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:

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.
