Walkthrough

This change adds a configurable Switchyard menu bar companion for macOS. It reads routing logs, probes server health, estimates model costs, and displays usage summaries. It also adds scripts and Make targets to install and remove the app and configure Codex routing. The Linux installer and uninstaller retain calls to removed helpers.

Changes

Switchyard Menu Bar Companion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage collection and summaries
crates/switchyard-menubar/Cargo.toml, crates/switchyard-menubar/src/{config,health,rollup,pricing,summary,app}.rs, crates/switchyard-menubar/README.md
Adds settings loading, server health probing, daily and weekly routing-log rollups, model cost estimates, and summary rows. The refresh function combines usage, health, and configuration. Tests cover parsing, accounting, estimates, formatting, and refresh output.
CLI and menu bar interface
crates/switchyard-menubar/src/{main,icon,tray}.rs, crates/switchyard-menubar/README.md
Adds CLI handling, a generated menu bar icon, and a macOS tray menu with refresh, restart, config-opening, settings-opening, and quit actions.
Installer helpers and macOS Codex routing
scripts/common.sh, scripts/{linux,macos}/*, Makefile, Cargo.toml, tests/test_{linux,macos}_install.py, crates/switchyard-menubar/README.md
Adds shared shell helpers and macOS install and uninstall scripts for the app, LaunchAgents, and Codex configuration, plus Make targets and tests. Linux install and uninstall scripts retain calls to removed helper functions.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~50 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8c4af

The macOS installer can write an invalid Codex config or menu bar settings file in specific configurations, such as a quoted provider key or a path containing quotes or backslashes. The menu bar can also freeze briefly during restart. Fix the installer issues before merging.

139-154: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bound the routing log or use an incremental reader.

RoutingLog appends to routing.jsonl without retention or rotation. The tray calls app::refresh synchronously on the UI thread at the configured interval and after menu actions. Each refresh parses the complete log, so the work grows with the log size and can delay menu updates for large logs. Keep a byte offset with running totals, or add a retention limit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix authority parsing for IPv6 and URLs without a port.

The check on Line 36 decides whether a port is present by looking for any : in the authority. An IPv6 literal such as [::1] contains :. As a result, the code never appends the default port. to_socket_addrs then fails, and the probe reports the server as stopped. When a URL has no port, the code appends :4123. That default is not the scheme default, but it does match the server default, so it is acceptable. Check for a port after the closing ] instead.

Proposed fix
-    if !authority.contains(':') {
+    let host_end = authority.rfind(']').map_or(0, |i| i + 1);
+    if !authority[host_end..].contains(':') {
         authority.push_str(":4123");
     }

Run restart_server and open off the main thread.

command calls Command::output() on the AppKit thread and waits for the child process to exit. launchctl kickstart -k can wait for the server to stop. While it waits, the status item freezes. Run these actions in a background thread with std::thread::spawn, then let the loop refresh the menu.

Open the selected settings file from the tray action.

When the CLI receives a custom SETTINGS_FILE, main loads that file but tray::run does not retain its path. The “Open menu bar settings…” action then opens Config::default_path(), so the user edits a different file.

Suggested fix
-    let config = match Config::load(&settings.unwrap_or_else(Config::default_path)) {
+    let settings_path = settings.unwrap_or_else(Config::default_path);
+    let config = match Config::load(&settings_path) {

These two suggestions price Codex's "Approve for me" reviews in the menu bar. #872 adds a codex-auto-review route to scripts/config/composite.toml, which this installer copies to ~/.switchyard/composite.toml. With that route, the routing log records every review under codex-auto-review. That model has no price in menubar.toml, so the menu bar hides the Saved row for every period that includes a review.

With the codex-auto-review route from #872, the routing log records each "Approve for me" review under codex-auto-review. estimate in pricing.rs returns None when any model seen has no price, so the first review hides the Saved row for that day and week. With a ChatGPT login, Codex sends these reviews to codex-auto-review even without Switchyard, so I'd price it at the baseline_model rates. Reviews then add the same amount to the actual cost and to the baseline: the dollars saved stay the same, and the percentage drops a little.

Savings are the difference, so routing overhead counts against the figure and
a bad day shows a negative number. Dollar figures stay hidden until every
model seen has a price, so a partial table cannot mislead.

Could the README say which model ID needs a price for reviews? Someone who points the reviewer route at another model otherwise loses the Saved row without knowing why.

Suggested change
model seen has a price, so a partial table cannot mislead.
model seen has a price, so a partial table cannot mislead.
Codex's "Approve for me" reviews count too. The server config that the
installer writes sends them to `codex-auto-review` on the ChatGPT backend. With
a ChatGPT login, Codex sends these reviews to `codex-auto-review` even without
Switchyard, so the installer prices that model at the `baseline_model` rates.
Each review then adds the same amount to the actual cost and to the baseline,
so reviews do not change the dollar amount saved. They do lower the percentage
a little, because the baseline grows. If you change `baseline_model`, update
this price to match.
The menu bar needs a price for the model ID that the routing log records for
reviews, which is the reviewer target's `id`. Without that price, the menu bar
hides the Saved row for every period that includes a review. The installer does
not overwrite an existing `composite.toml` or `menubar.toml`, so an existing
install needs the route and the price added by hand.
