Hi @hendrykcosta75, that rollout size is valuable stress evidence. Codex Rescue Alpha5 scans large local session histories with bounded memory and produces aggregate size, media, and compaction diagnostics without loading the whole file into RAM or dumping full payloads.
If you still have an affected closed rollout, you can test it locally:
No raw session upload is needed; sanitized aggregate output is sufficient.
