Two independent causes for the stuck-label / only-refreshes-on-click
behaviour, both fixed here.
1. NSStatusItem button defers the status bar paint for accessory apps
that are not foreground, so after refreshStatusButton sets the new
attributed title the menu bar visually froze until the user opened
the popover (which triggers NSApp.activate and a forced redraw
cycle). Explicit needsDisplay + display() forces the paint every
cycle.
2. The codeburn subprocess inherited the accessory app's default QoS,
which macOS background-throttles. That could stretch a sub-1-second
parse into tens of seconds on large corpora and overrun the 15s
refresh cadence. Set .userInitiated so the CLI runs at the same
priority it does from a user-interactive terminal.
The detached prefetch spawned four codeburn subprocesses (week, 30days,
month, all) that competed with the main refresh loop's Today fetch for
disk and parser time. On large session corpora that starved the Today
refresh for minutes at a time, and the status label drifted stale until
the prefetch queue finally drained. Users perceived this as the menubar
"stopping" until they clicked a provider tab, which coincided with the
queue clearing.
Drop prefetchAll. Period tabs in the popover now fetch lazily on first
click (3-10 seconds once per app lifetime per period), same as they did
in 0.8.1. Today's label stays fresh because nothing else is hammering
the parser in the background.
prefetchAll was awaited inside the refresh loop after the first cycle.
On large corpora the All Time parse takes 60+ seconds and kept the Today
refresh blocked for that whole window, so the status label got stuck for
minutes at a time while the CLI was returning fresh numbers.
Detach prefetchAll into its own @MainActor task. The popover still gets
the benefit of pre-warmed period caches, the refresh loop ticks every 15
seconds regardless.
Loading overlay no longer flashes on every 15s poll. isLoading now only
toggles when the cache is cold, and all periods prefetch once on launch
so tab switching is instant.
Heatmap tooltip, trend bars, forecast, and all-time stats were computing
on UTC dates while the CLI reports on local dates, so the two disagreed
at day boundaries. Switched every date formatter and calendar in these
paths to .current so the menubar matches codeburn today output.
Menubar: reduce cache TTL from 300s to 30s, background refresh from
60s to 15s, always fetch fresh data on tab switch instead of serving
stale cache. TUI: default auto-refresh to 30s (--refresh 0 to disable).
Closes#107
Remove the broken "Connect Claude" / "Reconnect Claude" buttons from
the Plan pane -- they opened a terminal session that did nothing useful
for already-logged-in users. Keep only the "Retry" button.
Add an auto-update checker that queries GitHub releases every 2 days in
the background. When a newer menubar build is available, an "Update"
pill appears in the header. Clicking it runs the existing installer
flow (download, replace, relaunch) with no manual steps.
The refresh loop previously skipped `refreshQuietly(.today)` when the
user was already viewing the Today period. That guard meant while the
user was on (today, claude) or any other non-.all provider, the
(today, all) cache went stale. The menubar title and the agent tab
strip both read from that cache, so they displayed stale costs while
the hero section (which reads the currently-viewed payload) showed
the correct fresh value.
Remove the guard so the (today, all) cache refreshes every cycle
regardless of the currently selected period/provider.
Shipped as mac-v0.7.4.
