This commit fixes two critical bugs in the auto-renewal daemon: 1. **Daemon crash on startup**: Fixed log_message() function that was using 'tee' which output to both stdout and log file. When functions like get_minutes_until_reset() captured output via command substitution, log messages were included in variables, causing bash to fail integer comparisons and crash the daemon. 2. **Graceful shutdown failure**: Replaced single long sleep with 5-second incremental sleeps to allow trap handlers to respond to SIGTERM signals quickly. Previously, the daemon would ignore stop requests until the sleep completed (up to 10 minutes), forcing kill -9. Tested: Daemon now starts successfully, monitors ccusage blocks, and stops gracefully within 5 seconds. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace 5-second polling loop with background sleep + wait pattern for truly event-driven signal handling. Daemon now responds to SIGTERM in < 1 second (vs 0-5 second delay) with zero polling overhead. Changes: - Add SLEEP_PID global variable to track background sleep process - Update cleanup() to kill sleep process and prevent zombie processes - Replace polling while loop with: sleep & wait pattern Benefits: - Instant shutdown response (< 50ms vs 0-5000ms) - Zero CPU overhead (0 wake cycles vs 120 per 10-minute sleep) - Industry-standard pattern used by systemd, docker, etc. - Better power efficiency on battery systems Tested: - Immediate shutdown during short and long sleeps - No zombie processes or orphaned PIDs - Stress tested with 5 rapid start/stop cycles - All shutdown messages logged correctly Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The dashboard was showing incorrect session reset times (off by ~3 hours) because it relied on a stale .claude-last-activity file instead of querying ccusage directly. When users manually started Claude sessions, the activity file remained outdated, causing timing calculations based on old timestamps. Changes: - Created shared library (lib/ccusage-utils.sh) with ccusage query logic - Removed duplicate ccusage functions from daemon script - Updated manager to query ccusage directly for accurate timing - Added timing source transparency (shows "ccusage" vs "clock-based") - Implemented daemon config tracking via ~/.claude-auto-renew-daemon-config The dashboard now shows accurate timing matching `ccusage blocks` output, with graceful fallback to clock-based calculation when ccusage unavailable.

The daemon was failing to start Claude sessions when run from within an existing Claude Code session due to nested session protection. This fix unsets the CLAUDECODE environment variable before launching claude commands, allowing renewals to work properly even when the daemon is managed from an active Claude session. Fixes the "Claude Code cannot be launched inside another Claude Code session" error that was causing continuous renewal failures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add verify_session_active() to validate sessions via ccusage JSON API - Switch get_minutes_until_reset() from text parsing to JSON parsing using jq - Create persistent sessions with sleep 18000 to keep stdin open for 5 hours - Implement retry loop with exponential backoff (30s->60s->120s->300s, max 20 attempts) - Create session once, then verify multiple times (prevents duplicate sessions) - Accept any active session with >60 min remaining (not just fresh 5-hour sessions) - Add detailed logging for verification attempts and failure reasons - Detect existing active sessions and skip renewal when not needed This fixes the issue where renewals created ephemeral sessions that closed immediately instead of maintaining persistent 5-hour windows. The daemon now uses real-time API data from ccusage blocks JSON to verify sessions are active and only creates new sessions when truly needed.

When a new billing block starts, ccusage needs burn rate data before it can compute projection.remainingMinutes. Fall back to calculating remaining time from the known endTime field to avoid incorrectly dropping to clock-based estimation. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously the daemon triggered a Claude session in the last 2 minutes of the dying block, causing verification to always fail: - Old block had <60 min left → "session not fresh enough" - At the hour boundary → gap where no block is active → "no data" New approach: when reset is imminent, wait until the old block fully expires plus 60 seconds into the new block, then create the session. The session tokens land in a fresh 5-hour window and verification succeeds on the first attempt (~299 min remaining). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The sleep 18000 approach kept stdin open, causing Claude to buffer its session data and delay writing the JSONL to disk by ~13 minutes. Since ccusage reads JSONL files for block detection, this meant all verification attempts during that window returned "no timing data". Ephemeral sessions (echo | claude) close cleanly on EOF, triggering an immediate JSONL write. ccusage detects the new block right away and verification succeeds on the first attempt. The 5-hour window is determined by API call timestamps, not by whether a session connection remains open. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Daemon now queries ccusage once for block endTime, sleeps precisely until endTime + 5 min (top of hour + buffer), then renews - Removes all polling logic (10min/2min/30sec intervals) - Removes clock-based fallback; ccusage unavailability retries every 5 min - Fresh start with no active block renews immediately - Daemon writes block endTime to state file (~/.claude-auto-renew-state) - Dashboard reads state file instead of calling ccusage on each refresh - Removes --disableccusage flag (no longer meaningful without fallback) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Check for any active billing block before sending renewal message. Uses get_block_end_epoch (isActive == true, no time threshold) so any active session — regardless of remaining time — prevents unnecessary renewal. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Fix 1 - Renew on start/restart: - Manager touches ~/.claude-auto-renew-renew-on-start before launching daemon - Daemon skips scheduling and active-block pre-check on first active iteration - cleanup() removes marker file on graceful shutdown - Covers both start and restart commands Fix 2 - Weekly limit detection and smart sleep: - start_claude_session() captures claude output instead of raw pipe to log - Each output line logged with timestamp prefix for clean audit trail - New parse_limit_reset_epoch() detects "hit your limit" message and parses reset time in detected timezone; handles "12pm", "Monday 12pm", "Mar 10 12pm" and any other future date/time format via GNU date fallback candidates - LIMIT_RESET_EPOCH persisted to ~/.claude-auto-renew-limit-reset so it survives daemon crash/SIGKILL; cleared on graceful stop - Daemon sleeps (interruptibly) until 5 min past reset time - Falls back to 1-hour retry if reset time cannot be parsed - Successful renewal clears the limit reset file Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude uses the same message format for both daily and weekly limits. Remove the "weekly" assumption — just report it as a usage limit and let the reset time speak for itself. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
