I also found it take very long time to do /compact
Thanks for the report. I think we found a likely cause for the
/newdelay.Your Doctor report shows that the configured
fusion360MCP server athttp://127.0.0.1:27182/mcpis unreachable, and its reachability checks took about six seconds to time out. In Codex CLI 0.144.6, starting a new thread can wait for HTTP MCP authentication discovery, so an unavailable optional MCP server can delay/new.Could you temporarily disable that server in
~/.codex/config.toml, fully restart Codex, and try/newagain?Please let us know the approximate
/newtime before and after disabling it. If that makes/newimmediate, it confirms the cause. This is related to #29376, and the blocking startup behavior has already been fixed onmain.The slow
/compactmay be a separate problem because it does not start a new thread. If it remains slow withfusion360disabled, please:/compacttakes and whether it eventually completes or reports an error./feedbackimmediately afterward and paste the resultingUploaded thread: ...ID here.PreCompactorPostCompacthooks configured, share those sections with secrets and private paths removed.
