OpenAI web integration (Codex)

What it adds

Usage limits (5‑hour + weekly).
Credits remaining (balance).
Code review remaining (%).
Usage breakdown (dashboard chart).
Credits usage history table (when present).

When enabled, CodexBar uses the web dashboard for Codex usage + credits and only falls back to the Codex CLI when no matching browser cookies are found.

Opt-in + privacy

Toggle: Settings → Providers → “Use Codex via web”.
Reuses existing browser cookies; no credentials stored.
Web requests go to chatgpt.com (same as your browser session).

Cookie/session model

Import order: Safari → Chrome → Firefox (Safari first to avoid Chrome Keychain prompts when Safari matches).
WebKit uses per-email WKWebsiteDataStore so multiple accounts can coexist.
Email mismatch: if browser email ≠ Codex CLI email, treat as not logged in for that account (cookies retained for later match).

Troubleshooting

Safari cookie access may require Full Disk Access; Settings UI links to the system pane.
Dashboard layout changes can break scraping; errors surface in Settings with a short body sample.
