Add @tanstack/ai-compaction so a long chat can stay under the model context limit. The full transcript stays in messages. The model sees a smaller providerMessages view. Middleware can also call ctx.emitCustomEvent so CUSTOM events reach the client while a hook is still running.

This branch includes latest main. DevTools keeps both the Compaction tab from this PR and the Skills tab from main.

Pending review comments on this PR are addressed:

  1. Trailing tool results stay paired with their assistant. The tail is never empty.
  2. Compaction skips init. summarize / onCompact fire once per beforeModel call.
  3. Folding needs a checkpoint. summarizeOldest has a built-in strategy key.
  4. The default summary is an assistant note inside <untrusted-conversation-summary>.
  5. The ponytail: comment prefix is gone.

🎯 Changes

  • New package @tanstack/ai-compaction. withCompaction({ maxTokens, strategy }) runs on beforeModel and structuredOutput, not init.
  • Three strategies: evictOldest (default), summarizeOldest, clearToolResults. Combine them with composeStrategies.
  • Compaction writes providerMessages. Persistence still saves the full messages list.
  • ctx.emitCustomEvent(name, value) on ChatMiddlewareContext. The engine yields each CUSTOM chunk while the hook is still running.
  • Compaction emits compaction:started, then compaction:state, then compaction:ended. DevTools has a Compaction tab.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested code changes locally with pnpm run test:pr, or these tests do not apply to this pull request.
  • I fully understand the code in this pull request, including any code generated with AI assistance.
  • Docs: I updated docs/ for this change, or this change is not user-facing.
  • Changeset: I added a changeset (pnpm changeset), or this PR does not change a published package.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Testing

Commands run.

  1. packages/ai-compaction test:lib: 22 passed
  2. Earlier: packages/ai-client 727 passed, packages/ai-devtools 53 passed, sherif clean, oxlint 0 errors
  3. GitHub PR Test on 0b37970 passed. This push is 719263cb6.

Manual test.

  1. Run pnpm --dir examples/ts-react-chat exec vite dev --port 3011 --strictPort.
  2. Open http://localhost:3011/compaction.
  3. Send a few long messages until compaction runs.
  4. Reload. The chat still shows every message.
  5. Send another message. It must not throw on createdAt.

How this PR makes testing easy.

  • Trailing tool groups: packages/ai-compaction/src/index.test.ts
  • Skip init, one summarize per beforeModel: same file
  • Example: /compaction in examples/ts-react-chat

Risk / rollback

emitCustomEvent is a new required field on ChatMiddlewareContext. Hand-built context stubs must add it. Nothing else runs unless you add withCompaction. To undo, revert this PR.

Public API change

Before

const mw: ChatMiddleware = {
  async onConfig() {
    await slowWork()
  },
}

After

const mw: ChatMiddleware = {
  async onConfig(ctx) {
    ctx.emitCustomEvent('job:started', { step: 'prepare' })
    await slowWork()
    ctx.emitCustomEvent('job:ended', { step: 'prepare' })
  },
}

New package usage:

import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { withCompaction } from '@tanstack/ai-compaction'
import { withPersistence } from '@tanstack/ai-persistence'

chat({
  adapter,
  messages,
  threadId,
  runId,
  middleware: [
    withPersistence(persistence),
    withCompaction({ maxTokens: 100_000 }),
  ],
})

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable chat context compaction with eviction, summarization, tool-result clearing, and composable strategies.
    • Preserved complete transcripts while optimizing context sent to models.
    • Added checkpoint reuse through persistence metadata.
    • Added custom middleware events and compaction lifecycle notifications.
    • Added a Compaction view in AI DevTools with previews, statistics, and event history.
    • Added interactive compaction examples with model, token-limit, and strategy controls.
  • Documentation

    • Expanded guidance for compaction, middleware events, persistence, and provider-specific message context.

