Changelog

Notable changes to the standalone Plasma widget are recorded here, following Keep a Changelog. The upstream codexbar CLI has its own release history.

This file starts with version 0.2.35, summarized from its published notes. For earlier versions, see GitHub Releases.

Unreleased

0.2.43 - 2026-09-27

Added

• Hide titled provider detail sections in the popup. Restore individual sections from the popup's collapsed Hidden detail sections list or all sections for a provider from Popup settings, without saving CLI titles in preferences.

• Usage & Spend offers Month to date and All history ranges beside 7, 30, and 90 days, using the calendar periods of CLI 0.67.0 or later. An older CLI shows which release they need, and the day ranges keep working.

• Hide individual usage rows from a provider tab in the popup with the button that appears beside their percentage on hover or keyboard focus, and restore them from Popup → Hidden usage rows. The hidden button does not shift the percentage, which stays aligned with the end of its meter. The panel, Overview, and notifications keep every row.

• Cost history rows, model rows, and a selected day in the provider cost details state how many incomplete requests the CLI excluded from their amounts.

• Bundle the fallback name, icon, documentation link, dashboard link, and brand color for the Aixy, Raycast, and xKiro providers that official CodexBar 0.67.0 adds to the registry. Aixy and xKiro offer the widget's API-key setup; Raycast needs a macOS-only web source. Aixy rows are titled "Budget" and "Secondary budget", and xKiro's row "Daily free tokens".

Changed

• Usage rows of providers the widget has no translated title for use the CLI's own lane title, such as Memory, instead of a generic Session, Weekly, or Opus.

• Cost lines in Usage & Spend and provider cost sections separate the amount and token count with ·.

• The Sessions tab rescans every 30 seconds while it is visible, or at the refresh interval when that is shorter, so a session no longer stays marked active minutes after it went idle, and ended sessions leave the list sooner.

• Session cards mark the active state with the theme's positive color instead of the provider color, and dim idle sessions. They keep one copy action, beside the title, and drop the copy action for the details line.

• Session details use · as the separator and show the host only when sessions come from more than one host.

• Provider popup polish: reset credits join the Credits group as a labeled row instead of a separate section, unselected provider tabs dim their icon while keeping the provider hue, the connection-error state centers a muted status glyph below its banner, account buttons show a tooltip only when their label is cut short, and the accounts header no longer shifts while loading.

• The shared usage card aligns the token and cost captions on one line, uses the same muted caption style for its Providers and Top models headings, and drops the outline from each row so the rows no longer read as nested cards.

Fixed

• Reveal cut-short provider header titles, accounts, and plans in a tooltip on hover, matching tab and account delegate behavior.
• Expand the panel status dot hover target so hovering over the status indicator reliably shows its incident tooltip.
• Global popup tabs reveal their title in a tooltip when their text label is truncated on narrow layouts, matching provider tab behavior.
• Hardened panel settings preview against invalid credit balances, clamped preview container geometry against negative values, and ensured empty provider icon fallbacks resolve to "view-statistics" rather than invalid asset paths.
• Name the Plasma widget's author in its metadata and license notice while retaining CodexBar's upstream copyright notice for reused icons. The bundled Poe icon now has its separate CC BY 4.0 attribution in the package.
• Diagnostics → Versions no longer keeps showing the System CLI (PATH) row after the command path changes, before the selected command is checked again. The CLI version shows Checking... during its first check.
• Applying settings no longer undoes usage rows or detail sections hidden or restored in the popup while the settings window was open. Plasma writes every value of the current page, and the General and Popup pages now follow the popup's changes while keeping their own pending restores.
• Keep quota warning and reset state when a refresh temporarily omits a usage window, avoiding duplicate warnings and missed reset notices when it returns.
• Preserve an unapplied history-window choice in General when the popup changes its calendar period; days and calendar mode now stay pending together.
• Keep the last provider list and show the command failure when the CLI returns JSON with a nonzero exit status.
• A provider's cost history rows, Peak line, latest-day summary, and Details for title use the system locale's short date, like its chart, instead of the CLI's YYYY-MM-DD keys.
• With CLI 0.67.0, cost ranges keep their translated title, such as "Ultimi 30 giorni", instead of the CLI's English "Last 30 days".
• Align provider detail row key labels with the primary value's top line when a secondary value (subtitle) is present, so the key label no longer floats between the primary and secondary lines.
• The provider Cost history peak line names the day its seven rows highlight, instead of an older day of the range that the rows do not show.
• Test connection in the AI Insights settings updates the API key status, so a key that the first wallet lookup missed, for example while the wallet was locked, shows as stored and can be replaced or removed.
• Exclude o1-preview and o1-mini snapshots from OpenAI model discovery: they lack json_schema structured outputs, so selecting them always failed.
• Give the Popup settings category its own sidebar icon instead of reusing the Providers icon, so the two pages are distinguishable at a glance.
• Bound the implicit width of the CLI release, managed CLI, and version status text in General and Diagnostics to the same 24-grid-unit measure as the other settings hints, so long status lines cannot force the form into narrow mode or push content past the viewport.
• The activity heatmap's weekday rows start on the locale's first day of the week and no longer rotate as days pass; empty cells close the newest week.
• Chart axis, readout, and heatmap dates use the locale's short date format instead of the CLI's YYYY-MM-DD keys.
• OMP sessions are labelled OMP instead of the generic Pi provider name.
• Restore the Docs menu entry for the ClinePass and LongCat providers in the popup and Providers settings. Both guides exist in the official docs tree, but the fallback table had no rows for them.

