Why
The token-budget feature currently adds remaining-token messages whenever usage crosses the 25%, 50%, and 75% thresholds. Those periodic inserts create prompt churn without requiring action, while the near-compaction reminder and explicit
get_context_remainingtool already cover actionable and on-demand budget information.The context-window lineage block is also easier to scan as plain labeled text than as a
<token_budget>-wrapped fragment.What changed
First,Current,Previousorder with colon-separated labels.Previousline for the first context window.<token_budget>wrappers from newly rendered lineage, near-compaction reminders, andget_context_remainingoutput.Testing
just test -p codex-core token_budget(11 tests passed)