Add @tanstack/ai-compaction — withCompaction() rewrites messages via the
chat() onConfig hook before each model call: keeps the recent tail verbatim,
replaces the older head with a summary (when a summarize callback is given) or
an eviction marker, and preserves tool-call/result pairing. Includes a panel
demo (/compaction) and an e2e wire test.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds strategy-based @tanstack/ai-compaction middleware. It separates canonical and provider messages, supports checkpoint persistence and lifecycle events, integrates DevTools, and adds documentation, wire tests, panel routes, and interactive examples.

Changes

Context compaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider context and middleware events
packages/ai/src/activities/chat/*, packages/ai/tests/*
The chat engine separates canonical messages from provider messages and streams middleware custom events during asynchronous work.
Compaction strategies and checkpoints
packages/ai-compaction/*, docs/advanced/compaction.md, .changeset/*
The package adds eviction, summarization, tool-result clearing, strategy composition, lifecycle events, and validated metadata checkpoints.
Persistence metadata integration
packages/ai-persistence/*, docs/persistence/*
Persistence exposes an optional metadata capability. Compaction uses it for checkpoints while preserving the canonical transcript.
DevTools event transport and inspection
packages/ai-client/*, packages/ai-event-client/*, packages/ai-devtools/*
Compaction events move through the client and DevTools bridge, support replay, and appear in a new Compaction tab.
Wire tests and interactive demos
testing/e2e/*, testing/panel/*, examples/ts-react-chat/*
Adds mocked wire-format coverage, panel inspection routes, and React compaction examples with selectable strategies, token limits, and persistent threads.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 71926

The example can expose or overwrite other visitors’ transcripts when shared persistence is used, and compaction can still send requests larger than the configured model limit, causing provider failures. These are concrete security and reliability risks that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Ensure the compacted message set fits maxTokens.

Lines 115-119 accept an unbounded summary. If summarize returns a long string, next can still exceed maxTokens and the model call can fail from context overflow. The same condition occurs when the mandatory retained tail already exceeds the budget.

Re-estimate next before returning it. Bound or fall back from the summary note when it does not fit. Return a clear error when the retained tail cannot fit. Add tests that assert the returned message set is within the configured budget.

Bound the process-local event store.

eventsByThread has no expiry or size limit. A caller can send unbounded distinct threadId values to /api/compaction-chat, and each compaction retains an event until a matching DELETE request occurs. This causes unbounded heap growth in the panel server.

Add a global entry limit, a per-thread event limit, and expiry cleanup.

Do not store early requests under a shared fallback thread.

CompactionPage enables Send before useEffect initializes threadId. The API then records events under panel-default-thread, while the page later queries its generated UUID. The user does not see the event for that request.

Server-side `withPersistence` and `withCompaction` share the run's message
array. Compaction rewrites it in `onConfig`, and `withPersistence.onFinish`
saves that array with a full-overwrite `saveThread`, so the stored thread
becomes the compacted one. This was undocumented and untested.

- Add a "Compaction and persistence" section to the compaction guide, plus a
  callout on the chat-persistence page, with the ways to keep a full transcript.
- Add a with-persistence unit test that drops a message in `onConfig` and
  asserts the saved thread is the compacted set.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The chat engine ids assistant messages but leaves incoming user messages,
engine-created tool messages, and compaction-injected messages without one.
`withPersistence` now fills in an id for any message that lacks one, in place,
before each `saveThread`. The same message keeps its id across a run's saves
and, when the server owns the thread, across the next turn's reload.

This lets a row-keyed persistence adapter reconcile by id (SELECT id, version
then delete/insert/update) instead of rewriting the whole transcript. Order and
version (content hash) stay the adapter's to own; see the new "Storing messages
per row" section in the store reference.

- ensureMessageIds() at all four save points (start, streaming snapshot,
  interrupt boundary, finish) plus the pending-turn seam.
- Tests: every persisted message has an id, and earlier ids stay stable across
  a continuation turn.
- Existing verbatim-transcript assertions relaxed to tolerate the added id.

