- Remote omp command now renders through buildSpawnCommandFromRegistry
(the mode-agnostic engine local/docker spawns use) instead of the
buildOmpCommand() the CLI-registry refactor deleted.
- Session._pinOmpRespawnId()/_maybeCaptureOmpSessionId() now skip
host-local ~/.omp resolution entirely for a remote session and fall
back to --continue: that resolver only ever reads THIS host's
filesystem, which is meaningless (and could wrongly alias an
unrelated local conversation) for a conversation that lives on the
remote host.
- Remote-claude launch now honors an explicit resumeSessionId distinct
from sessionId (mirrors claudeDockerPaneCommand's shape), and
validates sessionId the same way that sibling does before
interpolating it into the remote shell command.
- Add the still-missing header-cwd half of the trailing-slash test,
and document respawn/reattach continuation + auto-reconnect-vs-
clean-exit in docs/remote-sessions.md.

#386 made Codex conversations resumable from Past Sessions, and
resumeMobileOverviewSession() correctly passes row.resumeId on to
resumeHistorySession(). The phone's own row projection never copied the
field off the unified-list item though, so row.resumeId was always
undefined there and a tapped Codex row started a FRESH session on a thread
that was already on disk. The desktop path worked; only the phone was blind.
The test fails without the projection line, and pins the other half too: a
claude row must not grow a resumeId, since the field is what distinguishes
"resume this conversation" from "start a new one".
Docs: CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants both still described the unified
list as merging Claude transcript files. It has been three stores since this
PR (Claude's ~/.claude/projects, omp's ~/.omp/agent/sessions, codex's
~/.codex/sessions), the alias field keeps its Claude-era name without being
Claude-only, and the scanner-only rule behind resumeId was written down
nowhere.

#385 made the composer glyph and the working status line per-CLI registry
data, which is right, but `workingLine` arrived as a config-supplied regex
validated with a bare `new RegExp()`. That skips `compileVersionRegex()`,
the helper the registry uses for exactly this: a `~/.codeman/clis.json`
override can set the field, the compiled pattern is run against every
accumulated PTY chunk and every pane capture, and a nested quantifier there
backtracks on the event loop for the whole server rather than one session.
Route it through the helper in both places, which are not redundant: the
schema refine rejects the entry at LOAD time so a bad pattern never reaches
a session, and `_workingLinePattern()` compiles through the same helper so
the runtime cannot hold a pattern the schema would have refused. The helper
returns null instead of throwing, so the Claude-pattern fallback stops being
a try/catch and becomes structural. Both shipped patterns compile unchanged,
and Claude's is behaviourally identical to CLAUDE_WORKING_LINE_PATTERN.
Also match the Codex footer case-insensitively on the E. It was
characterised against codex-cli 0.152.1, which prints a lowercase `esc`;
a version capitalising it would make the whole fix silently inert, since
the pane would simply never look like it was working.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, architecture-invariants and cli-registry.md all still
stated the Claude-mode-only rule this PR retires, and none of them named
the new capability or the regex guard.

The two merge-time edits the #383 review asked for. The comment above the
picker's fallback chain said Home is nested under Codeman Cases; on the
native default it is the other way round (~/codeman-cases sits inside ~).
And the "Filesystem path picker" paragraph in architecture-invariants still
said the picker falls back to /mnt/d, which #383 changed to: the session's
Current Folder, then the Codeman Cases root, then /mnt/d, then the first
root. No code behaviour changes.

Maintainer tooling in scripts/pr-bot/: a daemon (systemd user unit
codeman-pr-bot) that lists open PRs with gh, reviews each head commit once in
a Codeman claude session (`prbot-<n>`) running in a private `git clone
--shared`, and sends the verdict, ranked findings, checks and a recommendation
to Telegram with action buttons. Merge, close, post-comment and approve-CI
happen only from a Telegram command or button plus a confirmation tap; the
bot never writes to GitHub on its own. The Telegram token and chat id come
from the existing notifier bot's env file.
Verified live: three PRs reviewed end to end (383, 363, 368), reports
delivered with buttons, reviewer sessions on the pinned model. Findings
along the way, each fixed and documented: a linked worktree inherits the
main checkout's model pin (hence the shared clone), undici's 5-minute header
timeout cut off the first review, gh was missing from the service PATH, and
the periodic scan orphaned an in-flight review's record.
typecheck/lint/format now cover scripts/pr-bot; tests in
test/pr-bot-{report,state,commands}.test.ts; guide in docs/pr-bot.md.

Review follow-ups to #357. Each is a path that still touched, or still hid, a
container Codeman does not own.
**Export still mutated it.** The four fail-closed layers cover create/start/
stop/remove, but `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/export` reaches the container
twice through neither: a full export `docker commit`s it, and even a
workspace-only export `docker pause`s it first for snapshot consistency. Pause
freezes the owner's processes for as long as the tar takes, on a container we
promised not to touch. Full export is refused for an adopted case (it packages
someone else's container, with their logins, into a bundle Codeman hands out);
workspace-only keeps working and no longer pauses, accepting a live filesystem
the way `tar` does on any running host directory.
**A freshly linked OWNED case became unusable.** The run menu now probes the
container for its CLIs, and a failed probe hides every agent mode behind the
reason. For an adopted case that is right. For an owned one the container does
not exist until the first session launches it, so every newly linked Docker case
answered `container "codeman-case-x" not found (adoption never creates a
container — start it yourself first)` and offered nothing but Shell, for a
container the launch chain was about to create itself. A failed probe is
recorded only when the case is adopted; `CaseInfo.docker.owned` is on the wire
so the frontend can tell them apart. Verified in a browser: owned-with-no-
container offers all ten modes and no notice, adopted-but-stopped offers Shell
and says why.
**Multi-user gating.** Adoption is admin-only, unlike `docker-link` beside it.
Linking creates OUR container, whose sole bind mount `isWorkingDirAllowed` has
already confined to the caller's space; an adopted container's mounts are
whatever its owner gave it, so one mounting `/` hands the adopter a shell over
the whole host — exactly the workspace scoping multi-user mode exists to
enforce. Listing the engine's containers and browsing directories inside an
arbitrary one are machine-level reads and follow the docker-HOST policy for the
same reason. The preflight is deliberately not admin-only: the run menu fires it
for every docker case, so it admits a non-admin for a container already linked
to a case they can access, and nothing else.
Verified end to end against a real pre-existing root container (alpine + tmux,
no bind mounts): adopt, claude session inside it, workspace export, session
close and case unlink all left `StartedAt`, `RestartCount`, `Pid` and `Paused`
untouched; the pane ran the CONTAINER's claude, without
`--dangerously-skip-permissions`; a stopped container was refused at both
preflight and launch and was never started.

feat(docker): attach a case to an already-running container
Conflicts came from work that landed after the PR was opened, and each is
resolved onto the newer abstraction rather than by keeping the older code:
- `defaultDockerCommandForMode` is registry-driven since #347, so the PR's
`runsAsRoot` arm became `overlays.docker.rootCommand` (claude only). Claude
Code still refuses `--dangerously-skip-permissions` as root in 2.1.261 and the
refusal is visible only inside the container, so an adopted root container
otherwise just shows a dead pane. Which flag to drop is a per-CLI fact, and
`test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` forbids expressing it as a branch.
- The probe's mode list and its mode -> binary table both duplicated the
registry. They now read `enabledCliIds()` / `discovery.binaries[0]`, which is
also what fixes the merge's silent regression: the hand-written list predates
`omp`, and the run menu gates every docker case on this probe, so owned
containers would have lost that mode. `shell` needs no arm — it declares no
binary, so it is dropped from the lookup and reported available regardless.
- The per-mode `mode === 'claude' && !cliDir` chain in `tmux-manager.ts` is one
`missingCliMessage(mode)` gate since #347; the PR's docker exemption moved onto
it. Its test now pins the single gate instead of counting seven arms.
- The create arm keeps #349's swap-limit warning filter, which the adopted arm
never reaches; the run-mode list gains `omp` from #353.

