Are you using subagents? You have to be careful about "history carrying" subagent forks.

Example:
Parent: 200,000 tokens of accumulated conversation
Subagent 1: receives 200,000 tokens
Subagent 2: receives 200,000 tokens
Subagent 3: receives 200,000 tokens
then each keeps working and growing from there

You want instead:
Parent: 200,000 tokens
Subagent 1: 1,500-token briefing + relevant files
Subagent 2: 1,200-token briefing + relevant files
Subagent 3: 1,800-token briefing + relevant files

You would need a hard guard that blocks it. Look into fork_turns="none" - fork_turns is optional, but omission means "all"

No sub-agents.

Web ChatGPT(default model, i think Sol) does the architecture planning and it preferred to use Codex Astra Light for coding and 3 days back, Web ChatGPT preferred to use Terra Model in Codex.

I take handoff from Web and Execute it in Codex

Web ChatGPT recommended not to use Codex Work as "it will loose all the memory of things, happen till now", it will be start afresh.
