+### Model-window context compaction
+
+OpenKyrozen estimates the complete model-visible prompt before every foreground
+model call and reserves 4,096 response tokens. It compacts only when that
+input would exceed the active model's declared context window—not at a fixed
+character count. DeepSeek V4, Gemini 2.5 Flash/Pro, Claude Sonnet 4, GPT-4o,
+and Llama 3.2 have built-in windows. For a custom model, set an explicit
+window with the encrypted provider configuration's `context_window_tokens`
+value or:
+
+```bash
+export KYROZEN_CONTEXT_WINDOW_TOKENS=128000
+```
+
+Unknown models are never proactively compacted. If their provider reports a
+recognized context overflow, OpenKyrozen compacts older conversation/tool
+results with the active chat model and retries the original request once. The
+newest complete turns, fixed instructions, and pending work are retained. If
+the summary call fails, only the oldest compactable entries are trimmed and an
+untrusted omission marker is kept. The web header always shows a token meter;
+expand it for estimated category sizes, reserve, source labels, and the latest
+compaction result. Prompt, memory, and instruction text are never displayed.
