Fifteen review findings on the fast-path rewrite plus one caught live, all
verified against a real 1.18.1 server before landing:
- sendwait picks a fresh seq (the epoch second) instead of a fixed 2, so a
second prompt to the same worker is typed instead of silently swallowed as
an already-applied duplicate; explicit seq remains for deliberate resends
- sendwait self-heals stranded delivery: an Ink repaint occasionally eats the
Enter (observed live), so a timed-out short first wait sends one bare \r and
re-waits by resending the identical frame as a tagged duplicate
- spawn_worker verifies the resolved casePath carries Codeman hooks (the same
/api/hook-event marker the server checks), refusing names that resolve to
linked or pre-existing hook-less directories instead of running the job in
what may be the user's real repo
- spawn_worker probes the trust dialog after a short 5s composer wait, not the
full 45s, restoring the ladder staging verbs.md documents; on a readiness
miss it deletes the half-spawned session and returns 1 with empty stdout,
so a prompt can never be typed blind into a trust dialog
- spawn_workers refuses duplicate case names and empty argument lists, and
keys result files by index
- section 1 is bash 3.2 compatible (indexed arrays, no declare -A), prints the
full delivered/timedOut/signal tuple per worker with an explicit line for a
missing result, deletes only workers whose turn really ended (a timeout
means still working), cleans up spawned siblings when any spawn fails, and
guards its mktemp
- last_text takes the previous answer as an optional second argument for
consecutive-turn reads (the transcript briefly serves the prior answer
after a stop, observed live)
- the stale duplicate bullets in section 1's closing list are gone
- reference/verbs.md joins the mode-list drift guard's file list
- README's skill inventory covers verbs.md and the new SKILL.md shape
- the changeset is minor so the shipped release matches the 1.19.0 stamp

`GET /api/pi/status` shipped undocumented in the agent skill, and only a human
reading the doc noticed. Turns out none of its five siblings were documented
either, so this adds the whole family in one place: spawning with a mode whose
CLI is absent fails with OPERATION_FAILED rather than falling back, which is
exactly what an agent picking a backend it did not choose needs to know. Pi's
extra `.data.version` is called out, since a false `available:false` there means
an unrelated `pi` is in front on PATH.
On whether the endpoint scanner should also check registered-to-documented:
measured, and NO for the general case. The skill documents 34 of 217 registered
endpoints deliberately (it is an agent guide, not an API reference), so a blanket
reverse check needs a 183-entry allowlist that would fail CI on unrelated route
work and get appended to mechanically, which is worse than the gap it closes.
Grouping by path shape does not save it either: the families that yields are
things like `DELETE /api/<any>/:id`, lumping cases, webviews and docker hosts
together, and it would not have caught this gap anyway (the family had zero
documented members).
What IS cheap is a family the schema can enumerate with no allowlist: the new
assertion derives the agent modes from the Zod enum and requires each one's
`/api/<mode>/status` to be documented, so a seventh backend fails here until it
is. The sibling scanner still proves the other direction, that nothing documented
is a 404. Both mutation-checked: dropping pi's probe fails the new guard, and
documenting a nonexistent probe fails the old one.

Second review pass on #282, the three items left open after f4dcfbe.
1. `codeman doctor` and the run mode disagreed about pi. The registry entry
accepted a bare `which pi` hit while pi-cli-resolver demanded semver-shaped
`--version` output, so the Dependencies panel could report an installed Pi CLI
on a box where Run Pi stays hidden, which reads as a broken mode rather than a
missing install. Both sides now share one exported PI_VERSION_REGEX, and
PathResolver gains an opt-in `requireVersionMatch` so a binary that fails the
shape check is reported MISSING instead of installed-with-unknown-version.
Only pi sets it; every other tool keeps its current behaviour.
2. The isAltScreenStripMode comment justified excluding pi with "the alt screen
is load-bearing for its fullscreen TUI". That is not what exclusion does: pi
is tmux-backed, so it falls through to isMuxAltScreenOnlyStripMode, which
strips the alt-screen toggles anyway. What exclusion actually preserves is
`\x1b[3J` and the mouse DECSETs, which is the real reason (pi renders into the
main screen and is mouse-aware). Comment and changeset now say that, and state
the consequence: fullscreen pi paints into the main buffer, like vim in a tmux
shell session.
3. skills/codeman still enumerated the five pre-pi modes in nine places, telling
agents a backend does not exist and understating class-wide caveats by one
mode. All updated, plus stale session.ts line references refreshed.
Tests: a new static guard derives the mode set from the Zod schema (not a copy)
and fails when a skill enumeration lists a partial set of external CLIs, verified
by mutation. It also documents the one legitimate exception it found: the "writes
no transcript" lists drop codex, which does write a rollout Codeman reads back.
Plus doctor cases for an unrelated `pi` on PATH and registry/resolver regex parity.
