Found while verifying Auto Copy in a browser: a plain left click in a
claude/codex/gemini pane sent a synthetic SGR mouse report into the PTY
whether or not the program in that pane had ever enabled mouse tracking.
When the pane holds a plain shell (the CLI exited, or a shell was started
inside a session of that mode) readline prints the report as literal text
and it garbles the next line typed:
$ [<0;88;20Mecho hello
bash: 0: No such file or directory
The cause is that the browser could not know. The full strip
(isAltScreenStripMode) removes the mouse DECSETs from the stream, so
xterm's modes.mouseTrackingMode is permanently 'none' for those modes and
_sendSyntheticSgrTap() hand-encodes reports to stand in for xterm's own
encoder. With no state to consult it had to do that on every click.
What the strip removes, the server now remembers.
_recordStrippedMouseMode() records each sequence as it is stripped,
toState() publishes it as cliMouseTracking, and the browser's
_shouldReportMouseToCli() (renamed from _sessionUsesServerMouseStrip)
requires it at all three report sites: the desktop click, the touchend
tap, and the mobile tap classifier.
Details that are easy to get wrong:
* Only the tracking modes count (1000/1001/1002/1003). 1005/1006 select
an encoding and 1007 is alt-scroll; a CLI that picks SGR encoding
without turning tracking on is not asking about clicks, and counting
those would put the stray reports straight back.
* Modes are held in a Set, so a TUI disabling a mode it never enabled
cannot clear the ones that are really on.
* The change broadcasts immediately instead of through
broadcastSessionStateDebounced: the flag flips when a dialog opens, and
the user can click that dialog well inside the 500ms debounce window.
* It fails toward silence. After a server restart the flag is false until
the CLI re-emits its DECSET, which tmux does at client attach.
Verified against a live claude 2.x session: the CLI holds a tracking mode
on continuously, so its clicks are still reported byte for byte as
before, while a bash prompt in the same stripped mode now reports
nothing and types cleanly. The flag also propagates live over SSE in both
directions, checked by toggling ?1002h/?1002l from inside the pane.

App Settings > Terminal & Input > Selection & clipboard > Auto Copy
Selection (`autoCopySelection`, per-device, default OFF). With it on,
highlighting text in the terminal copies it: mouse drag, double-click
word, triple-click line, and the phone long-press selection. Ctrl+C is
untouched and still copies on demand.
Three things decide the shape of it:
* It fires at the END of a gesture, never in onSelectionChange. That
callback runs for every cell a drag crosses, so copying there would be
one clipboard write per mouse move. It only arms a pending flag; a
document-level mouseup listener flushes, and the touch path calls the
flush itself because it preventDefaults its touchend and no mouseup
ever arrives there.
* The flush is synchronous inside the handler, because both clipboard
paths need user activation: Firefox gates navigator.clipboard
.writeText on it, and execCommand('copy'), the fallback the plain-HTTP
LAN install lands on, has to run in the gesture's own task. A timer or
a wait for onSelectionChange loses it, invisibly in Chrome.
* It deliberately does NOT do what copyTerminalSelection() does. That
one clears the selection (so a second Ctrl+C is an interrupt) and
focuses the terminal. Clearing would make text vanish under the cursor
that just highlighted it, and focusing opens the on-screen keyboard
over it on a phone. Focus is instead restored to whatever held it,
which only matters for the execCommand fallback.
Guards are pure in decideAutoCopy() (constants.js): off, blank or
whitespace-only text, and a 1M-char cap, since a drag off the top of the
viewport autoscrolls and one gesture can sweep the whole 50k-line
scrollback. Past the cap the copy is refused rather than truncated, with
a toast pointing at Ctrl+C.
Feedback is silent on success except once per page load, so a feature
that works by doing nothing visible can still be told from a dead
toggle; failures and refusals toast, throttled to 10s.
Per-device on both counts the settings rule requires: in `displayKeys`
and absent from the .strict() SettingsUpdateSchema, because clipboard
access differs by device and by origin.

The last two items of #322: copyTerminal() copied the entire buffer but
was wired to no button, shortcut or call site anywhere, and it wrote
through navigator.clipboard directly, which is undefined on the
plain-HTTP LAN install, so it would have failed there even if it were
reachable. Everything that actually copies goes through
copyTerminalSelection() and _copyText's execCommand fallback; whole-
buffer copy, should anyone want it, is a selectAll() away from that
same working path.
Closes#322

An agent's numbered list wraps its URL, and the link opened a PREFIX of it:
1. https://github.com/users/someone/packages/container/p
ackage/thing
opened `…/container/p`. The provider already stitched hard wraps — Ink emits a real
newline, so nothing is flagged `isWrapped` and a row that fills the last column is
taken as continuing — but it joined the row texts VERBATIM, and the continuation
carries the list's own three-space indent. That whitespace lands in the middle of
the token, which is exactly where the URL pattern stops. Flush-left wrapped URLs
(Claude Code's own `/login`) worked, which is why this survived.
The touch-selection helpers had the shallower version of the same bug: they walked
`isWrapped` only, so `Line` grabbed the single row on screen rather than the
logical line, and a long-press on a wrapped token selected only its visible half.
So the reconstruction now lives in ONE place, `terminalLogicalLine` in
constants.js, and both consumers use it — the link provider matching patterns over
its text and the selection helpers measuring words and lines with it. A link that
spans a wrap and a `Line` that stops at the screen edge were the same bug twice.
The helper drops the leading whitespace of a HARD continuation (the program's
indent) and keeps that of a SOFT one (the emulator inserts nothing, so it is real
content), records the dropped width per segment so the offset↔cell mapping stays
exact in both directions, trims only the final row so earlier offsets stay aligned
to cells, and keeps the 12-row bound that stops a screenful of full-width output
from being re-scanned on every hover.
⚠️ Selection spans are computed in CELLS, not text offsets: an xterm selection is
one contiguous run, so a token spanning a hard wrap also covers the indent cells
between its halves. A run that skipped them cannot be expressed, and would not
match what is highlighted.
Tests: `test/terminal-logical-line.test.ts` (8 cases: the indent drop, resolving
from either row, both mapping directions, soft continuations kept verbatim, no
over-reach past a short row, the row bound, final-row trimming, a missing row) and
5 in `terminal-touch-tap.test.ts` (the whole URL from either row, a token selected
across the wrap, `Line` spanning both rows, no reach into the next line). Removing
either half of the fix reds 5 and 8 of them respectively.

