k-langton··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
Hey! I work on OpenCode, so thank you for this measured reply ;)

Just wanted to add a few things:

- We actually don't do tool-call pruning any more. But compaction is a necessary evil for the time being. There's only so much context window, and if you wish to keep working on the same task for a long time, the model needs to summarize its current progress so it can continue without hitting its token ceiling.

- With V2 (in beta atm), we have a new system for handling changing system instructions (AGENTS.md files, available skills, etc.) that avoids cache misses at all costs, while still giving the robot the newest information. I recorded a little video about it here:
