-# Contributing to Codeman
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- **Node.js 22** (use `nvm use` — `.nvmrc` is included)
-- **tmux** — required for session management
-- **Claude CLI** — installed and accessible in `$PATH`
-
-## First-Time Setup
-
-```bash
-# 1. Clone and enter the repo
-git clone https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman.git
-cd Codeman
-
-# 2. Pin Node version
-nvm use
-
-# 3. Install dependencies (also links packages/xterm-zerolag-input workspace)
-npm install
-
-# 4. Start the dev server
-npm run dev
-# Open http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-## Development Commands
-
-| Command | Purpose |
-|---------|---------|
-| `npm run dev` | Dev server at localhost:3000 |
-| `npm run typecheck` | TypeScript type check |
-| `npm run lint` | ESLint |
-| `npm run lint:fix` | Auto-fix lint issues |
-| `npm run format` | Prettier format |
-| `npm run format:check` | Check formatting (used in CI) |
-| `npm run build` | Production build |
-| `npm run clean` | Remove dist/ |
-
-## Running Tests Safely
-
-> **CRITICAL:** If you are running inside a Codeman-managed tmux session, **never** run the full test suite — it spawns and kills tmux sessions and will crash your own session.
-
-```bash
-# Safe: run a single test file
-npx vitest run test/<file>.test.ts
-
-# Safe: run tests matching a name pattern
-npx vitest run -t "pattern"
-
-# DANGEROUS — only run outside of Codeman:
-# npx vitest run
-```
-
-Test files use unique ports starting at 3150. Search `const PORT =` before adding a new test file.
-
-## Code Style
-
-- **TypeScript strict mode** — all strict flags are enabled in `tsconfig.json`. Code must pass `npm run typecheck` with zero errors.
-- **ESLint** — run `npm run lint` before submitting a PR. Use `npm run lint:fix` for auto-fixable issues.
-- **Prettier** — run `npm run format` to format source files. CI enforces `format:check`.
-- **Import conventions:**
-  - Utilities: `import { LRUMap, stripAnsi } from './utils'`
-  - Types: `import type { SessionState } from './types'`
-  - Config: `import { MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER_SIZE } from './config/buffer-limits'`
-
-## Architecture Quick Reference
-
-| Concern | File |
-|---------|------|
-| Session/PTY | `src/session.ts` |
-| Web server (~105 routes) | `src/web/server.ts` |
-| All TypeScript types | `src/types.ts` |
-| Frontend (vanilla JS) | `src/web/public/app.js` |
-| Respawn state machine | `src/respawn-controller.ts` |
-| Task/Ralph loop | `src/ralph-loop.ts`, `src/ralph-tracker.ts` |
-
-See `CLAUDE.md` for the full architecture reference.
-
-## PR Checklist
-
-- [ ] `npm run typecheck` passes
-- [ ] `npm run lint` passes (or issues are documented)
-- [ ] `npm run format:check` passes
-- [ ] Relevant test file updated or added
-- [ ] No full test suite run inside a Codeman session
-- [ ] tmux safety respected (no blind `tmux kill-session`)
