fix(condense): summarize only the API-visible history - #2300
summarizeConversation selected messages from the raw stored history. Sliding window truncation and a prior condense hide messages from normal API requests. Task.ts sends getEffectiveApiHistory(apiConversationHistory), so the model never sees those hidden messages. The condense path did not filter them. It brought them back into the summarization request. The request grew past the model context window, and condense failed with a context size error.
The fix selects getMessagesSinceLastSummary(getEffectiveApiHistory(messages)). The summarization request now carries the same history as a normal request.
The change is non-destructive. The full messages array still drives tagging and persistence. Hidden messages stay stored, and a rewind can still restore them.
Evidence from two captured requests for one task:
Normal request: 21 wire messages, and one marker that reads ... (66 messages omitted ....
Condense request before the fix: 21 wire messages, and one marker that reads ... (274 messages omitted ....
The delta is 208 messages. 206 hidden messages were re-sent, plus 2 new messages.
This PR fixes the hidden history cause. The issue thread also names token estimation and reasoning blocks. This PR does not change those.
Test Procedure
cd src && npx vitest run core/condense core/context-management core/message-manager core/task gives 59 files and 1186 passing tests.
The new test fails on the old code, so the test has teeth. Run npx vitest run core/condense/__tests__/index.spec.ts -t "should exclude messages hidden by sliding-window truncation" on main and it fails.
cd src && npx tsc --noEmit -p tsconfig.json is clean.
cd src && npx eslint --max-warnings=0 --no-warn-ignored core/condense/index.ts core/condense/__tests__/index.spec.ts is clean. The counts in src/eslint-suppressions.json did not change.
pnpm was not available in my environment, so I used npx.
Manual check for reviewers: run a long task with a small context window until sliding window truncation hides messages. Then press "Intelligently Condense Context". The condense request should carry the same visible history as a normal request.
Condense selected messages from the raw stored history. Sliding window
truncation and a prior condense hide messages from normal API requests.
The old selection brought those hidden messages back into the
summarization request. The request then grew past the model context
window, and condense failed with a context size error.
summarizeConversation now selects getMessagesSinceLastSummary(
getEffectiveApiHistory(messages)). This matches what Task.ts sends for
normal requests. The full stored history stays intact, so a rewind can
still restore hidden messages.
Add a regression test. It asserts the exact request content and the
preserved stored history.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Conversation summaries now reflect the active conversation, excluding messages hidden by truncation or an earlier summary.
The original conversation history remains preserved, including hidden messages. The initial task and visible messages after truncation remain available as summary context, keeping summaries aligned with the conversation currently shown.
Conversation summarization now selects messages from effective API history before choosing messages since the last summary. Tests check that truncated messages are excluded from the summarization request and retained in the returned history.

Summary
Select effective history for summarization src/core/condense/index.ts, src/core/condense/__tests__/index.spec.ts
summarizeConversation filters messages through getEffectiveApiHistory before selecting messages since the last summary. Tests check requests with and without a prior summary. They verify that the request excludes messages hidden by truncation and that the returned history retains those messages.
Condensing now excludes hidden history while preserving stored messages for rewind. The inspected changes reveal no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(condense): summarize only the API-visible history" matches the main change. The raw summary says summarizeConversation now derives its messages from getEffectiveApiHistory before selecting messages since the latest summary, which filters out history hidden by condensation or truncation. The title is short, specific, and uses a conventional fix(scope) prefix. It does not mention the tests, but that is expected.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It links the issue (Closes: #1342) and explains the cause and the fix. It states the non-destructive design, the trade-offs (token estimation and reasoning blocks are unchanged), and the reviewer checks. The Test Procedure section gives exact commands and a manual check. The checklist is complete. The Get in Touch section is absent, and the Visual Snapshots and Videos sections are not filled in. Both omissions are non-critical for a non-UI change. Two items need reviewer attention: the Additional Notes say the issue is not yet claimed, and the 'Issue Linked' checkbox is ticked even though the issue assignment is pending. The template requires an approved issue, so the approval status should be confirmed.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Issue #1342 requires condensing to avoid the reported context-size failure or provide request-size visibility. src/core/condense/index.ts now applies getMessagesSinceLastSummary to getEffectiveApiHistory(messages). The condense request therefore uses the same API-visible history as a normal request and excludes hidden truncated or previously condensed messages. The added tests verify hidden-message exclusion and retention of stored history. Token estimation and reasoning-block handling are unchanged, but the issue does not require both remedies.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production change only changes condense history selection. The added tests cover hidden-message exclusion, prior summaries, and preservation of stored history. These changes directly support issue #1342. No unrelated change is shown.
Full details: Security Boundaries
Explanation
No security-boundary failure is introduced. In the changed path summarizeConversation now calls getEffectiveApiHistory(messages) before getMessagesSinceLastSummary; that function removes messages hidden by existing summary or truncation markers and removes orphan tool results. The resulting history is converted to text and sent through the existing API call. The diff adds no secret or PII handling, input execution, approval logic, or allowlist bypass.
Full details: Persistence Integrity
Explanation
PASS. The pull request changes only the message selection used for the summarization request at src/core/condense/index.ts:279-280. It does not add or alter a persistence write. summarizeConversation still returns the original messages array with the new summary, and Task.ts:2716-2746 awaits the operation and then awaits overwriteApiConversationHistory(messages). The added test also verifies that hidden messages remain in the returned history. No changed persistence path meets the failure conditions.
Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup
Explanation
PASS — The only production change is in summarizeConversation: it applies the pure, synchronous getEffectiveApiHistory(messages) filter before getMessagesSinceLastSummary. The changed path creates arrays and a Set; it does not add listeners, watchers, timers, tasks, subscriptions, providers, or cancellation-sensitive work. The existing API stream and its for await cleanup path are unchanged.
Full details: Regression Evidence
Explanation
The changed selection at src/core/condense/index.ts:278-295 adds a changed negative path that lacks focused coverage. With a prior summary, hidden post-summary messages, and only the truncation marker remaining, effective history is [summary, marker]; the function must return condensed_recently and must not call createMessage. Before this change, raw history included the hidden messages and reached the API call. The added tests at src/core/condense/__tests__/index.spec.ts:1135-1220 cover positive request filtering only. Existing negative tests do not include hidden messages or assert this no-call path.
Resolution
Add a focused summarizeConversation unit test with an existing summary, truncation-hidden messages, and a truncation marker as the only remaining post-summary history. Assert the condensed_recently error, unchanged stored messages, and that apiHandler.createMessage was not called.

