Narrow the dropdown (380 to 360) and give it more vertical room (620 to 700).
Tighten the subscription cards (less spacing/padding) since they carry only a
few window rows. Make the spend chart taller (18 to 30) and let the user pick
its style in Settings: chunk bars (default) or a line graph with a subtle area
fill. Persist the choice in UserDefaults.
Move Settings out of the menu-bar popover into a standalone resizable AppKit
window so clicking it no longer steals focus and dismisses the bar (the .sheet
inside MenuBarExtra(.window) was the root cause). Force the actual NSWindow
appearance (aqua/darkAqua/system) on both the popover and the settings window
so Light/Dark visibly flips materials and semantic colors, not just custom
tokens. Replace the fragile popover quit dialog with an inline two-step
arm/confirm. Widen the dropdown and increase spacing/type for readability. Fill
the settings window responsively and make Done close it via the window
controller (dismiss() is a no-op in a hosted NSWindow).
Rename the footer 'Alerts' button to 'Settings' (gear icon) since it opens all
preferences including the appearance/theme picker, which was undiscoverable
behind an alerts label. Add a confirmation to the Quit button so a stray click
no longer closes the whole menu-bar app with no easy way back.
Add a theme token system (CCSBarCore/BarTheme.swift): a BarAppearance enum
(system/light/dark, default dark to preserve the current look), light+dark
token palettes, a colorScheme-driven resolver, and a SwiftUI EnvironmentKey.
The root forces .preferredColorScheme so Light renders light even under a dark
macOS, and paints an explicit light window surface. Thread the tokens (accent,
headroom bands, subscription, card surface, track) through every view so the
whole dropdown themes consistently, with chip text blending toward black on
light. Add an appearance picker in Preferences, persisted in UserDefaults.
Dark accent/subscription values are locked byte-identical and harness-guarded;
pool-account rows now share the muted band palette for cross-section
consistency.
Lift chip text toward white so small tier badges (max/pro) read clearly on the
dark surface. Rename the icon toggle from Color/Mono to 'Icon' (it only swaps
the menu-bar icon, not the bar theme) to remove the misunderstanding. Make the
Dashboard button actually work when the server is down: probe reachability and,
if not up, launch 'ccs config' (detached) which boots the web-server and opens
the dashboard itself; degrade gracefully when the ccs binary isn't found.
Lead the dropdown with subscriptions: a dedicated card shows the binding
window as the hero (gauge, remaining %, reset countdown, and a burn-rate
'left at this pace' line), a secondary window, and the Opus/Sonnet split for
Max, with a stale marker for older Codex data. Demote spend/usage to a compact
strip and surface cross-tool headroom. Add pure burn-rate / time-to-exhaustion
and binding-window math in Core. Kill the menu scroll indicator for real
(NSScrollView hider) so content stays aligned. Spend-cap alerts default off
(pay-per-use, opt-in).
Show Claude Code and Codex subscription rows with the Tier 1 quota gauge and
reset countdown, visually distinguished from CLIProxy provider accounts, and
let them drive the existing quota alerts. Formatting + harness coverage for the
native rows.
Add real quota gauges with threshold bands and a reset countdown for
quota-capable accounts. Introduce a pure, deterministic alert rule engine
(CCSBarCore) covering quota-remaining, daily/monthly spend caps, reauth, and
cooldown, with per-rule dedupe keys that re-arm on period rollover or
clears-then-recurs so it never spams. Deliver via UNUserNotificationCenter
with an in-dropdown Alerts fallback when notifications are denied. Add a
preferences surface (per-rule toggles, caps, quota levels, glance mode)
persisted in UserDefaults, and a configurable menu-bar glance
(auto/today/month/lowest-quota/account-count) that still never shows a
lifetime dollar. Default spend caps raised to $500/day and $10000/month.
Mirror the richer analytics payload (quotaStatus, per-account last-active,
bySurface) in the Codable models. Add a per-surface usage section (Claude
Code, Codex, Droid, CLIProxy) with proportional bars beside the existing
spend grid, sparkline, and top models. Rebuild the menu-bar title chain so a
lifetime dollar can never sit in the always-on title (it read as live spend):
quota% then today spend then account count. Rebuild the accounts rows
(default badge, tri-state quota, honest no-data cost, health), pivot to an
honest idle hero when no recent data, hide the scroll indicator, and tighten
spacing.
Menu-bar app that paints cached rows instantly and fires a debounced
force-refresh on open. Dropdown shows per-account health, quota, tier, cost and
paused state with pause/resume, set default, solo and tier-lock actions, plus an
offline state when CCS is not running.
