Review fixes for #469.
The Ctrl+C branch cleaned the selection to decide whether to copy and then
passed that cleaned string to copyTerminalSelection(), which cleans again. The
trailing trim is a fixed point, so that was safe until this PR; the margin
strip is not, because it takes the lesser of the declared width and the run
every line shares, so a second pass takes up to `margin` columns more. The
branch now gates on the cleaned string and hands the raw one on. Verified in
chromium with a real drag, a real Ctrl+C and a real clipboard read on a live
claude pane: an on-screen ` fix(terminal): trim it` reaches the clipboard
as ` fix(terminal): trim it`, and reverting the branch reproduces the
reported ` fix(terminal): trim it`.
Pane B of a split resolves its own width. `_cliGutterColumns()` and
`_normalisedSelectionRange()` take the session and the terminal to read,
defaulting to the primary pane's, so Pane B looks its own run mode up instead
of keeping a margin Pane A drops on the same keystroke. Verified live with two
claude panes open side by side.
A detached session window (`/session/:id`) receives the gutter map. The
injection sat inside the block that skips the run menu's payloads for a solo
window, so the toggle worked in the main window and did nothing in the popup on
the same device. It needs no availability probe, so it moved below that block
and the solo window still carries none of the payloads it skipped before.
The settings description said the width is measured and named Codex as exempt.
Nothing is measured, and Codex is one of the two panes that are stripped.
docs/wiki/Settings-Reference.md gains the row every Terminal and Input toggle
carries. CLAUDE.md no longer says the clean touches trailing runs "and nothing
else" one sentence before the leading-margin rule, and both it and
docs/architecture-invariants.md record that the strip is not idempotent.
Two round-trip tests run on a mode that declares a gutter, which the existing
copyTerminalSelection cases could not, since they all use the harness default
mode that declares none. The Ctrl+C branch itself is pinned at the source,
because it lives inside initTerminal's attachCustomKeyEventHandler closure over
a real xterm the vm harness cannot build. Both pins fail on the reintroduced
bug. Gate: 7865 passed, 0 failed.

xterm hands back whole screen rows and trims only the cells that were
never written to, so the real spaces a full-screen TUI paints across the
unused part of a row count as content and reach the clipboard. Measured
against Claude Code in a 282-column pane, single lines arrived carrying
138 trailing spaces, and every line carried the two-space transcript
indent as well. Windows Terminal, iTerm2 and GNOME Terminal all trim that
for you, decideAutoCopy already calls a wall of spaces "never what the
gesture meant", and _selectTouchSelectionLine already treats those cells
as padding — the mouse and keyboard paths never had the same rule.
CodemanCopySelection.clean lives in constants.js beside decideAutoCopy,
its pure sibling. It drops the trailing run from each line, and removes
the leading run only where every selected row shares one. A selection of
a single row keeps its run, because one row shares nothing with anything
and stripping it would silently reindent one line of `git log` body text
or one line out of `less`. A drag that began inside a row keeps its
partial first line untouched and out of the measurement, which otherwise
pins the shared run to zero and leaves every following row indented.
Every pass over a line is a scan rather than a regex. `/[ \t]+(\r?)$/` is
quadratic on a line whose spaces are followed by a non-space character,
which is what right-aligned or centred TUI content looks like: measured
over 50 000 rows with a 280-column run it took 2.9s, against 1.3ms for
the scan, and a 2 000-column run took 16s. The scan is also the faster of
the two on an ordinary padded row.
cleanedTerminalSelection in terminal-ui.js is the half that needs the
live terminal. It returns a COLUMN selection untouched: Alt+drag makes
one, and a rectangle's rows lining up is the point of the gesture, so
both halves of the clean would destroy it. xterm exposes the mode nowhere
public, so the check reads terminal._core._selectionService, the way this
file already reads terminal._core for cell dimensions, and cleans
normally if a future xterm renames the field. A test pins that assumption
against the library rather than against a stub repeating the literal.
The Ctrl+C chord decides on the cleaned selection, not the raw one. A
drag across the blank part of a row selects real padding spaces, so the
raw text is truthy, and testing it would spend that press on a copy of
nothing and make the user press again to interrupt. A padding-only
selection is now dropped and the press falls through to the PTY, while
Ctrl+Shift+C still never falls through. copyTerminalSelection gates on
trim() for the same reason, since a multi-row drag across padding cleans
to line breaks alone and a bare newline pasted into a chat composer
submits it.
All four of the main terminal's copy paths go through it: the Ctrl+C
chord, right-click, the phone selection button and Auto Copy. The
browser's own Edit menu copy, a disabled copy shortcut and the subagent
windows still copy raw rows, as they did before, and the invariants doc
now says so rather than claiming every copy is cleaned. Auto Copy
resolves its own toggle before it reads the selection, since it is off by
default and a selection can run to the 50 000-row scrollback ceiling.

