Fix remote compaction estimator/payload instruction small mismatch (#10692)
## Summary
This PR fixes a deterministic mismatch in remote compaction where
pre-trim estimation and the `/v1/responses/compact` payload could use
different base instructions.

Before this change:
- pre-trim estimation used model-derived instructions
(`model_info.get_model_instructions(...)`)
- compact payload used session base instructions
(`sess.get_base_instructions()`)

After this change:
- remote pre-trim estimation and compact payload both use the same
`BaseInstructions` instance from session state.

## Changes
- Added a shared estimator entry point in `ContextManager`:
- `estimate_token_count_with_base_instructions(&self, base_instructions:
&BaseInstructions) -> Option<i64>`
- Kept `estimate_token_count(&TurnContext)` as a thin wrapper that
resolves model/personality instructions and delegates to the new helper.
- Updated remote compaction flow to fetch base instructions once and
reuse it for both:
  - trim preflight estimation
  - compact request payload construction
- Added regression coverage for parity and behavior:
  - unit test verifying explicit-base estimator behavior
- integration test proving remote compaction uses session override
instructions and trims accordingly

## Why this matters
This removes a deterministic divergence source where pre-trim could
think the request fits while the actual compact request exceeded context
because its instructions were longer/different.

## Scope
In scope:
- estimator/payload base-instructions parity in remote compaction

Out of scope:
- retry-on-`context_length_exceeded`
- compaction threshold/headroom policy changes
- broader trimming policy changes

npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex

Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.

Codex CLI splash


If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.


Quickstart

Installing and running Codex CLI

Install globally with your preferred package manager:

# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex

Then simply run codex to get started.

You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.

Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:

  • macOS
    • Apple Silicon/arm64: codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    • x86_64 (older Mac hardware): codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
  • Linux
    • x86_64: codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
    • arm64: codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz

Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.

Using Codex with your ChatGPT plan
