+# Auto-Compaction Threshold Redesign
+
+**Status:** Draft · 2026-05-14
+
+## 背景
+
+当前 qwen-code 的自动压缩仅使用单一比例阈值 `COMPRESSION_TOKEN_THRESHOLD = 0.7`（`chatCompressionService.ts:33`），所有窗口大小共用同一比例。对比 claude-code 的「绝对 token 梯子」（autoCompact.ts:62-65），qwen-code 存在三个具体问题：
+
+1. **大窗口下预留过多**：1M 模型 70% 阈值在 700K 触发，剩余 300K 远超摘要 + 输出实际所需的 ~33K
+2. **失败 1 次永久锁**：`hasFailedCompressionAttempt = true` 之后整个 session 不再尝试 auto-compact（geminiChat.ts:504），比 claude-code 的「连续 3 次熔断」更严苛
+3. **tip 系统与 auto 阈值脱钩**：`tipRegistry.ts` 里的三条 `context-*` tip 使用固定的 50/80/95 百分比，与 auto-compact 阈值（70%）完全独立。这意味着在「auto 正常工作」的主路径上 80% / 95% tip 极少触发，而在「auto 失败 / 反应式兜底」的边缘路径上又缺乏与阈值对齐的语义
+4. **压缩调用本身没有输出预算控制**：[chatCompressionService.ts:374-376](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:374) 显式开启 `thinkingConfig.includeThoughts = true`（注释：「Compression quality drives every subsequent main turn」），同时 sideQuery 调用未设 `maxOutputTokens` 上限。代码注释（[:436-437](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:436)）也承认 `compressionOutputTokenCount may include non-persisted tokens (thoughts)`。在压缩接近窗口顶时，总输出可能膨胀，使 buffer 预留缺乏可预测上限。
更糟糕的是跨 provider 行为不一致：Anthropic 的 thinking budget 与 max_tokens 完全独立；OpenAI 的 reasoning tokens 不受 max_completion_tokens 限制；Gemini 的行为又因模型版本而异。这意味着「单靠加 maxOutputTokens 就能控制总输出」在 qwen-code 这种多 provider 项目里不成立
+
+5. **阈值判断使用的 `lastPromptTokenCount` 系统性下偏。** [geminiChat.ts:1217-1232](packages/core/src/core/geminiChat.ts:1217) 表明这个数来自上一轮 API response 的 `usageMetadata.totalTokenCount`。两个 gap：(a) 不包含本轮即将加入的 user message，每次 cheap-gate 判断都比真实 prompt 小一段；(b) 首轮初始值是 0，`--continue` 恢复巨大 session / sub-agent 继承大量历史时第一次 send 永远绕过所有阈值。对比 claude-code 的 `tokenCountWithEstimation`（[query.ts:638](src/query.ts:638)）走「最后一条 assistant API usage + 之后新增 message 估算」的双轨制能闭合这两个 gap
+
+## 设计目标
+
+- 引入「比例 + 绝对」混合阈值，让大窗口模型由绝对值接管，小窗口仍走比例兜底
+- 新增 warn / hard 两层（auto 保留为主触发点），形成三层梯子
+- 把 tip 系统重写为跟随新阈值的触发条件
+- 失败处理从「1 次永久锁」升级为「3 次熔断 + 自动恢复」
+- **压缩调用关闭 thinking 并加 `maxOutputTokens` 上限**：与 claude-code 对齐，让总输出受单一参数约束、buffer 预算可预测；接受压缩质量可能下降的代价
+- **加 token 估算补偿**：消除 `lastPromptTokenCount` 的「滞后一轮」和「首轮为 0」两个系统性下偏，让阈值判断更贴近真实 prompt 大小
+- 删除 settings 里的 `contextPercentageThreshold` 配置入口（内部 PCT 常量保留）
+- **不引入** env 覆盖通道、**不**新增显式 enabled 开关
+
+## 三层阈值梯子
+
+```
+ window (raw context window)
+ │
+ │ ← SUMMARY_RESERVE = 20K
+ ▼
+ effectiveWindow
+ │
+ │ ← HARD_BUFFER = 3K
+ ▼
+ hard_threshold = effectiveWindow - 3K
+ │
+ │ ← (AUTOCOMPACT_BUFFER - HARD_BUFFER) = 10K
+ ▼
+auto_threshold = max(PCT * window, effectiveWindow - AUTOCOMPACT_BUFFER)
+ │
+ │ ← WARN_BUFFER = 20K
+ ▼
+warn_threshold = max((PCT - WARN_OFFSET) * window, auto_threshold - WARN_BUFFER)
+ │
+ ▼
+ 0
+```
+
+### 三层语义
+
+| 层 | 触发条件 | 行为 |
+| -------- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **warn** | `tokenCount >= warn_threshold` | UI 提示「距自动压缩还剩 X tokens」，不改变 send 行为 |
+| **auto** | `tokenCount >= auto_threshold` | 在 send 前 `tryCompress(force=false)`，正常压缩流程 |
+| **hard** | `tokenCount >= hard_threshold` | 在 send 前 `tryCompress(force=true)`，重置失败锁强制压缩 |
+
