+# Compaction & Branch Summarization
+
+LLMs have limited context windows. When conversations grow too long, Pi uses compaction to summarize older content while preserving recent work. This page covers both auto-compaction and branch summarization.

+
+## Overview
+
+Pi has two summarization mechanisms:
+
+| Mechanism | Trigger | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Compaction | Context exceeds threshold, or `/compact` | Summarize old messages to free up context |
+| Branch summarization | `/tree` navigation | Preserve context when switching branches |
+
+Both use the same structured summary format and track file operations cumulatively. Compaction and branch-summary requests use fresh routing session IDs and, where supported by the provider, disable prompt-cache writes because these one-off prompts are unlikely to be reused.
+
+## Compaction
+
+### When It Triggers
+
+Auto-compaction triggers when:
+
+```
+contextTokens > contextWindow - reserveTokens
+```
+
+By default, `reserveTokens` is 16384 tokens (configurable in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` or `<project-dir>/.pi/settings.json`). This leaves room for the LLM's response.
+
+During a multi-turn agent run, Pi checks this threshold after tools finish and their results are appended, before starting the next assistant response. If the threshold is crossed, Pi compacts inside the same agent run and resumes with the summary and retained messages. It skips this between-turn check when the completed tool batch terminates the run and no queued message requires another response. Pi also checks the threshold before a new user prompt and after a low-level agent run ends.
+
+You can also trigger manually with `/compact [instructions]`, where optional instructions focus the summary.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Find cut point**: Walk backwards from newest message, accumulating token estimates until `keepRecentTokens` (default 20k, configurable in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` or `<project-dir>/.pi/settings.json`) is reached
+2. **Extract messages**: Collect messages from the previous kept boundary (or session start) up to the cut point
+3. **Generate summary**: Call LLM to summarize with structured format, passing the previous summary as iterative context when present
+4. **Append entry**: Save `CompactionEntry` with summary and `firstKeptEntryId`
+5. **Rebuilds context**: Session rebuilds the context for the next request, using summary + messages from `firstKeptEntryId` onwards
+
+```
+Before compaction:
+
+  entry:  0     1     2     3      4     5     6      7      8     9
+        ┌─────┬─────┬─────┬──────┬─────┬─────┬──────┬──────┬─────┬─────┐
+        │ hdr │ usr │ ass │ tool │ usr │ ass │ tool │ tool │ ass │ tool│
+        └─────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴──────┴─────┴─────┘
+                └────────┬───────┘ └──────────────┬──────────────┘
+               messagesToSummarize            kept messages
+                                   ↑
+                          firstKeptEntryId (entry 4)
+
+After compaction (new entry appended):
+
+  entry:  0     1     2     3      4     5     6      7      8     9     10

+        │ hdr │ usr │ ass │ tool │ usr │ ass │ tool │ tool │ ass │ tool│ cmp │
+        └─────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴──────┴─────┴─────┴─────┘
+               └──────────┬──────┘ └──────────────────────┬───────────────────┘
+                 not sent to LLM                    sent to LLM
+                                                         ↑
+                                              starts from firstKeptEntryId
+
+What the LLM sees:
+
+  ┌────────┬─────────┬─────┬─────┬──────┬──────┬─────┬──────┐
+  │ system │ summary │ usr │ ass │ tool │ tool │ ass │ tool │
+  └────────┴─────────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴──────┴─────┴──────┘
+       ↑         ↑      └─────────────────┬────────────────┘
+    prompt   from cmp          messages from firstKeptEntryId
+```
+
+On repeated compactions, the summarized span starts at the previous compaction's kept boundary (`firstKeptEntryId`), not at the compaction entry itself, falling back to the entry after the previous compaction if that kept entry cannot be found in the path. This preserves messages that survived the earlier compaction by including them in the next summarization pass as well. Pi also recalculates `tokensBefore` from the rebuilt session context before writing the new `CompactionEntry`, so the token count reflects the actual pre-compaction context being replaced.
+
+### Split Turns
+
+A "turn" starts with a user message and includes all assistant responses and tool calls until the next user message. Normally, compaction cuts at turn boundaries.