Security

• Keep credential-redaction lookahead when filtering loader diagnostics, so a key crossing the inspection boundary cannot leave an unredacted prefix. Credential-like paths still allow nonfatal loader warnings to be filtered.

0.2.42 - 2026-09-25

Added

• Bundle the fallback name, icon, documentation link, and dashboard link for the Atlas Cloud, DevPass, Vercel AI Gateway, and llmman providers that official CodexBar 0.66.0 adds to the registry, plus brand colors for all but Vercel AI Gateway, whose white mark would vanish on a light theme. All four offer the widget's API-key setup. DevPass rows are titled "Plan credits" and "Premium weekly", and llmman's daemon memory row is titled "Memory" instead of "Session".

Fixed

• Center content vertically in popup tab buttons.

• Codex no longer treats a reset-credits record with a missing, zero, or invalid count as extra popup data, so an error-only Codex card is still recognized and no empty extra section is reserved.

• Harden the TODO gate helper: it refuses Decisions redirects instead of following them with the API key, rejects oversized responses, and bounds its git probes with a timeout.

• Report staged checksum and VERSION files that are not decodable text as unverified instead of a generic error, matching other refused downloads.

• Keep the stored AI Insights model when opening settings. Opening and saving the page no longer clears the model, so AI Insights stops asking for reconfiguration when nothing was changed. The stored model is also offered as the initial picker entry, so the menu is not empty on open before a connection test lists the service.

• Report OpenRouter failures that arrive inside a successful reply, such as a rate limit or exhausted credits, with their real reason instead of an unexpected-format error, so a rate limit also pauses further requests for the response's Retry-After.

• Leave OpenAI models that AI Insights cannot use out of the model list: the Responses-only -pro and deep-research models; GPT-4, GPT-4 Turbo, and GPT-3.5; chatgpt-4o-latest; and GPT-4o snapshots before 2024-08-06, which lack structured outputs. Test connection no longer reports them as usable.

0.2.41 - 2026-09-24

Added

• Move between popup tabs with Home and End, and wrap the Left and Right arrows around from the last tab to the first and back, following the common tab keyboard pattern.

• Describe popup quotas to screen readers. Overview rows now announce their quota and reset beside the detail line, and provider tabs announce the quota their underline draws, stale usage, and a refresh error that was previously shown only by dimming the tab.

• Show the full provider name when hovering a labelled popup tab whose name is cut short, and the full title and detail line when hovering an Overview row whose text is cut short.

• Add optional AI Insights (beta), off by default: a short Overview card that explains quota risk, forecast exhaustion, and week-over-week spending or token changes using a local Ollama model, OpenRouter, or OpenAI. It writes in the widget's interface language, sends only aggregated statistics, keeps API keys in the system wallet, and generates only on request unless an interval is chosen.

• Draw a progress meter under provider detail rows that report a used/total pair, such as Bifrost budgets. Rows without one keep their text unchanged.

• Add a square CodexBar icon for the KDE Store listing, with a 512-pixel PNG and an editable SVG source.

• Install or update the latest widget release from one terminal command without cloning or building the repository. Setup verifies the release package, offers a private official CLI when needed, and asks before restarting Plasma. Non-interactive setup is supported; private CLI selection remains in settings.

• Share the selected Usage & Spend history as a local PNG or plain-text summary, with a separate preview, native image clipboard and save picker, bounded provider/model rankings, separate currencies, partial-data notices, and a small repository attribution. Exports exclude account and project details.

• Show Quota weeks in a provider's expanded cost details: the local cost and tokens of the current weekly quota window and up to three earlier ones, with exact boundaries; a current week with no full day yet is omitted until it has one. Totals that count a whole day around a mid-day reset are marked as estimated, unknown days are never counted as zero, and weeks older than the scanned history are omitted. This mirrors the macOS 0.62.0 recent-windows list and needs no new CLI contract.

• Bundle the fallback name, icon, brand color, and documentation link for the Bifrost, Charm Hyper, and GitKraken AI providers that official CodexBar 0.65.0 adds to the registry, plus dashboard links for Charm Hyper and GitKraken AI and the gk alias. GitKraken AI also offers the widget's API-key setup. Charm Hyper's default source and Bifrost's gateway URL have no supported Linux setup path yet.

