Reproduction request: Codex turn-diff checkpoint refs may keep project snapshot git objects without garbage collection; a reporter says cleanu

What I found: git gc invokes prune with a default expiration of 2.weeks.ago unless gc.pruneExpire is overridden (now disables the grace period). A community comment on #29388 describes verifying unreachable blobs, checking stashes and unreachable commits, then running git gc --prune to reclaim multi-GB .git while keeping HEAD and working tree intact, noting gc.pruneExpire grace for young loose orphans. Evidence: https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/29388 · https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/29388#issuecomment-5159078198 · https://github.com/openai/codex/blob/main/codex-rs/git-utils/src/baseline.rs Still unknown: Whether checkpoint refs are recreated immediately after git gc, causing rapid regrowth. Useful next check: Whether checkpoint refs are recreated immediately after git gc, causing rapid regrowth.