+
+When a single turn exceeds `keepRecentTokens`, the cut point lands mid-turn at an assistant message. This is a "split turn":
+
+```
+Split turn (one huge turn exceeds budget):
+
+  entry:  0     1     2      3     4      5      6     7      8
+        ┌─────┬─────┬─────┬──────┬─────┬──────┬──────┬─────┬──────┐
+        │ hdr │ usr │ ass │ tool │ ass │ tool │ tool │ ass │ tool │
+        └─────┴─────┴─────┴──────┴─────┴──────┴──────┴─────┴──────┘
+                ↑                                     ↑
+         turnStartIndex = 1                  firstKeptEntryId = 7
+                │                                     │
+                └──── turnPrefixMessages (1-6) ───────┘
+                                                      └── kept (7-8)
+
+  isSplitTurn = true
+  messagesToSummarize = []  (no complete turns before)
+  turnPrefixMessages = [usr, ass, tool, ass, tool, tool]
+```
+
+For split turns, Pi generates two summaries and merges them:
+
+1. **History summary**: Previous context (if any)
+2. **Turn prefix summary**: The early part of the split turn
+
+### Cut Point Rules
+
+Valid cut points are:
+
+- User messages
+- Assistant messages
+- BashExecution messages
+- Custom messages (custom\_message, branch\_summary)
+
+Never cut at tool results (they must stay with their tool call).
+
+### CompactionEntry Structure
+
+Defined in [`session-manager.ts`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/session-manager.ts):
+
+```
+interface CompactionEntry<T = unknown> {
+  type: "compaction";
+  id: string;
+  parentId: string;
+  timestamp: number;
+  summary: string;
+  firstKeptEntryId: string;
+  tokensBefore: number;
+  usage?: Usage;       // LLM usage that generated the summary
+  fromHook?: boolean;  // true if provided by extension (legacy field name)
+  details?: T;         // implementation-specific data
+}
+
+// Default compaction uses this for details (from compaction.ts):
+interface CompactionDetails {
+  readFiles: string[];
+  modifiedFiles: string[];
+}
+```
+
+Extensions can store any JSON-serializable data in `details`. The default compaction tracks file operations, but custom extension implementations can use their own structure. Generated and extension-provided summaries store their LLM `usage` when available so session totals include summarization work.
+
+See [`prepareCompaction()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/compaction.ts) and [`compact()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/compaction.ts) for the implementation. For direct programmatic summarization, `generateSummary()` returns the summary text and `generateSummaryWithUsage()` returns `{ text, usage }`.
+
+## Branch Summarization
+
+### When It Triggers
+
+When you use `/tree` to navigate to a different branch, Pi offers to summarize the work you're leaving. This injects context from the left branch into the new branch.
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Find common ancestor**: Deepest node shared by old and new positions
+2. **Collect entries**: Walk from old leaf back to common ancestor
+3. **Prepare with budget**: Include messages up to token budget (newest first)
+4. **Generate summary**: Call LLM with structured format
+5. **Append entry**: Save `BranchSummaryEntry` at navigation point
+
+```
+Tree before navigation:
+
+         ┌─ B ─ C ─ D (old leaf, being abandoned)
+    A ───┤
+         └─ E ─ F (target)
+
+Common ancestor: A
+Entries to summarize: B, C, D
+
+After navigation with summary:
+
+         ┌─ B ─ C ─ D
+    A ───┤
+         └─ E ─ F ─ [summary of B,C,D] (new leaf)
+```
+
+### Cumulative File Tracking
+
+Both compaction and branch summarization track files cumulatively. When generating a summary, pi extracts file operations from:
+
+- Tool calls in the messages being summarized
+- Previous compaction or branch summary `details` (if any)
+
+This means file tracking accumulates across multiple compactions or nested branch summaries, preserving the full history of read and modified files.
+
+### BranchSummaryEntry Structure
+
+Defined in [`session-manager.ts`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/session-manager.ts):
+
+```
+interface BranchSummaryEntry<T = unknown> {
+  type: "branch_summary";
+  id: string;
+  parentId: string;
+  timestamp: number;
+  summary: string;
+  fromId: string;      // Entry we navigated from
+  usage?: Usage;       // LLM usage that generated the summary
+  fromHook?: boolean;  // true if provided by extension (legacy field name)
+  details?: T;         // implementation-specific data
+}
+
+// Default branch summarization uses this for details (from branch-summarization.ts):
+interface BranchSummaryDetails {
+  readFiles: string[];
+  modifiedFiles: string[];
+}
+```
+
+Same as compaction, extensions can store custom data in `details`.
+
+See [`collectEntriesForBranchSummary()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/branch-summarization.ts), [`prepareBranchEntries()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/branch-summarization.ts), and [`generateBranchSummary()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/branch-summarization.ts) for the implementation.
