Bold text on the theme's default foreground carries exactly ONE cue, the
weight step. Claude Code marks its markdown bold with a bare ESC[1m and
changes no colour, and xterm substitutes a bright colour for bold only
when the foreground is a palette index 0-7, so the substitution never
fires for default-foreground text. A family shipping only a regular and
a bold face keeps that step small (measured on Consolas: glyph ink rises
from 14.25% to 16.57%), and picking a different family does not help,
because 400 stays 400 whatever the family. Lowering the NORMAL weight is
the only way to widen the gap.
Two per-device settings beside "Terminal font" in the Font group, each
defaulting to xterm's own value for its slot, so an untouched install
renders exactly as it did before. Both thread into the main terminal and
the Agent Teams panes, and apply on save without a reload.
The bundled face had to be unclamped in the same change or the settings
would look broken on a stock install. fonts/jetbrains-mono-variable.woff2
carries a wght axis of 100 to 800, but styles.css declared the face
`400 700`, and the descriptor is what the browser synthesizes from: at
that range 100, 200 and 300 rendered identically to 400 and 800
identically to 700 (measured in headless Chromium, both directions).
The two families ahead of it in the default stack, Fira Code and Cascadia
Code, exist only if the user installed them, so for most installs
"normal = 300" would have been a no-op. Declared `100 800`, every step is
distinct: 61%, 77% and 90% of the ink at 400, and 800 adds ~14% over 700.
Nothing in the stylesheets asks for a monospace weight outside 400-700,
so widening it changes nothing that rendered before.
Details that are easy to get wrong and are pinned by tests:
- Each slot falls back to its OWN xterm default, so an unset bold weight
can never inherit `normal` and become a visible change.
- A live save refreshes both echo overlays. They cache
terminal.options.fontWeight and paint it into their spans, so without
it the characters being typed keep the old weight while the rest of the
screen changes. Most visible on a phone, where local echo is on by
default.
- A live save reaches open Agent Teams panes, which read their options at
construction, exactly as applyTerminalSkin() propagates its own.
- A stored weight the picker does not list (a hand-set 350) is added to
the select rather than dropped, so merely opening App Settings cannot
reset it.
- _awaitTerminalFont() is untouched. CharSizeService measures through the
CSS `font` shorthand, which resets the weight, so the measured face is
always the 400 one and a weighted descriptor would request nothing new.
Verified end to end in a headless browser against a live server: the save
reaches the running terminal with no reload, the settings PUT stays 200
(both keys are display keys and are stripped before it, since
SettingsUpdateSchema is strict), the value survives a reload, and the
painted terminal really changes weight with the bundled font (lit-pixel
ink 0.83 / 0.95 / 1.00 / 1.13 / 1.21 at 100 / 300 / default / 700 / 800).

buildClaudeEnv(), the direct-PTY fallback taken when mux creation fails, now
reads getCli('claude').env and applies its unset and exports lists. It used to
delete COLORTERM and CLAUDECODE from a hand-maintained list of its own, which
left it contradicting the registry entry that the tmux pane and the attach
client both read. An engine value needing a mux name has nothing to resolve
against on this path, so it is skipped rather than guessed.
Claude no longer unsets NO_COLOR. The invisible-background bug does not need
it, and unsetting it overrides a preference the user set deliberately, so a
user who exports NO_COLOR globally keeps monochrome panes. The other seven
truecolor CLIs still unset it; that inconsistency is intentional and the
comment on the entry says so.
The invariants doc gains a Terminal colour env paragraph under Session launch
modes, where a reader looking up Claude will find it — the previous sentence
sat under a heading that lists only the non-Claude CLIs. It now says the lists
are the stock catalog and a clis.json override replaces them wholesale, and
that the declarations reach the tmux pane, its attach client and the direct
PTY but not a remote pane, whose command carries no env exports at all. Docker
hands COLORTERM=truecolor to every mode, including the two the registry says
must unset it.
The changeset named six peer CLIs and there are seven: deepseek also exports
truecolor. A test beside the existing OpenCode assertion pins the new
behaviour, so a future registry edit cannot make the backgrounds vanish again
in silence.

A Fable 5.1 reviewer read the whole release diff against 1.26.2 and returned
SHIP WITH FIXES. These are its findings, verified before acting on each.
**The changelog advertised a feature the code refuses (major).** The #401
changeset and docs/web-tabs.md both listed `*.localhost` in the loopback set.
The follow-up in 02b0e278 moved it out of the auto-route set on security
grounds and updated CLAUDE.md but neither of those, and that changeset becomes
the 1.27.0 CHANGELOG entry: a user would have read the release notes, tapped
`http://app.localhost:3000/` on a phone and got a connection error from a
documented feature. Both corrected, and the user guide now says why it is
excluded and that adding such a dashboard by hand still works.
**Dictation delivered its text twice (minor, #388).** `keydownSnapshot` started
`null`, so `keydownSnapshot ?? canonicalCount` at the input event read a counter
xterm had ALREADY bumped: on a fresh page load with no keydown yet, xterm's own
capture listener forwards the `insertText` itself (it is not gated behind a
keydown), then the snapshot equals the bumped count, `count > snapshot` is
false, and the controller emits the same text again. Reproduced directly
against the module: it emitted `hello` for input xterm had already delivered.
A `0` baseline restores that file's own invariant, that a missed recovery is
acceptable and a duplicated keystroke is not. Two regression tests, covering
both the xterm-already-delivered and genuinely-dropped halves.
**The sorted rail's arrow-key walk followed the DOM (minor).** `_tabKeydownHandler`
steps `querySelectorAll` order, which is `sessionOrder`, while a sorted rail
paints its rows with the flex `order` property, so ArrowDown from the top card
landed wherever that session happened to sit in the tab order. It now sorts its
node list by the COMPUTED order first: computed rather than inline, because web
tabs take their `order: 9999` from CSS and would otherwise read as 0 and lead
the walk. This is the one place that follows the paint; the Alt+N badge, the
drag model and the filter all still deliberately read the DOM.
**A trusted dashboard was auto-reused by a tapped link (minor, #401).** The
reuse loop skipped `managed` and direct-mode records but not `trusted`. A
trusted frame is mounted with `allow-same-origin`, i.e. on Codeman's origin
with the user's cookie, and these links come from agent output, which is the
threat model the loopback allowlist was just narrowed for. An agent that can
write into the dev server's tree could print a path that one tap opens inside
that privileged frame. Excluded from auto-reuse, with a test; opening it from
the Run dropdown is still an explicit action and unchanged.
**Two documentation claims that were no longer true.** CLAUDE.md said
test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts pins every remote pane command, but
remote claude and remote omp now have their own arm in `buildRemoteLaunchCommand`
and never reach `defaultRemoteCommandForMode`, which is what that test asserts,
so it pins nothing for them and changing either arm will not fail it. Named the
real pins instead. Also documented the arrow-key-walk exception in the rail
paragraph.
Left as follow-ups, deliberately: `POST /api/webviews` does not dedupe by URL
server-side, so two devices tapping one link concurrently can still save two
dashboards for one origin (pre-existing endpoint behaviour that #401 makes
reachable by a tap), and the location-overlay golden should assert the real
remote claude/omp commands rather than a branch neither reaches.
Full gate green: 359 files, 6869 tests.

