Ported from #416 (discussion #405): a statusline reading just `codeman`
is what a hand-run claude in a managed repo showed, and it reads as a
broken config rather than a footer. Three paths produced it and all
three now yield an empty footer: the exporter's `|| echo codeman`
fallback (now `curl -sfk ... || true`, with -f keeping an HTTP error
body off stdout), the unknown-session answer of POST /api/status-telemetry,
and formatSessionStatusText() with nothing to show. The exporter script
marker moves to V4 so live installs pick the new content up on the next
spawn.

Three small follow-ups from the #361 review.
A tmux setenv survives respawn-pane, so _configureStatusLineUserCommand
returning early when the user has no statusline left a previously
exported CODEMAN_USER_STATUSLINE_CMD in place: a user who deleted their
own statusline kept getting the stale one wrapped, and lost Codeman's
footer print-through, until the tmux session was recreated. It now
issues `setenv -u` in that case, the same shape as the effort-level
cleanup in applyEnvOverrides.
ensureStatusLineExporterScript truncated and rewrote a script that live
sessions execute on every statusline render, and chmod'd it after the
write. It now writes a temp file next to the target, chmods that, and
rename()s it into place.
The non-tmux direct-PTY fallback carries no exporter; that is now stated
at the spawn site and in the architecture-invariants paragraph rather
than left as a silent gap.

Two follow-ups to #361's sticky telemetry switch.
GET /api/settings reconciled an absent showPlanUsageLimits by persisting
true, but readJsonConfig() answers {} for ANY read failure (a parse
error, EACCES, EMFILE, a read landing inside PUT's non-atomic write), not
only ENOENT, and every page load calls this route, so one unlucky read
replaced the whole settings file with a one-key file. The route is a
plain read again and the default moved into the reader:
readPlanUsageTelemetryEnabled() treats an absent key as ON, the same way
readWorkspaceHooksEnabled() does, which is what the desktop chip already
shows for an install that never touched the setting.
saveAppSettings() sent showPlanUsageLimits on every save. The chip
defaults OFF on handhelds, so a phone saving its font size persisted
false and switched collection off for every desktop, whose chip then
went stale with no error anywhere. The key is now stripped like the
other per-device display keys and re-added only when the save FLIPS the
chip relative to what the device had (planUsageCollectionFlip), so an
explicit toggle on any device still writes it in either direction.
Tests pin both: the GET route with a mocked filesystem (absent, missing,
EACCES, garbage, explicit), the reader default, and the flip helper plus
its wiring in saveAppSettings.

Responds to Ark0N's review round on the ephemeral-CLI-flag statusline
injection rework:
- Rebase-detail fixes: registry-gated telemetry eligibility via
getCli(mode)?.capabilities.statusLineTelemetry instead of a hardcoded
mode === 'claude' check, using the capability flag master's CLI-registry
refactor already declares for exactly this purpose.
- Design question settled: sticky (a). Rather than persisting the toggle
as a new field and threading it through every session-creation path
(cron, Ralph Loop API, quick-start), eliminated the per-session field
entirely. readPlanUsageTelemetryEnabled() (hooks-config.ts) reads the
existing showPlanUsageLimits setting fresh from settings.json at every
claude create/respawn (TmuxManager.createSession/respawnPane) - no
per-session state to survive a restart, and it applies uniformly to
every creation path for free, since they all flow through the same
TmuxManager methods.
This required fixing a real bug found along the way: showPlanUsageLimits
was not actually round-tripping through settings.json on save -
settings-ui.js explicitly excluded it from the PUT body as a pure
per-device display key. It now flows through normally (both true and
false); the load-side per-device merge behavior is unchanged.
Removed entirely as a result: the statusLineTelemetry field from
CreateSessionSchema/SettingsUpdateSchema, CreateSessionOptions/
RespawnPaneOptions, Session._statusLineTelemetry (this is what makes
the restart-persistence bug moot rather than patched), and the
frontend send sites.
- Footer print-through restored: the no-user-statusline branch of the
exporter script now runs the telemetry POST in the foreground so its
own stdout becomes the in-terminal footer, falling back to a plain
"codeman" marker only on curl failure.
- Background-subshell EOF fix: the wrap-a-real-statusline branch closes
stdin too, not just stdout/stderr (`>/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &`) -
the un-redirected subshell process itself, not curl, was what held a
reader-to-EOF's pipe open for however long curl took to finish. Added
curl --max-time 5 so a hung (not just refused) Codeman cannot wedge
the render.
Tests: real-shell-execution tests for the footer/EOF fixes (fake curl
stand-in on PATH, real sh subprocess spawns, real elapsed-time
measurements - verified non-vacuous against a hand-reconstructed
old-style script), unit tests for readPlanUsageTelemetryEnabled.
Adapted two existing tests whose payloads referenced the removed field.
Fixed during independent code review: a stray indentation break and a
test exercising the wrong (legacy) exporter code path.
Docs synced: CLAUDE.md, docs/usage-limits-display-plan.md (old
disk-based section marked superseded, kept for history),
docs/architecture-invariants.md.
Full suite green: 352 files, 6780 passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed.
tsc/lint/format:check/frontend-syntax all clean.

