- Remote omp command now renders through buildSpawnCommandFromRegistry
(the mode-agnostic engine local/docker spawns use) instead of the
buildOmpCommand() the CLI-registry refactor deleted.
- Session._pinOmpRespawnId()/_maybeCaptureOmpSessionId() now skip
host-local ~/.omp resolution entirely for a remote session and fall
back to --continue: that resolver only ever reads THIS host's
filesystem, which is meaningless (and could wrongly alias an
unrelated local conversation) for a conversation that lives on the
remote host.
- Remote-claude launch now honors an explicit resumeSessionId distinct
from sessionId (mirrors claudeDockerPaneCommand's shape), and
validates sessionId the same way that sibling does before
interpolating it into the remote shell command.
- Add the still-missing header-cwd half of the trailing-slash test,
and document respawn/reattach continuation + auto-reconnect-vs-
clean-exit in docs/remote-sessions.md.

#385 made the composer glyph and the working status line per-CLI registry
data, which is right, but `workingLine` arrived as a config-supplied regex
validated with a bare `new RegExp()`. That skips `compileVersionRegex()`,
the helper the registry uses for exactly this: a `~/.codeman/clis.json`
override can set the field, the compiled pattern is run against every
accumulated PTY chunk and every pane capture, and a nested quantifier there
backtracks on the event loop for the whole server rather than one session.
Route it through the helper in both places, which are not redundant: the
schema refine rejects the entry at LOAD time so a bad pattern never reaches
a session, and `_workingLinePattern()` compiles through the same helper so
the runtime cannot hold a pattern the schema would have refused. The helper
returns null instead of throwing, so the Claude-pattern fallback stops being
a try/catch and becomes structural. Both shipped patterns compile unchanged,
and Claude's is behaviourally identical to CLAUDE_WORKING_LINE_PATTERN.
Also match the Codex footer case-insensitively on the E. It was
characterised against codex-cli 0.152.1, which prints a lowercase `esc`;
a version capitalising it would make the whole fix silently inert, since
the pane would simply never look like it was working.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, architecture-invariants and cli-registry.md all still
stated the Claude-mode-only rule this PR retires, and none of them named
the new capability or the regex guard.

Merging with follow-up fixes applied on master: workingLine routed through compileVersionRegex() in both the schema refine and _workingLinePattern(), the Codex footer matched case-insensitively on the E, plus the doc passages that stated the retired Claude-mode-only rule.
master and this branch both rewrote the two `_claudeSessionId` resets inside
`start()`, so `src/session.ts` conflicted at both of them.
master's commit ccfda623 puts `restoredConversation` at the head of each
fallback chain. A restored mux attach means the CLI never stopped, so a
`/clear` before the Codeman restart may already have moved it to a
conversation the launch id knows nothing about. The persisted chain's tail is
that conversation, and the CLI's own hook reported it first-hand.
This branch adds `this._codexConfig?.resumeSessionId` to the same two chains,
so a resumed codex session keeps its thread-id alias across every mux reattach
and boot recovery.
Both fixes belong. Each chain now reads restoredConversation, then
_resumeSessionId, then omp's alias, then codex's alias, then the launch id.
The comments from both sides are kept.
test/session-claude-conversation-chain.test.ts pins the shape of those two
assignments by matching the source text, and its pattern named omp's alias as
the last term before `this.id`. Codex's alias now sits between the two, so the
pattern widens to pin the ends of the chain and let the middle grow. A `[^;]`
run cannot cross a statement boundary, so each match is still one assignment.
Checked on the merged tree: typecheck, lint, prettier and the frontend syntax
check all pass, and the CI suite runs 6721 tests green across 349 files.

