fix(context): make zero-progress truncation recovery degrade tool results instead of reporting success - #1617
Conversation
Short histories (e.g. an assistant tool_use followed by one oversized user tool_result) round the 50% message calculation down to zero removable messages. manageContext still returned a success-shaped truncation result (fresh truncationId, messagesRemoved: 0, unchanged messages), so the task emitted a sliding_window_truncation event and the next request retried into the same over-budget failure forever. - treat messagesRemoved === 0 as zero progress and degrade in place: shrink the largest eligible textual tool_result blocks, preserving their tool_use_id and block shape so the tool_use/tool_result pair is never orphaned; recount and report success only when the recalculated model-facing token count decreases - when nothing can be removed or shrunk further, return a controlled error/errorDetails result instead of emitting another fake truncation event - share one model-facing recount helper between the truncation and degradation paths so both report against the same accounting Fixes Zoo-Code-Org#1254

Cover array-form tool_result.content.
This test passes only a string. It does not exercise the separate content-array discovery and edit branches in findShrinkableToolResults and applyToolResultEdits.
Add a case with multiple text items. Verify that only eligible text changes and that item order, item types, and tool_use_id remain unchanged. The surviving mutation results confirm that the current test does not distinguish this branch.
As per path instructions, require compatibility and boundary coverage at the lowest valid test harness.

Exclude condensed messages from shrink candidates.
Task passes the full persisted history to manageContext, then builds the request from getEffectiveApiHistory. Because findShrinkableToolResults skips only truncation-hidden messages, it can shrink a tool_result that getEffectiveApiHistory removes through an existing condensation summary. countModelFacingTokens then reports progress, but the effective request is unchanged. Apply the API visibility rule when selecting candidates, while preserving original indexes for edits.

Include the truncation notice in the shrink target.
For a small tokensToFree, this code can remove a few characters and append a longer notice. The edited block then grows, so recovery returns an error although the block could be reduced further.
Reserve the estimated notice tokens before calculating keepTokens, or continue shrinking until the recounted token reduction reaches the target.
As per path instructions, verify boundary and error behavior for changed TypeScript paths.

Reject an over-budget degraded result before retrying
manageContext currently reports success when degradation only reduces tokens, even if newContextTokensAfterDegradation > allowedTokens. Task then persists and sends the still-over-budget history. A context-window error re-enters recovery, and the generic auto-approval retry path can continue after the three bounded context retries.
Accept degradation only when it also satisfies the budget. Treat the resulting error as terminal in both the normal caller and handleContextWindowExceededError; neither path should send or retry an over-budget history.
Add a regression test where an eligible tool_result cannot fit after the 200-character floor.

Description
Root cause — the fallback branch in
manageContext(src/core/context-management/index.ts) callstruncateConversation(messages, 0.5). For short histories — e.g. an assistanttool_usefollowed by one oversized usertool_result—Math.floor((visibleCount - 1) * 0.5)rounds down to 1 and the even-rounding step takes it to 0 removable messages.truncateConversationthen returns the original messages with a freshtruncationIdandmessagesRemoved: 0, andmanageContextpassed that through as a success-shaped result.Task.tsemitted thesliding_window_truncationevent withmessagesRemoved: 0, the oversized history was never overwritten, and every retry re-enteredmanageContextover budget — the zero-progress loop described in the issue (parent: #648).Fix — make recovery monotonic and bounded, per the issue's acceptance criteria:
manageContextnow treatsmessagesRemoved === 0as zero progress. Instead of reporting a successful truncation, it degrades in place:shrinkOversizedToolResultsshrinks the largest eligible textualtool_resultblocks first (largest-first so each round frees the most tokens while losing the least information), preserving each block'stool_use_idand shape so thetool_use/tool_resultpair is never orphaned. The keep-size targets the over-budget amount using a chars-per-token ratio measured on the block itself, with a 200-char floor below which a block stops being eligible.newContextTokensAfterTruncation < prevContextTokenson every reported success.manageContextreturns a controllederror/errorDetailsresult (an actionable message naming the budget numbers) instead of emitting another fake truncation event — the existingcondense_context_errorpath inTask.tssurfaces it, and notruncationIdis set, so no misleading truncation UI event is produced.Trade-offs / notes for reviewers:
truncateResult.messages !== this.apiConversationHistoryreference check keeps working and the degraded history is persisted.truncationIdand reportsmessagesRemoved: 0with the lowered token counts, so the existingsliding_window_truncationUI channel reflects real progress (tokens reduced) rather than staying silent.src/utils/tiktoken.tsencodes a whole block in a single WASM call; a pathological multi-MB single-token-run block can makeencoder.encodethrow (RuntimeError: unreachable). The fix here does not depend on that path (the 4 MB test below uses realistic mixed content), but it may deserve its own issue.Test Procedure
Focused vitest coverage added to
src/core/context-management/__tests__/context-management.spec.ts(manageContext fallback recovery for zero-progress truncation):tool_use+ usertool_resultwith a ~4 MB mixed-text payload) over a 100k window with a 30k reserve.