• Bundle the fallback name, icon, documentation link, and dashboard link for the Helmcode, v0, and TypeSafe providers that official CodexBar 0.64.0 adds to the registry. Brand colors and status links are omitted because upstream defines none; the widget uses the theme highlight and hides missing links by design. v0 also offers the widget's API-key setup, which the 0.64.1 CLI accepts for it; Helmcode and TypeSafe are cookie-only and have no supported Linux setup path yet.

• Bundle the fallback name, icon, and documentation link for the Pi provider that official CodexBar 0.63.0 adds to the registry. Brand color and dashboard, login, and status links are omitted pending verifiable upstream sources; the widget uses the theme highlight and hides missing links by design.

Changed

• Panel quota capsules no longer borrow a warning look. When a provider's brand hue sits within 20 degrees of the theme's warning or critical color, such as Z.ai's red or Claude's orange in Breeze, its capsules use a muted version of the brand color while the icon keeps the brand color. The muted color keeps the capsule's contrast and replaces the brand only when the result stays farther from the warning colors than the brand was. Any quota above zero now fills at least a round dot, as popup meters already did, so 4% remaining no longer looks like an empty capsule.
• Refine the popup's visual hierarchy. Content sits on the native Plasma dialog background without a nested inner frame or a separator under the tab strip. A selected tab now has a clearly visible surface, and a provider tab's underline is only its quota meter, so a partly filled bar no longer reads as a selection. Overview, session, and spend rows share borderless surfaces and identity tiles. The provider header separates account and plan.
• Keep a provider's quotas ahead of its cost history in the detail view. The cost section drops the day count the axis and summary already state, uses a flat metric selector and details toggle, and sets its estimate note in the same small type as the other cost footnotes. A current incident appears once, as the severity banner below the header, instead of also as a header badge.
• The Usage & Spend activity heatmap names each weekday row in the system locale and widens its cells up to a 2:1 tile, so long ranges use the width without stretching short ranges into bars. Rows stay unlabelled when the history is not calendar aligned.
• Bring the six settings pages to the popup's visual language. Explanatory text uses one quieter small style and sits under the text of the check box it explains; the CLI release notification option is indented under its parent like the widget update options. Panel and Providers use the popup's flat details toggle, and opening Panel's quota, order and visibility options no longer shifts the form sideways. The selected provider appears on one borderless surface with its identity tile, and long setting names wrap. Popup groups provider order and Overview providers under Providers, Diagnostics places redacted diagnostics in the same form under Provider diagnostics, and Notifications explains an unavailable incident option directly below it. Settings, defaults and saved values are unchanged.
• The popup smoke runner captures every settings page, including Providers with a long synthetic roster, narrow pages with larger text, and error states. --theme light|dark applies a Breeze color scheme and --language runs any scenario in a shipped translation.
• Keep the Crof fallback metadata after official CodexBar 0.64.1 retired the provider, so an older installed CLI that still reports it keeps showing a named provider instead of the unknown-provider fallback.
• make check runs its checks concurrently and exposes each one as its own target, such as make check-shellcheck, so contributors can iterate on a single check instead of the whole suite. make check JOBS=2 bounds the concurrency on a constrained machine.
• The check suite also lints GitHub workflows with actionlint and the Python scripts and tests with pyflakes. Both are optional locally and report themselves as skipped when absent; CI installs them.

