SummarizingConversationManager
Defined in: src/conversation-manager/summarizing-conversation-manager.ts:80
Implements a summarization strategy for managing conversation history.
When a ContextWindowOverflowError occurs, this manager summarizes the oldest messages using a model call and replaces them with a single summary message, preserving context that would otherwise be lost.

Section titled “Methods”initAgent()
Section titled “initAgent()”initAgent(agent): void;Defined in: src/conversation-manager/conversation-manager.ts:100
Initialize the conversation manager with the agent instance.
Registers overflow recovery: when a ContextWindowOverflowError occurs,
calls ConversationManager.reduce and retries the model call if reduction succeeded.
If reduce returns false, the error propagates out of the agent loop uncaught.
Subclasses that need proactive management MUST call super.initAgent(agent) to
preserve this overflow recovery behavior.