There was no way to copy terminal text from a phone at all, and three layers
ruled it out independently: `user-select: none` across the whole terminal subtree
on touch devices (taps are cursor gestures there, so the OS callout had to go),
the WebGL renderer drawing glyphs as pixels with only the accessibility tree
behind them, and xterm's own selection being a mouse DRAG while the touch path
dispatches a zero-movement mousedown/mouseup pair — a click. `copyTerminal()`
exists but is wired to no button and calls `navigator.clipboard` directly, which
is undefined on the plain-HTTP LAN install the installer offers.
So the gesture drives xterm's `select()` directly: public API, renderer-
independent, and the highlight is drawn by xterm itself. Long-press is free real
estate — tap and swipe are taken, long-press and double-tap are used by nothing.
- **Long-press** (350ms, finger still within the shared tap slop) selects the
run of non-whitespace under the finger. Whitespace is the only delimiter on
purpose: every punctuation-aware word rule cuts a path, URL or hash in half,
which is what you came to copy.
- **Drag** while held extends the selection; touchmove diverts from scrolling.
- **Tap** while the bar is up extends it too. That is the ergonomic core:
picking up a 4px handle with a fingertip is a coin flip, tapping the other end
is not. Dismissal stays explicit (✕ or Copy), so no tap is spent leaving a mode
the user is still using.
- **Copy** goes through the existing `copyTerminalSelection()`, so it inherits
the execCommand fallback that is the only route that works on plain HTTP.
- **Line** takes the whole logical line, wraps included, trailing pad trimmed.
Three guards are what make the gesture survive contact with a real phone, and
each fixes a symptom measured on Android Chrome:
1. **The compat mouse pair after touchend.** xterm focuses from its screen-element
mousedown and SelectionService resets the model there, so lifting your finger
popped the keyboard and dissolved the selection in one go. The tap path already
had a guard for those events; the selection path simply never armed it. Armed
now, and the touchend is `preventDefault`ed so the synthesis is stopped at the
source (that listener is no longer passive).
2. **The platform's own long-press.** Android Chrome runs its handling at ~500ms
and focuses the nearest editable element — xterm's helper textarea, parked at
the cursor — which no touch handler can preventDefault because it never sees an
event. A focus guard blurs the terminal input for the duration of the gesture,
whatever focused it, bounded by a self-expiring deadline so a stuck flag can
never leave the keyboard unreachable. `contextmenu` is suppressed for the same
window, and the threshold sits at 350ms so it lands clear of the platform's.
3. **Copy re-focusing the terminal.** `copyTerminalSelection()` ends with
`terminal.focus()`, which is right on a desktop and wrong on a phone: the
keyboard covers what was just copied with nothing waiting to be typed.
The bar is built in JS because index.html is read once at server start, and its
styles live in styles.css rather than mobile.css because the gesture is
touch-driven, not width-driven — a touch tablet in landscape gets the gesture and
would otherwise have no bar to copy from.
12 tests in `terminal-touch-tap.test.ts` cover the word rule, forward and
backward extension, cross-row selection, Line, tap-to-extend, the copy path, and
each of the three guards including the focus guard's expiry.

On a phone no link was openable, on either surface, for two unrelated reasons.
**Terminal.** xterm resolves the link under the pointer on `mousemove` and
activates it on `mouseup` over its SCREEN element. A touch tap delivers neither:
`touch-action: none` on the terminal subtree plus touchstart's preventDefault for
a 'content' tap suppress the browser's compatibility mouse events,
`_installMobileTapMouseGuard` drops the trusted ones that still arrive inside the
450ms tap window, and the synthetic mousedown/mouseup pair dispatched for mouse
REPORTING goes to the `.xterm` root — an ancestor of the node the linkifier
listens on, so it cannot reach it — and carries no mousemove either way. Every
URL and file path in the terminal was therefore inert on phones and tablets,
Claude Code's own `/login` URL included.
The tap path now activates the link itself, through the SAME provider that feeds
the hover linkifier (`_terminalLinkAtPoint`), so a tap and a desktop click can
never disagree about what is a link or where it ends — containment mirrors
xterm's own `_linkAtPosition`. It runs synchronously inside the touchend handler,
which is what keeps the user gesture that lets `window.open` past the popup
blocker, and before any mouse report, exactly as `_handleDesktopTerminalClick`
already skips the SGR tap for a hovered link.
Two kinds of row keep their existing meaning: the caret's logical line, where a
tap places the cursor and a URL the user typed must stay editable, and TUI-owned
rows, where a numbered choice or an expandable readback is answering a dialog and
routinely carries the very path the tap would otherwise open. The caret line is
the boundary rather than the tap intent, because a plain shell classifies EVERY
tap as 'input' and gating on that would leave every URL in shell output inert.
**Chat.** `marked` emits a bare `<a href>` and the markdown sanitizer's allowlist
carries no `target`, so a tap in the response viewer navigated the current tab
away: on a phone that unloads the whole dashboard — SSE, terminal buffers, unsent
composer text — and there is no middle-click or open-in-new-tab affordance to
work around it. `_renderMarkdown` now decorates anchors in the template pass it
already makes for code blocks. That pass runs AFTER sanitizing, so it is the only
source of both attributes: an agent-authored `target`/`rel` is already stripped,
and `rel="noopener noreferrer"` is set on the same element in the same breath, so
no page Codeman opens gets a `window.opener` handle back. Fragment links stay
in-page; mailto:/tel: are left to the OS rather than stranding an empty tab.
Tests: 10 cases in `terminal-touch-tap.test.ts` (URL, file path, log path,
scrollback, no-double-report, composer, shell mode, dialog row, no provider) and
a new `response-viewer-external-links.test.ts` driving the shipped marked +
DOMPurify + app.js. 7 of them fail without the fix.

