What

  • wait for Codex to persist a new context compaction item before reporting success
  • preserve and deduplicate context compaction runtime events across notification forms
  • show pending, completed, and failed compaction states in Wework without duplicate indicators
  • add a CI-registered real desktop E2E scenario and document the lifecycle

Why

Clicking Compress returned after thread/compact/start was accepted, before Codex persisted the compacted summary. Wework refreshed too early, so the completion marker could be missing and the next turn could still use the uncompacted context.

Impact

Manual context compaction now has an authoritative completion boundary. Users get immediate progress feedback, a single completion marker, and subsequent turns use the persisted compacted summary.

Root cause

The executor treated RPC acceptance as completion, while the bundled Codex app-server can persist the contextCompaction item hundreds of milliseconds later and does not consistently forward a dedicated compaction notification. The UI therefore settled and refreshed before the transcript became authoritative.

Verification

  • cargo test --manifest-path executor/Cargo.toml context_compaction -- --nocapture
  • pnpm --filter wework test src/features/workbench/runtimeConversationTurns.test.ts src/features/workbench/runtimePaneMessages.test.ts
  • pnpm --filter wework typecheck
  • ESLint and Prettier on changed Wework files
  • pnpm --filter wework e2e:desktop -- --segment context-compaction
  • pre-push: Wework ESLint, TypeScript, unit tests; Executor fmt, cargo test --all-features --lib, and Clippy

E2E proof

The desktop scenario holds the compaction model response open, asserts exactly one request and one running indicator, releases the response, verifies the completed indicator, then sends a follow-up and asserts that the model request contains the persisted compaction summary.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added reliable manual context compaction with confirmation, progress indicators, completion states, and follow-up conversation support.
    • Preserved compaction task identity and client message details throughout processing.
    • Added timeout and error reporting when compaction cannot be completed.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented duplicate compaction entries from appearing.
    • Ensured pending compaction indicators are correctly replaced by completed results.
  • Tests

    • Added desktop end-to-end coverage for compaction, confirmation, and follow-up behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Context compaction now confirms persisted transcript completion, preserves synthetic subtask identity, deduplicates runtime events, reconciles optimistic workbench state, returns completion identifiers, and adds desktop E2E coverage and documentation.

Changes

Context compaction lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Compaction event routing
executor/src/runtime_work/events.rs
The executor recognizes compaction requests, extracts nested compaction identities, and suppresses duplicate blocks across notification types.
Persisted compaction completion
executor/src/runtime_work/handler.rs, executor/src/runtime_work/handler/notifications.rs, executor/src/runtime_work/handler/tasks.rs, executor/src/runtime_work/handler/tests.rs, wework/src/types/api.ts
The executor polls for a new completed compaction item, preserves the synthetic subtask identity, handles timeout and read errors, and returns turn and item identifiers.
Workbench state reconciliation
wework/src/features/workbench/runtimeConversationTurns.ts, wework/src/features/workbench/runtimeConversationTurns.test.ts, wework/src/features/workbench/useWorkbenchRuntimeMessaging.ts
The workbench creates one optimistic compaction block, reconciles it with the runtime block, and records completion or error state.
Desktop validation and documentation
wework/e2e/desktop/*, docs/en/wegent/developer-guide/local-device-architecture.md, docs/zh/wegent/developer-guide/local-device-architecture.md
The desktop scenario validates compaction confirmation, progress, completion, deduplication, and follow-up summary use. Documentation describes the same lifecycle.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 59d6f

Some supported completion payloads may still fail to produce the compaction marker, and the desktop regression can race its request-count assertion, creating a bounded user-visible correctness gap and an unreliable merge check. Address or explicitly accept these risks before merging.
