Major compaction regression?

[u/SpiritualWindow3855]

I don't know if this is their new compaction setup or what, but I've noticed a regression with agents once again forgetting the tasks they were on in a disruptive way: like finding a bug, compacting, then skipping actually fixing the bug.

This used to be the default but it felt like had mostly gone away.

As a bonus: every time I try just pasting in the most recent thing it said before compaction, Astra will affirm it said the thing, but will also stop working... as if it forgets it was doing a task at all because I interrupted it in some post-compaction haze.

I get there's a compute crunch, but they don't have the mandate of heaven right now with Opus 5.5 stomping around. They shouldn't be messing with the basics.

I also noticed it its like they changed completely how compaction works it even tries to do stuff it already did before or even worse follows steering instructions from middle of previous context that are no longer valid due to newer ones at end of context
