I am describing a concrete problem or use case, not just a vague idea.

Problem or use case
UX suggestion, on the left of the image we have the message blocks that indicate your messages in the timeline. It would be nice to also visualise the compaction windows there
Proposed solution
a set of vertical bar parallel to the message indicators that start and end on window edges
Why this matters
This would provide a visual indicator of the token density of the conversation, helps to know when to ask the model to refresh context after too many compaction events.
Smallest useful scope
One extra UI element that shows a line across messages in a window
Alternatives considered
A counter inside the context indicator, but that makes it harder to correlate messages to a window
enhancementRequested improvement or new capability.needs-triageIssue needs maintainer review and initial categorization.
