- applyWorkspaceHooks: an "unknown" probe that is not near a stalled path
(refused by the stall cap, or an unexpected stat error) no longer reads as
"go ahead". It checks existence with pathExistsForWrite first, so a deleted
workspace is not recreated by the mkdir -p in ensureCodemanHooks.
- pastCap gets a hard ceiling, PATH_PROBE_STALL_CEILING = UV_THREADPOOL_SIZE
(default 4) minus one, so explicit requests against several dead paths can
never take the last libuv worker. The bulk cap now defaults to one below the
ceiling (2 with the default pool), leaving a slot for an explicit request.
- A stall widens to its mount only for network and FUSE filesystem types read
from /proc/self/mounts; on a local mount (a path typed under a local /home
that reaches a NAS through a symlink) it narrows to the stalled path.
- GET /api/cases/:name probes CLAUDE.md with pastCap, like the folder probe.
- Comment in config/path-probe.ts describes the mount-scoped stall.
The bounded path probe answered "absent" both when a path did not exist and
when it simply did not answer, so a stalled linked case 404'd and the Run
button scaffolded a stray local case over it, and two stalled paths anywhere
made every unrelated path read as absent (hooks skipped, statusLine
overridden, the clone warning lost).
- probePath()/probePathKind() are tri-state: present (or directory/file),
absent (ENOENT/ENOTDIR only) and unknown (timeout, other errors, refusal).
boundedPathExists() stays as the display-only boolean.
- A stalled path takes only its own mount out of probing (deepest mount
point from /proc/self/mounts, never /; just the path itself when there is
no mount table). Unrelated paths keep probing. The process-wide cap is a
backstop that answers unknown, and a single-path user request can probe
past it ({ pastCap: true }), still bounded and still recorded as stalled.
One console.warn when a path first stalls and one when the cap engages.
- GET /api/cases/:name keeps NOT_FOUND for definite absence only. An
unreachable linked case answers with its registered path and
unreachable: true; a local one answers OPERATION_FAILED. runClaude and
runShell create a case only on errorCode NOT_FOUND. The case list keeps an
unreachable linked case, marked unreachable, instead of dropping it, and
fix-plan reports an unreadable plan as an error, not "no plan".
- applyWorkspaceHooks and the statusLine helpers skip only a workspace that
is absent or on the stalled mount; a capacity refusal no longer stops
hooks being installed elsewhere, and an unreadable settings file never
lets the exporter override a user's own statusLine.
- The clone flow's repo-settings warning is back on its synchronous check,
and stripCaseEnvKeys uses pathExistsForWrite.
- POST /api/sessions (workingDir) and POST /api/quick-start (case folder)
probe with the bounded probe instead of statSync/existsSync. Missing and
non-directory keep INVALID_INPUT; unknown is OPERATION_FAILED, and
quick-start never scaffolds over a folder that did not answer.
- PATH_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS and MAX_STALLED_PATH_PROBES move to
src/config/path-probe.ts, overridable via CODEMAN_PATH_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS
(default 1500) and CODEMAN_PATH_PROBE_MAX_STALLED (default 3), and are
documented in the Settings Reference.
- The probe is exported from the utils barrel and imported from there.
A linked case can live on a network mount. When that mount goes away, a
hard mount makes stat() wait indefinitely, and the existsSync() probes in
the case routes and the workspace hook/statusline helpers ran on the event
loop, so a single GET /api/cases (or a session create in that workspace)
froze the whole web server until the mount came back.
Add boundedPathExists() (src/utils/bounded-path-probe.ts): an async stat
that answers "absent" after 1.5 s, shares one in-flight probe per path,
remembers a timed-out path until its stat finally settles, and refuses to
start new probes while two stalled ones still hold libuv threadpool
workers. Route the read-side probes in case-routes.ts and hooks-config.ts
through it. The settings writers in hooks-config.ts use an async lstat
that treats only ENOENT as missing, so an unreachable workspace is never
mistaken for an empty one and has its settings recreated.
