After manually running /compact in Codex, the UI shows that the context was compacted successfully. However, when I send the next message, Codex starts “Context automatically compacting” again, effectively compacting twice in a row.

This causes an unnecessary extra wait and makes it look like the manual /compact did not prevent the automatic compaction from running immediately afterward.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. Open a Codex session with enough conversation context to make compaction relevant.
2. Run the /compact command.
3. Wait until the UI shows that the context was compacted.
4. Send a new prompt/question.
5. Observe that Codex starts “Context automatically compacting” again right after the message is sent.

What is the expected behavior?
