docs: refresh README + document v0.9.5 security hardening
README: add a dedicated Security section (always-on Host/Origin
allowlist & DNS-rebinding defense, cross-site CSRF guard, raw
text/plain parser, WebSocket origin validation, XSS-escaped agent
output), plus an Orchestrator Loop section, Agent Teams, and a
More Features section (self-update, dual-CLI, effort/ultracode,
voice, image, gesture, multi-monitor, CJK). Correct stale stats
(tests 1435->2861, 13->15 route modules, 14->16 types, 9->10
config, server.ts 2697->2254, 9->18 frontend modules), fix the
keyboard-shortcut table to match the actual registry (drop the
unbound Ctrl+Enter/Ctrl+K), repoint a moved doc link, add
Orchestrator + self-update API rows, and add Orchestrator/Team
Watcher to the architecture diagram.
security-architecture.md: document the always-on Host-header &
Origin allowlist, text/plain hardening, WebSocket check, XSS
escaping, and CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS.
CLAUDE.md: add Host guard / CSRF guard rows + CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS.
security review report: add a remediation-status banner (the
pre-fix TL;DR now reads as v0.9.4 state; fixed in c669518).

|
||||
| **Network bind** | Defaults to `127.0.0.1` (loopback). A non-loopback bind (`--host`/`CODEMAN_HOST`) without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` **starts but warns loudly** (0.9.0; was fail-closed in COD-29/#107). `--allow-unauthenticated-network` / `CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1` acknowledges the warning. Classifier: `network-auth-policy.ts` |
|
||||
| **Host guard** | Always-on Host-header allowlist blocks DNS rebinding (RCE on the default no-auth loopback install). Allows loopback, any IP literal, the bind host, `*.ts.net`/`*.trycloudflare.com`/`*.cfargotunnel.com`, the active managed tunnel, and `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. ⚠️ **Custom reverse-proxy domains are rejected** unless added via `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=host,.suffix`. `registerHostGuard` in `server.ts`; policy in `network-auth-policy.ts` (`buildHostPolicy`/`isAllowedRequestHost`/`isAllowedRequestOrigin`) |
|
||||
| **CSRF / Origin** | Always-on cross-site Origin guard rejects state-changing requests from foreign origins (covers self-update, session create/input, settings/tunnel toggles). **A missing Origin is allowed** so curl/CLI and Claude Code hooks keep working. The global body parser keeps `text/plain` RAW (no auto-JSON-parse, which had enabled simple-request CSRF); `/api/crash-diag` self-parses. WebSocket upgrade validates Origin+Host (anti-CSWSH) in `ws-routes.ts`. Added in `c669518` (closes 2026-06-09 review CRITICALs) |
|
||||
| **QR Auth** | Single-use 6-char tokens (60s TTL) for tunnel login. See `docs/qr-auth-plan.md` |
|
||||
| **Sessions** | 24h cookie (`codeman_session`), auto-extend, device context audit |
|
||||
| **Rate limit** | 10 failed auth/IP → 429 (15min decay). QR has separate limiter |
|
||||
| **Hook bypass** | `/api/hook-event` exempt from auth (localhost-only, schema-validated) |
|

## Orchestrator Loop
|
||||
|
||||
Beyond single-session respawn, the **Orchestrator** turns a high-level goal into a phased plan and drives it to completion across multiple agents — a state machine that runs `idle → planning → approval → executing → verifying → (replanning) → completed`.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Plan, then execute** — generates a phased plan from your goal and pauses for approval before touching anything; reject with feedback to regenerate
|
||||
- **Per-phase verification gates** — each phase is verified before the next begins; on failure the orchestrator replans instead of barreling ahead
|
||||
- **Multi-agent execution** — fans phases out to team agents / a task queue, coordinating work too big for one session
|
||||
- **Crash-safe** — full state persists under the `orchestrator` key in `state.json`, so it survives restarts
|
||||
- **Driven from the UI or API** — the Orchestrator panel, or `POST /api/orchestrator/start` → `/approve` → `/status` (10 endpoints)
|
||||
|
||||
> Distinct from Ralph (a single-session autonomous loop): the orchestrator coordinates multi-phase, multi-agent execution. Full design: [`docs/orchestrator-loop-architecture.md`](docs/orchestrator-loop-architecture.md).

