Research note: Codex turn-diff checkpoint refs under refs/codex/turn-diffs/checkpoints/ may retain full project tree snapshots as git l

What I found: Issue reporter states Codex does not trigger git gc or git prune for superseded checkpoint objects, so loose objects accumulate across checkpoint operations. A commenter on #29388 recommends using git count-objects -v loose size as a tripwire to catch object-store accumulation before it reaches very large sizes.

Useful next check: Whether checkpoint refs are removed automatically when sessions end or only accumulate until manual intervention.
