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.

A 15-agent audit of the merged tree confirmed 9 envelope/contract bugs;
all fixed here, with live-server contract tests added:
Blockers (fresh-install quick start broken):
- session-ui.js runClaude/runShell unwrapped .data from the /api/cases/:name
404 error envelope (which has no data key), so a not-yet-created case threw
TypeError instead of triggering the auto-create fallback. Now '?.data ?? {}'.
Contract violations on the new stable surface:
- Unknown /api routes returned HTTP 404 with {success:true,...} (Fastify's
default not-found payload was wrapped by the envelope hook). Added a
setNotFoundHandler returning the standard error envelope for /api paths.
- POST /api/events/subscribe 400 body became {success:true,data:{error}};
now createErrorResponse(INVALID_INPUT).
- POST /api/clipboard validation error lacked errorCode and shipped HTTP 200;
now createErrorResponse(INVALID_INPUT) -> 400.
- POST /api/run catch path returned bare {success:false,sessionId,error}
(HTTP 200, no errorCode); now OPERATION_FAILED envelope -> 422 with the
dead session id in the message.
- DELETE tail-file/:streamId returned {success: closed}, colliding with the
envelope discriminator; now returns {closed}.
Dead/regressed UI paths:
- Plan history modal could never open: route returned the bare history array
under data while the frontend read data.data.history/currentVersion. Route
now returns {history, currentVersion}; modal task count fixed to stats.total.
- Self-update error toast read j.error.message from the string-typed envelope
error, always falling back to the generic message; now reads the string.
Cleanup:
- Removed the stale QuickStartResponse type (unreferenced; documented the
pre-envelope shape and invited success-key collisions).
Tests: new test/http-contract.test.ts boots a real WebServer (port 3168) and
pins the envelope, /api/v1 alias, error statuses, and the /api 404 shape —
the route-test harness does not install the server-level hook, so these need
the live server. Updated file-routes/plan-routes/scheduled-runs tests to the
fixed shapes.

* 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.

- Update app.js line count: ~12K → ~11.5K
- Correct route handler counts (113 → 111, per-group fixes)
- Add code style, ESM gotcha, env vars, route test, lifecycle log docs

* 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.

across 6 distro families (macOS, Debian, Fedora, Arch, Alpine, SUSE)
- Add tunnel systemd service setup helper
- Replace post-install instructions with interactive launch menu
(run now / systemd service / skip)
- Uninstall now cleans up both codeman-web and codeman-tunnel services

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).
