README.zh-CN.md taught a recipe that cannot work: its programmatic-input example had no
trailing `\r`, so Enter was never sent and the prompt sat unsubmitted forever, and its
read step used `/output`, whose `textOutput` is always empty for interactive tmux-backed
sessions. A reader following the Chinese README walked into both of the silent failures
the English one warns about. Its agent/automation section is now brought in line with
README.md: the `\r` rule and every example that needs it, and the correct read path.
CLAUDE.md's "Single-line prompts only" gotcha described the newline restriction but
never mentioned that input must end with `\r` or Enter is never sent, which is the most
common silent failure when driving the API.
docs/agent-control-plan.md asserted as still-open several things that shipped in 1.14.1
and 1.14.2 (the wait endpoints, the packaged skill, the install CLI, agentSkillEnabled).
The status header and the stale bullets now match reality; the historical design content
is untouched, since the document is a record.

Independent post-build review found three gaps, all one family: input that
changes the composer without a prediction leaves the DISPLAYED cursor stale
for one RTT, and anchoring a new run on it painted ghosts one cell off
(blank-neutral, so they lived out the full TTL: "tehh" on
backspace-then-retype, exactly on the links the feature targets).
Fix: the addon now HOLDS new predictions after any such edit (backspace with
nothing outstanding = deleting echoed text, clearPredictions, and now also
IME/plain-paste 'text' commits, which the hook clears like 'clear') until
the next PARSED write releases the hold. The inline predictChar reconcile
deliberately does not count: only the emitter pass or the public
reconcile() is the display-caught-up contract. Worst case is exactly one
unpredicted keystroke, whose own echo releases the hold. Also patched the
one bypass path the PR had missed: _handleCjkInput now clears predictions
like insertTerminalText and the other bypass sends.
Package suite 230, vm gating 85, E2E 10/10 all green after the change.

ci.yml runs the xterm-zerolag-input suite (Layers 1-3) after the root
npm ci (workspaces hoisting; no separate install). CLAUDE.md and
architecture-invariants.md rewrite the codex echo story: predictive
write-through with the wire-neutrality, separate-bundle, composer-gate,
baseY and blank-neutral invariants spelled out; the single-source section
now covers both vendor bundles and why their entry points differ.
Changeset: minor for aicodeman + xterm-zerolag-input.

Reported by @DodgyBadger.
#237: the proxy wrapped each upstream fetch in a 30s `AbortSignal.timeout`, which
bounded the ENTIRE exchange rather than the wait for response headers. A dashboard
endpoint doing model inference, and any actively streaming response, both died at
30s as a generic 502 that Codeman never logged, so it read as an intermittent
network error. The timeout now bounds time-to-headers only and is cleared the
moment headers arrive, so a slow endpoint and a long stream both survive. The
default moves to 300s because "the app is thinking" is normal for the dashboards
people proxy; abandoned upstreams are reclaimed by the client-hangup abort rather
than by this value.
A browser that navigates away mid-request now aborts the upstream fetch, guarded
by `writableFinished` for the same reason as `abortOnClientHangUp` in
session-routes: `close` also fires after a completed response and must not abort
anything. Header timeouts are logged as a warning with a sanitized identity
(method plus origin plus path, never the query string, which can carry the
dashboard's tokens), and a client hangup is deliberately not warned since nobody
is listening and it would read as the dashboard being broken.
The WebSocket handshake keeps its own 30s budget
(`CODEMAN_WEBVIEW_WS_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS`), decoupled from the request timeout:
a handshake is connection establishment, and waiting minutes on one only delays
the browser's reconnect logic.
#238: the web-tab guide covered sandboxed dashboards having no cookies, but not
cookie authentication in front of Codeman itself (Cloudflare Access and similar),
where a sandboxed frame's asset and API requests carry no auth cookie, bounce to
the login provider, and leave the embedded app looking unstyled or broken while
trusted mode works. Documented, and the Test button's result now says it probes
server-to-upstream reachability only, not how the page behaves in a sandboxed
frame.

