  • Codex ACP adapter: 1.2.0
  • @openai/codex: 0.147.0
  • Authentication: ChatGPT OAuth
  • Date/time: 2026-08-14 around 16:02 UTC+8

Description:
A long-running Codex conversation in JetBrains AI Chat fails when
automatic context compaction is triggered.

The conversation had grown to approximately 230,000 tokens.

Actual error:
Error running remote compact task: unexpected status 404 Not Found:
{"detail":"Not Found"}

URL:
https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact

CF-Ray:

Expected behavior:
Codex should compact the long conversation and continue.

Actual behavior:
The compact request returns HTTP 404 and the task cannot continue.

Additional information:
Starting a new conversation avoids triggering compaction immediately.

Research direction

Start by tracing the remote compaction request to https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses/compact and inspect how the Codex ACP adapter handles the 404 response. Reproduce the failure with the listed Codex and adapter versions, then verify that a long conversation compacts successfully and continues instead of failing.
