openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix compactionAttempts=0 prevents auto-compaction from starting [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Set compactionAttempts to a value greater than 0 to enable auto-compaction and prevent context overflow events.

Guidance

• Verify the current value of compactionAttempts in your configuration to ensure it is not set to 0.
• Update the configuration to set compactionAttempts to a value greater than 0, such as 1 or a higher number, to enable auto-compaction.
• Be aware that the field name compactionAttempts suggests 0 might be a valid disabled value, but in practice, it is not.
• Consider documenting this workaround to avoid similar issues in the future.

Notes

The provided workaround may not be suitable for all environments or configurations, and further testing may be necessary to ensure the desired behavior.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Set compactionAttempts to a value greater than 0, as this is the only known solution to prevent context overflow events and ensure auto-compaction initializes correctly.