Now that the exporter no longer lives in a fixed per-case file, it can
compose with the user's actual configured statusline rather than just
backing off when one is found.
findEffectiveUserStatusLineCommand() walks Claude Code's own settings
precedence for a workspace: project-local .claude/settings.local.json
> project-shared .claude/settings.json > the user's global
~/.claude/settings.json. A legacy Codeman-marked entry left behind in
the project's own settings.local.json is never treated as a real user
command — it's skipped and precedence continues to the next layer.
The shared exporter script (bumped to a V2 marker so stale copies
self-heal) now fires the telemetry POST in a background subshell —
its own stdout/stderr discarded so nothing leaks into the visible
statusline, and confirmed non-blocking (~4ms, even against an
unreachable endpoint) — then, if the pane's environment carries
CODEMAN_USER_STATUSLINE_CMD, feeds it the same stdin blob and relays
its stdout as ours. Otherwise it falls back to the plain "codeman"
marker as before.
The discovered command is threaded to the pane via `tmux setenv
CODEMAN_USER_STATUSLINE_CMD` (_configureStatusLineUserCommand) rather
than embedded in the spawn command line, for the same
premature-shell-expansion reason as the parent commit: tmux stores a
setenv value verbatim and never re-parses it, so once shellescape()d
for that one command, the command's own $/quotes survive untouched
into the pane's environment.
Verified live via direct shell execution of the generated script
(both branches: fallback and user-command wrapping) before deploy.

