**Docker cases**: a case can point at a **container**, with any of the CLI run modes running inside it. Like remote-SSH this is a **LOCATION OVERLAY on cases, never a `SessionMode` of its own**. Exactly one long-lived container **per case**, shared by all its sessions, so killing a session kills only that session's in-container tmux and **never** `docker stop` while siblings remain. The workspace is a real host dir bind-mounted at the **same absolute path**, which is what keeps file-routes/watchers on real host bytes and makes the in-container transcript projHash match the host. Credentials are **seeded** (RO mount, copied into the container once) rather than shared RW, so in-container CLIs never write refreshed tokens back to the host, and bind mounts are excluded from `docker commit` so exports stay secret-free. **NEVER a create-time `-e` for secrets, NEVER `--privileged`, NEVER the docker socket.** Config drift is detected via a label hash and a drifted launch is REFUSED rather than silently launched with stale config. ⚠️ On the loopback-only prod bind a container cannot reach 127.0.0.1, so in-container hooks need `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS=1`; otherwise idle detection falls back to output-based. → [architecture-invariants#docker-cases](docs/architecture-invariants.md#docker-cases), `docs/docker-cases.md` (user guide), `docs/docker-cases-plan.md` (design)
**Docker Compose deployment** (`docker/`, contributed): Codeman itself runs in a container and spawns Docker cases as **SIBLING** containers through the mounted host socket (Docker-outside-of-Docker), never nested. That inverts one assumption the bare-host path takes for granted: the daemon no longer shares Codeman's filesystem, so a bind source valid *inside* Codeman means nothing to it. `resolveDockerDaemonMountSource()` translates sources under HOME into the daemon's namespace via `CODEMAN_DOCKER_HOST_HOME`, and `CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` points the cases dir at a host-absolute bind mount so a workspace resolves to the SAME absolute path on both sides (which is what keeps the transcript projHash matching, per Docker cases above). ⚠️ **`CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` must move every consumer or none**: it is resolved once in `config/cases-dir.ts` because `src/cli.ts` resolves case paths too, and when only the server's `CASES_DIR` learned the override, `codeman skill install --case <name>` reported "Case not found" on exactly the deployment the override exists for. ⚠️ **`.dockerignore` patterns match the WHOLE context-relative path**, so a bare `.env` line excludes only the ROOT file: `docker/.env` (which holds `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` and any provider keys) rode `COPY . .` into the image until `**/.env` was added — verified in both directions with a real build context. ⚠️ A Compose LONG-form bind (`type: bind`) **creates a missing host source directory ROOT-OWNED** rather than refusing, so any bind source the runtime user must write to has to be pre-created and chowned. `CODEMAN_DOCKER_DISABLE_SWAP_LIMIT=1` drops `--memory-swap` (and filters only that one kernel warning) for hosts without swap accounting; `--memory` still applies. `docs/docker-compose.md` + `docker/README.md` (user guides)

**CLI registry** (`src/config/cli-registry/`): every run mode is a `CliEntry` — discovery (search dirs, version + identity probes), the launch argv template, env handling, the `capabilities` flags that replace per-CLI branching, and the `overlays` that back the remote/docker pane commands. **No code outside `stock.ts` may branch on a CLI id**; behaviour that genuinely differs is either a capability field or a NAMED PROFILE selected by one (`profiles.ts`), and `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` fails the build if an id check reappears — it matches `===`, `!==`, `case '<id>':` and `[...].includes(mode)`, because an earlier `===`-only version let 36 negated branches survive the conversion (including a seven-mode Ralph chain whose own comment asked the next person to keep it in step with `isExternalCliMode()` by hand). ⚠️ Config contains no shell text: an entry declares typed argv tokens, literals are validated against a safe-word pattern at LOAD time (a bad literal rejects the whole entry — a silently dropped `--no-approve` is not cosmetic), and values resolve through patterns NAMED in code, so a user `clis.json` cannot widen its own validation. ⚠️ `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` are three INDEPENDENT capabilities on purpose; deriving one from another shipped the `until=stop`-hangs-on-shell bug. ⚠️ **`param` is TWO namespaces.