Ship `skills/codeman` as an installable Claude Code skill rather than a
repo-only reference, and fix six defects found while verifying it live.
Install layer:
- `codeman skill install [--case <name>]` / `codeman skill uninstall`.
Case names resolve through linked-cases.json first, mirroring the
server's resolveCasePath(), so a case linked in from outside
~/codeman-cases no longer fails with "Case not found".
- applyAgentSkill() / installAgentSkillInto() / removeAgentSkillFrom() in
hooks-config.ts. Copies are marker-owned, so an unmarked user-authored
skill is never touched, and a symlinked skill dir is refused (this
repo's own .claude/skills/codeman is a symlink to the source).
- Synced `agentSkillEnabled` setting, default OFF: schemas.ts,
ports/config-port.ts, server.ts, session-routes.ts (add-only injection
on Claude session create and quick-start), plus the App Settings toggle.
Skill content fixes, each reproduced before and after:
- Fail-closed `delete_session` replaces `is_self ... || curl -X DELETE`.
Shell state does not survive between agent tool calls, and an undefined
is_self exited 127, firing the `||` branch and deleting the caller's own
session with the one guard bypassed. The request now lives inside the
guard, so a lost preamble deletes nothing.
- clientId is a fixed literal instead of `agent-$$`. The pid changes per
tool call, so the documented resend-identical-request loop stopped being
a duplicate and retyped the prompt, submitting the turn twice.
- `last-response` is now the documented read path for claude and codex
workers. It returns clean transcript text; the terminal scrape it
replaces returns a wall of TUI repaint noise. Its transcript flush lags
the stop signal, so the recipes poll it rather than reading once.
- quick-start examples branch on `.success`. Previously a failed spawn
yielded the literal session id "null" and burned the whole readiness
budget before reporting jq noise instead of the cause.
- Documented that turning `agentSkillEnabled` off sweeps nothing, and
corrected the hooks-config comment that claimed a toggle-off sweep
exists. Per-case cleanup is `codeman skill uninstall --case <name>`.
- Documented that SESSION_BUSY means the 50-session cap on quick-start,
and that caseName resolves linked cases, so a generic name can land a
worker in a real repo.
Tests: test/agent-skill.test.ts covers install, refresh, idempotence,
marker ownership and symlink refusal against the real packaged source;
test/quick-start.test.ts covers injection behind the setting.

DodgyBadger reported a completely dead wheel in codex tabs (#227 comment)
while the scrollbar drag worked, and the [scroll] line confirmed the
branch: forward-sgr with 967 rows of healthy local scrollback unused.
Measured against codex-cli 0.147.0 in a bare tmux: codex never enables
mouse tracking (mouse_any_flag=0), runs an inline viewport
(alternate_on=0) and pushes its transcript into the terminal's own
scrollback (history_size grows), and SGR wheel reports written to its
pane change nothing at all. Hand-encoded SGR taps are no-ops too, so
they stay (harmless), which means click-to-position is merely
unavailable there rather than damaging.
_shouldForwardWheelToApp now returns true for claude >= 2.1.187 and
nothing else; codex falls to the local-scrollback path like
shell/gemini/opencode, which is the same history the scrollbar drag was
already reaching. The claude-only PageUp fallback is untouched.
Verified in Chromium against a live codex session on an isolated
instance: routing logs local-scrollback, the viewport moves 39 -> 4 and
zero bytes go to the PTY.

Conflict in refreshStaleCodemanHooks resolved by keeping every staleness
trigger: the master-side TLS-flagless curl check (hooks without -k) AND the
PR-side current-wake-marker (V3) + SubagentStop guard marker checks.

Two ways to keep the server running, split by how long it should last.
`codeman web -d` relaunches the same entry script detached (setsid), with
`--stop` and `--status` alongside it. A pidfile and log live in the data
dir. `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. Removing the shell's ability to send one is the fix.
`codeman service install|uninstall|status` writes and loads the systemd
user unit or the LaunchAgent, with the installing shell's PATH baked in
(launchd hands a job /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin, which finds neither a
Homebrew/nvm node nor tmux/claude). install.sh already covers one-liner
installs; this is for npm globals.
Both refuse to start when a server is already up on the data dir, since a
second instance on the shared tmux socket attaches PTYs to the first
one's live sessions. Both poll /api/status until the child answers or
dies rather than reporting a success they have not seen. `--stop` checks
the pid still looks like a Codeman server before signalling it.
The systemd unit name and launchd label move to config/service-names.ts
so install.sh, detectSupervisor() and service install cannot drift into
supervising two copies. Instance-scoped, unchanged for the default
instance.

