A single input over MAX_INPUT_LENGTH (64 KiB) was queued for reliable
delivery, refused by both transports (the WebSocket silently, POST with a
400), and never dropped: the client treated the 400 as transient, so the
frame was re-sent every 2 s forever, blocked every later input for that
session, and came back from localStorage on every reload.
- Client: a paste over the frame limit is split into in-limit frames
(never cutting a surrogate pair) delivered in seq order; over 1 MiB, or
an oversized mux write, it is refused with a toast and never queued.
- Client: the POST drain drops a frame answered 400/413; a WS error ACK
drops it too; frames over the limit persisted by an older build are
pruned on load.
- Server: the WebSocket answers an oversized sequenced frame with
{t:'ia',seq,err:'too_large',max} instead of silence (an older client
reads that as a plain ACK and drops it); the POST schema uses
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH instead of a second 100000 limit.
Verified end to end on an isolated instance: a 110 KB paste reached the
PTY byte-identical over both the WebSocket and the POST path, a poisoned
120 KB persisted frame was pruned on load, and a 2 MB paste showed the
refusal toast with nothing queued.

Browser input is delivered exactly once by (clientId, seq). The server records a
watermark per clientId and discards anything not above it as a duplicate — but
acknowledged it with an ACK indistinguishable from "applied". The client then
dropped the record from its queue, the UI looked perfectly normal, and the
terminal received nothing at all.
The counter is persisted to localStorage through a debounced write. Kill the page
between "sent" and "persisted" and the restored counter is below the server's
watermark, after which every keystroke lands under it, is discarded, and is
ACKed. Reloading does not help: the clientId is restored from localStorage
alongside that stale counter. Measured on a real session — typing into the same
session from a fresh browser (new clientId, no watermark on the server) worked
perfectly, which is what localised the fault to client state.
Three changes:
- on rejection the server replies {"t":"ia",seq,"dup":true,"last":<watermark>}.
It still ACKs, so the client can drop the record from its queue, but it now
says the input was not applied and supplies the number needed to climb out.
- on `dup` the client lifts its counter above the watermark and re-queues.
⚠️ Only records whose FIRST delivery is being retried are re-sent: a retry
judged duplicate means the mechanism is working (the original did arrive), and
re-sending would type the same text twice.
- the counter is now persisted synchronously. The queue payload can stay
debounced, but the counter is the thing that has to survive a crash, and
leaving it on the lossiest path cancels the only guarantee there is.
⚠️ Reading the watermark is defensive: the session arrives through a structured
port, and a port missing that method must not take the whole input path down —
a throw inside the handler means the ACK is never sent and the record is stuck in
the client queue forever, which is worse than the ambiguity being fixed. A mock
port's test timeout is what exposed this.
(cherry picked from commit 05bb7081cc)
Two blockers from the pre-submission gate, both reproduced before fixing.
1. The changeset claimed the non-mux POST branch answers OPERATION_FAILED. The
code says the opposite in as many words ("NOT an error response,
deliberately"), the commit message says response codes are unchanged, and the
test asserts the 200. It was a leftover sentence from an earlier iteration that
would have shipped into the CHANGELOG announcing an API contract change that
does not exist — and errorCode values are SemVer-relevant per
docs/versioning-policy.md.
2. The WebSocket half of the fix had no test protection: reverting ws-routes.ts to
master left all 9 tests green, while the commit message sells "plus the whole
WebSocket path" as part of the fix. Three tests added against the real WS
route — ACK on delivery, ACK withheld and seq re-opened when the write did not
land, and a deduplicated frame still ACKed so the client can drop it. Verified
the other way round: with ws-routes.ts reverted, the middle one fails.

