# prodex

[![CI](https://github.com/christiandoxa/prodex/actions/workflows/ci.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/christiandoxa/prodex/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Run multiple isolated Codex profiles on the same OpenAI account pool.

`prodex` is a small CLI for managing multiple Codex profiles without manually switching logins and local state.

It uses a simple model:

- **One account = one profile**
- **Quota is checked before launch**
- **Fresh work can move to another ready profile**
- **Existing continuations stay with the profile that already owns them**

## Why `prodex`?

If you use multiple accounts, doing everything by hand gets old quickly.

A common case is having 2 or 3 separate $20 accounts instead of paying for a higher-tier plan. That works, but the workflow is annoying. You have to log in and out, switch homes, check quota manually, and remember which session belongs to which account.

`prodex` handles that setup by keeping profiles isolated, checking quota before launch, and keeping continuations on the profile that already owns them.

## Requirements

Before using `prodex`, make sure you have:

- **An OpenAI account**, plus at least one logged-in Prodex profile
- **Codex CLI**, if you want to use `prodex`
- **Claude Code (`claude`)**, if you want to use `prodex claude`

> Installing `@christiandoxa/prodex` from npm also installs the Codex runtime dependency for you.  
> Claude Code is still a separate CLI and should already be available on your `PATH` when you use `prodex claude`.

## Install

### npm

```bash
npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex
````

### Cargo

```bash
cargo install prodex
```

The npm package version is kept in lockstep with the published crate version.

## Update

Check your installed version:

```bash
prodex --version
```

The current local version in this repo is `0.4.0`:

```bash
npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex@0.4.0
cargo install prodex --force --version 0.4.0
```

Dependency status in this repo:

* The npm runtime dependency is tracked from the workspace package manifest for `@openai/codex`
* Run `cargo update` whenever dependency metadata changes so the published lockfile stays in sync
* Versioned install snippets in this README and `QUICKSTART.md` are synced from `Cargo.toml`

Switching from a Cargo-installed binary to npm?

```bash
cargo uninstall prodex
npm install -g @christiandoxa/prodex
```

## Quick Setup

If your shared Codex home already contains a login:

```bash
prodex profile import-current main
```

Or create a profile through the usual login flow:

```bash
prodex login
prodex login --device-auth
```

If you want to name the profile first:

```bash
prodex profile add second
prodex login --profile second
```

Check your profile pool and quota status:

```bash
prodex profile list
prodex quota --all
prodex info
```

Run Codex CLI or Claude Code through Prodex:

```bash
prodex
prodex exec "review this repo"
prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"
```

`prodex` without a subcommand is shorthand for `prodex run`.

## Common Workflows

### Create or import profiles

```bash
prodex profile import-current main
prodex profile add second
prodex login --profile second
```

### Inspect your pool

```bash
prodex profile list
prodex quota --all
prodex info
```

### Run Codex with automatic profile selection

```bash
prodex
prodex run
prodex exec "review this repo"
```

### Resume an existing session on the correct profile

```bash
prodex run 019c9e3d-45a0-7ad0-a6ee-b194ac2d44f9
```

### Run Claude Code through the same profile pool

```bash
prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"
prodex claude --profile second -- -p --output-format json "show the latest diff"
```

For managed profiles, Prodex can seed Claude state from your existing `~/.claude` and `~/.claude.json` on first use, then keep Claude config and chat history in shared Prodex-managed state.

## Command Reference

### Profile & Login

```bash
prodex profile list
prodex profile add second
prodex profile import-current main
prodex login
prodex login --profile second
prodex login --device-auth
prodex use --profile main
prodex current
prodex logout --profile main
prodex profile remove second
```

### Run with Codex CLI

```bash
prodex
prodex run
prodex run --profile main
prodex exec "review this repo"
prodex run 019c9e3d-45a0-7ad0-a6ee-b194ac2d44f9
printf 'context from stdin' | prodex run exec "summarize this"
```

### Run with Claude Code

```bash
prodex claude -- -p "summarize this repo"
prodex claude --profile second -- -p --output-format json "show the latest diff"
```

### Export & Import Profiles

```bash
prodex profile export
prodex profile export backup.json
prodex profile export --profile main --profile second backup.json
prodex profile import backup.json
```

`prodex profile export` includes each exported profile’s `auth.json`.
By default, it exports every configured profile and asks whether the bundle should be password-protected.

### Quota, Status & Debugging

```bash
prodex quota --all
prodex quota --all --once
prodex quota --profile main --detail
prodex info
prodex audit
prodex audit --tail 20 --component profile
prodex cleanup
prodex doctor
prodex doctor --quota
prodex doctor --runtime
prodex doctor --runtime --json
```

If a runtime session looks stalled, inspect the latest runtime log:

```bash
prodex doctor --runtime
tail -n 200 "$(cat /tmp/prodex-runtime-latest.path)"
```

That pointer path lives in `/tmp` only when you keep the default runtime log directory. If you override the runtime log directory through policy or environment, use `prodex doctor --runtime --json` to read the active `log_path` and live broker metrics.

Use `prodex cleanup` to remove stale local runtime logs, temporary login homes, dead broker leases and registries, plus old orphaned managed profile homes that are no longer tracked in state.

## Advanced Runtime Configuration

If you want tighter control over runtime logging, secrets, or proxy behavior, you can pin local settings in `$PRODEX_HOME/policy.toml` or `~/.prodex/policy.toml`.

```toml
version = 1

[runtime]
log_format = "json"
log_dir = "runtime-logs"

[secrets]
backend = "file"
# keyring_service = "prodex"

[runtime_proxy]
worker_count = 16
active_request_limit = 128
responses_active_limit = 96
http_connect_timeout_ms = 5000
stream_idle_timeout_ms = 300000
```

Notes:

* Environment variables still win over `policy.toml`
* `prodex info` and `prodex doctor` show the active policy file, selected secret backend, and effective runtime log mode
* The default runtime log format remains `text`; set `log_format = "json"` or `PRODEX_RUNTIME_LOG_FORMAT=json` when you want machine-readable runtime logs
* Secret backend selection can be overridden with `PRODEX_SECRET_BACKEND` and `PRODEX_SECRET_KEYRING_SERVICE`
* `prodex audit` reads the local append-only audit log and supports `--tail`, `--component`, `--action`, `--outcome`, and `--json`

## Hardening And Operational Notes

The current setup is still local-first, but it already includes:

* a secret-management abstraction for `auth.json` and exported profile bundles
* a stable live broker snapshot at `GET /__prodex/runtime/metrics`
* a Prometheus scrape target at `GET /__prodex/runtime/metrics/prometheus`
* `prodex info` and `prodex doctor --runtime --json` surfacing live broker metrics targets and the selected secret backend
* append-only audit logging for profile selection, rotation decisions, and admin-facing state changes
* `prodex audit` as a local read-only CLI surface for browsing recent audit events

Current limitations:

* local `auth.json` remains the compatibility source of truth for current Codex flows even when a non-file backend is selected
* there is no keychain, Vault, or KMS-backed secret backend implementation yet
* audit logs follow the resolved runtime log directory by default, or `PRODEX_AUDIT_LOG_DIR` when set
* there is no central control plane, RBAC, SSO, or SCIM
* `prodex doctor --runtime --json` is useful operationally, but it is not a full observability stack
* the repo still assumes a per-host profile pool and local state ownership
* runtime-store modularization is still in progress, so persistence and audit/event handling remain implementation details rather than a public API

## Notes

* Managed profiles share persisted Codex state through Prodex-owned shared storage
* `prodex quota --all` refreshes live by default
* Use `--once` if you only want a one-shot snapshot