Two defects in the background-task hook scripts.
SubagentStop had no handler at all. When a subagent launched background work and
one watcher ended while others were still running, Claude could publish the
worker's last progress sentence as its final result, abandoning the live tasks.
A new guard pairs launched task IDs against completed ones and confirms liveness
by scanning /proc/<pid>/fd for an open tasks/<id>.output handle, blocking the
stop only while genuinely-live work remains. It fails open — allowing the stop —
when /proc is unavailable, nothing was launched, or everything finished.
The rewake helper watched only input.transcript_path. A subagent has its own
transcript, but Claude writes the completion queue-operation to the PARENT
transcript, so the record it waited for never appeared and the wake never fired.
It now watches both paths, but only when the relationship is provable: the
transcript's parent directory is subagents/ and its grandparent basename equals
input.session_id. It also now requires operation === 'enqueue'.
The rewake marker moves V2 -> V3; refreshStaleCodemanHooks treats absence of the
current marker as stale, so existing cases self-heal on next launch (the same
mechanism as the V1 -> V2 bump). Ownership matches on marker PREFIXES, so a
future bump still recognises older Codeman handlers and never adopts a user's.
12 tests fail on unmodified master, e.g.
expected '[{"matcher":"Bash",…' to contain 'CODEMAN_BACKGROUND_REWAKE_V3'
expected 'Background command bg-report-1 comple…' to contain '<codeman-background-result>'
The 1.12.0 retest on #205 reported it still broken in two shapes: a wheel that
did nothing at all on Firefox/macOS (while Fn+Up paged back through intact
text), and iPhone history that went back a little, repeated blocks and got
worse the further up it went. Both come from a Claude pane's LOCAL buffer being
hollow: tmux keeps no history for a repaint-mode pane (history_size 0), so
xterm holds only replayed repaint frames.
1. The scroll-to-top full=1 re-pull now refuses a DOWNGRADE. It resets the
terminal and rewrites it from the capture, which is a win when tmux holds
more than the browser, but for a repaint-mode pane that capture is roughly
ONE frame and the rewrite deleted history mid-scroll. Measured A/B on a live
pane, same gesture: guard off collapses 341 rows to 42, guard on preserves
all 341. _replayWouldShrinkBuffer() estimates the capture's rendered rows
(escapes stripped, capture-pane -J re-wrapping accounted for) and skips the
rewrite when it is more than one screen short; a refused session's cooldown
goes from 4s to 60s so a hollow pane stops re-fetching megabytes.
2. A false forwarding gate on a Claude session no longer means a dead gesture.
Under a triple guard (claude mode, gate false, baseY 0), wheel and touch
travel becomes coalesced PageUp/PageDown through the same 40ms queue as the
SGR reports, at half a screen of travel per page key. Shift is excluded: it
keeps meaning "local scrollback".
3. getClaudeCliVersion() no longer caches FAILURE. It stored null on any
exception and guarded on !== undefined, so one timed-out or PATH-starved
probe at the first Claude session start disabled wheel-forwarding for every
Claude session until the server restarted, which fits a report of breakage on
phone, tablet and laptop at once. Success is still cached for the process
lifetime; failures retry with a 1/2/4 up to 15min backoff, and the policy is
a pure function so the semantics are testable without spawning claude.
4. The terminalWheelLocalScrollback footgun is handled by pairing rather than
scoping: the setting keeps meaning exactly what it says, and fix 2 catches
the case where "local" is empty. The App Settings tooltip now says to leave
it off for Claude/Codex sessions.
5. _logScrollRouting() prints one line per session per distinct decision:
forward-sgr / page-keys / local-scrollback / repull-refused-downgrade, with
mode, cliVersion, the opt-out state, mouse tracking and local scrollback
depth. #205 ran two rounds of remote guesswork over questions that line
answers directly.
Verified end to end against a real isolated instance (own data dir and tmux
socket) with real wheel events: forwarding still sends SGR reports, the opt-out
now sends real PageUp/PageDown where the wheel was dead, a tab-switch collapse
(401 rows to 44) is still fully recovered by the re-pull (back to 401), and a
seeded 341-row Claude buffer survives the same gesture that destroys it with the
guard disabled.

Measured on the live instance: xterm's vscode-style viewport scroller
consumes wheel events itself whenever it believes a scrollbar exists
(preventDefault + stopPropagation, attachCustomWheelEventHandler is not
consulted), so Codeman's bubble-phase handler never fired once local
scrollback existed. Forwarding, the deltaMode conversion and the
top-of-buffer history re-pull were all silently dead exactly on the
sessions that had history, which is the 'input box scrolls up then it
fights and hangs' report. Worse, that scroller's dimensions go stale
after terminal.reset(): following a tab switch or full-history replay it
neither scrolls nor propagates, which is the 'works at first, breaks
after reload and tab switch' report.
The container wheel listener now runs in capture phase, stops
propagation, and scrolls locally through buffer-level scrollLines(),
which keeps working after resets. Mouse-tracking sessions and the
alternate buffer (direct-PTY vim/less) are passed through untouched so
xterm's encoder and alt-scroll arrow conversion keep owning those.
Verified end to end against the beta: 9/9 matrix checks including the
exact reported flows (claude wheel with scrollback present stays pinned
and forwards, shell reaches full history by wheel alone, reload then tab
switch then back still works, SSE reconnect survives, Shift+wheel stays
local), plus the two prior E2E suites re-passing 10/10 and 6/6.