The /compaction page no longer asks you to paste a key. The API reads provider keys from examples/ts-react-chat/.env. Vite loads that file into process.env so server routes can use it.
The AI DevTools panel now has a Compaction tab. Each compact lists when it ran, token and message counts, the budget, dropped messages, and the transcript sent to the model. The /compaction example also shows a small banner from the same compaction:state event.
…e UI

The Compaction tab now uses the same step row, JsonTree, and User View message cards as the rest of the AI panel. Message previews keep up to 4000 characters so the text wraps instead of clipping.
withCompaction now injects compaction:started, compaction:state, and compaction:ended CUSTOM events. The chat client re-emits all three. DevTools shows them as Started, State, and Ended rows. The /compaction example banner listens to the same sequence.
Middleware can push CUSTOM chunks while a hook is still running.
Compaction emits compaction:started before the strategy finishes.
Give the dropped vs sent-to-model grid the same left padding it already had on the right.
reconstructChat returns createdAt as a string. uiMessagesToWire then
called Date.toISOString and threw on the next send.
withPersistence saves the full transcript. Compaction still only
rewrites providerMessages. Reload keeps every message.

Keep document message parts in DevTools.

Adding DocumentPart makes type: 'document' valid in content arrays. The mapper in packages/ai-devtools/src/store/ai-context.tsx handles only image, audio, and video parts, then filters unknown parts. Document parts now disappear from the DevTools transcript.

Add document to that mapper and preserve its source and metadata.

Update the stale route doc comment.

The route now selects evictOldest or summarizeOldest from data.strategy. The comment above the route still states that compaction "evicts the oldest messages (no summarize callback)".

📝 Proposed wording
- * `maxTokens` so the middleware fires after a couple of turns. Compaction here
- * evicts the oldest messages (no `summarize` callback), keeping the recent tail
- * verbatim; each event is recorded so the page can show before/after tokens.

579-590: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider gating or shrinking the compaction:state previews.

previewList allows 24 previews of up to 4000 characters each, for both dropped and result. One compaction:state event can therefore carry roughly 190 KB of message text. emitCompactionState pushes that onto the chat stream on every compaction, for every client, whether or not DevTools is attached.

Consider a smaller PREVIEW_CHARS cap, or an opt-in option on CompactionOptions that enables previews.

Note also that previewList maps every message and then slices, so the token estimate and the 4000-character slice run for messages that are discarded.

♻️ Proposed change to build only the previews that are sent
 function previewList(
   messages: ReadonlyArray<ModelMessage>,
   estimate: (message: ModelMessage) => number,
 ): Array<CompactionMessagePreview> {
-  const mapped = messages.map((message) => toMessagePreview(message, estimate))
-  if (mapped.length <= MAX_PREVIEWS) return mapped
-  return mapped.slice(0, MAX_PREVIEWS)
+  return messages
+    .slice(0, MAX_PREVIEWS)
+    .map((message) => toMessagePreview(message, estimate))

Inline comments:
In `@docs/advanced/compaction.md`:
- Around line 211-212: Update the DevTools timeline documentation around the
compaction lifecycle to distinguish the recorded step names onCompactStart,
onCompact, and onCompactEnd from withCompaction options, and state that only
onCompact is a callback option.

In `@examples/ts-react-chat/package.json`:
- Line 28: Update the `@tanstack/ai-compaction` entry in dependencies to use the
workspace:^ version protocol instead of workspace:*, preserving the existing

- Around line 91-94: Update the GET and POST compaction flows in
api.compaction.ts and the thread identifier usage in compaction.tsx to derive
thread ownership from the server-side session identity rather than trusting a
client-supplied ID. Enforce authorization before reconstructing or persisting
any thread, and replace the shared compaction-demo identifier with a
principal-scoped thread identifier.

In `@packages/ai-client/src/devtools.ts`:
- Around line 1062-1067: Update recordCompactionEvent to cache each compaction
event together with the current run context, and make onReplayState use that
stored context when emitting historical events instead of the later active run’s
context. Add a regression test covering DevTools opening after the compaction
run settles and after a subsequent run starts.

