Keychain access dialog reappears repeatedly despite "Always Allow" permission #624

What's happening

CodexBar repeatedly shows the keychain access dialog ("CodexBar wants to access key 'Claude Code-credentials'") even though "Always Allow" was clicked multiple times. The dialog reappears approximately daily, requiring password entry again.

Expected behavior

After clicking "Always Allow", the dialog should not reappear.

Context

  • macOS, standard user account
  • VS Code + CodexBar extension
  • Keychain item "Claude Code-credentials" has ACL set to "Allow all applications to access this item" — yet the dialog keeps returning
  • Two "CodexBar Cache" entries exist in Keychain Access

Likely cause

Claude Code appears to periodically refresh its OAuth token, which overwrites the "Claude Code-credentials" keychain item. Each overwrite may reset the ACL, causing CodexBar to request access again on next launch.
