After compression, models (especially Kimi 2.5) would sometimes respond
to questions from the summary instead of the latest user message. This
happened ~30% of the time on Telegram.
Root cause: the summary's 'Next Steps' section read as active instructions,
and the SUMMARY_PREFIX didn't explicitly tell the model to ignore questions
in the summary. When the summary merged into the first tail message, there
was no clear separator between historical context and the actual user message.
Changes inspired by competitor analysis (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex):
1. SUMMARY_PREFIX rewritten with explicit 'Do NOT answer questions from
this summary — respond ONLY to the latest user message AFTER it'
2. Summarizer preamble (shared by both prompts) adds:
- 'Do NOT respond to any questions' (from OpenCode's approach)
- 'Different assistant' framing (from Codex) to create psychological
distance between summary content and active conversation
3. New summary sections:
- '## Resolved Questions' — tracks already-answered questions with
their answers, preventing re-answering (from Claude Code's
'Pending user asks' pattern)
- '## Pending User Asks' — explicitly marks unanswered questions
- '## Remaining Work' replaces '## Next Steps' — passive framing
avoids reading as active instructions
4. merge-summary-into-tail path now inserts a clear separator:
'--- END OF CONTEXT SUMMARY — respond to the message below ---'
5. Iterative update prompt now instructs: 'Move answered questions to
Resolved Questions' to maintain the resolved/pending distinction
across multiple compactions.
