Codex-created worktrees blamed for killing a 600GB-battered SSD; users say disk bloat is the worst part of AI coding tools

Developer @clyons reports that Codex rapidly created and deleted 600GB of worktrees, killing his SSD. He's filed multiple feedback reports with no response, and notes regular users likely won't hit this — he processes several TB of data daily.
Reposter @natesiggard agrees: managing worktrees and disk space is the absolute worst part of AI coding tools, bottlenecking him daily, and it's not just Codex — Claude does it too. He calls for a better solution.