Codeman's plan-usage chip wrote a statusLine.command into the case's
.claude/settings.local.json to receive Claude Code's rate_limits blob.
That file-based statusLine took precedence over the user's own
global/project statusline for ANY `claude` run in that directory,
including entirely outside Codeman, with no disclosure in the App
Settings UI (labeled only as a header-display toggle) and no way to
remove it once written (the removal code path was unreachable dead
code — nothing ever called it with false).
Replace the disk write with an EPHEMERAL `claude --settings
'{"statusLine":{...}}'` CLI flag, resolved fresh at spawn time
(resolveStatusLineCliCommand in hooks-config.ts) and merged with
effort/ultracode into one --settings object (buildClaudeSettingsFlag
in tmux-manager.ts, since Claude Code accepts only one --settings
flag). Never touches disk, so a plain `claude` run outside Codeman is
untouched. Self-healing: any legacy disk-written exporter from an
older build is stripped the first time a session starts in that
workspace again. Still respects a user's own hand-authored statusLine
(skips the flag entirely rather than overriding it).
Mid-fix bug found and fixed: the exporter's command legitimately
depends on $CODEMAN_SESSION_ID/$CODEMAN_API_URL/$CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE
and an internal $INPUT, all meant to be expanded only when Claude Code
itself executes the statusline, using the pane's tmux-setenv'd
environment. Passing that text through --settings routed it through
execSync's own implicit /bin/sh -c first (tmux respawn-pane's
`bash -c "..."` wrapper) — POSIX double quotes don't suppress $
expansion, so those vars got expanded prematurely against the
server's own environment (unset there), producing malformed JSON that
printed as literal error text in the statusline. Fixed by writing the
exporter as a real, shared script file (ensureStatusLineExporterScript,
marker-versioned so stale copies self-heal) and passing only its bare
path via --settings — nothing for any intermediate shell to mangle.
Verified against a real Claude CLI on an isolated tmux socket, and via
direct execSync reproduction of the exact nested wrapping
createSession/respawnPane use.
A hard "never inject, even ephemerally" kill-switch was added and then
removed in the same pass: with the disk-leak fixed, disabling
injection only cost the plan-usage telemetry the feature exists to
provide, for no remaining benefit.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015GyMnFWnUzc41TDeHg9juW
A long orchestration creates one case directory per worker and deleting the
sessions never removed them, so ~/codeman-cases accumulated scratch folders
that were indistinguishable from real projects. They are now labelled and
have a cleanup path.
- src/agent-case-marker.ts: a case dir quick-start CREATES for an agent-driven
spawn gets a .codeman-agent-case.json marker (when, by whom, parent session,
mode). Only the create branch writes it, so a linked case, a cloned repo or
any pre-existing path is never labelled; reading is total, so a malformed
marker means "not agent-created" rather than a half-trusted entry.
- The signal is the new X-Codeman-Agent-Origin header the skill preamble sets
on its shared curl (preamble bumped to 1.22.0), or an agentOrigin body
field, falling back to a resolved parentSessionId so a worker spawned by a
stale skill copy is still labelled.
- GET /api/cases publishes it as agentCreated; GET /api/cases/agent-created is
a read-only cleanup listing adding inUse and modifiedAt; Add Case -> Manage
badges each case and offers a review-then-delete sweep that names every
directory in its confirm and skips any case a live session is working in.
Removal stays on the existing DELETE /api/cases/:name.
- Agent preamble caches are collected too: ~/.cache/codeman-agent-<id>.sh was
written per claude session and never removed (236 leftovers measured on a
working machine). Now deleted with the session and swept at boot, guarded by
a live-session keep set plus a 7-day age floor.
Verified end to end on an isolated instance: marker written for header, body
and lineage-only spawns, absent with no agent signal and for a pre-existing
directory; inUse flipping on session end; badge, sticky bar, confirm and sweep
driven in a browser; preamble seeded on create, removed on delete, boot sweep
taking only the aged orphans.

