claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] UI: Conversation transcript duplicates on each auto-compaction in long sessions

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by modifying the UI rendering logic to handle compaction cycles correctly, ensuring each message appears only once.

Guidance

• Review the UI rendering code to identify where the duplication occurs and adjust the logic to remove duplicate messages after compaction.
• Verify that the underlying data structure used for storing conversation history is correctly updated during compaction, ensuring no duplicate entries are added.
• Investigate the auto-compaction mechanism to understand how it interacts with the UI rendering layer, potentially leading to the duplication issue.
• Test the fix with various session lengths and compaction cycles to ensure the solution is robust.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without access to the Claude Code repository, but the fix likely involves modifying the rendering function to check for and remove duplicate messages before displaying the conversation transcript.

Notes

The provided information suggests the issue is specific to the UI rendering layer and does not affect the underlying data or token consumption. However, without direct access to the codebase, the exact solution may require further investigation into the Claude Code's rendering and compaction mechanisms.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the UI rendering logic, as the root cause seems to be related to how the UI handles compaction cycles, and there's no clear indication of a fixed version that addresses this specific issue.
