The packaged app resolved whatever codeburn was on PATH — for real
users the published npm release, which predates every JSON surface the
app calls. The app now ships its own CLI copy under resources/cli
(staged production node_modules tree; tsup output is not
self-contained) and spawns it with Electron's own binary via
ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE. No install prerequisite remains.
- resolution order: CODEBURN_BIN, dev repo CLI, bundled, persisted
path, PATH search
- launch.js shim strips the extra argv element commander mis-slices
under packaged Electron-as-node (process.versions.electron is set),
which reproduced the 'too many arguments' class of error
- afterPack hook copies the staged tree (extraResources runs
node_modules through the production-dep filter and ships it empty);
lands before signing, signature verified intact
- packaging always restages from src via root build:cli (tsup only,
no network); ~12MB compressed per artifact
Verified on the built app: Electron-as-node CLI emits current JSON
(providerDetails, currency), and a minimal-PATH GUI launch spawns the
bundled CLI with zero external dependencies. 290/290.
Same model via different providers (MiniMax M3 x3) was
indistinguishable: rows now carry providerDisplayName in both lenses.
The provider dropdown and Sessions quick-filter no longer hide detected
providers with zero spend in the current period (Hermes was invisible
while Settings listed it); entries sort by cost, zero-spend last.
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.
GUI-launched apps inherit a minimal PATH without the user's node
install, so spawning the codeburn npm shim (#!/usr/bin/env node) failed
with 'env: node: No such file or directory' in packaged builds. Spawn
now augments PATH with the resolved binary's own directory (node sits
beside the shim in nvm, Homebrew, and npm-prefix layouts) plus the
resolver's search dirs. Dev never hit this because the terminal PATH
was inherited.
Field-verified on macOS 15+: an ad-hoc-signed quarantined download gets
the damaged/move-to-Trash dialog and right-click Open does not bypass
it; the quarantine strip is the reliable path. Also updates the
Releases section to the hyphenated CodeBurn-Setup-<version>.exe
artifact name set via nsis.artifactName.
Cross-built from macOS alongside the existing mac config: nsis x64
(oneClick false, clean CodeBurn-Setup-<version>.exe artifact name) and
AppImage x64. DISTRIBUTION.md covers the new build commands, the
unsigned-build first-run steps per platform, and the desktop-v<version>
release tag convention the website pins.
A packaged DMG on a machine without the CLI opens into the 'CLI not
found' state; the distribution doc now says so up front, with the
install command and the future bundle-the-CLI path.
electron-builder config with ad-hoc signing (identity "-", not null,
which skips signing and breaks Apple Silicon), dmg+zip for arm64 and
x64, org.agentseal.codeburn-desktop bundle id matching the menubar
convention, icon reused from build/icon.png. DISTRIBUTION.md documents
the build, verification, the Gatekeeper first-open steps for
unnotarized builds, and the later paid-notarization upgrade path.
The h264 loader baked a flat dark background that read as a rectangle
against the splash's warm radial tint. Re-encoded from the original as
VP9 WebM with an alpha channel (checker keyed to transparency), so the
burning flame composites directly onto the gradient. Verified over a
contrasting test canvas.
273/273, typecheck + build green.
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.
New owner-approved art: the binary-digit flame. Checkerboard keyed out,
largest-component masking to drop glow-zone checker fringe, clean
synthetic ember glow rebuilt; composited to the Big Sur squircle as
app/build/icon.png and squared with alpha as the in-app FlameMark
raster (sidebar, About, static splash).
The supplied burn animation becomes the splash loader: checker keyed
per-frame and the splash's fixed dark canvas (#171310) baked in (h264
has no alpha), audio stripped, 944KB looping video shown while the
first scan runs. Splash canvas and text colors are now theme-fixed so
video and page never diverge; reduced motion/tests keep the static
mark, verified by test.
Flame/splash/motion suites green in isolation (full suite re-verified
when the in-flight quota batch commits); typecheck + build green.
The owner supplied the final flame render; the hand-retrace is retired.
Checkerboard keyed out to real alpha, composited to the Big Sur squircle
(824/1024, r185, charcoal #231613) as app/build/icon.png (the
electron-builder master, verified legible at 16px), and the flame-only
alpha PNG becomes the in-app mark: FlameMark now renders the raster so
splash, sidebar, About and dock are pixel-identical. Flicker applies to
the whole mark (raster has no separable core). Stale icon.svg removed.
Flame suites green in isolation; full suite re-verified before the
in-flight quota batch commits.
