ClauDiscobombulating

Mod for Claude Code (console + Claude desktop), plus a sidebar plugin for opencode. One plugin, mode picks itself by app.

**On purpose:** *ClauDiscobombulating* — a **disco** + **bomb** mash-up, not a typo of "discombobulating". Renamed from `ClauDiscombobulating` in v1.1.7.

	Console	Desktop app
Usage limits (5h, 7d)	footer	band above prompt
Cache timer	footer (after 5 min idle)	band above prompt (always)
Cache alert (toast + sound, 10 min before miss; off at 99%+ limits or right after a compact)	yes	yes
Auto compact at 99% of the 5h limit	yes	yes
Model / effort pickers	above prompt	-
Context usage counter	above the prompt (right), click → live full count	under the prompt
Dancing Clawd (click the pane's name)	yes	-
Side pane: message timer, Sessions, Resume, Compact, model, effort	yes	-

Auto compact: when the 5h limit reaches 99%, a running turn is stopped and /compact runs, once per 5h window. Not when the 5h limit resets in less than 59 min: waiting is cheaper. Better a controlled compact now than the work dying on its own and re-reading the whole context after the reset. It does not resume the work afterwards. Skipped when a compaction (manual or the engine's own) already ran in the last 10 min. The limit is checked every 5 min below 75%, every minute from 75%, every 30 s from 90%, every second from 95%.
Sessions opens /resume. Resume sends --resume (console) and asks first when cache is already missed — not asked at 99%+ limits or right after a compact.
Compact on cache miss: switches to Haiku at medium effort (1M window now), compacts, restores model + effort.
