TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by removing old images from the context using the /compact command or starting a new session.

Guidance

• Identify the problematic image by checking the session logs and looking for any images that exceed the 2000px dimension limit.
• Use the /compact command to remove old images from the context, which may resolve the issue.
• If the issue persists, try starting a new session and reloading the session logs to continue working.
• Consider organizing session logs and images in a way that makes it easier to identify and remove problematic files.

Example

No specific code snippet is applicable in this case, as the issue is related to user interaction and session management.

Notes

The provided error messages do not seem to be directly related to the described issue, as they mention lock acquisition failures and missing environment variables. However, the issue description suggests that the problem is related to image dimensions and session management.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use the /compact command to remove old images from the context or start a new session to mitigate the issue, as the root cause is not clearly identified and may require further investigation.
