> The last thing I'll mention is that Claude Code (Sonnet 4.5) is still very token-happy, in that it eagerly goes above and beyond when not always necessary. Codex (gpt-5-codex) on the other hand, does exactly what you ask, almost to a fault.

I very much share your experience. As for the time being I like the experience with codex over claude, just because I find my self in a position where I know much sooner when to step in and just doing it manually.

With claude I find my self in a typing exercise much more often, I could probably get better of knowing when to stop ofc.
