CI shard 4 caught 4 failures the local baseline diff missed (local env
pollution made them look pre-existing): _make_compressor() constructs
under a get_model_context_length mock but the lazy deferral (#32221)
pushed resolution past the with block, so the 96K window / 75% floor the
tests rely on never materialized. Resolve inside the mock.
Follow-up fixes for the #62625 salvage:
- Dedup-reset gap (sweeper review): when the block clears while the
context is STILL over threshold, execution enters the compression
branch — the PR's 'else' reset never ran, so the warning stayed
suppressed forever after the first block. _clear_context_overflow_warn()
now fires on every automatic compression path: turn-context preflight,
conversation_loop pre-API gate, and the post-tool loop-compaction gate.
- should_compress_info on current main: main refactored should_compress
into _automatic_compression_blocked()/_locally(); the tuple variant now
derives its reason from the same in-memory state via
_compression_block_reason(), keeping cooldown:<s>/ineffective shapes.
- ContextEngine.should_compress_info ABC default now actually returns
(should_compress(tokens), None) — the PR's default had a docstring but
no return (returned None, would crash tuple-unpacking call sites).
- Below-threshold guard: the turn-context persisted-cooldown branch and
the conversation_loop pre-API cooldown branch no longer warn when the
estimate is under threshold (should_compress_info returns a None
reason; the preflight pre-check is not a threshold guarantee). The
pre-API guard also honors compression.max_attempts instead of a
hardcoded 3, and no longer fabricates a cooldown reason.
- Noise-filter survival (#69550 composition): warning text is now a
template constant (CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_BLOCKED_WARNING_TEMPLATE) marked
FAILURE-CLASS, pinned un-swallowed in VISIBLE_COMPRESSION_MESSAGES and
in new tests that execute the real _TELEGRAM_NOISY_STATUS_RE +
_prepare_gateway_status_message.
- Contributor mapping for stanislav@local -> sl4m3.
Previously, when a session crossed the compression threshold but compression
was skipped (summary-LLM cooldown, #11529, or anti-thrashing, #40803), the
model kept accumulating context until it hit the hard provider token limit and
silently stopped answering — with no signal to the user about why.
Changes:
- context_compressor.should_compress_info() returns a (should_compress, reason)
tuple. reason is 'cooldown:<seconds>' or 'ineffective' when compression is
needed but blocked. should_compress() keeps its bool contract so existing
callers (conversation_loop.py) and regression #29335 are unaffected.
- turn_context.build_turn_context() emits a deduped _emit_warning when the
context is over threshold but compression is blocked, advising /new or
/compress. Dedup keys on the block *kind* (cooldown/ineffective), not the
ticking countdown, so a cooldown doesn't re-fire the warning every turn.
- Adds tests/agent/test_turn_context_overflow_warning.py covering the tuple
shape, both block kinds, dedup, and re-fire-after-clear.
