Summary

  • add a Settings action to refresh the ambient Codex login
  • reuse the existing Codex CLI login runner without creating or deleting managed accounts
  • reconcile the refreshed identity, invalidate stale Codex usage, and trigger a provider refresh
  • keep the action ambient-only and add focused UI/backend selection coverage

This addresses #468, where the external OAuth staleness gate can surface as Authentication required after the Codex CLI session has gone stale. The manual workaround is to re-run the official Codex login flow; this change makes that available from the Codex Accounts panel.

Validation

  • pnpm run check-locale — passed
  • pnpm exec vitest run src/surfaces/settings/providers/sections/credentials/CodexAccountsSection.test.tsx — 8 passed
  • pnpm run build — passed
  • pnpm test — 343 passed, 1 unrelated existing TrayPanel test failed (TrayPanel provider grid > reveals regardless of the shared surface-mode snapshot)
  • Rust cargo fmt/tests and native Windows/CUA verification were not available because this environment has no Cargo toolchain or launchable native build

Fixes #468

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • Updated account guidance to explain how to renew an ambient session.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved coordination between reauthentication and account refresh operations.
    • Reauthenticated accounts now reflect the reconciled account information after login.
    • Persistence failures during reauthentication are now reported instead of being silently bypassed.

Adds ambient Codex account reauthentication across the Tauri backend, bridge, settings UI, localization, and tests. The flow returns the reconciled ambient account and reloads usage data.

Settings shows a “Refresh login” action for ambient accounts. The bridge, locale entries, handler, and tests cover the action and refreshed usage display.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to eaaa7

In this identity-overlap case, refreshing the ambient login can return the wrong account record, leaving callers with inconsistent account identity and credentials. Resolve the account-selection issue before merge.

Fixed the unresolved reauthentication/reconciliation correctness finding from the earlier review.

Root cause: codex_account_reauthenticate returned the object from manager.reauthenticate, which reuses the pre-login account id (and preserves the legacy selected workspace id), while refresh_persisted_accountsload_codex_accounts reconciles a changed ambient identity into a new persisted record. When login changed identity, the command's CodexAccount disagreed with the persisted store and provider-update events.

Fix (apps/desktop-tauri/src-tauri/src/commands/codex_accounts.rs):

  • refresh_persisted_accounts now returns the post-reconciliation account set it persisted.
  • The command resolves its result through canonical_reauthenticated_account, returning the reconciled ambient account so the result agrees with persisted state and emitted events. It falls back to the fresh login identity only when no ambient record can be reconciled.
  • Reconciliation/persistence failure stays non-fatal (consistent with codex_account_add): a committed credential replacement is not reported as a command failure, and the freshly authenticated identity is returned. Credential locking (CREDENTIAL_OPERATIONS), invalidation, provider refresh, and managed-account isolation are unchanged.
  • Added focused backend tests for identity-change reconciliation and the no-reconciled-ambient fallback.
  • Applied cargo fmt (the branch head was not rustfmt-clean).

Validation

  • pnpm run build — passed (locale check + tsc --noEmit + vite build)
  • pnpm test — 344/344 passed (59 files); the previously reported TrayPanel flake did not reproduce
  • pnpm exec vitest run .../CodexAccountsSection.test.tsx — 8 passed
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check — clean
  • Rust cargo test/clippy: not run locally — this workstation has no MSVC linker (link.exe resolves to Git's coreutils link; Visual Studio C++ build tools absent), so every link step fails. The new tests compile/run in hosted CI.

Return the persisted ambient account after reauthentication

canonical_reauthenticated_account matches authenticated before it checks source. When the same identity exists in a managed home, reconciliation merges the ambient discovery into that managed record, because CodexAccount::merge_from prefers managed ownership. The command can therefore return a managed home record instead of the account authenticated through the ambient home. Preserve the reconciled ambient record for this path, and select it before any identity-only match.