Which conversation a pane is on was re-derived by correlating
~/.claude/history.jsonl against Session.lastSubmitAt — and lastSubmitAt is
bumped only by input that flows through Codeman's own write path
(Session.write / writeViaMux). A user who attaches to the pane's tmux session
directly never set it, so resolveActiveClaudeSessionIdFromHistory() returned at
its first line for that pane's whole life and the response viewer stayed pinned
to the launch conversation, showing a pre-/clear transcript indefinitely.
A UserPromptSubmit hook reports the live conversation id from inside the CLI
process, delivered under the pane's own $CODEMAN_SESSION_ID. That binding is a
fact rather than a correlation: it never consults workingDir, so it cannot be
claimed by a sibling pane on the same folder, a closed tab, or a bare `claude`
in the user's terminal. A pane holding such an id skips the correlation
entirely, so the number of prompts eligible for cwd-based guessing goes DOWN,
never up — the naive alternative (relax the guard, or synthesize an anchor from
PTY activity) is the reverted bug the resolver's own comment describes.
The hook also stamps lastSubmitAt, so it finally means "a prompt was submitted"
rather than "typed into Codeman's web terminal". Conversations vouched for
first-hand — and only those — extend a persisted claudeSessionChain, whose tail
re-pins the conversation when a surviving tmux session is re-attached after a
restart. ⚠️ start() resets the id at THREE points and the last one runs
unconditionally after the mux branch, so the tail is applied there too; patching
only the mux branch looks right and silently does nothing.
⚠️ The hook's stdout is discarded with curl's own -o /dev/null. Claude Code
injects a UserPromptSubmit hook's stdout into the model's context ("Exit code 0
- stdout shown to Claude"), and a trailing >/dev/null does NOT work: curlCmd
already ends `... 2>/dev/null || true`, and in `pipeline || true >/dev/null` the
shell binds the redirection to `true`, which never runs on the success path. The
discard is opt-in so the five SSE-fed events keep byte-identical command text
and no workspace's settings file is rewritten for them. The staleness marker is
quote-free for the matching reason: hooksJson is JSON.stringify'd, so a quoted
needle never matches and the gate would rewrite every workspace on every spawn.
Existing workspaces heal on their next Claude spawn through the staleness sweep.
Post-#304 follow-ups. The install-vs-refresh decision (workspaceHooksEnabled,
default ON) moved from a session-routes-local helper into hooks-config.ts as
applyWorkspaceHooks(workspace, install?), and the claude session-create sites
that bypassed it now go through it: cron job fires (cron-service), legacy
scheduled-run iterations (runScheduledLoop), and the plan-orchestrator research
and planner one-shots. A cron or scheduled run firing in a linked case that
never had an interactive session ran hook-blind (no stop for completion
detection, no tab alert on a blocking dialog).
The shared core also carries the two guards every caller needs: a workspace
that no longer exists is skipped (ensureCodemanHooks mkdir -p's, so the boot
recovery sweep used to resurrect a deleted repo as an empty tree holding only
.claude/settings.local.json), and all errors are swallowed since a create must
never fail on hooks. Route handlers keep resolving the setting through their
ConfigPort and pass it in; non-route callers omit it and the core reads
settings.json itself (absent key or unreadable file = ON).
Two adjacent gates tightened in session-routes:
- the docker quick-start hooks branch excluded the five external CLIs but let
`shell` through, contradicting its own rule that only claude reads .claude
hooks; it is now gated on mode === 'claude'
- the statusLine exporter call in POST /api/sessions got the same
!remote && body.workingDir guard the hooks call got in 499d355 (it mkdirs the
same way, so a remote attach created a junk user@host:session dir locally and
a cwd-fallback create wrote into $HOME)
plan-routes' one-shot deliberately stays out: its workingDir is process.cwd(),
exactly the target 499d355 forbids writing into. restoreMuxSessions stays out
too: the boot sweep already covers recovered workspaces.
Tests: quick-start existing-case install, docker claude-installs/shell-does-not,
and the core directly (default-ON install, OFF add-nothing, OFF still heals a
stale block, malformed file untouched, vanished workspace skipped); the remote
and cwd-fallback regressions now also send statusLineTelemetry:true to pin the
statusLine guard.

A session in a linked case (or any pre-existing repo) ran with no hooks block
at all: writeHooksConfig only fires when Codeman CREATES the case directory,
and refreshStaleCodemanHooks deliberately never adds one. Every hook-driven
surface was therefore dead in exactly the place most sessions run: no tab
alert or phone-overview NEEDS YOU row when a dialog blocks the pane, no
Approvals Inbox item, no push, no definitive stop/idle_prompt for respawn,
and no stop/blocked for the agent wait endpoints.
Both session-create paths and restoreMuxSessions() now call
ensureCodemanHooks(), an add-only merge that keeps a user's own handlers and
leaves a malformed settings file untouched. Claude Code re-reads
settings.local.json, so a session already running in the workspace starts
firing hooks without a restart.

