🟡 Medium components/ChatView.tsx:4183

After a thread has a resolved “Don't ask again” request, enabling claudeResumeCompactionEnabled is immediately undone, so users cannot keep the setting enabled. nativeResumeCompactionDismissed scans historical resolved requests, and this effect writes false every time the setting becomes true; process each dismissal only once instead of replaying it on re-enablement.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not let a past thread dismissal override a later setting choice.

If a user turns Compact old Claude threads back on, opening a thread with a recorded native dismissal makes this effect set the global setting to false again. The same happens immediately if that thread is open when the user restores the default. Record which dismissals have already been applied, or apply the opt-out only when a new dismissal occurs. Keep the existing thread-level offer guard.

4184:
Update the effect containing the nativeResumeCompactionDismissed and
resumeCompactionEnabled check so a previously recorded dismissal cannot disable
the setting after the user turns it back on; apply the opt-out only when a new
dismissal occurs or track which dismissals have already been applied. Keep the
existing thread-level offer guard unchanged.
