“Auto-compact triggers on token thresholds, but accumulated images/attachments (base64) add far more request bytes than tokens.”

Sessions exceed request byte limit without auto-compacting, leaving conversation unrecover. Accumulated images, attachments and tool results push the request past a fixed byte limit while token usage looks healthy; retry and summary requests fail too.
