+secrets are never logged. `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/responses` are
+translated to each backend's dialect (Codex uses the OpenAI Responses API;
+Gemini uses the Code Assist envelope with synthesized SSE for streaming; Qwen is
+OpenAI-compatible). Run `router doctor` to verify each credential file is
+present and its token valid.

+  including SSE synthesis when a client requests streaming from Gemini.
+- In-memory OAuth token refresh: expired Codex/Gemini/Qwen tokens are refreshed
+  using each vendor's public OAuth client and cached in memory, keeping the proxy
+  working even when the vendor CLI is not running. Vendor credential files remain
+  read-only and secrets are never logged.

+# Issue 37 Case Study: Adopt the best of ProxyPal — full multi-provider subscription support
+
+## Summary
+
+[Issue #37](https://github.com/link-assistant/router/issues/37) asks us to "use
+all the best experience from
+[heyhuynhgiabuu/proxypal](https://github.com/heyhuynhgiabuu/proxypal)" so that
+the router can **"fully support claude, codex, gemini, qwen, and their
+subscriptions with all our features and more."** It then specifies a concrete
+*process*: collect the issue's data into `docs/case-studies/issue-37/`, do a deep
+case-study analysis (including online research), list **every** requirement,
+propose a solution/plan for each, and survey existing components/libraries — all
+in PR #38.
+
+This case study delivers that process. It is a **planning and analysis
+deliverable**: the functional super-goal (four providers' OAuth subscriptions +
+login + auto-config + analytics + a possible GUI) is a multi-PR roadmap, and the
+issue's explicit ask is to *analyze it and plan it*, which is exactly what these
+documents do. Implementation is then sequenced as follow-up PRs, each verified
+against a real subscription (the same discipline issue #35 used for Claude).
+
+## What's in this folder
+
+| File | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| [`README.md`](./README.md) | This analysis: what ProxyPal teaches, where we stand, the gap, the plan. |
+| [`requirements.md`](./requirements.md) | Every requirement (process + functional) traced to a solution and status. |
+| [`solution-plans.md`](./solution-plans.md) | One detailed, file-level plan per functional requirement, plus execution order. |
+| [`components-survey.md`](./components-survey.md) | Existing components/libraries surveyed, with build-vs-borrow decisions. |
+| [`online-research.md`](./online-research.md) | Cited primary sources: each provider's OAuth endpoints, tokens, quotas, 429 handling. |
+| [`proxypal-analysis.md`](./proxypal-analysis.md) | Deep inventory of ProxyPal + the CLIProxyAPI engine it wraps. |
+| [`raw/`](./raw/) | Captured data: issue JSON/comments + ProxyPal snapshot metadata. |
+
+## The key insight: ProxyPal is a UX shell, not an engine
+
+The most important finding (full evidence in
+[`proxypal-analysis.md`](./proxypal-analysis.md)): **ProxyPal implements no proxy
+and no OAuth.** It is a Tauri v2 + SolidJS desktop GUI that wraps the Go-based
+[**CLIProxyAPI**](https://github.com/router-for-me/CLIProxyAPI) binary as a
+sidecar. CLIProxyAPI is the engine that performs the OAuth, the model/API-dialect
+translation, the multi-account rotation, and the proxying. ProxyPal's value is
+the *experience*: one-click login per provider, auto-configuring installed coding
+tools, usage analytics, and lifecycle management.
+
+```
+ProxyPal (what the issue points at)        link-assistant/router (us)
+───────────────────────────────────        ──────────────────────────
+Tauri shell (Rust)                          We already ARE a Rust proxy engine.
+  └─ SolidJS UI  ───────────────────────►   Adopt these IDEAS (login, configure,
+       (login / configure / analytics)       analytics) as CLI/JSON surfaces.
+       └─ CLIProxyAPI engine (Go) ───────►   Adopt this ARCHITECTURE (per-provider
+            (OAuth, translate, rotate)        auth + translation + rotation) in OUR
+                                              engine — don't embed a foreign one.
+```
+
+So "use the best experience from ProxyPal" resolves to **two distinct things**:
+
+1. **Adopt CLIProxyAPI's engine architecture** — per-provider OAuth, a dialect
+   translation registry, and smart account rotation/cooldown — implemented
+   *natively in our Rust engine* (we already own one; we shouldn't bolt on a Go
+   sidecar and throw away the `la_sk_` token gateway, Lino store, Gonka/Crater,
+   and single-binary deployment that define this project).
+2. **Adopt ProxyPal's UX** — login, auto-configure-your-coding-tool, and usage
+   analytics — re-expressed as `router` subcommands and JSON endpoints (with a
+   GUI as optional later work).
