What issue are you seeing?

I demand (you heard me right, it's demand, not request) to stop killing our m.2 drives with writing dozens gigabytes of session data. No analytics, no telemetry allows, nothing except actual chat history. I do not care of your codex doctor, you have no consent to collect data and kill my storage! I demand that you stop this stupid practice immediately.

Just use codex normal way it writes many GBs to ~/.codex/sessions/ .
