Anything typed on a phone vanished whenever the terminal viewport was not scrolled fully to the bottom. Codeman parks the viewport a few rows above the bottom on purpose (scrollToLastNonEmptyLine after a tab switch, or after the keyboard drops and the terminal regrows, so trailing blank rows stay off screen), and the overlay hid itself on a bare viewportY !== baseY test even though the prompt and the cursor were on screen. The text was buffered the whole time and Enter still sent it, which is what made the keyboard look dead.
The overlay now gates on whether the cursor row is inside the viewport (promptRowInViewport), in both the render path and the scroll handler, so a deep scroll into history still hides it. A buffer without cursorY keeps the old bottom-only rule.
Two of Codeman's custom prompt finders made the matching mistake of treating cursorY, which xterm reports relative to baseY, as a screen row; with the gate relaxed that would have painted the text on the wrong line. Both go through cursorViewportRow now, and the Claude finder looks for its glyph from the cursor's screen row up to the top of the live screen only, since a parked viewport shows scrolled-off history whose old composer rows used to be unreachable and would anchor the overlay on the wrong line.
SessionMode gains 'grok', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi: its own PTY, tmux
session, charcoal tab identity ('gk' badge), welcome button, run-mode
entry, cron agentType, Docker and remote-SSH command defaults, and
clone-repo Brain option. Flag surface verified live against grok 1.0.5.
Grok mixes two existing shapes and the wiring follows from that:
- Codex-shaped on permissions: the bypass switch is GrokConfig.alwaysApprove
(--always-approve, grok's bypassPermissions mode; config-level deny rules
still apply on top). The Run button sends it true, like runAntigravity(),
and clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() puts grok in the only-if-sent branch:
a bare grok spawn is grok's own ask-mode default, which is already safe,
so only a sent config needs the flag forced off. Cron needs nothing for
the same reason.
- OpenCode-shaped on rendering: grok is a fullscreen alternate-screen TUI
with mouse support, so it stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode() and lands
on the narrow tmux-attach strip and the 'buffer' local-echo fallthrough
(unmeasured against an authenticated composer; documented fallback is the
'off' branch).
- Pi-shaped on resolution: 'grok' has npm squatters (@vibe-kit/grok-cli
also installs a grok bin), so grok-cli-resolver.ts version-probes every
candidate (grok --version, killSignal SIGKILL, VITEST-gated) and
GET /api/grok/status surfaces path AND version; GROK_VERSION_REGEX is
shared with the dependency registry so doctor and run mode cannot drift.
Env allowlist gains GROK_* plus the XAI_* vendor namespace (XAI_API_KEY is
grok's documented headless auth var), the same narrow-vendor reasoning as
GOOGLE_* for gemini. Resume is id-regexed on purpose: grok's own --resume
also matches session titles, which are arbitrary user strings that must
never reach the bash -c spawn line.
Docker: grok is not on npm, so the agent image installs it in its own step
(xAI's installer has no --dir override; the binary is copied to
/usr/local/bin and root's ~/.grok dropped in the same layer), and
credentials are seeded per-file (auth.json, config.toml, pager.toml; the
dir also holds sessions/, memory/ and the ~160MB binary). Remote SSH routes
through the login-shell wrapper like the other agent CLIs.
Verified end to end on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE with grok 1.0.5
installed: /api/grok/status resolves and reports the probed version,
quick-start spawns a pane whose command line ends in 'grok
--always-approve', the real TUI renders (OAuth device screen on an
unauthenticated box), and grokConfig round-trips through state.json.
Docs: docs/grok-integration.md (user guide) + docs/grok-integration-plan.md
(decisions, verification record, follow-ups).
Tests: test/grok-mode.test.ts, test/grok-cli-resolver.test.ts, plus
extended clamp/system-routes/render-index-html/run-mode-ui/mobile-overview/
local-echo-gating coverage. npm test (the CI gate) green: 5910 tests.

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.

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.

terminal-ui.js: _localEchoPolicy ('buffer'|'predict'|'off') computed at the
end of _updateLocalEchoState with _localEchoEnabled keeping its exact 1.12.2
values; _predictHookOnData called as a plain statement between the buffer
block and Normal Mode (visual-only, try/catch, never returns, never touches
_pendingInput); classifyPredictInput + isCodexComposerRow (baseY-based,
measured /^> /-signature gate) on CodemanTerminalInput; construction beside
the LocalEchoOverlay from the separate bundle with graceful absence;
insertTerminalText/clearTerminalInput/setFontSize/applyTerminalSkin clear or
refresh predictions. app.js: fields + tab-switch and SSE-reconnect clears.
voice-input '\r' branch and keyboard-accessory sendKey clear predictions
(both bypass onData). sendEnterKey needs no change: codex falls through to
the immediate-flush branch.
Layer 4 vm tests: classify truth table (20 cases), composer-row gate incl.
the baseY pin, policy matrix with the 1.12.2 invariants untouched, wire
neutrality + throwing-predictor pins. Stale mobile keyboard codex-buffering
tests repointed at claude; new codex twin asserts write-through streaming,
prediction spans and TTL self-heal.
