…w config option (XiaomiMiMo#534) Previously, models without an explicit limit.context (e.g. local OpenAI-compatible providers like llama.cpp) defaulted to 1,000,000 tokens. This caused the context usage percentage to display misleadingly low values (e.g. 2% when actually at 12% of the real window), and context compaction would not trigger before the backend rejected requests for exceeding the actual limit. Changes: - Reduce DEFAULT_CONTEXT_WINDOW from 1,000,000 to 128,000 (128K) which is a safer default closer to typical local model windows. - Add top-level 'default_context_window' config option in mimocode.json so users can globally set the fallback value for all unconfigured models. - Update warning message to mention the new config option. - Update tests to match the new default and add a test for the new config option. Fixes XiaomiMiMo#534
…% used' When a model has no context limit configured (e.g. local models without explicit limit.context), the sidebar context plugin showed '0% used' which incorrectly implies the context is empty. Now it displays 'unknown limit' to accurately reflect that the percentage cannot be calculated. Related to XiaomiMiMo#534

Summary
When a model has no context limit configured (e.g. local OpenAI-compatible models without explicit
limit.context), the sidebar context plugin displayed "0% used" which incorrectly implies the context window is empty/unused. This is misleading — the actual issue is that the percentage cannot be calculated because the limit is unknown.Changes
{state().percent ?? 0}% usedwith a conditional that shows:{percent}% usedwhen the context limit is knownunknown limitwhen no context limit is configuredThis aligns with how the prompt bar and subagent footer already handle this case (they simply omit the percentage).
