Summary

With Allow reading Claude Code's credentials off (the default), Claude usage only came from Claude Code's own login. If that login is missing or expired, Auto falls through to the CLI probe and the Claude card goes blank, even when a working account saved through Add account already exists in CodexBar.

This PR lets the primary Claude usage fetch use that saved account in exactly one safe situation: consent is off and there is exactly one saved account that CodexBar never installed into Claude Code. Its token is renewed in CodexBar's own store (reusing the existing saved-account renewal), and Claude Code's credential files are neither read nor written on this path.

How it stays safe:

  • Store gets an optional installed_in_claude_code marker. It is set by switch, save_current, and reauthenticate of the live login, and cleared by remove or a fresh isolated import (a new sign-in is a new refresh-token chain). A saved copy that shares Claude Code's refresh-token chain is never offered, so its token is never rotated behind Claude Code's back. Older builds ignore the field and older stores load unchanged.
  • With zero or several candidates nothing is chosen (without consent the active login is unknown), and the existing path and its error are used unchanged.
  • fetch_account and the new path now share one helper instead of duplicating the refresh logic.

None found. Related but different: #787 (usage for non-active accounts in the tray) is not addressed here.

Affected areas

  • Tray panel

  • CLI
  • Provider-specific behavior (Claude)
  • Installer / release packaging
  • Startup / background behavior

Validation

Run locally on this branch (rebased on current main):

  • cargo fmt --all --check
  • cargo clippy --manifest-path rust\Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo clippy --manifest-path apps\desktop-tauri\src-tauri\Cargo.toml --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test --manifest-path rust\Cargo.toml (3749 passed)
  • cargo test --manifest-path apps\desktop-tauri\src-tauri\Cargo.toml (639 passed)
  • scripts\local-check.ps1 was not run; the commands above are the same Rust slice.
  • Thermo-nuclear review: I applied the checklist manually to the diff. No file crosses 1,000 lines (accounts.rs 817 -> 944, oauth/mod.rs 845 -> ~900), the new path reuses ensure_fresh_credentials, update_saved_oauth and CredentialSource::saved_account, and the only added branch in fetch() is a single guarded early return. I did not run the Cursor skill itself.
  • Other: new unit tests cover single/multiple candidates, the marker across switch / save_current / import / remove, and loading a store without the marker.

Manual check on a real Windows machine (Claude Code login expired, consent off, one saved account added through the app): the release CLI built from this branch logs Claude Code credentials are off; using the standalone saved account and prints Claude usage with the saved account's email and plan. A forced-expired saved token was renewed and persisted to the saved-account store by this renewal path, and a later run reused it.

UI / tray proof

  • Not applicable: no UI, tray, or settings code changed. The only user-visible effect is that the existing Claude card is populated instead of showing an error.

I confirmed the tray card on an equivalent earlier build of the same change (based on 0.70.0), but not on this exact commit, and I did not use CUA Driver, so I am not attaching screenshots.

Notes for reviewers

  • Policy question: this path reads CodexBar's own saved-account store without the Claude Code consent toggle. I believe that is consistent with the toggle's purpose (Claude Code's own files and token chain), and the marker exists to keep it from ever touching a shared chain. If you would rather require consent for any saved-account usage, the guard is the single !claude_code_consent() condition in fetch().
  • Known limit: if the only saved account has been switched into Claude Code, nothing is offered and the behavior is unchanged from today.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • When Claude Code credential access is disabled and your app login is missing or expired, usage can fall back to a single saved Claude account that isn’t installed in Claude Code.
    • The fallback renews the saved account’s token in CodexBar without changing Claude Code. It’s used only when exactly one eligible saved account is available; otherwise, the existing credential flow continues.

…entials are off

With "Allow reading Claude Code's credentials" off (the default), Claude
usage only came from Claude Code's own login. If that login is missing or
expired, Auto fell through to the CLI and the panel went blank even though a
working saved account existed in CodexBar.

When consent is off and exactly one saved account was never installed into
Claude Code, fetch usage from it and renew its token in CodexBar's own store.
Claude Code's credential files are never read or written on this path.

Track which account CodexBar last installed into Claude Code (switch,
save-current, reauthenticate of the live login) so a saved copy that shares
Claude Code's refresh-token chain is never rotated. A fresh isolated sign-in
or removal clears the marker. fetch_account now shares its body with the new
path instead of duplicating it.

📝 Walkthrough

The Claude account store now tracks installed and isolated accounts. When Claude Code credential reading is disabled, the OAuth fetch path can use a qualifying standalone saved account for usage before continuing through the existing credential path.

Changes: Claude account usage fallback

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track installed and isolated accounts
rust/src/providers/claude/accounts.rs
The store records installed and isolated account IDs. Account operations update this metadata. Standalone credentials are available only when exactly one non-installed account has isolated provenance. Tests cover eligibility, metadata updates, legacy stores, and unreadable identities.
Fetch usage from a standalone account
rust/src/providers/claude/oauth/mod.rs, CHANGELOG.md
When credential-reading consent is disabled, the fetch path tries a qualifying standalone account and applies its saved metadata to the usage result. If no account is available or lookup fails, the path continues through the existing credential flow. The changelog describes this fallback.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2ab9c

Claude usage can break in two edge cases. If a write fails after switching accounts, CodexBar may renew a token that Claude Code still relies on. A saved account can also take precedence over an explicitly set CodexBar OAuth token. Both cases are narrow, but they are worth fixing before merge.

