same here after the latest update.
here is my thread id: 019d2006-08a1-73d3-885b-c4e27fe89477

not every time though. tried 3 times on one thread — no luck. forked it to the new one, and compaction went through

Thanks for reporting this problem. Until recently, Codex used a separate endpoint and server-side logic for compaction. We recently switched to a more robust approach where the compaction logic is moved locally using the same endpoint as normal turns. This eliminates "remote compaction" errors and increases the stability and reliability of compaction operations. If you see further problems with compaction, please use /feedback and open a new bug report.