Update the full-scrollback replay invariant (per-session full=1 Set plus
the scroll-to-top re-pull), add a new invariants section covering the two
strip flavors and the wheel/touch forwarding rules, sync the CLAUDE.md
Key Patterns bullets, and commit the fix plan with a status header

plus re-pull instead of tmux mouse on; viewport-at-bottom gate dropped).

The CLIs live in one `RUN npm install -g` layer, so rebuilding without
--no-cache re-uses it and freezes them at the versions the image was FIRST
built with. Editing the Dockerfile does not help when the edit lands below
that line: the npm layer stays cached and only the new step runs.
That is not hypothetical. Adding the Antigravity step (which appends below
the npm line) produced a "successful" rebuild that silently kept a stale
@openai/codex@0.144.6 whose aliased platform binary had never installed, so
every codex docker case died with "Missing optional dependency
@openai/codex-linux-x64" while the build reported success. A --no-cache
rebuild fixed codex and also un-froze claude, gemini and opencode.
Documents the failure, makes --no-cache the recommended invocation in both
the guide and the CLAUDE.md quick-reference row, and adds a verify command
that actually executes each CLI, since a zero exit code only proves the
layers ran.
No changeset: docs-only, rides the next release.

The bullet read as a blanket "Codeman has no sandbox", which is wrong and
undersells a headline feature. Two different axes were conflated:
- Integration code cannot be sandboxed by Codeman because Codeman never
launches it. It is the reader's own process, started by them.
- Agent workloads are sandboxed per case via Docker cases, which is the
documented isolation story.
Scopes the claim to integration code and links docs/docker-cases.md, noting
that an integration driving a Docker-backed session inherits that isolation
because it is a property of the session, not the caller.

Adds a pointer to docs/extending-codeman.md at the end of the API section in
README.md and README.zh-CN.md, so the guide is reachable from where people
read about endpoints rather than only from CLAUDE.md.
Reading the README's programmatic guide alongside the new page surfaced three
errors in it, all now fixed:
- POST /api/sessions/:id/input takes `useMux`, not `useScreen`. The latter is
a legacy name that no longer appears in the schema.
- The page told integrators to send `\r` to submit. With `useMux: true` the
server delivers text and Enter as two separate writes (writeViaMux does
send-keys -l then send-keys Enter), so appending `\r` is wrong.
- "Unwrap the envelope" was incomplete: a few legacy GETs put the payload at
the top level, so the advice is now `body.data ?? body`.
Also cross-references the README's programmatic guide, which covers the
in-session case (CODEMAN_MUX, CODEMAN_API_URL, CODEMAN_SESSION_ID,
CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE) that the new page deliberately does not duplicate,
and documents the optional clientId/seq exactly-once fields.

Antigravity (agy) was wired into the session layer but never propagated to
the surfaces around it, while Gemini CLI stayed documented as a consumer
product despite being enterprise-only since Google's cutover. Gemini keeps
full support; Antigravity now sits beside it everywhere.
Functional fixes:
- docker/agent.Dockerfile never installed agy, so a docker case with
mode 'antigravity' died on command-not-found. agy is not on npm, so it
gets its own installer step. --dir /usr/local/bin is load-bearing: the
default $HOME/.local/bin resolves to root's home at build time and is
unreachable by the `agent` user the container runs as. Verified inside
codeman/agent:base (v1.1.10, reachable as `agent`). Note the binary is
~190MB, the largest layer in the image.
- Welcome screen gained a Run Antigravity action, gated on agy being
present like the other CLI buttons, with a cyan identity matching the
toolbar run button and run-mode dot.
- install.sh now detects agy (search paths mirroring the resolver), counts
it as a satisfying AI CLI, and recommends it over Gemini in the install
hints. Detection only, no new auto-install path.
Docs corrected where they were factually wrong:
- architecture-invariants documented isExternalCliMode() as
opencode/codex/gemini when the code has included antigravity for a
while, said "all three modes", and omitted ANTIGRAVITY_ from the env
prefix allowlist row.
- cron-guide's agentType enum, cron-discovery's SessionMode, and
remote-sessions' RemoteCommandMode were all stale.
Also: README + README.zh-CN (five CLIs, Gemini marked enterprise-only),
package.json keyword, and comment drift in 8 places.
test/run-mode-ui.test.ts now covers the new welcome button; verified it
fails without the settings-ui wiring.
Antigravity nests its whole state under ~/.gemini/antigravity-cli/, not
~/.antigravity, so the existing .gemini docker credential seed already
covers it. Recorded as a comment so nobody adds dead config later.
isAltScreenStripMode() deliberately still excludes antigravity: whether
its TUI needs the alt-screen strip is a behavioural question that needs a
real agy session, not a guess.