Two live failures from one root cause: Claude Code loads a same-named
user-level skill (~/.claude/skills/codeman, written once by `codeman skill
install`) over the fresh per-case copy, and nothing ever refreshed it. A
stale Aug-9 copy (pre fast-path, pre lineage header) made every agent-driven
spawn run the old recipes: workers spawned serially with pid polls and
without X-Codeman-Parent-Session, so the web UI drew no lineage arcs.
- refreshUserAgentSkill(): session create now refreshes a marker-owned
user-level copy (refresh-only: absent copies are not installed,
foreign/symlink copies stay untouched).
- seedAgentSessionPreamble(): local claude session create pre-seeds the
skill's preamble into ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-~/.cache}/codeman-agent-<id>.sh,
single-sourced from the new skills/codeman/preamble.sh, so the skill's §0
bootstrap collapses to a two-line loader instead of a ~150-line paste the
model has to type out (measured ~47s of generation per run).
- SKILL.md: §0 now leads with the loader and keeps the full block as the
stale/missing fallback; explicit verbatim-paste warning (a hand-assembled
preamble is how the header and the fast-path functions got lost);
spawn_worker also sends parentSessionId in the body as defense in depth;
preamble stamp bumped to 1.18.3 so pre-fix cached preambles self-heal.
- test/agent-skill.test.ts pins preamble.sh byte-identical to the SKILL.md
heredoc and covers seeding (XDG + HOME fallback, 0600) and the user-level
refresh (absent/stale/foreign).

Round 2 of the #251 review: settingsWriteBlocker covered only
writeHooksConfig and updateCaseModel, while applyStatusLineConfig,
stripCaseEnvKeys, updateCaseEnvVars, refreshStaleCodemanHooks and
ensureCodemanHooks still wrote the same repository-controlled path
unguarded (applyStatusLineConfig was demonstrated writing through a
symlinked settings.local.json).
All seven writers now go through withSafeSettingsWrite(), which runs
the blocker check INSIDE the per-path settings lock and then hands the
writer its claudeDir/settingsPath; none of them touch the settings path
directly anymore. Test pins all seven against a symlinked
settings.local.json at once (link target must stay byte-identical).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Addresses all four findings from the #251 review:
- Scaffolding no longer writes through repository-controlled symlinks.
The guard lives in hooks-config.ts (settingsWriteBlocker) so it also
covers quick-start/docker/ralph writers, not just the clone route:
refuses a symlinked .claude or settings.local.json, a .claude that is
a file, or one resolving outside the case. The clone route surfaces
the refusal as a user-visible warning, and the CLAUDE.md write checks
presence via lstat so a BROKEN repo-shipped symlink counts as present
(existsSync follows links and would have created the outside target).
- Failed-clone cleanup can no longer delete a concurrent winner's tree:
git clones into an attempt-owned temp sibling (.<name>.cloning-<rand>)
which is atomically renamed into place; the loser reports
DESTINATION_EXISTS and only ever removes its own temp dir.
- decodeURIComponent(url.pathname) is guarded: malformed percent-escapes
now come back as BAD_SYNTAX instead of an uncaught URIError 500.
- The git pool's waiter queue is bounded (CODEMAN_MAX_GIT_QUEUE, default
16): overflow answers BUSY immediately (HTTP 429 via RATE_LIMITED),
and queue time counts against the operation's own deadline.
Tests: hostile symlink fixture repo (route level), settingsWriteBlocker
units, concurrent same-destination race, temp-dir leak assertions,
percent-escape rejection, and a fake-git pool-bounds suite.

Permission dialogs, AskUserQuestion questions and idle prompts from every
session now land in a server-side inbox (web/approval-inbox.ts, one item per
session, claude-mode only) and are answerable in place: a header bell + drawer
on desktop, inline answer strips on the phone overview's NEEDS YOU rows, and
working push Approve/Deny buttons (previously dead ends, now answered straight
from sw.js with no tab open). Pending alerts survive reloads because the
frontend seeds from GET /api/approvals on init.
Answering sends the digit / Esc / prompt text through the existing tmux input
path; option digits are accepted only when they match options parsed from the
captured pane frame, and the answer path re-captures the pane first so a
dialog that already left the screen refuses with 409 instead of typing into
the composer. New elicitation_complete / elicitation_response hook matchers
resolve question items the moment they are answered in the terminal;
refreshStaleCodemanHooks heals existing cases.
Verified end-to-end against a live claude session: a real AskUserQuestion
dialog parsed into 5 option buttons and was answered from the drawer.

