Migrate an Agent from Chunking-and-RAG to a 1M-Token Context Window
The 1M-token context window is now the default on Claude Opus 5, Opus 4.8/4.7/4.6, Sonnet 5, and Sonnet 4.6, with no beta header and no long-context premium. Here is when deleting the vector store actually pays off, the 10x cache-read rule that decides it, the ~30% tokenizer inflation that breaks your sizing estimate, and the seven-step migration with a verification line on each one.
