PR #282 added pi across the prominent surfaces but left the enumerations
that read as exhaustive: the env-prefix allowlist (missing PI_*), the
external-CLI list for stop/blocked, cron's agent types (also missing
antigravity), the narrow-strip mode list, and the claude-only caveats in the
cron and Read My Mind guides. Both READMEs and the four affected docs now agree
with the schema.

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.

The bullet read as a blanket "Codeman has no sandbox", which is wrong and
undersells a headline feature. Two different axes were conflated:
- Integration code cannot be sandboxed by Codeman because Codeman never
launches it. It is the reader's own process, started by them.
- Agent workloads are sandboxed per case via Docker cases, which is the
documented isolation story.
Scopes the claim to integration code and links docs/docker-cases.md, noting
that an integration driving a Docker-backed session inherits that isolation
because it is a property of the session, not the caller.

Adds a pointer to docs/extending-codeman.md at the end of the API section in
README.md and README.zh-CN.md, so the guide is reachable from where people
read about endpoints rather than only from CLAUDE.md.
Reading the README's programmatic guide alongside the new page surfaced three
errors in it, all now fixed:
- POST /api/sessions/:id/input takes `useMux`, not `useScreen`. The latter is
a legacy name that no longer appears in the schema.
- The page told integrators to send `\r` to submit. With `useMux: true` the
server delivers text and Enter as two separate writes (writeViaMux does
send-keys -l then send-keys Enter), so appending `\r` is wrong.
- "Unwrap the envelope" was incomplete: a few legacy GETs put the payload at
the top level, so the advice is now `body.data ?? body`.
Also cross-references the README's programmatic guide, which covers the
in-session case (CODEMAN_MUX, CODEMAN_API_URL, CODEMAN_SESSION_ID,
CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE) that the new page deliberately does not duplicate,
and documents the optional clientId/seq exactly-once fields.

Codeman has no plugin runtime by design: running third-party code inside
the process that spawns agents, on a server people expose over a tunnel,
would trade away the security posture that is a reason to use it. But it
already has four extension seams that work from any language with nothing
installed, and they were undocumented.
Documents web tabs (render your own UI as a tab), the SSE event channel
(react when an agent needs you), the HTTP API plus the codeman CLI (drive
it from a script), and hook events. Every endpoint, schema field, event
name and header in the page was read from source and then verified against
a running instance, including the localhost-only CORS behavior and the SSE
framing the example depends on.
Also corrects a stale line in CLAUDE.md: it claimed the HTTP/SSE API was
internal/unstable, which contradicts docs/versioning-policy.md, where the
API under /api/v1 was finalized as part of the stable surface for the 1.0
cut. No new stability commitment is made here; the page makes an existing
one discoverable.
