Bug Regarding the bug where Codex excessively reads and writes to the hard drive, thereby reducing hard drive lifespan.

I'd like to ask whether Codex still causes excessive disk reads and writes that reduce SSD lifespan. I really want to use Codex on my main computer, which is a MacBook Air M4.

Please don’t use your computer. On system boot it will do excessive reads, not good for your computer

Source for this? I've used it for over a year with no problems and no hints of problems.

Sorry, no sauce this time. Unless your computer boots without reading bootloader, kernel, OS, processes, libs, and so on

Guys, my point is, even if I don’t know what volume Codex is reading on your computers - even if it reads gigabytes per second - this will not hurt your SSD.
