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.

- routes/admin-routes.ts: GET/POST /api/admin/users, PATCH/DELETE
/api/admin/users/:username, reset-password, logout. Multi-user only (404
otherwise), requireAdmin, last-admin invariants, one-time-password on create /
reset (returned once + mustChangePassword), disable/reset/delete revoke cookie
sessions, delete kills the user's live sessions first (normal teardown) and can
delete their space (guarded). Per-user stats (live/active sessions, case count).
- web/admin-audit.ts: append-only ~/.codeman/admin-audit.jsonl (timestamp, acting
admin, action, target, IP) for every user-management action.
- SSE admin:usersChanged + auth:passwordChangeRequired (sse-events.ts + constants.js).
fix(user-store): serialize users.json read-modify-write
touchLastLogin fires on every Basic auth (fire-and-forget) and was racing route
writes (create/update), clobbering records — a real corruption bug surfaced by
the admin tests. All mutators now run under a single write lock, and
touchLastLogin is throttled to once/minute per user to bound disk churn.
Tests: test/admin-routes.test.ts (8, live server) + user-store lock verified by
the existing user-store suite.
