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.

The run-mode dropdown hides CLIs that are not installed on the HOST (#201). That
is right for local sessions and wrong for a container case, whose agents run
inside the container: a host with no claude installed hides the mode while the
container ships one, which is exactly what happened on a real deployment.
The adoption preflight already probes what the container has, so that result is
persisted on the case and surfaced through CaseInfo. Docker cases gate on it;
every other case keeps the host probe unchanged.
An absent list reads as "do not gate" rather than "nothing available": an owned
container runs our base image, which ships every CLI, and treating unknown as
empty would leave the menu with Shell alone.
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.

Permission dialogs, AskUserQuestion questions and idle prompts from every
session now land in a server-side inbox (web/approval-inbox.ts, one item per
session, claude-mode only) and are answerable in place: a header bell + drawer
on desktop, inline answer strips on the phone overview's NEEDS YOU rows, and
working push Approve/Deny buttons (previously dead ends, now answered straight
from sw.js with no tab open). Pending alerts survive reloads because the
frontend seeds from GET /api/approvals on init.
Answering sends the digit / Esc / prompt text through the existing tmux input
path; option digits are accepted only when they match options parsed from the
captured pane frame, and the answer path re-captures the pane first so a
dialog that already left the screen refuses with 409 instead of typing into
the composer. New elicitation_complete / elicitation_response hook matchers
resolve question items the moment they are answered in the terminal;
refreshStaleCodemanHooks heals existing cases.
Verified end-to-end against a live claude session: a real AskUserQuestion
dialog parsed into 5 option buttons and was answered from the drawer.

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).

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.

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.

* 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.
