 | Package | Version | Description |
 |---------|---------|-------------|
 | [@buape/carbon](https://github.com/buape/carbon) | ^0.16.0 | Discord UI component library required by OpenClaw's bundled Discord channel plugin. The plugin is eagerly loaded during CLI bootstrap even when using `--local` mode. |

+`bun.lock` records the tested dependency graph. Install with `bun install --frozen-lockfile`

 ### OpenClaw Feature Surface
 
@@ -28,6 +35,10 @@ Beyond the CLI binary, OCI uses the following OpenClaw feature categories:
 | Environment isolation | `OPENCLAW_HOME`, `OPENCLAW_OAUTH_DIR` | Agent home and credential separation |
 | Compaction | `.pi/settings.json` `compaction` | Automatic context compaction for long conversations (`keepRecentTokens: 32000`) |
 
+Both runners forward `compaction.enabled` and `keepRecentTokens`. The legacy
+`reserveTokens` setting is retained for existing configuration files but is no
+longer forwarded: OpenClaw 2026.9.5 rejects it and manages its own reserve budget.
