What variant of Codex are you using?

Windows Desktop App 5.5

What feature would you like to see?

Auto-compaction and even just compaction can be a real pain. It doesn't have a consistent way to determine what will compact. It would be great to give Codex a "Do Not Compact" tag or section block that prevents any compaction in those areas for Codex. Similar to the Project Instructions block or the GPT instructions block. This would be incredibly useful and prevent a lot of pain.
