+## [0.8.26-alpha.8] - 2026-06-07

+### Changed
+
+- Changed manual `/compact` and auto-compaction to use deletion-only context compaction by default, preserving retained transcript content verbatim.
+- Restyled completed context compaction results with the same expandable summary-card treatment as summary compaction.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed the `/context-compact` interactive and workflow-stage slash command; use `/compact` instead.

 ### Compaction
 
-Long sessions can exhaust context windows. Summary compaction summarizes older messages while keeping recent ones.
+Long sessions can exhaust context windows. Compaction now uses deletion-only context compaction by default: the selected model proposes safe deletion targets, Atomic validates them locally, and retained transcript content stays verbatim.
 
-**Manual summary:** `/compact` or `/compact <custom instructions>`
+**Manual:** `/compact` has no prompt arguments.
 
-**Manual verbatim deletion:** `/context-compact` asks the selected model for deletion targets using a fixed internal prompt, validates the plan locally, and applies logical deletions only. It has no prompt arguments; `/context-compact anything` is invalid/ignored rather than treated as instructions.
+**Automatic:** Enabled by default. Triggers on context overflow (recovers and retries) or when approaching the limit (proactive). Configure via `/settings` or `settings.json`. Automatic compaction uses the same verbatim deletion path.
 
-**Automatic:** Enabled by default. Triggers on context overflow (recovers and retries) or when approaching the limit (proactive). Configure via `/settings` or `settings.json`. Automatic compaction remains summary-based.

-Summary compaction is lossy. `/context-compact` preserves retained transcript content verbatim, but the full history still remains in the JSONL file; use `/tree` to revisit. Customize summary compaction behavior via [extensions](#extensions). See [docs/compaction.md](docs/compaction.md) for internals.
