 # aicodeman
 
+## 0.6.6
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Terminal scrollback significantly increased** — both the xterm.js viewport and the tmux backing buffer were bottlenecking how far back you could scroll. Three changes:
+  - `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` raised from 20000 → 50000 lines (xterm.js, main terminal). The previous bump from 5000 only helped users with empty localStorage; existing users were stuck on whatever value they first picked up. The loader now treats `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` as a floor — if your stored value is below the new minimum, you're raised to it automatically.
+  - Subagent / teammate terminals (`panels-ui.js`) were stuck at 5000; now use the same `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` constant (50000).
+  - New tmux sessions now run with `history-limit 50000` (tmux defaults to 2000). This matters for hard-reload / re-attach — without it, only the last ~2000 lines survive the round-trip back into a fresh xterm.
+
+  **Tmux flicker on session re-attach fixed (PR #80 by @aakhter)**: the PTY now queries the existing tmux window size via `tmux display -p` before spawning, instead of hardcoding 120x40. Previously, every re-attach forced tmux to resize down to 120x40, causing a visible flicker and one frame of scrollback loss. The `-x 120 -y 40` flag was also dropped from `tmux new-session` so the initial size matches the first attaching client. Uses `execFileSync` (not shell) for safety and falls back to 120x40 on any error.
+
+  **Docs**: CLAUDE.md now documents two recurring foot-guns — the `xterm-zerolag-input` overlay code is duplicated between `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` and inline inside `src/web/public/app.js`, so any overlay change must touch both; and the COM workflow explicitly includes a post-push `gh run watch` step to confirm CI before considering the release done.

 4. **Sync CLAUDE.md version**: Update the `**Version**` line below to match the new version from `package.json`

 CI runs `npm run check:lockfile` on every push/PR, so lockfile drift fails the build even if the `version-packages` script is bypassed.

 - **Global regex `lastIndex`** — Shared `g`-flag patterns in loops must reset `lastIndex = 0` first, or use the `execPattern()` helper in `utils/regex-patterns.ts` (resets automatically)
 - **`envOverrides` flow `CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*` env vars** — Set via `POST /api/sessions { envOverrides }`, stored on `Session._envOverrides`, exported by `tmux-manager.buildEnvExports()` at spawn time, persisted in `SessionState.envOverrides`. **Do NOT** write these to `<case>/.claude/settings.local.json` — that's the old path and creates UI/disk drift
 - **Zod `.optional()` rejects `null`** — accepts `undefined` only. When the frontend builds a request body with `JSON.stringify`, an explicit `null` field is preserved on the wire and fails validation with `INVALID_INPUT`. Convert `null` → `undefined` before stringifying (e.g. `field: value ?? undefined`), or declare the schema `.nullish()`. Real bugs caused: 0.6.4 (`durationMinutes` for ∞ respawn), and the same shape pattern hit `opusContext1mEnabled` in 0.6.3
+- **`xterm-zerolag-input` is duplicated** — the local-echo overlay lives in BOTH `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` (published package) AND inline inside `src/web/public/app.js` (runtime copy used by the web UI). Any change to overlay behavior MUST be applied to both, or dev and prod diverge. Always test on mobile after touching it.
 
 **Import conventions**: Utils from `./utils`, types from `./types` (barrel), config from specific `./config/*` files.