Review fixes for #386.
Duplicate rows. A codex conversation showed twice, once live and once as a
past rollout row, because nothing aliased a codex session to its thread id.
That is worse than cosmetic: the stale row still resumes, so clicking it
starts a second `codex resume` on a thread already open in another pane.
- A RESUMED session knows its thread id up front, so it folds from its own
side: add `codexConfig.resumeSessionId` to the `claudeSessionId` chain.
Not only in the constructor — `start()` recomputes that id at two further
points (the mux branch, and the unconditional "third reset point" whose
own comment already warned that omitting omp's fallback there stomps the
mux branch's resolved alias). Both listed Claude's and omp's ids only, so
for codex every mux reattach and boot recovery reset the alias back to
the Codeman id and the duplicate returned.
- A FRESH session has no thread id until codex writes the rollout, so it is
folded from the other side. The scanner now reports
`session_meta.originator`, which is `codeman_<sessionId>` for every pane
Codeman spawns, and `gatherUnifiedInputs()` stamps the matching live and
persisted rows, newest rollout winning (`/new` inside the TUI leaves
several rollouts sharing one originator).
- Persisted rows read `codexConfig.resumeSessionId` too. A resumed session
demoted to a persisted-only record would otherwise lose its alias, and
the originator fallback cannot rescue that one: a resumed rollout keeps
its ORIGINAL session_meta, so it still names the pane that created the
thread rather than the pane that resumed it.
Identity cache. It was written as soon as the thread id was known, but codex
writes the first user message only when the user submits, so any scan in that
window pinned `firstPrompt: undefined` for the life of the process — and the
home screen, the command palette and the search-index refresh all scan.
`shouldCacheIdentity()` now keeps an identity only once the prompt is known or
the head read filled its whole window.
Also from review: both caps count emitted rows rather than file index, so a
store of sub-agent threads no longer spends the `lastPrompt` budget before the
first row that needed it; the cache is an `LRUMap` sized like the one beside
it; the unreachable filename fallback is gone; a rollout recording no cwd is
dropped rather than emitted with `workingDir: ''`; and the unified-session
module header names all three transcript stores.
Tests. The resume wiring now has cases for a row with a thread id, a row
without one, and a `resumeId` on a non-codex row; the "no continuation is
wired" case narrows to gemini/antigravity, which is no longer true of codex.
`codex-resume-alias-survives-start.test.ts` drives a real Session through
`start()` rather than asserting on pre-stamped inputs — that gap is why the
reset points went unnoticed. Plus the maintainer's own cache repro, the
tail-budget case, a no-cwd case, and merge cases for both folds.
A Codex session reported `isWorking: false` for its entire life, including
mid-turn. Codeman has four paths that mark a session working, and all four were
inert for Codex:
- The spinner fast path tests eight braille frames, and Codex animates none.
- The activity-streak fallback was wrapped in `!isExternalCliMode(mode)`.
- The pane probe inside `_confirmIdle` would have matched, since Codex prints
`esc to interrupt`, but arming it required the literal glyph `❯` and Codex
draws `›` on its composer row.
- The text detector sat inside `_processExpensiveParsers`, whose first statement
returns early for an external CLI.
Add an optional `workDetect: { promptGlyph, workingLine }` to CliCapabilities,
so the two strings that differ per CLI are registry data rather than constants
in the detector. Claude declares its existing pair and behaves as before. Codex
declares `›` and `esc to interrupt`. The text detector moves above the
external-CLI early return, guarded on the descriptor so a CLI without one still
skips the ANSI strip that the early return used to save it.
A CLI that declares no descriptor falls back to Claude's pair, and the
activity-streak gate now reads "has a descriptor, or is not external", so the
plain shell mode keeps the behaviour it had.
Rewrite the test that asserted the old premise in its own comment, so it makes
the same guarantee for a genuinely uncharacterised CLI, and add Codex coverage
built from verbatim pane captures on Codex CLI 0.152.1.
Every run mode is now a `CliEntry` in `src/config/cli-registry/` — discovery
(search dirs, version + identity probes), the launch argv template, env
handling, the `capabilities` flags that replace per-CLI branching, and the
`overlays` that back the remote/docker pane commands. Code that used to ask
"which CLI is this?" reads the entry instead.
Behaviour is unchanged. `test/cli-registry-spawn-golden.test.ts` pins every
spawn command as a literal string, captured from the hand-written builders
before they were deleted, and `test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts` does the
same for all 20 remote and in-container pane commands.
Config can never contain shell text: an entry declares typed argv tokens,
literals are validated against a safe-word pattern at LOAD time (a bad literal
rejects the whole entry — a silently dropped `--no-approve` is not cosmetic),
and values resolve through patterns NAMED in code, so a user `clis.json` cannot
widen its own validation. `~/.codeman/clis.json` overrides any entry, read-only
in this release.
OMP is included as a registry entry rather than a tenth hand-written builder,
so `buildOmpCommand()`, the omp availability pre-flight, the omp arm of
`buildPathExport()` and the omp entries in the truecolor/NO_COLOR, alt-screen
and doctor ladders all drop out.
Guard rails:
- `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` fails the build if per-CLI-id
branching reappears outside `stock.ts`, in any of its four shapes (`===`,
`!==`, `switch`/`case`, `includes`) — an `===`-only version would miss the
negated forms, which is how 36 of them survived an earlier pass. Every
allowlisted branch carries its reason.
- `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` stay three INDEPENDENT capabilities;
deriving one from another shipped the `until=stop`-hangs-on-shell bug.
- `param` is two namespaces. `launch.params` keys, `configSetenv.fromParam` and
`privilegedParams[].param` all name a LAUNCH param; the legacy `<Mode>Config`
wire field is separate, bridged only by `legacyConfigAliases`. Getting
`privilegedParams[].param` wrong is SILENT — it is the multi-user bypass
clamp's only handle on a CLI's privilege switch, and a wrong name clamps
nothing with no error and no failing test — so `schema.ts` rejects an entry
naming a param it never declared.
- Registry data resolves AT CALL TIME (`sessionModeSchema()`,
`allowedEnvPrefixes()`, `dependencyRegistry()`, the resolvers' `searchDirs`
thunks). A module-level const freezes at first import, so a CLI enabled while
the server ran moved the run menu but not that surface.
- Six fields are annotated DECLARED-FOR-LATER and read by nothing
(`shortBadge`, `accent`, `capabilities.echo`/`wheelForward`/
`keyboardAccessory`/`maxFrameBytes`): all frontend behaviour, transcribed
rather than measured. A test pins the list so it cannot quietly grow.
Three user-visible changes, all deliberate and named:
- `probeDockerCliVersion()` derives the in-container binary from the registry
rather than assuming it equals the mode name (`antigravity` runs `agy`).
- The remote CLI version probe now covers grok and deepseek, which the
hardcoded map it replaces omitted while its own comment said the rule was
"every mode except shell".
- `codeman doctor`'s CLI rows are generated from the entries, so Claude's
install hint is the install command rather than a docs URL, five CLIs gain
hints they never had, and the row order follows the catalog.
Also hardened along the way: `sessionModeSchema()` is bounded at 24 chars
(matching the `cliId` pattern) before its failure message quotes the value
