The owner's picks after testing the 1.36.0 beta:
- Header Stats Style defaults to Compact (two pills with rings) instead of
Tiles. The resolver, the pre-paint stamp and the App Settings option all
agree; an unknown value now reads as compact.
- The Tiles header button is ON by default everywhere but handhelds (their
defaults object keeps it off, and the button still needs a 1180px window).
The Ctrl+Shift+G gate in tileShortcutFor() now resolves an absent key
through the device defaults too, so the chord and the button cannot
disagree; before, it required a stored true.
- Tab Layout defaults to Classic (the single strip, as before). By state, By
case and Ledger stay available as opt-ins. The tile-grid beta the owner used
last had only this layout, and it is the one they wanted back.
zh-CN option labels follow the new "(default)" markers; docs and wiki updated.

Only the stepper half of #428 lands here. Its other half, the phone case
picker search, shipped separately in #488 (1.33.1) and is kept as it is on
master, so every file of this merge starts from ours and only the stepper
changes are ported onto it:
- index.html: the second `− 1 +` group (#shellCount) after Run Shell is gone.
- session-ui.js: incrementShellCount/decrementShellCount are removed and
runShell() reads the toolbar's one stepper through _readTabCount(), the
helper master grew since #428 was opened (same clamp and absent-element
fallback as #428's _toolbarInstanceCount()).
- run-mode-ui tests stub #tabCount instead of #shellCount, plus #428's
"toolbar instance count" block adapted to _readTabCount() and a markup check.
- wiki: "the instance counter", singular.

Drawing only the selected tab's family hid every other connection until you
clicked into one. All families are drawn again (still as routed trees); the
selected tab's families (what it spawned, and the family it was spawned into)
get .lineage-family--focus: 2.5px instead of 1.5px, full opacity instead of
0.75, a larger end dot, and drawn last so nothing covers them.
Lanes follow strip order (cycling through CodemanLineage.MAX_LANES, 3), never
the selection, so a family's lines never move when you click a tab.

Lineage lines used to draw one glowing dashed bezier per parent/child pair,
hanging below the tab strip, for every family at once. With a parent on row 3
of a wrapped strip and ten children below it, the curves crossed every lower
row's tab names and ran through the terminal text.
- One rounded orthogonal tree per spawning tab: every route starts at the
parent, so siblings share a trunk. 1.5px, solid, 1px dark outline; only a
working child's branch is dashed.
- Routes run only through the gaps between tab rows, joined by a spine left of
every row (computeLineageTree/computeLineageRows in constants.js), so they
never cross a tab or reach the terminal. The vertical rail gets the same tree
on its existing left track.
- Only the selected tab's family is drawn (what it spawned, plus its parent and
siblings). Selection redraws, and the strip's size transitionend redraws once
more, since the active tab widens for ~150ms after the selection redraw.
- The routing room is reserved by .session-tabs.lineage-tree, keyed on whether
any lineage exists, never on the selection, so a tab switch never resizes the
header or the PTY.
- Colours stay per spawning tab, now claimed in strip order for every family so
selection order never decides who gets the skin blue.

Six was tested smooth on the owner's desktop; nine missed the headless
frame bar and is untested on real hardware. TILE_GRID_MAX (constants.js)
is now 6 and stays the one cap every limit reads; the layout table gets
its own bound, TILE_LAYOUT_MAX = 9, so the 7 to 9 layouts keep working
(unreachable) and going back to nine is that one line.
Every way in stops at the cap: opening, addTile, a tile's +, a session
Run makes, Ctrl/Cmd+click, the picker, "Open group as tiles", and a stored
grid with more ids (it comes back as its first six, focus kept only if it
survives, a dropped zoom cleared, row fractions that no longer match the
3x2 reset). The limits now go through one helper, _tileGridLimit(), whose
texts say which limit binds: "Up to 6 tiles" / "The grid holds at most 6
tiles" when it is the cap, "This window fits N" when it is the window.

- CLAUDE.md: a Tile grid paragraph beside the split-pane one (parking, the

the exited-agent case), tile-grid.js (7.6) in the load order, the
desktop-gated header markers and the Tiles picker in the z-index stack.
- docs/architecture-invariants.md#tile-grid: the mechanisms and the reason
behind each rule; the split section now says where a waiting grid load
differs and that every capture carries a deadline.
- docs/wiki/Tile-Grid.md: the user manual page (turning it on, the ways in, a

- docs/tile-grid-plan.md: status updated, and an "as built" list of where PR 2
went another way than the spec.

