Linux parity review at CodexBar 0.60.5

Checked 2026-09-18 against Plasma commit c69b0a0. The macOS reference is official v0.60.5, commit 2ac2323629ce0e3b3759707013aeb4a6c77161c1, published 2026-09-17 at 21:49:35 UTC.

This is a release-delta review for useful Linux behavior. It covers the single stable release published after the 0.60.4 review and does not repeat the full 0.56.2 contract audit. Current open parity work belongs in TODO.md.

Linux CLI contract changes since 0.60.4

Compared 937b208...2ac2323 under Sources/CodexBarCLI/ (4 files) and the consumed Core payload models.

Cost incomplete-request counts (new contract, verified in emitted output). CostPayload, CostTotalsPayload, CostDailyEntryPayload, and CostModelBreakdownPayload each gain incompleteRequestCount: Int?. The key is encoded only when greater than zero, so an absent key means "none reported", and combined counts saturate instead of overflowing (CostUsageIncompleteRequests.sum). An incomplete request is one that lacked final usage; the CLI excludes it from that day's tokens and cost and reports the count instead. This is the first change to the cost JSON schema since the 0.56.2 baseline.
Only-incomplete days stay unknown, not zero. A day whose requests are all incomplete keeps date, modelsUsed, and modelBreakdowns but omits totalCost and totalTokens; the model breakdown omits cost and totalTokens too. Upstream text renders that day as — · — tokens · Incomplete. Plasma's normalizeCostDaily already drops a daily record with no cost, tokens, or token parts and blocks calendar filling for that date, so the day is treated as unknown rather than as a measured zero. The count itself is not consumed yet.
serve dashboard only. DashboardCostPayload gains todayIncompleteRequestCount and last30DaysIncompleteRequestCount. Plasma does not consume serve.
Usage JSON envelope unchanged. No new keys on usage, credits, identity, or detail rows. CopilotProviderDescriptor now reads the existing copilot-seat-credits detail row's progress as a macOS switcher used-percent fallback, which is presentation over the detail-row fields that are still source-observed only. This strengthens the existing verification candidate without adding a contract.
No config contracts. config providers --descriptors is still rejected, set-api-key remains the sole writer, and the provider list is unchanged.
Provider internals. Kimi ratio-pool decoding, Cursor team-spend budgets, Antigravity gen_metadata schema classification (supported/foreign/unsupported), and the Claude recovered-session error text are fetcher-side. The Claude error strings stay opaque display text.

0.60.5 features against existing Plasma behavior

Incomplete cost requests. New useful Linux work: the widget can mark a partial day, total, and model row instead of presenting an amount that silently excludes requests. Generic, bounded, and already emitted on Linux. Recorded in TODO as implementable.
Codex validated catch-up windows (#3669). Store-side publication and retention. Plasma consumes the published payload and already retains prior cost data; no frontend change.
Claude cost corrections (#3684, #3688). Long-context pricing boundaries and estimate rebuilds are CLI-owned values inside the existing schema, except for the incomplete counts above.
Cursor Enterprise member budgets (#3646) and unconfirmed-credential retry stop (#3703). Fetcher-side; Cursor cost is still rejected on Linux, so no Plasma path changes.
Kimi ratio-pool quotas (#3697). Provider decoding that flows through the generic quota fields. No new contract.
Copilot seat credits in provider tabs (#3681). macOS switcher presentation over detail-row progress. Plasma keeps its own automatic selection; the underlying numeric row stays an unverified Linux candidate.
OpenCode Go monthly picker (#3645) and Codex System Account redaction (#3702). macOS menu-bar picker and menu labels. Automatic selection and privacy are frontend-owned on Plasma, which already hides personal information in its own surfaces. Excluded.
Antigravity foreign-database skipping (#3699) and CSRF-gated readiness (#3685). Local-source robustness inside the CLI. No Plasma change.
Sharing dates and captions (#3692, #3706), Sparkle staged updates (#3693), Homebrew copy button (#3686), keychain symlink recognition (#3690), SSH username case (#3700). macOS app, updater, or CLI-internal. Excluded; the sessions change affects CLI-side deduplication only.

Scoped official Linux probes

The official CodexBarCLI-v0.60.5-linux-x86_64.tar.gz asset passed the release's SHA-256 check: 2700156a941547cc75d79cfdffd35bec5c0332ea49c5a1c301479abc662c43d8. Assets and checksum are on the official release.

Probes ran inside a network-isolated Bubblewrap process with temporary home, configuration, cache, and data roots, a cleared environment, and no host credentials reachable. No installed CLI was replaced. The extracted asset reports CodexBar 0.60.5.

Two synthetic Claude project logs supplied the cost cases: a priced request with output and cache tokens, and requests with stop_reason: null, input_tokens > 0, no output, and no cache keys, which the scanner classifies as incomplete.

Probe	Result
`cost --provider claude --format json --json-only` (mixed day)	Exit 0; `incompleteRequestCount` present at top level, in `totals`, in the daily entry, and per model breakdown. The day reports only the complete request's cost and tokens.
`cost --provider claude --format json --json-only --pretty` (only-incomplete day)	Exit 0; that day omits `totalCost` and `totalTokens`, keeps `date`, `modelsUsed`, `modelBreakdowns`, and reports `incompleteRequestCount: 1`.
`cost --provider claude --breakdown`	Exit 0; `· Incomplete` markers on today, the window, daily rows, and model rows, plus `Incomplete: N requests lacked final usage and were excluded from tokens and cost.`
`cost --provider codex --format json --json-only`	Exit 0; empty history, `historyCoverageIsEstablished: true`, no `incompleteRequestCount` key.
`cost --provider antigravity --format json --json-only`	Exit 0; empty daily/projects, no cost totals, `historyCoverageIsEstablished: false`. Unchanged shape.
`cost --provider cursor --format json --json-only`	Exit 1, `cost is only supported for Antigravity, Claude, Codex.`
`cost --help`	Unchanged flags; no availability or tier options.
`config providers --format json --json-only`	Exit 0; 69 records, keys `provider`, `displayName`, `enabled`, `defaultEnabled`.
`config providers --descriptors --format json --json-only`	Exit 1, `error.kind: args`, `Unknown option --descriptors`.
`config --help`	Existing commands only; `set-api-key` remains the sole writer.
`usage --provider claude --format json --json-only`	Exit 1, `No available fetch strategy for claude.` Envelope keys unchanged.
`sessions --json-v2`	Exit 0, empty array in the isolated account.

No authenticated usage, credit validity, workspace balances, Copilot seat rows, Antigravity progress rows, service tiers, or display-currency behavior was exercised. Those limitations remain explicit in TODO.

Carried-forward blockers

Every blocker in TODO remains open. 0.60.5 adds no provider settings descriptor, generic config action, Cursor cost support, service-tier field, structured localization identifier, or display-currency contract. The cost availability blocker keeps its remaining scope: the new counts explain requests excluded from a measured amount, while an established-empty history with unavailable costs still reports zero without metadata.
