to write durable notes before auto-compaction. This only runs when the workspace

### Why does memory search need an OpenAI API key if I already signed in with Codex?
Vector memory search uses **embeddings**. Codex OAuth only covers
chat/completions and does **not** grant embeddings access, so the upstream
memory indexer needs a real OpenAI API key (`OPENAI_API_KEY` or
`models.providers.openai.apiKey`). If you dont want to set a key, switch to
`memorySearch.provider = "local"` or set `memorySearch.fallback = "none"`.
