Practitioner notes
Public issue and forum reports add workflow context for Codex. Each note reflects its cited source and observed context. Frequency remains unmeasured.
A June 2026 Codex CLI bug report describes a conversation stopping after a successful command/tool execution. Treat as a single workflow-continuity report tied to the CLI at that time, not a general reliability rate.
A June 2026 Codex CLI/TUI feature request asks for a native context-usage breakdown, indicating at least one practitioner need for better visibility into context consumption and compaction state. This is a request signal, not evidence that the feature is broadly missing for all users or that users are dissatisfied overall.