+`hard` 层等同于把现有 reactive overflow（geminiChat.ts:711）的兜底逻辑提前到 send 前，避免一次失败的 oversized request round-trip。
+
+## 内部常量
+
+```ts
+// chatCompressionService.ts
+const DEFAULT_PCT = 0.7; // auto 比例兜底
+const WARN_PCT_OFFSET = 0.1; // warn 比例 = PCT - WARN_OFFSET = 0.6
+const COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS = 20_000; // 压缩 sideQuery 输出硬上限（thinking + summary 合计）
+const SUMMARY_RESERVE = 20_000; // 阈值梯子从窗口顶减去的输出预留 = maxOutput
+const AUTOCOMPACT_BUFFER = 13_000; // auto 与 effectiveWindow 间距
+const WARN_BUFFER = 20_000; // warn 与 auto 间距
+const HARD_BUFFER = 3_000; // hard 与 effectiveWindow 间距
+const MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES = 3; // 失败熔断阈值
+```
+
+数值来源：全部沿用 claude-code 的实测值（[autoCompact.ts:30,62-65](src/services/compact/autoCompact.ts:30)）。
+
+`SUMMARY_RESERVE = COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` 是关键关系：模型受 `maxOutputTokens` 硬限制约束，输出不可能超出 20K，因此 reserve 不需要额外 safety margin。`thinking + summary` 是合并预算（Gemini SDK / 多数 provider 的 `maxOutputTokens` 语义），模型自行在两者间分配。
+
+## 计算函数
+
+```ts
+export interface CompactionThresholds {
+ warn: number;
+ auto: number;
+ hard: number; // 当 hard < auto 时等于 auto（小窗口退化）
+ effectiveWindow: number;
+}
+
+export function computeThresholds(window: number): CompactionThresholds {
+ const effectiveWindow = window - SUMMARY_RESERVE;
+
+ const absAuto = effectiveWindow - AUTOCOMPACT_BUFFER;
+ const auto = Math.max(DEFAULT_PCT * window, absAuto);
+
+ const absWarn = auto - WARN_BUFFER;
+ const warn = Math.max((DEFAULT_PCT - WARN_PCT_OFFSET) * window, absWarn);
+
+ const rawHard = effectiveWindow - HARD_BUFFER;
+ const hard = Math.max(rawHard, auto); // 小窗口下退化为 auto
+
+ return { warn, auto, hard, effectiveWindow };
+}
+```
+
+### 实测数据
+
+| 窗口 | warn | auto | hard | 备注 |
+| ---- | ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| 32K | 19.2K (pct) | 22.4K (pct) | 22.4K (退化) | 比例兜底 |
+| 64K | 38.4K (pct) | 44.8K (pct) | 44.8K (退化) | 比例兜底 |
+| 128K | 76.8K (pct) | 95K (abs) | 105K (abs) | 混合（warn=pct, auto/hard=abs） |
+| 200K | 147K (abs) | 167K (abs) | 177K (abs) | 绝对接管 |
+| 256K | 203K (abs) | 223K (abs) | 233K (abs) | 绝对接管 |
+| 1M | 947K (abs) | 967K (abs) | 977K (abs) | 全绝对 |
+
+`(pct)` 表示该层由比例公式决定，`(abs)` 表示由绝对值公式决定。
+
+## 用户配置
+
+### ChatCompressionSettings 变更
+
+```ts
+// packages/core/src/config/config.ts:217
+export interface ChatCompressionSettings {
+ /** 保留（与本设计无关，由 compactionInputSlimming 使用） */
+ imageTokenEstimate?: number;
+}
+```
+
+**删除：** `contextPercentageThreshold` 字段。理由：
+
+1. 新公式下，对主流窗口（>= 128K）该字段几乎无影响——绝对值接管
+2. 小窗口下用户配置反而可能让阈值"更早"压缩，与节省 token 直觉相反
+3. claude-code 没有暴露此字段，无类似的用户面配置先例
+
+### Breaking change 处理
+
+**用户面：** 启动时 `Config` 加载发现 `chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold` 存在：
+
+- 写入 stderr 一行警告：`"chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold has been removed and is now controlled by built-in thresholds."`
+- **不**报错、**不**阻塞启动
+- 字段值被忽略
+
+**SDK 面（R5.4）：** `CompressOptions` 的 `hasFailedCompressionAttempt: boolean` 字段重命名为 `consecutiveFailures: number`。两点差异：
+
+| | 旧字段 | 新字段 |