Two ways the injection could go wrong quietly.
`installAgentSkillInto()` wrote each file with a bare `writeFile`, no lock and no
temp+rename, while every sibling mutator in hooks-config.ts goes through
`withSettingsLock`. Two Claude sessions created concurrently in one repo both wrote the
same ~16KB SKILL.md, and any reader loading it mid-write could observe a truncated
file. Writes now go through a temp+rename helper under the same lock the neighbours
use, so a reader sees either the old file or the new one.
Both server call sites discarded the outcome with `.catch(() => {})`, so the two
refusal results were invisible: `foreign` (a user-authored skills/codeman is present,
so we declined to touch it) and `symlink` (the skill dir or its parent is a symlink, so
we declined to write through it). Turning `agentSkillEnabled` on, seeing nothing appear
and having no way to find out why was the reportable-as-a-bug outcome. Refusals are now
logged with the path and what to do about it. The boring outcomes stay silent, since
they happen on every session create. Injection remains best-effort: a refusal or a
thrown error still cannot fail session creation.

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.

Conflict in refreshStaleCodemanHooks resolved by keeping every staleness
trigger: the master-side TLS-flagless curl check (hooks without -k) AND the
PR-side current-wake-marker (V3) + SubagentStop guard marker checks.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two defects in the background-task hook scripts.
SubagentStop had no handler at all. When a subagent launched background work and
one watcher ended while others were still running, Claude could publish the
worker's last progress sentence as its final result, abandoning the live tasks.
A new guard pairs launched task IDs against completed ones and confirms liveness
by scanning /proc/<pid>/fd for an open tasks/<id>.output handle, blocking the
stop only while genuinely-live work remains. It fails open — allowing the stop —
when /proc is unavailable, nothing was launched, or everything finished.
The rewake helper watched only input.transcript_path. A subagent has its own
transcript, but Claude writes the completion queue-operation to the PARENT
transcript, so the record it waited for never appeared and the wake never fired.
It now watches both paths, but only when the relationship is provable: the
transcript's parent directory is subagents/ and its grandparent basename equals
input.session_id. It also now requires operation === 'enqueue'.
The rewake marker moves V2 -> V3; refreshStaleCodemanHooks treats absence of the
current marker as stale, so existing cases self-heal on next launch (the same
mechanism as the V1 -> V2 bump). Ownership matches on marker PREFIXES, so a
future bump still recognises older Codeman handlers and never adopts a user's.
12 tests fail on unmodified master, e.g.
expected '[{"matcher":"Bash",…' to contain 'CODEMAN_BACKGROUND_REWAKE_V3'
expected 'Background command bg-report-1 comple…' to contain '<codeman-background-result>'
Follow-ups from the PR #175/#176 reviews:
- Rewake helper self-terminates on its own 6h deadline and when orphaned,
instead of relying on Claude Code to reap the poller
- Rewake marker versioned (V2) with a version-agnostic ownership prefix, so
future script updates replace older handlers instead of duplicating them;
regression test covers the V1 to V2 swap
- HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS renamed to HOOK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 10: the hook timeout
field is seconds (the CLI multiplies by 1000), so the curl hooks have
effectively had a ~2.8h timeout since COD-54
- Test echo PTY switches to raw mode: each input byte echoes exactly once
(tty line discipline doubled every line and buffered until Enter)
- test/setup.ts: drain in-flight console-log rpc forwards before environment
teardown (fixes the EnvironmentTeardownError that failed CI twice on the
merge commit with all 3820 tests passing), clean the temp home on process
exit (fully-skipped files leaked it), fix the Windows Playwright cache
fallback path
- test/webview-proxy.test.ts: stop naming the vitest environment directive in
prose; vitest matches it inside comments and silently ran the whole file
under the jsdom environment while the comment claimed node
- CLAUDE.md: document the temp-HOME and echo-PTY test isolation