Fixed

• Label a full-form IPv6 loopback Ollama endpoint such as http://[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]:11434 as on this computer. The settings page only recognized [::1], so equivalent spellings of the loopback address showed the remote-address warning even though the helper accepts them as local.
• Saving an aggregate usage snapshot as a PNG now reliably writes the chosen file instead of failing after the file picker closes.
• Keep a provider's healthy cost data when its cost record carries a falsy error flag such as false, 0, or an empty message. Only a real error now marks the provider failed and drops its totals from the snapshot.
• Fall back to the provider title or roster display name when a provider record supplies a whitespace-only display name, instead of accepting an empty string and overriding configured provider names.
• Report a fresh setup as current when another setup run installed the release first. The post-lock recheck compared against the synthetic 0.0.0 version instead of the installed widget, so the second run reinstalled redundantly.
• Show the date of a reset a week or more away when reset times are shown as clock time. A weekly limit that just reset no longer reads as resetting later today, and a monthly limit no longer reads as this week's weekday.
• Report a clear setup error when neither HOME nor an absolute XDG_DATA_HOME locates the user data directory, instead of stopping on an unbound variable shell error.
• Keep the AI Insights settings privacy note local for loopback Ollama addresses with a path, such as http://localhost:11434/v1, instead of warning that statistics are sent to that address.
• Show a provider's Today cost as unavailable when the cost snapshot was scanned on an earlier day, such as before midnight or before a failed refresh, instead of presenting that day's spend as today's.
• Count down the popup's "Runs out in" pace forecast like the panel run-out text. It kept the duration received with the last usage refresh, so with no periodic refresh or a long interval it still promised hours of quota after the forecast time had passed, while the reset time beside it counted down.
• Escape markup in notification bodies. Plasma renders a notification body as rich text, so a provider status message or quota label containing HTML could show as a clickable link to any address, or as bold text or an image, and a literal < or & could disappear. Notification text is now shown as typed.
• Make the quick-install command's prompts reach the terminal. The documented one-liner piped the installer into Bash, so it never offered the private CLI or a Plasma restart. The updated command runs the downloaded installer with bash -c; unattended runs stay non-interactive.
• Serialize widget upgrades so two widget instances, setup, or make update can no longer run overlapping kpackagetool6 upgrades, which could delete the installed widget. An instance that finds the release already installed by another one reports the widget as current instead of reinstalling it.
• Report a managed CLI download that timed out, lost its connection, or ended early as an unreachable release server instead of a generic or verification failure. A CLI release check interrupted mid-response keeps showing the installed version.
• Align top-right header action buttons to the top across Overview, Usage & Spend, and Sessions views, matching ProviderHeader alignment and avoiding vertical button jumps when switching popup tabs or when header subtitles expand.
• Align provider header identity icon tile to the top of the row, matching the refresh button and title heading alignment when account, plan, or update metadata expands the middle column.
• Keep a fully measured share export free of an incomplete-data warning when its model ranking has more rows than the six shown, while still flagging missing model costs and source scans that reached their safety bound.
• Mask unknown provider identifiers in shared images and statistics when personal information is hidden, and mark quota-week amounts as partial while the CLI is still establishing local history coverage.
• Keep absolute paths embedded in model labels out of shared images and text.
• Mark quota-week cost and token totals as partial when a measured day excludes incomplete requests, and show both boundaries of the current week.
• Mark Quota weeks totals as partial when the cost history is older than the current day and has not scanned the trailing dates of a quota week.
• Mark a quota week as partial when its last day comes from a cost scan taken before midnight. After a midnight reset, the week that just closed no longer shows an exact total that is missing the end of its last day.
• Bound Diagnostics commands shell-side with GNU timeout --foreground --kill-after, so a hung codexbar diagnose or provider list is killed instead of surviving as an orphan after the page times out or the dialog closes. The shell bound (50s plus a 5s kill grace) stays inside the existing 60s page timeout, and systems without GNU timeout run the raw command unchanged. A command reaped by the bound reports the same timeout message as the page timeout instead of an exit-code line or the shell's own signal notice.
• Omit the AI Insights spend or token comparison when its weekly totals overflow, instead of sending null amounts in the request snapshot. Finite daily values can still sum past the largest double, which serialized as null and broke the documented finite-amount contract.
• Report an AI Insights Test connection stopped by its time bound as a timeout instead of an unexpected-format error. A listing killed by the shell bound arrives with an empty reply and exit code 124 or 137, which the model-list path now reads like the insight-generation path does.
• Redact password, secret, private_key, and client_secret values in CLI messages and diagnostics. Previously only authorization, bearer, cookie, API-key, and token shapes were masked, so a CLI error such as login failed: password=hunter2 reached the UI verbatim.
• Re-enable the AI Insights settings Clear button when a new insight is saved after a clear while the page stays open. The button stayed disabled until the settings dialog was reopened.
• Clear the AI Insights model list when the Ollama address is edited. A finished Test connection left the previous server's models selectable, so the untested address could present a model it never listed as working.
• Hide a quota reset label when its numeric reset date is unusable instead of printing the raw value. An out-of-range or infinite resetsAt reached the quota row as digits such as 8640000000000001 or Infinity; it now keeps the empty reset like other invalid reset metadata.

0.2.40 - 2026-09-20

Added

• Bundle names, icons, brand colors, and dashboard, status, and documentation links for the five providers official CodexBar 0.61.0 added to the registry: Nous Portal, Muse Code, CodeRabbit, Replicate, and Hugging Face. They previously fell back to the CLI name, a generic icon, and the theme highlight color.

• Install an optional widget-managed CodexBar CLI, update it manually or with opt-in daily automatic updates, and restore the previous version. Official Linux downloads are checksum-verified and activated atomically. External and package-manager installations remain independent; Diagnostics identifies the managed copy. A failed attempt names its reason, so a refused download reads differently from an unreachable release server or an unsupported system.

• Confirm before installing a managed copy while a working external CLI is selected, so the resulting second copy is explicit. Diagnostics also reports the PATH-resolved system CLI version next to the selected command.

• Check official CodexBar CLI releases manually or with optional daily checks and notifications. Package-managed installations keep their original updater; Diagnostics reports installed versions and recognized package ownership offline.

• Publish a Ko-fi donation link through the repository Sponsor button and a README Support section.

• Tell an unreachable CodexBar CLI apart from a provider that is not set up. When the shell reports the configured command as not found or not executable, the empty popup now says so, names the configured value, and points at Diagnostics for an absolute path, instead of offering a retry that cannot start or claiming that no provider is enabled.

• Report the widget version in Diagnostics, plus the CLI version and the absolute command the shell resolved after Check versions. The configured value can be a bare name, so the resolved path is what identifies which executable Plasma actually runs.

