 - Swift concurrency: treat sibling `async let` tasks as a review red flag when one child is required and another is optional/best-effort. Prefer sequential awaits or a drained `withThrowingTaskGroup` that surfaces required failures and explicitly contains optional failures; crash stacks mentioning `swift_task_dealloc` or `asyncLet_finish_after_task_completion` should trigger an audit of nearby `async let` usage.
 - Prefer modern SwiftUI/Observation macros: use `@Observable` models with `@State` ownership and `@Bindable` in views; avoid `ObservableObject`, `@ObservedObject`, and `@StateObject`.
 - Favor modern macOS 15+ APIs over legacy/deprecated counterparts when refactoring (Observation, new display link APIs, updated menu item styling, etc.).

+- Keep provider data siloed: when rendering usage or account info for a provider (Claude vs Codex), never display identity/plan fields sourced from a different provider.
 - Claude CLI status line is custom + user-configurable; never rely on it for usage parsing by default. A user-enabled, opt-in statusLine JSON feed is permitted as an explicit data source (owner ruling, #2733): it must be off by default, clearly labeled as sourced from the user's own statusLine config, and fail soft when the format drifts.
 - Cookie imports: default Chrome-only when possible to avoid other browser prompts; override via browser list when needed.