The vertical rail lists exactly the sessions both home screens list, so it now
answers their question the same way instead of showing the raw tab order.
Order: new per-device `tabRailSort` (App Settings -> Appearance -> Tabs ->
Vertical Rail Order, default "By activity"). It runs `CodemanSessionOrder` over
rows classified by `_mobileOverviewState`, i.e. literally the home screens'
comparator, `lastSubmitAt`-anchored running group included.
It is applied as the flex `order` property, never by reordering the DOM.
`#sessionTabs` stays in `sessionOrder`, which is what keeps the Alt+N badge
honest (it names a shortcut, not a row position, so it deliberately does NOT
run 1,2,3 down a sorted rail), and keeps drag-and-drop, the arrow-key walk, the
sidebar filter and `_scrollActiveTabIntoView()` all reading the list they
always read. A session changing state then moves one inline style instead of
forcing the full rebuild that would restart every card's animation on every SSE
tick. The incremental render path re-applies it, since a state flip adds no tab
and never reaches the full rebuild, and an empty string is what clears it when
sorting stops. Web tabs are pinned past the cards by a CSS `order: 9999`, since
`renderWebviewTabs()` emits the same markup for every layout and the flex
default of 0 would interleave them. Drag is switched off while sorting (the
drop rewrites `sessionOrder` correctly and the sort puts the card straight
back, so the affordance would be a lie); 'manual' is the way back.
Cards: detailed rail rows become bordered cards on `--bg-card`, with the stamps
line on its own full-width row and the pill at its right end. The state dot
goes 6px to 9px, keeps its orbiting ring while working and gains the green
halo; idle mutes toward `--text-muted` as the home rail does. Needs/error/
waiting reuse `home-sessions-blink-red`/`-yellow` rather than a second copy.
These card rules are RAIL-SCOPED and deliberately absent from the comma-grouped
selectors that carry both vertical surfaces: the rail is an occasional,
resizable list you scan, while the sidebar is a permanently-docked nav column
where 20 stacked cards read as a wall. Every state-dot rule also excludes
`.tab-alert-action`/`.tab-alert-idle` by hand, because those alert rules are
only (0,3,0) and these are (0,5,1)+.
Lines: the lineage bracket already drew in the rail, but its track sat 6px from
the left edge, so half of its 11px outer glow was clipped by the window frame
and it read as a thread pinned to the frame. It now runs at 10px, mid-channel
in the gutter the rail already reserves.
Tests: test/tab-rail-order.test.ts (17) drives the real `isTabRailSorted()` and
`_tabRailSortOrder()` out of app.js, covering the row model (a WORKING row
ranked by `lastSubmitAt`, which would otherwise rank every running turn as
freshly started and fail no rendering test), the Alt+N badge, and the opt-out.
Verified in Chromium across sorted/manual/simple/header-strip/sidebar with the
setting flipped at runtime: no page errors, and the header strip and sidebar
render byte-identically to before.

Each item is from the pre-merge review of the PR it names, applied on master
rather than by pushing to a contributor branch.
#400 (response viewer, shenlvkang-collab)
- The brief view opened at `scrollTop = 0`, right when it was a single card
holding the last row. Now that it renders the whole turn, the top is the
turn's first narration line and the answer can be screens below it, while
loadFullContext already scrolls to the bottom of the same turn. A multi-row
turn now opens at its newest text; a single card still opens at the top.
#401 (loopback links as web tabs, shenlvkang-collab)
- Drop `*.localhost` from the auto-route set. Every other member is an address
literal that can only mean this box; a `*.localhost` DNS name is not one, and
a resolver with a search domain retries `evil.localhost` as
`evil.localhost.<search domain>`. The link source is agent-written terminal
output, so that set is the whole confinement on a tap that makes Codeman
fetch a URL server-side and persist it. The page-side test stays broader
(`isOnBoxHostname`), where a false positive only declines to proxy.
- A link to the origin root navigated nothing: the path was flattened to '',
which openWebview reads as "no deep link", leaving an open frame where it was.
- `this.webviews` being set does not mean it is loaded. initWebviews() assigns a
truthy empty map and only then awaits the list, so a tap during page load
found nothing to reuse and POSTed a duplicate record. Join the in-flight
refresh instead.
- One dashboard per dev server rather than per host spelling, which is what the
method's own comment already promised.
- Toast on the auto-create: it writes webviews.json, broadcasts over SSE and
adds a Run-dropdown row on every signed-in device, with a new tab as its only
previous signal.
#362 (remote omp continuation, timkjr)
- Accept the allowlisted `mode === 'omp'` arm as-is; a blanket registry render
would hand deepseek a locally-resolved --profile and bypass claude's own
overlay. A registry-declared switch is the follow-up if a third mode needs it.
- Revert the whole-file Prettier reformat of docs/remote-sessions.md (docs/ is
hand-formatted and outside `npm run format`), keeping only the two new
sections.
- Correct three stale passages: architecture-invariants' `exec claude
--dangerously-skip-permissions`, the `exec <cli>` paragraph (claude and omp
now have their own arms, and the claude pane's PID is the login shell), and
omp-integration's `-c 'omp'`. RemoteCommandMode gains deepseek and omp.
- Add the missing `_maybeCaptureOmpSessionId` remote-guard test; the sibling
guard in `_pinOmpRespawnId` had one and this path runs earlier, on the first
idle turn.
#388 (keyCode 229 recovery, aakhter)
- Gate notifyCanonicalData on shouldSuppressTerminalQueryResponse and
isTerminalFocusOrMouseReport. onData also carries the DA/DSR/CPR/OSC replies
xterm answers during Ink redraws and its SGR mouse and focus reports; any of
those landing between the keydown and the candidate's resolution was read as
"xterm spoke for this keystroke", standing the recovery down and leaving the
character dropped, worst on a busy agent pane. Reached through
window.CodemanTerminalInput: the predicates live in a module IIFE that closes
long before this call site, so bare references would throw into the
surrounding try/catch and stop the notify from ever running.
Every fix has a test that fails without it (verified by reverting each).
Full gate green on the combined tree: 358 files, 6849 tests.

