+- **History collapse no longer truncates the opening task prompt.** When a
+  long run pushed the opening user turn past the demotion boundary, the
+  collapsed turn carried only a ~300-char preview
+  (`LATEST_COLLAPSED_USER_PREVIEW_CHARS`) — the actual question could be cut
+  off entirely, and the model answered from whatever fragment survived. The
+  most recent collapsed user turn now rides along verbatim (up to
+  `LATEST_COLLAPSED_USER_VERBATIM_CHARS`, default 4000). Verified end-to-end
+  on the effective-context needle bench: with collapse actively engaged
+  (10 turns demoted), the model reproduces the ground-truth answer exactly.
