Codex's local_thread_store_compression rewrites cold rollouts to
*.jsonl.zst, which the store scan skipped without a trace. Each one is now
counted in compressedFiles (complete: false), skipped only when its plain
.jsonl sibling exists, as Codex's own discovery does, and a lookup that
misses names the compressed file whose name carries the wanted id. A
Zstandard file given to --file, or sitting in the store under a .jsonl
name, is recognised by its magic number.
Each selected rollout is parsed once into every view later needed of it,
so a legacy copy's boundary proof reuses the parent's own read instead of
charging it to --scan-bytes a second time (and counting its malformed or
inherited records twice).
A parent read that fails for any reason other than a budget now leaves
the boundary unproven (cut at the last candidate, unverifiedPrefixes,
complete: false) instead of failing a child whose own file is intact. A
budget error still fails the read.
--max-bytes is validated before the first file is read, next to the
other budgets, and every budget flag accepts plain decimal integers only.
Replace docs/offline-history.md, which repeated the skill reference and was
linked from nowhere, with a README section and a wiki section beside the
codeman agent commands. Bring the skill reference, its plugin mirror, the
Codeman Skill wiki page and the changeset in line with the reader: forks,
the separate budgets and their flags, UTC dates, phases and complete:false.