• Open the update's GitHub release page when clicking the widget-update notification. The page address is derived from the release tag announced by the updater and stays non-clickable when the installed notify-send is too old to support notification actions.

• Mark cost totals as partial when the CLI excluded requests that lacked final usage, naming how many were left out of the displayed cost and tokens. The notice appears for a provider and for the aggregate Usage & Spend total, and closing it keeps the same warning closed even when the count changes.

• Draw a faint peak reference line across bar charts at the highest plotted value, grounding the vertical scale of the columns before any point is inspected.

Changed

• Restyle the Usage & Spend provider breakdown rows as subtle cards with a bordered, tinted provider identity tile matching the overview and provider header tiles.

Fixed

• Align provider header account label typography with secondary plan and timestamp metadata by using small font size.
• Keep Automatically update the managed CLI daily switchable while it is on. Selecting a command outside the managed copy previously disabled the checkbox with the setting still enabled, leaving no way to turn it off and letting the widget keep starting an update helper that could never act.
• Standardize helper text font sizing across General, Notifications, and Diagnostics settings pages to use Kirigami.Theme.smallFont, matching the secondary label typography used in Panel settings.
• Normalize carriage returns and Windows line endings when reading the resolved executable path from the environment probe, so a CLI reporting CRLF output does not fail path validation in Diagnostics.
• Mark the CLI version and resolved path as not found immediately when running Check versions with an empty command path in Diagnostics.
• Open descriptor action URLs only when the returned HTTPS address fits in 2048 characters, matching the existing descriptor text bounds. Longer addresses now report an unsupported URL instead of opening externally.

Full diff

0.2.39 - 2026-09-17

Fixed

• Keep the Average/day line visible when every day in the cost history window was measured as zero, matching the zeros the history rows below it already print. A window with no measured day still shows no average.
• Align popup usage dashboard section heading typographic hierarchy with other popup card section titles by using a level-4 primary heading.
• Keep oversized popup tabs aligned at their start when focus or selection is reported again, instead of alternating between the tab's start and end.
• Preserve measured zero costs and token counts in recent history rows instead of omitting them when the other amount is positive.
• Select the genuinely highest-usage provider automatically even when usage differs by a fraction of a percentage point; service incidents only break ties.
• Choose empty-usage messages from validated account identities: malformed identity fields no longer imply available account limits, and supported legacy identity fields receive the same message as nested identities.
• Show a real countdown for providers whose CLI reports a numeric reset date: the stored reset now keeps a parsable date, so the popup no longer prints the raw timestamp digits and the panel "resets within" rule matches again.
• Open the displayed provider's detail tab when clicking or keyboard-activating its standalone panel icon, instead of reopening a previously selected tab. The widget icon still toggles the popup when no provider is selected.
• Keep the panel visibility rule editor's condition combo and threshold spinner in sync with external settings changes, such as the restore-defaults action, after an interactive pick or typed value in the widget settings.
• Show hover tooltips on the clear-override and reload buttons in provider account selection.
• Keep the panel quota-lane combo in sync with external settings changes, such as the restore-defaults action, after a manual pick in the widget settings.
• Match stored panel provider selections canonically when toggling, so raw CLI spellings and mixed-case IDs resolve to the same provider instead of leaving a stale entry that cannot be removed.

Full diff

0.2.38 - 2026-09-13

Added

• Offer Configure providers when the popup has no provider data, and Retry and Settings beside usage errors. The messages point to Providers or Diagnostics in widget settings. Retry keeps last-known quotas visible and cannot repeat while a usage refresh is running.
• Refresh stale Usage & Spend history when revisiting the tab and when a visible spend view stays open across midnight. The existing hourly cost lifecycle still guards in-flight scans and failed-attempt cooldowns, cached charts stay visible during refresh, and switching the cost/token metric or inspecting a day still starts no scan.
• Contribution guidelines, a security policy with private vulnerability reporting, and issue forms for bug reports and feature requests.