In `@packages/ai-devtools/src/components/hooks/CompactionPanel.tsx`:
- Around line 113-142: The expandable compaction event row in
CompactionPanel.tsx (lines 113-142) and middleware change row in
IterationCard.tsx (lines 187-193) currently use clickable divs that are not
keyboard-operable. Replace each with a button or add complete button semantics,
including focusability and Enter/Space activation, while preserving the existing
expansion behavior.

In `@packages/ai-devtools/src/components/hooks/HookDashboard.tsx`:
- Around line 58-60: Update the conversation selection logic around
selectConversation to check hook.id, hook.clientId, and hook.threadId in order,
selecting the first key that exists in state.conversations rather than choosing
only the first non-empty value.

Apply the same fix in `@packages/ai-devtools/src/components/hooks/HookDetails.tsx`
around lines 211 - 214: The same fallback-selection defect occurs when selecting
a hook from HookOverview.

In `@packages/ai-devtools/src/store/compaction-registry.ts`:
- Around line 119-120: Update the event selection logic around matched and
state.events so a hook with no matches does not fall back to all compaction
events. Return only events matching the selected hook, plus explicitly unscoped
events lacking hook, client, or thread scope; exclude events scoped to another
hook.

In `@packages/ai/src/activities/chat/index.ts`:
- Around line 4458-4515: Update the terminal-hook handling in run() so
middlewareCustomQueue is drained with drainMiddlewareCustomQueue() before each
return from runOnFinish, runOnError, and runOnAbort, ensuring
ctx.emitCustomEvent chunks reach the public stream before generator completion.
Add a regression test covering an onFinish custom event.

In `@packages/ai/tests/middleware.test.ts`:
- Line 210: Strengthen the ordering assertions in the middleware test around the
before-text events: reject every text event type, including TEXT_MESSAGE_START,
before test:started; assert RUN_STARTED is the first pre-text event rather than
merely present; and compare test:ended against the first text event of any type.
Update the related assertions at the referenced checks while preserving the
existing event-order contract.

In `@testing/panel/src/routes/api.compaction-chat.ts`:
- Around line 24-43: Update summarizeWith and its callers so the outer abort
controller is passed through the summary callback, then provide it as
abortController in the nested chat call. Preserve the existing summarization
messages and iteration strategy while ensuring cancellation of the outer
compaction flow also cancels nested summarization.

IDOR (CWE-639): Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (IDOR)

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Trivial

Require server-side authorization for persisted compaction threads.

The route accepts any non-empty client-supplied threadId and uses the same SQLite persistence for every session. The POST handler also writes using the client-supplied threadId without an ownership check.

Bind each thread to the server-side session identity. Enforce ownership before reconstruction and persistence writes. Replace the shared compaction-demo identifier with a thread identifier scoped to the authorized principal.

Preserve the original run context for replay.

Line 1063 caches no run context. onReplayState then emits historical compaction events with no runId, or with the runId of a later active run. DevTools can associate replayed compaction data with the wrong iteration.

Check each candidate identifier before selecting a conversation.

Both hook-selection paths prefer hook.id or selectedHook.id whenever it is truthy, even when that key is absent from state.conversations. This prevents fallback to clientId or threadId when the conversation exists only under one of those identifiers.

Select the first candidate in [id, clientId, threadId] that exists in state.conversations.

Assert the complete ordering contract.

The loop rejects only TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT, but the mock emits TEXT_MESSAGE_START on Line 178. A regression can yield TEXT_MESSAGE_START before test:started and still pass. beforeText.some(...) also proves only that RUN_STARTED exists; it does not prove that it is first. Compare test:ended with the first text event, not only the first content event.

Propagate cancellation to the nested summarization chat() call.

When compaction uses summarizeOldest, withCompaction.onConfig awaits summarizeWith. The nested chat() does not receive the outer abortController, so response cancellation aborts only the outer stream. Pass the controller through the summary callback and set abortController on the nested chat() call.

summarizeWith and its callers so the outer abort controller is passed through
the summary callback, then provide it as abortController in the nested chat
call. Preserve the existing summarization messages and iteration strategy while
ensuring cancellation of the outer compaction flow also cancels nested
summarization.