Making the hook-event secret unconditionally required closes the own-loopback-proxy gap,
but it would also silently 401 the hook curls baked into cases created BEFORE the secret
header existed (COD-54, 2026-06-10): writeHooksConfig only runs at case CREATION, so an
existing/linked case on a password-protected install keeps secret-less curls that the new
gate rejects (degrading idle/stop/teammate/task signalling with no error surfaced).
No-password installs are unaffected — the gate isn't registered without CODEMAN_PASSWORD.
Add `refreshStaleHookSecret(casePath)` and call it on Claude-mode spawns in
POST /api/sessions and POST /api/quick-start (existing-case branch). It regenerates the
hooks block ONLY when settings.local.json already holds Codeman's own hook curls (they
target /api/hook-event) that lack the X-Codeman-Hook-Secret header — a no-op when the
hooks are absent, not ours, or already current, so it never clobbers user customizations
and is cheap on every spawn. Fresh cases are unaffected (writeHooksConfig already wrote
the secret). withSettingsLock serializes it with the model/statusLine writers.
Verified: new test/hook-secret-selfheal.test.ts 5/5 (heal + key-preservation + no-op on
current/foreign/absent/malformed); the PR's cod54 + auth-security suites still pass
(36); tsc, lint, format:check, and npm run build all clean (symbol present in dist).

Review of the plan-usage chip feature (commits since 1.0.0) surfaced several
issues; this fixes all confirmed findings:
- HIGH: applyStatusLineConfig clobbered a user's hand-authored statusLine on
the enable path (the isOurs guard only protected disable). Now bails out when
an existing statusLine isn't ours, on both the enable and disable paths.
- MED: StatusTelemetrySchema used z.optional() (rejects null) on Claude's
undocumented statusline fields — a single stray null 400'd the entire POST and
silently killed the chip's data feed. Switched the modeled fields to .nullish().
- MED: dropping the Token Count / Show Cost header toggles left their features
reading settings.showTokenCount/showCost, but saveAppSettings rebuilds settings
fresh from the DOM, dropping those keys and resetting them to defaults on every
save (re-enabling the token chip with no UI to turn it off). Preserve the prior
stored preference.
- telemetrySignature keyed on contextUsedPercentage (never displayed) and the raw
unrounded %, churning a redundant SSE broadcast + localStorage write + identical
chip re-render on every assistant message. Now keys on the rounded displayed
window values only.
- Plan-usage chip flashed hidden on load (no server-side reveal): renderIndexHtml
now strips header-plan-usage--hidden when enabled, matching btn-multimonitor;
fixes the FOUC and makes the "server renders initial state" comments accurate.
- Serialize all settings.local.json read-modify-write writers in hooks-config via
a shared per-path mutex (previously lock-free; concurrent session-create +
settings-toggle on the same repo could lose writes).
- Hardened the chip's innerHTML against any future string field; removed the dead
_latestPlanUsage field; clamped ctx% in the footer formatter; corrected the
session-create comment (the path is add-only by design — a per-repo settings
file is shared by sibling sessions).
- Tests: new test/routes/status-telemetry-routes.test.ts (route behavior, dedup,
null-tolerance) + NaN/Infinity/fractional and signature-churn unit tests; made
server-index-title.test.ts deterministic against the ambient settings.json.

End-to-end testing on the real install surfaced several issues the unit
tests missed:
- Injection gate excluded real sessions: gated on workingDir under CASES_DIR,
but sessions run in linked cases / real repos. Drop the gate (match
updateCaseModel, which writes settings.local.json unconditionally).
- statusLine curl failed on HTTPS: prod is loopback HTTPS with a self-signed
cert; `curl -s` returns 000. Use `curl -sk` (loopback only). applyStatusLineConfig
now also updates an out-of-date ours-command so the fix propagates.
- Footer hijacked by limits: the in-terminal statusline now shows CURRENT
SESSION status — `Opus 4.8 (1M context) in:562,411 out:1,188 ctx:56%` —
while the account-wide plan limits live only in the header chip.
- Chip blank after reload: persist last-known to localStorage and restore on
load (account-global, slow-moving; 12h freshness guard).
- Readability + color: per-window green/yellow/red by usage (<60 / 60–84 / ≥85),
bolder labels and values.
- Drop the renderIndexHtml strip (client-side reveal only, response-viewer
pattern) — fixes server-index-title test fragility to local settings.
Footer fields flow through context_window.total_input_tokens/total_output_tokens
(schema + parser). Tests updated; verified live (footer, chip, colors, reload
persistence) on the real install.

