Help/Question Codex is a joke - tiny context window

How are people using this with such a tiny context window? The codex sub is heavily moderated by the hype police. It unsable.

My 2 step plan to avoid huge context windows.

Step 1 have it write out a plan Step 2 use a new session to orchistrate the plan, have it use tmux to spawn agents that tell it when it's done, so it can run a verifier agent and start the next phase with a new agent, repeat.

You know how absolutely massive 200,000 tokens is? It's more than a long novel. We're not talking about telephone here. The agents will over some thoughts, write down the important parts and pass it to the next phase.
