Threads per-user ownership through sessions, cases, cron, and the permission
policy. All scoping is a no-op in single-user mode (isMultiUserMode() guards).
Sessions
- Session.owner stamped at every create path from req.authUser / job.owner:
POST /api/sessions, /api/run, /api/quick-start, ralph start, cron launch,
plan generation. Round-trips through recovery (MuxSession.owner mirror, read
muxSession.owner ?? savedState?.owner) and the mux layer.
- findSessionOrFail(ctx, id, req) now does a NOT_FOUND owner check (never 403, so
other users' session existence is not leaked); wired at ~50 call sites.
- List endpoints filtered by owner: GET /api/sessions, /api/sessions/unified
(live+persisted+lifecycle scoped, host-wide transcripts admin-only), cron jobs.
Permission policy (section 6.3)
- resolveClaudeModeForUsername wraps getClaudeModeConfig at every spawn site so a
non-granted user is forced to --permission-mode auto (bypass -> auto), including
recovery (or a reboot would un-downgrade). buildPromptArgs now respects the
session's claudeMode, closing the one-shot (runPrompt) bypass hole.
- Shell mode and cron launchCommand require canBypassPermissions: 403 at
POST /api/sessions, /api/quick-start create, cron job create, AND cron fire time
(re-checked against the owner's current grant).
Cases
- resolveCasesDir(user): per-user ~/codeman-users/<name>/cases in multi-user, the
shared ~/codeman-cases otherwise. All case CRUD + ralph + plan + quick-start
resolve through it. resolveCasePath is owner-aware.
- GET /api/cases scoped per user (own folders; legacy linked cases admin-only;
remote/docker cases owner-filtered). RemoteCase/DockerCase gain owner, stamped
at link/quickcreate/import.
- Remote + Docker host CRUD is admin-only.
- Non-admin workingDir confinement (the linchpin): realpath must resolve inside the
user's space, enforced at POST /api/sessions and /api/run BEFORE any disk write.
Limits
- sessionCapacityState / sessionCapacityMessage centralize the global + per-user
cap (CODEMAN_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_USER, default global/2), replacing the 6 copy-pasted
MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS checks.
Tests: test/ownership-scoping.test.ts (case isolation, host-CRUD gate, workingDir +
shell gates, and the scoping helpers). Deferred to phase 4: WS owner gate, SSE
fan-out filtering, file-route preview/thumbnail helper scoping, push routing.

The Ralph settings modal sent maxTodos/todoExpirationMinutes but RalphConfigSchema
(zod) stripped them and the ralph-config route never applied them, so the inputs
were silent no-ops.
Fix: add both as optional positive-int fields to RalphConfigSchema; destructure
and apply them in the ralph-config route (matching the maxIterations pattern).
RalphTracker had no setters (the values were module constants) — added per-instance
_maxTodos/_todoExpiryMs (defaulting to the same constants, behavior unchanged),
switched the eviction + expiry sites to read them, and added
setMaxTodos/setTodoExpirationMinutes (minutes→ms) + getters.
Test: route test POSTs the two fields and asserts the route applies them to the
tracker. Verified RED (setters not called — fields stripped) → GREEN. 34/34
ralph-routes tests pass; tsc + eslint(src) + prettier + build clean. Frontend
already sent the fields (no change).
cmdPattern's empty-matchable unbounded arg group backtracked exponentially
on wrapped heredoc/table lines — hovering one froze the tab for minutes.
Non-empty tokens + bounded reps make it O(n); regression test extracts the
shipped patterns and pins timing on the real killer shapes.
worker-src 'self' blob: is now unconditional so terminal-ui's _safeYield
tick worker (throttling escape) isn't CSP-blocked on non-gesture installs.

