<summary>Deep Dive Into CC Source Code</summary>
> The following is based on analysis of CC source code `compact.ts`, `autoCompact.ts`, `microCompact.ts`, and `query.ts`.
### Execution Order Comparison
The teaching version labels layers L1/L2/L3/L4 for pedagogical clarity, but actual execution order does not match the numbering:
| Dimension | Teaching Version | Claude Code |
|-----------|-----------------|-------------|
| Execution order | budget → snip → micro → auto | budget → snip → micro → collapse → auto (`query.ts:379-468`) |
| snip_compact | Keep head 3 + tail 47 | CC only enables on main thread; implementation not in open-source repo (`HISTORY_SNIP` feature gate), but interface is visible: `snipCompactIfNeeded(messages)``{ messages, tokensFreed, boundaryMessage? }`, also exposes `SnipTool` for model-initiated snipping. Teaching version's 3/47 are simplified parameters |
| micro_compact | Text placeholder replacement | Two paths: time-based clears content directly, cached uses API `cache_edits` (legacy path removed) |
| micro_compact whitelist | By position (most recent 3) | time-based triggers by time threshold; cached triggers by count (`microCompact.ts`) |
| tool_result_budget | 200KB characters | 200,000 characters (`toolLimits.ts:49`) |
| compact_history threshold | Character count estimate | Precise tokens: `contextWindow - maxOutputTokens - 13_000` |
| Summary requirements | 5 categories of info | 9 sections + `<analysis>`/`<summary>` dual tags |
| Compression prompt | Simple prompt | Double-ended hard guardrails forbidding tool calls |
| PTL retry | Yes (simplified) | `truncateHeadForPTLRetry()` retreats by message groups (`compact.ts:243-290`) |
| Post-compaction recovery | None (teaching version only keeps summary) | Auto re-read recent files, plans, agent/skill/tool context |
| Circuit breaker | 3 times | 3 times (`autoCompact.ts:70`) |
| Reactive retry | 1 time | CC has more granular tiered retries |
### Execution Order Details
The real order in CC source `query.ts`:
1. `applyToolResultBudget` (L379): persist large results first, ensuring full content is saved
2. `snipCompact` (L403): trim middle messages
3. `microcompact` (L414): old result placeholders
4. `contextCollapse` (L441): independent context management system (not in teaching version)
5. `autoCompact` (L454): LLM full summary
The teaching version's budget → snip → micro order matches this. The teaching version does not have the contextCollapse mechanism.
### read_file Trade-off
The teaching version's `micro_compact` replaces old `tool_result` blocks with placeholders uniformly, including `read_file`. This usually does not affect functional correctness: if the model needs the file contents later, it can read the file again. The cost is an extra tool call and potentially lower prompt cache hit rates.
Claude Code does not solve this with the teaching version's simple rule. It also puts `Read` in the microcompactable tool set, but maintains a separate `readFileState`: repeated reads of unchanged files return `FILE_UNCHANGED_STUB`, and after compaction it restores recently read file contents within a budget (for example, up to 5 files, 5K tokens per file, 50K tokens total). That is a production-level cache and recovery mechanism. The teaching version does not expand into that machinery; it keeps the simpler trade-off of compacting old results and re-reading when needed.
### Full Constant Reference
| Constant | Value | Source File |
|----------|-------|-------------|
| `AUTOCOMPACT_BUFFER_TOKENS` | 13,000 | `autoCompact.ts:62` |
| `MAX_CONSECUTIVE_AUTOCOMPACT_FAILURES` | 3 | `autoCompact.ts:70` |
| `MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS_FOR_SUMMARY` | 20,000 | `autoCompact.ts:30` |
| `POST_COMPACT_TOKEN_BUDGET` | 50,000 | `compact.ts:123` |
| `POST_COMPACT_MAX_FILES_TO_RESTORE` | 5 | `compact.ts:122` |
| `POST_COMPACT_MAX_TOKENS_PER_FILE` | 5,000 | `compact.ts:124` |
| Time micro_compact interval | 60 minutes | `timeBasedMCConfig.ts` |
| `MAX_COMPACT_STREAMING_RETRIES` | 2 | `compact.ts:131` |
### contextCollapse and sessionMemoryCompact
CC source code has two additional mechanisms not covered in this teaching version:
- **contextCollapse**: An independent context management system that, when enabled, suppresses proactive autocompact (`autoCompact.ts:215-222`), with collapse's commit/blocking flow taking over context management. Manual `/compact` and reactive fallback remain independent paths, unaffected by contextCollapse.
- **sessionMemoryCompact**: Before compact_history, CC first attempts a lightweight summary using existing session memory (covered in s09) without calling the LLM. This mechanism becomes clearer after learning s09.
### What Does the Compression Prompt Look Like?
CC's compression prompt has two hard requirements:
1. **Absolutely no tool calls**: It begins with `CRITICAL: Respond with TEXT ONLY. Do NOT call any tools.`, and appends another REMINDER at the end
2. **Analyze first, then summarize**: The model must first reason in an `<analysis>` tag, then output the formal summary in a `<summary>` tag. The analysis is stripped during formatting
### Teaching Version Simplifications Are Intentional
- micro_compact uses text placeholders → we don't have API-level `cache_edits` access
- read_file is not special-cased → the teaching version accepts re-reading when needed instead of introducing readFileState and post-compaction recovery
- Tokens estimated via character count → precise tokenizers are out of scope
- Post-compaction recovery omitted → teaching version only keeps summary, does not auto re-attach files
- Two auxiliary mechanisms not covered → they fall in the 10% detail category
The core design principle, cheap first, expensive last, is fully preserved.
