Linux parity TODO

This is the current list of useful Linux/Plasma work relative to the official CodexBar macOS app. The agent updates it with every new stable upstream release and every change that implements or invalidates an entry. Follow release maintenance. Issues linked below preserve discussion; this file owns parity status.

Review baseline

• Last release reviewed: CodexBar 0.57.0, commit 45cda6084d6415795053624b80ca3f8c05026580, checked 2026-09-09.
• Coverage: release changes from 0.56.2 through 0.57.0 against Plasma 3e818ae71dda1ccada2e8f8d662bb883c21d4da9. The review records the intervening releases, source comparisons, and scoped Linux 0.57.0 probes.
• Full CLI baseline remains the 0.56.2 audit. Later probes verify only their named cases. Older blockers below retain their last verified version; source inspection is not authenticated output evidence.

Implementable on Linux

Spend freshness

• Refresh stale Usage & Spend data on tab revisit and calendar-day changes. Use the existing cost command and CostRefreshPolicy.js; preserve cached charts, in-flight guards, and failed-attempt cooldowns. Done when a stale view refreshes on return and across midnight without scans on metric/day selection. Evidence: 0.57.0 comparison.

Blocked on official Linux CLI contracts

These are useful Linux features once the named contract exists. Do not fill these gaps with provider scraping, auth flows, or config parsing in QML.

Provider settings

• Enable generic settings and token-account editing through official descriptors and writes. Linux 0.57.0 still rejects config providers --descriptors; its provider records have no descriptor. Keep existing enable/disable, supported single-key setup, and link fallbacks working. The proposal covers source mode, keys/cookies, URLs, workspace/project, region, AWS profile/auth mode, and booleans. Remaining editors include token accounts, auth nuances, organization/team, metric, per-provider thresholds, and Fireworks multi-account slug editing. Done when the named controls have released generic contracts and tested Plasma support. Prior discussion #167.

Provider onboarding

• Add CLI-described browser-cookie import, local-file setup, OAuth/device flow, CLI-auth setup, and token-account actions. Linux 0.57.0 still has no generic config action command. Done when supported actions expose validated prompts/results and handle cancellation, failure, and stale responses in Plasma. Preserve current key/link setup. Prior discussion #168.

Rich usage and credit allowances

• Consume generic billing/pricing details, richer model/request/token usage, credit allowances, and unknown-usage windows with reset metadata. These gaps were verified at 0.56.2; authenticated 0.57.0 cases remain unverified. Existing generic details/charts work. Done when each additional section has bounded official fields and tests, with unknown amounts distinct from zero. Plain credit balances need their own allowance before gaining a meter; the Codex monthly-cap denominator is not generic. Prior discussion #169.

History and forecasts

• Display credit history, plan-utilization history, hourly activity, and session-equivalent forecasts when official history/forecast fields supply units and missing-data semantics. Last verified at 0.56.2. Done when supported histories have bounded normalization and views; retain any remaining types here. Never reconstruct history or session conversion rates from a current snapshot. Prior discussion #170.

Cursor cost

• Show Cursor cost history through the generic Linux cost path. Linux 0.57.0 still rejects Cursor and lists Antigravity, Claude, and Codex as supported. Done when a released Linux command emits supported cost data and Plasma tests cover its amounts, currencies, and trust metadata. Prior discussion #171.

Service-tier totals

• Show Standard/Fast totals from explicit official tier fields. The scoped 0.56.8 daily-model check established no service-tier contract. The 0.57.0 empty cost probe does not establish one either. Done when official Linux output identifies tiers and bounded amounts with tested legacy fallback. Never infer tier from models, prices, or tokens. Cost evidence; prior discussion #172.

Cost availability

• Replace the Antigravity-specific unknown-cost fallback with explicit official availability metadata. At 0.56.2, established-empty history used zero despite unavailable costs. The 0.57.0 fresh-history probe omits amounts, but does not verify that established-empty case. Done when verified Linux fields distinguish unavailable from measured zero, with old-payload compatibility and usable token charts. Prior discussion #173.

Structured localization

• Localize opaque provider/incident/error/reset text and pace headroom through official identifiers or typed fields. The remaining contract gap is carried from 0.56.2; authenticated 0.57.0 output has not been exhaustively rechecked. Known states and structured pace forecasts already translate. Done when supported fields use catalogs with placeholder/plural checks and bounded unknown-value fallbacks. Translation guide; prior discussion #174.

Display currency

• Offer display-currency selection and conversion through an official Linux contract. The 0.56.2 audit records no display-currency setter or descriptor; the scoped 0.57.0 config probes still expose neither. Plasma currently displays the CLI-emitted currency. Done when released settings and converted amounts define currency, rate provenance, and unavailable-conversion behavior, with tested Plasma selection/display. Keep conversion and exchange-rate acquisition in the CLI and preserve separate currencies until then. Pinned blocker.

Automatic balance text

• Show a typed money/points balance when automatic panel text has no quota. macOS 0.57.0 uses provider-specific prose parsing for several cases. A generic official Linux amount, unit/currency, and availability contract is missing. Done when the widget can display that record without parsing provider text, overriding a real quota, or treating a balance as an allowance. Source comparison.

Verify before accepting implementation work

These are unresolved Linux candidates, not confirmed missing features.

• Verify credits.balanceReadSucceeded and separate purchased-balance freshness in official Linux output. 0.57.0 source encodes the flag, while Plasma currently reads remaining without it. Reproduce failed reads, confirmed zero, and cap-only data safely, then classify and specify the normalization change. Source evidence.
• Compare exhausted automatic text/popup quota selection with the exact 0.56.6 cases. Automatic panel capsules already show primary and secondary. Keep direct lane choices and independent quota pools. Accept a change only after reproducing a useful difference with existing Linux fields. Comparison.
• Verify account identity and stale-data behavior against the 0.56.3–0.57.0 changes: same-email workspaces, measurement timestamps, and transient multi-account failures. Compare official Linux records with Plasma account selection/cache tests before classifying a gap; retain CLI ownership of credential matching and recovery. Generic failed-refresh retention and redacted quota restoration are implemented; account identity and credential recovery cases still need the named official CLI probes. Pinned on CLI 0.56.2: the Claude usage payload carries no account identity fields (usage.identity holds only providerID), so the frontend cannot show a Claude account email. Release coverage.
• Evaluate the weekly reserve indicator against a pinned macOS behavior and an official Linux field. Record accept/reject and, if accepted, a concrete display contract. Existing quota lanes and run-out forecasts are implemented. Prior discussion #175.
• Decide whether reset-imminent notices add value beyond current quota, pace, and completed-reset notices. Accept only quiet, opt-in, transition-based behavior backed by official timing data; otherwise remove the candidate. Prior discussion #176.

Scope and completed behavior

The usage guide describes implemented Plasma behavior, including panel composition with automatic dual-quota capsules and vertical provider meters, settings preview/privacy, grouped panel text and expandable Panel options, local sessions, notifications, and interactive cost/token charts. Claude 0.57.0 --breakdown is text-only; existing JSON daily/model views already consume its underlying data.

macOS-only features do not enter this backlog. The release review records exclusions. Provider parsing, pricing, authentication, and scanning fixes are CLI-owned; a new upstream implementation is not a missing QML port.
