Update the compression logic to ensure the most recent 5 turns are always preserved in raw format, regardless of the compression threshold.

CONTEXT COMPRESSION "LAST 5 TURNS" PROTECTION — IMPLEMENTED

Date: 2026-04-06
Status: Merged + tested

Changes

  1. agent/context_compressor.py

    • Changed default protect_last_n from 20 → 5
    • Ensures the most recent 5 messages are never summarized away during context compaction
  2. run_agent.py

    • Updated config fallback from 20 → 5 for compression.protect_last_n
  3. Config files updated

    • /root/.hermes/config.yaml — added protect_last_n: 5
    • /root/wizards/ezra/home/config.yaml — added protect_last_n: 5
  4. Tests

    • Updated existing default test to assert 5
    • Added test_last_5_turns_protected_from_compression verifying the tail preservation logic
    • Result: 35/35 tests passing

Why this matters

  • Reduces context loss during long sessions
  • Keeps the most recent tool results and user directives intact
  • Balances memory savings with recall accuracy
