    Thanks for the issue. To keep the tracker readable, every item needs an area prefix in the title and the parts of the issue form filled in. This one is missing:

    • Start the title with its area: [Engine], [GUI], [TUI], [Benchmark], [Docs] or [Other], then a short description. Example: "[Engine] decode stops after 2 minutes".

    Edit the issue (title and description) and this note goes away on its own. If it is still missing parts in 5 days it will be closed, which is not a rejection: fix it and comment /reopen.

    Details: CONTRIBUTING.md

    Thanks, and good to hear --conversation-cache-mib 8192 --conversation-cache-slots 4 fixed it. To keep them, add the two flags to the model's start options: in the app under the model's Expert settings, or in the args list of the model's config file in the Terminal. We're also changing the defaults so the cache is sized for agent use by itself, so this won't be needed in a future release.

    This is fixed in Strata 0.2.3. Please update to the latest release (in the Terminal: strata update; in the app: download the newest installer from the releases page). If it still happens on the latest version, reply here and we will reopen it. Thank you for the report.
