Bug

After an auto-compaction, /status (and the post-message status card) shows the pre-compaction context size on the "Context" line, not the current size.

Example

⚙️ Compacted (106k → 36) • Context 36/200k (0%)

then on the next status:

🧮 Tokens: 6 in / 124 out
📚 Context: 76k/200k (38%) · 🧹 Compactions: 1

The 76k / 106k figures shown immediately after compaction are stale — they reflect what was in context right before compaction fired, not what's actually there now (which is the summary, ~a few hundred to a few thousand tokens).

This is misleading: users read "Context: 106k/200k (53%)" and think compaction didn't work.

Expected

The "Context" field should reflect the current post-compaction context size.

The pre-compaction peak is useful but belongs on the Compactions line as a delta, e.g.:

📚 Context: 36/200k (0%)
🧹 Compactions: 1 (last: 106k → 36)

Repro

1. Let a session grow to >100k tokens.
2. Trigger /compact or auto-compact.
3. Run /status — observe Context line still shows pre-compaction figure until the next user turn refreshes it.

Notes

• Reported in WhatsApp group surface, but the status card formatter is shared, so this affects all channels.
• Likely a stale read of the context window snapshot taken before the compaction summary replaces history.