An agent prints `http://localhost:5173/` (a dev server, a preview it just
served) and the user taps it on a phone. That address only exists on the
Codeman box, so the link was a guaranteed connection error from any other
device — while the web-tab proxy fetches from the server, where it works.
A loopback link (`localhost`, `*.localhost`, 127/8, 0.0.0.0, ::1) activated
in the terminal or clicked in the Response Viewer now opens as a proxied
web tab whenever the Codeman page itself is not on that box. A saved
proxied dashboard on the same origin is reused, with the link's own path,
query and fragment opened inside it (a mounted frame is navigated, not torn
down, so its state survives); otherwise one is saved under its host:port,
sandboxed like any other web tab, so it is in the Run dropdown next time.
Only loopback is routed this way. A LAN or tailnet address may well be
reachable from the device (a VPN, the same Wi-Fi) and a direct open is the
cheaper, richer path, so those keep opening in a new browser tab; on the
box itself every link opens directly. The terminal link provider and the
viewer's click handler consult one hook and fall through to their existing
behaviour when it declines.

The eye button rendered `data.text`, which is one row: the last assistant
row of the transcript. A Claude answer is a median of 3 model messages
(p90 11) split around tool calls, so the brief view usually showed the tail
of an answer ("Done.", "Let me look.") and the substance appeared only after
More. The full view was fine, which is why the brief one read as broken by
comparison.
The brief view now asks `?context=turn`. The reader answers with the
assistant messages of the last ANSWERED turn (`selectLastAnsweredTurn`: the
highest `turn` that has an assistant row, so a prompt queued after the
answer does not blank the view) and the frontend renders them exactly as
the full view renders that turn: one badge, then continuation segments,
gated on the numeric `turn` as before.
`data.text` is unchanged in every context — still the last assistant row,
never `messages.at(-1)` — because agent pollers hash it. Readers that emit
no turns (Codex, the pane parser, DeepSeek, an older server) return `text`
only for `context=turn`, and the brief view keeps its single card for them.

The picker's current-folder line was a read-only breadcrumb, so reaching a
deep folder meant tapping through every level, and the listing was fixed to
name order, so the file an agent had just written was somewhere in a
500-entry list.
The current folder is now an editable field: Enter or Go jumps there, a full
file path lands in its folder with that file selected, and a path that does
not resolve keeps the listing you had and says so, instead of the reset to
the root that a stale initialPath gets. A Sort control orders the listing by
name or modified time in either direction, folders always first, and the
choice is remembered per device like the hidden toggle. Each entry shows a
compact modified time (time of day today, month-day this year, else the
date).
GET /api/filesystem/browse stamps every entry with mtimeMs to make that
possible; the stat that already fetched a file's size now serves both, so
it is still one stat per entry. Entries without an mtime (an older server,
the in-container listing) sort after dated ones and then by name.

An iOS-style focus pull: the thing arrives out of focus and the blur fades
off it as the opacity comes up. Opacity leads the blur (full opacity around
45%, blur still lifting), which is what separates it from a cross-fade.
Ships on tabs (440ms), agent windows (560ms), the terminal pane (520ms) and
connection lines (380ms), plus a `Soft focus` theme that sets all four.
Default stays `legacy`, so an untouched install is unchanged.
The terminal pane is the one surface that cannot blur itself the documented
way, and `blur` takes a deliberate exception to the "never a filter on
.terminal-container" rule. Every alternative was measured against a live
xterm and does not work: a backdrop-filter veil on ::before blurs perfectly
while STATIC, and Chrome silently drops the backdrop the moment ANY
animation runs on that pseudo-element (the veil computes blur(15.3px) while
the text behind it stays razor sharp); driving the radius from rAF buys the
same full-screen blur per frame plus main-thread work. The cost the rule
exists to avoid is inherent to blurring a terminal, so the style buys it
knowingly: opt-in, off by default, one ~520ms run per session open, class
straight back off, will-change still unset. Worst-case price, headless
SwiftShader with no GPU: frame deltas 16.7ms -> 33.3ms for the run, against
16.7ms flat for `fade`. cols x rows measured unchanged at 178x38 before,
during and after, so FitAddon never sees it.
The line entrance animates `filter` too, where each line already carried
its glow. Both kinds now hold it in --line-glow and both keyframes say
`blur(N) var(--line-glow)`, so the function lists match and interpolate
instead of the glow vanishing for the run and popping back (a lineage
line's glow is a different colour, set per element). Its 100% frame omits
`opacity` on purpose so the endpoint comes from the element's own resting
value: 0.9 subagent, 0.72 lineage, 0.95 working.
test/entrance-animations.test.ts is a new static guard over the whole
feature, not just this style: the rule -> keyframes -> theme-option chain a
style silently does nothing without, the terminal's paint-only property
allowlist (the FitAddon rule), the --line-glow contract, and reduced-motion
coverage. Mutation-checked both ways.

The 50MB cap on file-raw, the attachment /raw route and /api/download was
memory protection for a `readFile()` that no longer exists: file-raw and
/raw were rewritten to stream through `sendFileBody()` and answer Range
requests, so size costs a read stream rather than RSS (measured: a 600MB
download moved peak RSS by ~37MB). All the cap still did was refuse
legitimate downloads of build artifacts, videos and archives.
It is now MAX_FILE_DOWNLOAD_BYTES in config/buffer-limits.ts, default 2GB,
env CODEMAN_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES, 0 = unlimited. `parseByteLimitEnv()` is
separate from the `parseInt(...) || default` idiom used elsewhere in that
file precisely because that idiom reads 0 as falsy and would silently
restore the default for the one value that means "no limit".
/api/download was the last route that really did buffer the whole file. It
now shares sendFileBody() with the other two, so it streams, advertises
Accept-Ranges, and is resumable. Its Content-Disposition also goes through
buildContentDisposition() rather than raw interpolation.
Refusals move from 400 to 413 across all three, which is the correct status
for the case; with the cap at 2GB it is a path almost nothing reaches now.