+| ---- | ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| 名称 | `hasFailedCompressionAttempt` | `consecutiveFailures` |
+| 类型 | `boolean` | `number` |
+| 语义 | `true` = 永久禁用 auto-compact | `>= MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES`（默认 3）= 暂时禁用直到 force 成功重置 |
+
+仓库内只有 `GeminiChat.tryCompress` 一个内部消费方，所以内部 migration 风险低；但 `@qwen-code/qwen-code-core` 是 published package、`CompressOptions` 在 d.ts 里可见，下游 SDK 直接调 `service.compress({ ..., hasFailedCompressionAttempt: true })` 的代码会拿到 TS 编译错误。**迁移指引：** 把 `true` 改为 `MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES`（或任意 >= 3 的整数），`false` 改为 `0`。如果调用方维护自己的失败计数，直接传入即可。
+
+## Token 估算补偿
+
+qwen-code 的 `lastPromptTokenCount` 来自上一轮 API response 的 `usageMetadata.totalTokenCount`（[geminiChat.ts:1217-1232](packages/core/src/core/geminiChat.ts:1217)）。这导致：
+
+1. **滞后一轮**：cheap-gate 用 `lastPromptTokenCount` 判断，但本次 send 实际 prompt = 它 + 本轮 user message。少算的部分可能让阈值判断 false-negative
+2. **首轮为 0**：初始值是 0，第一次 send 时无论历史多大都不会触发任何阈值（含 `--continue` 恢复 / sub-agent 继承场景）
+
+引入轻量本地估算函数 `estimatePromptTokens`，在 send 前 cheap-gate / hard 判断时补足这两段缺失：
+
+```ts
+// chatCompressionService.ts（或新文件 packages/core/src/services/tokenEstimation.ts）
+
+const BYTES_PER_TOKEN = 4; // 通用 char/4 估算（claude-code 同此）
+const BYTES_PER_TOKEN_JSON = 2; // JSON / tool_call input 更密集
+
+/**
+ * 估算一组 Content 的 token 数，用于补偿 API usage metadata 的滞后。
+ * 对 image / document 复用现有 imageTokenEstimate（默认 1600）。
+ */
+export function estimateContentTokens(
+ contents: Content[],
+ imageTokenEstimate = DEFAULT_IMAGE_TOKEN_ESTIMATE,
+): number {
+ // 复用 estimateContentChars（compactionInputSlimming.ts），再除以 bytesPerToken
+ // 内部对 functionCall / functionResponse 用 BYTES_PER_TOKEN_JSON
+ // ...
+}
+
+/**
+ * cheap-gate 与 hard 判断的统一入口。
+ * 主路径：lastPromptTokenCount 准 + 本轮 user message 估算
+ * 首轮路径：full history 估算
+ */
+export function estimatePromptTokens(
+ history: Content[],
+ userMessage: Content,
+ lastPromptTokenCount: number,
+): number {
+ if (lastPromptTokenCount > 0) {
+ return lastPromptTokenCount + estimateContentTokens([userMessage]);
+ }
+ return estimateContentTokens([...history, userMessage]);
+}
+```
+
+应用位置：
+
+- `chatCompressionService.compress()` 的 cheap-gate：把 `originalTokenCount` 来源换成 `estimatePromptTokens(history, userMessage, lastPromptTokenCount)`
+- `geminiChat.sendMessageStream` 入口的 hard 判断（见下一节）
+
+**估算只用于提前触发，不用于「跳过触发」。** 因为 char/4 是粗略下界估计，作为 false-positive 一侧是安全的（宁可早一点压），作为 false-negative 则不可靠。
+
+## 触发链路改动
+
+### chatCompressionService.ts
+
+1. **导出 `computeThresholds`**，供 cheap-gate / UI / 命令复用
+2. **`compress()` cheap-gate** (line 221-249)：
+ ```ts
+ if (consecutiveFailures >= MAX_CONSECUTIVE_FAILURES && !force) {
+ return NOOP;
+ }
+ const { auto } = computeThresholds(contextLimit);
+ const effectiveTokens = estimatePromptTokens(
+ curatedHistory,
+ userMessage,
+ originalTokenCount,
+ );
+ if (!force && effectiveTokens < auto) return NOOP;
+ ```
+3. **`compress()` 的 runSideQuery 调用** (line 356-380)：关闭 thinking + 加 `maxOutputTokens`：
+
+ ```ts
+ const summaryResult = await runSideQuery(config, {
+ // ...
