The author is seeking advice on determining when to terminate a run of the Codex code generation model. They are looking for criteria beyond obvious failures like repeated test errors or circling back to the same issues. Subtle indicators such as a growing diff in the wrong direction, excessive abstraction, repetitive file re-reading without progress, or significant time spent on environment setup are also considered. The author asks users of Codex about their strategies for manually cutting off runs based on failed attempts, time elapsed, or repeated behaviors, versus letting runs complete and reviewing them afterward.