Codeman has no plugin runtime by design: running third-party code inside
the process that spawns agents, on a server people expose over a tunnel,
would trade away the security posture that is a reason to use it. But it
already has four extension seams that work from any language with nothing
installed, and they were undocumented.
Documents web tabs (render your own UI as a tab), the SSE event channel
(react when an agent needs you), the HTTP API plus the codeman CLI (drive
it from a script), and hook events. Every endpoint, schema field, event
name and header in the page was read from source and then verified against
a running instance, including the localhost-only CORS behavior and the SSE
framing the example depends on.
Also corrects a stale line in CLAUDE.md: it claimed the HTTP/SSE API was
internal/unstable, which contradicts docs/versioning-policy.md, where the
API under /api/v1 was finalized as part of the stable surface for the 1.0
cut. No new stability commitment is made here; the page makes an existing
one discoverable.

Two design/reference docs for the planned native-macOS VM isolation tier
("VM cases"), a location overlay on cases in the same shape as Docker and
remote-SSH cases, never a sixth SessionMode. Nothing is implemented; both
docs are marked PLANNED and are blocked on macOS 27 GA.
- vm-cases-plan.md: the Codeman-side design and phased plan. Swift helper
CLI, DiskImageKit base + per-case overlay, sessions riding the existing
remote-SSH machinery, VirtioFS workspace at the same absolute path, and
seeded credentials, each mirroring an established Docker-cases rule.
- vm-subsystem-apple-stack.md: what the Apple stack actually provides,
measured on the 27 beta rather than inferred from the WWDC session. Of
note: the 2-concurrent-macOS-VM cap is a kernel quota (refused at 39%
free RAM, so more hardware does not help), DiskImageKit has no flatten
API so exports must ship the layer chain, and a macOS guest renders
nothing without an attached view in an unlocked host session.
No credentials, hostnames, tailnet addresses or account names in either
file; every host/guest reference is a placeholder.
Also joins a table row that a stray blank line had split off into its own
malformed table.

Closes#212. The file-preview overlay can now edit workspace text files in
place, phone-first: agent writes a file, you review it in the viewer, tweak
two lines, save, tell the agent to continue.
Backend (file-routes.ts, policy in src/config/file-editing.ts):
- GET file-content?edit=1: read-for-edit that never truncates (a truncated
buffer must never become an edit buffer), 512KB cap (413 over it), and
returns the sha256 hash + detected EOL the client echoes back on save.
- PUT /api/sessions/:id/file-content: edit-in-place only, with no O_CREAT
anywhere in the handler. Confinement matches the read path (realpath +
workspace boundary + ownership via findSessionOrFail), plus sensitive-path
and attachment-guard blocklists, a .git subtree deny, and an extension
allowlist (svg and env deliberately excluded). Optimistic concurrency via
baseHash: mismatch is a 409 unless force. Writes are wx-temp + fchmod +
fsync + rename, closing the validate-then-write TOCTOU window.
- Corruption guards: NUL sniff + UTF-8 round-trip compare (refuses binary
and latin-1), and server-side EOL re-application so a textarea's LF
normalization cannot rewrite every line of a CRLF file.
- Plain reads gain an additive editable flag the UI keys the button off.
Frontend (panels-ui.js + overlay markup/styles):
- Edit button on editable text previews; textarea editor with Save/Cancel,
dirty indicator, discard-confirm on cancel/close, and a conflict dialog
that offers overwrite (force) when the file changed on disk mid-edit.
- Phone: full-bleed window sized by --app-height so the editor and Save bar
track the OS keyboard; 16px editor font (iOS zoom guard); no autofocus.
- zh-CN strings for the new chrome.
Tests: pure policy unit tests plus a route suite that deliberately does NOT
mock node:fs. It runs against a real temp workspace so symlink escapes,
write-through of in-workspace symlinks, mode preservation, CRLF round-trip,
409/force, and the no-create property are exercised for real. Also verified
end to end on an isolated beta instance: 39-check curl matrix, Playwright
desktop flow (real clicks and typing, bytes asserted on disk, live conflict
with an external rewrite), and a 393px phone profile.

