Codeman maintainer 4c705094f7 fix(terminal): ship the copy clean as a trailing trim, without the shared dedent
#451 cleaned two things on copy. The trailing trim is right and every native
terminal does it. The shared leading-indent strip is this project's own rule,
and it is dropped here rather than shipped.

Measured against the shipped transform over 401,445 three-row windows across
1,010 tracked files in this repo, it fired on 73% of them: 92% inside a YAML
workflow, 76% over `git log` output, 48% in a TypeScript source. No width
threshold separates a margin from content because they are the same widths, a
live Claude Code pane's own margins measuring 2 and 5 columns while the most
common non-TUI shared run is 4. The failure modes are not symmetric either: a
wrong trailing trim costs nothing, while a wrong dedent silently deletes
information that was on the screen, with nothing in the clipboard to hint at
it, on git log bodies, on indented code read out of cat (semantic in Python),
on git diff context rows where the leading space is the marker, and on stack
traces.

It also could not be made self-consistent cheaply. Whether the first row joined
the measurement depended on the mousedown COLUMN, which the user never sees, so
one block of three rows produced three different clipboard results; and the
flag read getSelectionPosition().start, which is xterm's mousedown anchor and
is never normalised, so dragging UP through a block read it off the bottom row.
The PR's test stub hardcoded a downward drag, so its suite could not express
that case.

The transform, the wiring, the tests, the invariants, CLAUDE.md, the wiki page
and the changeset all move together. The test block now pins the ABSENCE as a
contract, with the git log, Python and git diff cases as its examples, so this
is not re-derived later. If it is ever revisited, the one qualification that
measured clean is painted trailing padding: zero false positives over all
401,445 windows.

Also from the review: the comments and invariant rule justifying the
padding-only clear described the pre-change code (the Ctrl+C gate reads the
CLEANED selection now, so such a selection falls through to the PTY on its own
and the clear is feedback rather than protection), the new 'Nothing to copy'
toast gained its zh-CN entry, and the invariants paragraph no longer repeats
its own opening sentence.

Michael GrundbergandClaude Opus 5 f9edb33d15 fix(terminal): trim the padding and shared indent out of a copied selection
xterm hands back whole screen rows and trims only the cells that were
never written to, so the real spaces a full-screen TUI paints across the
unused part of a row count as content and reach the clipboard. Measured
against Claude Code in a 282-column pane, single lines arrived carrying
138 trailing spaces, and every line carried the two-space transcript
indent as well. Windows Terminal, iTerm2 and GNOME Terminal all trim that
for you, decideAutoCopy already calls a wall of spaces "never what the
gesture meant", and _selectTouchSelectionLine already treats those cells
as padding — the mouse and keyboard paths never had the same rule.

CodemanCopySelection.clean lives in constants.js beside decideAutoCopy,
its pure sibling. It drops the trailing run from each line, and removes
the leading run only where every selected row shares one. A selection of
a single row keeps its run, because one row shares nothing with anything
and stripping it would silently reindent one line of `git log` body text
or one line out of `less`. A drag that began inside a row keeps its
partial first line untouched and out of the measurement, which otherwise
pins the shared run to zero and leaves every following row indented.

Every pass over a line is a scan rather than a regex. `/[ \t]+(\r?)$/` is
quadratic on a line whose spaces are followed by a non-space character,
which is what right-aligned or centred TUI content looks like: measured
over 50 000 rows with a 280-column run it took 2.9s, against 1.3ms for
the scan, and a 2 000-column run took 16s. The scan is also the faster of
the two on an ordinary padded row.

cleanedTerminalSelection in terminal-ui.js is the half that needs the
live terminal. It returns a COLUMN selection untouched: Alt+drag makes
one, and a rectangle's rows lining up is the point of the gesture, so
both halves of the clean would destroy it. xterm exposes the mode nowhere
public, so the check reads terminal._core._selectionService, the way this
file already reads terminal._core for cell dimensions, and cleans
normally if a future xterm renames the field. A test pins that assumption
against the library rather than against a stub repeating the literal.

The Ctrl+C chord decides on the cleaned selection, not the raw one. A
drag across the blank part of a row selects real padding spaces, so the
raw text is truthy, and testing it would spend that press on a copy of
nothing and make the user press again to interrupt. A padding-only
selection is now dropped and the press falls through to the PTY, while
Ctrl+Shift+C still never falls through. copyTerminalSelection gates on
trim() for the same reason, since a multi-row drag across padding cleans
to line breaks alone and a bare newline pasted into a chat composer
submits it.

All four of the main terminal's copy paths go through it: the Ctrl+C
chord, right-click, the phone selection button and Auto Copy. The
browser's own Edit menu copy, a disabled copy shortcut and the subagent
windows still copy raw rows, as they did before, and the invariants doc
now says so rather than claiming every copy is cleaned. Auto Copy
resolves its own toggle before it reads the selection, since it is off by
default and a selection can run to the 50 000-row scrollback ceiling.

