Recommended action: Send exactly one (newest) compaction block, first in messages, byte-for-byte as returned including signature; answer pending tool calls before compacting; retry 529 compaction_unavailable.
Option: Branch on error.details.error_code [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / on-demand compaction (compact-2026-09-04 beta)
Steps:
1. Read error.details.error_code
2. misplaced: drop messages before the block
3. signature/content: resend the untouched block
4. nothing_to_summarize: include at least one user/assistant message
5. unavailable (529): retry with backoff
Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