Closes#211. Copying from the terminal only worked through the browser
context menu, because xterm turns Ctrl+C into 0x03 and cancels the keydown,
so the muscle-memory copy failed silently and read as "no copy-paste at all".
With a selection, Ctrl+C now copies it, toasts, clears the selection and
sends nothing to the PTY. With no selection it falls through unchanged, so
the interrupt is intact. Ctrl+Shift+C is an explicit copy chord that never
falls through: an explicit copy that interrupts a running agent because the
selection happened to be empty would be a footgun.
Three details that keep the interrupt safe:
- The decision lives in attachCustomKeyEventHandler (terminal-ui.js) and the
no-selection path returns true WITHOUT preventDefault. xterm calls the
custom handler before its own cancel(), so returning false alone does not
cancel the event; the copy path therefore calls preventDefault explicitly,
or the browser would run its native copy on top of ours.
- copy-selection is a full registry entry (rebindable and disableable in App
Settings) whose action is deliberately absent from SHORTCUT_ACTIONS, the
same trick command-palette uses: the generic capture loop preventDefaults
every match it dispatches, which would cost the user the interrupt key.
- The gate is keydown-only, since the custom handler also runs for keypress
and keyup.
Copy goes through _copyText (Clipboard API, then hidden-textarea +
execCommand) rather than raw navigator.clipboard, because install.sh's LAN
option serves plain HTTP where navigator.clipboard is undefined; the
fallback steals focus, so the terminal is refocused afterwards.
Tests: test/terminal-copy-selection.test.ts pins the gate and the
SHORTCUT_ACTIONS invariant; test/terminal-copy-shortcut.test.ts drives real
key presses in chromium and asserts on the clipboard plus the bytes xterm
emitted (browser-driven, so excluded from test:ci like the other Playwright
suites). Verified manually on an isolated beta instance before landing.

Release 1.9.8 (aicodeman) and 0.1.8 (xterm-zerolag-input).
Fixes macOS session start (`posix_spawnp failed.`, issues #6 and #204):
node-pty ships its macOS spawn-helper as mode 0644 and macOS launches every
PTY through it. `scripts/fix-node-pty.mjs` (npm run fix:node-pty) chmods every
helper, prebuilds/ included, then verifies by really opening a PTY; the blind
Node-22+ rebuild is gone. `spawnPtyWithHelperRepair()` self-heals an already
broken install on the first failed spawn.
Adds the phone home screen (session overview under 430px, per-device
`mobileOverviewEnabled`, default ON) and a guided Tailscale path in
install.sh, plus `install.sh tailscale` to retrofit it.

start() reassigns _claudeSessionId to `resumeSessionId || id` on every launch,
including the path that re-attaches to a mux session that outlived the restart.
A pane whose CLI had moved on via /clear therefore came back pointing the
response viewer at its pre-/clear transcript, and because Session.lastSubmitAt
lived only in memory, the history correlation had nothing to correct it with
until the user happened to type again — observed as hours of the eye showing a
conversation the pane had long since left.
Persist lastSubmitAt in SessionState, restore it in restoreMuxSessions(), and
flush it when the viewer adopts (a /clear emits no completion event, which is
the trigger that would otherwise have persisted it). Recovered panes now
re-derive their live conversation on the viewer's first poll.
Restoring a stale anchor is safe: the resolver already refuses a candidate
transcript older than the one the pane is currently on, which is the shape of a
respawn into a fresh conversation.
The viewer re-derived a pane's live conversation from the newest
~/.claude/history.jsonl entry for the pane's cwd. A cwd is shared with every
other Codeman tab on it, with tabs long since closed, and with any plain
`claude` the user runs in their own terminal, so the eye followed whichever of
those was typed into last — and since the match was written back through
adoptClaudeSessionId(), the mispin stuck.
Credit a history entry to a pane only when it lands within 10s of that pane's
own Enter and no other pane on the same cwd submitted closer, reusing the
last-submit correlation the Codex locator already relies on. Submit tracking
moves from _codexLastSubmitAt to a mode-agnostic Session.lastSubmitAt. With no
correlated entry the pane keeps the id it has: a viewer one turn behind beats a
viewer showing someone else's conversation.

