LM Studio Provider Misreports Context Window Size to Copilot Chat

The LM Studio provider for a coding extension reports a fixed 147K-token context window to VS Code Copilot Chat regardless of the model's actual configured window (e.g., 32,768 tokens), and usage stays stuck at 0%. This prevents Copilot Chat's automatic conversation compaction from triggering as the real context fills up.

AI Coding CLI Compaction Hides Summary, Making Context State Opaque

When AI coding tools compact conversation history, the generated summary replacing earlier context is invisible to users. Developers cannot verify what constraints, rejected approaches, or implementation decisions the model still retains. This creates unpredictable behavior in long sessions where context fidelity is critical.

Claude AI prematurely suggests ending sessions without user approaching context limits

Power users of Claude report the AI starts recommending session termination well before they approach their usage limits, disrupting long-running work. The behavior is opaque — users cannot tell whether it is triggered by context window usage, server load, or some other threshold. This undermines trust in the tool for extended technical tasks.
