The bounded path probe answered "absent" both when a path did not exist and
when it simply did not answer, so a stalled linked case 404'd and the Run
button scaffolded a stray local case over it, and two stalled paths anywhere
made every unrelated path read as absent (hooks skipped, statusLine
overridden, the clone warning lost).
- probePath()/probePathKind() are tri-state: present (or directory/file),
absent (ENOENT/ENOTDIR only) and unknown (timeout, other errors, refusal).
boundedPathExists() stays as the display-only boolean.
- A stalled path takes only its own mount out of probing (deepest mount
point from /proc/self/mounts, never /; just the path itself when there is
no mount table). Unrelated paths keep probing. The process-wide cap is a
backstop that answers unknown, and a single-path user request can probe
past it ({ pastCap: true }), still bounded and still recorded as stalled.
One console.warn when a path first stalls and one when the cap engages.
- GET /api/cases/:name keeps NOT_FOUND for definite absence only. An
unreachable linked case answers with its registered path and
unreachable: true; a local one answers OPERATION_FAILED. runClaude and
runShell create a case only on errorCode NOT_FOUND. The case list keeps an
unreachable linked case, marked unreachable, instead of dropping it, and
fix-plan reports an unreadable plan as an error, not "no plan".
- applyWorkspaceHooks and the statusLine helpers skip only a workspace that
is absent or on the stalled mount; a capacity refusal no longer stops
hooks being installed elsewhere, and an unreadable settings file never
lets the exporter override a user's own statusLine.
- The clone flow's repo-settings warning is back on its synchronous check,
and stripCaseEnvKeys uses pathExistsForWrite.
- POST /api/sessions (workingDir) and POST /api/quick-start (case folder)
probe with the bounded probe instead of statSync/existsSync. Missing and
non-directory keep INVALID_INPUT; unknown is OPERATION_FAILED, and
quick-start never scaffolds over a folder that did not answer.
- PATH_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS and MAX_STALLED_PATH_PROBES move to
src/config/path-probe.ts, overridable via CODEMAN_PATH_PROBE_TIMEOUT_MS
(default 1500) and CODEMAN_PATH_PROBE_MAX_STALLED (default 3), and are
documented in the Settings Reference.
- The probe is exported from the utils barrel and imported from there.
A linked case can live on a network mount. When that mount goes away, a
hard mount makes stat() wait indefinitely, and the existsSync() probes in
the case routes and the workspace hook/statusline helpers ran on the event
loop, so a single GET /api/cases (or a session create in that workspace)
froze the whole web server until the mount came back.
Add boundedPathExists() (src/utils/bounded-path-probe.ts): an async stat
that answers "absent" after 1.5 s, shares one in-flight probe per path,
remembers a timed-out path until its stat finally settles, and refuses to
start new probes while two stalled ones still hold libuv threadpool
workers. Route the read-side probes in case-routes.ts and hooks-config.ts
through it. The settings writers in hooks-config.ts use an async lstat
that treats only ENOENT as missing, so an unreachable workspace is never
mistaken for an empty one and has its settings recreated.
- UI: add the missing data-tab="case-remote" tab button; dispatch it through
submitCaseModal()/switchCaseModalTab() to linkRemoteCase() (was dead code).
- Restore: restoreMuxSessions() now passes remote (muxSession.remote ??
savedState.remote) into the Session constructor, so remote metadata round-trips
on restart instead of reattaching from a local cwd / respawning LOCAL / being
erased from state.json. Recovery tests added.
- Run flows: runClaude()/runShell() route remote cases through /api/quick-start
(POST /api/sessions stat-validates workingDir locally); run*() skip the
/api/*/status pre-check and omit inert config/env for remote cases.
- Quick-start: resolve the remote case BEFORE the local CLI availability gates and
skip isCodex/Gemini/OpenCodeAvailable() when remote; REJECT
envOverrides/effort/codex/gemini/openCode config for remote (they don't cross
ssh) instead of silently dropping them.
- Injection: reject $, backtick, $( in remotePath + identityFile at the schema
layer (they survive shellescape into the bash -c launch double-quote layer).
Regression tests for $(...) and backtick payloads added.
- Remote socket/name: launch on a DEDICATED -L codeman-remote socket under a
codeman-ssh-<id> name that fails a remote Codeman's SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN, so a
remote instance can't adopt the session; scope tmux set-options per-session
(never -g) so they don't mutate other sessions.
- Kill: best-effort ssh 'tmux -L codeman-remote kill-session' on remote session
kill (fire-and-forget, never blocks/throws the local kill) so the remote agent
isn't orphaned forever.