Codeman can now be mounted under a sub-path behind a reverse proxy that
forwards the prefix unchanged (e.g. https://host/codeman/). Default is `/`
(root), which is byte-identical to the historical behavior.
Design — few choke points, mirrored ingress/egress:
- src/config/base-path.ts: pure single-source normalize/validate/join/strip.
- Server ingress: stripBasePath() inside Fastify rewriteUrl, so routes stay
declared prefix-agnostic; un-prefixed requests (hooks, health, docker bridge
hitting the raw port) pass through unchanged.
- Server egress: one onSend hook prepends the base to root-absolute Location
headers (covers all redirects).
- HTML: renderIndexHtml points <base href> at the mount and injects
window.__CODEMAN_BASE__ — ONLY when a base is set (inert at root).
- Frontend runtime URLs: CodemanBase.url() route builder in constants.js,
applied transparently by a fetch wrapper and explicitly at the
EventSource/WebSocket/window.open/<img|iframe|a>-src sites.
- sw.js derives its base from self.location; manifest uses relative start_url/scope.
- Web-tab proxy: proxyPrefixFor(cap, basePath) is the single base-aware root that
cascades to the injected <base>, HTML/attr rewrites, runtimeUrlShim, Set-Cookie
Path and Location; capabilityFromReferer strips the base off the browser Referer,
while the ingress parsers stay base-agnostic (rewriteUrl already stripped it).
--base-url rides the daemon relaunch (buildWebArgs) and the service unit
(resolveServicePlan). constants.js is guarded against a missing `window` for
isolated unit-test contexts.
Tests: test/base-path.test.ts (pure helpers), base-path coverage in
webview-proxy/render-index-html/daemon-control; CodemanBase stubbed in the
vm-isolated panels-ui test contexts. Docs: Remote-Access.md (sub-path section +
nginx example), security-architecture.md env table, CLAUDE.md pattern.

#373 restarts the Compose container by exiting the server, which is right for
the shipped deployment: `restart: unless-stopped` relaunches it. The updater
verified that policy through the Docker socket and, when it could not (no
socket mounted), failed open and exited anyway. Failing open is the correct
choice for the GATE, where refusing would block every install without a
socket, but not for the kill: a container the daemon does not restart goes
down for good, with no UI left to recover it from. That is exactly the case a
plain `docker run` of this image without `--restart` produces, and the image
sets CODEMAN_IN_CONTAINER=1 itself, so it takes the container path.
The decision now happens server-side, where both the socket and the Compose
env are reachable, and rides down to the script as `--restart-by-exit 0|1`.
It is 1 when the Compose file declared `CODEMAN_RESTART_BY_EXIT=1` (added there
and only there, since that file is what sets the restart policy; the image ENV
deliberately does not) or when the daemon confirmed an auto-restart policy.
Otherwise the build still lands, the status becomes
`completed-needs-manual-restart` with the `docker restart` hint, and the
server keeps running. The shipped deployment is unchanged in effect: with the
socket it was already confirmed, and without it the declaration now covers it.
Also: a root-run `Start-Codeman.sh` (common on Unraid) created the
fingerprint baseline's `.codeman` directory before the container's first start
and left it root-owned, which the unprivileged server could then never write
its own state into. It is chowned to PUID:PGID when running as root.
Verified with a real image build of the merged tree (classic builder; this
box's BuildKit lacks buildx): runs as uid 1000, tsc/esbuild and the toolchain
present, the four CLIs at their pins, docker/.env absent, and `docker inspect
$HOSTNAME` returns the restart policy through the mounted socket as that user.

The loader refuses a `clis.json` with any group/world permission bit, read bits
included, so a file created with a normal umask (0644) is ignored. That is a
defensible posture for a file that chooses the binaries Codeman spawns, but two
things around it made the override feature look dead: the warning said
"group/world-writable", which a 0644 file is not, and `LoadResult.warnings` was
returned to a caller nobody wired up, so nothing anywhere printed it. A user
following the docs got silence.
The message now names the rule and the command that satisfies it, the loader
logs every warning once on first load (the result is memoized, so once per
process), the module header stops claiming that nothing ever writes (the
quarantine rename of a malformed file is a write, on first use) and the
registry doc gains a short section on the override file with the 0600
requirement in it. Whether the check should relax to writable bits only is a
separate decision; this keeps the shipped behaviour and makes it visible.

Codeman running under docker/docker-compose.yaml lost the ability to update
itself from App Settings -> Updates. The image had no .git (excluded by
.dockerignore), so the install reported as "unknown"; there was no init system
for detectSupervisor() to find; the runtime stage had neither devDependencies
nor a build toolchain; and a pull into the baked /opt/codeman would have landed
in the container's writable layer and been discarded by the next `up`.
Restore it through configuration rather than a second updater, so the release
channel, auto-stash, status file and boot reconcile are all reused unchanged:
- The checkout Compose builds from is bind-mounted over /opt/codeman, so the
update's git checkout and rebuild land on the host and survive recreation.
- The restart is the server exiting; `restart: unless-stopped` relaunches the
container on the new dist/. This is the one supervisor whose updater does NOT
outlive the restart, which is safe only because the terminal "restarting"
marker is written first.
- node_modules and dist are named volumes over the bind mount, so
container-compiled native modules never enter the host checkout.
- The runtime image keeps devDependencies and gains python3/make/g++, since
`npm run build` is tsc + esbuild and node-pty has no Linux prebuild.
An in-place container update applies code only, because a restart reuses the
existing image and config. evaluateEnvironmentGate() reads the target release's
own files with `git show <tag>:<path>` and refuses when server.Dockerfile or
docker-compose.yaml changed, when .env.example gained keys the user's .env
lacks, or when the restart policy would not bring the container back. The
missing-key check matters most: Compose resolves an unset ${VAR} to the empty
string and starts anyway, so a new required setting would otherwise arrive as a
silently blank variable. Every unknown fails open, and the gate is re-evaluated
server-side on POST /api/system/update.
The four global agent CLIs are pinned, because an unpinned CLI bump is the one
environment change no diff-derived gate can see; pinning turns it into a
Dockerfile change the gate already detects.
Adds test/docker-compose-env-parity.test.ts as the merge-side guard (every
compose ${VAR} has an .env.example entry and the reverse) and
test/docker-self-update.test.ts for the pure gate decisions.