Shell prompts using Nerd Font glyphs (powerline, p10k/starship folder and
git icons) rendered as missing-glyph boxes: the built-in xterm stack has no
private-use-area symbols, and phones have no Nerd Fonts installed at all.
- Bundle Symbols Nerd Font Mono (icons-only, MIT, 1.2MB woff2) served from
fonts/ and appended to the terminal stack before monospace — browsers fall
back per glyph, so icons render everywhere while text stays in the text
fonts. font-display: block + preload keep tofu out of xterm's glyph atlas.
- New per-device terminalFontFamily setting (App Settings > Terminal &
Input > Font): prepended to the built-in stack, never a replacement, so
the symbols fallback and final monospace always survive. Applied live on
save (refit + echo-overlay refreshFont, mirroring setFontSize).
- Single source for both xterm surfaces: TERMINAL_FONT_DEFAULT_STACK +
resolveTerminalFontFamily() in constants.js, unit-tested.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VjnbbZRBuvR5E3SDouwXr9
Brings in https://github.com/christianhaberl/Codeman/pull/4 (three commits,
authorship preserved) and adapts it across the 211 commits master gained
since the branch was cut:
- App Settings control re-authored for the set-* surface (PR #278): a
set-row in Layout -> Tabs, replacing the old settings-item markup the
branch targeted. i18n description synced.
- Lineage arcs (PR #291, post-branch) are SKIPPED in sidebar layout:
computeLineagePath()'s U-bridge geometry hangs from the horizontal
strip's bottom edge and has no meaning against a vertical list. The
lineage strip-scroll listener now also redraws subagent/ultracode
connectors while the sidebar scrolls vertically.
- The desktop home tab rail (post-branch) defers to the sidebar: both dock
the session list flush left, and the rail would render z-ordered under it.
- Active-row reveal unified into _scrollActiveTabIntoView() (#257 landed on
master after the branch): sidebar mode branches to scrollIntoView
block:'nearest', and _fullRenderSessionTabs() restores scrollTop alongside
the #257 scrollLeft restore so ambient rebuilds cannot yank a mid-scroll
sidebar back to the top.
- Mobile active-tab hoisting the branch guarded against no longer exists on
master (removed by #257); kept master's order-stable render.
Verified: typecheck, lint, format:check, check:frontend-syntax,
check:public-assets, PostCSS parse of both merged stylesheets, the 26 new
jsdom tests, the structural guard suites, and the headless-Chromium harness
(scripts/verify-session-sidebar.mts) green across all seven layout states
at 1600/1000/393px against current master.

A .json/.log/.yaml/code path outside the session workspace was refused as an
unsupported type, and clicking one in the terminal made it worse: text goes to
the log viewer, which spawns `tail -f` and allows only the workspace, /var/log
and ~/logs, so it answered "Path must be within working directory or allowed
log directories" while the same path clicked in the response viewer previewed
fine. Two surfaces, two answers, for a file the session can already cat.
- TEXT_ATTACHMENT_EXTENSIONS IS EDITABLE_EXTENSIONS (config/file-editing.ts),
not a second curated list that would drift from it. The rule reads: if the
viewer would open a file for editing inside the workspace, the same file
outside it can be read. The suffix was never the confidentiality gate here,
the path guard is (sensitive-file blocklist, /root and /etc trees, realpath
before the check), and it still runs on every registration.
- Widening what can be READ must not widen what can RUN. html/htm join svg in
serveRawFile's download-only branch, so markup is never served with a
renderable type on our own origin; other text goes out as inert
text/plain; charset=utf-8 with nosniff, matching what the path picker does.
The preview reads through fetch(), which ignores the disposition, so a
clicked .html still shows its source.
- ~/.codeman*/state.json joins isSensitivePath. It persists
SessionState.envOverrides and the env allowlist admits key-shaped names
(GEMINI_API_KEY, CLAUDE_CODE_*), so it can hold a live credential. Same
treatment as hook-secret and users.json, and the rest of the tree stays
attachable.
- The terminal sends an out-of-workspace path to the preview instead of the log
viewer. In-workspace text keeps the tail viewer, which is the point of it, and
file-stream-manager's allowlist is untouched: no `tail -f` on arbitrary host
paths.
- The by-id text preview is bounded like the workspace one: a Range request for
the first 512KB (a real partial read, not a discarded 50MB download) plus a
500-line cap, with the footer saying so.
Verified on an isolated instance: a 1.1MB external log opens in ~1.8s showing
500 lines with "showing first 500 lines" in the footer; json, yaml and code
preview; an .html carrying a script tag renders as source and does not execute;
.svg is still refused; a terminal click on an external .yaml opens the preview
with no log viewer and no attachment card; an in-workspace .log still opens the
streaming tail viewer.

A path an agent prints was already underlined in the terminal, but clicking
one opened the preview overlay on "File not found": file-content/file-raw
resolve against the session workingDir and refuse anything outside it, and the
paths agents print most (a /tmp capture, Claude's own scratchpad, another
checkout) are outside it by definition. In the response viewer those paths were
not links at all.
- openFilePreview() detects an out-of-workspace path and registers it through
POST /api/sessions/:id/attachments first, rendering by attachment id. That is
the surface built for live external files, so the server-side guard is
unchanged: secret trees blocked, symlinks resolved, extension allowlist. The
workspace routes keep refusing escapes exactly as before.
- New optional `notify` field on that route. `notify: false` suppresses only the
attachment:detected broadcast, so a click does not also pop a card announcing
the file already filling the screen. Default stays true for the CLI and
publish callers.
- _linkifyFilePaths() links paths in rendered response-viewer markdown. It walks
text nodes and builds anchors with DOM APIs (the source is model output; never
a string rebuild of sanitized markup), skips subtrees already inside an <a>,
and keeps the message text byte-identical so copy-code is unaffected.
- One path pattern in constants.js now feeds both the xterm link provider and
the chat linkifier, a fresh instance per call since lastIndex is per-object
state. It picks up /Users and /mnt roots (nothing was clickable on macOS or
WSL), plus docx/pptx and video/audio extensions.
- .file-preview-overlay moves to z-index 5100, above the response viewer at
5000. At its old 2000 a path clicked in the chat opened the overlay behind the
panel it was launched from.
Verified end to end on an isolated instance, desktop and phone viewport: real
clicks in the terminal and the chat both render the image, external md and pdf
render, /etc/hosts is still refused, workspace previews unchanged.