+
+## Summary Format
+
+Both compaction and branch summarization use the same structured format:
+
+```
+## Goal
+[What the user is trying to accomplish]
+
+## Constraints & Preferences
+- [Requirements mentioned by user]
+
+## Progress
+### Done
+- [x] [Completed tasks]
+
+### In Progress
+- [ ] [Current work]
+
+### Blocked
+- [Issues, if any]
+
+## Key Decisions
+- **[Decision]**: [Rationale]
+
+## Next Steps
+1. [What should happen next]
+
+## Critical Context
+- [Data needed to continue]
+
+<read-files>
+path/to/file1.ts
+path/to/file2.ts
+</read-files>
+
+<modified-files>
+path/to/changed.ts
+</modified-files>
+```
+
+### Message Serialization
+
+Before summarization, messages are serialized to text via [`serializeConversation()`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/compaction/utils.ts):
+
+```
+[User]: What they said
+[Assistant thinking]: Internal reasoning
+[Assistant]: Response text
+[Assistant tool calls]: read(path="foo.ts"); edit(path="bar.ts", ...)
+[Tool result]: Output from tool
+```
+
+This prevents the model from treating it as a conversation to continue.
+
+Tool results are truncated to 2000 characters during serialization. Content beyond that limit is replaced with a marker indicating how many characters were truncated. This keeps summarization requests within reasonable token budgets, since tool results (especially from `read` and `bash`) are typically the largest contributors to context size.
+
+## Custom Summarization via Extensions
+
+Extensions can intercept and customize both compaction and branch summarization. See [`extensions/types.ts`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi-mono/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/src/core/extensions/types.ts) for event type definitions.
+
+### session\_before\_compact
+
+Fired before auto-compaction or `/compact`. Can cancel or provide custom summary. See `SessionBeforeCompactEvent` and `CompactionPreparation` in the types file.
+
+```
+pi.on("session_before_compact", async (event, ctx) => {
+  const { preparation, branchEntries, customInstructions, reason, willRetry, signal } = event;
+
+  // preparation.messagesToSummarize - messages to summarize
+  // preparation.turnPrefixMessages - split turn prefix (if isSplitTurn)
+  // preparation.previousSummary - previous compaction summary
+  // preparation.fileOps - extracted file operations
+  // preparation.tokensBefore - context tokens before compaction
+  // preparation.firstKeptEntryId - where kept messages start
+  // preparation.settings - compaction settings
+
+  // branchEntries - all entries on current branch (for custom state)
+  // reason - "manual" (/compact), "threshold", or "overflow"
+  // willRetry - whether the aborted turn is retried after compaction (overflow recovery)
+  // signal - AbortSignal (pass to LLM calls)
+
+  // Cancel:
+  return { cancel: true };
+
+  // Custom summary:
+  return {
+    compaction: {
+      summary: "Your summary...",
+      firstKeptEntryId: preparation.firstKeptEntryId,
+      tokensBefore: preparation.tokensBefore,
+      // usage: summaryResponse.usage, // Optional; included in session totals
+      details: { /* custom data */ },
+    }
+  };
+});
+```
+
+#### Converting Messages to Text
+
+To generate a summary with your own model, convert messages to text using `serializeConversation`:
+
+```
+import { convertToLlm, serializeConversation } from "@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent";
+
+pi.on("session_before_compact", async (event, ctx) => {
+  const { preparation } = event;
+  
+  // Convert AgentMessage[] to Message[], then serialize to text
+  const conversationText = serializeConversation(
+    convertToLlm(preparation.messagesToSummarize)
+  );
+  // Returns:
+  // [User]: message text
+  // [Assistant thinking]: thinking content
+  // [Assistant]: response text
+  // [Assistant tool calls]: read(path="..."); bash(command="...")
+  // [Tool result]: output text
+
+  // Now send to your model for summarization
+  const { summary, usage } = await myModel.summarize(conversationText);
+  
+  return {
+    compaction: {
+      summary,
+      firstKeptEntryId: preparation.firstKeptEntryId,
+      tokensBefore: preparation.tokensBefore,
+      usage,
+    }
+  };
+});
+```
+
+See [custom-compaction.ts](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/custom-compaction.ts) for a complete example using a different model.
+
+### session\_compact\_failed
+
+Fired when manual or automatic compaction fails or is aborted. This is useful for telemetry extensions that need to pair `session_before_compact` attempts with terminal outcomes.