Plan-usage chip defaults ON on desktop (handhelds stay OFF), resolved
through a single planUsageChipEnabled() helper so the checkbox, the chip
and the create-time statusLineTelemetry flag cannot disagree. Correct the
stale "Cron button defaults ON" comment (it is OFF in code, template and
CSS) and the styles.css comment claiming the server strips the chip's
hidden class.

Only CLAUDE.md conflicted: master restructured it into the short-rule +
docs/architecture-invariants.md pointer layout while this PR was open.
The response-viewer detail now lives in architecture-invariants, so the
Claude turn-grouping and restored-placeholder rebind notes moved there.
Changeset rewritten to record the measured effect on real transcripts.
- One compact Mobile-Optimized Web UI section: the two current screenshots
(mobile-session-keyboard, mobile-toolbar-enter) side by side, comparison
table, condensed feature bullets, then QR auth
- Drop the outdated black-background phone screenshots
(mobile-landing-qr.png, mobile-session-active.png)
- Same restructure in README.zh-CN.md

Both picker endpoints are a second file-serving surface, and they
inherited neither the attachment guard's confinement nor its ownership
scoping. Two separate holes:
1. `sessionId` contributes that session's workingDir as a browse root,
but it was resolved straight off ctx.sessions/ctx.store with no owner
check, unlike the nine other session-scoped handlers in this file. A
non-admin could pin ANOTHER user's working directory as a root just
by passing their session id, then list and preview underneath it. Now
runs canAccessOwned and reports 404, which also avoids confirming
that a session id exists.
2. `Home` and `CASES_DIR` were unconditional roots for every caller.
Per-user spaces live at <USER_SPACES_DIR>/<username>, which is INSIDE
homedir(), so the Home root alone exposed every other user's
workspace. A multi-user non-admin now gets only their own
userSpacePath plus anything explicitly listed in
CODEMAN_FILE_PICKER_ROOTS. /mnt/d is dropped as well: a broad host
mount should be an explicit operator decision in a multi-user
deployment, and operators who want it can name it in that env var.
Admins and single-user mode keep the host-wide roots, so behavior is
unchanged unless CODEMAN_MULTIUSER is on (opt-in, off by default).
All three discriminating tests were verified to fail against the
previous code: browse and preview both returned 200 instead of 404, and
the roots came back as [Home, Codeman Cases, ...] instead of [My Space].
Full suite green, 3784 passed.

Only CLAUDE.md conflicted: master restructured it into the short-rule +
docs/architecture-invariants.md pointer layout while this PR was open.
Route counts reconciled against master's numbering (files 14 -> 16 for
the two new filesystem endpoints, total ~197 -> ~199) and the path
picker's detail moved into architecture-invariants under its own
section.
Both were unreferenced by either README and are now kept in Ark0N/gittrend
under assets/codeman-demos, alongside the source recordings they were cut from.
As with the GIF removal, this does not shrink the repository: the blobs remain
in history and only new checkouts stop carrying them.

Neither README references it: both switched to the dated
subagent-demo-20260724.gif in 8e9f254, which kept this file only so external
hotlinks would keep resolving. Removing it now at the maintainer's request.
Note this does NOT shrink the repository. The blob stays in history, so clone
size is unchanged; only new checkouts stop carrying the 29MB file. Actually
reclaiming the space needs a history rewrite, which would invalidate every
existing clone and is a separate decision.
The three capture scripts that write docs/images/subagent-demo.gif are
unaffected: they create the file, they do not read it.