** `launch.params` keys, `env.configSetenv[].fromParam` and `capabilities.privilegedParams[].param` all name a LAUNCH PARAM; the legacy `<Mode>Config` wire field is a separate namespace, bridged only by `launch.legacyConfigAliases`. Getting `privilegedParams[].param` wrong is SILENT — it is the multi-user bypass clamp's only handle on a CLI's privilege switch, and a wrong name clamps nothing with no load error and no failing test — so `schema.ts` rejects an entry naming a param it never declared. Codex is the entry where the two names differ (`bypassApprovals` vs `dangerouslyBypassApprovals`) and therefore the one that catches a regression. ⚠️ Six fields are DECLARED-FOR-LATER and read by nothing (`shortBadge`, `accent`, `capabilities.echo`/`wheelForward`/`keyboardAccessory`/`maxFrameBytes`): all frontend behaviour, transcribed rather than measured, so re-measure before wiring one up; the list is pinned so it cannot quietly grow. Spawn commands are pinned as literal strings in `test/cli-registry-spawn-golden.test.ts`, remote/docker pane commands in `test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts`. ⚠️ Anything reading the registry resolves it AT CALL TIME (`sessionModeSchema()`, `allowedEnvPrefixes()`, `dependencyRegistry()`, the resolvers' `searchDirs` thunks) — a module-level const freezes at first import, so a CLI enabled while the server ran moved the run menu but not that surface. `~/.codeman/clis.json` overrides any entry (read-only in this release; nothing writes it, so importing the registry has no filesystem side effects). → `docs/cli-registry.md`

**Terminal scrollback strip + wheel/touch forwarding** (#205): codex/claude/gemini get the FULL strip (alt-screen, `3J`, mouse DECSETs); tmux-backed shell/opencode/antigravity/omp get a NARROW strip (alt-screen toggles only — it removes tmux's own attach-time `smcup`, which otherwise parks xterm in the scrollback-less alt buffer and turns the wheel into arrow keys). ⚠️ Gated on `useMux`: direct-PTY fallback sessions must keep the alt screen for vim/less/htop. Wheel AND touch forward to the CLI transcript for **claude ≥ 2.1.187 ONLY** at ANY scroll position (snap-to-bottom first); Shift+wheel and the `terminalWheelLocalScrollback` setting stay local. ⚠️ Codex was in that list and must never go back without a fresh measurement: codex-cli 0.147.0 ignores SGR wheel reports entirely (`mouse_any_flag=0`, inline viewport, transcript pushed into terminal scrollback), so forwarding produced a dead wheel (#227 follow-up). `_wheelScrollLines()` reads `ev.deltaMode` (Firefox = LINE units). ⚠️ When that gate is FALSE on a claude session whose local buffer is hollow (`baseY === 0`), the gesture becomes coalesced PageUp/PageDown key sends (`_maybePageCliTranscript`) instead of a no-op; ⚠️ and `getClaudeCliVersion()` must never cache a FAILED probe (one timeout used to disable forwarding process-wide until restart). ⚠️ **A click is hand-reported to the CLI only while the CLI actually has mouse tracking on.** The full strip removes the mouse DECSETs, so xterm's `mouseTrackingMode` is permanently `none` there and the browser hand-encodes SGR reports (`_sendSyntheticSgrTap`); without state it did that on EVERY click, so a stripped-mode pane running a plain shell (CLI exited, or a shell started inside a claude-mode session) received reports it never asked for and printed them as literal text (`[<0;88;20M`), garbling the next typed line. `_recordStrippedMouseMode()` (session.ts) records what the strip removes, `toState()` publishes `cliMouseTracking`, and `_shouldReportMouseToCli()` gates all three report sites on it. Only 1000/1001/1002/1003 count (1005/1006 are encodings, 1007 is alt-scroll), and the change broadcasts UNdebounced since a dialog can be clicked inside the 500ms window. `_logScrollRouting()` prints the routing decision and its inputs once per session — read it before diagnosing a scroll report. → [architecture-invariants#terminal-scrollback-strip-flavors-and-wheeltouch-forwarding](docs/architecture-invariants.md#terminal-scrollback-strip-flavors-and-wheeltouch-forwarding)
**Detached start + service install** (issue #231): `codeman web -d` relaunches the SAME entry script with `detached:true` (setsid), so there is no controlling terminal and no shell job entry. ⚠️ `nohup` is NOT what makes this work: Node re-arms SIGHUP to its default disposition even when it inherits "ignore", and `cli.ts` handles SIGHUP with a graceful shutdown, so a delivered HUP still stops the server. ⚠️ Both `-d` and `service install` must REFUSE when a server is already up on this data dir (pidfile check + `/api/status` probe): a second instance on the shared tmux socket attaches PTYs to the first one's live sessions. ⚠️ Neither may report success it has not observed — the parent polls `/api/status` until the child answers or dies, since `launchctl load` and a clean spawn are both silent about a server that starts and