Review item 4 named THREE live tables duplicating registry data. Two are now
read from the entry (`defaultRemoteCommandForMode`, `defaultDockerCommandForMode`);
the third, `resolveDockerCredentialArtifacts`, is not — and it was left neither
wired nor annotated, which is the state that item explicitly rules out.
It is not wired because the shape cannot express the live table: `credStore` is
ONE store per CLI, and `CRED_STORES` needs two for gemini (`.gemini` for the
CLI's own auth plus `.config/gcloud` for Vertex), while deepseek's entry declares
none at all even though `.dsh` is seeded. Wiring it means making the field an
array and correcting those two entries — a change to credential seeding, which
is at once the worst thing in that file to get wrong and the least covered by
tests, since every docker IO path is no-op'd under vitest. It belongs in its own
change, measured against a real container.
So it is annotated instead, at the field, in the type's declared-for-later
header, in docs/cli-registry.md, and in the pinned DECLARED_FOR_LATER list — the
last of which means wiring it later makes a test fail rather than leaving a
stale comment behind.

Every run mode is now a `CliEntry` in `src/config/cli-registry/` — discovery
(search dirs, version + identity probes), the launch argv template, env
handling, the `capabilities` flags that replace per-CLI branching, and the
`overlays` that back the remote/docker pane commands. Code that used to ask
"which CLI is this?" reads the entry instead.
Behaviour is unchanged. `test/cli-registry-spawn-golden.test.ts` pins every
spawn command as a literal string, captured from the hand-written builders
before they were deleted, and `test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts` does the
same for all 20 remote and in-container pane commands.
Config can never contain shell text: an entry declares typed argv tokens,
literals are validated against a safe-word pattern at LOAD time (a bad literal
rejects the whole entry — a silently dropped `--no-approve` is not cosmetic),
and values resolve through patterns NAMED in code, so a user `clis.json` cannot
widen its own validation. `~/.codeman/clis.json` overrides any entry, read-only
in this release.
OMP is included as a registry entry rather than a tenth hand-written builder,
so `buildOmpCommand()`, the omp availability pre-flight, the omp arm of
`buildPathExport()` and the omp entries in the truecolor/NO_COLOR, alt-screen
and doctor ladders all drop out.
Guard rails:
- `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` fails the build if per-CLI-id
branching reappears outside `stock.ts`, in any of its four shapes (`===`,
`!==`, `switch`/`case`, `includes`) — an `===`-only version would miss the
negated forms, which is how 36 of them survived an earlier pass. Every
allowlisted branch carries its reason.
- `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` stay three INDEPENDENT capabilities;
deriving one from another shipped the `until=stop`-hangs-on-shell bug.
- `param` is two namespaces. `launch.params` keys, `configSetenv.fromParam` and
`privilegedParams[].param` all name a LAUNCH param; the legacy `<Mode>Config`
wire field is separate, bridged only by `legacyConfigAliases`. Getting
`privilegedParams[].param` wrong is SILENT — it is the multi-user bypass
clamp's only handle on a CLI's privilege switch, and a wrong name clamps
nothing with no error and no failing test — so `schema.ts` rejects an entry
naming a param it never declared.
- Registry data resolves AT CALL TIME (`sessionModeSchema()`,
`allowedEnvPrefixes()`, `dependencyRegistry()`, the resolvers' `searchDirs`
thunks). A module-level const freezes at first import, so a CLI enabled while
the server ran moved the run menu but not that surface.
- Six fields are annotated DECLARED-FOR-LATER and read by nothing
(`shortBadge`, `accent`, `capabilities.echo`/`wheelForward`/
`keyboardAccessory`/`maxFrameBytes`): all frontend behaviour, transcribed
rather than measured. A test pins the list so it cannot quietly grow.
Three user-visible changes, all deliberate and named:
- `probeDockerCliVersion()` derives the in-container binary from the registry
rather than assuming it equals the mode name (`antigravity` runs `agy`).
- The remote CLI version probe now covers grok and deepseek, which the
hardcoded map it replaces omitted while its own comment said the rule was
"every mode except shell".
- `codeman doctor`'s CLI rows are generated from the entries, so Claude's
install hint is the install command rather than a docs URL, five CLIs gain
hints they never had, and the row order follows the catalog.
Also hardened along the way: `sessionModeSchema()` is bounded at 24 chars
(matching the `cliId` pattern) before its failure message quotes the value
back, and `deepMerge` skips `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` when reading
the hand-editable `clis.json`.

