Description
When working with continue, it freezes from time to time without any hint in the log. I need to restart the IDE to make it work again ...
To reproduce
No response
Log output
I noticed that it happens since one session file grew above 100.000KB - when I remove it, the plugin is responsive again. I also tried to split it, but als then the plugin freezes. It freezes slightly before reaching this limit. Actually at 98.000KB.
Do you mean the session.json file grew to 100,000kb? Or you had file in the project of 100,000kb?
Yes - the session file grows toward 100.000KB ... it freezes after reaching around 93.000.
trying to gather some more insights: how long was the conversation? were there more than 10 user messages in the conversation?
