Version-gated fail-closed at 2.1.224 (the cross-session-messaging release,
flag presence verified against that binary): an unknown or older CLI yields
a spawn command byte-identical to before, because claude aborts startup on
an unknown option and that would kill every session spawn. The value is
allowlist-sanitized ahead of the double-quoted interpolation, and only the
local command carries the flag; docker/remote builders never see it since
their CLI is not the probed binary. Verified E2E on an isolated instance:
cmdline shows --name, ListAgents lists the session name, replies arrive
tagged from-name.

Claude Code v2.1.224+ gives sessions ListAgents/SendMessage and a per-session
inbox socket. Codeman's claude workers are ordinary local Claude Code sessions,
so the agent skill now teaches task delivery and result collection over
messaging where available (multi-line exactly-once messages, mid-turn steering,
latched replies), with the HTTP primitives keeping spawn, readiness,
synchronization, liveness and delete, and a bounded fallback to the HTTP
recipes whenever the feature is absent. All mechanics verified live against
claude-cli 2.1.226.

README.zh-CN.md taught a recipe that cannot work: its programmatic-input example had no
trailing `\r`, so Enter was never sent and the prompt sat unsubmitted forever, and its
read step used `/output`, whose `textOutput` is always empty for interactive tmux-backed
sessions. A reader following the Chinese README walked into both of the silent failures
the English one warns about. Its agent/automation section is now brought in line with
README.md: the `\r` rule and every example that needs it, and the correct read path.
CLAUDE.md's "Single-line prompts only" gotcha described the newline restriction but
never mentioned that input must end with `\r` or Enter is never sent, which is the most
common silent failure when driving the API.
docs/agent-control-plan.md asserted as still-open several things that shipped in 1.14.1
and 1.14.2 (the wait endpoints, the packaged skill, the install CLI, agentSkillEnabled).
The status header and the stale bullets now match reality; the historical design content
is untouched, since the document is a record.

Ship `skills/codeman` as an installable Claude Code skill rather than a
repo-only reference, and fix six defects found while verifying it live.
Install layer:
- `codeman skill install [--case <name>]` / `codeman skill uninstall`.
Case names resolve through linked-cases.json first, mirroring the
server's resolveCasePath(), so a case linked in from outside
~/codeman-cases no longer fails with "Case not found".
- applyAgentSkill() / installAgentSkillInto() / removeAgentSkillFrom() in
hooks-config.ts. Copies are marker-owned, so an unmarked user-authored
skill is never touched, and a symlinked skill dir is refused (this
repo's own .claude/skills/codeman is a symlink to the source).
- Synced `agentSkillEnabled` setting, default OFF: schemas.ts,
ports/config-port.ts, server.ts, session-routes.ts (add-only injection
on Claude session create and quick-start), plus the App Settings toggle.
Skill content fixes, each reproduced before and after:
- Fail-closed `delete_session` replaces `is_self ... || curl -X DELETE`.
Shell state does not survive between agent tool calls, and an undefined
is_self exited 127, firing the `||` branch and deleting the caller's own
session with the one guard bypassed. The request now lives inside the
guard, so a lost preamble deletes nothing.
- clientId is a fixed literal instead of `agent-$$`. The pid changes per
tool call, so the documented resend-identical-request loop stopped being
a duplicate and retyped the prompt, submitting the turn twice.
- `last-response` is now the documented read path for claude and codex
workers. It returns clean transcript text; the terminal scrape it
replaces returns a wall of TUI repaint noise. Its transcript flush lags
the stop signal, so the recipes poll it rather than reading once.
- quick-start examples branch on `.success`. Previously a failed spawn
yielded the literal session id "null" and burned the whole readiness
budget before reporting jq noise instead of the cause.
- Documented that turning `agentSkillEnabled` off sweeps nothing, and
corrected the hooks-config comment that claimed a toggle-off sweep
exists. Per-case cleanup is `codeman skill uninstall --case <name>`.
- Documented that SESSION_BUSY means the 50-session cap on quick-start,
and that caseName resolves linked cases, so a generic name can land a
worker in a real repo.
Tests: test/agent-skill.test.ts covers install, refresh, idempotence,
marker ownership and symlink refusal against the real packaged source;
test/quick-start.test.ts covers injection behind the setting.