+ config: {
+ thinkingConfig: { includeThoughts: false }, // 关闭 thinking（与 claude-code 一致）
+ maxOutputTokens: COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS, // 硬上限 20K
+ },
+ // ...
+ });
+ ```
+
+ 或者直接删掉 `thinkingConfig` 让 `runSideQuery` 默认值（[sideQuery.ts:118](packages/core/src/utils/sideQuery.ts:118) 默认 `includeThoughts: false`）接管。
+
+ 关 thinking 后，`maxOutputTokens` 直接约束总输出（不存在 thinking 单独 budget 的问题），`SUMMARY_RESERVE = maxOutput = 20K` 是干净的硬关系。
+
+ 同时更新 [chatCompressionService.ts:374-376](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:374) 的注释，从「Compression quality drives every subsequent main turn — keep reasoning on」改为说明「为保证跨 provider 可预测的输出上限，与 claude-code 设计对齐」。
+
+ token math 一段（[:436-437](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:436)）的 "may include non-persisted tokens (thoughts)" 注释也可以同步清理
+
+### geminiChat.ts: `sendMessageStream` 入口（line 562）
+
+```ts
+// 替换前：tryCompress(force=false)
+// 替换后：用估算 token 判断是否触发 hard，决定 force 标志
+
+const { hard } = computeThresholds(contextLimit);
+const effectiveTokens = estimatePromptTokens(
+ this.getHistory(true),
+ createUserContent(params.message),
+ this.lastPromptTokenCount,
+);
+const shouldForceFromHard = effectiveTokens >= hard;
+
+if (shouldForceFromHard) {
+ // 重置熔断器，等同 force compress
+ this.consecutiveFailures = 0;
+}
+
+compressionInfo = await this.tryCompress(
+ prompt_id,
+ model,
+ shouldForceFromHard,
+ params.config?.abortSignal,
+);
+```
+
+### 失败处理升级 (`geminiChat.ts:504-510`)
+
+```ts
+// 替换前
+hasFailedCompressionAttempt: boolean;
+
+// 替换后
+consecutiveFailures: number; // 默认 0
+
+// 失败分支
+} else if (isCompressionFailureStatus(info.compressionStatus)) {
+ if (!force) {
+ this.consecutiveFailures += 1;
+ }
+}
+
+// 成功分支
+this.consecutiveFailures = 0;
+```
+
+`force=true` 调用失败不计入计数（保持现有 reactive / manual 不"占额"的语义）。
+
+## UI 改动
+
+### tipRegistry.ts 重写三条 context-\* tip
+
+三层阈值正好与三条 tip 一一对应。映射关系（按 token 数从低到高）：
+
+| Tip ID | 当前条件 | 新条件 | 文案变化 |
+| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `compress-intro` | `pct >= 50 && < 80 && sessionPromptCount > 5` | `tokenCount >= warn && tokenCount < auto && sessionPromptCount > 5` | 保持不变 |
+| `context-high` | `pct >= 80 && < 95` | `tokenCount >= auto && tokenCount < hard` | 保持不变 |
+| `context-critical` | `pct >= 95` | `tokenCount >= hard` | 加一句「Auto-compact will force on next send.」反映新 hard 层行为 |
+
+**对触发频率的影响：**
+
+- 主路径（auto 正常工作）：`tokenCount` 跨越 auto 后立即触发压缩，下一轮 tokenCount 回落，所以 `context-high` 仅在「触发到压缩生效之间」短暂可见
+- 边缘路径（auto 失败 / 熔断 / reactive 来不及）：`tokenCount` 持续上涨，会依次穿过 warn → auto → hard 触发三条 tip，跟用户视角的"上下文越来越紧"一致
+- `context-critical` 触发时 hard 层已经在 send 前 force compress（spec 触发链路改动一节），所以这条 tip 实际上是「post-rescue 告知」而非「pre-rescue 警告」，文案补一句说明
+
+`TipContext` 接口增加：
+
+```ts
+export interface TipContext {
+ lastPromptTokenCount: number;
+ contextWindowSize: number;
+ sessionPromptCount: number;
+ sessionCount: number;
+ platform: string;
+ // 新增：让 isRelevant 函数能拿到阈值。
+ // computeThresholds 在调用方算好后注入，避免 tipRegistry 直接依赖 core。
+ thresholds?: CompactionThresholds;
+}
+```
+
+`AppContainer.tsx:1150` 构造 `TipContext` 时同步注入。
+
+### /context 命令同步 (`contextCommand.ts:177-183`)
+
+```ts
+// 替换硬编码 (1 - threshold) * contextWindowSize
+const { warn, auto, hard, effectiveWindow } =
+ computeThresholds(contextWindowSize);
+
+// 显示四行：
+// Effective window: 180K (window − 20K reserve)
+// Warn threshold: 147K (...)
