The Ralph settings modal sent maxTodos/todoExpirationMinutes but RalphConfigSchema
(zod) stripped them and the ralph-config route never applied them, so the inputs
were silent no-ops.
Fix: add both as optional positive-int fields to RalphConfigSchema; destructure
and apply them in the ralph-config route (matching the maxIterations pattern).
RalphTracker had no setters (the values were module constants) — added per-instance
_maxTodos/_todoExpiryMs (defaulting to the same constants, behavior unchanged),
switched the eviction + expiry sites to read them, and added
setMaxTodos/setTodoExpirationMinutes (minutes→ms) + getters.
Test: route test POSTs the two fields and asserts the route applies them to the
tracker. Verified RED (setters not called — fields stripped) → GREEN. 34/34
ralph-routes tests pass; tsc + eslint(src) + prettier + build clean. Frontend
already sent the fields (no change).
Point 1 of the v1.0 lock-in: commit to a stable HTTP API (the cleanest, fullest form).
Core (centralized):
- Every JSON /api response now uses ONE envelope via a Fastify preSerialization hook (src/web/server.ts): success -> { success:true, data:<payload> }; error -> { success:false, error, errorCode } with a conventional HTTP status. Non-JSON routes (file-raw, tail-file SSE, download, screenshots, /q redirect, WS) are skipped.
- Error-code -> HTTP status is a single source of truth (httpStatusForErrorCode in src/types/api.ts): 400/401/404/409/422/429/500. Expanded ApiErrorCode (added UNAUTHORIZED, CONFLICT, RATE_LIMITED). Errors are no longer HTTP 200.
- Versioned alias: /api/v1/* rewrites to /api/* (rewriteApiV1Url), so external clients pin to a stable surface while the bundled UI keeps using /api/*.
- Handlers stripped of manual 'success:true' (50 across 14 route files) so they return bare payloads the hook wraps uniformly; fixed the mux DELETE {success:<bool>} envelope collision (-> {killed}).
Frontend (48 call sites across 10 files):
- _apiJson() auto-unwraps { success:true, data } -> data (null on error), so most bare-shape readers are transparent. Raw-fetch sites relocate payload reads under .data; success/res.ok/error checks unchanged.
Docs: new docs/api-reference.md (envelope, status table, error codes, /api/v1, SSE); versioning-policy.md flipped — the HTTP/SSE API is now part of the stable, SemVer-covered surface.
Verification: full unit/route suite green (2680 passed) incl. ~166 updated assertions across 24 test files; typecheck/lint/format/frontend-syntax clean; a headless-chromium smoke loaded the migrated UI and drove the panels with 0 console/page errors; /api/status and /api/v1/status confirmed returning the uniform envelope live.

* fix(test): share route error handler with test harness + fix stale assertions
The route test harness built a bare Fastify instance without the production
global error handler (server.ts), so structured errors thrown by route helpers
(findSessionOrFail → 404, parseBody → 400) fell through to Fastify's default
handler — yielding a `{statusCode,error,message}` body instead of the
`{success:false,...}` shape, and the tests asserted the old implicit-200
behavior. 51 route tests across 7 files were red.
- Extract the handler into src/web/route-error-handler.ts; server.ts and the
test harness now install the identical handler (single source of truth).
- Correct stale assertions across route test files: throw-based error paths
now assert 404 (unknown session) / 400 (invalid body); genuine in-handler
`return createErrorResponse(...)` paths (200 + success:false) left untouched.
- Reformat a few test files prettier flagged (pre-existing non-compliance).
Route suite: 307/307 passing (was 256/307). No production behavior change.
* test(respawn): mock child_process so AI checker never spawns real processes
respawn-controller.test.ts drives the AI idle checker (ai-checker-base), whose
runCheck() spawns a real `tmux new-session` running `claude -p`. The AI-enabled
tests only assert the ai_checking state transition (then cancel/stop), so the
spawn produced stray real tmux sessions and claude processes on every run — the
reason `npm test` (full suite) was unsafe to run inside a managed session.
Mock node:child_process here (mirroring ai-idle-checker.test.ts), spreading the
real module so `exec` stays intact for transitively-imported modules
(tmux-manager calls promisify(exec) at load). With this, the full non-mobile
suite runs without spawning any real tmux/claude.
