Bug Description

The Control UI dashboard displays context usage as '378k/128k' which appears to show 297% overflow (🚨), but the actual context window usage is 58k/128k (46%) (✅).

What's Happening

• 378k = Lifetime tokens sent to model (cumulative session total, informational)
• 58k = Actual active context tokens in memory
• 128k = Context window size limit

The UI is comparing lifetime token consumption against the context window size, creating a false alarm.

Expected Behavior

Display should clarify:

• Lifetime Tokens: 378k (informational metric)
• Context Usage: 58k/128k (46%) (actionable metric)

Environment

• OpenClaw: 2026.3.13 (61d171a)
• Control UI: Dashboard view
• Date: March 14, 2026

Impact

• Misleading warning may cause users to trigger unnecessary compaction
• Confusion about session health status

Suggested Fix

Separate the two metrics in the UI display:

1. Show lifetime tokens as informational only (not compared against window size)
2. Show context usage as the actionable percentage metric