## More Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Self-update** — git-clone installs under systemd/launchd update in place from **App Settings → Updates**: it detects the latest release, auto-stashes a dirty tree, and streams build progress across the service restart (npm installs report as non-updatable)
|
||||
- **Dual-CLI** — run **Claude Code** or **OpenCode** per session; env-var prefixes auto-gate (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*`). See [`docs/opencode-integration.md`](docs/opencode-integration.md)
|
||||
- **Effort & Ultracode** — set a per-session default effort (`low`–`max`) or enable **ultracode** (dynamic multi-agent workflows). Soft defaults only — switchable anytime with `/effort` in-session. Extended-thinking budget is configurable too
|
||||
- **Voice input** — dictate prompts with Deepgram Nova-3 (Web Speech API fallback): toggle recording, auto-silence stop, live level meter (`Ctrl+Shift+V`)
|
||||
- **Image input** — paste or drag-and-drop images straight into a session
|
||||
- **Gesture control** *(opt-in)* — a MediaPipe hand-tracking overlay to grab/drag session windows and pinch buttons, hands-free. Enable with `CODEMAN_GESTURE=1` + App Settings → Display
|
||||
- **Multi-monitor span** *(macOS)* — one click opens a browser window maximized across all displays, so floating agent/gesture panels can cross the physical seam
|
||||
- **CJK / IME input** — full composition support for Chinese / Japanese / Korean
|
||||
- **OS notifications & hostname-aware titles** — desktop alerts and tab titles are prefixed `codeman:<host>` so multi-host setups stay unambiguous

## Security
|
||||
|
||||
Codeman launches sessions with `--dangerously-skip-permissions`, so the web UI is by design a remote-code-execution surface for whoever can reach it — the whole security model exists to control *who* that is. Recent hardening (v0.9.0 + v0.9.5) closes the browser-driven attack paths that bite self-hosted dev tools. Full model: [`docs/security-architecture.md`](docs/security-architecture.md).
|
||||
|
||||
### Network & access
|
||||
|
||||
- **Loopback by default** — binds `127.0.0.1`, reachable only from the same machine, so the no-password default is safe out of the box. Binding a non-loopback host without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` *starts but prints a loud warning* with three concrete fixes (set a password, loopback + an authenticated tunnel, or explicitly acknowledge with `--allow-unauthenticated-network`)
|
||||
- **Optional auth, real sessions** — HTTP Basic via `CODEMAN_USERNAME` (default `admin`) / `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`. Success issues an opaque 256-bit `codeman_session` cookie (`randomBytes(32)`) — validated server-side, not client-signed, so it can't be forged offline (24h TTL, auto-extend, device-context audit log)
|
||||
- **Per-IP rate limiting** — 10 failed attempts → `429` with `Retry-After` (15-min decay). A valid cookie or correct password recovers *immediately* even while an attacker hammers the same IP — important because all tunnel traffic shares one loopback IP. QR auth has its own separate limiter
|
||||
|
||||
### Always-on browser hardening (v0.9.5)
|
||||
|
||||
These run for **every** request — before auth, even on the default no-password loopback install:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Host-header allowlist → blocks DNS rebinding.** A custom domain rebound to `127.0.0.1` is rejected with `403 host not allowed` before any handler runs. Allowed: `localhost`, any IP literal, the bind host, `.ts.net` / `.trycloudflare.com` / `.cfargotunnel.com`, the active managed tunnel, and `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` (add custom reverse-proxy domains here — comma-separated; exact host or leading-dot `.suffix` for subdomains)
|
||||
- **Cross-site Origin / CSRF guard.** On state-changing methods (`POST`/`PUT`/`PATCH`/`DELETE`) the `Origin` must pass the same allowlist, else `403 cross-site request blocked`. A *missing* Origin is allowed (so `curl`, the CLI, and Claude Code hooks keep working); only a present-but-foreign or opaque `null` origin is rejected
|
||||
- **Raw `text/plain` bodies.** The global parser no longer JSON-parses `text/plain`, closing the CORS "simple request" CSRF vector where a cross-site `fetch` could smuggle JSON into a write route with no preflight
|
||||
- **WebSocket origin validation.** The terminal WS upgrade runs the same Host + Origin check and closes with code `4003` on failure (anti-CSWSH)
|
||||
- **XSS-escaped agent output.** AI-derived strings (tool names, command arguments, subagent descriptions) are HTML-escaped at every injection site before rendering in the subagent / activity panels
|
||||
|
||||
### Input, files & headers
|
||||
|
||||
- **Schema-validated inputs** — every API body is checked with Zod v4 schemas; a `CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*` env-prefix allowlist gates which settings each CLI can receive
|
||||
- **Path containment** — file routes `realpath` before boundary checks (no TOCTOU); `..`, absolute paths, and symlinks resolving outside the working dir are rejected. Caps: 10 MB text preview / 50 MB raw & download; `/api/download` blocklists sensitive paths (`.env`, `*credentials*`, `~/.ssh/`, `.aws/credentials`). SVG/HTML is served `octet-stream` + `nosniff` + attachment so it downloads rather than executes
|
||||
- **Security headers** — `Content-Security-Policy` (`default-src 'self'`, every exception enumerated), `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN`, HSTS over HTTPS, and CORS reflected **only** for `localhost` / `127.0.0.1` / `::1`
|
||||
|
||||
### Supply chain & isolation
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pinned & verified deps** — security-sensitive transitive deps are forced to patched versions via npm `overrides`; lockfile integrity is checked on every commit/PR (all entries resolve to `registry.npmjs.org` with `sha512` hashes). Public assets are NUL-byte-scanned and `node --check`-validated in CI
|
||||
- **Multi-instance isolation** — `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` scopes both the tmux socket (`-L codeman-<name>`) and data dir (`~/.codeman-<name>`) so two instances never attach each other's live sessions