back, and `deepMerge` skips `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` when reading
the hand-editable `clis.json`.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01WQkoi1cNegqVwZHgzx5SbJ
Which conversation a pane is on was re-derived by correlating
~/.claude/history.jsonl against Session.lastSubmitAt — and lastSubmitAt is
bumped only by input that flows through Codeman's own write path
(Session.write / writeViaMux). A user who attaches to the pane's tmux session
directly never set it, so resolveActiveClaudeSessionIdFromHistory() returned at
its first line for that pane's whole life and the response viewer stayed pinned
to the launch conversation, showing a pre-/clear transcript indefinitely.
A UserPromptSubmit hook reports the live conversation id from inside the CLI
process, delivered under the pane's own $CODEMAN_SESSION_ID. That binding is a
fact rather than a correlation: it never consults workingDir, so it cannot be
claimed by a sibling pane on the same folder, a closed tab, or a bare `claude`
in the user's terminal. A pane holding such an id skips the correlation
entirely, so the number of prompts eligible for cwd-based guessing goes DOWN,
never up — the naive alternative (relax the guard, or synthesize an anchor from
PTY activity) is the reverted bug the resolver's own comment describes.
The hook also stamps lastSubmitAt, so it finally means "a prompt was submitted"
rather than "typed into Codeman's web terminal". Conversations vouched for
first-hand — and only those — extend a persisted claudeSessionChain, whose tail
re-pins the conversation when a surviving tmux session is re-attached after a
restart. ⚠️ start() resets the id at THREE points and the last one runs
unconditionally after the mux branch, so the tail is applied there too; patching
only the mux branch looks right and silently does nothing.
⚠️ The hook's stdout is discarded with curl's own -o /dev/null. Claude Code
injects a UserPromptSubmit hook's stdout into the model's context ("Exit code 0
- stdout shown to Claude"), and a trailing >/dev/null does NOT work: curlCmd
already ends `... 2>/dev/null || true`, and in `pipeline || true >/dev/null` the
shell binds the redirection to `true`, which never runs on the success path. The
discard is opt-in so the five SSE-fed events keep byte-identical command text
and no workspace's settings file is rewritten for them. The staleness marker is
quote-free for the matching reason: hooksJson is JSON.stringify'd, so a quoted
needle never matches and the gate would rewrite every workspace on every spawn.
Existing workspaces heal on their next Claude spawn through the staleness sweep.
Every claude session in a directory claude had not seen before died about six
seconds after it started (`Pane is dead (status 1)`), before the agent drew a
composer. Reproduced on a fresh case and measured.
Claude Code 2.1.252 rewrote the dialog. It used to be
❯ 1. Yes, I trust this folder
2. No, exit
and is now unnumbered, reversed, and highlights the option that quits:
❯ No, exit
Yes, I trust this folder
Detection still worked (the confirm affordance carries the match once the
numbered option text is gone), so the failure was entirely in the answer: the
auto-accept pressed Enter on the highlighted default, which is now exit.
trustDialogNextKey() reads the ❯ marker off the rendered pane and returns ONE
keystroke at a time: an arrow while the cursor is on the wrong option, Enter
only once the screen shows it on the trust option, and null for a frame that
does not say. Both layouts are handled, and which way the trust option lies is
read from the frame rather than assumed, so a further reordering costs a
repaint instead of a session. The last marked option wins, because the
direct-PTY fallback reads an append-only buffer where an older frame must not
out-vote the freshest one.
Two things only a live pane showed:
- The scan ran solely from the PTY onData handler. The arrow that moves the
cursor is the last output the pane produces, so the first fix parked every
session with the cursor sitting on the right option and no Enter ever sent.
It now schedules its own follow-up read (_trustDialogTimer, cleared in
_clearAllTimers()), offset past the scan throttle so the chain cannot break
on a boundary.
- The keystroke cap goes 3 -> 6, since answering is no longer one press.
The bundled codeman skill had the same blind \r as its bounded fallback, so
preamble 1.21.0 replaces it with _trust_key/_accept_trust: read
terminal?full=1, steer onto the trust option, re-read, then confirm. Those
keystrokes go out under their own clientId, because input sequence numbers are
monotonic per client and spending prompt numbers on dialog keys would make the
next send-and-wait look like a stale duplicate and vanish while reporting
success. The readiness recipes in docs/extending-codeman.md,
docs/api-reference.md and the skill's own reference carry the corrected answer,
plus a symptom-table entry for a worker whose pane is dead seconds after spawn.
Verified live on an isolated instance (own data dir and tmux socket): fresh
case -> arrow at 5 s -> Enter at 7 s -> composer, with hasTrustDialogAccepted
recorded. With the server-side auto-accept disabled in a throwaway copy, the
skill's fallback cleared a genuinely parked dialog in 1.1 s and spawn_worker
took a brand-new case to a live composer in 7.2 s; spawn_workers + sendwait +
last_text then ran end to end.
findLatestOmpSessionId()'s newest-mtime pin ran eagerly inside
_buildRespawnPaneOptions(), which startInteractive() calls unconditionally
on every boot-recovery reattach — before anything checks whether the pane
is actually dead. With two omp tabs in the same case dir, this could pin
an ALIVE pane's session onto whichever sibling's file happened to be
newest on disk, purely as a side effect of building options that might
never lead to a respawn (reported in Ark0N/Codeman#353 review).
Move resolution out of the eager builder into _pinOmpRespawnId(), called
explicitly only where a respawn is actually confirmed: the dead-pane
branch in _setupOrAttachMuxSession() and reattachRemote(). Add
resolveAndClaimOmpSessionId(), which verifies each candidate's own file
header (cwd) rather than trusting the mangled-directory match alone, and
tracks claimed ids in a process-wide registry so two ambiguous resolutions
can't both pick the same sibling's conversation.
Found live 2026-08-27 by Tim: clicking Run OMP to start a brand-new session
in a case directory with prior omp history launched --resume <old-id>
instead of a clean `omp` invocation.
Root cause: Session._resolvedOmpRespawnConfig() resolves-and-pins the
newest on-disk omp conversation as a side effect on this._ompConfig. That
is correct when reattaching to an ALREADY-TRACKED mux session (a dead-pane
respawn, or a boot-recovery reattach - the constructor sets _muxSession
from persisted state before startInteractive() ever runs there), but it
ran unconditionally. startInteractive() computes
`respawnPaneOptions: this._buildRespawnPaneOptions()` eagerly in the same
object literal that builds `createSessionOptions.ompConfig: this._ompConfig`,
so for a genuinely brand-new session (no muxSession in its create config,
_muxSession still null) the resolve-and-pin side effect ran and poisoned
this._ompConfig before that field was even read.
Fix: gate the resolve-and-pin logic on `this._muxSession` already being
set. A fresh session has no muxSession yet and now passes through
untouched; a real reattach (muxSession present since construction) keeps
resolving and pinning exactly as before.
Verified live in production against the exact reported scenario (a fresh
omp session in a case dir with 8+ hours of prior omp history) - confirmed
both via the API (ompConfig stays empty, claudeSessionId equals the
session's own id) and visually in the GUI. Regression test constructs a
real Session + TmuxManager to exercise the actual private-method
interaction directly, since no existing test called startInteractive() at
all.