Review of the previous commit found that waiting for the font does not, on its
own, do anything.
`FitAddon.proposeDimensions()` measures nothing — it divides the container by a
CACHED cell size, and xterm refreshes that cache only from `open()`, from a
resize that actually changed the grid, and on a device-pixel-ratio change.
Nothing in it listens for font loading. So a fit that runs after the font
arrives can still divide by the fallback cell, propose the grid it already has,
and short-circuit before anything re-measures. The wait now ends by calling
`_charSizeService.measure()` itself, which is the step that makes the following
fit see the real font. Private API, as FitAddon's own dependency on `_core` is,
and guarded because a terminal can be disposed mid-wait.
The wait was also unbounded, and it sat behind the buffer-load gate. Neither
`FontFaceSet.load()` nor `FontFaceSet.ready` has a deadline, so a font request
that never settled left the tab spinning with live output queued behind it —
permanently, and on every session, since they share one promise. The comment
claimed the opposite ("a font that never loads must not block the terminal, so
this always resolves"), which was true of the per-face loads and false of
`ready`. It is now raced against TERMINAL_FONT_WAIT_MS, and the await moved
ahead of `_beginBufferLoad` so a slow font cannot hold output back at all —
which also removes the stale-select interaction with `_restoringFlushedState`,
since that flag is not yet set when the wait runs.
The awaited set no longer includes faces that cannot move the measured cell.
The bundled symbols font is ~1.2MB of private-use-area glyphs and xterm
measures `W`, so awaiting it put a megabyte in front of the first frame for
nothing; the generic families match no FontFace at all.
A runtime font change had the same race the boot-time one did:
applyTerminalFontFamily wrote the new family and fit on the next line, against
a family the browser might not have loaded. It now re-arms the wait and fits
again when it settles.
The claim that this could not be tested was wrong: the repo's vm harness
reaches both halves. The new suite pins the family filter, the forced
re-measure, the deadline, a rejecting load, a browser with no font API, and a
terminal disposed mid-wait — plus the four ordering properties in
selectSession, including that iOS Safari's synchronous focus still precedes the
first await. Each assertion was checked by reverting its fix.
Also corrects the docstring's reason for calling `document.fonts.load` (the
stylesheet is render-blocking and long parsed by then; the real reason is that
the WebGL renderer rasterises through a canvas atlas, and canvas text never
triggers a CSS font fetch), restores the JSDoc block the previous commit
displaced from getTerminalDimensions, and fixes a comment that described the
first fit as already having run when the mobile-Safari branch defers it.
Review of the previous commit found the guard inverted: the three skips keyed
on `?full=1`, which is only what the client asked for. When the capture comes
back null — ENOBUFS, a timeout, a vanished pane, or a session with no mux at
all — the reply falls back to the byte history, which IS a stream of
successive frames and still needs stripping. Gating on the request returned it
whole: measured at 82KB against 4KB for the same buffer without `full=1`. A
direct-PTY session takes that path on every first selection, not only during
an outage. The skips now key on `isFullCapture`, meaning a capture arrived.
Three further defects the same review surfaced, all on this path:
Keeping the trailing rows is only sound when a cursor move follows to count
back up from them. On the two branches where the cursor query fails there is
no move, so the caret was left at the bottom of the pane — worse than before.
The cursor is now read first and settles both decisions together.
The move is relative rather than absolute. `CUP` numbers rows from the top of
the browser's screen, so it is only right while the browser's row count equals
the pane's, and `resizeWindow` does not wait for tmux, so a capture can be
taken before a requested resize applies. Measured against real tmux with a
browser four rows shorter than the pane: the absolute move lands on a blank
row, the relative one lands on the caret's row.
An all-blank pane no longer reads as content. Retaining trailing rows and
appending a move made it non-empty, and the caller treats non-empty as "replay
this", so a blank screen would have replaced real history — the downgrade
`_replayWouldShrinkBuffer` refuses, arriving from the server side where that
guard cannot see it.
The documentation claimed one line per screen row. `-J` joins a hard-wrapped
row into its logical line, so that is false whenever any row wrapped: measured
at 10 lines for a 12-row pane. Both entries now say what actually holds, and
the stale "NOT repositioned" contract in the mux interface is updated too.
Tests: the byte-history fallback is stripped, an empty capture leaves history
intact, and the extracted helpers are unit-tested directly rather than through
source-text matching. The slice window in the capture test is bounded at the
next method, having overrun into its neighbours.
Review of the previous commit found four defects in it.
The guard sat above the local fit, so it suppressed a reflow as well as the
server write. tab-rail-resize performs its single settle-time refit through
sendResize and has no fallback for a truthy activeSessionId, so dragging the
rail stopped reflowing a detached session's terminal in the dashboard. The
mobile-keyboard guard fourteen lines below already draws the line correctly —
withhold the send, never the reflow — and the guard now sits after the fit.
_lastResizeDims is one value for the whole window, and both guards skip
updating it, so while a popup owns a session that value no longer describes
the PTY. _redock repaired it only for the active session. Pop out A, switch to
B, close the popup: selecting A later found unchanged dimensions, returned
"unchanged", and selectSession skipped its 400ms redraw wait — while the
server, comparing against the real pane, did resize and did raise SIGWINCH, so
the fetch painted the pre-redraw frame. _redock now clears the record on every
path, active or not.
_redock could also fire a resize for a session already gone: _onSessionDeleted
redocks before cleanup, so the id can be dead and the request is a guaranteed
404. It now checks the session still exists.
restoreTerminalSize — the header's redraw button and Ctrl+Shift+R — silently
did nothing for a detached session while still reporting success with
dimensions nothing was set to. It now says the session is sized by its own
window, where the same button works.
The `force` comment claimed a client-side dedupe that does not exist; the
deduplication is server-side against the real pane. Corrected to say what the
flag actually buys. The _redock doc comment now records that the function
writes to the server and is not idempotent.
Tests: _redock was the untested half and is the half three of these defects
sit in. It now has coverage for clearing the stale record on both the active
and inactive paths, re-asserting only for the session being shown, and staying
silent for a deleted session. The existing sendResize test now asserts the
local fit still runs.
Switching to a session left the caret one row below the composer's input
line, on the box border, and every cursor-relative update the CLI sent
afterwards was measured from the wrong row. Any fresh output repaired it,
because the CLI then repainted the whole frame.
Two things were wrong with the full-history replay, and they compound.
The capture never restored the cursor. The visible-frame path ends with an
absolute cursor move back to the pane's position; the linear path returned
its text and left the caret wherever the last character landed, which for an
agent CLI is the bottom-most row carrying text — the status line.
The rows it addressed did not line up with the pane's rows either. Four
transforms ran over the capture and each can delete a line: the trailing
blank rows were stripped, redraw-bloat stripping ran, the trim that cuts
everything above the Claude banner ran, and leading whitespace was removed.
All four are right for a byte stream of successive frames. A capture is the
rendered pane, one line per screen row, so each deletion shifted the frame
out from under the restored cursor.
The full-history path now appends the pane's own cursor position and keeps
every row, so row N of the reply is row N of the pane. The visible-frame and
tail paths are untouched.
Restoring the cursor is what makes row alignment load-bearing here, and
neither CLAUDE.md nor the architecture invariants said so — which is how
four line-deleting transforms accumulated on the path. Both now record it.
Verified against a live 315x59 pane: the reply carries 59 rows, its row 55
is the composer's input line matching tmux, and it ends with the cursor move
that lands there.
Popping a session out left both windows sizing the same pane. The dashboard
keeps the session active and keeps measuring it, and its terminal is
narrower than the popup because the session rail takes width the popup does
not have. One PTY cannot hold two sizes, so the CLI drew frames that fit
neither window and the popup showed a garbled frame.
sendResize and the debounced window-resize handler now stand aside for a
session this window has marked detached. A solo window is exempt, since it
is the owner. _maybeRefetchFullHistory already stood aside on exactly this
condition, so the rule is not a new one.
Sizing has to come back when the popup closes: while it owned the session
the dashboard sent no resizes, so the PTY still holds the popup's geometry.
_redock now re-asserts, with force, because the dimensions the dashboard
last sent are the ones it is about to send again.
Reproduced with a dashboard and a popup on one session: before, the pane
sat at 315 columns while the popup rendered 289. After, both report the
same size and the popup's frame matches the pane exactly.
Claude Code answers an exhausted model budget INSIDE the turn ("You've
reached your Fable limit. Run /usage-credits to continue or switch models
with /model.") and then sits there with nothing to write. The reviewer never
produces a report, so `runTurn` waited out its full 40-minute deadline and
reported a bare "timed out after 40 min without a report", which reads as a
hung reviewer rather than an account that needs attention.
Measured on 2026-09-08: #388, #393, #394 and #377 each lost 40 minutes this
way, and because every attempt counted, all four reached MAX_AUTO_RETRIES and
would NOT have been picked up again once the budget returned. One spent
afternoon quietly took the whole queue out of service.
`findModelLimitNotice()` reads the notice off the pane and `runTurn` returns
a new `limit` outcome instead of waiting. It is consulted in exactly two
places, both of which mean "the turn produced nothing": on a stop where
`isDone()` is still false, and on each timed-out wait slice. A review that
merely discusses usage limits in its own findings therefore cannot be
mistaken for one that hit the wall, and the pattern matches neither the model
name nor a straight apostrophe, since the pane renders a typographic one and
every model prints the same sentence.
A spent budget is an account condition, not a bad PR, so it no longer spends
the per-head retry budget: the queue resumes by itself when the budget does.
Telegram now names the cause and the file to change.
Tests use the pane captured verbatim off the run that lost the 40 minutes.