+// Auto threshold: 167K ← 当前位置
+// Hard threshold: 177K
+// 标记当前 token count 落在哪个 tier
+```
+
+### Footer 持续提示（可选 follow-up）
+
+本 spec 不强制实现 footer 持续提示，理由：
+
+- 现有 tip 系统已经能在 history 里给出提示
+- Footer 持续提示需要改 ink 渲染、增加重绘频率
+- 可作为本 spec 后置 follow-up（独立 PR）
+
+如果后续要做，建议触发条件 `tokenCount >= warn && tokenCount < auto`，超过 auto 后隐藏（压缩已开始）。
+
+## 测试覆盖
+
+### 单元测试（chatCompressionService.test.ts）
+
+- `computeThresholds(32K)` → 比例兜底分支（warn/auto 均 pct，hard 退化）
+- `computeThresholds(128K)` → 混合分支（warn=pct，auto=abs，hard=abs）
+- `computeThresholds(200K)` → 绝对接管分支（warn/auto/hard 均 abs）
+- `computeThresholds(1M)` → 全绝对分支
+- `computeThresholds(window=10K)` → 极小窗口（绝对值全负），公式不崩
+- 三层阈值始终满足 `warn <= auto <= hard`
+- max() 公式在边界点（pct \* window == abs）稳定
+
+### 单元测试（tokenEstimation.test.ts）
+
+- `estimateContentTokens` 对纯文本 / json / functionCall / functionResponse / image / document 分别走对应 bytesPerToken
+- `estimatePromptTokens` 在 `lastPromptTokenCount > 0` 时走「主路径」，等于 0 时走「首轮路径」
+- 大 user message 在 cheap-gate 阶段被加上去后能跨越 auto 阈值
+- 估算与真实 API usage 的偏差在 ±30% 以内（用真实历史样本回归）
+
+### 集成测试（geminiChat.test.ts / chatCompressionService.test.ts）
+
+- 3 次连续失败后 cheap-gate NOOP；下一次 force 后恢复
+- 单次失败不再永久锁
+- 估算 token 跨越 hard 后 send 自动 force compress
+- 压缩 sideQuery 调用 `maxOutputTokens = COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` 正确透传到 `runSideQuery`，`thinkingConfig.includeThoughts` 为 `false`（或被 sideQuery 默认值接管）
+- **首轮覆盖**：构造一个 `lastPromptTokenCount = 0` 但 history 巨大的 chat（模拟 `--continue` 恢复），首次 send 时 auto 阈值能被估算路径触发
+
+### 兼容性测试
+
+- 设置 `contextPercentageThreshold = 0.5` 启动 → stderr 警告 + 字段被忽略，行为以内部 PCT 常量为准
+
+### Tip 系统测试（tipRegistry.test.ts）
+
+- 三条 context-\* tip 在跨越 warn/auto/hard 时正确触发，且区间不重叠
+- 主路径下 auto 阈值触发压缩后 `context-high` 不持续可见
+- 边缘路径（熔断 + token 继续涨）下三条 tip 依次触发
+- TipContext 缺 `thresholds` 时（fallback）行为合理
+
+## 实施分阶段
+
+| Phase | 内容 | 独立性 |
+| ----- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
+| 1 | 内部常量 + `computeThresholds` + cheap-gate 改动（不含估算补偿） | 可独立合并 |
+| 2 | 失败处理升级（1 → 3 熔断） | 可独立合并 |
+| 3 | hard 层 force compress 提前 | 依赖 P1 + P7 |
+| 4 | 配置面变更 + breaking change 警告 | 依赖 P1 |
+| 5 | UI（tip 重写 + /context） | 依赖 P1 |
+| 6 | 压缩 sideQuery 关 thinking + 加 `maxOutputTokens` 上限 | 独立可先于 P1 落地 |
+| 7 | Token 估算补偿（`estimateContentTokens` + `estimatePromptTokens`，应用到 cheap-gate / hard） | 独立可与 P1 并行 |
+
+每个 Phase 可独立 PR。建议合并顺序 **P6 → P7 → P1 → P2 → P4 → P3 → P5**：先给压缩调用打上 `maxOutputTokens` 上限（让 buffer 假设可信）；再加估算补偿（让 token 数判断更可靠）；再把阈值基础设施落地；再做失败熔断、配置面变更；最后才打开 hard 层主动救场（这时已有可靠的 token 数 + 熔断器）。每个 PR 都能独立验证、独立回滚。
+
+## 风险与注意事项
+
+1. **关 thinking 可能影响摘要质量。** 原作者注释 "Compression quality drives every subsequent main turn — keep reasoning on" 表达过对此的担忧。本 spec 的判断是「可预测的 token 上限」优先于「最大化质量」，但落地后需要观察 telemetry 里 `compression_input_token_count` / `compression_output_token_count` 的分布，以及主对话在压缩后的质量变化（用户反馈、`COMPRESSION_FAILED_*` 状态率）。如果质量下降明显，再考虑回退到 thinking 开启 + provider-specific thinkingBudget 控制。