Fixed

• Eliminate duplicate section separators in the popup detail view when plain credit balances are absent but other additional sections are displayed.
• Ignore malformed configuration checksum replies so they cannot clear cached quotas or trigger unnecessary usage refreshes.
• Reserve initial readout row height in interactive charts so that hovering a point for the first time does not cause a vertical layout shift.
• Guard session refresh activity calculations against missing, null, or non-string command sources, avoiding uncaught exceptions during refresh scheduling.
• Keep partial cost refreshes working when a provider error message is malformed, retaining its previous costs while healthy providers update.
• Respect the automatic refresh interval after a failed Sessions scan when reopening the popup or revisiting the tab, while allowing immediate manual retries and scans after changing the CLI command.
• Preserve valid Codex quotas and named accounts when optional login-method metadata is malformed, and use a valid fallback for the plan label.
• Keep disabled Overview providers from occupying the three selection slots, while preserving their saved selection when other providers are chosen.
• Provider setup no longer reports a successful save when a CLI error has no readable message. Structured error messages cannot interrupt result handling; the widget shows a generic failure instead.
• Keep unavailable days in their calendar positions in the Usage & Spend activity heatmap, so missing cost or token values do not shift weekday rows or shorten the displayed range.
• Show cost refresh errors beside retained provider costs, including when the details are collapsed, so older values do not hide a failed update.
• Coalesce cost-setting changes applied together into one scan using the final settings, avoiding duplicate scans that immediately replace each other.
• Keep panel run-out countdowns tied to each forecast's receipt time, so selecting a cached account cannot restart an old or expired prediction.
• Preserve the original measurement age when selecting a cached account whose usage timestamp is missing, invalid, or future-dated, so old quotas cannot become fresh again or extend their 24-hour retention limit.
• Keep last-known quotas when a provider error has an empty or malformed message, showing a generic error while healthy providers and current status still update.
• Preserve healthy usage records after a malformed sibling in provider-scoped CLI replies, including measured-zero quotas, while keeping all-invalid replies as provider errors.
• Keep settings checkboxes stable in right-to-left layouts under KDE/Breeze styles, avoiding repeated width binding loops while the pages settle.
• Keep the provider filter tabs usable with KDE styles whose tab buttons expose no content item, avoiding repeated QML errors when opening Providers settings.
• Use the pinned KDE CI image’s authenticated package indexes so an outage of the archive’s current metadata does not block checks and package builds.
• Preserve ampersands and angle brackets in provider selection and settings checkbox labels when KDE styles process keyboard mnemonics.
• Preserve quota, pace, and reset notification baselines when a successful CLI reply contains obsolete quotas alongside current service status, avoiding repeated warnings and missed reset notices when fresh usage returns.
• Clear completed Sessions snapshots and update metadata when the configured CLI command changes, so a failed or timed-out scan cannot display sessions from the previous executable.
• Hide pace and run-out forecasts when an otherwise successful quota snapshot is older than the 24-hour retention limit, while preserving its last-known measurement and current service status.
• Keep failed usage replies from borrowing another account's quota when distinct account keys share a display label or the account is identified only by its organization. Failures without identity still retain the last known quota, and the startup cache still restores its own for a provider whose explicit account selection its context already verified.
• Keep the healthy accounts listed in the account picker when another account record in the same codexbar reply cannot be read.
• Preserve newer retained usage and its last-known timestamp when startup cache restoration is delayed past a failed refresh.
• A tiny negative credit balance that rounds to zero now reads as 0 instead of the negative-zero string -0.
• Preserve valid provider usage when the CLI supplies a malformed optional status URL, falling back to the provider's bundled status page instead of discarding its usage snapshot.
• Keep the last known provider incident ID across active status replies that omit it, including notification priming, so a replacement incident at the same severity is still announced without repeating the original incident.
• Preserve valid provider quotas when the CLI supplies malformed optional reset metadata, ignoring the unusable reset value instead of discarding the provider snapshot.
• Preserve valid provider quotas when the CLI supplies a malformed optional provider display name, ignoring the unusable name instead of discarding the provider snapshot.
• Align reset countdown / timestamp text with pace metadata along the text baseline in provider usage rows.
• Aggregate per-model cost and token totals by the raw model identity instead of the bounded display label, so distinct models that share a truncated or whitespace-collapsed label no longer merge into one row.

Full diff

0.2.37 - 2026-09-10

Added

• Choose which providers appear in the panel through Panel → Panel providers. The selection lists the enabled providers, follows the saved provider order, and is limited to the four meters the panel can draw; the panel text, meters, and tooltip follow it, while the popup keeps showing every enabled provider. Leave the selection automatic to show all enabled providers, as before. Clearing every checkbox keeps the widget icon without provider text or meters. Disabled providers keep their saved selection without blocking new choices; only the first four enabled selections appear. Automatic checkboxes recognize provider aliases and mixed-case IDs. The preview uses enabled provider names after the selection list loads, with synthetic measurements for every provider.

Changed

• Refresh quotas when the popup opens by default, so a widget that was idle, suspended, or running without periodic refresh no longer presents an old measurement as current. Only quotas older than the refresh interval are fetched, and failed attempts keep their cooldown, so reopening the popup does not repeat the command. Existing widgets keep their stored choice; new widgets and General → Restore all defaults get the new default, and the setting can be turned off again in General.