Follow-up from a full-branch review pass (Opus) of the omp-mode integration:
- Add pinning tests for resolveOmpConfigForCreate() (session-routes.ts),
exported to make it testable: the exact "resume this OMP row from
history" pipeline that mangleOmpWorkingDir's earlier bug lived in had
zero coverage despite being the resolver module's whole reason to exist.
- Log a warning when findLatestOmpSessionId() finds nothing on disk and
continuation silently degrades to omp's own ambiguous --continue,
in both call sites (session create and respawn pinning) - previously
silent, making the degradation invisible to anyone debugging it.
- Require an absolute cwd before trusting a session file's working
directory in omp-transcript.ts's parser, so a corrupted/malformed
session file can't point a downstream resume at a relative or empty
path.
- Document (don't speculatively fix) an unverified symlinked-$HOME edge
case in mangleOmpWorkingDir(): the review's suggested realpath() fix
assumes omp itself resolves symlinks before mangling, which is
unconfirmed - guessing wrong there would trade one silent mismatch
for a different one.
- Incidental: fixed unrelated pre-existing prettier drift in
session-routes.ts (antigravity/opencode dynamic import line-wrapping)
that was blocking the pre-commit formatting gate on this file.
Confirmed as a non-issue: the model-name regex allowing "/" is
intentional (provider/model ids like "crof/glm-5.2" were used
successfully in live testing).

