Title:
Codex Windows app-server writes excessive TRACE logs to logs_2.sqlite WAL
Component:
Codex Windows desktop app / app-server
Version:
OpenAI.Codex 26.616.10790.0
Windows package path:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\OpenAI.Codex_26.616.10790.0_x64__2p2nqsd0c76g0
Issue:
The Codex app-server continuously writes high-frequency TRACE logs into:
C:\Users<user>.codex\logs_2.sqlite
and its WAL file:
C:\Users<user>.codex\logs_2.sqlite-wal
Observed evidence:
- logs_2.sqlite size: ~583 MB
- logs_2.sqlite-wal size: ~116 MB
- SQLite journal mode: WAL
- Recent 1-minute window: ~1,788 to ~1,992 TRACE rows
- Recent 5-minute window: ~1,789 TRACE rows
- Writer process: codex.exe app-server --analytics-default-enabled
- Process version: OpenAI.Codex 26.616.10790.0
- Realtime 16-second sampling showed max(id) increasing from 21308956 to 21311034 while WAL mtime kept updating.
- Latest TRACE rows include websocket/tungstenite/SSE frame-level logs such as:
- received frame
- decompressing bytes in final frame
- codex_api::sse::responses
- tokio-tungstenite compat read/poll_read
Expected behavior:
Production Codex desktop builds should not persist frame-level TRACE logs at this frequency during normal usage, or should cap/throttle/rotate them aggressively.
Impact:
Continuous disk writes, growing SQLite/WAL files, unnecessary background I/O, and possible retention of detailed runtime content in local logs.
Notes:
RUST_LOG in the current shell is set to warn, and config.toml/config.json do not appear to explicitly enable TRACE logging.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
