Most members concern the compaction/compression trigger not factoring in reserved output tokens, with one issue noting a custom-provider default max_tokens of 65536 reducing usable input budget. One member differs slightly, addressing output-cap retry convergence to a workable max_tokens, which is related but a distinct change.