Ctrl+V in the terminal inserted the clipboard text twice. Right-click →
Paste inserted it once.
`_handleImagePaste()` appends a hidden contenteditable div, focuses it, and
reads the clipboard out of the paste event that lands there. Two separate
routes deliver that event for a single keypress. The function issues
`document.execCommand('paste')` itself, which in Firefox dispatches a
trusted paste event and then returns false, because the trap cancels the
event and the command never completes; Chromium and WebKit refuse that
command and dispatch nothing. The keydown's own default action delivers the
other, because xterm calls the custom key handler before its own `cancel()`,
so returning false never calls preventDefault. Firefox therefore ran the
trap's listener twice and both runs reached `terminal.paste()`. The
context-menu paste involves no keydown at all, which is why that path stayed
correct.
The trap now accepts the first paste event and cancels every later one, so
how many paste events a browser delivers no longer changes what the PTY
sees. Measured on a live install, one Ctrl+V each: Firefox two events and
two writes before this change, Chromium and WebKit one and one, and every
engine one write after it.
The `execCommand('paste')` call stays. Stripping it out also ends the
doubling, and all three engines still deliver one event without it, since
`trap.focus()` has already run when the key's default action resolves. It is
kept because the trap technique arrived in #84 for plain HTTP and for
mobile, and a desktop measurement says nothing about real iOS Safari or
Android Chrome: where a browser aims the default action at the element
focused when the keydown began, the command is the only route into the trap,
and the trap is the only place clipboard image blobs are read.
test/image-paste-trap.test.ts loads image-input.js into a `node:vm` context
with a fake document and fires two paste events at the trap. It covers text
and images, and fails on the old code with the text pasted twice and the
image uploaded twice.
Docs: the invariant goes into docs/architecture-invariants.md as a Terminal
paste section and into CLAUDE.md as a Frontend entry, both recording the
measured event counts and why the redundant call is still there. README.md
and the Keyboard Shortcuts and Input and Voice wiki pages gain a Ctrl+V row,
which all three tables were missing while listing every other clipboard
binding.

- Remote omp command now renders through buildSpawnCommandFromRegistry
(the mode-agnostic engine local/docker spawns use) instead of the
buildOmpCommand() the CLI-registry refactor deleted.
- Session._pinOmpRespawnId()/_maybeCaptureOmpSessionId() now skip
host-local ~/.omp resolution entirely for a remote session and fall
back to --continue: that resolver only ever reads THIS host's
filesystem, which is meaningless (and could wrongly alias an
unrelated local conversation) for a conversation that lives on the
remote host.
- Remote-claude launch now honors an explicit resumeSessionId distinct
from sessionId (mirrors claudeDockerPaneCommand's shape), and
validates sessionId the same way that sibling does before
interpolating it into the remote shell command.
- Add the still-missing header-cwd half of the trailing-slash test,
and document respawn/reattach continuation + auto-reconnect-vs-
clean-exit in docs/remote-sessions.md.

