There was no way to log out of Facebook in Carrier. Facebook's account menu is hidden, and Clear Cache and Restart is not a sign-out.
The app menu (File on Windows and Linux, the Carrier menu on macOS) and the tray menu now have Log Out and Log Out and Reset Carrier….
- Log Out runs Facebook's own logout in the page: it posts the logout token from
CometLogoutHandlerQueryto/logout.php, as Facebook's account menu does, so the session ends on Facebook's side. Success means thec_usercookie is gone. Carrier then shows the login page in every Messenger window and empties the recent-conversations menus. - Log Out and Reset Carrier… asks first, then logs out and restarts. The existing Clear Cache marker gains a reset kind: on the next start Carrier deletes the webview data store plus what it keeps for the account (notification ledger, macOS notification routes, scheduled messages). Before restarting it also removes this run's avatar files and the delivered macOS and Windows notifications.
settings.jsonis kept. If Facebook can't be reached, it still resets and explains that the session may stay open. - On Windows and Linux the data clear now keeps the log folder, because the running log file lives there.
Live-tested on Linux with a test account in an isolated profile. Log Out ended the session, showed the login page, and Carrier stayed logged out after a restart. Log Out and Reset was run only from the logged-out state: the confirmation dialog appeared, settings.json stayed byte-identical, the cookies, notification ledger and scheduled messages were removed, and Carrier restarted cleanly. Not live-tested: Reset while logged in, and the macOS and Windows paths (cross-clippy is clean).
