About this article
Your Codex log file looked fine. Your SSD counters did not. The file was small. That was...
If you opened ~/.codex/, you could see a SQLite database called logs_2.sqlite. It was not huge. It was not swallowing the disk. Finder, Explorer, du, and every normal storage check had nothing dramatic to say.
Meanwhile, one developer's SSD recorded roughly 37 TB of writes in 21 days.
