Switching away from a session and back replayed only the server's byte
history. For TUI modes (codex especially) that shows just the latest
repaint — the idle banner — because the TUI drops earlier conversation
from its current frame. This restores the actual on-screen view.
Two complementary mechanisms:
- Client: load xterm's SerializeAddon and snapshot the rendered state
(viewport + scrollback + colors) per session on switch-away, restoring
it for an instant first paint on switch-back. The snapshot is only the
first paint — the canonical /terminal frame is still fetched and
reconciled (restoredSnapshot/clearedForBusy force the replay). Snapshots
are LRU-bounded in memory (<=20) and persisted to localStorage
(<=256KB each, <=10 sessions, stale-pruned) so they survive tab discard.
- Server: GET /api/sessions/:id/terminal prepends the live tmux pane
buffer (via the existing captureActivePaneBuffer) ahead of the byte
history, cleared between, so replay reflects the current frame.
Also fix formatPaneSnapshot dropping the rightmost column of every
captured row: it painted to cols - 1 out of caution about last-column
autowrap, but every row is followed by an absolute cursor-position CSI
that cancels xterm's pending-wrap, so painting the full width is safe.
The SerializeAddon is built from @xterm/addon-serialize (new dependency)
into the vendor bundle by postinstall.js (dev) and build.mjs (prod),
matching how the other xterm addons are vendored.
The self-hosted gesture assets (~27MB of wasm runtime + gesture_recognizer.task)
were committed to the repo. Replace that with scripts/fetch-gesture-assets.mjs,
which downloads them into src/web/public/gesture/ — idempotent (skips existing)
and non-fatal (the overlay is opt-in via CODEMAN_GESTURE=1, so a fetch failure
only warns). Wired into:
- postinstall.js (dev: populates src/web/public/gesture for `npm run dev`)
- build.mjs (before `cp -r src/web/public dist/web/`, so prod/dist gets them)
The files are already covered by the bare `public` .gitignore rule, so they
stay untracked. The overlay bundle (gesture-codeman.js) remains committed — it's
built from a separate repo and is small. Pin @mediapipe wasm to 0.10.21 to match
the bundled tasks-vision API.

xterm.js 6.0.0 natively handles DEC mode 2026 (synchronized output),
which renders Ink's cursor-up redraws atomically at the parser level.
This eliminates split-frame rendering that caused table header loss
and garbled overlapping text in Claude CLI sessions.
- Migrate from xterm/xterm-addon-* to @xterm/* scoped packages
- Update build.mjs and postinstall.js vendor paths
- Remove old xterm 5.x dependencies
* 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.

* docs: fix inaccuracies in CLAUDE.md
- Fix types barrel path: src/types.ts → src/types/index.ts
- Update app.js line count: ~12K → ~11.5K
- Correct route handler counts (113 → 111, per-group fixes)
- Add code style, ESM gotcha, env vars, route test, lifecycle log docs
- Add Node 22 CI note, test teardown timeout, port range

* docs: add mobile screenshots and QR auth security writeup to README
Add 3 mobile screenshots (landing, idle, active) and expand the
mobile section with QR auth security design details and a
touch-optimized interface subsection.

* feat: bundle xterm-zerolag-input as vendor IIFE and add pre-commit hook
Build and postinstall now bundle the local xterm-zerolag-input package
as an IIFE at vendor/xterm-zerolag-input.js with global LocalEchoOverlay
shim. Add git pre-commit hook that runs prettier --check on staged .ts
files to catch format issues before CI.
Also bump constants.js and app.js cache-bust versions to 0.3.0 and add
tunnel upload URL display row in settings.

- Replace post-install instructions with interactive launch menu
(run now / systemd service / skip)
- Uninstall now cleans up both codeman-web and codeman-tunnel services

* refactor: WIP — SSE event constants, @fileoverview docs, CLAUDE.md compression
- Migrate broadcast() string literals → SseEvent.* typed constants
- Add @fileoverview with cross-domain references to all 13 type domain files
- Add @fileoverview to frontend JS modules (constants, mobile, voice, etc.)
- Add section dividers to route files for LLM scanability
- Compress CLAUDE.md: flat file list → domain table, fix counts

CLAUDE.md: 456 → 309 lines (32% reduction)
- Merge Commands into compact table, remove redundant bash block
- Convert Security section to dense table format
- Merge Performance + Resource Limits, Debugging + Troubleshooting
- Compress Tunnel, Memory Leak, Scripts, Screenshots sections
- Remove Key Patterns that duplicate @fileoverview in source files
Backend @fileoverview enhancements (10 priority files):
- session.ts: key methods, events, cross-domain refs
- respawn-controller.ts: state machine, idle detection layers
- ralph-tracker.ts: exports, circuit breaker, events
- ralph-loop.ts: lifecycle, persistence, events
- subagent-watcher.ts: watched patterns, teammate detection
- server.ts: coordination list, port interfaces
- state-store.ts: dual-file persistence, migration
- session-manager.ts: lifecycle methods, mutex guard
- hooks-config.ts: hook events list, categories
- sse-events.ts: category breakdown (~90 events, 17 categories)
Frontend app.js: add 6 section dividers, update @fileoverview line refs

handleInit() called KeyboardHandler.cleanup() and MobileDetection.cleanup()
on every SSE connect but never re-initialized them, breaking keyboard
scroll-into-view and the /init /clear accessory bar on mobile.
