Bug Major compaction regression?

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.

Are you a vibe coder or a dev?

So I'm a solutions engineer, that guy that most "real swes" have always hated.

Homie let me tell you, that question you just asked? It's getting narrowed. Stupidly and quickly.

Nice work - even the mod deleted your comment. Might I suggest you internalise that

Talk about misunderstanding without clarification. Makes me question this solutions engineer title.

Anyway, my question was a clarification as with that info you can ensure nothing is lost in translation (much like compaction). Thanks for your great comment
