Summary	A message-sequence step's second item saves the first item's conversation, so its tool calls are missing from the step logs

What happened

Upwork search-find-and-shortlist, standalone run 2026-10-06 16:43 to 17:22 IST (owner stopped it), Codex structured, one CLI session across items. In runs/iteration-0/daily-bid/logs/search-find-and-shortlist/execution/:

• execution-attempt-1-iteration-1-conversation.json: 269 messages, tool_call_count 133.
• execution-attempt-1-iteration-2-conversation.json: the same 269 messages (identical history hash), although its own tool_call_count is 225 and its timing file lists 225 spans (114 shell, 106 browser).

So the second item's 225 tool calls are not in the platform's step log. The full record exists only in the CLI's own transcript (~/.codex/sessions/2026/10/06/rollout-2026-10-06T16-58-49-....jsonl, 60 code-mode exec programs).

Fix (not built)

Save each item's own conversation (or the session's full history at the item's end) when a message-sequence step keeps one CLI session across items; check Claude and Cursor structured too.
