turn that never started. Verified live; this is the most common silent failure on
this endpoint.
A **plain prompt** (printable text followed by exactly one `\r`, nothing else) is
delivered through tmux even without `useMux`: the text is typed, Enter is pressed as
a separate key, and the server re-presses Enter while the prompt is still visibly
sitting on the composer. Written straight into the pane in one piece, a prompt of
about a hundred characters or more is taken as a paste by Claude Code, its `\r`
becomes a newline, and the prompt stays unsent (measured on 2.1.283). Any other
input (escape sequences, a bracketed-paste frame, a line feed, a bare `\r`) keeps
the raw write, and an explicit `"useMux": false` forces it.

### Regexes that come from config
Three capability fields carry a regular expression an override file can set: `discovery.version.regex`, `capabilities.workDetect.workingLine` and `capabilities.workDetect.watchingLine`. All three go through `compileVersionRegex()`, which caps the source at 200 characters, refuses the nested-quantifier shapes that cause catastrophic backtracking, and returns `null` rather than throwing so every caller degrades instead of crashing.
Four capability fields carry a regular expression an override file can set: `discovery.version.regex`, `capabilities.workDetect.workingLine`, `capabilities.workDetect.watchingLine` and `capabilities.workDetect.awaitingLine`. All four go through `compileVersionRegex()`, which caps the source at 200 characters, refuses the nested-quantifier shapes that cause catastrophic backtracking, and returns `null` rather than throwing so every caller degrades instead of crashing.
`workingLine` is the one that matters most, because it is compiled once per session and then run against every accumulated PTY chunk and every pane capture. A nested quantifier there is a ReDoS against the event loop for the whole server, not just that session. The guard therefore runs in two places, and neither is redundant: `schema.ts` rejects the entry at LOAD time so a bad pattern never reaches a session, and `_workingLinePattern()` in `session.ts` compiles through the same helper so the runtime cannot end up with a pattern the schema would have refused.

`awaitingLine` covers the quiet pane that is neither idle nor watching: a turn that ENDED
to wait for workers the CLI will resume from by itself. When background agents or an
ultracode workflow are still running at turn end, Claude closes the turn with
`✻ Waiting for 1 dynamic workflow to finish` instead of `✻ Brewed for 1m 18s`, and a pane
showing that row counts as working. ⚠️ Claude renders the row once and never redraws it, so
the words are still on screen after the workers report back and the follow-up turn ends.
The pattern is therefore never run over the whole pane: `isAwaitingWorkers()`
(`session-activity.ts`) walks up from the composer past blank, framed and indented rows and
tests only the first row that starts in column 0, which is the newest transcript row. Claude
starts its own rows in column 0 and the agent's prose never does, so the anchor also keeps an
agent from holding its own session busy.
That label is the one value in the registry that an AGENT can influence, because it comes off
the agent's own screen. Two things keep it honest, and both belong to whoever adds a pattern

