Problem
When using multiple Codex accounts via a tool like Codex Switcher, switching accounts updates ~/.codex but does not affect already-running workspace sessions in CodexMonitor. Each workspace has a persistent codex app-server process started at launch with the original account. After switching accounts externally, all requests continue to use the old session and fail with usageLimitExceeded.
The only workaround currently is a full app restart (Cmd+Q and reopen).
Expected Behavior
A way to restart the app-server for a specific workspace from within CodexMonitor — either via:
- A right-click context menu on the workspace
- A button in workspace settings
- Automatic detection of account changes in
~/.codex
Debug Log Evidence
Both workspaces return the same rate limit error after account switch:
"codexErrorInfo": "usageLimitExceeded"
"willRetry": falseEven after switching accounts externally, new turn/start requests go to the same exhausted session.
Suggested Fix
Add a Reconnect or Restart app-server option per workspace in the sidebar context menu. This would kill the current app-server process and spawn a fresh one, picking up whatever account is active in ~/.codex at that moment.