+
+```
+pi.on("session_compact_failed", async (event, ctx) => {
+  const { reason, errorMessage, aborted, willRetry, fromExtension } = event;
+  // reason - "manual" (/compact), "threshold", or "overflow"
+  // errorMessage - present for non-abort failures
+  // aborted - true for cancelled/aborted compactions
+  // willRetry - whether the aborted turn would have retried after compaction
+  // fromExtension - whether extension-provided compaction content was being used
+});
+```
+
+### session\_before\_tree
+
+Fired before `/tree` navigation. Always fires regardless of whether user chose to summarize. Can cancel navigation or provide custom summary.
+
+```
+pi.on("session_before_tree", async (event, ctx) => {
+  const { preparation, signal } = event;
+
+  // preparation.targetId - where we're navigating to
+  // preparation.oldLeafId - current position (being abandoned)
+  // preparation.commonAncestorId - shared ancestor
+  // preparation.entriesToSummarize - entries that would be summarized
+  // preparation.userWantsSummary - whether user chose to summarize
+
+  // Cancel navigation entirely:
+  return { cancel: true };
+
+  // Provide custom summary (only used if userWantsSummary is true):
+  if (preparation.userWantsSummary) {
+    return {
+      summary: {
+        summary: "Your summary...",
+        // usage: summaryResponse.usage, // Optional; included in session totals
+        details: { /* custom data */ },
+      }
+    };
+  }
+});
+```
+
+See `SessionBeforeTreeEvent` and `TreePreparation` in the types file.
+
+## Settings
+
+Configure compaction in `~/.pi/agent/settings.json` or `<project-dir>/.pi/settings.json`:
+
+```
+{
+  "compaction": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "reserveTokens": 16384,
+    "keepRecentTokens": 20000
+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Setting | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | `true` | Enable auto-compaction |
+| `reserveTokens` | `16384` | Tokens to reserve for LLM response |
+| `keepRecentTokens` | `20000` | Recent tokens to keep (not summarized) |
+
+Disable auto-compaction with `"enabled": false`. You can still compact manually with `/compact`.

+
+# Containerization
+
+Pi runs with all permissions by default, but in some cases, you will want to have more control over what directories Pi can write to and which accesses it has.
+
+There are two general options. You can either
+
+1. run the whole `pi` process inside an isolated environment, or
+2. run `pi` on the host and route tool execution into an isolated environment.
+
+## Choose a pattern
+
+| Pattern | What is isolated | Best for | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Gondolin extension | Built-in tools and `!` commands | Local micro-VM isolation while keeping auth on host | See [`examples/extensions/gondolin/`](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin). |
+| Plain Docker | Whole `pi` process in a local container | Simple local isolation | Provider API keys enter the container. |
+| OpenShell | Whole `pi` process in a policy-controlled sandbox | Local or remote managed sandbox | Requires an OpenShell gateway |
+| Docker Sandboxes | Whole `pi` process in a managed sandbox | Local isolation with provider keys kept on the host | Requires Docker Sandboxes (`sbx`). |
+
+Extensions run wherever the `pi` process runs. If you run host `pi` with a tool-routing extension, other custom extension tools still run on the host unless they also delegate their operations.
+
+## Gondolin
+
+[Gondolin](https://github.com/earendil-works/gondolin) is a local Linux micro-VM.
+Use the [example extension](https://github.com/earendil-works/pi/blob/main/packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin) when you want `pi` on the host but all built-in tools routed into the VM.
+
+Setup:
+
+```
+cp -R packages/coding-agent/examples/extensions/gondolin ~/.pi/agent/extensions/gondolin
+cd ~/.pi/agent/extensions/gondolin
+npm install --ignore-scripts
+```
+
+Run from the project you want mounted:
+
+```
+cd /path/to/project
+pi -e ~/.pi/agent/extensions/gondolin
+```
+
+The extension mounts the host cwd at `/workspace` in the VM and overrides `read`, `write`, `edit`, `bash`, `grep`, `find`, and `ls`.
+User `!` commands are routed into the VM, as well.
+File changes under `/workspace` write through to the host.
+
+Requirements: Node.js >= 23.6.0 for `@earendil-works/gondolin`, plus QEMU (requires installation through your package manager).
+
+## Plain Docker
+
+Run the whole `pi` process in Docker when you want the simplest local container boundary.
