What happened?
If i walk away from a running CLI for an extended period of time, the memory usage grows and when i return i can neither /compress the size back down nor run any commands as the increased memory also leads to context being too long to submit to the API.
What did you expect to happen?
My expectation what that no changes to memory or anything affecting context window would occur while away.
