The opt-in multi-user feature's only enforcement is web-layer scoping
(all sessions share one OS account). An adversarial review found 8 critical
+ 7 high cross-user holes that defeated it, plus mediums; all fixed here.
Single-user (flag-off) behavior stays byte-identical apart from documented
consistency deltas.
Ownership / confinement:
- DELETE /api/sessions (bulk) + /:id now owner-scope / findSessionOrFail
- quick-start, cron (create+fire), scheduled runs confine workingDir to the
owner's space; case link/docker-link/docker-import confine the host path
- resolveCasePath no longer resolves linked cases for non-admins; foreign
remote/docker cases are skipped (fall through to the caller's own local case)
- history, subagents/workflows, mux-sessions, orchestrator, cron run-history,
away-digest, and remote/docker host reads are owner- or admin-scoped
Permission policy (section 6.3):
- non-granted users are downgraded at every spawn site incl. legacy
/api/scheduled, PlanOrchestrator one-shots, remote launch, and the cron-fire
gemini/codex bypass switches; resolveClaudeModeForUsername now fails closed
Auth / store:
- verify-first login throttle (a correct password is never locked out),
/ws terminal subject to the change-password lockbox, cookie fast-path
re-validates identity live, role/grant changes revoke sessions, admin delete
runs the last-admin guard before any teardown
- users.json: distinguish missing (ENOENT) from corrupt/unreadable so a bad
read can't overwrite all accounts; unique per-process temp write path
Event streams:
- debounced session:updated + batched task:updated, clipboard, and push
notifications route by owner (fail closed); getLightState hides machine-wide
globalStats from non-admins
Tests: two suites updated to assert the fixed (secure) behavior. tsc, eslint,
and test:ci all green.

Threads per-user ownership through sessions, cases, cron, and the permission
policy. All scoping is a no-op in single-user mode (isMultiUserMode() guards).
Sessions
- Session.owner stamped at every create path from req.authUser / job.owner:
POST /api/sessions, /api/run, /api/quick-start, ralph start, cron launch,
plan generation. Round-trips through recovery (MuxSession.owner mirror, read
muxSession.owner ?? savedState?.owner) and the mux layer.
- findSessionOrFail(ctx, id, req) now does a NOT_FOUND owner check (never 403, so
other users' session existence is not leaked); wired at ~50 call sites.
- List endpoints filtered by owner: GET /api/sessions, /api/sessions/unified
(live+persisted+lifecycle scoped, host-wide transcripts admin-only), cron jobs.
Permission policy (section 6.3)
- resolveClaudeModeForUsername wraps getClaudeModeConfig at every spawn site so a
non-granted user is forced to --permission-mode auto (bypass -> auto), including
recovery (or a reboot would un-downgrade). buildPromptArgs now respects the
session's claudeMode, closing the one-shot (runPrompt) bypass hole.
- Shell mode and cron launchCommand require canBypassPermissions: 403 at
POST /api/sessions, /api/quick-start create, cron job create, AND cron fire time
(re-checked against the owner's current grant).
Cases
- resolveCasesDir(user): per-user ~/codeman-users/<name>/cases in multi-user, the
shared ~/codeman-cases otherwise. All case CRUD + ralph + plan + quick-start
resolve through it. resolveCasePath is owner-aware.
- GET /api/cases scoped per user (own folders; legacy linked cases admin-only;
remote/docker cases owner-filtered). RemoteCase/DockerCase gain owner, stamped
at link/quickcreate/import.
- Remote + Docker host CRUD is admin-only.
- Non-admin workingDir confinement (the linchpin): realpath must resolve inside the
user's space, enforced at POST /api/sessions and /api/run BEFORE any disk write.
Limits
- sessionCapacityState / sessionCapacityMessage centralize the global + per-user
cap (CODEMAN_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_USER, default global/2), replacing the 6 copy-pasted
MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS checks.
Tests: test/ownership-scoping.test.ts (case isolation, host-CRUD gate, workingDir +
shell gates, and the scoping helpers). Deferred to phase 4: WS owner gate, SSE
fan-out filtering, file-route preview/thumbnail helper scoping, push routing.

