I'm not familiar with any form of intelligence that does not suffer from a bloated context. If you want to try and improve your workflow, a good place to start is using sub-agents so individual task implementations do not fill up your top level agents context. I used to regularly have to compact and clear, but since using sub-agents for most direct tasks, I hardly do anymore.

1. It's a workaround for context limitations

2. It's the same workarounds we've been doing forever

3. It's indistinguishable from "clear context and re-feed the entire world of relevant info from scratch" we've had forever, just slightly more automated

That's why I don't understand all the "it's new tier" etc. It's all the same issues with all the same workarounds.
