v0.1.0

✨ Added

• A redesigned dashboard: a card per account with big-digit readouts, charts and a heading summing up the router, its sessions, where new sessions go, room left and what's coming up.
• Three dashboard views, switched with tab: Accounts, Sessions (a switchboard of cords from each session to its account, with a live log) and Runway (when each account has room, over the day or the week).
• Card charts you cycle with g — a burn-down, a burn rate or an hourglass — and w to choose which window each card features.
• Flip a card (space, or s for all) to see its sessions, pick one out with the arrow keys and pin it to another account with a digit key.
• Live request tracking in the dashboard: pulses along cords as requests go out, answers stream back with token counts, and refusals bounce back red.
• Dashboard themes: built-in nord, tokyo-night, tokyo-night-day, amber, exchange and terminal, a live theme picker on t, light/dark pairs chosen by the terminal's background, and support for your own .theme files in Portal's format.
• A ? help panel listing every key and what the dashboard's glyphs mean.
• GET /history and GET /stream on the router, serving the usage history and a live stream of request events that feed the dashboard.
• The router now keeps a list of recent events — sessions started and moved, limits, pressure, refusals, primes, restarts — shown in the dashboard and the status document.
• [history] keep config option sets how long the readings history is kept (8d to 400d, default 14d).
• Readings history files are compressed once their day ended two days ago.
• Animated demos and stills for the README, recorded from scripted scenarios with the new capturetool.

🔧 Changed

• Reserves are now opt-in on every account, the primary's included — with none set, the router runs every account to its limit.
• usage printed once draws the full Accounts view, with its charts, in your chosen theme.
• The dashboard remembers your view, featured window, chart style and theme between runs.
• The dashboard's colours are brought down to what the terminal shows, and NO_COLOR draws it with no colour at all.
• README rewritten to lead with tracking and routing usage across accounts.

🐛 Fixed

• Router restarts no longer leave a connecting launcher hanging while it stops.
• A config file caught half-saved no longer causes a refused or premature restart.
• A projection no longer reports a window running out when it only reaches its limit just as it resets.

v0.0.6

🔧 Changed

• switchboard usage prints the status document as JSON when its output isn't a terminal, such as in a pipe or an agent's shell — data instead of a dashboard's boxes and bars.
• The switchboard skill now points agents to switchboard status --json for usage instead of the dashboard.

✨ Added

• switchboard status --refresh (-r) — has the router read every account it may first, waiting up to ten seconds, so a limit reset by hand shows up straight away.

v0.0.5

✨ Added

• Pressure awareness for the 5-hour window — the router watches each account's recent rate of use and, when one would run out before its window resets, sends new sessions to the best of the others; running sessions and pinned sessions stay put.
• Readings history — each change to an account's window readings is appended to a daily file under history/ in the state directory, kept for 14 days, so you can look back at how your accounts were used.
• Recent rates survive router restarts — on startup the router reloads the last readings from the history.
• status and usage show when an account is under pressure, with when it runs out and the rate it goes by (under pressure: runs out ~18:21).
• Projections use the last 30 minutes' rate when that has a window running out sooner, labelled (last 30 min) — a burst of use shows at once.

🔧 Changed

• Prime slots fall on ten-minute marks, matching where the API actually starts windows, so the schedule shows real resets (two accounts now prime at 04:10 and 06:40, not 04:15 and 06:45).
• Primes now go 5 seconds after their slot, so they land within the slot's ten minutes even when the Mac's clock runs slightly ahead.
• "Best next" and the router's choice of account both pass over accounts under pressure while another isn't.
• The log notes when a choice passed over an account for pressure, and the choice's reason says so.

🐛 Fixed

• A window you reset by hand on claude.ai is now recognised — its marker and projection measure from the reset rather than the window's start.
• A limit reached before a hand reset no longer sticks — the request is sent again on the same account instead of moving the session away.
• Stale readings from requests sent before a hand reset no longer put the dropped use back.

v0.0.4

✨ Added

• In-place router restarts — the router replaces itself with its new binary in the same process and hands over its listening sockets, so requests made during a restart wait a moment instead of being refused.
• POST /restart on the router's control API — asks a running router to restart once its in-flight requests finish, and reports whether it will restart in place.

