+# Codex Auth Profile Isolation (`ccsx auth`)
+
+Run two Codex accounts simultaneously — one per terminal — with full auth isolation.
+
+## Why
+
+Codex stores its OAuth credentials in a single directory (`~/.codex/`). When you run two
+`codex` sessions in separate terminals, they both write to the same `auth.json`. A token
+refresh in one session overwrites the other's credentials.
+
+`ccsx auth` solves this by giving each account its own profile directory under
+`~/.ccs/codex-instances/<name>/`. Each profile holds its own `auth.json` and
+`history.jsonl`. A shared `config.toml` is linked via symlink so model/provider settings
+stay in sync.
+
+## Quick start (4 commands)
+
+```bash
+# Create and authenticate two profiles
+ccsx auth create work       # creates ~/.ccs/codex-instances/work/ and prompts for login
+ccsx auth create personal   # same for personal account
+
+# Activate per terminal (ephemeral — only this shell)
+# Terminal A:
+eval "$(ccsx auth use work)"
+codex
+
+# Terminal B:
+eval "$(ccsx auth use personal)"
+codex
+```
+
+## Two-terminal example
+
+```bash
+# Terminal A — work account
+eval "$(ccsx auth use work)"
+codex                         # runs with CODEX_HOME=~/.ccs/codex-instances/work
+
+# Terminal B — personal account (simultaneously)
+eval "$(ccsx auth use personal)"
+codex                         # runs with CODEX_HOME=~/.ccs/codex-instances/personal
+
+# No token clobbering. Each session refreshes its own auth.json only.
+```
+
+## Command reference
+
+| Command | Description |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `ccsx auth create <name>` | Create profile dir + auto-login |
+| `ccsx auth login <name>` | (Re-)authenticate an existing profile |
+| `ccsx auth switch <name>` | Set the persistent default profile (all new shells) |
+| `ccsx auth use <name>` | Emit shell exports for this shell only (use with `eval`) |
+| `ccsx auth show [name]` | List all profiles or show details for one |
+| `ccsx auth remove <name>` | Delete profile dir + registry entry |
+| `ccsx auth import-default <name>` | Migrate legacy `~/.codex/auth.json` into a new profile |
+
+## Persistent vs ephemeral switching
+
+| Method | Scope | How |
+|--------|-------|-----|
+| `ccsx auth switch <name>` | All future shells | Writes to `~/.ccs/codex-profiles.yaml` |
+| `eval "$(ccsx auth use <name>)"` | Current shell only | Sets `CODEX_HOME` + `CCS_CODEX_PROFILE` in your shell |
+
+Shell syntax for `use`:
+
+```bash
+# bash / zsh
+eval "$(ccsx auth use work)"
+
+# fish
+ccsx auth use work | source
+
+# PowerShell
+ccsx auth use work | Invoke-Expression
+```
+
+## Migration from `~/.codex`
+
+If you already have a logged-in session in `~/.codex/auth.json`, import it without
+disturbing the original:
+
+```bash
+# Auth only (default — recommended)
+ccsx auth import-default legacy
+
+# Auth + history + sessions (opt-in)
+ccsx auth import-default legacy --with-history
+
+# Make it the default
+ccsx auth switch legacy
+```
+
+The source `~/.codex/` directory is **never modified**. If `import-default` is not run,
+`codex` continues to work exactly as before.
+
+### Torn-write safety
+
+Codex writes `auth.json` with truncate+write (not atomic rename). Running
+`import-default` while a token refresh is in flight can produce a corrupt copy.
+The command detects a running `codex` process via `pgrep` and refuses unless you
+pass `--force-while-running`. The safest approach is to quit Codex before
+importing.
+
+## Dashboard
+
+The CCS dashboard shows active profile metadata at the **Auth Profiles** tab on the
+Codex page:
+
+- Profile name and whether it is the current default
+- Decoded email address (from `id_token` — no signature verification; display only)
+- Plan tier (Plus, Pro, Free) when present in the token
+- Last-used timestamp
+
+No OAuth tokens are ever returned by the API endpoint or shown in the UI.
+
+## Profile disk layout
+
+```
+~/.ccs/
+├── codex-profiles.yaml          # Registry: version, default, profiles metadata
+└── codex-instances/
+    └── <name>/
+        ├── auth.json            # OAuth credentials (Codex writes here)
+        ├── history.jsonl        # Per-profile prompt history (optional)
+        ├── sessions/            # Per-profile chat session dirs (optional)
+        └── config.toml -> ~/.codex/config.toml   (symlink — shared)
+
+~/.codex/
+└── config.toml                  # Single shared model/provider config
+```
+
+## Caveats
+
+### Windows symlinks
+
+On Windows, creating symlinks requires Developer Mode or elevated privileges.
+If symlink creation fails, CCS falls back to copying `config.toml`. In this case,
+changes to `~/.codex/config.toml` are **not** automatically reflected in the profile —
+you must re-run `ccsx auth create <name> --force` to refresh the copy.
+
+### `ccsx` vs `ccsxp`
+
+`ccsx auth` profiles apply only to the **native `codex`** CLI. They have no effect on
+`ccsxp` (the CLIProxy round-robin pool). `ccsxp` unconditionally sets its own
+`CODEX_HOME` on startup and ignores `CCS_CODEX_PROFILE`.
+
+If you run `eval "$(ccsx auth use work)"` and then invoke `ccsxp`, a notice is emitted
+to stderr:
+
+```
+[i] CCS_CODEX_PROFILE is ignored by ccsxp; profile applies to native 'codex' only
+```
+
+### cmd.exe
+
+`ccsx auth use` emits `set FOO=bar` syntax for cmd.exe. Native `eval` is not available
+in legacy cmd — use PowerShell (`Invoke-Expression`) instead.
+
+### Backup files from `--force`
+
+When re-importing with `--force`, the existing `auth.json` is backed up as
+`auth.json.bak-<timestamp>` in the profile directory. These accumulate over time; remove
+them manually when no longer needed.