Two bugs compounded to break continuation pinning on every real OMP
case (only /tmp-based manual testing happened to work by coincidence):
1. startInteractive() had a second, unconditional claudeSessionId
assignment after the mux branch that clobbered its correctly
resolved value back to the session's own id on every mux path.
2. mangleOmpWorkingDir() assumed omp mirrors Claude Code's directory
naming (home prefix kept), but omp actually strips $HOME first.
findLatestOmpSessionId() was silently returning null for every
case under ~/codeman-cases/, so resumeSessionId never resolved for
any real case dir - only /tmp paths (outside $HOME) worked, which
is every dir this feature was previously tested against.
Verified live: killed and relaunched the omp-verify server process
mid-session (plain reattach, pane stayed alive) and confirmed
claudeSessionId now resolves to the real omp transcript uuid instead
of the Codeman session's own id.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude conversations survive "Kill Tmux & Claude" because Codeman reads
them back independently from ~/.claude/projects, not from its own
session bookkeeping. omp conversations had no equivalent: kill the
Codeman session and the conversation vanished from Past Sessions
entirely, even though omp itself never forgot it on disk.
Adds omp-transcript.ts, a scanner over omp's own
~/.omp/agent/sessions/<mangled-cwd>/<uuid>.jsonl files (the same shape
as Claude Code's own transcript scanner, but simpler -- these files are
small enough to read whole instead of doing head/tail windows). Each
file's own "session" header line carries the real cwd and session id
directly, so unlike Claude's mangled-directory-name decoding this
never has to guess. Wired into gatherUnifiedInputs() as a second
history source alongside the Claude scan, and HistoryInput/
mergeUnifiedSessions() now carry an optional `mode` so a non-claude
history-only row still gets a real mode badge.
Also fixes the ambiguity behind the "continue picks the wrong
conversation" report from this session's testing: omp mints its OWN
session uuid, unrelated to Codeman's, so a live/persisted row and its
own history-scan row would otherwise show up as two separate entries
for the same conversation the moment the id gets resolved. Reuses the
existing claudeSessionId alias field (mergeUnifiedSessions' fold-into-
owner mechanism) to point at the resolved omp id, threading it through
every place `_claudeSessionId` gets (re)computed -- the constructor,
_resolvedOmpRespawnConfig, and a new _maybeCaptureOmpSessionId() that
opportunistically resolves it the first time a brand-new omp session
(one that has never gone through a respawn) goes idle.
Also closes a THIRD instance of the "ompConfig never got wired in
here" gap this session kept finding: restoreMuxSessions() in server.ts
restores every sibling CLI's config from persisted state on boot except
omp's, so a boot-recovered omp session always lost its resolved resume
id and fell back to guessing again.
Verified live end-to-end: told a session a secret, killed it fully
(Kill Tmux equivalent, killMux=true -- the Codeman session AND its tmux
pane both gone), and the conversation still showed up in the unified
list as a history-sourced row with the real first prompt as its title
and an omp mode badge, keyed by omp's own session id.
Known remaining gap, not fixed here: the claudeSessionId alias doesn't
yet resolve reliably on every boot-recovery path for a session that
was never respawned while alive (e.g. a plain re-attach to a pane that
was never dead) -- worth a follow-up, but doesn't affect the two things
that matter most: the conversation surviving a kill, and continuation
correctness once an id has been resolved (which happens on the very
next respawn either way).
respawnPane() -- the path used when a session's pane died (crash, idle
respawn, or the user's own /exit) but the Codeman session object is
still tracked -- never had ompConfig wired through at all, in either
its options destructure or its inner buildSpawnCommand() call. This is
a gap in the original OMP patch, distinct from the resumeHistorySession
fix (which only covers a session that has been fully closed and shows
up as a history row): reselecting a tab whose CLI process just exited
goes through this path instead, and always launched a bare, contextless
`omp` no matter what.
Beyond the wiring, respawning a dead pane is semantically different
from creating a brand-new session: the conversation is still "this
session" to the user, so _buildRespawnPaneOptions() now defaults
ompConfig to continueSession:true unless the session already carries
an explicit resumeSessionId (which still wins in buildOmpCommand).
Verified live: told a session a secret, exited OMP so the pane died
(session and tmux both left alone), forced the exact dead-pane-respawn
path, and the new process replied with the secret -- confirming
`omp --continue` fired instead of a blank omp.
`GET /api/sessions/:id/last-response` is how an agent (and the Response
Viewer) reads what a worker said. DeepSeek was falling through to the
pane segmenter with the other external CLIs, which for this mode is not
merely coarse but wrong: dsh-TUI paints a full-screen splash, so a
`last-response` call on a fresh dsh session answered with its ASCII-art
logo -- and anything polling for a worker's first reply reads that as a
reply.
dsh does not belong in that group. It writes a structured JSONL
transcript per session, so read it. Four things in that file shaped the
reader, all measured against real transcripts on disk:
1. dsh appends ONE ZSTD FRAME PER WRITE, and Node's zlib zstd decoder
(one-shot and streaming alike) stops at the first frame end: a real
56-line transcript decoded as 1 line / 158 bytes -- the session header
alone, i.e. a silent truncation that reads as "nothing said yet"
forever. `zstdFrameRanges()` walks frame and block headers to find
exact boundaries; splitting on the 4-byte magic would corrupt
everything after a magic sequence occurring inside compressed data.
zstd is resolved at RUNTIME because it landed in Node 22.15 while the
project floor is 22.0, so an older Node keeps the pane behaviour.
2. Every turn also records a plugin-sourced `user/message` (the runtime
context snapshot), which must not render as the user's own words.
3. A turn that ends in an error carries the provider's message; it is
surfaced as `Turn error: …` (and a non-error early stop as
`Turn ended: …`) rather than as an empty string, which an agent reads
as "still thinking" through fifteen polls.
4. Reply text is assembled per (turn, step): a finalized message wins and
the streamed deltas fill in only for a step that never finalized, so a
partial answer is readable mid-turn and never doubled. "Finalized" is
tracked as a set of steps rather than as non-empty text, because a
step whose whole reply was reasoning strips to '' at the `</think>`
boundary and would otherwise resurrect the raw deltas in its place.
Session-to-transcript pairing is by the transcript's own header `cwd`
plus a boot window against the session's createdAt, never by
reproducing dsh's directory mangling (already two forms on disk) and
never by newest-mtime alone -- mtime alone handed a freshly spawned
worker its predecessor's answer in the same case directory.
An empty result still wins over the pane; only a Node that cannot decode
zstd falls back to it.
Three review findings on the DeepSeek Harness mode, plus one the third exposed.
1. The multi-user clamp was bypassable by a sibling field on the same request.
clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() clamps deepSeekConfig.permissionMode, but
DSH_* is an allowlisted envOverrides prefix and applyEnvOverrides() runs AFTER
_configureDeepSeek(), so a non-granted owner sending
envOverrides.DSH_PERMISSION_MODE landed last and won. Measured on an isolated
instance: a session created with permissionMode "read-only" and that override
ran with DSH_PERMISSION_MODE=danger-full-access in its pane.
Every other CLI's bypass is a command-line flag reachable only through the
per-CLI config, which is why the config clamp alone is the whole gate for
them. clampEnvOverridesForOwner() adds the env-var half: for a non-granted
owner it DROPS DSH_PERMISSION_MODE and DSH_HOME (dropping falls through to
what _configureDeepSeek() exports, i.e. the clamped value). DSH_HOME is on
that list because it aims the launcher at a profile tree whose plugin code
runs at boot, before any approval row can apply. Verified end to end in real
multi-user mode: a non-granted user sending both now gets workspace-write and
no DSH_HOME, while an unrelated DSH_TELEMETRY_MODE passes through untouched.
2. POST /api/deepseek/install-profile could hang forever. spawn's own `timeout`
signals only the direct child, and a plugin install fans out into
package-manager children that keep the inherited stdio pipes open, so `close`
never fires and the held-open request leaks with no route-level deadline.
Reproduced: with a 1.5s built-in timeout the promise was still unsettled after
6s and both fan-out children were alive. Now detached: true plus negative-pid
SIGTERM/SIGKILL, the same escalation runGit() uses for the same reason, with a
last-resort reap for a grandchild that escaped the group. Same probe after the
change: close fires, direct child and both grandchildren dead.
3. hooksAvailableForMode() promised more than a dsh session can deliver.
deepSeekConfig.statusReporting: false disarms the HERDR_* export, and that
triple is the only reason a dsh session posts hook events, so `until=stop` was
accepted and then blocked for the caller's whole timeout: the exact
infinite-wait-dressed-as-a-timeout the predicate exists to prevent. It now
takes HookCapabilityOptions and every call site passes sessionHookOptions(),
with the deepseek arm reading `!== false` so a forgotten one degrades to the
old behaviour. The refusal names the setting rather than saying "no Claude
Code hooks", which would send the caller hunting a bug that is really a
setting they chose. Profile conformance stays unknowable at request time and
is documented as such. The stale "True for `claude` and nothing else" docblock
is corrected.
4. Exposed by (3): hooksAvailableForMode() was doing double duty as "is this a
claude session". Read My Mind (POST /api/sessions/:id/readmymind) and intent
capture read Claude's own transcript, and adding deepseek silently widened
both to a mode that has none. They compare mode === 'claude' directly now, and
a static check pins them there.
Verified: full CI gate green (6132 passed), typecheck/lint/format clean, and the
wait-signal gating exercised against a live server with a real dsh 0.1.1-rc.2 --
bridge off plus explicit until=stop is a 400 naming the setting, bridge off with
no `until` still 200s on idle/exit, bridge on accepts stop.
Adds `mode: 'deepseek'` alongside claude/shell/opencode/codex/gemini/
antigravity/pi/grok, plus a shortcut that opens the harness's own browser UI
as a Codeman web tab.
DeepSeek is wired unlike its siblings in three ways, each of which is the
reason for a design decision rather than an accident:
1. The agent is a PROFILE, not the binary. `dsh` is a launcher over
$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>, and DeepSeek ships only `web`, `headless` and
`base` -- the interactive terminal front door is always a third-party
plugin. So availability is two questions: `isDeepSeekAvailable()` (binary)
and `isDeepSeekRunnable()` (binary AND a pane-capable profile). The Run
button gates on the latter, because reporting only the binary would spawn a
pane that dies on arrival. When the binary is present but no profile is,
the run menu offers to install one (POST /api/deepseek/install-profile).
2. The permission switch is an env var, not a flag. The harness has no
command-line permission option; its sandbox/approval rows read
DSH_PERMISSION_MODE (read-only / workspace-write / danger-full-access).
Exported via `tmux setenv`, never on the spawn line. Absent = the harness's
own workspace-write, which still asks, so the multi-user clamp is the
only-if-sent branch and clamps to workspace-write, never read-only.
3. It is the only non-claude mode that passes hooksAvailableForMode(), and it
earned that. The terminal front door reports idle/working/blocked to a
supervising process over a generic env-gated contract; a generated shim
(deepseek-status-shim.ts) makes Codeman that supervisor and forwards each
report to /api/hook-event as stop / agent_working / permission_prompt. So a
dsh session gets definitive respawn triggers, real wait-endpoint signals and
real Approvals Inbox items instead of output-stabilization guesswork.
`agent_working` is new (157th SSE constant) and joins
APPROVAL_RESOLVING_EVENTS so a dialog answered in the terminal clears its
alert at once.
The resolver needs the strictest identity probe of the family: `dsh` is not
merely a squattable npm name, Debian ships an unrelated `dsh` (dancer's shell),
so `dsh --help` must print the harness's own banner before a candidate is
handed a spawn line.
Model is deliberately not a session field -- it is a composition entry in the
profile's config tree. Env allowlist gains DSH_* and DEEPSEEK_* only; provider
keys named by a settings-file `apiKeyEnv` stay out, which is pi's
34-provider-key problem in a new shape.
Verified live against dsh 0.1.1-rc.2 and @deepseek-harness-tui/dsh-tui: the
status endpoint's two-part answer, the no-profile refusal, the profile
bootstrap, a real session whose pane runs `dsh --profile dsh-tui` with the
permission mode injected via setenv, and the full status bridge -- a
send-and-wait returned signal "stop" from a real turn, and blocked/working
created and cleared an Approvals Inbox item.