The COD-108 reconnect watcher treated any dead local pane as a dropped
transport and re-ran the pane command — so a normal ctrl-c/ctrl-d on a
remote omp/opencode/claude auto-spawned a FRESH agent (claude only
looked correct because its '--session-id || --resume' fallback resumed,
with a loud 'already in use' error first).
Distinguish a transport drop from an intentional exit: only reconnect
when the durable remote tmux session (codeman-ssh-*) is verifiably
still alive on the remote host. A clean exit tears that session down;
the watcher now probes it via ssh has-session and skips (remote-gone)
when it is gone OR unknown (fail closed). The probe is cached
per-session and fired async so the 5s tick never blocks on ssh.
Also thread ompConfig/resumeSessionId into the remote builders so a
dead-pane respawn of an omp session resumes (--resume <id>) or
continues (--continue) instead of launching bare omp.
Tests: 3 new cases pinning remote-gone / unknown / alive decisions;
remote omp resume + --continue fallback. Verified live: all three
remote CLIs stay dead after exit.
Two independent defects made ANY clean exit from a remote SSH session (user
ctrl-d or ctrl-c, or a dropped pane) relaunch the agent as a NEW conversation:
1. SSH-remote claude was launched as a bare `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions`,
so the remote-respawn path (COD-108 reattachRemote re-running the idempotent
launch command) started a fresh conversation every time. Pin it to the
deterministic Codeman session id, mirroring the docker-claude shape
(claudeDockerPaneCommand): `--session-id <id>` to create, with the
`|| --resume <id>` fallback so the idempotent re-run resumes instead of
erroring with "already in use". A per-host commands.claude override still wins.
2. OMP --resume pinning silently degraded to ambiguous `--continue` whenever a
case path ended in a trailing slash (e.g. remote `remotePath` stored verbatim
as `/home/user/dotfiles/`): mangleOmpWorkingDir produced `-dotfiles-` while
omp persists sessions under `-dotfiles`, readdirSync returned null for an
existing dir, and findLatestOmpSessionId/resolveAndClaimOmpSessionId never
matched. Normalize the trailing slash before mangling (new exported
stripTrailingSlash) and compare the session header cwd against the same
normalized value.
Both were found live 2026-08-29 on a remote OMP/Claude node: ctrl-c and ctrl-d
behaved identically, both relaunching a fresh session.
The previous shape guessed the character from `event.key` on keydown, re-emitted
it, and then tried to suppress a late canonical copy with a 250 ms
character-keyed dedupe. Review found three defects in that, all reproducible:
the dedupe matched on the character alone with nothing scoping a candidate to
the keydown that created it, so the same character typed twice inside the window
had its second, real byte swallowed; anything whose committed text differed from
`event.key` (Enter, IME punctuation) was delivered twice, because the dedupe
could never match it; and the trigger ignored `key === 'Unidentified'`, which is
what a soft keyboard reports, so it may never have fired where it was needed.
The input event already carries the committed text in `ev.data` — exactly what
xterm itself would have forwarded — so nothing has to be guessed. The controller
now only decides WHETHER to forward, by asking whether xterm produced canonical
data since the keydown that began the keystroke. No character-keyed matching
survives, so the first two defects are structurally impossible rather than
defended against, and nothing reads `key`/`keyCode`, so the third cannot recur.
Three details are load-bearing and each has a test that fails without it:
- The "did xterm speak?" snapshot is taken at KEYDOWN, not at the input event.
`_keyPress` emits and sets `_keyPressHandled` before `input` fires, so a
snapshot read at input time already contains that emission, reads it as
silence, and delivers the character twice.
- Our `input` listener is registered with `capture: true`. The target is visited
twice in the event path, so a capture listener calling `stopPropagation()`
stops later BUBBLE listeners on that same target; xterm's `cancel()` runs
exactly in the branch where it handled the input, so on bubble we would never
observe handled events, and whether we observed them at all would hang off
`options.cancelEvents`. Measured in jsdom and headless chromium; the table is
in the module header.
- Enter is deliberately no longer special-cased. That mapping is what made the
committed text differ from the re-emitted value in the first place.
The scope is also narrower than the old name suggests, and the browser test now
proves it rather than assuming it. For a keydown that reports keyCode 229 xterm
ALREADY self-rescues, via `CompositionHelper._handleAnyTextareaChanges()`
diffing the helper textarea on a 0 ms timer. A test asserting "we recovered it"
there passes while xterm does all the work, so the browser tests assert WHO
delivered the byte: zero canonical emissions for the genuinely orphaned case,
exactly one delivery for the case xterm rescues itself.
Also addresses review notes: the module gains an `@fileoverview` with
`@dependency`/`@loadorder` and an entry in the load-order list and module
inventory, and the wiring test moves out of the Ctrl+C smart-copy file into its
own. The keydown hook deliberately still runs for every key event rather than
moving behind the 229 gate: gating it would reinstate exactly the blindness
described above, and it is now a single counter assignment.
#386 made Codex conversations resumable from Past Sessions, and
resumeMobileOverviewSession() correctly passes row.resumeId on to
resumeHistorySession(). The phone's own row projection never copied the
field off the unified-list item though, so row.resumeId was always
undefined there and a tapped Codex row started a FRESH session on a thread
that was already on disk. The desktop path worked; only the phone was blind.
The test fails without the projection line, and pins the other half too: a
claude row must not grow a resumeId, since the field is what distinguishes
"resume this conversation" from "start a new one".
Docs: CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants both still described the unified
list as merging Claude transcript files. It has been three stores since this
PR (Claude's ~/.claude/projects, omp's ~/.omp/agent/sessions, codex's
~/.codex/sessions), the alias field keeps its Claude-era name without being
Claude-only, and the scanner-only rule behind resumeId was written down
nowhere.

#385 made the composer glyph and the working status line per-CLI registry
data, which is right, but `workingLine` arrived as a config-supplied regex
validated with a bare `new RegExp()`. That skips `compileVersionRegex()`,
the helper the registry uses for exactly this: a `~/.codeman/clis.json`
override can set the field, the compiled pattern is run against every
accumulated PTY chunk and every pane capture, and a nested quantifier there
backtracks on the event loop for the whole server rather than one session.
Route it through the helper in both places, which are not redundant: the
schema refine rejects the entry at LOAD time so a bad pattern never reaches
a session, and `_workingLinePattern()` compiles through the same helper so
the runtime cannot hold a pattern the schema would have refused. The helper
returns null instead of throwing, so the Claude-pattern fallback stops being
a try/catch and becomes structural. Both shipped patterns compile unchanged,
and Claude's is behaviourally identical to CLAUDE_WORKING_LINE_PATTERN.
Also match the Codex footer case-insensitively on the E. It was
characterised against codex-cli 0.152.1, which prints a lowercase `esc`;
a version capitalising it would make the whole fix silently inert, since
the pane would simply never look like it was working.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, architecture-invariants and cli-registry.md all still
stated the Claude-mode-only rule this PR retires, and none of them named
the new capability or the regex guard.

Merging with follow-up fixes applied on master: workingLine routed through compileVersionRegex() in both the schema refine and _workingLinePattern(), the Codex footer matched case-insensitively on the E, plus the doc passages that stated the retired Claude-mode-only rule.
A long orchestration creates one case directory per worker and deleting the
sessions never removed them, so ~/codeman-cases accumulated scratch folders
that were indistinguishable from real projects. They are now labelled and
have a cleanup path.
- src/agent-case-marker.ts: a case dir quick-start CREATES for an agent-driven
spawn gets a .codeman-agent-case.json marker (when, by whom, parent session,
mode). Only the create branch writes it, so a linked case, a cloned repo or
any pre-existing path is never labelled; reading is total, so a malformed
marker means "not agent-created" rather than a half-trusted entry.
- The signal is the new X-Codeman-Agent-Origin header the skill preamble sets
on its shared curl (preamble bumped to 1.22.0), or an agentOrigin body
field, falling back to a resolved parentSessionId so a worker spawned by a
stale skill copy is still labelled.
- GET /api/cases publishes it as agentCreated; GET /api/cases/agent-created is
a read-only cleanup listing adding inUse and modifiedAt; Add Case -> Manage
badges each case and offers a review-then-delete sweep that names every
directory in its confirm and skips any case a live session is working in.
Removal stays on the existing DELETE /api/cases/:name.
- Agent preamble caches are collected too: ~/.cache/codeman-agent-<id>.sh was
written per claude session and never removed (236 leftovers measured on a
working machine). Now deleted with the session and swept at boot, guarded by
a live-session keep set plus a 7-day age floor.
Verified end to end on an isolated instance: marker written for header, body
and lineage-only spawns, absent with no agent signal and for a pre-existing
directory; inUse flipping on session end; badge, sticky bar, confirm and sweep
driven in a browser; preamble seeded on create, removed on delete, boot sweep
taking only the aged orphans.

