 **Agent wait primitives**: bounded long-polls: `GET /api/sessions/:id/wait`, `GET .../wait-output` (literal substring, **never** regex) and `wait`/`waitTimeout` on `POST .../input`. Registry `session-wait-registry.ts` (pure), bounds `config/agent-wait.ts`. ⚠️ A timeout is a 200 (`wait.timedOut`). ⚠️ `stop`/`blocked` exist for `claude` and `deepseek` ONLY (rule lives in `hooksAvailableForMode()`): explicit request elsewhere is a 400. ⚠️ Send-and-wait registers the waiter BEFORE the write; teardown must `notifySignal('exit')` BEFORE `cancelAll()`; hangup abort listens on `reply.raw` (guarded by `writableFinished`), never `req.raw`; liveness comes from `isPaneDead`, never `session.pid`. ⚠️ Signals are edge-triggered with no history: gather fan-outs via send-and-wait or `wait-output` markers. Packaged as the `skills/codeman` skill (`codeman skill install`, plugin marketplace, or injection behind `agentSkillEnabled`, SYNCED, default OFF): injection is add-only, marker-owned (`applyAgentSkill`), refuses symlinks, and refreshes a marker-owned user-level copy (`refreshUserAgentSkill`). → [architecture-invariants#agent-wait-primitives](docs/architecture-invariants.md#agent-wait-primitives), `docs/api-reference.md`

-**Agent CLI (`codeman agent …`, `src/cli-agent.ts`)**: the command-line client for the wait primitives and the session verbs, for agents in modes that never get the claude-only preamble (`seedAgentSessionPreamble` is local-claude only; every pane still exports `CODEMAN_MUX`/`CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`/`CODEMAN_API_URL`). It is a CLIENT: no new route, no second transport (the plan's "Socket API" non-goal stands), every call carries `X-Codeman-Parent-Session`, only `spawn`'s quick-start carries `X-Codeman-Agent-Origin` (pinned in test/cli-agent.test.ts), auth (`src/codeman-credentials.ts`, shared with `codeman attach` and the TUI) from `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` or the data dir's `.env` (the same reader `codeman attach` uses — `readCodemanEnvFile`). Verbs return exit codes (`0` ok / `1` error / `2` timeout / `3` exited / `4` refused) instead of calling `process.exit`, so `test/cli-agent.test.ts` drives every verb against a recording fake transport plus the real `httpRequest` against a local server. ⚠️ Three guards live in code, not prose, and the tests pin them: refuse without `CODEMAN_MUX=1`+`CODEMAN_API_URL` (never guess a URL); `send` transmits printable text + `\r` only (`inputRefusal`: any byte < 0x20 or DEL refuses BEFORE the transport — opencode's `Ctrl+C` is `app_exit`), ESC exists solely as `interrupt` with no `\r`; `rm` fails closed (`deleteRefusal`: empty id, self shorter than 8, prefix match in EITHER direction, re-checked on the resolved id). ⚠️ The routes accept FULL ids only — an 8-char prefix is a 404 (measured live) — while `ls` prints prefixes, so `resolveSessionId` maps a short id through `GET /api/v1/sessions` and refuses an ambiguous one. ⚠️ A 400 for `--until stop` on a hook-less mode is passed through verbatim, never papered over: the marker path is the answer there. `spawn` on a readiness timeout exits 2 and LEAVES the session for inspection (the skill's `spawn_worker` deletes it; the CLI's caller is often a human); its stdout is the id ALONE (prose on stderr) so `SID=$(…)` works. ⚠️ Two server answers that look like success and are not: `delivered:false` without `duplicate` (the bytes went into a dead pane — the field exists so a client says "restart" instead of "wait longer") and `wait.ended:true, signal:null` (the worker died during a `stop`/`idle` wait: the registry satisfies only waiters that listed `exit`, then cancels the rest) — both exit 3, checked BEFORE the happy paths in `waitExitCode`. → README "`codeman agent`", `docs/api-reference.md`

 **Agent-created case marker** (`src/agent-case-marker.ts`): a case dir that `POST /api/quick-start` CREATES for an agent-driven spawn (signal: the preamble's `X-Codeman-Agent-Origin` header / `agentOrigin` field, else a resolved `parentSessionId`) gets `.codeman-agent-case.json`, published as `agentCreated` on `GET /api/cases`; `GET /api/cases/agent-created` is the cleanup listing (`inUse`, `modifiedAt`) behind Add Case → Manage. ⚠️ Only the branch that CREATES the directory may write it: never label a linked case, cloned repo or pre-existing path (it drives a recursive delete). ⚠️ Reading is total: anything but a well-formed v1 marker reads as not agent-created. ⚠️ Removal stays on `DELETE /api/cases/:name` (the ONE recursive-delete path), and the sweep excludes `inUse` cases. ⚠️ Changing the preamble's headers requires bumping `CODEMAN_PREAMBLE`. → [architecture-invariants#agent-created-case-marker](docs/architecture-invariants.md#agent-created-case-marker)