Docker Compose deployment: Codeman runs in a container and spawns Docker cases
as SIBLING containers through the mounted host socket (Docker-outside-of-Docker).
Resolved the README conflict (master had grown to eight CLIs since the branch
was cut) and moved the Compose blurb out of the feature bullets into Quick
Start, next to the other ways of starting Codeman.
Three review findings from the PR discussion are fixed here rather than left
for a follow-up, because two of them are shipped-image problems:
- `.dockerignore` excluded `.env` only at the ROOT. A pattern is matched against
the whole context-relative path, so `docker/.env` — which the deployment's own
README tells the user to fill with CODEMAN_PASSWORD and provider API keys —
was picked up by `COPY . .` and baked into the image at
/opt/codeman/docker/.env. Verified in both directions against a real build
context: with a canary secret in docker/.env, the unfixed ignore file lets
/ctx/docker/.env through, and `**/.env` (plus `**/.env.*` and a negation for
the checked-in .env.example) leaves only the example behind.
- `CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` moved the server's CASES_DIR but not the CLI's, which
still hardcoded ~/codeman-cases, so `codeman skill install --case <name>`
reported "Case not found" on exactly the deployment the override exists for.
Both now resolve through config/cases-dir.ts. state-store.ts keeps its own
literal on purpose: that one migrates the historical ~/claudeman-cases
directory by name and is about the old default, not the active location.
- CLAUDE.md gained the Compose paragraph (the sibling-container inversion, the
three env vars, the .dockerignore and root-owned-bind traps) and .dockerignore
joins the documented list of files that genuinely belong in the repo root.
The PR's `mode === 'claude'` guard on dockerResumeId is an unrelated master bug
fix riding along: appendResumeFlag() maps a resume id onto codex/gemini/pi/grok/
deepseek/omp/antigravity and RESUME_ID_SAFE accepts a UUID, so a Docker case's
lastClaudeSessionId was handed to every non-claude CLI.
Full gate green in a merge worktree: 6360 tests, lint, format, frontend syntax,
public assets, lockfile.
Which conversation a pane is on was re-derived by correlating
~/.claude/history.jsonl against Session.lastSubmitAt — and lastSubmitAt is
bumped only by input that flows through Codeman's own write path
(Session.write / writeViaMux). A user who attaches to the pane's tmux session
directly never set it, so resolveActiveClaudeSessionIdFromHistory() returned at
its first line for that pane's whole life and the response viewer stayed pinned
to the launch conversation, showing a pre-/clear transcript indefinitely.
A UserPromptSubmit hook reports the live conversation id from inside the CLI
process, delivered under the pane's own $CODEMAN_SESSION_ID. That binding is a
fact rather than a correlation: it never consults workingDir, so it cannot be
claimed by a sibling pane on the same folder, a closed tab, or a bare `claude`
in the user's terminal. A pane holding such an id skips the correlation
entirely, so the number of prompts eligible for cwd-based guessing goes DOWN,
never up — the naive alternative (relax the guard, or synthesize an anchor from
PTY activity) is the reverted bug the resolver's own comment describes.
The hook also stamps lastSubmitAt, so it finally means "a prompt was submitted"
rather than "typed into Codeman's web terminal". Conversations vouched for
first-hand — and only those — extend a persisted claudeSessionChain, whose tail
re-pins the conversation when a surviving tmux session is re-attached after a
restart. ⚠️ start() resets the id at THREE points and the last one runs
unconditionally after the mux branch, so the tail is applied there too; patching
only the mux branch looks right and silently does nothing.
⚠️ The hook's stdout is discarded with curl's own -o /dev/null. Claude Code
injects a UserPromptSubmit hook's stdout into the model's context ("Exit code 0
- stdout shown to Claude"), and a trailing >/dev/null does NOT work: curlCmd
already ends `... 2>/dev/null || true`, and in `pipeline || true >/dev/null` the
shell binds the redirection to `true`, which never runs on the success path. The
discard is opt-in so the five SSE-fed events keep byte-identical command text
and no workspace's settings file is rewritten for them. The staleness marker is
quote-free for the matching reason: hooksJson is JSON.stringify'd, so a quoted
needle never matches and the gate would rewrite every workspace on every spawn.
Existing workspaces heal on their next Claude spawn through the staleness sweep.
The Claude reader concatenated every assistant row between two human prompts
into one card, fusing up to 74 distinct model messages into a single card, and
it never read the attachment rows that hold a prompt typed while the agent was
working. Measured over 57 real transcripts on 2026-09-01, the viewer shows
1,806 messages instead of 356 and 353 user cards instead of 178, with the
assistant text sequence unchanged row for row and the response without
?context=full byte-identical on all 57 files.
One assistant row IS one whole model message: in that corpus no assistant row
carries more than one content block and no message id carries more than one
text block, so there was nothing to reassemble. Each row becomes its own
message carrying an additive {kind, label, turn}, and the frontend renders a
same-role run inside one turn as badge-less continuation segments — which is
what keeps a p90 of 11 messages per turn from reading as card spam. A numeric
turn gates that rendering, so Codex, the external-CLI pane parser and an older
server keep one badge per card.
A prompt typed while Claude is working is recorded ONLY as an
attachment/queued_command row. Taking it when origin.kind is 'human' and
commandMode is 'prompt' recovers 162 user cards from 163 such rows — one is a
verbatim repeat inside an unanswered user run and is collapsed by the existing
dedup guard — and restores the turn boundary whose absence let the assistant
runs fuse. The CLI's own queue entries are cleanly separable: of 322
queued_command rows, 159 are commandMode 'task-notification' and not one of
them carries an origin key.
This narrows #169 rather than reverting it: sidechain exclusion, the
restored-<uuid8> rebind, replayed-snapshot dedup and synthetic-row filtering
are all unchanged and still asserted.
Every claude session in a directory claude had not seen before died about six
seconds after it started (`Pane is dead (status 1)`), before the agent drew a
composer. Reproduced on a fresh case and measured.
Claude Code 2.1.252 rewrote the dialog. It used to be
❯ 1. Yes, I trust this folder
2. No, exit
and is now unnumbered, reversed, and highlights the option that quits:
❯ No, exit
Yes, I trust this folder
Detection still worked (the confirm affordance carries the match once the
numbered option text is gone), so the failure was entirely in the answer: the
auto-accept pressed Enter on the highlighted default, which is now exit.
trustDialogNextKey() reads the ❯ marker off the rendered pane and returns ONE
keystroke at a time: an arrow while the cursor is on the wrong option, Enter
only once the screen shows it on the trust option, and null for a frame that
does not say. Both layouts are handled, and which way the trust option lies is
read from the frame rather than assumed, so a further reordering costs a
repaint instead of a session. The last marked option wins, because the
direct-PTY fallback reads an append-only buffer where an older frame must not
out-vote the freshest one.
Two things only a live pane showed:
- The scan ran solely from the PTY onData handler. The arrow that moves the
cursor is the last output the pane produces, so the first fix parked every
session with the cursor sitting on the right option and no Enter ever sent.
It now schedules its own follow-up read (_trustDialogTimer, cleared in
_clearAllTimers()), offset past the scan throttle so the chain cannot break
on a boundary.
- The keystroke cap goes 3 -> 6, since answering is no longer one press.
The bundled codeman skill had the same blind \r as its bounded fallback, so
preamble 1.21.0 replaces it with _trust_key/_accept_trust: read
terminal?full=1, steer onto the trust option, re-read, then confirm. Those
keystrokes go out under their own clientId, because input sequence numbers are
monotonic per client and spending prompt numbers on dialog keys would make the
next send-and-wait look like a stale duplicate and vanish while reporting
success. The readiness recipes in docs/extending-codeman.md,
docs/api-reference.md and the skill's own reference carry the corrected answer,
plus a symptom-table entry for a worker whose pane is dead seconds after spawn.
Verified live on an isolated instance (own data dir and tmux socket): fresh
case -> arrow at 5 s -> Enter at 7 s -> composer, with hasTrustDialogAccepted
recorded. With the server-side auto-accept disabled in a throwaway copy, the
skill's fallback cleared a genuinely parked dialog in 1.1 s and spawn_worker
took a brand-new case to a live composer in 7.2 s; spawn_workers + sendwait +
last_text then ran end to end.
Follow-up to #350, which fixed the actual blocker (issue #352): `dsh plugin` is
a thin forwarder that `spawnSync`s a literal `pnpm` with no npm fallback, so an
image without pnpm dies at exit 127 and takes the whole build with it.
That PR also pinned an allowlist of the two packages whose lifecycle scripts
pnpm blocked at the time. Replace it with a policy that cannot go stale: pnpm,
unlike npm, refuses dependency build scripts by default and FAILS the install
over it (`ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS`, exit 1, measured on pnpm 11.24), and the
names to allow move between rebuilds because `@deepseek-harness-tui/dsh-tui` is
resolved by dist-tag, not pinned: 0.9.3 pulled `@google/genai` (whose script is
a literal `preinstall: no-op`), 0.10.0-beta.x does not. An allowlist of two
names would have let the next tree break the build the same way. Allowing them
wholesale is also the exposure this image already accepts three layers up,
where `npm install -g` runs the install scripts of every transitive dep of the
five CLIs above with no gate at all.
Also correct a comment in the `/api/deepseek/install-profile` route that
asserted the opposite of what #352 proved ("dsh bundles its own package
manager, so no system pnpm is required"). The route's behavior is already
right: dsh's own "pnpm not found on PATH" stderr reaches the caller as the
OPERATION_FAILED detail, so the UI's "add a terminal profile" button names the
fix. Documented the prerequisite in docs/deepseek-integration.md, and taught
the docker-cases image smoke test about `dsh`/`omp` plus the profile check that
`dsh --version` does NOT cover.
Small cleanup items from upstream review (Ark0N/Codeman#353):
- OMP_SEARCH_DIRS now leads with ~/.local/bin, matching omp.sh's real
installer target (~/.omp/bin was an earlier unverified guess, confirmed
wrong against a real --no-cache Docker build).
- docs/omp-integration.md: fixed the dead GitHub URL (can1357/omp ->
can1357/oh-my-pi), corrected the CLI count (ninth backend, tenth
SessionMode incl. shell -- not eighth), matched the install-path guidance
to the resolver fix, updated the version example to the actually-tested
18.0.8, and added a Docker-section caveat: --resume pinning does not
currently reach an in-container omp process, since Docker panes never see
ompConfig.
- docs/architecture-invariants.md: fixed a heading missing ", OMP" (CLAUDE.md
already linked to the -omp anchor, so the link was dead) and added an OMP
specifics paragraph -- the one external CLI missing an entry in this doc.
- .changeset/omp-backend.md: corrected the sibling-CLI list (was missing Pi,
Grok, and DeepSeek Harness) and the backend count.
- Removed a stray orphaned comment fragment in the quick-start docker branch
and split two CSS lines that had two declarations jammed onto one line.
The docs claimed omp "has no documented vendor-key namespace of its own"
and "the multi-user clamp has nothing to gate" for omp — both false. Per
omp's own docs/environment-variables.md, it reads ~40 provider keys from
env (pi's known 34-key problem in the same shape), and its own knobs are
mostly PI_* (already globally allowlisted): PI_CONFIG_DIR,
PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR, PI_CODING_AGENT_SESSION_DIR, PI_SUBPROCESS_CMD,
PI_SHELL_PREFIX. The first three also move the ~/.omp tree
omp-session-resolver.ts/omp-transcript.ts hardcode, silently degrading
pinning/history — a known gap shared with pi, documented but not fixed
here.
The OMP_* prefix this PR adds brings in OMP_AUTH_BROKER_URL/
OMP_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN, where omp resolves credentials from — the same
shape DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL is already dropped for in
clampEnvOverridesForOwner(). Add both to OWNER_CLAMPED_ENV_KEYS so a
non-granted owner in multi-user mode can't redirect them, and correct the
false claims in CLAUDE.md, docs/omp-integration.md, and the stale
resolveOmpHome() comment. Also documents omp's default
tools.approvalMode: yolo, which was previously unstated.
OMP was the one external CLI mode with no dedicated user-guide doc, unlike
opencode/pi/grok/deepseek which each have one. Covers install, auth (omp
owns its own entirely - no Codeman-side login flow or bypass switch),
what Codeman wires up (OmpConfig), the exact-id pinning mechanism and the
directory-mangling bug behind it, kill-survival via transcript scanning,
terminal behavior, Docker/remote-SSH cases, and known gaps (no idle hook,
mid-turn kill data loss, unverified symlinked-$HOME behavior).
Cross-referenced from README.md's Multi-CLI doc list and docs/docker-cases.md's
credential-seeding summary (which now also documents OMP's sessions/-is-shared
exception to the seed-everything pattern the other CLIs use).