+
+`Dockerfile.pi`:
+
+```
+FROM node:24-bookworm-slim
+
+RUN apt-get update \
+  && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends bash ca-certificates git ripgrep \
+  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
+RUN npm install -g --ignore-scripts @earendil-works/pi-coding-agent
+
+WORKDIR /workspace
+ENTRYPOINT ["pi"]
+```
+
+Build and run:
+
+```
+docker build -t pi-sandbox -f Dockerfile.pi .
+
+docker run --rm -it \
+  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY \
+  -v "$PWD:/workspace" \
+  -v pi-agent-home:/root/.pi/agent \
+  pi-sandbox
+```
+
+The `-v "$PWD:/workspace"` mounts your current directory into the container at /workspace such that reads and writes in `/workspace` inside Docker directly affect your host files, like in the Gondolin example.
+
+Use a named volume for `/root/.pi/agent` if you want container-local settings and sessions. Mounting your host `~/.pi/agent` exposes host auth and session files to the container.
+
+## OpenShell
+
+Use [NVIDIA OpenShell](https://docs.nvidia.com/openshell/about/overview) when you want a policy-controlled sandbox with filesystem, process, network, credential, and inference controls.
+OpenShell can run sandboxes through a local gateway backed by Docker, Podman, or a VM runtime, or through a remote Kubernetes gateway.
+
+Every sandbox requires an active gateway.
+Register and select one before creating a sandbox:
+
+```
+openshell gateway add <gateway-url> --name <name>
+openshell gateway select <name>
+```
+
+Launch `pi` inside an OpenShell sandbox:
+
+```
+openshell sandbox create --name pi-sandbox --from pi -- pi
+```
+
+In this pattern, the whole `pi` process runs inside the sandbox.
+Built-in tools, `!` commands, and extension tools execute inside the OpenShell boundary.
+
+If the gateway is remote, project files are not bind-mounted from the host, meaning writes in the sandbox are not reflected on your machine.
+Clone the repository inside the sandbox or use OpenShell file transfer commands:
+
+```
+openshell sandbox upload pi-sandbox ./repo /workspace
+openshell sandbox download pi-sandbox /workspace/repo ./repo-out
+```
+
+OpenShell providers can keep raw model API keys outside the sandbox.
+When inference routing is configured, code inside the sandbox can call `https://inference.local`, and the gateway injects the configured provider credentials upstream.
+Configure Pi to use the corresponding OpenAI-compatible or Anthropic-compatible endpoint if you want model traffic to use this route.
+
+## Docker Sandboxes
+
+[Docker Sandboxes](https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/) is a managed sandbox runtime from Docker that runs the whole `pi` process inside a sandbox.
+It is one of the container boundaries [No Built-in Sandbox](/docs/latest/security#no-built-in-sandbox) points to.
+
+Unlike the Plain Docker pattern above, the provider credential is not passed into the container.
+The sandbox receives a sentinel value instead, and the `sbx` proxy substitutes the real credential on egress to `api.anthropic.com`.
+Credentials are wired at creation time, so store yours on the host before you create the sandbox.
+
+For a Claude Pro/Max subscription, run `claude setup-token` on a machine with Claude Code, then store the result on the host.
+If an `anthropic` secret is already bound, remove it first: otherwise the proxy adds an `x-api-key` header alongside the Bearer token and Anthropic rejects the request.
+`sbx secret set-custom` reads the token from stdin, so it stays out of shell history.
+
+```
+sbx secret rm anthropic
+
+sbx secret set-custom \
+  --host api.anthropic.com \
+  --env ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN \
+  --placeholder 'sk-ant-oat01-{rand}'
+```
+
+The sandbox gets an OAuth-shaped placeholder, not the real token, and the proxy swaps it on egress to that host; `ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN` is a variable pi already reads and prefers over an API key, so no extra pi configuration is needed.
+
+For an API key, store it with `sbx secret set anthropic` instead. The kit wires it the same way, as a sentinel the proxy substitutes on egress.
+
+With the credential stored, launch `pi` from the project you want mounted:
+
+```
+sbx run --kit "docker.io/sbx/pi-kit:latest" pi
+```
+
+The kit pre-bakes `pi` into its image, so the sandbox starts without installing anything, and the current directory is the sandbox workspace.
+
+Do not authenticate from inside the sandbox: `/login` there writes a real token into the container and defeats the proxy model.
+
+Scripted use works the same way:
+
+```
+sbx exec <sandbox-name> -- pi -p "list the failing tests"
+```
+
+See the [kit documentation](https://github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib/tree/main/pi) for the full credential matrix, troubleshooting, and pinning.
