LiteLLM's pre-call context check rejects requests that are too large
with HTTP 400 and a message like:
```
litellm.ContextWindowExceededError: litellm.BadRequestError: litellm._pre_call_checks: Context Window exceeded for given call. ... Max Input Tokens=262144, Got=265262 ...
```
None of the `OVERFLOW_PATTERNS` matched this wording, so
`isContextOverflow()` returned false. As a result, the agent session
never ran overflow compaction and retry, and the turn failed with the
400 error.
This change adds `/context window exceeded/i` to `OVERFLOW_PATTERNS` and
documents the error in the doc comment that lists providers.
Testing:
- Added a regression test in `packages/ai/test/overflow.test.ts` with
the exact error message from the issue. It fails without the pattern and
passes with it.
- `node ../../node_modules/vitest/dist/cli.js --run
test/overflow.test.ts` in `packages/ai`: 32 passed.
- `npm run check` passes.
- Running `isContextOverflow()` directly on the reported message
returned `false` before this change and returns `true` after it.

Copilot rejects request bodies over its byte-size limit with HTTP 413 and a generic
'failed to parse request' body, so the existing token-count heuristics never matched.
Treat any HTTP 413 as request-size overflow regardless of provider or body text, so
the agent compacts and retries instead of surfacing a raw API error.
Validated against the live Copilot API (40MB image payload): main classifies the 413
as a plain error, this branch detects it as overflow.
* fix(coding-agent): resume after context-limited length stops
Treat length stops as context overflow when prompt usage is within 1% of
Pi's configured context window. Include cache-write tokens in that usage
and allow non-zero output because OpenAI may emit reasoning tokens before
returning an incomplete response.
After compaction, remove any retryable error or truncated-length assistant
message restored from persisted session history so the interrupted agent
turn can continue.
This is specifically for handling this case for openai models:
https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/reasoning
> If the generated tokens reach the context window limit or the max_output_tokens value you’ve set, you’ll receive a response with a status of incomplete and incomplete_details with reason set to max_output_tokens. This might occur before any visible output tokens are produced, meaning you could incur costs for input and reasoning tokens without receiving a visible response.
This detection currently assumes the reported prompt usage is within 1% of
the context window configured in Pi. Its reliability therefore depends on
Pi's model contextWindow metadata matching the provider's effective limit.
Maybe we should consider treating OpenAI incomplete responses as requiring compaction
regardless of the local context-window estimate?
fixes#7020
* fix(coding-agent): recover truncated responses after compaction
Classify length stops by comparing provider-reported output usage with the model's intended output limit. Compact and retry once when generation ends below that limit, avoiding unreliable context-window estimates while preserving genuine max-output stops.
Normalize OpenAI Responses incomplete reasons so only max_output_tokens is treated as a length stop. Preserve qualified provider reasons for diagnostics, surface other reasons as errors, and use neutral truncation wording in the TUI.
- Add NON_OVERFLOW_PATTERNS to explicitly exclude known non-overflow errors
- Consolidate Cerebras 400/413 no-body check into OVERFLOW_PATTERNS
- Format Bedrock errors as ${error.name}: ${error.message} for pattern matching