+
+2. **`maxOutputTokens` 触顶可能导致 summary 被截断。** 关 thinking 后，20K 直接限制 summary 主体；claude-code 实测 p99.99 ≈ 17K，留 ~3K 安全冗余。但 qwen-code 的压缩 prompt 与 claude-code 不同，分布需要观测。建议在压缩失败分支（[chatCompressionService.ts:464-491](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:464)）追加「检测到 finish_reason = MAX_TOKENS」的 NOOP 路径，避免持久化半截 summary。
+
+3. **跨 provider 的 maxOutputTokens 映射差异。** OpenAI compat (dashscope) → `max_tokens`、Anthropic → `max_tokens`、Gemini SDK → `maxOutputTokens`。当前 qwen-code 已有这层映射（[contentGenerator.ts:94](packages/core/src/core/contentGenerator.ts:94) 等），需要在 P6 实现时验证 sideQuery 路径上 `maxOutputTokens` 字段确实贯穿到所有 provider 的请求体。
+
+4. **Token 估算是粗略下界，不应反向用作"跳过触发"的依据。** `char/4` 与各 provider 真实 tokenizer 偏差可能 ±30%。本 spec 只用估算来「让阈值更早触发」（false-positive 方向，宁可早压不可晚压）。所有「降低 token 计数 / 跳过压缩」的代码路径仍应使用 `lastPromptTokenCount`（API 权威值）。
+
+5. **估算函数与现有 `estimateContentChars` 的关系。** [compactionInputSlimming.ts](packages/core/src/services/compactionInputSlimming.ts) 已经有 `estimateContentChars`（用于压缩 split point 计算），新增的 `estimateContentTokens` 应复用它（除以 bytesPerToken）而非新写一套，避免两套估算口径出现分歧。
+
+## 不在本 spec 范围
+
+- Env 变量覆盖通道（D 方案）：维持「配置面最小」原则
+- Footer 常驻可视化：留作 follow-up
+- 摘要 prompt 改进、`MIN_COMPRESSION_FRACTION` 调整：与阈值设计正交
+
+## 开放问题（等 review）
+
+1. **breaking change 强度**：警告 + 忽略字段 vs 启动报错。当前选警告，需要确认对企业部署/团队配置是否够友好
+2. **小窗口（32K）下 hard 与 auto 退化为同一值**：用户视角是否需要在 `/context` 明示「该窗口下 hard 已退化」

+# Auto-Compaction Threshold Redesign Implementation Plan
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** 把 qwen-code 自动压缩的单层比例阈值（70%）升级为「比例 + 绝对」混合的三层阈值梯子（warn / auto / hard），同时给压缩调用本身打上 `maxOutputTokens` 上限、关闭 thinking、引入失败熔断、修复 `lastPromptTokenCount` 的滞后/首轮缺口、清理用户配置面。
+
+**Architecture:**
+
+- `chatCompressionService.ts` 新增 `computeThresholds(window)` 输出 `{ warn, auto, hard }`；cheap-gate 用 `auto`，`sendMessageStream` 入口加 hard 主动救场。
+- 新建 `tokenEstimation.ts` 提供本地 char/4 估算函数，补偿 `lastPromptTokenCount` 的「滞后一轮 + 首轮为 0」两个 gap。
+- 失败处理从 `hasFailedCompressionAttempt: boolean` 单次锁升级为 `consecutiveFailures: number` 三次熔断。
+- 压缩 sideQuery 调用关 thinking + 加 `maxOutputTokens: 20K`。
+- 删除 `chatCompression.contextPercentageThreshold` settings 字段，启动时遇旧配置 stderr 警告并忽略。
+- `tipRegistry.ts` 三条 context-\* tip 重写为跟随新阈值；`/context` 命令显示三层数值。
+
+**Tech Stack:** TypeScript, Vitest, `@google/genai`, 现有 `compactionInputSlimming` 估算工具。
+
+**合并顺序：** P6 → P7 → P1 → P2 → P4 → P3 → P5。每个 Task 都是单 PR 候选。

+
+### Task 1: 改 chatCompressionService 的 sideQuery 调用
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:374-376`
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+在 `chatCompressionService.test.ts` 顶部 import 部分增加 spy 入口，并在合适的 describe 内加测试。`runSideQuery` 已经是模块导出，可以 spyOn：
