I've found compactation kills the whole thing. Important debug steps completely missing and the AI loops back round thinking it's found a solution when we've already done that step.

I find it useful to make Claude track the debugging session with a markdown file. It’s like a persistent memory for a long session over many context windows.

Or make a subagent do the debugging and let the main agent orchestrate it over many subagent sessions.

For me, Claude was like that until about 2m ago. Now it rarely gets dumb after compaction like it did before.
