+become labeled reference notes from the assistant, because the summary request has no tools. Known
+status, search queries, visited URLs, find patterns and source metadata are preserved, with long
+values and lists cut short and at most 64 KiB of notes per summary request; opaque state and
+unknown or malformed fields are omitted. These notes describe past search actions, not fetched
+page content or new instructions. Existing answer text, citations and ordinary tool results remain
+available. Lite requests retain `parallel_tool_calls=false`, which the upstream requires even
+without tool declarations. This changes only the summary request, not stored history or native
+compaction; a failed summary does not replace the history. Restart the proxy after editing
 `config.json` by hand. Dashboard saves apply immediately.

+
+The portable Responses summarizer in `src/adapters/openai-responses/passthrough.ts` uses `src/adapters/openai-responses/compaction-search-history.ts` to render remaining top-level `web_search_call` items, after bridge restoration, as assistant reference notes labeled untrusted historical metadata (not instructions or fetched page content). The allowlist keeps string status and action fields (type, query/queries, URL, pattern, source URL/title/type); opaque state, IDs, unknown fields and malformed values are omitted. Strings are cut at 2048 code units, lists at 20 entries, and one request carries at most 64 KiB of notes; later hosted cells collapse into a single omission note reserved inside that budget. Tool declarations stay absent, bridge-restored call/result pairs and existing messages/citations stay intact, and only the summary request changes, never stored history, ordinary turns or native compaction. A failed summary publishes no replacement history. Lite requests retain `parallel_tool_calls=false`, which the upstream requires even without tool declarations.
 
 `tests/responses/responses-compaction-override.test.ts` covers source filtering, trigger selection, config
 validation, native and routed handlers, credential retention, portable summaries and replay, and combo failover.