Blocker: runCodex read raw response shapes, but the global
preSerialization hook (server.ts) wraps every payload in the
{ success, data } envelope — status.available was always undefined, so
the UI unconditionally printed "Codex CLI not found" and could never
start a session; the created session was also never auto-selected
(data.sessionId vs data.data.sessionId). Fixed both reads to match
runOpenCode, and updated the test mocks to the real wire shape (plus a
selectSession assertion) so envelope drift fails the test.
Guard parity: export isExternalCliMode() from session.ts and use it in
the ralph-config guard, all three respawn guards, and the six restore/
setup guards in server.ts that previously only excluded 'opencode' —
codex sessions could otherwise get a Ralph tracker or respawn
controller attached (idle detection is Claude-specific and output-
silence respawn cycling would misfire on a quiet codex TUI).
UI parity: cx tab badge, "Kill Tmux & Codex" dialog title, and the
missing CSS (.run-mode-dot.codex, .tab-mode.codex, .mode-codex button
colors — purple) so the Codex menu dot is no longer invisible. Removed
the dead object-literal runMode getter that Object.assign flattens
(superseded by the defineProperty accessor this PR adds).
Verified end-to-end on an isolated instance with a stub codex binary:
10/10 Playwright checks (menu/dot/label/button styling, session
created + auto-selected, cx badge, TUI output streamed, ralph+respawn
guards reject codex) and --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox
+ --model observed on the spawned command line.

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.

CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL hard-locks effort for the whole session and makes
Claude reject in-session /effort switching (incl. ultracode). Carry effort
as a dedicated payload field instead, injected at spawn as a soft default:
- regular levels (incl. max) -> claude --effort <level>
(the settings effortLevel key is enum([low,medium,high,xhigh]) with
.catch(undefined), so max would be silently dropped there)
- ultracode -> claude --settings '{"ultracode":true}'
(dedicated boolean settings key, rejected by the --effort flag)
Changes:
- add effort enum field to create/quick-start/ralph-loop schemas and thread
it through Session -> CreateSessionOptions/RespawnPaneOptions -> spawn
- buildEffortCliArgs() in session-cli-builder, shared by tmux spawn command
and direct-PTY fallback args
- frontend: buildEnvOverrides() no longer emits CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL;
validated effort goes into payloads via getEffortSetting()
- settings UI: add Ultracode option to the Thinking Effort dropdown
- legacy migration: Session constructor extracts CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL
from persisted envOverrides; applyEnvOverrides() unsets the stale tmux
session var so respawned panes are no longer locked
- tests: test/effort-injection.test.ts (13 cases)

CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL (and any CLAUDE_CODE_* / OPENCODE_* key) now flows:
UI dropdown → POST /api/sessions { envOverrides }
→ new Session({ envOverrides })
→ this._envOverrides
→ tmux-manager.buildEnvExports appends `export KEY=<shellescape(VALUE)>`
Previously the API wrote envOverrides to <case>/.claude/settings.local.json, which
created stale state (UI dropdown disagreeing with disk) and polluted user project
directories. Now envOverrides are ephemeral spawn-time state, preserved across
respawnPane cycles via this._envOverrides and across server restart via
SessionState.envOverrides in state.json.
Also removes the now-unused updateCaseEnvVars import from session-routes.ts.
Allow users to leave the default model unset, so sessions use whatever
the Claude CLI defaults to rather than forcing a specific model.
- Add empty-value "Default (CLI default)" option to the model dropdown
- Treat empty string as undefined when passing model to Session
- Apply consistently across session creation, quick-start, and Ralph
* refactor: extract SSE event handlers into named class methods
Replace ~80 inline addListener closures in connectSSE() with a
declarative _SSE_HANDLER_MAP array that drives registration in a
single loop. Each handler is now a named _on* method on CodemanApp,
making them individually addressable for LLM navigation.
Add SSE_EVENTS constant object in constants.js to eliminate magic
event-type strings scattered across the frontend.

Split 6,710-line server.ts into focused route modules using port
interfaces for dependency injection. 107/109 routes extracted into
12 domain files with auth middleware, 5 port interfaces, and shared
helpers. Server.ts retains orchestration (SSE, lifecycle, state).
