Replace string concatenation (+=) with array-based BufferAccumulator
in terminal buffer handling. This reduces garbage collection pressure
during high-throughput terminal streaming.
Changes:
- Add BufferAccumulator class with auto-trim on max size
- Convert _terminalBuffer and _textOutput to BufferAccumulator in session.ts
- Convert terminalBuffer to BufferAccumulator in respawn-controller.ts
- Remove manual trim logic (now handled by BufferAccumulator)

Claude sessions spawned by Claudeman now receive environment variables:
- CLAUDEMAN_SCREEN=1 - Indicates running within Claudeman
- CLAUDEMAN_SESSION_ID - The session's unique identifier
- CLAUDEMAN_SCREEN_NAME - The GNU Screen session name (when applicable)
This helps prevent Claude from attempting to kill its own screen session
and allows sessions to be aware of their managed environment.
Also updated the default CLAUDE.md template to document this behavior.

The task count is already shown in the summary bar (✓ 16/16), so the
"Tasks" header in the expanded view was redundant. Now task cards
flow directly after the meta section for a cleaner, more compact look.

The toggle icon was confusing because CSS rotation (90deg when expanded)
combined with JS icon swapping caused left arrow → right arrow transitions.
Changes:
- Remove CSS rotation transform from .ralph-toggle
- Use consistent down/up arrows matching Monitor panel convention
- Collapsed: ▼ (down) - click to expand
- Expanded: ▲ (up) - click to collapse

- Add ALL_COMPLETE_PATTERN to detect "All 8 files created" messages
- Add ALL_COUNT_PATTERN to extract count from completion messages
- Update detectAllTasksComplete to mark all todos as complete
- Update handleBareCompletionPhrase to mark todos complete
- Update handleCompletionPhrase to mark todos complete on 2nd occurrence
- Track bare phrase occurrences to avoid double-firing
This fixes an issue where the tracker would detect todos but not
mark them as complete when Claude outputs "All X files/tasks completed"
instead of individually checking off each todo.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously the Ralph tracker showed "Complete" whenever a completion phrase
was detected, even if tasks were still pending. Now it only shows "Complete"
when all todos are actually marked completed (100%).
Shows "Tracking" when:
- Tracker is enabled with pending tasks
- Completion phrase detected but tasks remain

Remove the large "done" animation that appeared when Ralph loops completed.
The completion state is now simply reflected in the tracker panel without
the intrusive overlay.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Performance improvements:
- Throttle cleanupExpiredTodos() to run every 30s instead of every chunk
- Add early exit in detectTodoItems() for lines without todo markers
- Remove redundant PROMISE_PATTERN check from LOOP_START_PATTERN
Code quality:
- Extract activateLoopIfNeeded() helper to eliminate duplicate loop start logic
- Improve hash function using djb2 algorithm for better distribution
- Add guards for empty/whitespace-only content in upsertTodo()
- Simplify startLoop() to use existing enable() method
Tests:
- Add 5 new tests for edge cases and optimizations
- Test empty content handling, early exit, ID uniqueness

- Add TODO_NATIVE_PATTERN to match ☐/☒/◐ icons from Claude Code's TodoWrite
- Add TODO_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS to filter out tool invocations (Bash, Search, etc.)
- Update iconToStatus() to recognize ☒ as completed

The tracker now correctly parses Claude Code's actual terminal output format
instead of only matching markdown checkboxes.

The tracker was incorrectly marking Ralph loops as complete when the
completion phrase appeared in the prompt text itself (e.g., when user
types the /ralph-loop command with the completion phrase in quotes).
Now it only marks completion when the loop is already active, and
records the expected phrase without triggering completion otherwise.

When the global "Enable Ralph Wiggum Tracker" setting was enabled,
new sessions had the tracker enabled on the server but the panel
wasn't rendered. The inner-config API call happened before
activeSessionId was set, so updateInnerState() didn't trigger
renderInnerStatePanel(). Added explicit call after setting activeSessionId.
