"Compactions" are just reducing the transcript to a summary of the transcript, right? So it makes sense that it would get worse because the agent is literally losing information, but it wouldn't be due to context rot.

The thing that would signal context rot is when you approach the auto-compact threshold. Am I thinking about this right?

Yes, but on agentic workflows it's possible to do more intelligent compaction.