Fifteen review findings on the dsh mode, the serious ones first:
- Multi-user: DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL joins the owner-clamped env keys.
_configureDeepSeek() forwards the SERVER's own DEEPSEEK_API_KEY into
every dsh pane and applyEnvOverrides() lands after it, so a non-granted
owner who could redirect the base URL would have the operator's key sent
as a bearer credential to a host of their choosing.
- Wait registry: until=stop/blocked is refused on docker and remote-SSH
dsh sessions (new deepSeekBridgeUnreachable fact in sessionHookOptions).
The HERDR triple is set via LOCAL tmux setenv, which crosses neither
docker exec nor ssh, so such a session can never post a hook event and
the wait burned its whole timeout on every turn.
- Approvals: a dsh item is an ALERT, not an answerable card. The answer
route refuses (the '1'/Esc keystrokes are Claude-dialog-shaped and the
option parser cannot read a third-party TUI's frames, so an answer was a
blind keystroke into a foreign composer), and the push notification
carries no Approve/Deny actions for dsh sessions.
- Status shim (v3): --seq is forwarded and the server drops stale retried
reports inside a 60s window (the TUI retries with backoff, so a retried
'working' could land after 'blocked' and resolve an approval whose
dialog was still on screen); 4xx responses exit 0 instead of retrying,
so one misconfigured session cannot feed the auth rate-limit bucket
until the hook endpoint 429s for the whole instance.
- Web-UI server: concurrent starts are serialized through a lock (two
racing POSTs used to pick the same port and orphan the winner), and the
readiness poll / timeout paths only clear or stop the singleton while it
is still theirs. First click actually opens the tab now
(refreshWebviews, not the nonexistent loadWebviews). DELETE
/api/deepseek/web requires the privileged grant in multi-user mode.
- Cron: deepseek jobs run the same two-part launch gate as the HTTP
create paths (impl moved into the resolver so all three share it) and no
longer stamp a Claude default model on the session.
- Parity sweeps: quick-start's docker branch rejects deepSeekConfig like
the remote branch; the Ralph auto-enable list gained deepseek;
HookEventType gained agent_working; the phone overview run menu filters
managed webview records like the desktop menu.
- install.sh: the dsh identity probe closes stdin (under curl|bash a
child that reads stdin eats the rest of the script), bounds the exec
with timeout where available, and is memoized to one scan per install.
- Welcome screen: .welcome-btn-deepseek styled in the #4d6bfe brand
identity (it rendered as an unstyled UA-grey button); stale markup
comment about the web shortcut rewritten; clamp docs updated.

Four review findings on the worker-transcript feature:
- Docker and remote-SSH dsh sessions now keep the pane segmenter: their
transcripts live in the container's / remote host's own ~/.dsh, which
the local reader can never see, so the transcript path returned
'nothing said yet' forever and an agent polling such a worker starved
on an answer that existed. Gated on !session.docker && !session.remote
(statically pinned) and documented in the integration guide.
- last-response reads are memoized on (path, mtime, size, blocks): the
skill's last_text polls once per second, and each poll decompressed and
reparsed the whole file on the event loop even when nothing had been
appended. An unchanged poll now costs one stat.
- The pairing ladder's comment claimed /new is served by step 2; in truth
the boot-window transcript wins for as long as it exists (deliberately:
preferring newest-eligible would hand a worker its busier sibling's
reply). The comment now states the real tradeoff instead of the
aspirational one. Same for decodeZstdFrames' 'skipped' wording — a
corrupt frame truncates the decode there, which is the safe behavior.
- stripReasoningPrefix no longer runs on user prompt text, so a prompt
containing a literal </think> renders whole in blocks view.