Surface Claude subscription plan usage limits (5-hour rolling + 7-day
weekly: percent used + reset time) in the header, opt-in via App Settings
→ Display → "Plan Usage Limits" (default OFF, no behavior change when off).
A Codeman-managed Claude statusLine exporter forwards the rate_limits JSON
to a new auth-exempt POST /api/status-telemetry (same loopback + hook-secret
gate as /api/hook-event); parsed telemetry broadcasts over SSE
session:statusTelemetry to a header chip (amber >=80%, red >=95%, reset
times on hover). The exporter prints the same summary back as the
in-terminal footer (print-through).
- src/usage-telemetry.ts: pure parser/formatter (epoch-sec -> ms, clamp,
change signature) + test/usage-telemetry.test.ts
- hooks-config.ts: generateStatusLineCommand + applyStatusLineConfig
(add/remove; never clobbers a user's own statusLine)
- session-routes.ts: inject gate (Claude-only, Codeman-managed cases),
driven by create-payload statusLineTelemetry (session-ui.js)
- schemas.ts: StatusTelemetrySchema + showPlanUsageLimits + payload field
- frontend: header chip, applyHeaderVisibilitySettings toggle,
renderIndexHtml strip, _onSessionStatusTelemetry handler
Schema empirically confirmed against Claude Code 2.1.177 (Claude Max):
only five_hour/seven_day windows exist (no Opus-weekly field); rate_limits
is absent before the first API response and for non-subscriber auth. Design
+ verification method in docs/usage-limits-display-plan.md.

Review fixes for COD-54:
- Generated hook curl commands now present X-Codeman-Hook-Secret, read from
the secret file AT EXECUTION TIME via $CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE (exported
into every managed session's env by tmux buildEnvExports / the direct-PTY
env builders). Without this, every local hook 401'd the moment a managed
tunnel came up — the enforcement existed but nothing presented the secret.
Path-not-value keeps the secret off command lines and out of config files,
and running sessions pick up a newly generated secret with no respawn;
server.start() ensures the file exists up front.
- Hook-secret failures now count into a DEDICATED per-IP bucket
(hookSecretFailures) instead of the shared authFailures map. Legacy
(pre-secret) hook configs fire constantly from 127.0.0.1; counting their
401s against the shared bucket would 429 every cookie-less loopback
request — locking out the Basic-Auth login path (and, through a tunnel,
every client, since tunneled traffic also arrives as 127.0.0.1).
- docs/security-architecture.md: secret-gated hook exemption, dedicated
bucket, COD-55 refusal, and the residual caveat for EXTERNAL loopback
proxies (user-run cloudflared / tailscale serve), which the
managed-tunnel probe cannot see.
- test/cod54-hook-event-auth.test.ts: +3 tests — login path unaffected
after hook-bucket exhaustion; generated hooks reference the header +
$CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE without embedding the value; env builders
export the path only.

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.
* 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.

The hook commands now read stdin JSON from Claude Code (contains tool_name,
tool_input, etc.) and forward it as the data field to the API. This enables
richer notifications showing actual context (e.g., "Bash: docker push prod").
Previously the curl commands only sent event type and session ID, losing
all hook context data.

The auto-accept feature was too aggressive - it would press Enter for any
silence without a completion message, including AskUserQuestion prompts.
Now uses the elicitation_dialog notification hook to detect when Claude is
asking a question, and blocks auto-accept in that case. Only plan mode
approvals (silence with no completion message AND no elicitation signal)
trigger auto-accept.

Wire Claude Code's official hooks system (Notification, Stop) to POST
