## Conversation Summary

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Nice — if one is **sun**, a clean 3-letter pair could be **moon-adjacent** vibes:

- **sol** (Latin sun, thematic sibling)
- **sky** (simple + broad)
- **ray** (sunlight tie-in)
- **zen** (calm/clean ops vibe)
- **orb** (celestial)

My top pick: **ray** — short, memorable, and pairs naturally with **sun**.

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Transcript: “Why does the compaction not work?”

Because the session was switched to `openai/gpt-5.2`, but this environment is authenticated via **Codex OAuth** (works with `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex`), not an `OPENAI_API_KEY` for the regular OpenAI provider.  
So compaction fails when on `openai/gpt-5.2`; switching back to `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex` (or setting `OPENAI_API_KEY`) fixes it.

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Transcript: “You see, we still have an issue.”

Yep — this new error is different: **“Compaction cancelled”** (not auth). That usually means the compaction job was interrupted/aborted before finishing (manual cancel, session switch, restart, or transient backend hiccup).  
If you want, I can walk you through a quick clean retry sequence to stabilize it.

👍 I’m here — send the next one when ready.

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Transcript: “What do you want me to do? Send what?”

Send me **one screenshot or copy-paste** of:
1) the exact command/action you use to trigger compaction, and  
2) the full error line that appears right after.

If easier, just send the terminal block from the attempt and I’ll pinpoint the failure fast.

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Transcript: “I just used the /command/compact.”

Perfect — that helps. Try this clean sequence:

1) switch model to `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex`  
2) wait ~10 seconds (don’t send anything else)  
3) run `/compact` once  
4) wait until it finishes (no model switches mid-run)

If it still says “Compaction cancelled,” it’s likely an interrupt/bug rather than auth — send me that exact line again and I’ll give you the next fix.

assistant: [[reply_to_current]] Transcript: “Same issue.”

Yep — confirmed: this is a **stuck/cancelled compaction path**, not context size (22k/272k is low) and not auth now.  
Fastest fix: restart the backend once (`openclaw gateway restart`), then switch to `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex` and retry `/compact` with no other actions during the run. If it still fails after restart, I’ll help you grab logs and file it as a bug.

So
assistant: [[reply_to_current]] So yeah — at this point I’d do a clean gateway restart first, then retry `/compact` once on `openai-codex/gpt-5.3-codex`.  
If you want, I can guide you step-by-step while you run it and we’ll verify immediately after.
