Community tracking will show that Codex session-reset timing remains opaque or unstable enough to prompt OpenAI clarification or product UI changes.

OpenAI claims its shipped Codex Auto-review — a separate GPT-5.4-Thinking agent approving or denying sandbox-boundary escalations, cutting human approval interruptions ~200x (99.1% auto-approval, 90.3% overeagerness recall, 99.3% prompt-injection recall in its evals) while admitting it can be misled and is no defense against scheming — becomes the adopted default oversight pattern replacing synchronous human approval in deployed coding agents; adoption by other harnesses and operators, or red-team replication of its acknowledged failure modes, resolves it.