Close Session was bound to Ctrl+W by default. Ctrl+W is delete-word in
every shell, readline prompt and agent CLI, so muscle memory killed the
session (its tmux pane and CLI, with no confirm) mid-sentence, and with
the split pane open it was not even the pane being typed in.
Close Session now has no default key: the capture-phase handler lets
Ctrl+W through and xterm sends ^W to whichever pane is focused. The
action stays in the registry and can be bound in App Settings ->
Shortcuts; the shortcut overlay shows it as not bound. The Help modal,
CLAUDE.md, the split and tile-grid specs and three wiki pages stop
advertising Ctrl+W as kill. Owner decision (tile-grid decision 5).

Compact now draws every reading the same way, ring then label then
value: CPU and MEM get an accent ring (red past 80%, like their value)
in place of the sparklines, the plan windows keep their green, yellow
or red rings, the dot separators go, and both pills share one label and
one value style. The sparkline markup, history and CSS are removed.

Idle is the default state of a tab, so naming it only adds noise. The
idle group is now quiet: its heading element stays (it anchors the row's
order band and, as the first row, holds its place beside the brand) but
draws no label or count. Needs you, Waiting and Working are unchanged.

Tab Grouping becomes Tab Layout (tabArrangement: 'state' | 'case' |
'ledger' | 'classic', default 'state'), the first row of App Settings,
Appearance, Tabs, so the old and the new strip are one choice apart.
- By case (option A): each case's tabs sit in one .tab-cluster box in
first-appearance order, labelled with the case and its count, coloured
by a stable hash into the session palette. Membership is
_mobileOverviewCaseFor(), the home screens' own match. Inside a box with
company a generated w75-api-gateway reads w75; the -<case> stays in the
DOM in a .tab-name-case span only .tabs-clusters hides. The incremental
render path rebuilds only when the cluster structure key changes. The
rail and the sidebar get a labelled section per case; phones dissolve
the boxes into the chip row. Drag stays inside one box.
- Ledger (option B): CSS only on .tabs-ledger, desktop header strip: an
auto-fill column grid of equal cells in mono type with a 3px status
bar. Its markup is identical to classic's.
- State Order (tabStateOrder: 'urgent-first' | 'urgent-last'): flips the
by-state groups so needs you can be the bottom row.
- By state: the label column is measured to the widest label on screen
and the labels are right-aligned in it, instead of a fixed 92px gutter
that left short labels far from their tabs.
- Tiles: a three-row grid (label, value, bar) with pixel line-heights in
the bundled JetBrains Mono, 36px like the header. The bar used to lie
over a fixed 28px tile, and a taller system mono (SF Mono) pushed the
value into it. The WS tile's grid moved onto an inner .connection-tile
span because JS writes the indicator's display inline. Compact uses the
same font and a matched WS size.
Tests: test/tab-clusters.test.ts (new), plus the rename and the reversed
order in test/tab-triage.test.ts.

Two directions from Discussion #426, each a per-device setting and the
new default.
Tab Grouping (tabGrouping: 'state' | 'none', default 'state', option C):
tabs are grouped needs you (red, plus failed sessions), waiting (yellow),
working and idle (also ended, exited panes and web tabs), most urgent on
top. The desktop header strip draws a row per group with its label and
count in a left gutter; the flat vertical rail and the sidebar draw a
section per group; tablets keep their scrolling row with inline dividers;
phones keep the chip row in group order without headings. Classification
is the home screens' own (_mobileOverviewState/_mobileOverviewExit), the
fold into four groups is pure in CodemanTabTriage (constants.js). It is
flex `order` plus aria-hidden heading/break elements reconciled in place
after both render paths, never a DOM reorder, so Alt+N, the keyboard walk
and drag keep reading tab order; a drop is refused across groups. Named
groups in the vertical rail take precedence.
Header Stats Style (headerStatsStyle: 'classic' | 'compact' | 'tiles',
default 'tiles', option G): tiles give WS, CPU, MEM and each plan window
a label-over-value tile with a bar underneath; compact is one WS/CPU/MEM
pill with sparklines plus a plan-ring pill; classic is the header as
before. Desktop only (classic below 768px and in solo windows). The
clustered styles move #connectionIndicator into #headerSystemStats and
WS stays out of a hidden System Stats pill. The extra parts are always
rendered and hidden by default in CSS, so classic is unchanged.
Tests: test/tab-triage.test.ts, test/header-stats-style.test.ts; three
source pins in test/tab-rail-order.test.ts follow renamed lines.

- createEditCoordinator's finally block rebases the edits queued during a write; one that the write's 409 made inapplicable was dropped with no toast. It is now reported once, like the main loop and adoptExternal do (found by the PR bot's re-review; regression test fails without it).
- At the 32-group server cap the row and group menus no longer offer a new group, which could only fail with an untranslated 'group limit reached'. MAX_GROUPS is exported from tab-layout-browser.js.
- CLAUDE.md names the pagehide keepalive as the one deliberate exception to 'never PUT the layout outside the coordinator'.
- The Dashboard wiki page describes tab groups in the vertical rail row.

