Summary

• Raise the default total bootstrap injection cap from 24,000 to 150,000 chars while keeping the per-file cap at 20,000.
• Keep strict per-file and total cap behavior when truncating injected bootstrap context.
• Improve system prompt reporting to include bootstrapTotalMaxChars and detect truncation from injected-vs-raw chars.
• Extend /context output to show both max/file and max/total, and add an explicit warning when bootstrap files are truncated due to configured limits.
• Update docs/help/changelog to reflect the new total default and the improved context visibility.

Why

• The previous default total cap was too tight for many real bootstrap setups and caused avoidable truncation.
• Operators need clear visibility when truncation happens, including likely causes and how to adjust limits.

Scope

• Agents bootstrap context limits and reporting
• /context command output and warning UX
• Config/docs/changelog alignment
• Targeted tests for report and warning behavior

Verification

• pnpm check
• pnpm vitest run src/agents/system-prompt-report.test.ts
• pnpm vitest run --config vitest.e2e.config.ts src/agents/pi-embedded-helpers.buildbootstrapcontextfiles.e2e.test.ts
• pnpm vitest run src/auto-reply/reply/commands-context-report.test.ts

Greptile Summary

Raises the default bootstrapTotalMaxChars from 24,000 to 150,000 chars to reduce unintended truncation of bootstrap context files while keeping the per-file limit at 20,000 chars. Improves observability by:

• Adding bootstrapTotalMaxChars to system prompt reports and /context command output
• Detecting truncation by comparing injected vs raw character counts instead of just checking against per-file limit
• Displaying explicit warnings in /context when bootstrap files are truncated, with clear causes (per-file overflow vs total overflow)

The implementation is consistent across:

• Core bootstrap logic (src/agents/pi-embedded-helpers/bootstrap.ts:86)
• System prompt reporting (src/agents/system-prompt-report.ts:59,121)
• Context command output (src/auto-reply/reply/commands-context-report.ts:65,176,263-287)
• All documentation (6 doc files updated with new default)
• Test coverage for new behavior and warning display

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• The change is a well-scoped configuration default adjustment with comprehensive test coverage and documentation. All callers properly thread the new parameter through, truncation detection logic is improved to be more accurate, and the implementation maintains backward compatibility by making the parameter optional everywhere it's used.
• No files require special attention
