dsh-compaction-micro
Standalone micro-clear tier for DeepSeek Harness compaction. It clears whitelisted, re-runnable tool results to placeholders at its own microThresholdRatio — below the summarize threshold — so the expensive model-backed summary runs less often. It is an observer: it never mutates the model request, makes no model call, and every rewrite is a single-node tool/result content replacement preceded by a compaction/prune shadow-price event, so the durable log stays the reconstructable source of truth.
Snip (trimming) and full (summarization) stay owned by the official dsh-compaction-tool-result-pruner and dsh-compaction-basic.
Composition
Mount this bundle before dsh-compaction-basic. Its agent/pre-step and agent/request-error listeners are registered with prepend: true, so they run first regardless of mount order:
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-token-meter'
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-compaction-tool-result-pruner'
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-compaction-basic'
config:
thresholdRatio: 0.9
- name: 'dsh-compaction-micro'
config:
clearableTools: [read, glob, grep, web_search, web_fetch]
retainRecent: 3
microThresholdRatio: 0.85
reservedTokens: 0How it works
agent/pre-step(prepend): measure pressure; whentotalTokens >= floor((contextWindow - reservedTokens) × microThresholdRatio), clear whitelisted tool results oldest-first, retaining the newestretainRecentvisible. The official backend then re-measures the smaller surface and skips summarization when the clear already relieved enough pressure.agent/request-error(prepend): on a confirmed context overflow, clear whitelisted results first, then delegate to the official prune + summarize + retry.
Configuration
| Field | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
clearableTools |
[] |
Tool names whose results the micro tier may clear. Empty disables the tier. Only list read-only, re-runnable tools — the service does not verify that property. |
retainRecent |
3 |
Newest clearable results always retained visible. |
microThresholdRatio |
0.85 |
Clear at this fraction of the effective window. Must be in (0, 1]. |
reservedTokens |
0 |
Tokens subtracted from the routed context window before scaling the threshold. |
auto |
true |
Install the automatic listeners; false exposes only ctx.microCompaction.clearSession(). |
The whitelist is operator-owned and is the safety gate: read/glob/grep and read-only web tools are the intended members; write, edit, shell, subprocess, and workflow tools must stay out.
Development
Build against a local DeepSeek Harness checkout by junctioning its workspace packages into node_modules/@deepseek-ai (see the checkout's packages/*/* and vendor/*), then:
npm run typecheck # tsc -p tsconfig.json --noEmit
node --import tsx --test tests/micro.test.tsRuntime smoke (from the DSH checkout):
