claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Expose autoCompactThreshold in statusLine JSON payload [1 participants]

TL;DR

Add auto_compact_threshold to the statusline JSON payload to allow statusline scripts to accurately compute the percentage until auto-compact.

Guidance

• Include auto_compact_threshold in the JSON payload to provide statusline scripts with the necessary information to calculate the correct "until compact" suffix.
• Update statusline scripts to use the auto_compact_threshold value from the payload instead of hardcoding an assumption about the threshold.
• Consider implementing a fallback or default value for auto_compact_threshold in case it is not provided in the payload.
• Review related issues (#43981, #46375, #28999) to ensure consistency in exposing relevant values in the statusline payload.

Example

{
  "used_percentage": 42,
  "auto_compact_threshold": 85,
  ...
}

This example shows the updated JSON payload with the auto_compact_threshold value.

Notes

The proposed solution assumes that the auto_compact_threshold value is already computed internally by CC and can be easily exposed in the statusline payload. If this is not the case, additional work may be required to calculate or retrieve this value.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround using the BRANA_AUTOCOMPACT_THRESHOLD environment variable, but consider implementing the proposed solution to add auto_compact_threshold to the statusline JSON payload for a more robust and maintainable fix. This will allow statusline scripts to accurately compute the percentage until auto-compact without requiring users to keep an environment variable in sync with any future threshold config.
