close %s copy %s: %w

Error message

close %s copy %s: %w

What it means

The destination file is closed explicitly after io.Copy so that write-back failures (delayed ENOSPC, flush errors) are returned instead of being swallowed by the deferred Close. Seeing this error means data believed written did not actually reach stable storage.

// syncCodexModelsCache seeds models_cache.json once for a fresh task home and
// binds it to the shared provider/catalog configuration. Codex can replace the
// task-local cache after startup, so an unchanged binding preserves whatever
// the task last wrote rather than restoring a potentially stale shared copy.
//
// A changed or missing binding makes an existing cache unsafe: Codex's cache
// format (as of 0.144.x) records the client version and fetch time but not the
// provider identity. Reusing that cache after config.toml switches providers
// can therefore pair provider B with provider A's model catalog. Drop it and
// let Codex fetch a catalog for the new effective configuration. We
// deliberately do not seed the shared cache in this case because it carries
// the same provider-identity ambiguity.

Solutions

1. Check and free disk space on the task home volume
2. Retry after resolving the underlying I/O condition
3. Check system logs for device errors

if err := materialiseInCodexHome(...); err != nil {
	if errors.Is(err, syscall.ENOSPC) {
		// close-time flush failure: space was exhausted during copy
	}
}

When it happens

Trigger: Buffered write flushed at close time hits ENOSPC or an I/O error; filesystem with delayed allocation reports failure only on close/fsync.

Common situations: Disk that was nearly full at copy time; failing drive; overlay filesystem in a container.