Closes#259, closes#258. Both bottom out in the same gap: nothing tracked
whether the user was following live output or reading history.
#259 — the keyboard path forced the terminal to the bottom unconditionally
(onKeyboardShow/onKeyboardHide passed scrollToBottom:true, applied with no
check), so opening the keyboard while scrolled up yanked the user down. The
settle cycle now captures intent on its FIRST event, before any fit() has
reflowed the buffer, and returns to that anchor when the user was reading.
A later capture would read an already-moved viewportY, which is why the
capture point matters. The param is renamed restoreScroll to match.
Separately, flushPendingWrites gated viewport preservation on
_hasRecentUserScrollUp(), a 1500ms decay window, so a user who scrolled up and
then actually READ for longer lost protection mid-read. Being scrolled up IS
the intent however long ago it was expressed, so it now keys off position.
The recency window stays as a race guard on the sticky scroll-to-bottom.
The full-history repull already held the user's place and is unchanged.
#258 — truncation was reported by a grey line written INTO the terminal
("earlier output truncated"), which scrolls away with the output it describes,
cannot be acted on, and said the same thing whether the rest was one click away
or gone forever. The server set one `truncated` boolean at two sites meaning
opposite things, and the client discarded fullSize and source entirely.
The route now reports truncationReason ('tail' = intentional partial replay,
the rest is retained; 'capped' = the byte ceiling dropped it) plus
retainedBytes, and 'capped' is not downgraded by a later tail cut. The client
renders a dismissible banner outside terminal output with three honest states:
recoverable (offers Load full history), at-ceiling, and exhausted. The Load
button forces past the scroll cooldown but NOT past _replayWouldShrinkBuffer,
which still refuses a downgrade for repaint-mode panes.
The banner is an overlay, not a flex child: FitAddon derives rows/cols from the
terminal parent's computed height, so occupying real layout space would SIGWINCH
the CLI on every truncation-state change.
Verified in a real browser on the 7 skins: banner text and button clear 4.5:1
contrast on all of them, and terminal height is byte-identical with the banner
shown. The first cut used --bg-elevated and --accent-muted, which do not exist,
so light skins rendered a hardcoded dark bar under dark text; it now uses only
tokens every skin redefines.
test/terminal-scroll-intent.test.ts lives outside test/mobile/ deliberately —
that suite is excluded from test:ci, so a guard placed there is invisible to CI.

SessionMode gains 'pi', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
OpenCode, Codex, Gemini and Antigravity: its own PTY, tmux session, rose
tab identity, welcome button, run-mode entry, cron agentType, Docker and
remote-SSH command defaults, and clone-repo Brain option.
Pi is a different shape of CLI from the other four, and three decisions
follow from that:
- It has NO permission prompts and no sandbox, so there is no
--dangerously-skip-permissions analog and none was invented. The
privilege-shaped knob is the tri-state approveProjectTrust, which makes
pi load and EXECUTE repo-local .pi/extensions TypeScript and install
missing project packages. clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() therefore
puts pi in the MATERIALIZE branch: a non-granted multi-user owner gets
--no-approve even when no config was sent, because pi's own default is
a prompt the session user could answer themselves. That helper had zero
test coverage; it now has coverage for all four CLIs.
- Only the PI_ prefix joins the env allowlist. Pi's ~34 provider key vars
share no prefix and ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES is one global list with no mode
context, so admitting them would widen the allowlist for every mode at
once. Auth goes through pi's /login or the server's own environment.
--api-key is deliberately never wired: it would put a provider secret on
the spawn command line.
- pi stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode(). Its default TUI renders into the
main screen with terminal-owned scrollback, and its 0.84.0 fullscreen
mode is runtime-switchable via /settings; that flip was measured to put
the pane into the alt screen, which the strip would have corrupted.
pi-cli-resolver.ts additionally sanity-probes `pi --version` and requires
semver-shaped output, because `pi` is a short generic name a stray binary
can shadow; GET /api/pi/status surfaces path and version so a
misresolution is diagnosable rather than presenting as a broken mode.
Docker installs pi in its own --ignore-scripts step so that flag cannot
affect the other four CLIs, and seeds its credentials per-file rather than
whole-dir (~/.pi/agent also holds sessions, extensions and package trees).
Verified end to end against pi 0.84.1 on an isolated instance: resolver
search-dir fallback, flag construction, piConfig persistence across a full
server restart, the trust prompt and its --no-approve suppression, the
rose Run button on the default daylight-blue skin (the nested skin block
eats per-mode gradients unless the rule lives inside it), and the buffer
local-echo policy, which pi tolerates where codex did not.

#279 and #280 auto-merge cleanly, but the merged result was red: neither
branch could see the other, and CI cannot see either, because the only test
covering #279 lives in test/mobile/** which test:ci excludes.
Two problems, both in #279's test:
1. The in-terminal case tapped the terminal's top-left corner, i.e. an inert
transcript row, and asserted focus was retained. That is precisely the
gesture #280 redefines, so #280 turned it red. Aim it at the PROMPT row
instead: the one in-terminal tap whose outcome neither PR claims, so it
still proves the #terminalContainer exemption without asserting the
toggle's behaviour.
2. The "a real control is exempt" case was VACUOUS. It picked the first
button measuring >8px, which is .welcome-ralph-link inside the welcome
overlay hideWelcome() had already hidden: the rect still measures, but
elementFromPoint at that point returns .xterm-screen, so the case tapped
the TERMINAL and passed for the wrong reason. It only surfaced because
#280 changed what a terminal tap does. Require the sampled point to
actually resolve to the button, and fail loudly when no control is
usable rather than silently asserting nothing.
Mutation-checked: removing the install, the #terminalContainer exemption,
the control exemption or the `if (moved) return` scroll guard each turns
the test red on its own. The control exemption had no coverage before.
Also fold the duplicated tap slop into one constant: initTerminal's
TAP_THRESHOLD now reads MOBILE_KEYBOARD_DISMISS_TAP_SLOP instead of
re-declaring 8, since a drift between them is exactly the bug the second
#279 commit fixed. And restore the comment the slop constant was inserted
into the middle of, which left "Regions where a tap must NOT dismiss"
sitting above the slop rather than the selector it documents.
test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts: 5 failed | 47 passed (52). Master is
5 failed | 46 passed (51) — the same five pre-existing failures.

Every terminal tap re-focuses the hidden textarea, so once the on-screen keyboard
is open the only way to close it is the accessory bar's dismiss chevron. Tapping
the transcript to get the screen back is the obvious gesture and it did nothing.
A tap on INERT content with the keyboard already up now dismisses it. Nothing
else claims that gesture: an inert row has no action to trigger, so by that point
the tap has already done its only other job (the mouse report).
Scoped to 'content' ON PURPOSE. The prompt row ('input') keeps
focus-then-position, so a second tap there still places the caret — that is real
capability and trading it away would be a worse deal than the bug. A separate
test pins it rather than leaving it to the reader.
Actionable rows are unchanged: readbacks, "esc to interrupt" status rows and menu
selections still blur via _isActionableMobileTerminalTap, which runs first.
`keeps the hidden keyboard input focused after an inert Claude transcript tap`
asserted the OLD behaviour and is renamed and inverted, since revising that
behaviour is the point of this change. Its setup already focused the terminal
before tapping, so it was always exercising the second-tap case.
test/terminal-touch-tap.test.ts: 28 tests. The two new ones fail on master —
`closes the keyboard on a second tap of INERT transcript content` behaviourally,
by asserting blur where master re-focuses.
test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts: 51 tests, 5 failed | 46 passed — the same five
pre-existing failures as master, untouched here.

