Context Eviction

Context eviction provides lifecycle-aware pruning of old context in longer shared-session workflows.

OpenClaw exposes the mode and eviction controls below. DeepSeek Harness provides opt-in eviction through its native Cordis plugin, and pi and OpenCode provide opt-in eviction (off by default) through their in-process adapters. See Host Compatibility for the remaining adapters, including Codex's separate opt-in response-chain rebase.

OpenClaw Mode Thresholds

Mode	Eviction	Threshold
Conservative	Off	N/A
Normal	Off	N/A
Aggressive	On	Lower (evicts sooner)

OpenClaw Eviction Controls

# Toggle eviction
lightrsi eviction on
lightrsi eviction off

# In OpenClaw
/lightrsi eviction on

DeepSeek Harness Eviction

Configure and enable tokenpilot-dsh with a durable stateDir and estimator and eviction settings. By default, its eviction pass runs before Harness native compaction. Optimization failures are bypassed so the agent can continue.

Inside a Harness session, inspect the result with:

/tokenpilot-status

The command reports estimator, scheduling, application, and deferral state without creating a model turn. Follow the DeepSeek Harness guide for installation and configuration; OpenClaw's eviction and runtime-mode commands do not apply.
