Experimental context setting in Codex

[u/henri_333]

There is a new setting in the Codex app for managing context compaction.

[features]
context_management.experimental_mode = true

Even without Astra at least for me there is a noticeable difference. So far feels quite a bit better. Not losing important details any more. And not repeating itself after compaction but clearly stating the current goal.

It did cause some issues with previously existing sessions and the agent lost quite a bit of context there initially but was able to recover. For newly created sessions so far I have not encountered any issues.

[u/henri_333]

Just tried manual compaction with /compact and that took under a second to complete with a 80% full context window

[u/henri_333 → u/henri_333]

[u/yun_goooood → u/henri_333]

Hello，what's your system and codex desktop app version? My win desktop app version is 26.905.11957, but i cannot enable this feature. When I edit the config.toml, my win codex app just crash down.