+
+```ts
+import * as sideQueryModule from '../utils/sideQuery.js';
+
+describe('ChatCompressionService.compress sideQuery config', () => {
+ it('passes maxOutputTokens=20_000 and includeThoughts=false to runSideQuery', async () => {
+ const spy = vi.spyOn(sideQueryModule, 'runSideQuery').mockResolvedValue({
+ text: 'summary',
+ usage: {
+ promptTokenCount: 1000,
+ candidatesTokenCount: 500,
+ totalTokenCount: 1500,
+ },
+ } as any);
+
+ const service = new ChatCompressionService();
+ await service.compress(makeFakeChat(), {
+ promptId: 'p',
+ force: true,
+ model: 'qwen-test',
+ config: makeFakeConfig({ contextWindowSize: 200_000 }),
+ hasFailedCompressionAttempt: false,
+ originalTokenCount: 180_000,
+ });
+
+ expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);
+ const callArg = spy.mock.calls[0]![1];
+ expect(callArg.config?.thinkingConfig?.includeThoughts).toBe(false);
+ expect(callArg.config?.maxOutputTokens).toBe(20_000);
+ });
+});
+```
+
+`makeFakeChat` / `makeFakeConfig` 复用现有测试 helper（如果文件里已有，直接用；没有就 inline 一个最小桩）。
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
+
+```bash
+npm test --workspace=packages/core -- --run packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.test.ts -t 'passes maxOutputTokens=20_000'
+```
+
+Expected: FAIL — 现在传入的是 `{ thinkingConfig: { includeThoughts: true } }`，且没有 `maxOutputTokens`。
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Implement — 修改 chatCompressionService.ts**
+
+替换 [chatCompressionService.ts:374-376](packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts:374) 整段 `config:`：
+
+```ts
+const summaryResult = await runSideQuery(config, {
+ purpose: 'chat-compression',
+ model,
+ maxAttempts: 1,
+ systemInstruction: getCompressionPrompt(),
+ contents: [
+ ...slim.slimmedHistory,
+ {
+ role: 'user',
+ parts: [
+ {
+ text: 'First, reason in your scratchpad. Then, generate the .',
+ },
+ ],
+ },
+ ],
+ // Compression output is bounded by maxOutputTokens to guarantee a predictable
+ // reserve across providers (see docs/design/auto-compaction-threshold-redesign.md).
+ // Thinking is disabled because per-provider thinking-budget semantics are
+ // inconsistent (Anthropic/OpenAI count it separately, Gemini varies by model).
+ config: {
+ thinkingConfig: { includeThoughts: false },
+ maxOutputTokens: COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS,
+ },
+ abortSignal: signal ?? new AbortController().signal,
+ promptId,
+});
+```
+
+在文件顶部常量区（紧跟 `TOOL_ROUND_RETAIN_COUNT` 之后）加：
+
+```ts
+/**
+ * Hard cap on the compression sideQuery output (summary text only, since
+ * thinking is disabled). Mirrors claude-code's MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS_FOR_SUMMARY
+ * (autoCompact.ts:30) which is based on p99.99 of real compaction outputs.