🔧 Changed

• switchboard service restart now asks the router to restart in place and says which way it will go (it restarts in place or launchd starts it again) — older routers still stop and are restarted by launchd.
• Config, upgrade and time-zone changes now trigger an in-place restart rather than an exit, so launchd no longer has to start an upgraded binary afresh, which macOS has been seen to refuse.
• A router whose binary is briefly missing during brew upgrade retries for a couple of seconds before falling back to exiting for launchd.

🐛 Fixed

• service restart now refuses with a reason for a router run by hand or one whose config isn't valid, instead of stopping it with nothing to start it again.
• A stop signal received while the router is finishing its requests to restart now stops it immediately instead of restarting.

v0.0.3

🐛 Fixed

• Removing an account no longer strands running sessions — sessions holding a removed account's token stay routed as the primary's for a week.
• A request refused by every account it went out on no longer bars accounts or moves its session — the refusal says more about the request than the accounts.
• Sessions whose request was refused now return to the account they were on before it.
• Once every account has refused a request, it isn't tried again elsewhere, and Claude Code gets a 502 giving the API's actual reason.
• Per-request refusal tracking means one request taking back its refusals no longer erases those placed by other requests.
• best next now respects the global pin — it shows where a new session would actually go.

✨ Added

• switchboard status and the dashboard report a pending router restart — with the reason, since when, and requests in flight — e.g. restart due (config changed).
• switchboard service restart is now the pointed-to way to apply a pending restart immediately instead of waiting for a quiet moment.
• switchboard accounts remove reports which account becomes primary when the primary is removed, and warns if the new primary has no usable token.

🔧 Changed

• Removed-account tokens are kept only as SHA-256 hashes, and are restored to the account if it's configured again.
• A router started by hand with serve now tells status to run serve again to take up the restart.

v0.0.2

✨ Added

• Pin several accounts at once with switchboard pin work side — new sessions go to the best of them until all are out, and the dashboard's 1–9 keys now toggle accounts in and out of the pin.
• switchboard usage --refresh (-r) has the router read every account it may first, so a limit you reset by hand on claude.ai is seen at once.
• The router notices the Mac waking from sleep and sends requests upstream on fresh connections, so connections a sleep left dead no longer fail requests.
• The router restarts itself when the Mac's time zone changes, so the priming schedule keeps to the clock.
• Token files can be links to files kept elsewhere — switchboard writes a token through the link to where it leads.

🔧 Changed

• Accounts are primed 5 seconds after their 5-hour window resets, whether or not they were in use, so a prime always lands after the reset.
• Accounts that can take no request (limit reached, week spent, token refused) are no longer primed, and are probed instead so a manual reset is noticed.
• Account ids that differ only in case are refused, as macOS would give them one token file.
• The dashboard keeps showing the router's last view, saying since when, when the router stops answering, rather than probing every account at once.
• Usage readings off responses and repeated use of a session are saved to disk at most once a minute instead of every second or so.
• claude looks a moment later at a token file it finds empty before counting the account as having no token.
• claude version checks run with the real Claude Code's own directories first on PATH, and no longer hang on a CLI that leaves a process running.

🗑️ Removed

• accounts remove no longer deletes the file a linked token file leads to — only the link goes, and the command says so.

🐛 Fixed

• A 429 without usage headers is passed straight to Claude Code instead of being treated as the account's limit, retried or replayed.
• A session is remembered only once a request of it succeeds, so claude --resume's startup quota check no longer leaves a stray assignment.
• A limit lifted early — by a manual reset or a request that then succeeds — is now noticed instead of holding the account back until its stated reset.
• A wrapper named claude that execs switchboard, or another build of switchboard, no longer makes it start itself in a loop when looking for the real Claude Code.
• Repeated warnings about an ignored pin are logged once per session and account rather than on every request.
• Installing the service retries when launchd is still finishing unloading the old one, avoiding spurious "Input/output error" failures.
• Request failures that predate a wake from sleep no longer count against the router's health.
• Unknown log names are redacted in the error switchboard logs prints.