- Probe: wire checkRemoteTmuxAvailable() into POST /api/quick-start (structured
OPERATION_FAILED) and as courtesy validation in remote-link; add a default
-o ConnectTimeout=10 to buildSshConnectionArgs (overridable via extraSshOptions).
- Command default: remote claude default is now
'exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' (per-host override stays the escape
hatch), mirroring local non-interactive semantics.

The Remote case form could only reach port-22, default-identity, directly
SSH-able hosts. Add an escape-hatch set of SSH connection options so Codeman
can reach a host like aa-desktop (custom port 2222, ed25519 identity, cloudflared
SOCKS5 ProxyCommand) the way ssh-aa-desktop does — without shelling out to that
wrapper.
- Model (types/session.ts): new optional RemoteSshOptions (identityFile,
socksProxy, jumpHost, extraSshOptions) on RemoteHost AND SessionRemote; all
absent = today's behavior. toSessionRemote() carries them case->session.
- Shared buildSshConnectionArgs(remote) in remote-hosts.ts: pure, exported,
ordered ssh connection tokens (-o BatchMode=yes, -p, -i <abs identity with
~/$HOME expanded + shellescaped>, -J, -o ProxyCommand=nc -X 5 -x <socks>
%h %p emitted as ONE shellescaped token so %h %p reach ssh literally, then
each extraSshOptions -o). Both buildRemoteLaunchCommand (tmux-manager.ts) and
buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand now use it, so the prereq probe and the real
launch connect identically. checkRemoteTmuxAvailable widened to accept the
options (callers already pass the full host).
- Validation (schemas.ts): identityFile (no newline/NUL), socksProxy
(host:port), jumpHost (no shell metachars), extraSshOptions (KEY=VALUE,
reject newline/NUL/backtick/$() — defense-in-depth on operator-entered config.
- UI (index.html + session-ui.js): SSH Port field + collapsible "Advanced SSH"
section (identity, SOCKS proxy, jump host, extra -o options one per line);
wired into the remote-host create payload.
Empty-options remotes emit byte-identical ssh to before (pinned by test).
Tests: test/remote-ssh-options.test.ts (buildSshConnectionArgs +
buildRemoteLaunchCommand + buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand for the aa-desktop set,
escaping/%h %p/identity-~ expansion, byte-identical back-compat); case-routes
schema tests (advanced options round-trip; malformed extraSshOptions/socksProxy
rejected). tsc/eslint/frontend-syntax/prettier/build clean.
Acceptance (real remote, no wrapper): the emitted command connected to
aa-desktop through the cloudflared SOCKS proxy and created a durable remote
tmux session (verified independently via ssh-aa-desktop: CONNECTED_NO_WRAPPER,
STILL_ALIVE_AFTER_DETACH); checkRemoteTmuxAvailable over the proxy returned
{ok:true, tmuxPath:/usr/local/bin/tmux}; test session cleaned up.
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.

* fix(test): share route error handler with test harness + fix stale assertions
The route test harness built a bare Fastify instance without the production
global error handler (server.ts), so structured errors thrown by route helpers
(findSessionOrFail → 404, parseBody → 400) fell through to Fastify's default
handler — yielding a `{statusCode,error,message}` body instead of the
`{success:false,...}` shape, and the tests asserted the old implicit-200
behavior. 51 route tests across 7 files were red.
- Extract the handler into src/web/route-error-handler.ts; server.ts and the
test harness now install the identical handler (single source of truth).
- Correct stale assertions across route test files: throw-based error paths
now assert 404 (unknown session) / 400 (invalid body); genuine in-handler
`return createErrorResponse(...)` paths (200 + success:false) left untouched.
- Reformat a few test files prettier flagged (pre-existing non-compliance).
Route suite: 307/307 passing (was 256/307). No production behavior change.
* test(respawn): mock child_process so AI checker never spawns real processes
respawn-controller.test.ts drives the AI idle checker (ai-checker-base), whose
runCheck() spawns a real `tmux new-session` running `claude -p`. The AI-enabled
tests only assert the ai_checking state transition (then cancel/stop), so the
spawn produced stray real tmux sessions and claude processes on every run — the
reason `npm test` (full suite) was unsafe to run inside a managed session.
Mock node:child_process here (mirroring ai-idle-checker.test.ts), spreading the
real module so `exec` stays intact for transitively-imported modules
(tmux-manager calls promisify(exec) at load). With this, the full non-mobile
suite runs without spawning any real tmux/claude.