Codeman maintainer bd286bf502 docs(wiki): catch the manual up to 1.29.0 and add the three run modes it never had
The wiki was written for seven run modes and never received Grok Build, DeepSeek
Harness or OMP. They now appear everywhere the others do: the modes table and
per-CLI notes, install commands, environment prefixes, the Quick Start table, the
requirements rows, the vocabulary, and every "seven modes" count.

The 1.27 to 1.29.0 changes land on the pages that own them: attaching a case to an
existing container, multi-case adoption and the copy-a-case picker (Docker Cases);
file reads over ssh in remote cases and what stays unavailable (Remote SSH Sessions,
Working With Files, Security); single-page app routing, frame recovery, localhost
links as tabs and the egress guard (Web Tabs); DeepSeek as the one non-Claude mode
with real stop/blocked signals and Approvals items, Codex's own work detection,
last-response, the model-endpoint routes and refreshed counts (HTTP API, Driving
From An Agent, Hooks, Notifications, Keeping Agents Running, Core Concepts);
Shift+drag, right-click copy, Auto Copy, the Ctrl+Z guard, font weight, the vertical
rail and its activity sort (Keyboard Shortcuts, Input And Voice, The Dashboard,
Settings Reference); the 600px phone cutoff, Codex shift arrows and iPhone Duo
(Mobile Guide); the Docker Compose route and its update rule (Installation, Running
As A Service); four new symptom entries and a "which CLIs" question (Troubleshooting,
FAQ).

Custom model endpoints are deliberately left to #430, which adds that page and edits
Agent CLIs, Settings Reference and the sidebar; these edits stay out of the regions
#430, #428 and #376 touch, and all three still merge cleanly on top.

Both READMEs: the web-tab menu entry is labelled "Add URL" in the UI, not
"Add dashboard".

Michael GrundbergandClaude Opus 5 b87bc6871b fix(paste): handle only the first paste event the Ctrl+V trap receives
Ctrl+V in the terminal inserted the clipboard text twice. Right-click →
Paste inserted it once.

`_handleImagePaste()` appends a hidden contenteditable div, focuses it, and
reads the clipboard out of the paste event that lands there. Two separate
routes deliver that event for a single keypress. The function issues
`document.execCommand('paste')` itself, which in Firefox dispatches a
trusted paste event and then returns false, because the trap cancels the
event and the command never completes; Chromium and WebKit refuse that
command and dispatch nothing. The keydown's own default action delivers the
other, because xterm calls the custom key handler before its own `cancel()`,
so returning false never calls preventDefault. Firefox therefore ran the
trap's listener twice and both runs reached `terminal.paste()`. The
context-menu paste involves no keydown at all, which is why that path stayed
correct.

The trap now accepts the first paste event and cancels every later one, so
how many paste events a browser delivers no longer changes what the PTY
sees. Measured on a live install, one Ctrl+V each: Firefox two events and
two writes before this change, Chromium and WebKit one and one, and every
engine one write after it.

The `execCommand('paste')` call stays. Stripping it out also ends the
doubling, and all three engines still deliver one event without it, since
`trap.focus()` has already run when the key's default action resolves. It is
kept because the trap technique arrived in #84 for plain HTTP and for
mobile, and a desktop measurement says nothing about real iOS Safari or
Android Chrome: where a browser aims the default action at the element
focused when the keydown began, the command is the only route into the trap,
and the trap is the only place clipboard image blobs are read.

test/image-paste-trap.test.ts loads image-input.js into a `node:vm` context
with a fake document and fires two paste events at the trap. It covers text
and images, and fails on the old code with the text pasted twice and the
image uploaded twice.

Docs: the invariant goes into docs/architecture-invariants.md as a Terminal
paste section and into CLAUDE.md as a Frontend entry, both recording the
measured event counts and why the redundant call is still there. README.md
and the Keyboard Shortcuts and Input and Voice wiki pages gain a Ctrl+V row,
which all three tables were missing while listing every other clipboard
binding.

Codeman maintainer f3cb7696f0 docs: publish docs/wiki as the user manual, with a sync workflow
30 pages covering install, concepts, the dashboard, the agent CLIs, unattended
runs, remote and Docker cases, security and the HTTP API, plus a sidebar and a
footer. The wiki repo has no CI and no review, so docs/wiki is the source of
truth and .github/workflows/wiki-sync.yml mirrors it on every push to master.

The workflow refuses to mirror when docs/wiki is missing or holds no pages,
because it deletes before it copies and would otherwise publish the deletion of
every page. The footer carries a {{VERSION}} placeholder stamped at publish
time rather than a hand-written version, which went stale on every release.