- app/build/icon.svg + icon.png: hand-retraced vector of the approved
reference (three flat layers: coral #e86c39, amber #f7943c, cream
#fecb8b on charcoal #231613), Big Sur squircle proportions (824/1024,
r185, transparent corners, no glow), flame ~72% optically centered;
8 render-and-compare iterations against the reference; legible at 16px
- FlameMark retraced to the same three paths (flat fills, no gradients);
flicker now animates the cream core only
- AboutModal renders FlameMark instead of the old gradient flame.png;
orphaned 70KB asset removed
253/253, typecheck + build green.
CodeBurn wordmark on the splash now uses --accent (matching the
website/sidebar brand treatment) with the app version (v0.1.0, from
package.json at build time) in muted small text below. App version
bumped 0.0.0 -> 0.1.0.
253/253, 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.
Replaces the rejected hand-traced silhouette with Bootstrap Icons'
fire path (MIT, embedded with license note) — the flame.fill-style
teardrop with the inner tongue — filled with the menubar BurnFlame's
actual Ember gradient from the Swift theme (#f0a070 > #e8774a >
#c9521d > #8b3e13, bottom to top), not the brighter accent ramp.
Flicker hook moves to the whole mark (single compound path).
Also: .splash-word snapped to var(--fs-kpi).
The motion batch gave five sections shimmer skeletons on first load but
missed Compare and Models' Audit lens (both still showed bare loading
text in an empty panel). Same SectionSkeleton treatment now.
250/250.
Old-CLI fallback derived picker ids from providers-map keys (lowercased
display names); a key with a space ('grok build') passed to --provider
was rejected by the app's own validator, erroring the fetch and leaving
stale data under the new filter's header. Exclude keys that cannot
round-trip. (Primary fix is running the current CLI: rebuilt dist.)
- FlameMark: hand-traced inline SVG of the brand flame (~1.1KB, warm
3-stop gradients, useId-scoped), used at splash and sidebar sizes
- Splash: full-window first-load overlay echoing the menubar's
BurnLoadingOverlay ignite moment; 600ms floor so warm cache never
blinks, 250ms crossfade on first data, instant yield on error or
reduced motion, done-latch so it never reappears
- Sidebar logo replaced with the live FlameMark: 1-2% inner-tongue
flicker, 4.5s period, random phase; static under reduced motion
250/250, build green (+2.4KB JS, +1.8KB CSS).
- 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.
Every var(--t1/--t2/--t3/--hair/--hair2) and secondary legacy color
(--lav/--amber/--red/--mint/--blue/--purple/--cyan) repointed to the
canonical family (--ink/--mut/--mut2/--line/--line2, --warn/--bad/--ok,
--s-*); all legacy definitions and the plain.css alias shim deleted.
The explicit dark/light theme blocks carried drifted legacy literals
(including a pre-contrast-fix --t3), so this also extends the AA
contrast values to all four theme modes, which previously disagreed
with system-light.
grep-proven zero legacy usages. 235/235, 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.
Replaces the three-rule anomaly card with a Wins/Improvements/Risks
Signals card mirroring the menubar's rule set and thresholds
(FindingsSection.swift): cache >=80% and one-shot >=0.75 and spend-down
>10% and streak >=5d as wins; top-3 optimize findings, low cache <50%,
low one-shot <0.5, retry tax >=25% of spend as improvements; weekday
spike >1.8x, week-over-week >+25%, projected month >1.3x prior month as
risks. Time-comparison rules suppressed under a custom range. Renders
nothing when empty; icons per group, never color-alone. Anomaly test
coverage ported, not deleted.
221/221, 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.
- Sessions: All + per-provider logo buttons (detected, cost > 0) that
drive the same app-level provider state as the top-bar dropdown, so
the two controls can never disagree; aria-pressed group semantics
- Spend By project: rows expand inline (single-open, aria-expanded,
chevron rotation) to the project's sessions: date, top model, calls,
currency-aware cost; date-only strings parsed at local noon so days
never roll across time zones
194/194, typecheck + build green.
- will-navigate/window-open denied; openExternal restricted to http(s);
production CSP drops 'unsafe-inline' scripts (dev-only Vite plugin
re-adds it for the Fast Refresh preamble)
- single-instance lock; before-quit reaps in-flight CLI children; 16MB
output cap rejects with CliError 'too-large'
- read-only CLI spawns coalesce: concurrent identical calls share one
child, a 5s result cache absorbs same-cadence pollers (six sections
polled getOverview independently); actions bypass and flush the cache
on completion so post-action refetches are fresh
- every renderer-supplied argv string validated (period/provider/range/
currency allowlists, no flag-shaped tokens, absolute export path) with
new CliError kind 'bad-args'; envelope + action stderr routed through
sanitizeError
- quota force-refresh: manual refresh (refreshToken) passes force which
invalidates QuotaService's cache; steady polls do not
- POSIX credential mode check gated off on win32
App suite 190/190, build green (production index.html verified strict).
