Tip: Claude Code's context meter was counting advisor-tool turns at twice their real size, firing auto-compact at half the window
2.1.273 fixes the context meter and auto-compact counting advisor-tool turns at roughly twice their real context size, which made auto-compact fire at about half the real window. If you run tool-heavy sessions and have been watching compaction kick in around 50% with no explanation, upgrading is the fix, not a smaller CLAUDE.md. The same release also stops hook progress and sub-agent activity from re-processing the whole conversation on every update in long sessions.
