Account Selection Without Symlink Switching

How Dashboard Knows Current Account

With CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per-spawn, account selection moves from symlink state to session-level configuration:

// Each session tracks its account
interface Session {
  id: string;
  accountId: string;  // "blueboy" or "meichtry"
  status: string;
  // ...
}

// Dashboard console shows in header/status bar
Account: blueboy (20×)  |  Session: abc123  |  Idle

Account Selection UI Options

Option Behavior
Default account per session New sessions use DEFAULT_ACCOUNT (blueboy)
Account selector dropdown User picks account when starting session
Per-turn override Special prefix like @meichtry: prompt

Full Refactor Plan

Phase 1: Konsole Changes

  1. Create /konnectvol/.konsole/claude/{meichtry,blueboy}/
  2. Copy credentials from ~/.claude-max5x and ~/.claude-max20x
  3. Update config.ts with hardcoded account definitions
  4. Refactor account-switcher.tsaccount-manager.ts
    • Remove symlink logic
    • Add getConfigDir(accountId) function
    • Keep token refresh logic
  5. Update claude.ts to pass CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR env var
  6. Add accountId to Session type
  7. Update dashboard UI to show current account
  8. Update /accounts API endpoint

Phase 2: gvShell Design Updates

  1. Update gvShellDesign.md §4.3.1 (Claude CLI OAuth)
    • Replace symlink architecture with CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR
    • Document dynamic account management
  2. Update gv/gvshell/internal/claude/accounts/accounts.go
    • Remove SwitchAccount symlink logic
    • Add GetConfigDir(accountID) method
    • Update account discovery from disk
  3. Update gv/gvshell/internal/providers/claudecli/claudecli.go
    • Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR in cmd.Env
    • Remove account switching before spawn

Summary: Account becomes a session property, not global symlink state. Dashboard shows account in status bar. Each Claude spawn gets CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR pointing to that account's directory.