- UI: add the missing data-tab="case-remote" tab button; dispatch it through
submitCaseModal()/switchCaseModalTab() to linkRemoteCase() (was dead code).
- Restore: restoreMuxSessions() now passes remote (muxSession.remote ??
savedState.remote) into the Session constructor, so remote metadata round-trips
on restart instead of reattaching from a local cwd / respawning LOCAL / being
erased from state.json. Recovery tests added.
- Run flows: runClaude()/runShell() route remote cases through /api/quick-start
(POST /api/sessions stat-validates workingDir locally); run*() skip the
/api/*/status pre-check and omit inert config/env for remote cases.
- Quick-start: resolve the remote case BEFORE the local CLI availability gates and
skip isCodex/Gemini/OpenCodeAvailable() when remote; REJECT
envOverrides/effort/codex/gemini/openCode config for remote (they don't cross
ssh) instead of silently dropping them.
- Injection: reject $, backtick, $( in remotePath + identityFile at the schema
layer (they survive shellescape into the bash -c launch double-quote layer).
Regression tests for $(...) and backtick payloads added.
- Remote socket/name: launch on a DEDICATED -L codeman-remote socket under a
codeman-ssh-<id> name that fails a remote Codeman's SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN, so a
remote instance can't adopt the session; scope tmux set-options per-session
(never -g) so they don't mutate other sessions.
- Kill: best-effort ssh 'tmux -L codeman-remote kill-session' on remote session
kill (fire-and-forget, never blocks/throws the local kill) so the remote agent
isn't orphaned forever.
- Probe: wire checkRemoteTmuxAvailable() into POST /api/quick-start (structured
OPERATION_FAILED) and as courtesy validation in remote-link; add a default
-o ConnectTimeout=10 to buildSshConnectionArgs (overridable via extraSshOptions).
- Command default: remote claude default is now
'exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' (per-host override stays the escape
hatch), mirroring local non-interactive semantics.

The Remote case form could only reach port-22, default-identity, directly
SSH-able hosts. Add an escape-hatch set of SSH connection options so Codeman
can reach a host like aa-desktop (custom port 2222, ed25519 identity, cloudflared
SOCKS5 ProxyCommand) the way ssh-aa-desktop does — without shelling out to that
wrapper.
- Model (types/session.ts): new optional RemoteSshOptions (identityFile,
socksProxy, jumpHost, extraSshOptions) on RemoteHost AND SessionRemote; all
absent = today's behavior. toSessionRemote() carries them case->session.
- Shared buildSshConnectionArgs(remote) in remote-hosts.ts: pure, exported,
ordered ssh connection tokens (-o BatchMode=yes, -p, -i <abs identity with
~/$HOME expanded + shellescaped>, -J, -o ProxyCommand=nc -X 5 -x <socks>
%h %p emitted as ONE shellescaped token so %h %p reach ssh literally, then
each extraSshOptions -o). Both buildRemoteLaunchCommand (tmux-manager.ts) and
buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand now use it, so the prereq probe and the real
launch connect identically. checkRemoteTmuxAvailable widened to accept the
options (callers already pass the full host).
- Validation (schemas.ts): identityFile (no newline/NUL), socksProxy
(host:port), jumpHost (no shell metachars), extraSshOptions (KEY=VALUE,
reject newline/NUL/backtick/$() — defense-in-depth on operator-entered config.
- UI (index.html + session-ui.js): SSH Port field + collapsible "Advanced SSH"
section (identity, SOCKS proxy, jump host, extra -o options one per line);
wired into the remote-host create payload.
Empty-options remotes emit byte-identical ssh to before (pinned by test).
Tests: test/remote-ssh-options.test.ts (buildSshConnectionArgs +
buildRemoteLaunchCommand + buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand for the aa-desktop set,
escaping/%h %p/identity-~ expansion, byte-identical back-compat); case-routes
schema tests (advanced options round-trip; malformed extraSshOptions/socksProxy
rejected). tsc/eslint/frontend-syntax/prettier/build clean.
