config-dir plugins

by Lazy Ants

Understand and diagnose config-profile isolation on a machine running several Claude Code CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR profiles or several Codex CODEX_HOME profiles, and report how much usage-limit budget each profile has consumed. Explains why Claude Code profiles that share a plugins store hit recurring "corrupted installLocation" errors and cross-profile plugin deletion, and why a Codex profile seeded by copying config.toml keeps reading the home it was copied from, including an MCP server that re-enters it. Ships a read-only health-check script for each, a usage-limit report covering every Claude Code profile and Codex home with reset times and Codex reset-voucher counts and expiry -- installable on PATH as `code-limit` -- and documents the reverse-engineered Claude Code CLI validation and garbage-collection mechanism behind the first.
