Jiby Jose 515042eb4d Fix compaction happening too early for chatgpt_subscribed (#59686)
# Objective
 
Fixes auto-compaction for ChatGPT Subscription / Codex-backed GPT models
by treating the Codex `context_window` as the usable context budget
instead of reserving an inferred `128k` output budget.
 
- Fixes #59555 

## Solution

Zed previously reported `max_output_tokens = 128_000` for
`openai_subscribed` models. Generic agent code subtracts
`max_output_tokens` from `max_token_count` when computing the effective
input budget, so `openai_subscribed` models ended up with:

- `max_token_count = 272_000`
- `max_output_tokens = 128_000`
- effective compaction budget = `144_000`
- default `90%` threshold = `129_600`

## Testing

Tested with a heavy prompt to confirm that the auto compaction is indeed
now triggered at 90% (default)

/>

This made Zed compact around the halfway point of the actual Codex
context window.

Codex model metadata exposes `context_window = 272000` and does not
expose a `max_output_tokens` cap. Codex also compacts against the
context window directly, rather than subtracting an output reservation.
The subscribed backend also rejects the `max_output_tokens` request
parameter, so Zed already omits it when serializing requests.

This change makes `openai_subscribed` report no known max output token
cap, which matches also that split token display is disabled for these
models.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