Acceptance (real remote, no wrapper): the emitted command connected to
aa-desktop through the cloudflared SOCKS proxy and created a durable remote
tmux session (verified independently via ssh-aa-desktop: CONNECTED_NO_WRAPPER,
STILL_ALIVE_AFTER_DETACH); checkRemoteTmuxAvailable over the proxy returned
{ok:true, tmuxPath:/usr/local/bin/tmux}; test session cleaned up.
Point 1 of the v1.0 lock-in: commit to a stable HTTP API (the cleanest, fullest form).
Core (centralized):
- Every JSON /api response now uses ONE envelope via a Fastify preSerialization hook (src/web/server.ts): success -> { success:true, data:<payload> }; error -> { success:false, error, errorCode } with a conventional HTTP status. Non-JSON routes (file-raw, tail-file SSE, download, screenshots, /q redirect, WS) are skipped.
- Error-code -> HTTP status is a single source of truth (httpStatusForErrorCode in src/types/api.ts): 400/401/404/409/422/429/500. Expanded ApiErrorCode (added UNAUTHORIZED, CONFLICT, RATE_LIMITED). Errors are no longer HTTP 200.
- Versioned alias: /api/v1/* rewrites to /api/* (rewriteApiV1Url), so external clients pin to a stable surface while the bundled UI keeps using /api/*.
- Handlers stripped of manual 'success:true' (50 across 14 route files) so they return bare payloads the hook wraps uniformly; fixed the mux DELETE {success:<bool>} envelope collision (-> {killed}).
Frontend (48 call sites across 10 files):
- _apiJson() auto-unwraps { success:true, data } -> data (null on error), so most bare-shape readers are transparent. Raw-fetch sites relocate payload reads under .data; success/res.ok/error checks unchanged.
Docs: new docs/api-reference.md (envelope, status table, error codes, /api/v1, SSE); versioning-policy.md flipped — the HTTP/SSE API is now part of the stable, SemVer-covered surface.
Verification: full unit/route suite green (2680 passed) incl. ~166 updated assertions across 24 test files; typecheck/lint/format/frontend-syntax clean; a headless-chromium smoke loaded the migrated UI and drove the panels with 0 console/page errors; /api/status and /api/v1/status confirmed returning the uniform envelope live.

* fix(test): share route error handler with test harness + fix stale assertions
The route test harness built a bare Fastify instance without the production
global error handler (server.ts), so structured errors thrown by route helpers
(findSessionOrFail → 404, parseBody → 400) fell through to Fastify's default
handler — yielding a `{statusCode,error,message}` body instead of the
`{success:false,...}` shape, and the tests asserted the old implicit-200
behavior. 51 route tests across 7 files were red.
- Extract the handler into src/web/route-error-handler.ts; server.ts and the
test harness now install the identical handler (single source of truth).
- Correct stale assertions across route test files: throw-based error paths
now assert 404 (unknown session) / 400 (invalid body); genuine in-handler
`return createErrorResponse(...)` paths (200 + success:false) left untouched.
- Reformat a few test files prettier flagged (pre-existing non-compliance).
Route suite: 307/307 passing (was 256/307). No production behavior change.
* test(respawn): mock child_process so AI checker never spawns real processes
respawn-controller.test.ts drives the AI idle checker (ai-checker-base), whose
runCheck() spawns a real `tmux new-session` running `claude -p`. The AI-enabled
tests only assert the ai_checking state transition (then cancel/stop), so the
spawn produced stray real tmux sessions and claude processes on every run — the
reason `npm test` (full suite) was unsafe to run inside a managed session.
Mock node:child_process here (mirroring ai-idle-checker.test.ts), spreading the
real module so `exec` stays intact for transitively-imported modules
(tmux-manager calls promisify(exec) at load). With this, the full non-mobile
suite runs without spawning any real tmux/claude.
