Compaction UI Notification Bug Found
Router doesn't forward auto_compact_end event to dashboard, breaking the overlay
Output
š Found: Compaction UI Notification Bug
Root Cause
The auto_compact_end event is not being forwarded from konsole to the dashboard. This means:
- ā Overlay shows "Compacting..." but never disappears
- ā Status bar stays purple forever
- ā Console line only shows start, not completion
Evidence
// konsole/src/stream.ts:639 - SENDS the event: sendEvent(controller, encoder, { type: "auto_compact_end", durationMs }); // konui/src/router.ts:368 - Only forwards start, NOT end: case "auto_compact": consoleWebSocket.sendEvent(client, { type: "auto_compact" }); break; // ā NO case "auto_compact_end": exists!
Missing Event Handlers in Router
konui/src/router.ts needs: 1. auto_compact_end # Ends the overlay, shows duration 2. system_reminder # Optional: for debugging post-compaction
The Fix
Add the missing case in both switch statements (WebSocket path @ ~368 and SSE path @ ~2666):
case "auto_compact_end": consoleWebSocket.sendEvent(client, { type: "auto_compact_end", durationMs: event.durationMs }); break;
What Was Working
The client-side UI code is correct:
- ā
console-event-handler.ts:504- Handlesauto_compact_end - ā
console-sm-transitions.ts:245- Transitions state on end - ā
console-state-effects.ts:126- Hides overlay - ā
views/layout.ts:3469- Overlay CSS is correct
The bug was introduced when the WebSocket streaming architecture was added - the event forwarding was incomplete.
Files to Modify
konui/src/ āāā router.ts:368 # WebSocket path - add auto_compact_end āāā router.ts:2666 # SSE path - add auto_compact_end
š” This also explains why the console line š Compaction complete (X.Xs) never appears - that's printed in the handler for auto_compact_end which never fires because the event never arrives.