Adds a "Web / URL" section to the Run dropdown. A saved URL renders as a tab in
the same strip as Claude/Codex/Gemini sessions, with the same Alt+1..9 numbering,
so Codeman is one mission control instead of Codeman plus a pile of browser tabs.
A webview is NOT a sixth SessionMode: no PTY, no tmux, no respawn, no idle
detection. It is a separate resource sharing only the tab strip and the main
content area, the same call that keeps Docker and remote-SSH as case overlays.
Dashboards are proxied through Codeman's own origin, because a direct iframe
fails three ways at once in the shipped deployment: prod serves HTTPS behind
tailscale serve, so http:// targets are hard-blocked as mixed content (with no
override at all on iOS Safari); Grafana/Portainer-class dashboards send
X-Frame-Options: DENY; and our own default-src 'self' CSP blocks cross-origin
frames. Proxying dissolves all three and leaves the production CSP byte-for-byte
unchanged, since /webview/... is already covered by 'self'. A useful side effect:
the fetch happens server-side, so a tailnet-only dashboard is reachable from a
phone that is not on the tailnet.
The proxy is not an API surface. It authenticates on a 192-bit capability in the
path (memory-only, rolling TTL, bound to the minting user, revoked on edit or
delete) and is correspondingly exempt from the cookie and Origin checks, because
a sandboxed iframe is opaque-origin: it sends no SameSite=lax cookie and its
writes arrive with Origin: null. The Host allowlist is never bypassed. A second
Referer-keyed form of the exemption exists for root-absolute assets and is fenced
to safe methods on non-/api, non-/ws, non-/q paths.
Iframes omit allow-same-origin unless a URL is explicitly marked trusted, since a
proxied page is served from Codeman's own origin and could otherwise read this
document and drive the agent-spawning API. Authorization and codeman_session are
stripped upstream in BOTH modes, so CODEMAN_PASSWORD cannot leak into a dashboard.
Two things only a real browser reveals, both presenting as the dashboard's own
"Failed to fetch" while the page itself renders fine:
- Runtime-built root-absolute URLs (fetch('/api/data')) escape <base href> and
land on Codeman's root. Widening the Referer fallback into /api would trade
security for it, so an injected shim patches fetch/XHR/WebSocket/EventSource
inside the frame instead, removing the class rather than the guard.
- An opaque-origin document CORS-checks every request, including to the host it
was served from. Script/css/img loads are not CORS-checked, which is why the
page renders while its API calls die. The proxy now emits CORS headers and
answers preflights itself. registerSecurityHeaders answered every OPTIONS with
a bare 204 before routing, carrying no ACAO for Origin: null, so that
short-circuit now exempts a valid capability.
Neither is reproducible with curl, which does not enforce CORS.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug found on the way: .toolbar has backdrop-filter,
making it a stacking context that trapped .run-mode-menu's z-index:1000, so
.welcome-overlay painted over the whole Run menu. With no session open, every
item in it (Claude Code included) was unclickable.
Verified end to end against a real tailnet dashboard: live data, WebSocket push,
no failed requests, and switching tabs does not reload the frame. 98 new tests
cover the pure rewrite helpers, the CORS helper, the shim's rewrite logic, route
CRUD, and every edge of the auth exemption.

Trims the repo root listing so the README is reached with less scrolling.
Only these two were movable; the other five root .md files are load-bearing
and stay put:
- README.md / README.zh-CN.md — the landing page and the language-switcher
entry point
- CLAUDE.md — Claude Code loads project instructions from the ROOT path;
moving it silently breaks every future session in this repo
- AGENTS.md — the agent-convention file Codex reads from the root and injects
as context (see the comments in session-routes.ts)
- CHANGELOG.md — the changesets default writer emits it next to package.json,
so moving it breaks `npm run version-packages`
GitHub officially resolves .github/SECURITY.md, so the Security policy tab
keeps working. Inbound links updated in both READMEs, CLAUDE.md and
docs/versioning-policy.md. CHANGELOG.md also names SECURITY.md but is left
alone: it is a historical record, not a live reference.
The move broke a link the other direction too: SECURITY.md pointed at
docs/security-architecture.md, which from .github/ resolved to
.github/docs/... — repointed to ../docs/. All relative links in the six
touched files verified resolving (62 links, 0 broken).

Two captures from an actual phone, replacing the placeholder-ish shots:
- Mobile table, middle cell: the full-height capture with the keyboard open,
showing the accessory bar and the new Enter button while answering a plan
prompt. Supersedes mobile-session-question-20260727.png from this morning,
which showed the pre-Enter toolbar.
- Touch-Optimized Interface: the cropped toolbar capture as a standalone
560px figure, where a near-square crop reads better than it would squeezed
into a 260px table cell.
Picking the tall capture for the table also fixes a row the earlier square
shot had left lopsided: the three cells now render 473 / 482 / 469px tall
instead of 473 / 263 / 469.
Adds a "Dedicated Enter button" bullet documenting the behaviour, including
why it replays the keypress (local-echo flush) rather than sending a bare
carriage return, and that shell launching moved into the Run dropdown.
Both READMEs updated so EN and zh-CN stay in sync.

Replaces the middle cell of the Mobile-Optimized Web UI table in both
READMEs. The new shot shows an agent's multiple-choice prompt being answered
on a phone, with the touch accessory bar and bottom toolbar visible, which
demonstrates more of the mobile UI than the old idle-session capture.
Uses a dated filename per the convention the other 2026-07 images follow.
That also avoids GitHub's image cache serving the old picture, which an
in-place overwrite of mobile-session-idle.png would have risked. The old
file is left on disk so any existing external link to it keeps working.
