Codex Remote Compaction Now Counts Retained Images Against Its Token Budget
Codex rust-v0.150.1, published 2026-08-27, fixes remote compaction ignoring retained images when computing its token budget; it now trims older images as needed (#41003). Sessions that pass screenshots to a vision-capable agent were budgeting as though those images cost nothing, which is the kind of miscount that produces a context overflow immediately after a compaction that reported success. Codex is simultaneously running 0.151.0 alphas, with alpha.4 and alpha.5 both cut on 08-27.