SessionMode gains 'grok', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi: its own PTY, tmux
session, charcoal tab identity ('gk' badge), welcome button, run-mode
entry, cron agentType, Docker and remote-SSH command defaults, and
clone-repo Brain option. Flag surface verified live against grok 1.0.5.
Grok mixes two existing shapes and the wiring follows from that:
- Codex-shaped on permissions: the bypass switch is GrokConfig.alwaysApprove
(--always-approve, grok's bypassPermissions mode; config-level deny rules
still apply on top). The Run button sends it true, like runAntigravity(),
and clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() puts grok in the only-if-sent branch:
a bare grok spawn is grok's own ask-mode default, which is already safe,
so only a sent config needs the flag forced off. Cron needs nothing for
the same reason.
- OpenCode-shaped on rendering: grok is a fullscreen alternate-screen TUI
with mouse support, so it stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode() and lands
on the narrow tmux-attach strip and the 'buffer' local-echo fallthrough
(unmeasured against an authenticated composer; documented fallback is the
'off' branch).
- Pi-shaped on resolution: 'grok' has npm squatters (@vibe-kit/grok-cli
also installs a grok bin), so grok-cli-resolver.ts version-probes every
candidate (grok --version, killSignal SIGKILL, VITEST-gated) and
GET /api/grok/status surfaces path AND version; GROK_VERSION_REGEX is
shared with the dependency registry so doctor and run mode cannot drift.
Env allowlist gains GROK_* plus the XAI_* vendor namespace (XAI_API_KEY is
grok's documented headless auth var), the same narrow-vendor reasoning as
GOOGLE_* for gemini. Resume is id-regexed on purpose: grok's own --resume
also matches session titles, which are arbitrary user strings that must
never reach the bash -c spawn line.
Docker: grok is not on npm, so the agent image installs it in its own step
(xAI's installer has no --dir override; the binary is copied to
/usr/local/bin and root's ~/.grok dropped in the same layer), and
credentials are seeded per-file (auth.json, config.toml, pager.toml; the
dir also holds sessions/, memory/ and the ~160MB binary). Remote SSH routes
through the login-shell wrapper like the other agent CLIs.
Verified end to end on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE with grok 1.0.5
installed: /api/grok/status resolves and reports the probed version,
quick-start spawns a pane whose command line ends in 'grok
--always-approve', the real TUI renders (OAuth device screen on an
unauthenticated box), and grokConfig round-trips through state.json.
Docs: docs/grok-integration.md (user guide) + docs/grok-integration-plan.md

