To preserve TODO task state across context compaction, you must write structured mission state and progress details into the active session directory rather than relying on conversation memory. This ensures sub-task details survive summarization.

Checkpoint-based session recovery works by generating scheduled checkpoints of your mission state and resuming deterministically from the latest verified checkpoint. This prevents implementation progress from being lost during long-running agent workflows.

Your agent loses sub-task details because standard context compaction summarizes away active files and implementation status. Without writing self-contained state to a session directory, TODO entries lose their meaning after compression.

Yes, you can resume multi-step feature implementation deterministically by loading a verified checkpoint from the active session directory. This restores mission-critical context without relying on the previous conversation history.

This state persistence mechanism is designed for Qwen Orchestrator runs. It requires writing structured state to the active session directory to ensure your mission and TODO breakdown survive across long-running agent sessions.

Context compaction recovery is the process of preserving mission-critical task state and TODO structure when an LLM context window is summarized. It ensures long-running agent workflows resume from verified checkpoints without losing implementation progress.