- 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.
- Provider filter: Models-this-period sources current.topModels (history
days carry empty topModels per provider); StackedBars falls back to a
cost-proportional single segment like the Swift menubar
- Chart windows align to the CLI (week -7, 30days -30, all = 6 months)
and zero-fill a contiguous calendar window; history.daily is sparse and
both sides key local YYYY-MM-DD, so lookups are safe (verified on real
CLI output)
- Custom range threads into Overview panels (chart, models table) and
suppresses MTD/projected and vs-last-week comparisons; Compare states
that custom dates fall back to the period
- usePolled clears errors per attempt and sections show a StaleBanner
instead of silently rendering last-good data after a failed refresh
- Cache-hit denominator matches the CLI; hero savings relabeled 'Saved by
applied fixes' + new 'Saved via local models' line; formatCompact
everywhere; Optimize 'Fixes' count matches the rendered list
App suite 163/163 (was 147), root 1613/1613.
contiguousDailyWindow rebuilt a calendar window from the client clock and looked
up days by date key; on real CLI data every lookup missed and zero-filled, so the
Spend chart went empty and the Overview chart went flat. Use the real last-N
backfilled entries of history.daily directly (Spend last-15, Overview
last-max(30, periodDaily)) and remove the dead helper.
typecheck clean; 147/147 tests pass.
Replace the $-budget model as the primary view: per-provider cards (Claude/Codex)
from getQuota show the real 5-hour/weekly windows (% used, resets-in, severity
colors), the auto-detected subscription tier, connection states, and the credit
footer. Manual budget plans demoted to a secondary section.
typecheck clean; 148/148 tests pass. Needs a full relaunch for live quota.
Port the menu bar's OAuth quota fetch to the Electron main:
- app/electron/quota/{claude,codex,index,security}.ts reads the local Claude/
Codex credentials, hits the usage APIs, normalizes to QuotaProvider (5h/weekly
windows, auto-detected tier, resets-at) with 429 backoff + single-flight
- getQuota IPC bridge (main + preload + renderer types); needs a full relaunch
Security: tokens are never returned or logged (redact Bearer/sk-ant/sk-/JWT,
strip NUL, truncate 240); credential reads refuse symlinks (O_NOFOLLOW/lstat) and
insecure modes; Anthropic refresh is never POSTed (single-use, shared with CLI).
typecheck clean; 147/147 tests pass; Electron build passes.
- extract contiguousDailyWindow + formatChartDate to lib/period (shared)
- Spend "Daily spend by model": fixed contiguous 15-day window (zero-filled)
with an .ov-xax date axis, matching the Overview chart
- remove the horizontal gridlines from both charts (they read like data lines)
typecheck clean; 129/129 tests pass.
By-project and the Activity/Tools/MCP/Subagents breakdown panels cap at 300px
with a slim internal scrollbar, so they stay a consistent compact size instead
of growing unbounded with the data.
typecheck clean; 126/126 tests pass.
Drop the 11px stacked-segment cap so the bars fill their columns like the
Overview .chart; render only the last 15 days.
typecheck clean; 126/126 tests pass.
Drop the Waste/Reverts/Abandoned/Fixes tabs. One scrolling page: findings
(count + potential in the header), then Reverted and Abandoned session sections;
empty sections hidden. The redundant Fixes tab folds into the findings header.
typecheck clean; 126/126 tests pass (removed 2 now-moot tab-isolation tests;
impact-badge + section coverage preserved).
Drop the Projects/Activity/Tools/MCP/Subagents lens tabs. Everything shows on
one scrolling page: chart + By-project, Cost-flow Sankey, then the breakdown
sections in a responsive grid. Empty sections are hidden. All reflects the
selected date range.
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
Drop the FuelRing (and its now-unused plans polling) from the ov-stats3 card;
the stats row is now Month-to-date + Projected month (2 equal columns).
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
- 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.
- share a shortenProjectPath helper (Sankey + Sessions) so rows show
"projects/eywa" instead of the dash-mangled full path
- fixed-column table layout so values align and stop shifting row-to-row
- TUI-style inline row expansion: click a row to unfold its 8-stat detail in
place (one at a time, chevron + aria-expanded); replaces the navigate-away view
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
Models used a local fmtCompact that forced every token count to "M" (0.0M, 0.5M).
Switch to the shared adaptive formatCompact (K/M/B, whole numbers under 1000).
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
- provider dropdown: filter to providers with actual usage (value > 0) instead
of every known/detected key (Pi, Goose, Warp, etc. no longer show)
- Overview hero: bottom-align the activity heatmap (space-between) so its grid
lines up with the left column's Saved-to-date line
typecheck clean; 128/128 tests pass.