Current step: The required review sequence passed. Remaining merge requirements apply.
Review-state labels are managed by this workflow; do not edit them manually. community-approved is managed the same way — do not add or remove it manually. It signals a fresh community code approval for the current head as an advisory priority only; maintainer review is still required.
The new test has no isSummary message. It exercises only the no-summary branch of getEffectiveApiHistory. No request-content assertion in the inspected condense tests covers summarizeConversation when a prior summary exists. Request construction for that state is therefore not asserted at the request level.
Truncation filtering inside the summary branch already has a unit test, should filter out truncated messages within summary range. The gap is the request composition for a prior summary.
Add a case to the summarizeConversation suite in src/core/condense/__tests__/index.spec.ts. Include a prior isSummary message, a message after it tagged with truncationParent, a truncation marker with the same truncationId, and visible messages after the marker. Assert the exact createMessage request contents, as the new test does, and assert that the hidden message is absent.

Add a request-level case to the summarizeConversation suite that includes a
prior isSummary message, a message tagged with truncationParent, its matching
truncation marker, and visible messages after the marker. Assert the exact
createMessage request contents and verify the truncated message is absent,
covering request composition when a prior summary exists.

7ecc667Zoo-Code-Org#2269 checkpoint restore when the saved commit is missing,

this PR dirty (label has-conflicts). The stack base origin/vps2-f2a (4dcc34e)
was refreshed first, so this merge takes main's content through it.
Conflict resolution (8 files, 110 conflict regions). Provenance was checked per
region before choosing a side: every region's F2a-side text was located in the
older F2a snapshot (bcc03b2) and NOT in upstream/main, i.e. none of these
conflicts carried new upstream content, while the F2c-side text was this unit's
later rewrite of the same code. Each region therefore kept the F2c side, except
ClineProvider.ts:296 removeTaskEventListeners, the only region whose other side
is new upstream content (Zoo-Code-Org#2269), which was kept as upstream wrote it.
Completeness check: every line upstream/main adds to these 8 files after
a4f774b (59 in ClineProvider.ts, 40 in ClineProvider.spec.ts, 76 in
ClineProvider.sticky-profile.spec.ts, 20 in webviewMessageHandler.ts) is present
in the merged file, so no upstream hunk was dropped by taking the F2c side.
Six auto-merged (non-conflicting) regions mixed the two implementations and were
repaired to F2c's coherent design: ContextProxy.updateGlobalState + a duplicated
stateWriteGenerations field, a duplicated viewLocalStateGeneration field,
savePersistedViewState's viewStatesResetGeneration guard (an F2a-only mechanism;
F2c guards the same race with the clearedViewStateIds tombstone set and
viewLocalStateGeneration), handleModeSwitch's rollback operand
(previousSharedMode -> previousMode), a second viewApiConfiguration overlay block
in getState, and one providerSettingsManager double with a duplicated getProfile
key in ClineProvider.spec.ts.
Series note for reviewers: Zoo-Code-Org#1919 (F2a) and Zoo-Code-Org#1921 (F2c) protect the queued-write
vs reset race differently (viewStatesResetGeneration counter vs clearedViewStateIds
tombstones). Whichever merges second must reconcile the two; Zoo-Code-Org#1921 keeps F2c's
design here so its own specs stay truthful.
Verified locally in this worktree: tsc --noEmit clean in src; eslint-suppressions

Zoo-Code-Org#2271 prompt-cache TTL C6). One conflict, in src/core/webview/ClineProvider.ts:
reopenFromHistory resolved both sides - this unit's persistModeConfig:false rationale comment
is kept and upstream's expectedCurrentTaskId guard is adopted on the same call, so restoring a
history item neither binds the profile to the shared mode slot nor rebuilds/sticky-writes a task
that another view swapped in while the restoration was in flight. The second restore call site
(historyItem.apiConfigName) merged textually and already carries all three options.
