Summary

Hermes in-place compaction archives older turns under the same session id (compacted=1). Android session message loads only sent limit/offset/order, so reopen depended on the server default (historically false) and could show only the compaction summary plus a short active tail. Always request include_compacted=true on Dashboard and Hermes API message pagination so user-visible scrollback matches stored display history.

Changes

• HermesApiClient.getMessages — add include_compacted=true query parameter
• DashboardApiClient.getSessionMessages — add include_compacted=true query parameter
• CHANGELOG.md — Unreleased fixed entry

Verification

• Diff reviewed: query param only on the two message-load clients
• Hygiene: local-stack.sh hygiene-scan clean vs upstream/dev
• Device: after companion server default included compacted, reopen restored full archived scrollback; this client change makes Android independent of server default
• Focused unit/lint not re-run for this two-line query change (N/A rationale: no UI/Compose logic)

Screenshots

No visual change (same transcript UI; more history rows when compacted archive exists).

Compatibility / risk

• Requires Hermes session messages API that accepts include_compacted (already present). Harmless if ignored by older servers.
• Slightly larger transcript payloads after long compacted sessions; pagination still applies.
• Rollback: remove the query parameter.

• Translation changes: N/A
• Server/plugin changes: N/A
• Desktop changes: N/A
• Docs/site changes: N/A
• UI changes were tested on a relevant device — reopen restored full scrollback with server default; client flag is belt-and-suspenders
• Commit messages follow Conventional Commits

🤖 Hermes-Relay automated PR intake

Thanks for addressing compacted session scrollback on Android! This targets dev and includes all template sections, a changelog entry, compatibility/rollback notes, and an explicit rationale for not rerunning lint or focused tests.

The reported hygiene scan and device observation are useful context, but the reopen observation used a changed server default rather than this client flag. Please add the device/emulator and server version details, and either verification of this PR's client against a server default that excludes compacted messages or an explicit note that this check remains outstanding.

A maintainer will review the verification gap and implementation; this automated intake does not establish code correctness.

[ophirhan]

Rebased onto current dev (force-with-lease).

• Kept only the include_compacted query fix (DashboardApiClient + HermesApiClient).
• Dropped the follow-on onnxruntime 1.27 pin commit — that bullet/pin is already on dev.
• Hygiene-scan clean.

Ready for review when CI finishes on the new head.