||||
Since **0.9.5** an **always‑on** `onRequest` hook (`registerHostGuard`,
|
||||
`src/web/middleware/auth.ts`; policy in `src/web/network-auth-policy.ts`) runs
|
||||
**before** the auth pipeline in §2 and guards **every** request — including the
|
||||
localhost‑only exemptions above, SSE, the WebSocket upgrade, and static files. It
|
||||
closes the browser‑driven RCE path (DNS rebinding plus a cross‑site `text/plain`
|
||||
`POST`) that the loopback‑no‑password default otherwise exposed to any site the
|
||||
operator merely visits.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Host allowlist (anti‑DNS‑rebinding).** The `Host` header is validated on
|
||||
**every** request, all methods. A custom domain rebound to `127.0.0.1` is
|
||||
rejected with `403 Forbidden: host not allowed` before any handler runs. Allowed:
|
||||
`localhost`; **any** IP literal (IPv4/IPv6 — a browser hitting a numeric address
|
||||
can't be a rebinding victim); the bind host; the suffixes `.ts.net`,
|
||||
`.trycloudflare.com`, `.cfargotunnel.com`; the hostname of the active
|
||||
Codeman‑managed tunnel; and anything in `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. A missing/empty
|
||||
`Host` is rejected.
|
||||
- **Origin / CSRF guard.** On **state‑changing** methods (everything except
|
||||
`GET`/`HEAD`/`OPTIONS`) the `Origin` header must also pass the same allowlist,
|
||||
else `403 Forbidden: cross‑site request blocked`. A **missing `Origin` is
|
||||
allowed** (so `curl`, the CLI, and Claude Code hooks keep working); only a
|
||||
present‑but‑foreign origin — or the opaque `null` origin (sandboxed iframe) — is
|
||||
rejected. This blocks the cross‑site CSRF that could previously create sessions,
|
||||
trigger self‑update, or flip `tunnelEnabled`.
|
||||
- **Raw `text/plain` bodies.** The global `text/plain` content‑type parser no
|
||||
longer JSON‑parses bodies — it hands handlers the raw string (`/api/crash-diag`
|
||||
self‑parses its beacon payload). This removes the CORS "simple request" CSRF
|
||||
vector, where a cross‑site `fetch` with `Content-Type: text/plain` smuggled a
|
||||
JSON body into a write route with no preflight — defense‑in‑depth alongside the
|
||||
Origin guard.
|
||||
- **WebSocket upgrades.** The terminal WS upgrade (`src/web/routes/ws-routes.ts`)
|
||||
runs the **same** Host + Origin check and closes with code `4003` on failure
|
||||
(anti‑CSWSH).
|
||||
|
||||
The policy is rebuilt per request from
|
||||
`buildHostPolicy(bindHost, tunnelManager.getUrl())`, so starting or stopping a
|
||||
tunnel at runtime updates the allowlist with no restart.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Reverse‑proxy operators:** a custom proxy domain (e.g. `codeman.example.com`)
|
||||
> is **not** in the default allowlist and gets `403 host not allowed`. Add it via
|
||||
> `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` — comma‑separated, case‑insensitive; an exact hostname
|
||||
> matches only itself, while a leading‑dot entry (`.corp.internal`) matches the
|
||||
> bare domain **and** all subdomains. Behaviour is covered by
|
||||
> `test/network-host-guard.test.ts`.