+
+## Where the router stands today
+
+Full inventory was produced by reading every source file; highlights relevant to
+this issue (file evidence in [`requirements.md`](./requirements.md) and
+[`solution-plans.md`](./solution-plans.md)):
+
+- **Claude is fully supported.** `src/oauth.rs` reads the real nested
+  `~/.claude/.credentials.json`, the proxy injects `anthropic-version` +
+  `anthropic-beta: oauth-2025-04-20`, and `la_sk_` tokens hide the real OAuth
+  credential (issue #35). This is our model for every other provider.
+- **A capable proxy core:** axum server; OpenAI↔Anthropic translation
+  (`src/openai.rs`, incl. streaming SSE); `/v1/messages`, `/v1/chat/completions`,
+  `/v1/responses`, `/v1/models`; admin + `/metrics` + `/v1/usage` + `/v1/accounts`.
+- **Multi-account routing** (`src/accounts.rs`): round-robin/priority/least-used
+  with a fixed 60s cooldown on 429 — **Claude-only**.
+- **Several upstreams** via `UPSTREAM_PROVIDER`: `anthropic` (default, incl.
+  Bedrock/Vertex request shapes), `gonka` (signed), `crater` (ForgeFed),
+  `openai-compatible`/`litellm` (static API key).
+- **Scoped tokens:** `la_sk_` JWTs with TTL, revocation, and per-token
+  `max_requests` budgets; dual Lino-text + binary store.
+
+## The gap (what "fully support codex/gemini/qwen" requires)
+
+| Capability | Today | Needed |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Claude subscription | ✅ file read + beta header | refresh + native login (hardening) |
+| Codex/ChatGPT subscription | ❌ API-key only | read `~/.codex` + ChatGPT Responses route; native login |
+| Gemini subscription | ❌ (Vertex *shape* only, no Google creds) | read `~/.gemini` + Code Assist route + Gemini translation; native login |
+| Qwen subscription | ❌ | read `~/.qwen` → DashScope; device-code login |
+| Provider abstraction | one variant (`OpenAICompatible`) | per-provider auth + model map + translation |
+| Native OAuth login / device-code | ❌ (reads files only) | `router login <provider>` (PKCE / device-code) via `oauth2` crate |
+| Token refresh | ❌ (`refresh_token()` re-reads the file) | real `exchange_refresh_token()` per provider |
+| Cross-provider account pool | ❌ Claude-only | mixed-provider pool + `fill-first` + `Retry-After` cooldown |
+| Auto-configure client tools | ❌ | `router configure <tool>` + `router doctor` detection |
+| Per-provider usage/quota/savings | coarse counters | per-provider token+cost + vendor quota polling |
+| GUI / dashboard | ❌ (JSON/Prometheus only) | optional thin web dashboard / desktop wrapper |
+
+## The plan
+
+The full, file-level, phased plan is in
+[`solution-plans.md`](./solution-plans.md). The shape:
+
+- **Read before login.** For each new provider, first *read the credential file
+  the vendor CLI already writes* (Phase 1) — zero OAuth code, immediate
+  subscription access, exactly how Claude works today — then add native
+  `router login` (Phase 2) to drop the vendor-CLI dependency.
+- **Foundation first.** Generalize the provider abstraction + a translation
+  registry (Plan 5) before adding Codex (Plan 2), Gemini (Plan 3), Qwen (Plan 4).
+- **Borrow Rust libraries, not engines.** Use the `oauth2` crate (PKCE +
+  device-code + refresh) for login; adopt CLIProxyAPI's rotation/cooldown
+  *design*; re-express ProxyPal's UX as CLI subcommands.
+- **Verify each provider live.** Every implementation PR ships redacted live
+  evidence against a real subscription, like issue #35's Claude proof.
+
+### Suggested follow-up PR order
+
+1. Provider abstraction + translation registry (Plan 5)
+2. Codex via `~/.codex` read (Plan 2 Phase 1)
+3. Gemini via `~/.gemini` read + Gemini translation (Plan 3 Phase 1)
+4. Native `router login` + refresh (Plan 6)
+5. Cross-provider pool + smart cooldown (Plan 7)
+6. `router configure` auto-setup (Plan 8)
+7. Per-provider usage/quota (Plan 9)
+8. Qwen (Plan 4) · 9. Optional GUI (Plan 10)
+
+## Why implementation is not all in this PR
+
+The issue's explicit deliverables (collect/analyze/list/plan/survey) are
+**complete here**. The functional super-goal spans four providers' OAuth, native
+login + refresh, a generalized provider abstraction, cross-provider routing,
+auto-config, and analytics — each of which can only be *verified* against a real
+subscription (Codex/Gemini/Qwen credentials are not available in this
+environment). Shipping untested OAuth for credentials we cannot exercise would
+contradict this repo's "reproduce and verify" discipline. So this PR delivers the
+exhaustive, evidence-backed roadmap, and each provider lands in a focused
+follow-up PR with its own live proof — the same path issue #35 used to land
+Claude correctly.