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.

- Session Manager (COD-121/192): align _loadSessionManagerList() with the
merged #139 endpoint — map UnifiedSessionItem fields (lastActivityAt
epoch-ms → lastModified, optional sizeBytes/firstPrompt/name) to the
history-record shape _buildHistoryItem renders; surface non-2xx /
error-envelope responses as a visible message instead of a silent
"No sessions found"; route clicks by liveness (live row → selectSession,
history row → resumeHistorySession by conversation UUID) via a new
onActivate option so a live session is never duplicate-resumed
- Ctrl+K double-dispatch: gate the palette chord in
attachCustomKeyEventHandler (return false on keydown) so xterm never
writes 0x0b kill-line into the PTY while the palette opens; gate is
registry-aware so a rebound/disabled palette shortcut restores normal
terminal Ctrl+K
- Shortcut registry (COD-157) finished per maintainer decision: document
keydown now dispatches through getShortcutRegistry() +
matchesShortcutEvent() (legacy SHORTCUTS table removed), honoring
per-shortcut disable and rebinds incl. the palette chord; overrides
persist via saveAppSettingsToStorage() (correct device key + cache
coherence, was orphaned 'codeman:settings'); Shortcuts tab renders on
open via switchSettingsTab hook; capture uses a persistent listener that
ignores bare modifier keydowns (combos now capturable) and requires a
Ctrl/Cmd/Alt chord; settings rows use delegated listeners instead of
inline onclick (JS-string injection sink) and overrides can no longer
clobber id/label/action; added the missing row + overlay CSS
- matchesShortcutEvent: reject undeclared extra modifiers (Ctrl+Shift+K
no longer hijacked from Firefox devtools) while keeping Ctrl/Cmd
interchangeable; match physical code OR produced key for layout parity
- Registry/dispatch gaps: added restore-terminal-size entry, documented
Ctrl+Shift+R again in the help modal (test flipped to assert presence),
Ctrl+?/Alt+? now really open the registry-driven shortcut overlay, and
Escape closes it
- Palette new-session pick routes through selectQuickStartCase() so the
searchable combobox, dir display, and lastUsedCase stay in sync
- Removed fork cherry-pick debris: dead _onSessionListMaybeChanged(),
orphaned .session-row-menu CSS, nonexistent closeMobileHeaderUtilities
calls
- Tests: functional vm-harness coverage for the unified-list field
mapping + error state + liveness routing, palette chord shift/disable/
rebind handling, override persistence round-trip, capture flow, tab
render hook, and source guards for the PTY gate + registry dispatch

The PR migrated the app.js tab-nav handler to physical e.code but left xterm's
pass-through gate (terminal-ui.js) matching ev.key digits. Consequences:
- Alt+[ / Alt+] (the new bindings) were never in the gate, so xterm sent ESC[ / ESC]
to the PTY on every platform AS WELL AS switching the session.
- Alt+digit on a remapped macOS Option layout (Option+1 -> "¡") didn't match the
ev.key '0'-'9' gate either, so xterm injected ESC<char> — on exactly the layouts
this PR exists to fix.
Update the xterm gate to mirror app.js exactly: suppress when
`ev.altKey && !ctrl && !shift && /^(Digit[1-9]|BracketLeft|BracketRight)$/.test(ev.code)`.
Returning false there tells xterm not to write to the PTY, so the shortcut switches
the tab with no stray escape sequence.
Also: relabel the docs Alt/Option (the mechanism is layout/OS-independent, so the
shortcut works for Linux/Windows Alt users too — "Option" alone was Mac-only wording),
and add a keyboard-shortcuts test asserting terminal-ui.js gates on the same physical
codes so this desync can't regress (a grep the original test missed).
Verified: keyboard-shortcuts test 4/4, check:frontend-syntax, check:public-assets,
format:check all clean.

Tab-switch shortcuts matched e.key, so on macOS Option+1 emits a special
character ('¡', not '1') and the shortcut silently failed. Switch to physical
e.code (Digit1-9), which is layout-independent. Also adds Option+[ / Option+]
for previous / next session. Help modal + README updated.
Test: test/keyboard-shortcuts.test.ts.
