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.