MAX_WS_PER_SESSION was gated by a bare Map<sessionId,number> counter,
incremented on upgrade and decremented only on the old socket's async
close. A client that dropped and immediately reconnected could land its
new upgrade before the old socket's close fired, briefly over-counting and
tripping a spurious 4008 (-> HTTP fallback). The limit also counted raw
sockets, so a reconnecting client consumed a new slot instead of its own.
Replace the counter with WsConnectionRegistry (new pure, unit-tested module)
that tracks live sockets per session keyed by clientId. A same-cid upgrade
SUPERSEDES its own socket (evicts the stale one with close 4010, reuses the
slot, no net count change) -> a reconnect can never be rejected by the cap.
The reliable-input protocol (shouldApplyInput(cid,seq)) already assumes one
logical client per cid per session, so same-cid eviction is principled, not
a regression of multi-tab (which already collides on seq). Slots are freed
EAGERLY on error/terminate, not just async close; close is identity-matched
so a superseded socket's late close is a no-op. cid-less upgrades are
admitted anonymously up to the cap and never evict (backward-compat).
Client sends cid on the WS upgrade URL (?cid=, encoded, omitted if absent).
Tests: ws-connection-registry.test.ts (reconnect-reclaim at cap, rejects
N+1th distinct, eager-terminate frees slot, cid-less up-to-limit + no-evict,
late-close-no-evict, per-session isolation) + route integration in
ws-routes.test.ts (real upgrade through the cap). 45/45 across registry +
ws-routes + input-send-order + ws-reconnect-plan; tsc 0, build, prettier,
frontend-syntax clean.
Review follow-ups on PR #111 (rebased onto master post-#112/#113):
Resize arbitration redesigned (review blocker 2): the previous
'cols < _ptyCols' guard froze a mobile-only session's PTY at the spawn
default — narrow phones rendered clipped and could never re-fit. The
guard now uses connection-scoped desktop sizing claims instead:
ws-routes registers a claim on a desktop-typed resize and releases it
on socket close (or when the same connection later reports a small
viewport), and Session.resize() ignores mobile/tablet resizes only
while at least one desktop connection holds a claim. A phone alone
fully controls its size (shrink, rows-only shrink, re-grow); a phone
glancing at a desktop-driven session can no longer reflow it.
mobile-handlers' keyboard open/close resize now declares its viewport
type so it participates in arbitration. Tests rewritten to cover
mobile-only shrink/rows-only/re-grow, claim/release lifecycle, multi-
claim behavior, and untyped legacy resizes; ws-routes test covers the
claim lifecycle over a real socket.
Solo/detached header restored (review blocker 3): index.html had
removed #soloSessionTitle and #soloRedockBtn, which _applySoloMode
still references — every detached window hit a null deref. Both are
back alongside the new mobile utility toggle.
Desktop leak fixed (review should-fix): .mobile-header-utility-toggle
had no rule outside the <=768px media queries, so the raw button
rendered on desktop. styles.css now hides it by default; the mobile/
tablet queries re-enable it.
Visual-regression baselines reverted to master (review should-fix):
the 18 contributor-machine PNGs are environment-specific (8 of the
behavioral tests already report environment-sensitive failures across
machines); re-baseline deliberately on the canonical machine instead.
The 24 behavioral keyboard/layout/tabs tests are kept as-is.
AGENTS.md trimmed to a pointer at CLAUDE.md (review should-fix) to
avoid drift between duplicated guidance.
Also dropped a dead getAttachmentHistoryForPersist stub (codex-branch
residue — no such method exists in src/).

Adds an always-on Host-header allowlist and a cross-site Origin/CSRF guard,
hardens the text/plain body parser, validates the WebSocket upgrade origin,
and escapes AI-derived fields in the subagent panel. Closes the two
CRITICALs and 5 HIGHs from the 2026-06-09 adversarial security review.
- C1: no Host allowlist -> DNS rebinding drove the full API (RCE) on the
default no-auth loopback install. New registerHostGuard rejects rebound
custom domains; allows loopback, any IP literal, the bind host,
*.ts.net / *.trycloudflare.com / *.cfargotunnel.com, the active managed
tunnel, and CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS.
- C2: a global text/plain parser JSON-parsed every body, enabling cross-site
simple-request CSRF. Parser now keeps the raw string; /api/crash-diag
self-parses; the global Origin guard rejects cross-site state changes.
- H1/H3/H6: self-update, session create/input, and settings/tunnel toggles
were CSRF-triggerable -> now covered by the Origin guard.
- H4: the subagent activity panel injected raw AI tool names/inputs into
innerHTML (executed under CSP 'unsafe-inline'). All sinks now escapeHtml'd.
- H5: the WebSocket upgrade had no Origin/Host check (CSWSH) -> now validated.
A missing Origin is allowed so curl/CLI and Claude Code hooks keep working;
custom reverse-proxy domains need CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=host,.suffix.
Deferred: H2 (self-update tag signing, needs signing infra) and CSP
'unsafe-inline' removal (needs a nonce migration).
Tests: test/network-host-guard.test.ts (19), test/routes/ws-routes.test.ts
updated. Report: docs/reports/security-review-2026-06-09.md

WebSocket route: add socket error handler to prevent process crashes, enforce
per-session connection limit (max 5), track/decrement counts on close.
CJK input: add destroy() method with proper listener cleanup, guard against
double-init, add maxlength/aria-label to textarea, use language-neutral
placeholder, explicitly clear cjkActive on hide.
install.sh: fix update() to use $BRANCH and $REPO_URL instead of hardcoded
origin/master — fork users were silently switched back to master on update.
README: fix broken markdown table (paragraph concatenated into last cell),
add CODEMAN_NODE_VERSION to env var table.
Tests: add 8 new test cases for batch coalescing, flush threshold, unknown
message types, connection limit, heartbeat, readyState guards. Import
MAX_INPUT_LENGTH from config, add connectWs timeout, replace setTimeout
with vi.waitFor in cleanup test.