The agent skill could spawn a worker in any mode, but it could only
DRIVE a claude one: every other CLI has neither a real end-of-turn
signal nor an answer to read, so the recipes route them through output
markers.
dsh has both halves now -- its harness reports idle/working/blocked to
Codeman, and the previous commit reads its transcript -- so it joins
claude as a mode the four verbs work on unchanged. `spawn_workers alpha
beta:deepseek` is a mixed fleet in one call, and `sendwait` / `last_text`
/ `delete_session` need no per-mode variant.
Preamble 1.20.0 (SKILL.md's §0 heredoc regenerated from it):
- `spawn_worker` grows a deepseek branch that gates on the harness
composer. ⚠️ Readiness there is NOT the stop signal: the harness
reports idle at BOOT ~300 ms before its composer paints (measured
2.26 s vs 2.56 s after spawn), so a send-and-wait fired straight after
quick-start resolves on the boot edge, reports a turn that never ran,
and strands the prompt in a pane not yet taking input. Waiting for the
composer also spends that edge, since signals are edge-triggered.
- `spawn_workers` takes `name[:mode]`, so a mixed fleet stays one
concurrent call. Case names still have to be unique -- the mode never
disambiguates two workers that would share a directory.
- `sendwait` asks for `wait:"stop,exit"` instead of the `wait:true`
default set. That set also carries `idle`, which for an external CLI is
inferred from output stabilization: on a dsh worker whose TUI repaints
rarely, the re-wait resolved in 0 ms with `signal:"idle"` on a turn
with three minutes left to run. It also makes a wrong mode loud -- the
modes that cannot deliver `stop` answer 400 before writing anything,
instead of resolving on a flap.
- The self-heal resend carries `delivered:true` forward. The resend is a
tagged duplicate, so the server truthfully reports `delivered:false`
about a write it skipped, and §1's cleanup then read a completed turn
as an undelivered one and kept a finished worker forever.
- dsh workers spawn with the permission posture the Run button sends,
because the harness default still asks and a worker parked on an
approval row cannot finish a fan-out. The multi-user clamp still
applies.
Docs: a worked dsh flow in recipes.md, readiness and the signal rules in
verbs.md, and the corrections this makes necessary -- `stop`/`blocked`
are no longer claude-only, and `last-response` is no longer permanently
empty for deepseek. The integration guide gains a section on reading a
session back and driving one as a worker; its web-UI section was also
stale (that server moved out of a shell session).
The static guard that keeps those lists from naming some external CLIs but
not others is extended rather than exempted: it now knows the three real
classes inside that family (no transcript, no hook signals, and the
positive twin -- the modes whose answers can be read), with the hook class
derived from `hooksAvailableForMode()` so the predicate and the prose
cannot drift apart. Any other partial list still fails, and a new backend
belongs to none of the classes until someone says so.
Clicking "DeepSeek web UI..." opened two tabs: the web tab asked for, and a
shell tab running the server next to it. The shell was deliberate - the server
lived in an ordinary session so it was visible, scrollable, killable and died
with its tab, and nothing new had to supervise a long-lived HTTP server. That
reasoning was sound and the result was still wrong in use: opening a dashboard
should open one tab, and after the first launch the terminal is pure noise.
The server moves to a background child process owned by a new
`src/deepseek-web-server.ts`, behind `POST /api/deepseek/web`. What the session
gave away for free is now explicit, which is most of the module:
- Exactly one server. A second click reuses the running one instead of racing
it for a port; the session flow could not do this at all, because two clicks
were simply two sessions.
- Restarted when the requested authority changes. `--trusted-host` fences dsh's
own /api against the browser authority, and a Codeman reachable at both
loopback and a tailnet name has two. Reusing a server fenced for the other
origin renders a page whose every call 403s, which reads as a broken
dashboard rather than a misconfigured one, so a mismatch restarts instead.
- Killed on shutdown. The child is detached so its whole plugin tree can be
signalled at once, which also means it would outlive Codeman and hold its
port against the next start - the exact EADDRINUSE this feature already got
wrong once.
- Boot output captured and returned. With no shell tab there is nowhere else
for a stack trace to land, so a failed spawn reports its own tail.
The endpoint is fenced at the same bar as the profile installer and for the
same reason: booting a dsh profile executes the plugin code in it, so this is a
privileged action even though it reads as "open a page". `authority` comes from
the client (`location.host`) because only the browser knows which origin is in
play, and it is regex-confined at the schema boundary - defence in depth behind
the argv-array spawn, admitting host:port in the shapes a browser authority can
take and nothing readable as a second argument.
`GET /api/deepseek/web-port` is gone; port selection moved into the supervisor,
which is the thing that knows whether a server is already running. The two
client-side probe helpers went with it, since the server now owns the wait.
Verified over the tailnet authority end to end: no session is created (session
count unchanged, one tab), the server runs on 3081 beside the user's own dsh
web on 3080, status reports the tailnet authority, and the proxied dashboard
renders with zero 4xx. Full gate green (6148 passed, +6).
The `Run > DeepSeek web UI...` shortcut failed three ways at once against a real
install, and the three are independent.
1. It hardcoded `--port 3080`. That is dsh web's OWN default, which makes it
precisely the port a DeepSeek user is most likely to be serving on already,
so the launch died with EADDRINUSE against the user's own server. The port
now comes from `GET /api/deepseek/web-port`, which walks 3080..3119 for a
free loopback port by BINDING it (a connect probe cannot tell "free" from
"listening but not answering yet").
2. It opened the tab unconditionally. The crashed server left a saved dashboard
pointing at nothing, with the failure only visible in a shell tab nobody had
a reason to look at. The launch now polls the existing webview probe until
the URL answers, and on timeout reports the error naming the shell tab
instead of persisting a dead dashboard.
3. The saved tab was untrusted, so the frame was sandboxed without
`allow-same-origin` and the dashboard was broken twice over: the dsh
client-runtime reads `localStorage` while loading its plugins and died there
("the document is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag"), and an
opaque-origin frame sends `Origin: null`, so dsh's own trust fence 403'd
every `/api` call no matter which authority `--trusted-host` named. Passing
`location.host` only means anything once the frame actually carries that
origin, so `--trusted-host` had never once done its job. The managed tab is
now created `trusted: true`.
That trade is real and deliberate: a trusted proxied frame is same-origin
with Codeman and can reach Codeman's API. It is defensible only because this
dashboard is an agent harness Codeman just started itself, on loopback, which
can already run code as the user. It is not a precedent for trusting
third-party dashboards, which is why it is set at this one call site rather
than defaulted.
Separately, the shortcut listed its own dashboard twice: once as the menu entry
that starts it and once as the row that entry had written on the previous click.
Webviews now carry an optional `managed` marker, managed rows are filtered out
of the saved-dashboard list, and a relaunch repoints the existing row rather
than stacking one dead dashboard per restart (which the per-launch port would
otherwise guarantee). `managed` is declared in the schema because a plain
`z.object` strips undeclared keys, so an undeclared marker would never survive
the round trip.
`DEEPSEEK_WEB_PORT` is gone from constants.js; its doc comment asserted that a
hand-started `dsh web` and the shortcut "land on the same place and share one
saved tab", which is the bug stated as a feature.
Verified on a real install with the user's own `dsh web` holding 3080: the
shortcut takes 3081, the server answers, exactly one DeepSeek entry shows in the
run menu, and the proxied dashboard renders its workspaces and completes its own
API calls (the previously-403'd `api/settings.describe` now succeeds). Full gate
green (6142 passed), typecheck/lint/format/public-assets clean.
The three smaller review nits, plus the first real test coverage for the status
shim (it had none: it is emitted as a STRING, so tsc never sees it).
1. The shim was written with a plain writeFileSync. The TUI can be exec'ing that
exact path while an upgraded Codeman refreshes it, and a reader catching a
half-written file gets a syntax error, exits non-zero, and is retried four
times per state change for a file that will never parse. Now temp + rename
(atomic within the directory), with the temp chmod'ed before the rename since
writeFileSync's mode only applies on create, and removed if the write throws.
SHIM_VERSION bumped to 2, because SHIM_SOURCE changed and an existing v1 shim
would otherwise keep matching the embedded marker and never be refreshed.
2. The pane-id comment claimed the ambient env "cannot be spoofed by an argument
the agent itself could influence". The agent runs IN that pane and can invoke
the shim with CODEMAN_SESSION_ID unset and any argv it likes. It buys nothing
it did not already have (the hook-secret file is readable from the same pane,
so it can POST /api/hook-event directly), but the comment read like a security
boundary. Rewritten to say what the preference actually buys: correct
attribution when a TUI mangles or re-uses the pane argument. Accidents, not
adversaries.
3. classifyProfile() folded the directory name into the same haystack as the
bundles, but only the TUI arm could match a bare name, so a stock profile
whose package.json has no dsh.profile.bundles (hand-edited, older layout,
mid-install) classified as `unknown` -> launchable -> eligible as the DEFAULT
pick, which is exactly the pane-dies-on-arrival failure the two-part
availability gate exists to prevent. The stock names are now a LAST-resort
fallback consulted after the bundle patterns, so real bundle evidence still
wins over a name the user chose. The loose `tui` arm gained word boundaries:
it decides which profile boots by default, and matching the middle of
`intuition` is not a rule anyone could predict.
New test/deepseek-status-shim.test.ts runs the generated script the way the
harness does -- real node process, real argv, real env, real listener -- and
covers the exit-code contract that makes the retry behaviour safe: mapped states
post and exit 0, an unknown verb or unmapped state exits 0 WITHOUT posting (a
non-zero there would be four HTTP requests per state change forever), a rejecting
server or an unreachable one exits non-zero so the caller retries, the hook secret
is read at execution time, and `node --check` parses the file (a template-literal
typo in SHIM_SOURCE is invisible to tsc).
Trap worth recording, hit while writing it: the tests must spawn the shim
ASYNCHRONOUSLY. The listener lives in the test process, so spawnSync blocks the
event loop that has to accept the connection, the shim waits out its own 1500ms
socket timeout and exits 1, and it reads exactly like a broken shim (measured:
Socket._onTimeout in its --trace-exit output, server logging nothing).
Verified: full gate green (6142 passed, +10), typecheck/lint/format clean.
Three review findings on the DeepSeek Harness mode, plus one the third exposed.
1. The multi-user clamp was bypassable by a sibling field on the same request.
clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() clamps deepSeekConfig.permissionMode, but
DSH_* is an allowlisted envOverrides prefix and applyEnvOverrides() runs AFTER
_configureDeepSeek(), so a non-granted owner sending
envOverrides.DSH_PERMISSION_MODE landed last and won. Measured on an isolated
instance: a session created with permissionMode "read-only" and that override
ran with DSH_PERMISSION_MODE=danger-full-access in its pane.
Every other CLI's bypass is a command-line flag reachable only through the
per-CLI config, which is why the config clamp alone is the whole gate for
them. clampEnvOverridesForOwner() adds the env-var half: for a non-granted
owner it DROPS DSH_PERMISSION_MODE and DSH_HOME (dropping falls through to
what _configureDeepSeek() exports, i.e. the clamped value). DSH_HOME is on
that list because it aims the launcher at a profile tree whose plugin code
runs at boot, before any approval row can apply. Verified end to end in real
multi-user mode: a non-granted user sending both now gets workspace-write and
no DSH_HOME, while an unrelated DSH_TELEMETRY_MODE passes through untouched.
2. POST /api/deepseek/install-profile could hang forever. spawn's own `timeout`
signals only the direct child, and a plugin install fans out into
package-manager children that keep the inherited stdio pipes open, so `close`
never fires and the held-open request leaks with no route-level deadline.
Reproduced: with a 1.5s built-in timeout the promise was still unsettled after
6s and both fan-out children were alive. Now detached: true plus negative-pid
SIGTERM/SIGKILL, the same escalation runGit() uses for the same reason, with a
last-resort reap for a grandchild that escaped the group. Same probe after the
change: close fires, direct child and both grandchildren dead.
3. hooksAvailableForMode() promised more than a dsh session can deliver.
deepSeekConfig.statusReporting: false disarms the HERDR_* export, and that
triple is the only reason a dsh session posts hook events, so `until=stop` was
accepted and then blocked for the caller's whole timeout: the exact
infinite-wait-dressed-as-a-timeout the predicate exists to prevent. It now
takes HookCapabilityOptions and every call site passes sessionHookOptions(),
with the deepseek arm reading `!== false` so a forgotten one degrades to the
old behaviour. The refusal names the setting rather than saying "no Claude
Code hooks", which would send the caller hunting a bug that is really a
setting they chose. Profile conformance stays unknowable at request time and
is documented as such. The stale "True for `claude` and nothing else" docblock
is corrected.
4. Exposed by (3): hooksAvailableForMode() was doing double duty as "is this a
claude session". Read My Mind (POST /api/sessions/:id/readmymind) and intent
capture read Claude's own transcript, and adding deepseek silently widened
both to a mode that has none. They compare mode === 'claude' directly now, and
a static check pins them there.
Verified: full CI gate green (6132 passed), typecheck/lint/format clean, and the
wait-signal gating exercised against a live server with a real dsh 0.1.1-rc.2 --
bridge off plus explicit until=stop is a 400 naming the setting, bridge off with
no `until` still 200s on idle/exit, bridge on accepts stop.
Adds `mode: 'deepseek'` alongside claude/shell/opencode/codex/gemini/
antigravity/pi/grok, plus a shortcut that opens the harness's own browser UI
as a Codeman web tab.
DeepSeek is wired unlike its siblings in three ways, each of which is the
reason for a design decision rather than an accident:
1. The agent is a PROFILE, not the binary. `dsh` is a launcher over
$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>, and DeepSeek ships only `web`, `headless` and
`base` -- the interactive terminal front door is always a third-party
plugin. So availability is two questions: `isDeepSeekAvailable()` (binary)
and `isDeepSeekRunnable()` (binary AND a pane-capable profile). The Run
button gates on the latter, because reporting only the binary would spawn a
pane that dies on arrival. When the binary is present but no profile is,
the run menu offers to install one (POST /api/deepseek/install-profile).
2. The permission switch is an env var, not a flag. The harness has no
command-line permission option; its sandbox/approval rows read
DSH_PERMISSION_MODE (read-only / workspace-write / danger-full-access).
Exported via `tmux setenv`, never on the spawn line. Absent = the harness's
own workspace-write, which still asks, so the multi-user clamp is the
only-if-sent branch and clamps to workspace-write, never read-only.
3. It is the only non-claude mode that passes hooksAvailableForMode(), and it
earned that. The terminal front door reports idle/working/blocked to a
supervising process over a generic env-gated contract; a generated shim
(deepseek-status-shim.ts) makes Codeman that supervisor and forwards each
report to /api/hook-event as stop / agent_working / permission_prompt. So a
dsh session gets definitive respawn triggers, real wait-endpoint signals and
real Approvals Inbox items instead of output-stabilization guesswork.
`agent_working` is new (157th SSE constant) and joins
APPROVAL_RESOLVING_EVENTS so a dialog answered in the terminal clears its
alert at once.
The resolver needs the strictest identity probe of the family: `dsh` is not
merely a squattable npm name, Debian ships an unrelated `dsh` (dancer's shell),
so `dsh --help` must print the harness's own banner before a candidate is
handed a spawn line.
Model is deliberately not a session field -- it is a composition entry in the
profile's config tree. Env allowlist gains DSH_* and DEEPSEEK_* only; provider
keys named by a settings-file `apiKeyEnv` stay out, which is pi's
34-provider-key problem in a new shape.
Verified live against dsh 0.1.1-rc.2 and @deepseek-harness-tui/dsh-tui: the
status endpoint's two-part answer, the no-profile refusal, the profile
bootstrap, a real session whose pane runs `dsh --profile dsh-tui` with the
permission mode injected via setenv, and the full status bridge -- a
send-and-wait returned signal "stop" from a real turn, and blocked/working
created and cleared an Approvals Inbox item.