Regression from the dismiss handler in #279: it fired on any touchend,
and a scroll ends in touchend too. Scrolling to read something while composing
closed the keyboard and dropped the composer — worse than the bug it fixed.
Track finger travel from touchstart and only treat a near-stationary gesture as
a tap, using the same 8px TAP_THRESHOLD the terminal's own touch handling uses
so both agree on tap-vs-scroll. Multi-touch is never a dismissing tap.
All three listeners stay passive; nothing calls preventDefault.
Measured on a Pixel-class viewport with a Firefox UA:
tap -> dismissed
scroll (120px) -> keyboard kept
micro-drift (4px) -> dismissed, so an imprecise tap still works

On a phone the terminal holds focus on a hidden textarea, and nothing ever
released it. Once the keyboard was up, tapping the header, the tab strip or any
empty page chrome left it up — covering roughly half the screen with no in-app
way to dismiss it.
Repro, iPhone-class viewport (390x844), claude-mode session, focus the terminal
then tap the header logo:
| | document.activeElement after the tap |
| --- | --- |
| master | textarea.xterm-helper-textarea (keyboard stays up) |
| this branch | body (keyboard closes) |
A document-level touchend handler blurs the terminal input, deliberately scoped
so focus is never stolen from something that wants it:
- only when the terminal input actually holds focus;
- never inside #terminalContainer — _handleMobileTerminalTap already classifies
and routes those taps and owns that decision;
- never on a control. Anything focusable or clickable is about to take focus
itself, and the keyboard accessory bar exists to be used WHILE the keyboard is
open, so dismissing there would fight the user.
Bound to touchend rather than click: a tap meant to dismiss usually is not meant
to activate what sits underneath, and touchend fires before the synthesized
click so the blur lands first. The listener is passive — it never calls
preventDefault.
Test: `dismisses the on-screen keyboard when a tap lands outside the terminal`
in test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts. It fails on master with a BEHAVIOURAL assertion
(`expected 'xterm-helper-textarea' not to contain 'xterm-helper-textarea'`),
not a TypeError, and passes here. It drives real dispatched touch events rather
than calling the helper, because the handler is bound on document and a direct
call would bypass the routing under test.
test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts: 52 tests, 5 failed | 47 passed. Master is 51 tests,
5 failed | 46 passed — the same five pre-existing failures (stale layout and
accessory-bar expectations, a CJK timeout), untouched here.
Full suite: 4944 passed | 12 skipped, 0 failed.

Addresses the review on #244.
BLOCKING (item 1). selectSession() ends with scrollToLastNonEmptyLine(), which
parks the viewport above the bottom for any session taller than the screen, so
after a tab switch every tap classified as 'history' — touchstart ran
preventDefault() + blur, and touchend's early return skipped focus. Both routes
to focus closed on one gesture, the same mechanism as #173.
Suppressing the mouse REPORT while scrolled up is right and is kept; suppressing
FOCUS is not. touchstart now only preventDefaults 'content' taps (a scrolled-up
viewport sends nothing, so there is no compatibility click worth cancelling), and
the 'history' branch focuses instead of blurring.
Verified against the maintainer's own test, which was already on master and red:
`keeps the terminal input focusable after a tab switch parks the viewport
off-bottom` fails without this change and passes with it.
Item 2: dropped both `terminal-action-pending` guards. The class exists nowhere
in the repo, so both branches were permanently false and the comment promised
coverage that did not exist.
Item 3: removed the `Working` literals. Live claude 2.1.226 prints
"Cooked for 2m 6s" with a different bullet and a randomised verb, so they were
dead code. The status row is matched by its affordance ("esc to interrupt")
instead, which is what makes it actionable. The affordance regex is also
tightened to require a key or gesture name, so prose like "click here to open
the file" no longer dismisses the keyboard.
Item 4: removed _shouldForwardTouchScrollToApp and its test. It was never called,
and wiring it as written would have restricted forwarding to claude only,
dropping gemini from the path #205 established — a behaviour change this PR has
no reason to make.
Smaller items: the touchstart classification is cached and reused for the
touchend of the same gesture (keyed on exact coordinates, so a moved finger
re-classifies), removing two of the three full-viewport scans per gesture; the
duplicated touchLastX assignment is gone; and the no-touch bail-out returns null
rather than claiming 'history'.
test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts: 51 tests, 5 failed | 46 passed — the same 5
pre-existing failures as master, unchanged.

A mid-terminal tap on a claude-mode session left document.activeElement on
<body>, so the on-screen keyboard could not be raised and there was no way to
type — the blocker reduced upstream in #173.
_classifyMobileTerminalTap returns 'content' for any non-prompt row, and
_handleMobileTerminalTap blurred on every 'content' tap while touchstart's
preventDefault had already cancelled the compatibility click that would
otherwise focus xterm. Both routes to focus were closed on the same gesture.
Blur now applies only to rows that are actually TUI-owned. The distinguishing
signal is the affordance a CLI prints on or beside the row ("ctrl+r to expand",
"tap to collapse", "esc to interrupt"), not the row's title text — a readback's
title row carries no hint of its own, so the adjacent row is consulted too.
Keying on titles would recognise only the exact strings a fixture happens to
use and would let a real readback keep the keyboard open.
Measured with a real touchstart/touchend gesture, iPhone-class viewport,
claude-mode session, tapping mid-transcript:
before document.activeElement = body
after document.activeElement = xterm-helper-textarea
Note: upstream master already passes this assertion, so the added test is a
regression guard for this branch, not a test that fails on master.
test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts: 40 tests, 5 failed | 35 passed — the same 5
pre-existing failures as master (stale layout/accessory-bar expectations and a
CJK timeout), unchanged by this commit.

