pakrym-oai aaf737fa59 [codex] simplify token budget context (#29295)
## Why

The token-budget feature currently adds remaining-token messages
whenever usage crosses the 25%, 50%, and 75% thresholds. Those periodic
inserts create prompt churn without requiring action, while the
near-compaction reminder and explicit `get_context_remaining` tool
already cover actionable and on-demand budget information.

The context-window lineage block is also easier to scan as plain labeled
text than as a `<token_budget>`-wrapped fragment.

## What changed

- Stop recording automatic remaining-token messages at percentage
thresholds.
- Render context-window lineage in `First`, `Current`, `Previous` order
with colon-separated labels.
- Omit the `Previous` line for the first context window.
- Remove `<token_budget>` wrappers from newly rendered lineage,
near-compaction reminders, and `get_context_remaining` output.
- Keep recognizing legacy wrapped fragments so existing rollouts remain
compatible.
- Remove the post-sampling token snapshot that was only needed by the
periodic threshold path.

## Testing

- `just test -p codex-core token_budget` (11 tests passed)

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Run the following on Mac or Linux to install Codex CLI:

curl -fsSL https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.sh | sh

Run the following on Windows to install Codex CLI:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://chatgpt.com/codex/install.ps1 | iex"

Codex CLI can also be installed via the following package managers:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
