## Summary This PR fixes a deterministic mismatch in remote compaction where pre-trim estimation and the `/v1/responses/compact` payload could use different base instructions. Before this change: - pre-trim estimation used model-derived instructions (`model_info.get_model_instructions(...)`) - compact payload used session base instructions (`sess.get_base_instructions()`) After this change: - remote pre-trim estimation and compact payload both use the same `BaseInstructions` instance from session state. ## Changes - Added a shared estimator entry point in `ContextManager`: - `estimate_token_count_with_base_instructions(&self, base_instructions: &BaseInstructions) -> Option<i64>` - Kept `estimate_token_count(&TurnContext)` as a thin wrapper that resolves model/personality instructions and delegates to the new helper. - Updated remote compaction flow to fetch base instructions once and reuse it for both: - trim preflight estimation - compact request payload construction - Added regression coverage for parity and behavior: - unit test verifying explicit-base estimator behavior - integration test proving remote compaction uses session override instructions and trims accordingly ## Why this matters This removes a deterministic divergence source where pre-trim could think the request fits while the actual compact request exceeded context because its instructions were longer/different. ## Scope In scope: - estimator/payload base-instructions parity in remote compaction Out of scope: - retry-on-`context_length_exceeded` - compaction threshold/headroom policy changes - broader trimming policy changes ## Codex author: `codex fork 019c2b24-c2df-7b31-a482-fb8cf7a28559`
codex-core
This crate implements the business logic for Codex. It is designed to be used by the various Codex UIs written in Rust.
Dependencies
Note that codex-core makes some assumptions about certain helper utilities being available in the environment. Currently, this support matrix is:
macOS
Expects /usr/bin/sandbox-exec to be present.
When using the workspace-write sandbox policy, the Seatbelt profile allows
writes under the configured writable roots while keeping .git (directory or
pointer file), the resolved gitdir: target, and .codex read-only.
Linux
Expects the binary containing codex-core to run the equivalent of codex sandbox linux (legacy alias: codex debug landlock) when arg0 is codex-linux-sandbox. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
All Platforms
Expects the binary containing codex-core to simulate the virtual apply_patch CLI when arg1 is --codex-run-as-apply-patch. See the codex-arg0 crate for details.