The agent skill's endpoints.md is what other agents read as ground truth, and
three of its facts went stale when grok landed:
- `/api/v1/grok/status` was added to the probe list, but the sentence after it
still said only Pi's response carries `.data.version`. Grok's carries it for
the same reason (a squatted binary name), and an agent that trusts the old
wording has no way to tell a misresolved grok from an absent one.
- the `active-tools` bullet listed grok among the modes it stays empty for, then
claimed in the same breath that `isExternalCliMode` "lists only those five".
- its three source line refs had all drifted: `isExternalCliMode` is now
session.ts:174-183 (it was already wrong before this branch), the external-CLI
early return is session.ts:2261, and TEXT_COMMAND_PATTERN is
bash-tool-parser.ts:89.
CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants.md counted modes in their Docker-cases and
Web-tabs paragraphs ("any of the five CLI backends", "never a sixth
SessionMode"). Both numbers were already stale before grok (antigravity and pi
had made it seven) and grok is now in the agent image, so the counts are gone
rather than incremented: the invariant those sentences carry is that Docker and
web tabs are not modes at all, which no number has ever helped state. The two
plan docs keep their original wording, being historical design records.
SessionMode gains 'grok', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi: its own PTY, tmux
session, charcoal tab identity ('gk' badge), welcome button, run-mode
entry, cron agentType, Docker and remote-SSH command defaults, and
clone-repo Brain option. Flag surface verified live against grok 1.0.5.
Grok mixes two existing shapes and the wiring follows from that:
- Codex-shaped on permissions: the bypass switch is GrokConfig.alwaysApprove
(--always-approve, grok's bypassPermissions mode; config-level deny rules
still apply on top). The Run button sends it true, like runAntigravity(),
and clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() puts grok in the only-if-sent branch:
a bare grok spawn is grok's own ask-mode default, which is already safe,
so only a sent config needs the flag forced off. Cron needs nothing for
the same reason.
- OpenCode-shaped on rendering: grok is a fullscreen alternate-screen TUI
with mouse support, so it stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode() and lands
on the narrow tmux-attach strip and the 'buffer' local-echo fallthrough
(unmeasured against an authenticated composer; documented fallback is the
'off' branch).
- Pi-shaped on resolution: 'grok' has npm squatters (@vibe-kit/grok-cli
also installs a grok bin), so grok-cli-resolver.ts version-probes every
candidate (grok --version, killSignal SIGKILL, VITEST-gated) and
GET /api/grok/status surfaces path AND version; GROK_VERSION_REGEX is
shared with the dependency registry so doctor and run mode cannot drift.
Env allowlist gains GROK_* plus the XAI_* vendor namespace (XAI_API_KEY is
grok's documented headless auth var), the same narrow-vendor reasoning as
GOOGLE_* for gemini. Resume is id-regexed on purpose: grok's own --resume
also matches session titles, which are arbitrary user strings that must
never reach the bash -c spawn line.
Docker: grok is not on npm, so the agent image installs it in its own step
(xAI's installer has no --dir override; the binary is copied to
/usr/local/bin and root's ~/.grok dropped in the same layer), and
credentials are seeded per-file (auth.json, config.toml, pager.toml; the
dir also holds sessions/, memory/ and the ~160MB binary). Remote SSH routes
through the login-shell wrapper like the other agent CLIs.
Verified end to end on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE with grok 1.0.5
installed: /api/grok/status resolves and reports the probed version,
quick-start spawns a pane whose command line ends in 'grok
--always-approve', the real TUI renders (OAuth device screen on an
unauthenticated box), and grokConfig round-trips through state.json.
Docs: docs/grok-integration.md (user guide) + docs/grok-integration-plan.md
(decisions, verification record, follow-ups).
Tests: test/grok-mode.test.ts, test/grok-cli-resolver.test.ts, plus
extended clamp/system-routes/render-index-html/run-mode-ui/mobile-overview/
local-echo-gating coverage. npm test (the CI gate) green: 5910 tests.