immediately exits. `--stop` verifies the pid still LOOKS like a Codeman server (`ps -o command=`) before signalling, because pids get recycled. Unit/label names live in `config/service-names.ts` so install.sh, `detectSupervisor()` and `service install` cannot drift into supervising two copies; they are instance-scoped, and identical to the historical names for the default instance. `service install` bakes the installing shell's PATH into the unit (launchd gives a job `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, which finds neither a Homebrew/nvm `node` nor `tmux`/`claude`) and never writes `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` into it. → [architecture-invariants#detached-start-and-service-install](docs/architecture-invariants.md#detached-start-and-service-install)
**Self-update** (App Settings → System → Updates): in-app updater for git-clone installs supervised by systemd/launchd (`systemd`, `launchd`, `launchd-daemon`, else `none` → "restart manually"). The update restarts the very process running it, so the real work runs in a DETACHED `scripts/self-update.sh` that outlives the restart and writes progress to `update-status.json`, which the browser polls across the connection drop. `src/web/self-update.ts` splits pure helpers (unit-tested) from IO wrappers. npm installs report as non-updatable. → [architecture-invariants#self-update](docs/architecture-invariants.md#self-update)

The update restarts the very process running it, so the real work runs in a DETACHED `scripts/self-update.sh` that outlives the restart and writes progress to `update-status.json`, which the browser polls across the connection drop. `src/web/self-update.ts` splits pure helpers (unit-tested) from IO wrappers. npm installs report as non-updatable. ⚠️ **The Compose deployment is the one supervisor that does NOT outlive the restart**: there the restart IS the container exiting (`restart: unless-stopped` relaunches it), which kills the script too — safe only because the terminal `restarting` marker is written BEFORE the kill, so nothing may be appended after it. Two config facts make it work at all and both are load-bearing: the repo is a HOST BIND MOUNT over `/opt/codeman` (a pull into the baked image copy would land in the writable layer and be silently discarded by the next `up`), and the runtime image keeps devDependencies + a build toolchain (`npm run build` is tsc+esbuild, and node-pty has no Linux prebuild), which is why `npm prune --omit=dev` is gone and the updater passes `--include=dev` against `NODE_ENV=production`. ⚠️ An in-place container update applies CODE ONLY — a restart reuses the existing image and config — so `evaluateEnvironmentGate()` REFUSES a release that changes `server.Dockerfile`/`docker-compose.yaml` (sha256 vs the baseline `Start-Codeman.sh` writes to `docker-env-applied.json` on every start) or adds `.env.example` keys the user's `.env` lacks, and refuses when the restart policy would not bring the container back. That third check exists because **Compose resolves an unset `${VAR}` to the EMPTY STRING and starts anyway**, so a new required setting otherwise arrives as a silently blank env var. Every unknown fails OPEN (no baseline, unreadable `.env`, no socket): failing closed would permanently block containers created before the fingerprint file existed. The gate is re-evaluated on `POST /api/system/update`, so hiding the button is UX, not the control. ⚠️ The four global agent CLIs in `server.Dockerfile` are PINNED on purpose — unpinned, a user's CLI versions are a function of when their image was built rather than of any commit, which is the one environment change no diff-derived gate can see; pinning turns it into a Dockerfile change the gate already catches. `test/docker-compose-env-parity.test.ts` is the merge-side guard (every compose `${VAR}` ↔ an `.env.example` entry). → [docs/docker-self-update.md](docs/docker-self-update.md), [architecture-invariants#self-update](docs/architecture-invariants.md#self-update)
**Attachments** (live external document references; all wiring in `file-routes.ts`): a **registry** maps a stable `attachmentId` to a realpath-resolved, extension-allowlisted absolute path, so browser requests never carry arbitrary absolute paths. ⚠️ The **magic-link scanner** (`codeman://attach?...` in terminal output) is **prompt-injectable**, so its scan path is force-confined to the session workspace; a hostile prompt could otherwise exfiltrate arbitrary host files over SSE. The security gate is an extension **allowlist**, not a blocklist. `document-conversion-limiter.ts` caps converter spawns globally: without it, N large docs detected at once fork N multi-minute processes, which is a resource-exhaustion vector. → [architecture-invariants#attachments](docs/architecture-invariants.md#attachments)