Tests: test/grok-mode.test.ts, test/grok-cli-resolver.test.ts, plus

local-echo-gating coverage. npm test (the CI gate) green: 5910 tests.

Found while verifying Auto Copy in a browser: a plain left click in a
claude/codex/gemini pane sent a synthetic SGR mouse report into the PTY
whether or not the program in that pane had ever enabled mouse tracking.
When the pane holds a plain shell (the CLI exited, or a shell was started
inside a session of that mode) readline prints the report as literal text
and it garbles the next line typed:
$ [<0;88;20Mecho hello
bash: 0: No such file or directory
The cause is that the browser could not know. The full strip
(isAltScreenStripMode) removes the mouse DECSETs from the stream, so
xterm's modes.mouseTrackingMode is permanently 'none' for those modes and
_sendSyntheticSgrTap() hand-encodes reports to stand in for xterm's own
encoder. With no state to consult it had to do that on every click.
What the strip removes, the server now remembers.
_recordStrippedMouseMode() records each sequence as it is stripped,
toState() publishes it as cliMouseTracking, and the browser's
_shouldReportMouseToCli() (renamed from _sessionUsesServerMouseStrip)
requires it at all three report sites: the desktop click, the touchend
tap, and the mobile tap classifier.
Details that are easy to get wrong:
* Only the tracking modes count (1000/1001/1002/1003). 1005/1006 select
an encoding and 1007 is alt-scroll; a CLI that picks SGR encoding
without turning tracking on is not asking about clicks, and counting
those would put the stray reports straight back.
* Modes are held in a Set, so a TUI disabling a mode it never enabled
cannot clear the ones that are really on.
* The change broadcasts immediately instead of through
broadcastSessionStateDebounced: the flag flips when a dialog opens, and
the user can click that dialog well inside the 500ms debounce window.
* It fails toward silence. After a server restart the flag is false until
the CLI re-emits its DECSET, which tmux does at client attach.
Verified against a live claude 2.x session: the CLI holds a tracking mode
on continuously, so its clicks are still reported byte for byte as
before, while a bash prompt in the same stripped mode now reports
nothing and types cleanly. The flag also propagates live over SSE in both
directions, checked by toggling ?1002h/?1002l from inside the pane.

Root cause of the reviewer's mass-bump measurement (17 of 17 sessions with an
identical lastActivityAt): every restart restamps all sessions in the
constructor loop, and the boot auto-attach's repaint re-bumps the rest within
the same second. A 12-minute steady-state sample shows NO ambient mass bump,
so restarts are the whole story, and Codeman restarts on every deploy.
The stamp now has a display twin: recovery threads the previous run's
lastActivityAt from state.json into the wire-visible stamp (getter + toState),
and a 15s settle window keeps the attach repaint from overwriting it. Real
actions (input, task assignment, respawn) always write through. The private
stamp keeps its boot-anchored semantics untouched, because the idle
confirmation reads it as how long the pane has been quiet.

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.

SessionMode gains 'pi', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
OpenCode, Codex, Gemini and Antigravity: its own PTY, tmux session, rose
tab identity, welcome button, run-mode entry, cron agentType, Docker and
remote-SSH command defaults, and clone-repo Brain option.
Pi is a different shape of CLI from the other four, and three decisions
follow from that:
- It has NO permission prompts and no sandbox, so there is no
--dangerously-skip-permissions analog and none was invented. The
privilege-shaped knob is the tri-state approveProjectTrust, which makes
pi load and EXECUTE repo-local .pi/extensions TypeScript and install
missing project packages. clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() therefore
puts pi in the MATERIALIZE branch: a non-granted multi-user owner gets
--no-approve even when no config was sent, because pi's own default is
a prompt the session user could answer themselves. That helper had zero
test coverage; it now has coverage for all four CLIs.
- Only the PI_ prefix joins the env allowlist. Pi's ~34 provider key vars
share no prefix and ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES is one global list with no mode
context, so admitting them would widen the allowlist for every mode at
once. Auth goes through pi's /login or the server's own environment.
--api-key is deliberately never wired: it would put a provider secret on
the spawn command line.
- pi stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode(). Its default TUI renders into the
main screen with terminal-owned scrollback, and its 0.84.0 fullscreen
mode is runtime-switchable via /settings; that flip was measured to put
the pane into the alt screen, which the strip would have corrupted.
pi-cli-resolver.ts additionally sanity-probes `pi --version` and requires
semver-shaped output, because `pi` is a short generic name a stray binary
can shadow; GET /api/pi/status surfaces path and version so a
misresolution is diagnosable rather than presenting as a broken mode.
Docker installs pi in its own --ignore-scripts step so that flag cannot
affect the other four CLIs, and seeds its credentials per-file rather than
whole-dir (~/.pi/agent also holds sessions, extensions and package trees).
Verified end to end against pi 0.84.1 on an isolated instance: resolver
search-dir fallback, flag construction, piConfig persistence across a full
server restart, the trust prompt and its --no-approve suppression, the
rose Run button on the default daylight-blue skin (the nested skin block
eats per-mode gradients unless the rule lives inside it), and the buffer
local-echo policy, which pi tolerates where codex did not.

