Jason a058ebeafc docs(user-manual): update to v3.13.0 across en/zh/ja
Refresh the user manual to cover the v3.13.0 feature set so users can
discover and correctly use new functionality without cross-referencing
the release notes. All three language versions are updated
line-by-line symmetric.

Highlights:

- Lightweight Mode: tray-only running state added in 1.5-settings,
  with a comparison table against "Minimize to tray" and a new OAuth
  Auth Center (Beta) section
- Quota & Balance display restructured in 2.5-usage-query: split into
  auto-query (Claude/Codex/Gemini official, Copilot, Codex OAuth) vs
  manual-enable (Token Plan, third-party balances). Explains why
  manual enabling is required: the same API URL may expose both
  plan-quota and balance query modes
- Codex OAuth reverse proxy: full usage guide in 2.1-add with two
  entry points (Add Provider panel / OAuth Auth Center), Device Code
  login flow, token auto-refresh, multi-account management, quota
  display, common failures, and risk notice
- Full URL Endpoint Mode: new advanced option in 2.1-add
- Per-app tray submenus: 2.2-switch refactored to reflect the 5-app
  submenu structure and cross-link to Lightweight Mode
- Skills workflow: remove obsolete "automatic update not supported"
  section in 3.3-skills, add SHA-256 update detection, single/batch
  update, storage location switch, and skills.sh registry search
- Directory picker for Claude terminal resume in 3.4-sessions
- Usage stats in 4.4-usage: document the new CLI session log source
  (no proxy required) and per-app filtering for Claude/Codex/Gemini;
  note CNY->USD pricing corrections and MiniMax quota fixes
- Stream Check coverage extended to OpenCode/OpenClaw in 4.5-model-test
- New FAQs in 5.2-questions: quota visibility (auto vs manual),
  Codex OAuth risks and login flow, deep link wake in Lightweight Mode
- v3.13.0 highlights navigation block added to top-level README and
  each per-language README; version bumped to v3.13.0 / 2026-04-08

