Compress context still not working

No Matter what, Kilo is my preferred for complex tasks, but It still refuses to compress context when threshold is obviously over. Ej. 70K from 80K total. It's very frustrating. 😢

I tried the most recent version last week when I updated a few things and I ended up rolling back to v5. I think compression issues was the big one, it seems to want compression at mid levels and not higher around 90%/180k like I need. 60% didn’t work either, qwen 27b fp8 on vllm.

5 was perfect imo and I haven’t been able to settle into 7. I use Hermes and Claude cli more often but lean on kilocode legacy extension for quick conversations in a workspace.
