What issue are you seeing?
compact does time out regulary as soon as the context does run full, auto compact does not work either apparently
due to the regularity this issue occures I suspect a bug, and not an network issue or similar
Message: either normal message with very long context (or long context before, now just a follow up question) or just /compact
Answer: ■ Error running remote compact task: timeout waiting for child process to exit
also the indicator for the context window resets with "/compact" instantly, but it never actually works
What steps can reproduce the bug?