The rule "show ~/project rather than /home/<user>/project" had three
implementations in the frontend, two of them platform-specific in opposite
directions, so each looked correct to whoever wrote it.
- The Run menu's Recent Sessions rows matched /home/<user>/ only. On macOS
nothing was stripped, so every row spent its first ~19 characters on an
identical /Users/<user>/ prefix and the left-to-right ellipsis removed the
tail that identifies the row. That is #273, reported by @jordan8037310, who
also traced why the menu's 250px cap made it worse: the width was chosen on
the assumption the abbreviation had run.
- The case-manage list matched /Users/<user> only, the mirror image, so on a
Linux host no case path was ever abbreviated there. Unreported.
Both now call _shortenHomePath(), which was already correct for both layouts
and already used by the Resume list, Cmd+K, the desktop home rail and the phone
overview. Its regex collapses to one alternation with a lookahead, so a path
that is exactly $HOME renders "~" instead of being left raw, matching what the
case-manage list used to do on macOS.
test/home-path-abbreviation.test.ts pins the helper on both layouts and the
rendered case-manage label, and fails if a fourth copy of the pattern appears in
src/web/public. The Run-menu guard counts helper calls rather than pinning a
source line, so it survives the row restructure in #274.
test/run-mode-ui.test.ts gains a _shortenHomePath stub: its harness loads
session-ui.js without terminal-ui.js, which the real app never does.
Verified against an isolated instance with 27 real cases and 50 history rows:
27 of 27 case paths and 17 of 20 Run menu rows abbreviate, the other 3 are
/tmp paths that correctly stay raw, tooltips keep the full path, no page errors.

onData is not the only way keystrokes reach the PTY. With cjkInputEnabled
on, the CJK textarea owns the keyboard: onData returns early for
everything it swallows, and the focus router even redirects
terminal.focus() into the field, which is exactly where the accessory bar
sends focus after every key. So an armed modifier could neither fire NOR
be spent there — it survived until a session switch or keyboard dismissal
and then turned an innocent keystroke into a control byte, the failure
mode the whole disarm list exists to prevent.
`_handleCjkInput()` is that module's single choke point to the PTY, so
applying the modifier there covers typed characters, IME flushes, Enter,
backspace and arrows in one place, with the same policy as the onData
hook: the next single character is modified, anything longer merely
spends it. A committed CJK word therefore passes through untouched and
still clears the modifier.
Verified against a real shell session with the CJK field focused and
owning input (cjkActive true, focus in #cjkInput). Before: typing c left
a literal c in the pane, `sleep 300` kept running, and Ctrl stayed armed.
After: ^C in the pane, modifier disarmed, plain typing still literal.
Tests: 5 cases driving the real _handleCjkInput against the real bar,
both loaded into one vm scope (the bar is a const singleton, so a shared
script scope is what makes the bare reference resolve). Removing the fix
fails 3 of them.

Review of #268 turned up two defects, both verified against a real shell
session on an isolated instance.
1. A tap spent the modifier. The onData hook consumed every chunk while
armed, but not every chunk is a keystroke: a shell session keeps the
narrow scrollback strip, so mouse DECSETs reach the browser, and with
vim/htop running a tap arrives as `\x1b[<0;31;23M`. Measured in the
real app: armed, one tap, disarmed, and the Ctrl button read as dead.
The hook now skips mouse and focus reports via a new
`CodemanTerminalInput.isTerminalFocusOrMouseReport()`; they still reach
the PTY, they just no longer stand in for the next key. Focus reports
are covered for the same reason even though FOCUS_ESCAPE_FILTER in
session.ts strips DECSET 1004 today, since the bar refocuses the
terminal after every key and would spend the modifier on its own
`\x1b[I` the moment that filter changed.
2. The armed style did not land on the four light skins. The competing
rule is (0,3,1), not (0,2,1) as the comments claimed: `:is()` takes the
specificity of its most specific argument and that list holds
`.btn-toolbar.btn-shell`, so it outranked the (0,3,0) armed rules in
both stylesheets. Measured across all seven skins at 390px, armed and
resting backgrounds were byte-identical on paper-gray, solarized-light,
catppuccin-latte and rose-pine-dawn. The light-skin rule now excludes
the state as `.accessory-btn:not(.armed)`, which fixes phone and tablet
at once; adding another class to the armed rules would only have moved
the tie.
Tests: 20 more cases in test/mobile-shell-keyboard.test.ts (the report
classifier, the gate's effect on the modifier, and a static guard on the
light-skin selector, since the existing E2E background assertion passes on
a light skin and the browser suite runs the dark default), plus a browser
regression that taps the terminal with mouse reporting on.

Closes#266. Sessions from different worktrees of the same repo were
indistinguishable in the Resume list, Cmd+K and search — the row showed a
session name and a case label, nothing about which worktree it ran in.
Claude Code already stamps "cwd" and "gitBranch" on every user/assistant
record, and writes a worktree-state record naming the worktree when the
session was started through its own worktree feature. scanProjectDir()
already buffers the head of every transcript for prompt extraction, so
extractTranscriptGitInfo() parses buffers that are already in memory: no
extra file reads, no git subprocess. (Measured on this machine: a git
rev-parse per directory costs 482ms for 35 rows; parsing the existing
buffers costs nothing.)
cwd is taken from the first record that carries it, since a session's cwd
does not move. gitBranch is taken from the last, since a branch genuinely
changes mid-session.
The badge requires a worktree NAME. An earlier revision rendered whenever a
branch was known, which put a badge on all 35 rows of a real history --
"master" on every ordinary session, burying the ten rows the badge exists to
distinguish. A hand-made `git worktree add` therefore gets no badge rather
than a guessed name; Claude's own <repo>/.claude/worktrees/<name> layout is
recognised from the path when no worktree-state record is present.
worktreeName and gitBranch join the filterAndPaginate haystack so the session
manager can search by them. panels-ui re-projects the unified item into a
5-field record before rendering, so the new fields are carried there
explicitly -- omitting that silently drops them from Cmd+K only.
Also prefers the transcript cwd over decodeProjectKey()'s stat-walked guess,
which falls back to $HOME when nothing resolves (#265). Note that path is
currently LATENT, not active: on the install this was developed against,
every project key whose directory is gone has zero transcripts and so
produces no row at all. The transcript value is used because it is
authoritative and non-lossy, not because a live bug was reproduced.
Verified against a real 35-session history on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE:
10 of 36 rows badged, history row count unchanged at 35 (nothing dropped),
no page errors. 129 tests pass across the new suite plus the unified service,
unified route and session route suites.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016uTqt8ttmsBLXbm5JFHis3
@jordan8037310 opened #263 against the same two issues while this branch
was in flight. Three details there are better than what this had, so they
are folded in with credit:
- the Resume list pulls 200 unified sessions instead of 60, so the filter
can reach a real backlog rather than stopping at an arbitrary ceiling
(the endpoint clamps at 500),
- the sort choice persists per device in localStorage, like `codeman:skin`
and the other display keys that stay out of the synced schema,
- alphabetical sorts collate with `{sensitivity:'base', numeric:true}`, so
w2- sorts before w10- and case never splits one project's rows apart.

