Fixed a bug where the context token indicator would flicker to 0% when a new API request started. The issue occurred because the loop would break on placeholder messages without valid token data instead of continuing to search for the last complete message with token data. Affected: packages/core/src/message-utils/consolidateTokenUsage.ts

Summary
Fixed a bug where the context token indicator would flicker to 0% when a new API request started.
The Bug
The loop in
consolidateTokenUsage.tswas breaking on placeholder messages (messages without token data) instead of continuing to search for the last complete message with valid token data.The Fix
Moved the
breakstatement inside theif (hasTokenData)block so the loop only breaks when valid token data is found. If a placeholder is encountered, it now continues to check previous messages.Files Changed