- A cached list of repositories below a folder is re-checked against the
Docker case workspaces as they are now, so a repository linked as a Docker
workspace within the 30 s list cache is no longer inspected.
- A diff past runGit's 8 MB output bound is cut short from git's partial
output instead of failing with a 500.
- The browser test waits for its slow route handler on unroute
(unrouteAll behavior 'wait'), so a late route.continue() cannot fail the run.
- "Upstream is gone" now reads "Upstream not on remote", true for a branch
that was never pushed as well as one deleted on the remote; docs mirrored.
- The diff route checks the repository against the workspace's own cached
repository list (findWorkspaceRepo) and refreshes only that repository,
instead of a fresh status of every repository in the folder.
- CLAUDE.md: a Key Patterns entry for the git read surface and its rules.
- The enclosing repository is identified with one cached rev-parse before
any full status, so an unrelated repository above the workspace costs one
process and its failure no longer hides the repositories below.
- Wiki: the bottom-bar indicator moves out of the header-controls table.

- _logScrollRouting() reports cliMouseTracking, the gate's new input, in both
the de-dup signature and the console line (xterm's own mouseTracking stays
'none' for Claude, so it gave no reason for a no).
- Restore two guard tests the new gate made vacuous: the local-scrollback
opt-out footgun test and the codex/gemini "no version rescues it" fixtures
now set cliMouseTracking: true, so removing the opt-out or re-adding codex to
the gate fails again.
- Update the comments and architecture-invariants lines that still described
the version-only rule (wheel handler header, gate doc, the false paths of
_maybePageCliTranscript, "holds a tracking mode on continuously").
- Name both fullscreen switches (CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 and "tui":
"fullscreen" in ~/.claude/settings.json) in the code comment, the invariants
and the two wiki pages.

Claude 2.1.280 renders inline by default: no alt screen, no mouse tracking, transcript in real scrollback. The version-only gate still sent every wheel tick and touch swipe as SGR reports, which Claude ignores, so scrolling a Claude session was dead while codex (routed locally) worked. Gate forwarding on the server-recorded cliMouseTracking flag, which fullscreen mode (CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1) sets.
A burst of output leaves a Shell pane with about one screen of browser
scrollback, because tmux repaints the burst instead of scrolling it,
while tmux itself keeps every line. Shell declined the scroll-to-top
re-pull other modes use, and the Load full history button renders only
once a replay was truncated, so a Shell tab under 1 MiB could not
scroll back at all.
The scroll gesture now pulls ?full=1&tail=TERMINAL_TAIL_SIZE, the same
bound a tab switch loads; the route's existing tail cut marks longer
histories 'tail', so the banner still offers the unbounded pull. A
window no longer than the browser's buffer is not rewritten.

- docs/wiki/The-Dashboard.md: the tab-appearance table gains the exited
state (muted dot plus an `exited (137)` badge) and explains the bare
`exited` variant.
- The detailed sidebar and rail no longer pair the muted dot with an "idle"
pill: an exited session's pill reads "exited" (neutral styling) and its
since stamp measures from the observed exit. This is a label override on
the row model, not a new state, so SESSION_ACTIVITY_RANK and the home
screen order are untouched, and a pending alert still keeps its own pill.
The row signature includes the flag so the incremental path repaints it.
- The exited badge is aria-hidden like its sibling badges, and the exit is
appended to the tab's aria-label in both render paths through one helper.
- test/tmux-manager.test.ts re-adds the junk-trailing-field parser case
against parsePaneRows.

CLAUDE.md previously only mentioned split-pane in the load-order list,
with nothing in the Architecture/frontend prose the way every other
feature gets, and its own module count was one stale (34, should have
been bumped to 35 when terminal-split.js was added). Add a short
pointer-style paragraph next to the other terminal features, fix the
count.
docs/wiki/The-Dashboard.md's header button table and
docs/wiki/Settings-Reference.md's header chips list are the two
user-facing surfaces that never mention Split at all; added both, plus
a note that the feature is desktop-only regardless of the setting.
docs/split-pane-sessions-plan.md: recorded the one design note that
isn't a code change — the global capture-phase shortcut handler always
resolves against Pane A, so Ctrl+L/Ctrl+W typed into Pane B affects the
other session. Not fixed for v1, same reasoning as the rest of the
"deliberately plainer" section.

