Checks the GitHub releases for newer desktop-v tags once per launch
and every 24h (15s timeout, no identifying headers, offline = silent
retry). A dismissible banner and a Settings About row surface the
newer version and link the release page; dismissal persists per
version so each release nags at most once. No auto-install: unsigned
builds cannot, by platform constraint; the checker only notifies.
App 364/364 (+24), typechecks + build green.
Energy (field report: ~3x Chrome drain):
- polls skip entirely while the window is hidden/minimized, with one
catch-up refresh on return when data is stale; visible-but-unfocused
keeps polling (second-monitor case)
- all looping animations pause under html.page-hidden (the sidebar
flame flicker was a perpetual compositor drain)
- default cadence 60s; an explicit stored choice is always honored
Currency (field report: set USD, still saw EUR):
- memo-served payloads re-applied their embedded stale currency; config
mutations now purge the renderer memo and force-refresh, and a
switching payload can never overwrite the applied currency
- USD default verified end to end
Measured: hidden window = 0 new CLI spawns over 5 cadences (was: full
polling forever). App 340/340, build + package green.
Performance and coherence:
- Settings > General 'Refresh every' (Manual/30s/1m/3m/5m/10m), live via
RefreshCadenceContext; Manual polls only on demand
- usePolled memoKey LRU: provider/period switches paint the last-good
result instantly with a switching hairline while refreshing quietly
- quota TTL 5min + honest rate-limited copy on 429 backoff
- version-suffixed cache files (session-cache.v5.json, daily-cache.v12,
auto-minted on future bumps); legacy files never written or deleted,
adopted once when versions match: old and new binaries coexist
without clobbering (field-observed menubar-vs-desktop ping-pong)
- advisory hydration lock: concurrent cold starts share one scan
(wait-then-read-warm), stale/dead locks self-heal, never a
correctness gate
Telemetry v1 + onboarding (desktop only, per owner decisions):
- first-launch onboarding (3 feature screens + consent); region-split
default (EU/EEA/UK/CH off, elsewhere on, unknown off); nothing sends
before consent completion or while off; dev builds never send
- anonymous install UUID, rotated on opt-out; day-granularity events,
cost buckets only; whitelisted names; 200-event queue, 5min flush
- Settings > Privacy live toggle replaces the static claim
Zero computed-number changes. App 316/316, root 1805.
Wire contract targets api.codeburn.app/v1/telemetry (Worker follows).
Settings Providers pane keyed logos by lowercased display names
('grok build' never matched THEMED_LOGOS 'grok'); rows now come from
providerDetails ids like the rest of the app. 20 official marks added
from the repo's own assets (hermes, openclaw, antigravity, kiro, devin,
cline, roo-code, ...) and unknown providers render a first-letter
monogram badge so no detected provider is ever logoless.
Root causes (verified live): the Claude keychain branch was never
enabled (allowClaudeKeychain never passed), security -w returns
hex-encoded JSON the parser rejected, and Codex had no keychain
discovery at all.
- shared readKeychainPassword: Apple-signed /usr/bin/security, 90s
window so the user can answer the macOS dialog, hex decode,
notFound vs accessDenied classification; secrets never logged
- Claude: keychain fallback active (gated to explicit Refresh so
launch never ambushes with a dialog); connection retained across
keychain-less background polls
- Codex sources in order: the menubar's own cached OAuth (read-only,
401 = one re-read, never rotate), legacy ~/.codex/auth.json
(writable), com.openai.codex plaintext if usable; Safe Storage
never decrypted
- new accessDenied state (amber, 'locked') + ConnectAffordance on
Plans cards and Settings rows: login command, keychain-Allow note,
force Refresh
Live verification: Claude connected with its real tier and windows;
Codex correctly accessDenied until the keychain dialog is allowed.
273/273 (26 files), typecheck + build green.
Detected subscriptions card (Claude/Codex): auto-detected tier from the
live quota with a connect hint when logged out — like the menubar,
never a fixed preset. Manual budget presets now only for providers
without OAuth quota (Cursor/SuperGrok); configured claude/codex manual
plans stay listed for removal with a superseded note. The Plans
dashboard already excludes them next to the authoritative live quota.
- one gate (motionEnabled): off under reduced-motion, missing matchMedia,
and vitest; every path checks it first
- mount/filter-change only: count-up and bar grow-in key off the
period|provider|range key, so 30s poll refreshes snap values silently
instead of re-animating
- first-load skeleton shimmer replaces bare scanning text (kept sr-only
for screen readers); slide-in toast host for Settings/export feedback
(validation errors stay inline); CSS hover-lift + press micro-
interactions, all with a reduced-motion escape hatch
- gsap 3.15.0 + @gsap/react 2.1.2 (+74KB raw JS; G4 flame work shares it)
244/244, typecheck + build green.
