Resham Joshi 0b96ff182e docs: scrub private strategy notes from public text
Removes references to future signing decisions, dollar amounts, and
star thresholds from the menubar README, the CHANGELOG, the release
workflow (its YAML comments and the auto-generated release body), and
the packaging script. The technical description stays; the 'we are
not paying for X right now' framing is out.

# 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)
- `codeburn` CLI installed globally (`npm install -g codeburn`) or available at a path you pass via `CODEBURN_BIN`
## Install (end users)
One command:
```bash
npx codeburn menubar
```
That's it. The command downloads the latest `.app` from GitHub Releases, 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.
If you already have the CLI installed globally (`npm install -g codeburn`), `codeburn menubar` works the same way.
### Build from source
For contributors running a local build instead of the packaged release:
```bash
npm install -g codeburn # CLI the app shells out to for data
git clone https://github.com/AgentSeal/codeburn.git
cd codeburn/mac
swift build -c release
.build/release/CodeBurnMenubar # launch
```
## Build & run (dev against a local CLI checkout)
```bash
cd mac
swift build
# Point the app at your dev CLI build instead of the globally installed `codeburn`:
npm --prefix .. run build
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.
Override the binary via the `CODEBURN_BIN` environment variable (default: `codeburn` on PATH). The value is validated against a strict allowlist (alphanumerics plus `._/-` space) before use, so a malicious env var can't inject shell commands.
## Project layout

## Status
Live data wired. Next iterations:
1. FSEvents watch for `~/.claude/projects/` changes (debounced refresh on real edits)
2. Persistent disk cache for optimize findings so the default refresh can include them without the 30-second penalty
3. Currency metadata in the JSON payload + Swift-side formatting
4. Sparkle auto-update
5. DMG packaging + Homebrew Cask tap
## Design tokens
Sourced from `~/codeburn-menubar-mac-swiftui.html`. Warm terracotta-ember palette:
- Accent (light): `#C9521D`
- Accent (dark): `#E8774A`
- Ember deep: `#8B3E13`
- Ember glow: `#F0A070`
- Surface (light): `#FAF7F3`
- Surface (dark): `#1C1816`
SF Mono for currency values; SF Pro Rounded for hero.