# 1.5 Personalization
This section describes how to configure CC Switch according to your preferences.
## Open Settings
- Click the **gear** button in the top-left corner
- Or use the shortcut `Cmd/Ctrl + ,`
## Language Settings
CC Switch supports three languages:
| Language | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| Simplified Chinese | Default language |
| English | English interface |
| Japanese | Japanese interface |
Language changes take effect immediately without restarting.
## Theme Settings
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| System | Automatically matches the system's dark/light mode |
| Light | Always use the light theme |
| Dark | Always use the dark theme |
## Window Behavior
### Launch on Startup
When enabled, CC Switch automatically runs when the system starts.
- **Windows**: Implemented via the registry
- **macOS**: Implemented via LaunchAgent
- **Linux**: Implemented via XDG autostart
### Close Behavior
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| Minimize to tray | Clicking the close button hides to the system tray |
| Exit directly | Clicking the close button fully exits the app |
"Minimize to tray" is recommended for convenient provider switching via the tray.
### Lightweight Mode
Starting from v3.13.0, CC Switch adds **Lightweight Mode** — a **tray-only** running state that minimizes desktop footprint when idle.
**How to enter**: Right-click the tray icon → click **Lightweight Mode**. The main window is **destroyed** (not just hidden), freeing UI resources and memory.
**How to exit**: Click **Open Main Window** from the tray menu, or trigger CC Switch via deep link / relaunch. The window is **rebuilt on demand**, with state preserved.
| Aspect | Minimize to Tray | Lightweight Mode |
|--------|------------------|------------------|
| UI process | Kept in memory | Fully destroyed |
| Idle resource footprint | Same as normal run | Near zero |
| Reopen speed | Instant (direct show) | Slightly slower (window rebuild) |
| Tray switching | Available | Available |
| Deep link wake | Available | Available (on-demand rebuild) |
> **Use case**: If CC Switch runs in the background for long periods and you mainly switch providers via the tray menu, enabling Lightweight Mode significantly reduces memory usage.
> **Note**: Lightweight Mode state is not persistent — the next normal launch returns to normal mode. Combine with Launch on Startup for long-term use.
### Claude Plugin Integration
When enabled, CC Switch automatically syncs the configuration to the VS Code Claude Code extension (writes `primaryApiKey` to `~/.claude/config.json`) when switching providers.
> **Use case**: If you use both Claude Code CLI and the VS Code extension, enable this option to keep both configurations in sync.
### Skip Claude Onboarding
When enabled, skips the Claude Code onboarding flow, suitable for users already familiar with Claude Code.
> **Note**: This option writes the `skipIntroduction` field to `~/.claude/settings.json`.
### App Visibility
Choose which applications to display in the app switcher. Each app can be toggled independently, but at least one must remain visible.
Configurable apps: Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, OpenClaw.
> **Use case**: If you only use Claude Code and Codex CLI, you can hide the other apps to keep the interface clean.
### Skill Sync Method
Set the sync method when installing skills to each app's directory:
| Method | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| Symlink | Creates symbolic links pointing to skill source files; saves space, syncs in real-time |
| Copy | Copies skill files entirely to the target directory |
> **Recommended**: Symlink is the default method. Switch to Copy if you encounter permission issues.
### Terminal Settings
Choose the terminal application that CC Switch uses when opening a terminal.
Supported terminals (by platform):
| Platform | Terminal Options |
|----------|-----------------|
| macOS | Terminal, iTerm2, Alacritty, Kitty, Ghostty, WezTerm |
| Windows | CMD, PowerShell, Windows Terminal |
| Linux | GNOME Terminal, Konsole, Xfce4 Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Ghostty |
## Directory Configuration
### App Configuration Directory
The storage location for CC Switch's own data, defaulting to `~/.cc-switch/`.
### CLI Tool Directories
You can customize each CLI tool's configuration directory:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---------|---------|-------------|
| Claude Directory | `~/.claude/` | Claude Code configuration directory |
| Codex Directory | `~/.codex/` | Codex configuration directory |
| Gemini Directory | `~/.gemini/` | Gemini CLI configuration directory |
| OpenCode Directory | `~/.opencode/` | OpenCode configuration directory |
| OpenClaw Directory | `~/.openclaw/` | OpenClaw configuration directory |
> **Note**: After changing directories, the app must be restarted, and the corresponding CLI tools must also be configured to use the same directory.
## Data Management
### Export Configuration
Click the "Export" button to save a backup file containing:
- All provider configurations
- MCP server configurations
- Prompt presets
- App settings
The backup file is in JSON format and can be viewed with a text editor.
### Import Configuration
1. Click "Select File"
2. Select a previously exported backup file
3. Click "Import"
4. Confirm to overwrite existing configuration
> **Note**: Importing will overwrite existing configuration. It is recommended to export your current configuration as a backup first.
## Proxy Settings
Settings > Proxy Tab
The Proxy tab centralizes all proxy-related features:
### Local Proxy
Start/stop the local proxy service, configure the listen address and port. See [4.1 Proxy Service](../4-proxy/4.1-service.md) for details.
### Failover
Configure failover queues and automatic switching strategies by app (Claude/Codex/Gemini). See [4.3 Failover](../4-proxy/4.3-failover.md) for details.
### Pricing Rectifier
Configure model pricing correction rules for proxy billing statistics calibration.
### Global Outbound Proxy
Configure CC Switch's outbound HTTP/HTTPS proxy, applicable for scenarios where external API access requires a proxy.
## Advanced Settings
Settings > Advanced Tab
### Configuration Directories
Customize configuration file directories for each app. See the "Directory Configuration" section above for details.
### Data Management
Import/export configuration backups. See the "Data Management" section above for details.
### Backup & Restore
The Backup Management panel provides full control over database backups.
#### Auto-Backup Settings
| Setting | Options | Default |
|---------|---------|---------|
| Backup Interval | Disabled, 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 7d | 24 hours |
| Retention Count | 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50 | 10 backups |
When an interval is set, CC Switch automatically backs up the database on schedule. Older backups beyond the retention count are automatically removed.
#### Backup List
The panel displays all existing backups with:
- **Display name** (auto-generated from timestamp, e.g., `db_backup_20260315_143000`)
- **Creation time**
- **File size** (e.g., "1.5 MB")
#### Backup Operations
| Action | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Backup Now** | Create a backup immediately |
| **Restore** | Restore the database from a selected backup. A safety backup of the current database is created automatically before restoring |
| **Rename** | Change the backup's display name |
| **Delete** | Permanently remove a backup (with confirmation) |
> **Important**: Restoring a backup overwrites the current database. A safety backup is always created before the restore operation, so you can recover if needed.
### Cloud Sync (WebDAV)
Sync configurations across multiple devices via the WebDAV protocol. Uses **v2 protocol** with dual-layer versioning for improved reliability.
| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Service Preset | Jianguoyun / Nextcloud / Synology / Custom |
| Server URL | WebDAV server URL |
| Username | Login username |
| Password | Login password (app-specific password; saved credentials are preserved if left unchanged) |
| Remote Directory | Remote storage path (default: `cc-switch-sync`) |
| Profile Name | Device profile name (default: `default`) |
| Auto Sync | Enable automatic synchronization on a configurable interval |
#### Operations
| Action | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| **Test Connection** | Verify WebDAV URL, username, and password are valid |
| **Upload** | Upload local database to remote. Shows progress spinner |
| **Download** | Download remote database. Shows remote snapshot info (protocol version, DB version, timestamp, size) before confirming. A safety backup of the local database is created automatically before overwriting |
#### Auto-Sync
When **Auto Sync** is enabled:
- A confirmation dialog is shown on first activation
- CC Switch automatically syncs the database to WebDAV at the configured interval
- Sync status is displayed in the panel
#### Remote Snapshot Info
Before downloading, CC Switch displays details about the remote snapshot:
- Protocol version (v2)
- Database compatibility version
- Timestamp of the remote backup
- File size
- Compatibility status (warning if incompatible)
> **Note**: Upload overwrites remote data, and download overwrites local data. A safety backup is always created before downloading.
### Log Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| Enable Logging | Enable/disable application logging |
| Log Level | error / warn / info / debug / trace |
Log level descriptions:
- **error** - Critical errors only
- **warn** - Warnings and errors
- **info** - General information (recommended)
- **debug** - Detailed debugging information
- **trace** - All verbose information
## OAuth Auth Center (Beta)
Settings > **OAuth Auth Center** Tab
Added in v3.13.0, the **OAuth Auth Center** (Beta) provides unified management for third-party OAuth credentials. It currently supports two account types:
| Account Type | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **GitHub Copilot** | Used with the Copilot reverse proxy |
| **ChatGPT (Codex OAuth)** | Used with the Codex OAuth reverse proxy; manage ChatGPT accounts |
**What you can do here**:
- Log in to ChatGPT / GitHub accounts via the Device Code flow
- View the list of logged-in accounts and authentication status
- Set a default account when managing multiple accounts
- Remove individual accounts or log out all accounts at once
> **Note**: Both features use reverse-engineered OAuth flows and carry account risk and Terms of Service risk. Before using, please read the full risk notice in [2.1 Add Provider → Codex OAuth Reverse Proxy](../2-providers/2.1-add.md#codex-oauth-reverse-proxy-claude-provider).
