Vision

CodexBar is the menu bar control surface for AI provider limits, credits, spend, status, and reset windows. It should keep adding useful provider coverage while preserving fast refreshes, privacy-first local data handling, and shared provider-driven UI instead of one-off surfaces.

Merge by Default

• Performance improvements, unless they add too much complexity.
• Bug fixes with clear cause and bounded risk.
• New model/provider support that follows existing descriptor, strategy, settings, and test patterns.
• Small UI or UX tweaks.
• Documentation fixes.

Needs Sign-Off

• New features.
• Package, dependency, or toolchain changes.
• Broad refactors or architecture changes.
• Changes that add meaningful maintenance complexity.
• Behavior changes that affect provider auth, data storage, releases, or user privacy.
• Provider additions that need new host APIs, bespoke UI, broad filesystem access, or unclear auth/privacy behavior.
