The widget hid itself well enough that nobody found it: it only ever
appeared if you knew the id and ran `omarchy bar plugin add`, since it was
in neither the shipped layout nor any migration.
Defaulting it on costs nothing on machines that don't use it. Panel.qml is
`visible: providers.length > 0`, and Main.qml only counts a provider that
is enabled and has actually recorded prompts, sessions, active days, or a
rate limit. A box that has never run Claude Code or Codex draws an empty
bar item, and the icon arrives on its own at the first scan that finds
usage — which is the behavior the widget already advertised.
The migration skips any config that already lists the widget in any
section, so a curated bar keeps its own placement rather than gaining a
second copy.

The shell starts before DHCP finishes, so Claude's first probe of the
OAuth usage endpoint came back as a transport failure and pinned "Claude
limits unavailable" for a full refresh interval. Opening the panel could
not clear it either: the open path refreshed unforced and hit the same
throttle it was trying to escape.
A transport failure now arms a short retry that goes straight to the
probe, since a retry answering to the throttle never gets off the
ground. Any real answer disarms it — a server that replied, 429
included, is one to stop pestering. Probes are single-flight, a fresh
token skips the throttle its predecessor set, and opening the panel asks
for the wire without re-walking every transcript on disk.
The module also earns its place in the bar now instead of sitting there
dimmed with nothing to say: it collapses out entirely until a provider
has actually recorded usage, here or on a synced machine. That made both
presence probes redundant, so they are gone. Selection follows the
provider rather than its slot, so one appearing while the panel is open
no longer swaps out what you were reading.
