Codex /goal sessions inject continuation context as role=user records wrapped in <codex_internal_context source="goal"> (current) or <goal_context> (legacy). These were parsed as ordinary user turns, flooding long goal-oriented sessions with synthetic messages between real exchanges and inflating user_message_count. Route both wrappers through isCodexSystemMessage so they are dropped from the transcript, user counts, search, and analytics like other Codex internal envelopes. Detection is scoped to the structured wrapper (and the goal source for the modern form) so a real user message that quotes the goal text is preserved. Closes kenn-io#868

/goalsessions inject continuation context asrole=userrecords so the model keeps working toward the active thread goal. agentsview parsed these as ordinary user turns, so long goal-oriented Codex sessions filled with synthetic "Continue working toward the active thread goal…" messages between real exchanges, anduser_message_countwas inflated (which also feeds single-turn/automated session classification).This routes both envelope formats through the existing
isCodexSystemMessagegate so they are dropped from the transcript, user counts, search, and analytics — the same way<environment_context>,<skill>, and other Codex internal envelopes are:<codex_internal_context source="goal">…</codex_internal_context><goal_context>…</goal_context>Detection is scoped to the structured wrapper (and the
goalsource for the modern form), so a real user message that merely quotes the goal sentence is preserved. The change is parser-level and pre-storage, so it applies identically to the full and incremental parse paths and both storage backends.Where to look:
internal/parser/codex.go(isCodexGoalContextplus theisCodexSystemMessagewiring).Closes #868