Fixed

• Keep every enabled Panel → Additional information item readable when several providers fill the panel. The panel used to squeeze the provider name, usage text, and credit balance into whatever the meter row left over and cut the result short, so "Claude 82% used 125cr" arrived as "Claude 82% u..." and a complete value became a fragment reading as a different one. The panel now surrenders whole items instead, dropping the provider name first because the icon beside it already identifies the provider, then the credit balance, and keeping the usage text. The full text stays in accessible names, and only a single remaining item is ever elided. For a provider the widget has no icon for, the panel draws a generic icon that names no provider, so there the name outlives the credit balance instead. The panel also offers the text every pixel the row actually leaves, instead of a flat allowance that hid content while space was free.
• Report the credit balance in the panel tooltip while panel credits are enabled, so a crowded panel that had no room to draw it does not leave a pointer user without it. No meter carries the balance, and the tooltip previously reported only quotas and incidents.
• Keep Popup and Notifications settings text and controls in place while the page opens. The themed scrollbar gutter stays reserved instead of appearing and then disappearing as the content settles, and the Popup overview section carries the same width bound as its provider-order sibling while the provider list arrives.
• Keep the stored value in the editable settings fields for the custom refresh interval, the update check interval, and both quota thresholds when the typed text holds no number, instead of replacing a configured value with an unrelated default. Clearing the custom interval field, or committing its "No periodic refresh" text, no longer turns a disabled refresh into five minutes.
• Keep accounts that differ only by internal spacing separately selectable and pass the unmodified name to --account, instead of collapsing one label onto the other and requesting the wrong account.
• Never show the previous executable's cost data beside the new quotas after the command source changes, even when the cost refresh fails.
• Survive malformed provider status fields and keep the healthy providers of the same refresh, settling loading instead of leaving it active.
• Revalidate carried account keys before use, so a blank or overlong stored key falls back to the snapshot identity instead of reaching deduplication, selection, or the --account argument.
• Skip structured account identity fields when choosing the --account identity, so a malformed value cannot mask a valid fallback from another identity field.
• Screen the provider id inside the per-provider guard during usage parsing, so a failing identity read drops only its own provider instead of aborting the whole refresh.
• Retain failed providers after a partial cost reply only from the same command source, so a source change cannot re-tag the previous executable's costs with the new source.
• Show the panel incident badge on the affected provider's own meter icon, so reordering providers moves the outage marker with that provider instead of leaving a dot beside whichever provider comes first. The badge stays visible while a refresh runs. The standalone status dot remains only as a fallback for incidents no meter can badge (meters hidden, or the incident provider has no meters), and the vertical identity icon carries a badge only for its own provider's incident; an incident on another provider keeps the standalone fallback when meters are hidden.
• Place the subscription label directly beside the account email in the provider header, instead of letting it drift toward the middle of the popup, and let the account elide first on narrow popups.
• Stop presenting an "all systems operational" service status as the overview account line. Providers whose CLI payload carries no account identity (such as Claude on verified CLI 0.56.2) now show no substitute identity; an active incident still appears, and the detail line no longer repeats the provider's own name or source.
• Recover provider actions when a secret prompt stops responding: the dialog closes after a long escape-hatch deadline and the stuck pending state clears, instead of leaving the provider disabled until the settings page reopens. Late submissions retain the full bounded save window.
• Complete provider fallback slots when a malformed reply fails late, and report account normalization failures as errors for the affected provider.
• Keep provider configuration polling connected when another widget instance has already cached a response for the same command.
• Keep the provider cost metric picker in sync with the shared cost and token history selection after picking an entry.
• Keep the Panel settings preview visible while scrolling through content, quota, order, and visibility options.
• Avoid repeating the selected provider's icon with custom panel element orders when it is the only visible provider meter.
• Ignore malformed cost breakdown/model rows and keep chart dimensions finite.
• Clear chart selection and hover state when point data disappears, allowing keyboard navigation to recover when data returns.
• Normalize provider fallback requests before deduplication and preserve scalar zero/false CLI text values.
• Keep theme calculations finite when inputs are unavailable.
• Avoid tab overflow controls during initialization.
• Anchor tab tooltips to their hover areas and improve accessibility labels for heatmap cells and decorative controls.
• Animate the panel provider meter hover/press highlight and the Usage & Spend heatmap cell hover outline, matching the smooth transitions already used for every other interactive surface in the popup. The heatmap outline is a separate overlay, so the cell's painted fill never shifts on hover.
• Confirm hover on session cards, which reveal copy actions on hover but previously left the card surface unchanged.
• Fade the chart readout in and out with the hovered point instead of blinking the label and value on every pointer entry and exit.
• Fade the tab selection indicator with the tab background it sits under, instead of blinking the accent bar on every tab change.
• Hold tooltips back for the standard Plasma hover delay instead of flashing them the instant the pointer crosses a tab, a panel status dot, or a copy button. The heatmap cell readout and the copied confirmation stay immediate.
• Grow the panel capsule fill into a new reading, like every meter in the popup already does. The settings preview keeps rendering a static frame.
• Truncate popup section headings and labels that fill the available width, so a long translation or a provider-supplied cost title can no longer push the row wider than the popup.
• Narrow the panel tooltip to the hovered provider meter, so hovering one panel icon reports only that provider's quotas instead of the whole roster. The full list remains when hovering elsewhere.
• Lay the Usage & Spend activity heatmap out as a complete block instead of a small patch of squares stranded beside an empty half of the tab. Its cells now stretch into the width a short range leaves unused, the grid is padded so a partial final week no longer cuts a week-wide notch out of it, and ranges that fill a single week column hide the heatmap, which repeated the chart above it one day per row.
• Reject oversized diagnostics responses with a clear error instead of buffering them for display, matching the other CLI surfaces.
• Allow mouse selection in the diagnostics output and bound the diagnostic provider field, matching the provider settings inputs.
• Recognize provider aliases and mixed-case IDs in the Overview provider checkboxes, matching the runtime selection and the panel provider selection, so a stored choice stays checked when the roster spells it differently.

