An article traces a Codex conversation from first message to deletion on disk

A repost of an article tracing the full lifecycle of a Codex conversation on disk—from the first message to deletion.
The piece follows how messages are sent to OpenAI’s servers for responses, then looks at what persists locally and what gets removed when the conversation is deleted. It is essentially a product-level privacy and data-lifecycle walkthrough for Codex/ChatGPT workflows.