Android/GBoard-style keyboards fire keydown with keyCode 229 and, on some
paths, never mutate xterm's helper textarea. xterm has nothing to diff, so
it emits no data and the typed character is silently dropped: it never
reaches the PTY and never appears on screen.
terminal-keycode229-recovery.js is a standalone controller that re-emits
exactly those keys, and only once. xterm stays authoritative throughout:
- Only an explicit keyCode 229 keydown carrying a single printable key (or
Enter) is eligible; Process/Unidentified/Dead, modifiers, AltGraph and a
live composition are all left alone.
- The re-emit is scheduled from a microtask and then a zero-delay timer, so
xterm's own textarea diff always gets the first opportunity; canonical
data for the same key cancels the pending fallback.
- compositionstart and blur drop every pending candidate, so a real IME
composition lifecycle is never second-guessed.
- After a recovery, one late canonical value attributed to that key token
(via beforeinput/input on the helper textarea) is suppressed so the
character cannot be delivered twice; the record expires after 250ms and
an unattributed byte is never suppressed.
terminal-ui.js wires it at the two existing choke points — the custom key
handler and the onData registration, the latter now a named handler so the
recovery path can re-enter it — with both hooks wrapped so a failure in the
fallback can never break canonical input.
Unit coverage drives the module directly in a vm; the wiring itself is
covered end-to-end in the (browser-only) terminal-copy-shortcut suite.
master and this branch both rewrote the two `_claudeSessionId` resets inside
`start()`, so `src/session.ts` conflicted at both of them.
master's commit ccfda623 puts `restoredConversation` at the head of each
fallback chain. A restored mux attach means the CLI never stopped, so a
`/clear` before the Codeman restart may already have moved it to a
conversation the launch id knows nothing about. The persisted chain's tail is
that conversation, and the CLI's own hook reported it first-hand.
This branch adds `this._codexConfig?.resumeSessionId` to the same two chains,
so a resumed codex session keeps its thread-id alias across every mux reattach
and boot recovery.
Both fixes belong. Each chain now reads restoredConversation, then
_resumeSessionId, then omp's alias, then codex's alias, then the launch id.
The comments from both sides are kept.
test/session-claude-conversation-chain.test.ts pins the shape of those two
assignments by matching the source text, and its pattern named omp's alias as
the last term before `this.id`. Codex's alias now sits between the two, so the
pattern widens to pin the ends of the chain and let the middle grow. A `[^;]`
run cannot cross a statement boundary, so each match is still one assignment.
Checked on the merged tree: typecheck, lint, prettier and the frontend syntax
check all pass, and the CI suite runs 6721 tests green across 349 files.

The merge-time items from the #381 review. navigator.sendBeacon is not fetch,
so the base-aware wrapper never saw the two crash-diag beacons and a sub-path
install posted them to the origin root every two seconds. The test suite now
strips CODEMAN_BASE_URL like CODEMAN_GESTURE, since the constructor reads it
as a fallback and an operator who exports it would see the root-install
byte-identity assertions fail. test/base-path-server.test.ts boots a real
WebServer under /codeman and checks the ingress strip, the base injection,
the rebased redirects, the 404 envelope and a prefixed WebSocket upgrade.

#367 (UserPromptSubmit hook): `hook:prompt_submitted` went on the wire
unregistered; it is now in both SSE registries (158 = 158), and the hook only
lands in the run summary when the conversation actually moved, since one row
per prompt would evict useful rows from the 1000-event FIFO and clutter the
Summary timeline and /api/search.
#368 (Add Case header submit): the pending-state dimming targeted the footer
button, which the <=860px layout hides, so on a phone the only visible submit
control stayed at full brightness while a clone ran. The header button now
dims too, and a static test pins the header-submit contract so it cannot
silently disappear again.

Review fixes for #386.
Duplicate rows. A codex conversation showed twice, once live and once as a
past rollout row, because nothing aliased a codex session to its thread id.
That is worse than cosmetic: the stale row still resumes, so clicking it
starts a second `codex resume` on a thread already open in another pane.
- A RESUMED session knows its thread id up front, so it folds from its own
side: add `codexConfig.resumeSessionId` to the `claudeSessionId` chain.
Not only in the constructor — `start()` recomputes that id at two further
points (the mux branch, and the unconditional "third reset point" whose
own comment already warned that omitting omp's fallback there stomps the
mux branch's resolved alias). Both listed Claude's and omp's ids only, so
for codex every mux reattach and boot recovery reset the alias back to
the Codeman id and the duplicate returned.
- A FRESH session has no thread id until codex writes the rollout, so it is
folded from the other side. The scanner now reports
`session_meta.originator`, which is `codeman_<sessionId>` for every pane
Codeman spawns, and `gatherUnifiedInputs()` stamps the matching live and
persisted rows, newest rollout winning (`/new` inside the TUI leaves
several rollouts sharing one originator).
- Persisted rows read `codexConfig.resumeSessionId` too. A resumed session
demoted to a persisted-only record would otherwise lose its alias, and
the originator fallback cannot rescue that one: a resumed rollout keeps
its ORIGINAL session_meta, so it still names the pane that created the
thread rather than the pane that resumed it.
Identity cache. It was written as soon as the thread id was known, but codex
writes the first user message only when the user submits, so any scan in that
window pinned `firstPrompt: undefined` for the life of the process — and the
home screen, the command palette and the search-index refresh all scan.
`shouldCacheIdentity()` now keeps an identity only once the prompt is known or
the head read filled its whole window.
Also from review: both caps count emitted rows rather than file index, so a
store of sub-agent threads no longer spends the `lastPrompt` budget before the
first row that needed it; the cache is an `LRUMap` sized like the one beside
it; the unreachable filename fallback is gone; a rollout recording no cwd is
dropped rather than emitted with `workingDir: ''`; and the unified-session
module header names all three transcript stores.
Tests. The resume wiring now has cases for a row with a thread id, a row
without one, and a `resumeId` on a non-codex row; the "no continuation is
wired" case narrows to gemini/antigravity, which is no longer true of codex.
`codex-resume-alias-survives-start.test.ts` drives a real Session through
`start()` rather than asserting on pre-stamped inputs — that gap is why the
reset points went unnoticed. Plus the maintainer's own cache repro, the
tail-budget case, a no-cwd case, and merge cases for both folds.
Observed on the first live merge (#383 via the Telegram button): runConfirmed
announced the merge and the scan five seconds later announced it again as a
closed PR. The scan now stays quiet for PRs the bot itself merged or closed,
and a merge of a `merge-with-fixes` verdict reminds that merging applies none
of the listed fixes.
A failed review used to be re-queued on every scan with no limit (two PRs
failed once each and were retried fine, but a head that keeps failing would
cost a session every ten minutes forever): three failures on one head now
stop the automatic retries until /review N or a new push. The failure notice
carries the reviewer's last message, so "finished without writing
report.json" says what it wrote instead.

Maintainer tooling in scripts/pr-bot/: a daemon (systemd user unit
codeman-pr-bot) that lists open PRs with gh, reviews each head commit once in
a Codeman claude session (`prbot-<n>`) running in a private `git clone
--shared`, and sends the verdict, ranked findings, checks and a recommendation
to Telegram with action buttons. Merge, close, post-comment and approve-CI
happen only from a Telegram command or button plus a confirmation tap; the
bot never writes to GitHub on its own. The Telegram token and chat id come
from the existing notifier bot's env file.
Verified live: three PRs reviewed end to end (383, 363, 368), reports
delivered with buttons, reviewer sessions on the pinned model. Findings
along the way, each fixed and documented: a linked worktree inherits the
main checkout's model pin (hence the shared clone), undici's 5-minute header
timeout cut off the first review, gh was missing from the service PATH, and
the periodic scan orphaned an in-flight review's record.

