The test blocked on a DispatchSemaphore with a 15s deadline, commented as running "on a real thread, not the cooperative pool". Swift Testing invokes synchronous test bodies from a task on the cooperative pool, so the wait parked one of activeProcessorCount workers on the very task group it was waiting for. With 16 cores locally there is slack; on the 3-core macos-latest runner, alongside the rest of the parallel suite, the group made no progress at all and the wait expired. Await the group directly instead, which also lets the compiler reject the blocking wait (unavailable from async contexts), and bound the test with .timeLimit rather than a hand-rolled wall clock. Assert each child came back with a signal status, so the test now proves the timeout killed every hung process instead of only that the group returned. Reproduced by parking all but 3 cooperative threads for the run: 3/3 failures at 15.0s before, 3/3 passes after. 10x full suite under CPU load: 160/160. |

CodeBurn Menubar (macOS)
Native Swift + SwiftUI menubar app. The codeburn menubar surface.
Requirements
- macOS 14+ (Sonoma)
- Swift 6.0+ toolchain (bundled with Xcode 16 or standalone)
codeburnCLI installed globally (npm install -g codeburn)
Install (end users)
One command:
codeburn menubar
That's it. The command records the persistent codeburn CLI path, downloads the latest .app from the newest mac-v* GitHub Release with a matching checksum, verifies it, drops it into ~/Applications, clears Gatekeeper quarantine, and launches it. Re-running it upgrades in place with --force, or just launches the existing copy otherwise.
Build from source
For contributors running a local build instead of the packaged release:
npm install -g codeburn # CLI the app shells out to for data
git clone https://github.com/getagentseal/codeburn.git
cd codeburn/mac
swift build -c release
.build/release/CodeBurnMenubar # launch
On macOS 14 (Sonoma) without Xcode 16
swift build above assumes the macOS 15 SDK, whose SwiftUI marks the View
protocol @MainActor. The Sonoma SDK (shipped with Command Line Tools) lacks
that annotation, so a plain build fails with ~80 main actor-isolated ... from a nonisolated context errors.
(The -10825 launch failure itself is fixed by Package.swift's .macOS(.v14)
deployment target: ld64 drops the macOS-15-only libswift_errno.dylib
dependency for any build with that target, regardless of which SDK built it, including the CI-distributed release. This local-build path exists only for
the narrower case of building on a Sonoma machine with nothing but the
Command Line Tools, where the SDK's un-annotated View protocol needs the
@MainActor patch below.)
Use the helper, which builds against the local macOS 14 SDK with a standalone
swift.org Swift 6.x toolchain and
adds explicit @MainActor to the views in a scratch copy (repo sources stay
clean), producing a minos = 14.0 bundle installed to ~/Applications:
mac/Scripts/build-local.sh # then: codeburn menubar
Build & run (dev against a local CLI checkout)
cd mac
swift build
# Point the app at your dev CLI build instead of the globally installed `codeburn`:
npm --prefix .. run build
CODEBURN_ALLOW_DEV_BIN=1 CODEBURN_BIN="node $(pwd)/../dist/cli.js" swift run
The app registers itself as a menubar accessory (LSUIElement = true at runtime). No Dock icon.
Data source
On launch and every 60 seconds thereafter, the app spawns codeburn status --format menubar-json --no-optimize directly (argv, no shell) via CodeburnCLI.makeProcess and decodes the JSON into MenubarPayload. The manual refresh button in the footer invokes the same command without --no-optimize, which includes optimize findings but takes longer.
Release installs record a persistent absolute CLI path in ~/Library/Application Support/CodeBurn/codeburn-cli-path.v1, then fall back to Homebrew's common codeburn locations. For development only, set CODEBURN_ALLOW_DEV_BIN=1 with CODEBURN_BIN; the value is validated against a strict allowlist before use, so a malicious env var can't inject shell commands.

Status
Live data wired. Next iterations:
- FSEvents watch for
~/.claude/projects/changes (debounced refresh on real edits) - Persistent disk cache for optimize findings so the default refresh can include them without the 30-second penalty
- Currency metadata in the JSON payload + Swift-side formatting
- Sparkle auto-update
- DMG packaging + Homebrew Cask tap
