claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Post-compaction: Claude resumes the prior user request instead of the most recent one

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by adjusting the conversation compaction logic to preserve the most recent user request as the active task.

Guidance

• Review the compaction summary generation code to ensure it correctly handles the most recent user turn, potentially by excluding it from the summarization window.
• Verify that the "current task" pointer is not being shifted back one turn during compaction, causing the second-to-last user request to be acted upon instead of the latest one.
• Investigate the --dangerously-skip-permissions flag's impact on compaction behavior, as it may be influencing the issue.
• Test the compaction process with a controlled sequence of user requests to identify the exact point of failure.

Example

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

Notes

The provided information suggests a logic error in the compaction summary generation, but without access to the code, it's difficult to provide a precise fix. The issue may be specific to the claude-opus-4-7 model or the Windows 11 environment.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by modifying the compaction logic to preserve the most recent user request, as the root cause is likely related to the summarization process. This approach allows for a targeted fix without requiring a version upgrade or significant changes to the underlying system.