Codex conversations never appeared in the session list, and the resume path
skipped codex, so picking one back up meant finding its thread id by hand and
POSTing codexConfig.resumeSessionId to /api/sessions.
Two gaps caused it:
- The unified list is built from ~/.claude/projects plus omp's own store.
Codex writes to neither: its rollouts live in ~/.codex/sessions/<y>/<m>/<d>.
- terminal-ui.js sends a continuation only for the CLIs with a
"continue most recent" flag. Codex has no such flag — it names a thread by an
exact id — and nothing supplied one.
Add codex-transcript.ts, the codex analog of omp-transcript.ts, and wire it into
gatherUnifiedInputs() beside the omp scan. A rollout row carries `resumeId`, the
thread id `codex resume` takes, and the resume path sends it as
codexConfig.resumeSessionId.
`resumeId` is what keeps the two kinds of row apart: only a transcript scanner
sets it, so a LIVE codex row — whose sessionId is Codeman's own uuid — can never
ask codex for a thread that does not exist.
Three things measured against a real store of 519 rollouts rather than assumed:
- Rollouts are far too large to read whole (median 407 KiB, p90 1.3 MiB, max
25 MiB, 381 MiB total), so this reads a 128 KiB head for the identity and the
opening prompt and a bounded tail for the most recent one. session_meta is
written once and never rewritten, so per-path identity is cached; a warm
rescan of that store costs ~75ms against ~470ms cold.
- codex 0.152.1 emits no event_msg/user_message rows at all. It writes
event_msg/item_completed carrying an item.type of UserMessage. Both shapes are
read, plus response_item as a last resort.
- That last resort sees injected context, and the first such row is the repo's
AGENTS.md every time, so injections are dropped rather than used as titles.
Sub-agent threads (thread_source: 'subagent') are left out; codex spawns them
for itself and on a real store they outnumber the resumable threads.
A Codex session reported `isWorking: false` for its entire life, including
mid-turn. Codeman has four paths that mark a session working, and all four were
inert for Codex:
- The spinner fast path tests eight braille frames, and Codex animates none.
- The activity-streak fallback was wrapped in `!isExternalCliMode(mode)`.
- The pane probe inside `_confirmIdle` would have matched, since Codex prints
`esc to interrupt`, but arming it required the literal glyph `❯` and Codex
draws `›` on its composer row.
- The text detector sat inside `_processExpensiveParsers`, whose first statement
returns early for an external CLI.
Add an optional `workDetect: { promptGlyph, workingLine }` to CliCapabilities,
so the two strings that differ per CLI are registry data rather than constants
in the detector. Claude declares its existing pair and behaves as before. Codex
declares `›` and `esc to interrupt`. The text detector moves above the
external-CLI early return, guarded on the descriptor so a CLI without one still
skips the ANSI strip that the early return used to save it.
A CLI that declares no descriptor falls back to Claude's pair, and the
activity-streak gate now reads "has a descriptor, or is not external", so the
plain shell mode keeps the behaviour it had.
Rewrite the test that asserted the old premise in its own comment, so it makes
the same guarantee for a genuinely uncharacterised CLI, and add Codex coverage
built from verbatim pane captures on Codex CLI 0.152.1.
Review follow-ups to #357. Each is a path that still touched, or still hid, a
container Codeman does not own.
**Export still mutated it.** The four fail-closed layers cover create/start/
stop/remove, but `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/export` reaches the container
twice through neither: a full export `docker commit`s it, and even a
workspace-only export `docker pause`s it first for snapshot consistency. Pause
freezes the owner's processes for as long as the tar takes, on a container we
promised not to touch. Full export is refused for an adopted case (it packages
someone else's container, with their logins, into a bundle Codeman hands out);
workspace-only keeps working and no longer pauses, accepting a live filesystem
the way `tar` does on any running host directory.
**A freshly linked OWNED case became unusable.** The run menu now probes the
container for its CLIs, and a failed probe hides every agent mode behind the
reason. For an adopted case that is right. For an owned one the container does
not exist until the first session launches it, so every newly linked Docker case
answered `container "codeman-case-x" not found (adoption never creates a
container — start it yourself first)` and offered nothing but Shell, for a
container the launch chain was about to create itself. A failed probe is
recorded only when the case is adopted; `CaseInfo.docker.owned` is on the wire
so the frontend can tell them apart. Verified in a browser: owned-with-no-
container offers all ten modes and no notice, adopted-but-stopped offers Shell
and says why.
**Multi-user gating.** Adoption is admin-only, unlike `docker-link` beside it.
Linking creates OUR container, whose sole bind mount `isWorkingDirAllowed` has
already confined to the caller's space; an adopted container's mounts are
whatever its owner gave it, so one mounting `/` hands the adopter a shell over
the whole host — exactly the workspace scoping multi-user mode exists to
enforce. Listing the engine's containers and browsing directories inside an
arbitrary one are machine-level reads and follow the docker-HOST policy for the
same reason. The preflight is deliberately not admin-only: the run menu fires it
for every docker case, so it admits a non-admin for a container already linked
to a case they can access, and nothing else.
Verified end to end against a real pre-existing root container (alpine + tmux,
no bind mounts): adopt, claude session inside it, workspace export, session
close and case unlink all left `StartedAt`, `RestartCount`, `Pid` and `Paused`
untouched; the pane ran the CONTAINER's claude, without
`--dangerously-skip-permissions`; a stopped container was refused at both
preflight and launch and was never started.

feat(docker): attach a case to an already-running container
Conflicts came from work that landed after the PR was opened, and each is
resolved onto the newer abstraction rather than by keeping the older code:
- `defaultDockerCommandForMode` is registry-driven since #347, so the PR's
`runsAsRoot` arm became `overlays.docker.rootCommand` (claude only). Claude
Code still refuses `--dangerously-skip-permissions` as root in 2.1.261 and the
refusal is visible only inside the container, so an adopted root container
otherwise just shows a dead pane. Which flag to drop is a per-CLI fact, and
`test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` forbids expressing it as a branch.
- The probe's mode list and its mode -> binary table both duplicated the
registry. They now read `enabledCliIds()` / `discovery.binaries[0]`, which is
also what fixes the merge's silent regression: the hand-written list predates
`omp`, and the run menu gates every docker case on this probe, so owned
containers would have lost that mode. `shell` needs no arm — it declares no
binary, so it is dropped from the lookup and reported available regardless.
- The per-mode `mode === 'claude' && !cliDir` chain in `tmux-manager.ts` is one
`missingCliMessage(mode)` gate since #347; the PR's docker exemption moved onto
it. Its test now pins the single gate instead of counting seven arms.
- The create arm keeps #349's swap-limit warning filter, which the adopted arm
never reaches; the run-mode list gains `omp` from #353.
