**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. ⚠️ A case may instead **ADOPT** a container the user already runs (`DockerCase.owned === false`, mirror of remote-SSH's `owned:false`): Codeman only `exec`s into it and never creates, starts, stops, restarts or removes it, so a missing or stopped container FAILS CLOSED with an actionable message instead of being fixed. Absent = owned, so existing cases are byte-identical. The guarantee is enforced at four independent layers because it cannot be observed by using the feature: `buildDockerStopCommand`/`buildDockerRemoveCommand` throw during pure STRING CONSTRUCTION, `removeDockerContainer` refuses again, drift reports "none" (an adopted container carries no `codeman.confighash` label, so a real comparison would 409 the launch forever), and the boot reaper skips it. ⚠️ Two lifecycle touches the original design missed and that are easy to re-introduce: the full-image export `docker commit`s the container (refused for an adopted case) and the workspace export `docker pause`s it first (skipped — it freezes the owner's processes for the length of the tar). ⚠️ `owned` is applied AFTER `dockerConfigHash`, which takes an explicit field list, or every pre-existing case would trip the drift gate at once. ⚠️ Run modes for a container case come from the CONTAINER (`availableModes`, live-probed): gating the run menu on HOST CLIs (#201) is right for local sessions and wrong here, since a host with no `claude` may run a container that ships one. ⚠️ **A failed probe means opposite things per ownership** — for an ADOPTED case it is a fault worth reporting, for an OWNED one it is the NORMAL state before the first session (the launch chain creates the container), so treating it as a fault hid every agent mode on every freshly linked Docker case behind "start it yourself first". That is why `CaseInfo.docker.owned` is on the wire. ⚠️ Claude is launched WITHOUT `--dangerously-skip-permissions` when the container's exec user is root (Claude Code refuses the flag as root and the refusal is visible only inside the container); which flag to drop is a per-CLI fact, so it is the registry's `overlays.docker.rootCommand`, never a branch. ⚠️ Adoption is **admin-only in multi-user mode**, unlike `docker-link`: linking creates OUR container, whose one bind mount `isWorkingDirAllowed` has already confined, while an adopted container's mounts belong to its owner and one mounting `/` hands the adopter the host. The same reasoning admin-gates the container listing and the in-container directory browser; the preflight instead admits a non-admin for a container already linked to a case they own, because the run menu probes it for every docker case. ⚠️ 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. ⚠️ The deployment ALSO self-updates in place (the repo bind mount at `/opt/codeman` + a restart-by-exiting supervisor) — see Self-update below and `docs/docker-self-update.md` before touching `server.Dockerfile`, the compose file or `.env.example`, since each is an input to the updater's environment gate. `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. ⚠️ Two capability fields carry a REGEX from config (`discovery.version.regex` and `capabilities.workDetect.workingLine`) and both must compile through `compileVersionRegex()`, which caps length and refuses nested quantifiers; `workingLine` is the one that runs on the PTY hot path. ⚠️ **`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`. ⚠️ That second golden no longer covers **remote claude or remote omp**: both now have their own arm in `buildRemoteLaunchCommand` (a `--session-id || --resume` pair, and `--continue`, so a respawn continues the same conversation) and never reach `defaultRemoteCommandForMode`, which is what that test asserts. Their real pins are `toContain` substrings in `test/tmux-manager.test.ts` and `test/remote-shared-sessions.test.ts`; changing either arm will NOT fail the golden. ⚠️ 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`
