 # Changelog
 
+## 0.5.0 — 2026-09-24
+
+Linux, and four fixes from the first outside contributions.
+
+### Added
+
+- **Linux** (#28, #33, #34, by @grapefruit0205). `install`, `status`, `restart` and
+  `uninstall` work where there is a systemd user session: the router runs as
+  `~/.config/systemd/user/clauderipple.service`, with no sudo. A health self-exit is
+  restarted after two seconds, and a stop waits out the 90-second drain. Picker mode
+  trusts the local CA in the NSS database Chromium reads (`~/.pki/nssdb`, your user
+  only) and needs `certutil` (`libnss3-tools` / `nss-tools`). Measured by the
+  contributor on Ubuntu 24.04 x64 with Claude Desktop 2.2553.13.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **`npm test` no longer rewrites your real `~/.claude/settings.json`** (#16, #26, #30).
+  The admin tests isolated the router's home but not the Claude settings path, so a
+  test run pointed `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` at a temp directory it then deleted, and every
+  Claude Code session on the machine failed until the file was fixed by hand.
+- **A failed install leaves `settings.json` alone** (#27, #31). The proxy settings are
+  now written only after the end-to-end probe passes, and `picker on` checks the
+  router is answering before it points Claude Desktop at it.
+- **Anthropic-compatible providers keep the conversation after a tool call** (#29, #32).
+  Claude Code's `thread: continue` carries only the new messages; the router stripped
+  the field and forwarded that delta, so the model got orphan tool results and no task.
+  It is now refused as for the translated providers, and the CLI resends the full turn.
+- **`picker on` and `status` from a PowerShell 7 terminal on Windows** (#35). Windows
+  PowerShell inherited PowerShell 7's module path and lost the `Cert:` drive: `picker on`
+  stopped at "Cannot find drive 'Cert'" and `status` called a trusted CA untrusted.
+  Every `powershell.exe` we start now drops the inherited `PSModulePath`. Reproduced
+  and checked in a Windows 11 VM.
+
+## 0.4.1 — 2026-09-24
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **The tray starts from an npm install** (#8). After 0.3.1 it launched as
+  Electron but died at once with "exports is not defined in ES module scope": the
+  tray is CommonJS and the package root says `"type": "module"`. The tray now has
+  its own `package.json`. Checked by starting it from the packed package.
+

 ### 제 코드가 다른 데로 가나요?
 
 가지 않습니다. 프록시는 내 컴퓨터에서 돕니다. 요청은 설정한 프로바이더로만 가고, 자격증명은
 홈 디렉터리에만 저장됩니다. [개인정보](#개인정보) 절을 보세요.
 
+### Claude 계정이 정지(밴)되지 않나요? 약관 위반 아닌가요?
+
+ClaudeRipple이 Claude에 하는 일은 작고 확인할 수 있습니다. Claude로 가는 요청은 Claude Code가 보낸 그대로
+한 바이트도 바꾸지 않고 나가고, GPT 등 다른 프로바이더로 보낸 요청은 Anthropic에 아예 가지 않습니다. 앱을 고치는
+방식이 아니라, Claude Code가 회사 네트워크용으로 문서화해 둔 프록시·인증서 설정(`HTTPS_PROXY`,
+`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` — 공식 문서 [Enterprise network configuration](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/corporate-proxy))을 씁니다. 계정 정지 사례로 알려진 것은 반대 방향, 즉 Claude 구독 로그인을 **다른 프로그램**에서
+쓰는 경우입니다. ClaudeRipple에도 그런 선택 기능이 하나 있습니다. Codex 안에서 Claude를 구독 로그인으로 쓰는
+것인데, 이는 Anthropic 약관의 적용을 받습니다. Anthropic API 키로 쓰면 이 문제가 없습니다. Claude 구독 여러 개를
+돌려 쓰는 것도 같은 약관 아래 각자 판단할 일입니다. 계정을 어떻게 다룰지는 Anthropic만 정할 수 있으니, 여기 적은
+내용은 보장이 아닙니다.
+
+### ChatGPT 계정을 여러 개 쓸 수 있나요?
+
+됩니다. `clauderipple login`을 할 때마다(또는 대시보드의 **+ ChatGPT 계정 추가**) 계정이 하나씩 늘어납니다.
+한 계정이 한도에 걸리면 같은 요청을 다음 계정이 이어받고, 한도가 찬 계정은 풀릴 때까지 쉽니다. 대화는 답한 계정에
+고정되어 프롬프트 캐시를 지킵니다. Claude Desktop Code 탭, Claude Code, Codex 앱·CLI의 GPT에 모두 적용됩니다.
+
+### Codex에서 Claude를 쓸 수 있나요?