codeman tui supersedes the sc bash chooser: it reaches sessions 10+,
carries the server's real states instead of a static list, and leaves an
attach with one key. Every place that told a user to run sc now names the
tui equivalent, including the two wiki pages and install.sh's next-steps
banner. Both wiki pages also carried the wrong detach chord (Ctrl+A D;
the socket's prefix is C-b), which the tui makes moot.
Source comments that explained themselves as "the sc -l replacement" now
just say what they do. docs/tui-plan.md and CHANGELOG.md are historical
records and keep their references.
CLAUDE.md gained "any new `tmux -L` caller through `resolveTmuxSocketName()`"
but architecture-invariants.md, which that bullet points at for the
mechanism, still described only the dataPath() half. Say why the rule
exists there too: the TUI is the first non-server process to shell out
to tmux.
The guide and the README both said to detach with `Ctrl+B D`. Beta testing
proved that wrong twice over: tmux binds lowercase `d` to `detach-client` and
capital `D` to `choose-client`, and even the correct letter fails for anyone who
keeps Ctrl held, because that sends `Ctrl+D`, which tmux leaves unbound. A
tester followed the documented instruction, stayed attached, and exited the
agent to escape.
Both now say `F1`, and the attach section describes what actually happens: the
session strip across the top of the pane, `Alt+1`..`Alt+9` switching without
returning to the dashboard, and `r` to resume a session whose pane has died.
Also corrected: `1-9` switches rather than jump-attaches, `x` confirms with `y`
rather than a typed name, and a new session opens straight into its pane.
`docs/tui-plan.md` is deliberately untouched — it is the design record of what
was planned, not a description of what shipped.
Three things the first beta test surfaced.
1. Attaching from a terminal of a different shape showed the pane clipped to the
browser's size, with tmux's dot padding filling the rest. Codeman pins every
window it owns to `window-size manual` at whatever the web client reports
(tmux-manager.ts), so no attaching client can resize it. The handoff now
brackets the attach with `window-size latest` and restores the snapshot on
detach. `latest`, rather than a one-off resize to our own size, is also what
lets a terminal resized MID-attach follow along: tmux recomputes on every
SIGWINCH while the TUI is blocked in spawnSync and cannot.
2. Nothing on screen said how to get back out, because Codeman keeps the status
bar off on its panes (the web UI carries that information around the terminal
instead). The tester exited the agent looking for the exit, leaving a dead
pane. An attach now wears a `status-format[0]` bar reading "<prefix> D
detach, back to the codeman dashboard", with the prefix READ from tmux rather
than assumed, and the session's options are put back exactly as they were on
detach. One option, not status-left/status-right, so tmux draws no window
list beside it; `reverse` so it inherits the terminal's own theme. Restoring
an array option unsets the BASE name, since dropping the `[0]` index leaves
an empty array, which renders as a blank bar on a session that had one. The
help overlay names the chord, and the dashboard confirms the detach.
3. Enter on a RECENT row said resuming was not wired up. It now creates a
session carrying that conversation (`resumeSessionId` plus `/interactive`,
the path the web UI's Resume Conversation list already uses), in the
directory it ran in and under its old name, then attaches to it.
The attach mechanics deliberately sit in a method the group dispatch cannot
reach, plus a re-entrancy flag: routing resume back through the Enter handler
re-dispatched on "this row is RECENT" and spawned one session per pass, 35 in
about 40 seconds on the beta before it was killed. test/tui/tui-e2e.test.ts
pins one press to one session with a pane that never appears, which is
exactly the case that looped.

The user guide covers what the dashboard is (and is not), the two
non-interactive fast paths, the four groups and their ordering, the full
keymap, what answering an approval does server-side, and the SSH/narrow
and degraded cases. The example frame is a real 100x30 capture against
the E2E fake server, not a drawing.
