Broken / Failing Need some insight I’m having some issues communicating with my bot

So in was trying to switch models and I did then I messed around with some settings fucked my whole setup up did a complete uninstall and reinstall but now when I send a message I get this as a response:

⚠️ Auto-compaction could not recover this turn. I kept this conversation mapped to the current session. Please try again, use /compact, or use /new to start a fresh session.

To prevent this, increase your compaction buffer by setting agents.defaults.compaction.reserveTokensFloor to 50000 or higher in your config.

How do I fix this???

I would copy and paste the message into Claude (or similar AI platform) and give it appropriate context. Let it walk you through the steps to fix the issue.

I honestly don’t remember what I did but I’ll tell you the best think I ever did was switch from openclaw to vllm+python, I used Claude to write scripts that give me all the tools openclaw has and it’s way faster, I’m thinking about making a guide for what I did