The mobile accessory bar was built around coding-agent commands, so a shell
session had no way to send Ctrl chords at all.
A shell-mode session now gets its own bar automatically: Ctrl, Esc, Tab,
four arrows, paste, dismiss. Agent sessions (claude, codex, opencode,
gemini, antigravity) keep the existing bar unchanged.
Ctrl is a one-shot modifier: tap it and it lights up, the next character
typed on the system keyboard is sent as its control byte, and Ctrl disarms.
Tapping it again cancels. That puts Ctrl+C/D/Z/R/L/A/E/W/U/K on a
nine-button bar without a button per chord.
Implementation notes:
* The interception lives in terminal.onData, not a keydown handler: a
virtual keyboard reports no usable key events, so the character only
exists as onData text. It sits after shouldSuppressTerminalQueryResponse
(xterm answers DA/CPR queries through onData too, and letting one of those
spend the modifier would silently eat the user's Ctrl) and before every
send path, so the control byte follows the normal control-char route.
* ctrlByteFor() maps `code & 0x1f` over @A-Z[\]^_ and a-z, plus
Ctrl+Space = NUL and Ctrl+? = DEL. Characters with no control equivalent
pass through unchanged, like a hardware keyboard.
* The bar now separates the base layout (the extendedKeyboardBar setting)
from the effective one, resolved per session by refreshForActiveSession().
A settings save during a shell session cannot yank the bar away, and
switching back to an agent tab restores the user's choice.
* Ctrl disarms on use, a second tap, any other accessory key, a session
switch, keyboard dismissal and a layout swap.
* Ctrl joins the refocus set, so tapping it keeps the terminal focused and
the keyboard open.
* The armed style needs three classes to outrank mobile.css's light-skin
.accessory-btn rule at (0,2,1).
Verified end to end against a real shell session on an isolated instance:
tapping Ctrl then typing c interrupted a running `sleep 300` (^C in the
pane), the modifier disarmed, plain typing stayed literal, Ctrl+L cleared,
and a cancelled Ctrl typed a literal c.
Tests: test/mobile-shell-keyboard.test.ts (new, runs in CI) covers the
mapping table, layout selection per session mode, base-mode memory and every
disarm path; test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts adds nine browser regressions that
drive the real xterm with page.keyboard.type() and assert on the bytes that
would go out.
Closes#262

Two home-screen reports from @jordan8037310, both about history that is
present but unreachable.
#260 — "Resume Conversation" rendered 4 rows, then a button that appended
every remaining row into a `max-height: 240px` box, so 35 conversations
landed in a four-row scroll well with no ordering or filtering. Rendering
now goes through `_renderHistoryList()` over a cached corpus: 10 rows to
start, Show more/Show less that grows and shrinks the box (the height cap
is class-driven, `.history-list.expanded`), plus a filter box (name,
folder, #case label, prompts), a sort control (recent / name / folder,
pinned rows still first) and a shown-of-total count. A filter implies
expansion, so every match is visible, and the whole header hides as one
unit while a federated search is active. The A-Z sort keys off the same
string the row renders, since most rows are transcript-backed and carry
no session name at all.
#261 — the search box could not match a past project by folder name:
`harvestSources()` built its session corpus from the live in-memory map,
while past sessions come from `/api/sessions/unified` (lifecycle log +
transcript scan). Folding that scan into the request path would have cost
the search its no-filesystem-reads property, so the corpus arrives via a
bounded snapshot instead: `session-history-index.ts` is published as a
side effect of `/api/sessions/unified` (the home screen fetches it on
open, which is the same screen the search box lives on) and rebuilt
fire-and-forget, single-flight and TTL-guarded when a search finds it
stale. A result for a closed session now resumes the conversation rather
than selecting a tab that no longer exists, and is badged RESUME.
The snapshot is stored unscoped with a per-row owner and re-filtered
through canAccessOwned() on read, so multi-user sees exactly what
/api/sessions/unified exposes: own sessions only, host-wide transcript
history admin-only. Live rows are harvested first and win the dedupe.
Verified end-to-end against a real instance with 60 past sessions: cold
process answers its first search without history and its second with it;
folder-name queries return resume targets; clicking one posts the right
resumeSessionId + workingDir.

The welcome overlay centers ~560px of content in a ~1400px window, so both
gutters are dead space. The left one now carries the open tabs as a vertical
list (home-sessions.js): one row per live session plus saved web tabs, in TAB
order rather than by urgency, because the row badges are the Alt+1..9 indices.
Clicking a row enters that session.
Working state is deliberately the phone's, exactly: a pulsing green dot ringed
by the same tab-load-spin the tab strip uses while a tab loads, now with a green
halo added on both surfaces so "working" reads identically wherever you see it.
The column is position:absolute so the centered content never moves, which is
why it needs a width gate in two places (HOME_SESSIONS_MIN_WIDTH = 1180 in JS,
a max-width: 1179px media query as the backstop for a resize that outruns the
matchMedia listener). A test pins the two equal. State classification is reused
from mobile-overview.js rather than re-derived, so the two home screens cannot
disagree about what counts as needing you.
Phones keep the mobile overview, and their brand "C" was a 0.85rem inline span,
roughly a 12x13px target on the one control that gets you back to that screen.
It is now a 44px-wide button filling the full header height, with the glyph
scaled to match. 44 is horizontal only: the phone header is pinned to 36px and
clips overflow, so a true 44x44 would mean taking height off the terminal.
Verified end to end against a real isolated instance (own tmux socket + data
dir): 18 browser checks covering render, live update through the tab renderer,
the working dot's animation/glow/ring, row click, the narrow-window gate, the
phone fallback, and a real touch tap on the far corner of the new hit box.