The image can also carry the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and the Azure CLI (`az` + the `azure-devops` extension, in `AZURE_EXTENSION_DIR=/opt/az-extensions` so it stays out of the seeded HOME), wired into the system git config as credential helpers for github.com and dev.azure.com / *.visualstudio.com, exactly as in `docker/server.Dockerfile`. Their sign-ins are seeded per-FILE like pi's: `~/.config/gh/{hosts.yml,config.yml}` and `~/.azure/{azureProfile.json,msal_token_cache.json,service_principal_entries.json,clouds.config,config}`, never `~/.azure`'s logs, command index or extensions. A token kept in a desktop keyring, or in the encrypted MSAL cache az uses on Windows/macOS, is not in those files and does not carry. None of the three is version-pinned; the `--no-cache` rebuild recommended above is also what refreshes them. Both CLIs are opt-in and OFF by default: `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_INSTALL_GH=1` / `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_INSTALL_AZ=1` in the environment of `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs`, or of the Codeman server for its own auto-build (in the Compose deployment, `environment:` in `docker-compose.override.yml`), become the `CODEMAN_INSTALL_GH` / `CODEMAN_INSTALL_AZ` build args and put that CLI, its extension and its helper entry into the image. Unset passes nothing, so a default build's argv is unchanged and the image has neither. The sign-in seeds follow the same switches, read when a case container is created: `.config/gh` only with `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_INSTALL_GH=1`, `.azure` only with `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_INSTALL_AZ=1` (`enabledByEnv` in `CRED_STORES`), never merely because the files exist. Seeds are create-time mounts and deliberately not part of the config hash (hashing them would trip the drift gate for every case), so an existing case container picks them up only when it is recreated.
Set `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_GIT_USER_NAME` and `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_GIT_USER_EMAIL` together to configure the agent image's Git identity. Rebuild an existing `codeman/agent:base` with `node scripts/build-agent-image.mjs --no-cache`, then recreate Docker-case containers so they use the rebuilt image.
## Quickest path: one-click "Run in Docker"
On the **New case → Create New** tab there's a **🐳 Run in an isolated Docker container** checkbox. Checking it alone is enough: Codeman creates the case folder in `~/codeman-cases/<name>`, spins up a hardened container with sensible defaults (auto-provisioning a shared `default` host), and starts the session inside it. No host/image/network fields to fill in.

The image includes Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode. Authenticate a CLI from its Codeman session; credentials are never baked into the image.
CLIs installed from **App Settings → Agents & CLIs → CLI management** (DeepSeek Harness, Pi, and the other npm-based ones) go to `~/.local` on the `CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH` mount, so they survive an image rebuild and a container recreate. Releases up to 1.33.1 installed them into the image instead, so a CLI installed from Settings on one of those has to be installed again once after the rebuild. The same applies to a hand-run `npm install -g` inside a session: it writes to the image prefix (`/opt/codeman-cli`) and is lost on the next rebuild, so use `npm install -g --prefix ~/.local <package>` instead.
It can also include the GitHub CLI (`gh`) and the Azure CLI (`az`) with the `azure-devops` extension, wired in as Git credential helpers, so Clone Repo and `git clone` reach private GitHub and Azure DevOps repositories once they are signed in. Both are off by default; [Turning them on](../docker/README.md#turning-them-on) shows the `docker-compose.override.yml` settings.

### Opening a session from your own page
To send someone from your page to one session, link to the dashboard with the
session id in the fragment, as in `http://127.0.0.1:3000/#session=<id>`. The
dashboard selects that tab when it loads. It also removes the fragment from its
own URL, so a later link to the same session still counts as a change.
Keep reusing one named window to make later links fast:
```js
window.open(`${codeman}/#session=${encodeURIComponent(id)}`, 'codeman');
```
When that window already shows the dashboard, only the fragment differs. The
browser therefore keeps the page loaded, and the dashboard switches tabs without
reloading it. A session the window has shown before appears at once. A session
your page has only just created may not be listed yet, so the dashboard waits
for its `session:created` event and selects it then. That wait lasts at most 30
seconds: a link whose session never appears (a closed session, a typo, or in
multi-user mode another user's session) is dropped with a "Session not found"
notice. Clicking another tab, going Home or opening a web tab also ends the
wait, so a session that turns up later never takes the screen from the person.
When your page holds the window reference (`const win = window.open(...)`),
prefer `win.location.replace(url)` for later links: it still fires `hashchange`
without a reload, but adds no history entry, so Back in the dashboard window
does not turn into a silent no-op.
Following a link does not count as someone looking at the session, so it
leaves the session's idle alert in place. The alert clears when the person
clicks the tab or types into the session. A link to a session that is popped
out into its own window asks that window to come forward, as clicking its tab does.
A link to `/session/<id>` opens a page showing that session alone, and that
page loads from scratch for every link.
