These members appear to center on one theme: how the configured or real model context length interacts with an enforced 64K minimum, particularly for local providers like Ollama where the actual window may be smaller. One is a bug report describing compression being unreachable, and the others are proposed fixes that honor overrides or cap to the real window.

Open issues1

  • Issue#60103[Bug]: Compression unreachable on local models whose real context is silently clamped by Ollama — dead zone causes permanent context-shift and multi-minute latency