+ */
+export const COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS = 20_000;
+```
+
+同时清理 `compress()` 内 token math 段（约 line 436-437）那条 `"may include non-persisted tokens (thoughts)"` 注释 —— 现在不存在 thinking 输出了，把句子改成「compressionOutputTokenCount reflects the summary tokens only since thinking is disabled」。
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Run test to verify it passes**
+
+```bash
+npm test --workspace=packages/core -- --run packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.test.ts
+```
+
+Expected: PASS（新测试 + 现有测试不应回归）
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Typecheck + lint**
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck --workspace=packages/core
+npm run lint
+```
+
+Expected: 无错误。
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.test.ts
+git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
+feat(core): cap compression sideQuery output and disable thinking
+
+Add COMPACT_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=20_000 and pass maxOutputTokens to the
+runSideQuery call, disable thinkingConfig.includeThoughts. Aligns with
+claude-code's autoCompact reserve so the downstream threshold ladder
+(P1/P3) can rely on a predictable upper bound on summary output across
+providers (Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini handle thinking budgets
+inconsistently).

+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.ts`
+- Modify: `packages/core/src/services/chatCompressionService.test.ts`
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
+
+本 Task 在 P1 之前落地，所以使用**现有的** `threshold * contextLimit` 公式（70% \* 200K = 140K），只把 `originalTokenCount` 替换为 `estimatePromptTokens(...)`：
+
+```ts
+import * as sideQueryModule from '../utils/sideQuery.js';

+
+注：`formatNum` 是现有项目里的 `.toLocaleString()` 等；如未在文件内则 inline 一个 `(n: number) => n.toLocaleString('en-US')`。
+
+同时**删除**原来计算 `autocompactBuffer` 的代码（[:180-183](packages/cli/src/ui/commands/contextCommand.ts:180)）和对 `compressionThreshold` 的使用 —— 现在直接看 `auto`。

Leave unset to rely on provider defaults. | `undefined` |

This is a value between 0 and 1 that applies to both automatic compression and the manual `/compress` command. For example, a value of `0.6` will trigger compression when the chat history exceeds 60% of the token limit. Use `0` to disable compression entirely. | `0.7` |

Setting this field in `settings.json` is silently ignored, and a one-line deprecation warning is emitted to stderr at startup. To disable auto-compaction entirely, use `model.chatCompression.disabled: true` (manual `/compress` and reactive overflow recovery still work). (See PR #4168 for the redesign rationale.) | `N/A` |

Manual `/compress` (user-initiated) and reactive overflow recovery (API-layer last-ditch safety net) still run. Replaces the removed `contextPercentageThreshold: 0` escape hatch for compliance / debugging / audit-trail sessions. The first NOOP from this gate emits a once-per-process warn so operators can distinguish "user disabled" from "system broken". | `false` |

Env override: `QWEN_IMAGE_TOKEN_ESTIMATE`. Setting to `0` makes images invisible to the token estimator — only do so if you understand that compression decisions in image-heavy sessions will then ignore image weight. | `1600` |

| `model.skipLoopDetection` | boolean | Disables loop detection checks. Loop detection prevents infinite loops in AI responses but can generate false positives that interrupt legitimate workflows. Enable this option if you experience frequent false positive loop detection interruptions. | `false` |

When you encounter an obstacle, do not use destructive actions as a shortcut to simply make it go away. For instance, try to identify root causes and fix underlying issues rather than bypassing safety checks (e.g. --no-verify). If you discover unexpected state like unfamiliar files, branches, or configuration, investigate before deleting or overwriting, as it may represent the user's in-progress work. For example, typically resolve merge conflicts rather than discarding changes; similarly, if a lock file exists, investigate what process holds it rather than deleting it. In short: only take risky actions carefully, and when in doubt, ask before acting. Follow both the spirit and letter of these instructions - measure twice, cut once.`;

+ * the steady-state estimate lags by one response (typically 500–5000
+ * tokens) and the hard-tier rescue (which sits only HARD_BUFFER ≈ 3K
+ * from the window edge) fires late, costing a doomed API round-trip
+ * before reactive recovery catches the overflow.

+ * WARNING: like estimateContentTokens, this is a conservative lower

+ * (lastPromptTokenCount === 0) returns a pure estimate with no API-
