…params Addresses three kapa.ai coverage gaps: the default value of enable_auto_context_summarization, the absence of a truncation-only mode, and the fact that only messages[0] is preserved as a system message. - Add LLMAssistantAggregatorParams section to the reference page with enable_auto_context_summarization (default: False) and auto_context_summarization_config, plus a note on the deprecated field names. - Add a Limitations section to the fundamentals page covering the no-truncation-only-mode constraint and the single-system-message preservation behavior. - State the default for enable_auto_context_summarization explicitly in the fundamentals page. - Update the context-management page to use the non-deprecated enable_auto_context_summarization field name.

enable_auto_context_summarizationdefaults toFalseacross guides and reference docs. - Adds a “Limitations” section clarifying there’s no truncation-only mode and only
messages[0]is preserved as the initial system message. - Adds an
LLMAssistantAggregatorParamssection to the API reference and updates the context-management guide to use the non-deprecated field name.

Summary
Closes three kapa.ai coverage gaps on context summarization configuration:
enable_auto_context_summarization: now stated explicitly (False) in the fundamentals page, the context-management page, and a newLLMAssistantAggregatorParamssection on the reference page.None.messages[0]is preserved and that preserving additional system messages is not configurable, pointing tosystem_instructionas the durable alternative.Also updates the context-management page to use the non-deprecated
enable_auto_context_summarizationfield name.Test plan
