The lost-frame recovery page is answered ahead of the credential checks in both
auth hooks, which makes it the third unauthenticated 200 beside the two hook
routes, and the only one decided by request headers alone. CLAUDE.md's security
table listed exactly two, and docs/web-tabs.md is not where anyone auditing that
looks, so it now has a row in the table and a fourth property in
docs/security-architecture.md section 10b, including the `/` carve-out and its
credential-free condition. Both state the property that comes with it: a
non-browser client can set those headers, so an unauthenticated caller can tell a
registered route (401) from a non-route (200) and enumerate the route table,
accepted because the routes are public in docs/api-reference.md.
docs/web-tabs.md gains the landing-page case in layer 6 and a Known limits entry:
masking trades away the Referer safety net, only HTML is rewritten server-side,
and a root-absolute url() inside an inline <style> block has the masked document
as its Referer, so it 404s where the Referer fallback used to rescue it. External
stylesheets are unaffected.

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.

A dashboard served through a web tab saw `/webview/<cap>/` as its
`location.pathname`, and no app has a route for that: a React Router, Vue
Router or Vite dev-server page painted its HTML and CSS and then replaced
them with its own "page not found" the moment its script ran (reproduced
with a minimal history-routed page).
The proxy's runtime shim now rewrites the history entry to the path the
page would see on its own origin, before any page script runs. The base
element still resolves relative URLs inside the prefix and every root-
absolute sink is rewritten back into it, so only what the page READS
changes. With the document URL masked the Referer-keyed 404 rescue can no
longer help a request the shim misses, so the remaining URL-taking entry
points (`Worker`, `SharedWorker`, `navigator.sendBeacon`, `window.open`)
are covered by the shim as well.
A navigation the page starts itself afterwards — `location.reload()`
(a dev server's full-reload HMR), a root-absolute `location.href` — lands
on Codeman's root with no capability anywhere: no prefix in the path, no
cookie in an opaque-origin frame, a Referer naming the masked page. It is
recognised by shape (a top-level iframe navigation asking for HTML, for a
path Codeman does not serve) and answered with a static page whose only
script posts `{type:'codeman:webview-lost', path}` to the parent; the tab
that owns the frame (matched by `event.source`, never by the payload)
remounts it inside the prefix at that path, bounded per frame. The
unauthenticated form is answered in the auth middleware before the
credential checks, so a dev server that reloads on every save cannot
rate-limit its own user out of Codeman; the authenticated form (Basic
auth, trusted mode) is answered by the 404 handler.
Verified end to end against a history-routed page: boots on `/`, its
API call succeeds, a reload inside the frame comes back routed on the
path it had pushed, `location.href = '/about'` comes back on `/about`,
and a deep link opens on its path.

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.

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.

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.

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.
