-On a later compaction the previous checkpoint is merged with the new turns instead of being summarized again from scratch.
+The summarizer aims for about 1,500 words. On a later compaction the previous checkpoint is merged with the new turns at about its previous length, condensing the oldest finished work first. Only its model-written sections are sent back; the computed sections below are regenerated each time.
 
 After the model's text, the extension appends sections it computes itself:
 
-- files read and files written or edited, accumulated across compactions;
+- files read and files written or edited, accumulated across compactions in recency order and capped at the 40 most recently read and 60 most recently changed;
 - uncommitted files from `git status`, with lockfiles, minified bundles, and build output listed separately and kept out of the diff;
 - running background terminals, so the next turn does not start a duplicate server;
+- background subagents that have not reported back, with a note not to poll, relaunch, or duplicate them;
 - a bounded uncommitted diff (16,000 characters, shared across files) with previews of untracked files, or a marker when worktree state is unavailable.
