently, by the product.Changes
config/clawbox-workspace-guide.md— new marker-guarded section stating the real window (1,000,000), output cap (393,216) and text-only modality, plus why the model's own guess is wrong.scripts/gateway-pre-start.sh— appends that section to an existingCLAWBOX.md. Seeding is seed-if-missing by design (owners personalise the file), so a template change alone would never reach a box already in the field. The append is guarded by theclawbox:ai-model-limitsmarker: second gateway start is a no-op, owner edits untouched, and it will not create the file where none exists.The section also tells the agent two things that follow from a 1M window: it rarely needs to compact early, and it should keep the prefix stable because upstream caches on it.
Tests
New
src/tests/unit/gateway-pre-start-clawbox-md.test.ts, 7 cases, running the append block extracted verbatim from the shipped .sh so the test fails if the script drifts: appends to an older guide · preserves owner content · idempotent (marker appears exactly once) · does not create a missing file · states the 128K warning · asserts the numbers match the ones the provider migration writes in the same script · asserts the shipped template carries the same section so fresh boxes match upgraded ones.Full suite green locally: 203 files / 2585 tests.
