+Native Codex eligibility derives from the actual Pi provider/API. Gateways additionally need the exact transport opt-in below. `remote-windows` keeps the Remote Window state persisted when a model without window capability is selected: that model receives only the current local window, while retired/managed Remote Context history is excluded from live requests and compaction producers. A no-summary boundary preserves the marker for later reuse. A configured window model whose activation fails does not silently receive a summary fallback. Normal `new_context` keeps its persisted-notes, duplicate and cooldown gates. Synthetic Remote V2 producer/consumer identity and checkpoint provenance are unchanged. See [Toolkit internals](internals.md).
 
 In active `remote-windows`, `/compact [instructions]` starts checkpoint duty rather than producing a summary. The selected model must authenticate to the same native backend/account or gateway credential/affinity domain, fit the projected window plus its output reserve, and retain the required permitted context tools. Invalid or unsuitable explicit targets are refused without switching to a fallback model. If Auto Mode is engaged, the target must also be eligible for its gate. The entire handoff uses the initiating context-policy snapshot; no config or global Pi defaults are rewritten.

@@ -94,9 +94,9 @@ State invariants the lifecycle code must keep honest:
 - Budget checks are skipped until the current window has produced its own assistant usage. Acting on the previous window's usage anchor would burn the once-per-window reminder on a false alarm.
 - Preparing a boundary never consumes its scheduled trim. The manager reconciles the latest persisted compaction and branch state, so only a durable matching boundary consumes it. Missing/late callbacks, aborted preparation and navigation across branches sharing a marker remain retryable. Automatic threshold/overflow and toolkit-owned manual maintenance only trim a matching scheduled window; a user manual `/compact` follows the managed handoff below.
 - A window boundary is persisted as a `codex-context-window` custom message. `session_start` replays boundaries from the branch and rebuilds identity after forks.
-- Retiring windows is a projection-level act: the session branch keeps every retired window until a compaction consumes the scheduled trim. `evaluateWindowBulk()` measures that gap and compares it with the model about to receive it, `decideBulkCliffAction()` maps the report onto the `leaveManagedMode` policy (`warn` default, `compact`), and `decideBulkCloseOut()` only allows the automatic compaction where a compaction can actually finish: never in print mode (the process exits with the turn and would kill the summary), and at turn end only while a rollover trim is queued, because the window policy cancels every other compaction. Each window and model is surfaced once, and every decision writes a `window-bulk.<action>` compaction artifact with its trigger.
-- The close-out runs from `model_select` and `agent_settled`, never from `before_agent_start`: `ExtensionContext.compact()` aborts the running turn, and a hook inside turn processing is exactly the busy lane it must not fight.
-- A configured native-fallback summary model is checked against the size of the request Pi is about to send it (`estimateSummarizationRequest`). A narrower summary model than the active one - 272k summarizing a 400k session - returns `model-window-too-small` before authentication or the model call, so the current model gets the first attempt instead of a terminated stream.
+- Retiring windows remains a projection-level operation in the persisted branch, but a non-window consumer never receives that retired history. `context_with_system` trims to the latest persisted Remote Context boundary, preserves the current system/tool head, and removes the internal window marker before the local provider request. The legacy `leaveManagedMode` setting is retained only so old config files remain valid; it no longer warns or starts a bulk close-out from `model_select` or `agent_settled`.
+- If a non-window consumer reaches `session_before_compact` while a Remote Context boundary exists, the extension returns a no-summary compaction anchored at that boundary. No Remote V2/native compaction producer receives the Remote window, Pi retains the marker and current-window tail, and switching back to a supported model reuses the persisted window identity. A session with no Remote boundary keeps the ordinary compaction path.
+- The configured native-fallback summary model is still checked against the physical request size (`estimateSummarizationRequest`). The guard remains a provider-safety invariant; the Remote-window fix avoids the oversized request by excluding managed history before any compaction producer can be called, rather than removing the guard or chunking the request.