The wiki was written for seven run modes and never received Grok Build, DeepSeek
Harness or OMP. They now appear everywhere the others do: the modes table and
per-CLI notes, install commands, environment prefixes, the Quick Start table, the
requirements rows, the vocabulary, and every "seven modes" count.
The 1.27 to 1.29.0 changes land on the pages that own them: attaching a case to an
existing container, multi-case adoption and the copy-a-case picker (Docker Cases);
file reads over ssh in remote cases and what stays unavailable (Remote SSH Sessions,
Working With Files, Security); single-page app routing, frame recovery, localhost
links as tabs and the egress guard (Web Tabs); DeepSeek as the one non-Claude mode
with real stop/blocked signals and Approvals items, Codex's own work detection,
last-response, the model-endpoint routes and refreshed counts (HTTP API, Driving
From An Agent, Hooks, Notifications, Keeping Agents Running, Core Concepts);
Shift+drag, right-click copy, Auto Copy, the Ctrl+Z guard, font weight, the vertical
rail and its activity sort (Keyboard Shortcuts, Input And Voice, The Dashboard,
Settings Reference); the 600px phone cutoff, Codex shift arrows and iPhone Duo
(Mobile Guide); the Docker Compose route and its update rule (Installation, Running
As A Service); four new symptom entries and a "which CLIs" question (Troubleshooting,
FAQ).
Custom model endpoints are deliberately left to #430, which adds that page and edits
Agent CLIs, Settings Reference and the sidebar; these edits stay out of the regions
#430, #428 and #376 touch, and all three still merge cleanly on top.
Both READMEs: the web-tab menu entry is labelled "Add URL" in the UI, not
"Add dashboard".

Finishes #376. The contributed keystroke tracker sat on the raw byte stream
and named tabs wrong five ways (every prompt, every write path, a bare Esc
eating the next prompt's first character, pasted newlines as Enter, any CSI
clearing the draft) and replaced the whole name, which dropped the case from
the tab and reset the w<n> counter. This lands the feature with each of those
closed:
- First prompt means the first: applyAutoName() flips a placeholder to
`auto` whether or not the string changed. nameSource is now the tri-state
placeholder | auto | manual; the name setter is the only manual path.
- Only user-originated input counts: write()/writeViaMux() take
SessionWriteOptions.fromUser, set by the browser WS path and POST /input
only, so Ralph, respawn, cron, approvals and the trust-dialog keys can
never name a tab. A startMode 'shell' CLI never feeds the tracker (a
capability, not an id check); the send-key route feeds trackUserInput()
because its line feed bypasses the session.
- Prefix form `w3-case: title`: parseSessionPrefix() already renders it as
the title with the prefix in the tooltip and the next-session counter
still matches it. Composed within MAX_SESSION_NAME_LENGTH.
- Tracker rules per key: bare Esc resolves at chunk end; mouse/focus
reports, Tab, cursor keys, Shift+Tab are no-ops; Up/Down and Ctrl+P/N/R
taint the draft so Enter submits nothing rather than a fragment;
bracketed-paste newlines and Ctrl+J / Shift+Enter join with one space;
the draft keeps its head past 8192 code points; an escape past 64 bytes
is abandoned.
- Title: slash commands by shape (a path is a prompt), `!` escapes
refused, first sentence only past 8 code points ("e.g." is not a title),
72 code points on a word boundary.
- Synced `autoNameSessions` setting, default OFF (the prompt reaches
mux-sessions.json, session:updated and /api/search), App Settings ->
Appearance -> Tabs, read fresh per prompt after the eligibility check.
Tests: test/session-auto-name.test.ts (tracker, title, composition,
ownership, emit gating), the wiring test (once, prefix, setting off,
manual protected), test/routes/session-name-routes.test.ts (PUT /name
flips to manual and persists). Verified live on an isolated instance: API
and browser-typed prompts name the tab, a second prompt does not, shells
and renamed tabs are untouched, nameSource survives a restart.

The desktop toolbar carried two identical "minus 1 plus" instance steppers side
by side, one after Run and one after Run Shell. The second (#shellCount) is
gone for a cleaner strip.
Run Shell keeps the capability: both launch paths now read the remaining
#tabCount control through _toolbarInstanceCount(), which also makes an absent
stepper read as 1 instead of throwing. That matters because the group is
display:none on phones and tablets, and because the Run dropdown's
Terminal / Shell entry routes through runShell() too, where the visible counter
was previously ignored.
Desktop only: both steppers were already hidden under 1024px.

30 pages covering install, concepts, the dashboard, the agent CLIs, unattended
runs, remote and Docker cases, security and the HTTP API, plus a sidebar and a
footer. The wiki repo has no CI and no review, so docs/wiki is the source of
truth and .github/workflows/wiki-sync.yml mirrors it on every push to master.
The workflow refuses to mirror when docs/wiki is missing or holds no pages,
because it deletes before it copies and would otherwise publish the deletion of
every page. The footer carries a {{VERSION}} placeholder stamped at publish
time rather than a hand-written version, which went stale on every release.