+
+### Claude Code 안에서는 GPT 성능이 떨어지지 않나요?
+
+Claude Code의 시스템 프롬프트와 도구 설명은 Claude에 맞춰 쓰여 있어서, 다른 모델은 남에게 맞춘 지시를 읽는 셈이고
+자기 전용 앱에서와 조금 다르게 굴 수 있습니다. ClaudeRipple은 모델마다 자기 이름과 추론 강도를 알려 주고, 벤더가
+거부할 도구 스키마를 고쳐 넘기며, 프로바이더별로 지시문을 덧붙일 수 있게 합니다. 흔한 구성은 Claude를 메인으로 두고
+GPT나 DeepSeek을 서브에이전트로 쓰는 것입니다.
+
+### CC Switch, opencodex, claude-code-router와 뭐가 다른가요?
+
+[비교표](#네-개-대신-하나)를 보세요. 요약하면 ClaudeRipple은 앱이 Claude에 로그인된 채로 Claude
+**데스크톱 앱**의 Code 탭에 들어가고, 다른 모델을 피커에 실제 이름으로 보여 줍니다. CC Switch도 데스크톱 앱에
+들어가지만, 앱의 게이트웨이(3P) 모드를 켜는 방식입니다.
+
+### 무료인가요?
+
+무료입니다. GPL-3.0 오픈소스입니다. 이미 쓰고 있는 구독이나 API 키 비용만 듭니다.

+with Claude Desktop 2.2553.13, and so is picker mode: models from `cli.extraModels` show
+in the Code-tab picker next to Claude's own.
 
 ### Is my code sent anywhere else?
 
 No. The proxy runs on your own machine. Requests go to the provider you configured and
 nowhere else, and credentials stay in your home directory. See [Privacy](#privacy).
 
+### Will my Claude account get banned? Is this against Anthropic's terms?
+
+What ClaudeRipple does with Claude is small and checkable: a request that stays on Claude
+leaves your machine byte for byte as Claude Code sent it, and a request routed to GPT or
+another provider never reaches Anthropic at all. It works through the proxy and
+certificate settings Claude Code documents for corporate networks (`HTTPS_PROXY`,
+`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` — [Enterprise network configuration](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/corporate-proxy)),
+not by patching the app. The reports of banned accounts are about
+the opposite direction — a Claude subscription login used from **another** program.
+ClaudeRipple has one optional feature of that kind: Claude inside Codex using your
+subscription login. That use is subject to Anthropic's terms; an Anthropic API key avoids
+the question. Rotating several Claude subscriptions is likewise your call under those
+terms. Only Anthropic can say how an account is treated, so nothing here is a promise.
+
+### Can I use several ChatGPT accounts?
+
+Yes. Each `clauderipple login` (or **+ Add ChatGPT account** in the dashboard) adds one.
+When an account hits its usage limit, the same request moves to the next account and the
+spent one rests until its window resets; a conversation stays on the account that
+answered, to keep its prompt cache. This applies to the Claude Desktop Code tab, Claude
+Code, and GPT in the Codex app and CLI.
+
+### Can I use Claude inside Codex?
+
+Yes. `clauderipple codex on` adds ClaudeRipple as a provider, and Claude models appear in
+the Codex app's and CLI's model list under their own names. They answer through your
+Claude Code login or an Anthropic API key. See [Codex app and Codex CLI](#codex-app-and-codex-cli).
+
+### Does GPT do worse inside Claude Code?
+
+Claude Code's system prompt and tool descriptions are written for Claude, so another model
+reads instructions tuned for someone else, and it may behave a little differently than in
+its own client. ClaudeRipple tells each model its own name and effort, reshapes tool
+schemas a vendor would reject, and lets you append instructions per provider. A common
+setup is Claude as the main model with GPT or DeepSeek as subagents.
+
+### How is this different from CC Switch, opencodex or claude-code-router?
+
+See the [comparison table](#one-tool-instead-of-four). In short: ClaudeRipple reaches
+the Claude **Desktop** Code tab while the app stays signed in to Claude, and shows other
+models in its picker under their real names. CC Switch also reaches the desktop app, but
+by turning on its gateway (3P) mode.
+
+### Is it free?
+
+Yes. ClaudeRipple is open source under GPL-3.0. You pay only for the subscriptions or API
+keys you already use.

+¹ opencodex's README showed Claude Desktop in a demo but published no setup steps for it,
+in the repository or on its documentation site (checked 2026-09-16). At the time the only
+public way into the desktop app was the official gateway setting — the last column.
+
+² CC Switch reaches Claude Desktop by writing the app's third-party profile
+(`Claude-3p/claude_desktop_config.json`, `"inferenceProvider": "gateway"`), which is the
+last column. Through its local gateway the picker shows only `claude-sonnet-*`,
+`claude-opus-*` and `claude-haiku-*` role names ([its manual](https://github.com/farion1231/cc-switch/blob/main/docs/user-manual/en/2-providers/2.6-claude-desktop.md)).
+CC Switch manages more tools than this table covers (Gemini CLI, OpenCode and others) and
+syncs MCP servers and skills across them.
+
+³ Each ChatGPT account is bound to its own provider card, and official ChatGPT cards are
+kept out of the failover queue (v3.20.0 release notes).
 
 The desktop app's own "third-party inference" setting flips the whole app into another
 mode: you lose claude.ai chat, Remote Control and cloud sessions. Tools that replace

 you map go to your provider, everything else goes to Anthropic byte for byte.
