witcheer(@witcheer):Hermes Wingtips #49: compaction thresholds when your Hermes Agent stops mid-task to summarize, the number in that warning is not random. compaction fires at a fixed fraction of your main model's context window. the fraction is `compression.threshold` in config.yaml, and it is always read off the model you chat with, never the summarizers' window. on smaller context windows Hermes waits longer by default, so a compaction cannot fire with half the window still free. and if you switch between a huge-context model and a small one, `compression.model_thresholds` sets a different trigger per model, matched on the model name.
