Codeman can now be mounted under a sub-path behind a reverse proxy that
forwards the prefix unchanged (e.g. https://host/codeman/). Default is `/`
(root), which is byte-identical to the historical behavior.
Design — few choke points, mirrored ingress/egress:
- src/config/base-path.ts: pure single-source normalize/validate/join/strip.
- Server ingress: stripBasePath() inside Fastify rewriteUrl, so routes stay
declared prefix-agnostic; un-prefixed requests (hooks, health, docker bridge
hitting the raw port) pass through unchanged.
- Server egress: one onSend hook prepends the base to root-absolute Location
headers (covers all redirects).
- HTML: renderIndexHtml points <base href> at the mount and injects
window.__CODEMAN_BASE__ — ONLY when a base is set (inert at root).
- Frontend runtime URLs: CodemanBase.url() route builder in constants.js,
applied transparently by a fetch wrapper and explicitly at the
EventSource/WebSocket/window.open/<img|iframe|a>-src sites.
- sw.js derives its base from self.location; manifest uses relative start_url/scope.
- Web-tab proxy: proxyPrefixFor(cap, basePath) is the single base-aware root that
cascades to the injected <base>, HTML/attr rewrites, runtimeUrlShim, Set-Cookie
Path and Location; capabilityFromReferer strips the base off the browser Referer,
while the ingress parsers stay base-agnostic (rewriteUrl already stripped it).
--base-url rides the daemon relaunch (buildWebArgs) and the service unit
(resolveServicePlan). constants.js is guarded against a missing `window` for
isolated unit-test contexts.
Tests: test/base-path.test.ts (pure helpers), base-path coverage in
webview-proxy/render-index-html/daemon-control; CodemanBase stubbed in the
vm-isolated panels-ui test contexts. Docs: Remote-Access.md (sub-path section +
nginx example), security-architecture.md env table, CLAUDE.md pattern.

The button next to the file preview's close icon was Copy Content, whose
overlapping-pages glyph reads as a pop-out control - and for a PDF or any
media/binary preview it was completely dead: those branches never fill
filePreviewContent, so the click hit an empty-content guard and did nothing,
with no feedback.
There is now a real detach button that opens the previewed file in a browser
tab (raw route for PDFs/images/media/text, the server-converted PDF preview
for docx/pptx), severs window.opener by hand so a blocked pop-up stays
detectable, closes the overlay on success (which also stops any playing
media), and disarms on close so it can never open a stale file. The copy
button now toasts 'Nothing to copy in this preview' instead of staying
silent.
Verified live with Playwright against an isolated instance: button visible
and armed on a PDF preview, file-raw answers 200, clicking opens the URL and
tears the overlay down, text previews keep a working copy buffer.