Full details: Provider Data Stays Siloed

Explanation

PASS: The diff keeps the new behavior inside Claude provider code. It selects one isolated Claude account, uses that account's OAuth data, and copies that same account's email, organization, and plan into the Claude usage result. It clears the internal account identity because Claude Code's active identity is unknown. It persists only Claude account data and provenance in Claude's accounts store. No changed code adds a ProviderId branch in shared code or sends data from another provider or account.

Full details: Secrets Handled Safely

Explanation

No changed path sends credentials to logs or user errors. New tracing calls log only a candidate count, generic messages, or ordinary I/O/fetch errors; they do not format access tokens, refresh tokens, or headers. Standalone refreshes pass active = false and write_ambient = false, then persist only through AccountManager::update_saved_oauth and secure_file::write_string in CodexBar's own store. Claude Code credential-file writes remain limited to explicit account save, switch, or reauthentication actions. The PR changes only CHANGELOG.md, accounts.rs, and oauth/mod.rs, with no snapshot changes.

Full details: No Unapproved Dependencies

Explanation

The pull request changes only CHANGELOG.md, rust/src/providers/claude/accounts.rs, and rust/src/providers/claude/oauth/mod.rs. It does not add or modify any Cargo.toml or package.json, add an npm/yarn lockfile, or change the pinned pnpm packageManager version. No unapproved dependency addition is present.

Full details: Ui Changes Include Windows Proof

Explanation

The PR changes only CHANGELOG.md and Claude provider/account code. It does not change desktop UI, tray rendering, float bar, settings, or window chrome files. The description also records a real Windows check using a release CLI built from this branch. No UI-proof failure condition applies.

Stores saved before the installed marker existed do not say how an account
was saved, so an unmarked account may share Claude Code's refresh-token
chain. Keep an explicit isolated-accounts list, fed only by a fresh CodexBar
sign-in, and offer only those accounts for standalone usage.

Saving Claude Code's live login now records the account, its installed
marker, and the isolation change in one store write. Installing an account
into Claude Code clears its isolated mark.

  • Thread on accounts.rs about non-atomic store writes: saving the live login now uses one import_into store write (5685a397).

🟠 Major · A failed marker write after a switch leaves the installed account marked… · accounts.rs:434-437

rust/src/providers/claude/accounts.rs:434-437
🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

A failed marker write after a switch leaves the installed account marked as isolated.

switch replaces Claude Code's credentials first. It then calls set_installed_in_claude_code(Some(id)) and treats a failure as best-effort. When that write fails, the target account stays in isolated_accounts, and installed_in_claude_code still points to the previous account or is None. standalone_usage_credentials can then pick the target, which Claude Code is now using. fetch_standalone_saved_account then renews that refresh token in CodexBar's store. Claude Code still holds the old refresh token, so its next renewal can fail.

You can reproduce this with the existing Windows test switching_does_not_require_a_metadata_write_after_credentials_change. It imports b:two (isolated), makes the store read-only, and switches. After the switch, b:two is installed in Claude Code but still has isolated status. No live login existed, so no store write happened before the credentials changed.

That test requires the switch to succeed without a store write, so you cannot simply make the marker write mandatory. Add a second check in standalone_usage_credentials that does not depend on this write. Exclude the account whose ID matches current_account_id(). That function reads only .claude.json, and fetch already calls it when consent is off.

Add deterministic tests for the new standalone fetch path.

The tests in accounts.rs cover only which account is chosen. Nothing tests that this function clears account_identity, replaces account_email/account_organization/login_method with saved values, or calls ensure_fresh_credentials with write_ambient = false. The repository tests already use mockito. Add a test with a fixed usage response that shows that a renewal updates only the saved store and leaves .credentials.json unchanged.

As per path instructions: "Flag fetch or parse changes that come without deterministic samples or fixtures."

Partly addressed in 799739a. apply_standalone_summary() is now a separate step, and the new test standalone_result_takes_saved_labels_and_drops_token_identity covers it: the saved email, organization, and plan replace the live identity, and the token identity is dropped.

Not covered yet: the full fetch_standalone_saved_account network path. The usage and profile URLs are hard-coded constants, and the usage gate writes a global file, so a mockito test needs a URL seam and an isolated gate first. The write_ambient = false renewal check (store updated, .credentials.json unchanged) is also not tested in this commit. Both are left for a follow-up.

@Finesssee Thanks for clarifying. The new test covers the saved labels and removal of account_identity.

The full fetch path and the renewal check remain untested, so this finding stays open. Would you like me to open a follow-up issue for the URL seam, isolated usage gate, and remaining tests?

You are interacting with an AI system.

- Drop a switched-to account's isolated provenance before the credential
  swap, so a later marker write cannot leave Claude Code's login eligible.
- Honor CODEXBAR_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN before the standalone fallback runs.
- Name the real eligibility rule in the CHANGELOG entry.
- Test the saved-label step of the standalone result.

Round 2 follow-up pushed in 799739a (fast-forward from 2ab9c6c).

Outside-diff MAJOR, fixed: switch() now drops the target account's isolated provenance before the credential swap. Before this, a marker write after the swap could leave Claude Code's login eligible for the standalone fallback. A new #[cfg(unix)] test, failed_switch_does_not_leave_the_target_isolated, pins this.

CodeRabbit's suggestion (exclude current_account_id from the check) was not used. It broke the existing test shared_login_marker_follows_save_current_import_and_remove, which needs the current account to keep its marker through save, import, and remove.

Residual gap, documented rather than fixed: when no Claude Code login exists and the credential store cannot be written before and after the swap, the provenance clear cannot be confirmed.

Other round-2 changes: CHANGELOG wording (4303738974), CODEXBAR_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN precedence over the standalone fallback (4303738979), and apply_standalone_summary() with a test (4303738982). The network path of the standalone fetch is still untested; see the reply on that thread.
