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

Walkthrough

Adds ambient Codex account reauthentication across the Tauri backend, bridge, settings UI, synchronization logic, localization, and tests. Reauthentication refreshes persisted account data and usage.

Changes

Codex ambient account reauthentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reauthentication command and account update
apps/desktop-tauri/src-tauri/src/commands/codex_accounts.rs, apps/desktop-tauri/src-tauri/src/main.rs, rust/src/codex_accounts/account_manager.rs
The new command selects the ambient account, reauthenticates it, refreshes account state, invalidates usage, emits provider updates, and triggers provider refresh. Credential operations are serialized.
Settings integration and localization
apps/desktop-tauri/src/lib/tauri.ts, apps/desktop-tauri/src/surfaces/settings/providers/sections/credentials/CodexAccountsSection.*, apps/desktop-tauri/src/i18n/keys.ts, rust/src/locale.*
Settings shows a “Refresh login” action for ambient accounts. The bridge, localized labels, handler, and tests cover the reauthentication flow and refreshed usage display.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5d8dd

Refreshing an ambient Codex login can return account data for the prior identity when the login changes identities, leaving callers with inconsistent account state. Return the reconciled ambient account before merging.

Return the reconciled ambient account.

If the login flow authenticates a different identity, authenticate_account preserves target.id, but refresh_persisted_accounts stores the newly discovered ambient identity under a new ID. Line 259 then returns the stale ID. The command result can disagree with the account list and provider-update events.

After reconciliation, resolve and return the canonical ambient account from the reconciled account set.
