openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bug: Webchat /compact button runs file-level trim instead of LLM context compaction [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The webchat Control UI's compact button should be modified to dispatch compactEmbeddedPiSession instead of sessions.compact to correctly reduce the context token count.

Guidance

• Verify the current behavior by checking the dispatched action when the compact button is clicked and confirm that the token count remains unchanged.
• Investigate the code responsible for handling the compact button click event to identify why sessions.compact is being dispatched instead of compactEmbeddedPiSession.
• Consider implementing a temporary workaround by instructing users to send /compact as a text message through a proper channel, as this correctly routes to compactEmbeddedPiSession.
• Review the differences between sessions.compact and compactEmbeddedPiSession to understand the intended functionality and how to correctly implement the compact button's behavior.

Example

No code example is provided due to the lack of specific code details in the issue.

Notes

The provided workaround suggests that the issue is specific to the webchat Control UI's compact button and does not affect other channels, such as Telegram or iMessage.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Instruct users to send /compact as a text message through a proper channel until the compact button's behavior can be corrected to dispatch compactEmbeddedPiSession. This ensures that users can still access the intended functionality while a permanent fix is being developed.
