Configuration

Config keys are stored via brag config and can be overridden with env vars:

| Config key | Env var | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | apiBaseUrl | BRAG_API_BASE_URL | Defaults to https://usageleaderboard.com. | | apiBaseUrl | BRAG_LOCAL_API | Use 1/true to force http://localhost:4321, or set a URL. | | oauthClientId | BRAG_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID | Required for device login. | | oauthClientSecret | BRAG_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET | Optional if provider allows. | | oauthDeviceUrl | BRAG_OAUTH_DEVICE_URL | Override device code endpoint. | | oauthTokenUrl | BRAG_OAUTH_TOKEN_URL | Override token endpoint. | | oauthScopes | BRAG_OAUTH_SCOPES | Optional scope override. | | oauthAudience | BRAG_OAUTH_AUDIENCE | Optional audience override. | | localOnly | BRAG_LOCAL_ONLY | Force local-only mode. |

Config-only keys (no env override): syncMode, usagePath.

Additional env vars:

• BRAG_API_SYNC_PATH: Override the default /v1/usage sync path.
• BRAG_API_TIMEOUT_MS: Override API request timeout.
• BRAG_API_TOKEN: Token for brag login --token.
• BRAG_AUTH_STORAGE: Set to file to disable macOS keychain usage.
• BRAG_SCHEDULER_NODE: Override scheduler node path.
• BRAG_SCHEDULER_ENTRY: Override scheduler entry path.
• BRAG_NO_PROMPT: Skip interactive prompts during login.

Troubleshooting

• "No usage files found": Set usagePath to the directory that contains Codex usage files (defaults to ~/.codex).
• "Auth token missing or invalid": Run brag login again.
• "Auth rejected by API": Verify apiBaseUrl and re-authenticate.
• Rate limit warnings: Wait and retry, or use brag sync --force.
• Schedule enable fails: Run brag schedule print and check permissions.
• Need more detail: Run brag status --debug and inspect the log file in the config directory (logs/brag.log).