Adds a parallel multi-user auth branch (the single-user Basic-auth path is
left byte-identical). Off unless CODEMAN_MULTIUSER/--multiuser.
- middleware/auth.ts: mode-selecting registerAuthMiddleware. New async
multi-user hook verifies username:password against the user store (scrypt),
mints identity-carrying cookies, decorates req.authUser, enforces a per-IP
AND per-username failure bucket, and the mustChangePassword lockbox. The
hook-secret loopback bypass is now a single shared helper used by both
branches. FastifyRequest.authUser module augmentation.
- ports/auth-port.ts: AuthSessionRecord gains username/role/mustChangePassword.
- user-store.ts: verifyPassword (timing-equalized against user enumeration).
- route-helpers.ts: getAuthUser (synthetic admin fallback), canAccessOwned,
requireAdmin, revokeUserSessions; findSessionOrFail gains an optional req for
a NOT_FOUND owner check (dormant until phase 3 wires callers).
- routes/me-routes.ts: GET /api/me (synthetic admin in single-user) and
POST /api/me/password (verify current, min 8, clear mustChangePassword,
revoke other sessions).
- QR: QrTokenRecord + AuthSessionRecord carry a username; tunnel-manager
mintUserToken / consumeTokenWithIdentity / getQrSvgForCode; /q/:code binds
the cookie to the token's user (rejects identity-less tokens in multi-user);
GET /api/tunnel/qr mints a per-user token. Single-user keeps the rotating token.
- server.ts: bootstrap the initial admin from CODEMAN_USERNAME/PASSWORD on first
boot (refuse to start with no users); multi-user with >= 1 user satisfies the
non-loopback auth requirement and the tunnel-enable guard; userFailures bucket
disposal.
- types/api.ts: FORBIDDEN, PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED, USER_EXISTS, USER_NOT_FOUND,
LAST_ADMIN error codes (message + status wired).
- Session.owner field + getter/setter, SessionState.owner, MuxSession.owner,
CreateSessionOptions.owner (foundation for phase 3 ownership threading).
Tests: test/multiuser-auth.test.ts (10, live server on 3170/3171). Existing auth
suite (auth-security, qr-auth, cod54-hook-event, network-auth-policy) unchanged
and green; full test:ci sweep passes (3519 tests).

Detach a session tab into its own browser window and back.
Detach/undock:
- GET /session/:id serves the SPA in "solo mode", reusing the existing
client (terminal, local-echo overlay, reconnect) so no terminal code is
duplicated. One PTY already fans out to N SSE/WS clients, so a detached
window is just another live client — no server fan-out work was needed.
- A pop-out icon per tab; detached tabs show a badge and focus the popup on
click; closing the popup re-docks. Cross-window state via BroadcastChannel
plus a WindowProxy poll, and survives a dashboard reload (roll-call).
app.detachSession(id) is a single idempotent entry point (future gesture
hook). <base href="/"> so relative assets resolve under /session/:id.
Beta-branch isolation (so it can run alongside a prod Codeman):
- Default port 3000 -> 5000.
- New src/config/instance.ts derives the data dir and tmux socket from
CODEMAN_INSTANCE (default "beta"): ~/.codeman-beta + tmux -L codeman-beta.
Every ~/.codeman path now goes through dataPath()/getDataDir() (state,
mux-sessions, settings, push keys, lifecycle log, screenshots, certs,
linked-cases, subagent window state). Overridable via CODEMAN_INSTANCE /
CODEMAN_DATA_DIR / CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET. Prevents a second instance from
discovering and attaching PTYs to the first instance's live tmux sessions.
Verified: tsc / eslint / prettier / lockfile clean; Playwright E2E (27 checks)
for detach/solo/redock; default isolation confirmed to see zero real sessions.

* 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.

* feat: bundle xterm-zerolag-input as vendor IIFE and add pre-commit hook
Build and postinstall now bundle the local xterm-zerolag-input package
as an IIFE at vendor/xterm-zerolag-input.js with global LocalEchoOverlay
shim. Add git pre-commit hook that runs prettier --check on staged .ts
files to catch format issues before CI.
Also bump constants.js and app.js cache-bust versions to 0.3.0 and add
tunnel upload URL display row in settings.

Split 6,710-line server.ts into focused route modules using port
interfaces for dependency injection. 107/109 routes extracted into
12 domain files with auth middleware, 5 port interfaces, and shared
helpers. Server.ts retains orchestration (SSE, lifecycle, state).
