codex - 💡(How to fix) Fix 5.3-codex has a profound new inclination to make 10+ searches consecutively. Fix UI/UX to accomadate this.

What variant of Codex are you using?

CLI v0.129.0

What feature would you like to see?

Codex is now searching the web way more frequently and at unnecessary times #20988 Therefore, UX should be improved to prevent the constant flooding of the readable context, as it becomes filled with noise (repeated, low-information "Model made a search") -- so that we can still read the models actions and get a sense of what it is doing without needing constant scrolling through the junk-filler that 5.3-codex now profusely generates.

Therefore, I suggest something like "made 15 web searches" should appear instead of 15 individual web searches. Would be a lot cleaner looking and would strongly (but maybe not completely) reverse the disturbance to short-scrollback usecases.

Additional information

Model behavior seems to have changed, and did not get the accompanying UX improvements, and the experience of certain flows (no-scrollback TTY without tmux, for example) has become completely altered, as the models comments are filled in by the vacuous searches that now occur consistently with every model prompt.