- Models gains an Audit lens: raw provider token fields vs displayed
totals and cost derivation per model, est badge where pricing is
missing or recomputed cost diverges from attributed
- Settings Pricing pane: list/add/remove price overrides (USD per 1M),
inline confirm on remove, only provided rates sent; rates validated
finite and strictly positive on both sides of the bridge
- four new IPC channels with the established validation pattern
Root 1617/1617, app 235/235, build green.
- Settings/General: Daily budget row (Off / USD amount / Tokens),
positive-finite validation, warns at 80% and alerts at 100%
- app-wide one-line banner above every section: --warn at 80%+, --bad
at 100%+, dismissible for the rest of the day
- USD caps compare raw USD against per-provider daily cost (works under
any filter); token caps evaluate only on the all-providers view since
provider-filtered history zeroes token fields (comparing against a
false zero would always pass)
212/212, build green.
- TopBar picker (shown only when >1 Claude config dir exists) threads
--claude-config-source through getOverview; synthetic 'All Claude
configs' entry returns to the aggregate default
- config id validation accepts the real <kind>:<16hex> id shape while
still rejecting flag-shaped input (leading char anchored)
- both incompatibility directions handled: selecting a config resets a
non-Claude provider filter, and picking a non-Claude provider clears
the config scope, so the CLI rejection is unreachable
- choice persisted (localStorage); active config shown in the scope
line and read-only in Settings/General
Verified live against 2 real config dirs. 205/205, build green.
- formatUsd applies the payload currency {code,symbol,rate} once at
display; formatConverted (symbol only) for CLI-preconverted plan
values so nothing converts twice
- provider picker built from providerDetails: label shown, internal id
sent as --provider (fixes filters for providers whose display name
differs, e.g. Grok Build); falls back to map keys on older CLIs
- getYield threads the active provider through preload/main/sections
App suite 170/170, root 1615/1615.
- new Dropdown component (our .pop menu style, keyboard-accessible) replacing
every native <select> (currency, period, plan preset, export, Compare pickers)
- expand currencies to 30 common ISO codes (engine handles any valid currency)
- fix the Settings pane so rail + content anchor top-left and fill the area
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
- add Claude/OpenAI/Cursor/Grok brand SVGs under app/renderer/assets/providers
- ProviderLogo component: brand-orange Claude in both themes; light/dark
monochrome variants for OpenAI/Cursor/Grok swapped per active theme
- show the logo in the provider dropdown (trigger + menu items) and in
Settings > Providers, left of each provider name
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
- Plans tab: add/remove budget presets via `plan set`/`plan reset`, lists
configured plans, links to the full Plans screen
- Export tab: format + provider + native folder picker (electron dialog)
→ runs `codeburn export`, reports the result
- Devices: real Remove (`devices rm`) + Refresh; visibility is read-only
from `share status`; pairing shows an honest "pair from terminal" note
instead of a dead Approve button; combine row is read-only status
- Apply the persisted theme at app startup (not only when General mounts)
- Settings gets onNavigate for the "Open Plans" link
Only one-shot, non-interactive CLI commands are wired as buttons; the
interactive share daemon and pairing flow stay honestly read-only.
Settings was a dead shell (rail didn't switch, all buttons disabled).
Now the rail navigates and four tabs are wired to the real CLI:
- action bridge: spawnCliAction + runAction (text output, not JSON) with
getAliases/getProxyPaths reads and setCurrency/resetCurrency/addAlias/
removeAlias actions
- General: theme switcher (System/Light/Dark, persisted) + live currency
(reads status, changes via `currency`) + default-period preference
- Providers: real detected-tools list with spend
- Model aliases: full add/remove against real config
- Privacy: honest local-only info
Devices content preserved as-is; Plans/Export are placeholders for Part 2.
Sessions: provider-grouped list of every session in range (project,
models, turns, cost, tokens) with a lightweight real detail — no
fabricated titles, no unbacked context-window widget.
Compare: two-model picker (defaults to top two by cost) across
Performance, Efficiency, Category head-to-head, Working style, and a
derived Context panel, all mapped straight from `compare --format json`.
Nav reordered to match the design: Overview, Sessions, Spend, Optimize,
Models, Compare, Plans, Settings (⌘1-7).
Install an app menu without the CmdOrCtrl+R reload accelerator so ⌘R reaches the renderer for
in-place refresh (keeps Edit/Window roles + dev DevTools). Model labels are now family-level
("Opus"/"Sonnet"/"Haiku"/"GPT / Codex") and the Sankey shows the real model id instead of the
wireframe's sample version names. Optimize retains last-good yield across 30s revalidation (no
flicker to "—"). Removed hints for unimplemented ⌘K/⌘E/esc; fixed stale TopBar comment.

Settings rail (Devices active) with This device (getIdentity), Discovered nearby
(new getDevicesScan bridge → `codeburn devices scan --format json`), and Paired
(getDevices perDevice). Pairing/approve/pull/visibility/combine are M1 visual
affordances (mutations = M2); share status is process-local so not shown as
authoritative. Settings uses a title-only bar (no period/provider).
