Reproduction request: Codex turn-diff checkpoint refs under refs/codex/turn-diffs/checkpoints/ may retain large git snapshot blobs in the proj

What I found: Reporter on Codex Desktop 26.616.51431 measured about 101.86 GiB in 8476 loose objects with refs/codex/turn-diffs/checkpoints/ and reported total project size about 140 GB shrinking to about 5.7 GB after cleanup. Issue reporter documented reclaim via git gc --prune=now (and alternatively rm -rf .git && git init) after orphan checkpoint blobs accumulated. Evidence: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/29388 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/29388#issuecomment-5159078198 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/29388#issuecomment-5913198046 Still unknown: Whether Codex automatically recreates checkpoint refs and blobs immediately after a successful gc/prune on the same project. Useful next check: Whether Codex automatically recreates checkpoint refs and blobs immediately after a successful gc/prune on the same project.