0.2.36 - 2026-09-09

Added

• Last-known quota recovery after failed refreshes and Plasma restarts, with explicit freshness labels, a 24-hour retention limit, and a redacted persistent cache.
• A versioned changelog, included in the widget package and used as the source for future GitHub release notes.

Changed

• Panel settings start with appearance and meters. Additional information holds provider name, usage text and format, credits, and the monochrome preset. Quota, order, conditions, and automatic selection have their own expandable section. Closed summaries reflect enabled information and custom choices. Standard and Minimal are side by side.
• Default panel order groups optional text with the selected provider's capsules, using one logo. Hidden or unavailable meters retain a separate text identity; custom element orders keep their independent positions.
• Panel meters place a small provider icon beside primary and secondary quota capsules, with matching geometry in colored Standard and monochrome Minimal. Meters now work in vertical panels. Explicit quota choices still show one capsule; visibility conditions accept either displayed quota. Tooltip and accessibility descriptions report both quotas and resets.
• Linux parity work is maintained in TODO.md, with agent review of each stable upstream release and updates in the PR that implements a feature.
• Reorganized installation and troubleshooting instructions, with dedicated guides for settings, cost history, and development.
• Contributor delivery uses pull requests with required check and smoke jobs. Agents follow CI through completion after pushes and authorized merges.
• Pull request titles follow Conventional Commits and are checked automatically.
• CI cancels superseded PR runs and omits graphical smoke tests for changes limited to editorial Markdown. Checks and packaging still run; releases keep full graphical coverage.

Fixed

• Provider details and project costs no longer trigger recursive Qt layout warnings when opened or resized. Long values stay within the popup.
• Panel settings keep text and controls in place while the page opens, including when the scrollbar disappears or collapsed sections finish sizing.
• Restored cached provider quotas are retained across partial early refreshes during startup, preventing premature eviction of unrefreshed providers.
• Primary incident selection, tooltips, and status banners ignore providers with unknown or inactive status, preventing stale outages from masking active incidents.
• Successful responses without measured quotas keep valid credits and details even when their supplemental timestamp is older than the quota-cache limit. They no longer show a last-known banner or turn into cache-expired errors.
• Last-known quota handling: unknown service status no longer keeps showing the previous outage, extra-lane quotas survive restarts, expired quotas keep no measurement instead of undefined state, the restore banner only shows when data is actually stale, per-provider resets keep healthy providers' disk cache, empty usage results keep CLI error detail, stale supplement sections are hidden until revalidated, measurements older than 24 hours no longer stamp as fresh, future live timestamps use receipt time, overview rows keep account/status context beside the last-known note, and long update timestamps ellipsize on one line.
• Panel settings no longer query a rebuilding element-order layout's attached size hints, avoiding a Qt layout crash when expanding and reordering controls.
• Panel text falls back to a separate label if meters exhaust the width available for grouped text.
• The settings preview now renders quota capsules from its synthetic data after QML converts provider records for delegates.
• Credit balances that round up to a whole number no longer keep a trailing ".0" (99.95 credits read as "100"), and huge magnitudes no longer gain a bogus group separator.
• Token, request, and point counts now use singular and plural forms in usage and cost summaries, while large counts keep their compact notation.
• Corrected quota and plan labels, login actions, and settings wording across the five translations. The Brazilian Portuguese panel style is now translated, and French and Spanish pace percentages use consistent spacing.
• Switching the account of the configured provider no longer starts a usage command twice in a row, discarding the first run immediately.
• Provider settings descriptors whose schema version is not exactly the supported number stay unsupported instead of being accepted through type coercion, and malformed quota-threshold inputs keep their documented fallbacks instead of collapsing to a 1% warning for every provider.

0.2.35 - 2026-09-08

Added

• Dedicated General, Providers, Panel, Popup, Notifications, and Diagnostics settings pages, with a live panel preview.
• Optional privacy mode for widget views and new notifications, refresh-on-open for stale usage, and controls for popup pace, credits, and provider details.
• Compact Today and period cost summaries, expandable history, and model details for the selected day. Missing amounts and partial model coverage stay explicit.

Changed

• Fresh installations use Standard provider icons and usage meters by default. Existing appearance options and saved preferences are preserved.

Fixed

• The Accounts action could stay disabled after a reply arrived following a CLI settings change.
• Malformed cost, chart, and account data could interrupt display updates.
• Cost history could lose days with zero cache tokens.
• The panel loading fallback was missing in some states.