Independent post-build review found three gaps, all one family: input that
changes the composer without a prediction leaves the DISPLAYED cursor stale
for one RTT, and anchoring a new run on it painted ghosts one cell off
(blank-neutral, so they lived out the full TTL: "tehh" on
backspace-then-retype, exactly on the links the feature targets).
Fix: the addon now HOLDS new predictions after any such edit (backspace with
nothing outstanding = deleting echoed text, clearPredictions, and now also
IME/plain-paste 'text' commits, which the hook clears like 'clear') until
the next PARSED write releases the hold. The inline predictChar reconcile
deliberately does not count: only the emitter pass or the public
reconcile() is the display-caught-up contract. Worst case is exactly one
unpredicted keystroke, whose own echo releases the hold. Also patched the
one bypass path the PR had missed: _handleCjkInput now clears predictions
like insertTerminalText and the other bypass sends.
Package suite 230, vm gating 85, E2E 10/10 all green after the change.

DodgyBadger reported a completely dead wheel in codex tabs (#227 comment)
while the scrollbar drag worked, and the [scroll] line confirmed the
branch: forward-sgr with 967 rows of healthy local scrollback unused.
Measured against codex-cli 0.147.0 in a bare tmux: codex never enables
mouse tracking (mouse_any_flag=0), runs an inline viewport
(alternate_on=0) and pushes its transcript into the terminal's own
scrollback (history_size grows), and SGR wheel reports written to its
pane change nothing at all. Hand-encoded SGR taps are no-ops too, so
they stay (harmless), which means click-to-position is merely
unavailable there rather than damaging.
_shouldForwardWheelToApp now returns true for claude >= 2.1.187 and
nothing else; codex falls to the local-scrollback path like
shell/gemini/opencode, which is the same history the scrollbar drag was
already reaching. The claude-only PageUp fallback is untouched.
Verified in Chromium against a live codex session on an isolated
instance: routing logs local-scrollback, the viewport moves 39 -> 4 and
zero bytes go to the PTY.

The header tab strip stops working past roughly a dozen sessions: it wraps
into two or three rows, eats vertical space and still cannot be scanned.
This adds a vertical session list in a left <aside> as an ALTERNATIVE
layout — a filter box, a live count, and a 44px collapsed rail that keeps
the ambient signal (status dot, task badge) visible.
The strip is not removed. Settings -> Display -> Tab Bar -> Session List
Layout switches between them and the default stays 'header', so existing
users see no change until they opt in.
Structure: one #sessionTabs element, two mount points. applySessionListLayout()
re-parents the SAME node between #sessionTabsHost and #sessionSidebarList,
which is why there is no second renderer and no duplicated wiring — app.$()
caches getElementById results and never invalidates them, so a moved node
keeps every existing consumer (settings-ui, webview-tabs, the generated
gesture bundle, the mobile tests) working untouched.
Notable integration points:
- Below 1024px the sidebar is an off-canvas drawer overlaying the terminal;
closed it gets inert + aria-hidden so it cannot be tabbed into, and touch
swipes over it no longer switch sessions.
- Subagent and ultracode windows anchor to the right edge of a sidebar row
instead of its bottom, connector curves follow.
- Alt+B toggles; the chord is gated out of the PTY so xterm cannot also
write ESC b into a live session.
- Collapse state lives in its own localStorage key (the settings blob is
rebuilt from DOM controls on every save) and falls back to in-memory
intent where storage throws.
Verified: frontend syntax + public asset checks, tsc, eslint, 26 new jsdom
tests, and a headless-Chromium harness (scripts/verify-session-sidebar.mts)
that renders a synthetic 25-session fleet in both layouts at 1600/1000/393px
and asserts mount point, widths, inert/aria state and row count.

The 1.12.0 retest on #205 reported it still broken in two shapes: a wheel that
did nothing at all on Firefox/macOS (while Fn+Up paged back through intact
text), and iPhone history that went back a little, repeated blocks and got
worse the further up it went. Both come from a Claude pane's LOCAL buffer being
hollow: tmux keeps no history for a repaint-mode pane (history_size 0), so
xterm holds only replayed repaint frames.
1. The scroll-to-top full=1 re-pull now refuses a DOWNGRADE. It resets the
terminal and rewrites it from the capture, which is a win when tmux holds
more than the browser, but for a repaint-mode pane that capture is roughly
ONE frame and the rewrite deleted history mid-scroll. Measured A/B on a live
pane, same gesture: guard off collapses 341 rows to 42, guard on preserves
all 341. _replayWouldShrinkBuffer() estimates the capture's rendered rows
(escapes stripped, capture-pane -J re-wrapping accounted for) and skips the
rewrite when it is more than one screen short; a refused session's cooldown
goes from 4s to 60s so a hollow pane stops re-fetching megabytes.
2. A false forwarding gate on a Claude session no longer means a dead gesture.
Under a triple guard (claude mode, gate false, baseY 0), wheel and touch
travel becomes coalesced PageUp/PageDown through the same 40ms queue as the
SGR reports, at half a screen of travel per page key. Shift is excluded: it
keeps meaning "local scrollback".
3. getClaudeCliVersion() no longer caches FAILURE. It stored null on any
exception and guarded on !== undefined, so one timed-out or PATH-starved
probe at the first Claude session start disabled wheel-forwarding for every
Claude session until the server restarted, which fits a report of breakage on
phone, tablet and laptop at once. Success is still cached for the process
lifetime; failures retry with a 1/2/4 up to 15min backoff, and the policy is
a pure function so the semantics are testable without spawning claude.
4. The terminalWheelLocalScrollback footgun is handled by pairing rather than
scoping: the setting keeps meaning exactly what it says, and fix 2 catches
the case where "local" is empty. The App Settings tooltip now says to leave
it off for Claude/Codex sessions.
5. _logScrollRouting() prints one line per session per distinct decision:
forward-sgr / page-keys / local-scrollback / repull-refused-downgrade, with
mode, cliVersion, the opt-out state, mouse tracking and local scrollback
depth. #205 ran two rounds of remote guesswork over questions that line
answers directly.
Verified end to end against a real isolated instance (own data dir and tmux
socket) with real wheel events: forwarding still sends SGR reports, the opt-out
now sends real PageUp/PageDown where the wheel was dead, a tab-switch collapse
(401 rows to 44) is still fully recovered by the re-pull (back to 401), and a
seeded 341-row Claude buffer survives the same gesture that destroys it with the
guard disabled.

Two smoothness refinements on the local wheel path: the drain factor
drops from 35% to 22% per frame, so the first frame of a notch takes a
smaller step and the glide lasts longer; and local scrolling accumulates
FRACTIONAL lines (_wheelScrollLinesFloat) instead of rounding every
event, so a slow macOS trackpad drag no longer snaps a whole line per
tiny delta (the old ±1 fallback made slow drags scroll faster than the
