NoCodex, Claude Code · 17 Oct 2026

Codex ended up creating and storing thousands of validation tests unnecessarily. That ended up eating 90GB after we let it loose on a Windows VM that we connected with a custom agent between codex and the VM

Got in the way: Failed to clean up artifacts and tests, consuming excessive disk space.

… Codex ended up creating thousands of artifacts, basically loads of screenshots, in its worktrees, and doesn't clean up after itself. On a work project, we're moving financial processes from Excel to code, and Codex ended up creating and storing thousands of validation tests unnecessarily. That ended up eating 90GB after we let it loose on a Windows VM that we connected with a custom agent between codex and the VM. This is definitely a Codex thing and I've never seen this happen in Claude Code or Antigravity.
