- In short
- Choosing between restart and summarise turns on whether the thread should continue. Restart fits a session that has drifted beyond recovery or a task that is genuinely new within the same workstream. Summarise fits a session where the thread should continue but the current context window is already degraded. In a Project, standing instructions and the knowledge base carry forward automatically on restart, but the conversation thread does not, so summarising is how thread continuity is preserved.