The feature as pitched in docs/readmymind-plan.md: pressing the header
brain button predicts the prompt you were about to type, from the case's
intent profile plus everything the session already knows.
Backend:
- readmymind-context.ts: pure budgeted context assembler (9 ranked
sources: pending approval dialog, user goals, last assistant turn tail,
recent prompts, tool activity, git workspace signals, away context,
sibling sessions, rethink state; 30 KB budget, whole-section drop from
the bottom of the ranking, trust tiers stated in the prompt)
- readmymind-collectors.ts: transcript tail reader (the live watcher
keeps only a 500-char snippet) and git signal collection (execFile,
2s timeout, skipped for remote-SSH cases)
- readmymind-predictor.ts: one-shot claude -p in a throwaway tmux
session, opus by default (readMyMindModel setting), strict JSON
contract with 1-3 suggestions (continue / verify / redirect), newline
stripping, 90s timeout; mutable singleton so route tests can stub it
- POST /api/sessions/:id/readmymind: claude-mode only (400), one
prediction in flight per session (409 CONFLICT), rethink body
{ steer, rejected }; ownership via findSessionOrFail
Frontend:
- readmymind-ui.js (loadorder 11.3): header brain button, marker-hidden
until readMyMindEnabled is ON, desktop only (phone key is phase 3);
modal with editable suggestion + rationale and Send / Insert /
Rethink / Dismiss; suggestion text rendered via value/textContent only
and nothing ever auto-sends
- App Settings -> Panels checkbox for readMyMindEnabled; en + zh-CN
strings
Verified end to end against a live isolated instance: transcript
capture, a real opus prediction grounded in the stated goals, rethink
steering, the 409, and the browser modal incl. Insert leaving the text
unsubmitted on the composer. 41 new unit/route tests; full test:ci
sweep green (4680 tests).

Adds an exact-key tier (ALLOWED_ENV_KEYS) beside ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES in
schemas.ts, admitting CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR so a case can run on a separate
Claude subscription (client-billed accounts). Exact match only: other
CLAUDE_* keys and near-misses like CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR_EXTRA stay rejected,
blocked keys stay blocked. The key also survives getEnvOverridesForPersist()
(a path, not a secret; dropping it would silently switch a rebuilt session
back to the default account after a reboot).
Docs cover the transcript caveat: a relocated config dir writes transcripts
outside ~/.claude/projects, so response viewer / subagent windows /
ultracode / Read My Mind go blind for that session unless projects is
symlinked back into the shared tree.
Design and spec contributed by @jordan8037310 in #255. Closes#255.

A session on a fresh directory sat on Claude's "Quick safety check: Is
this a project you created or one you trust?" dialog until a human
pressed Enter. Reproduced on a new case, then read off the wire:
1.\x1b[C Yes,\x1b[C I\x1b[C trust\x1b[C this\x1b[C folder
tmux repaints a row by writing each word followed by a cursor-forward
escape instead of a space, and Ink colours each word separately, so
`data.includes('trust this folder')` could never match a chunk. The
spaces are not there to strip: they were never sent. The auto-accept has
been dead for every session that hit the dialog.
Match on whitespace-free, ANSI-free, lowercased text instead
(`compactScreenText`), which survives both that repaint style and the
spaced full-screen redraw.
Answering means pressing Enter into a session, so three guards bound it:
- Read the RENDERED SCREEN (capturePaneText), not the chunk. The terminal
buffer is append-only and keeps the dialog in its tail long after it
has been answered, so a retry driven off the buffer would type into a
live session. Direct-PTY sessions, which have no pane, fall back to a
short buffer tail.
- Require a trust phrase AND the dialog's own confirm affordance. One
phrase is not enough, since an agent's transcript can quote it.
- Only look during the first 90s of the pane's life, and cap it at three
attempts. Ink can drop a keystroke while it is still mounting the
widget, which is the other half of why sessions got stuck, but a
dialog that will not clear must not become an Enter loop.
Verified end to end on a fresh case: dialog answered on attempt 1, one
Enter sent in total, session went straight to the composer and answered a
prompt. Before the fix the same flow parked on the dialog indefinitely.

Every working Claude session reported `status: "idle"` about two seconds
into its turn. Measured on live workers: two sessions mid-tool-call at 13
and 17 minutes both read `idle` while their panes showed
`✻ Actualizing… (13m 23s · ↓ 47.5k tokens)`.
Two things had drifted apart:
1. The working indicator changed. Claude animates the glyph through
`· ✢ ✳ ∗ ✻ ✽` and randomizes the gerund per turn, so neither
SPINNER_PATTERN (braille, no longer drawn) nor the keyword list
(Thinking/Writing/Reading/Running) matches a turn anymore.
2. A `❯` sighting is not the end of a turn. Claude redraws the composer
roughly once a second all the way through one, and that redraw armed
the "2s later, call it idle" timer.
Matching the new status line in the STREAM does not fix it either: tmux
ships partial repaints, so the complete line reached the PTY about once
every 20 seconds while the `❯` arrived every second.
So the decision moves off the stream:
- An unbroken run of repaints marks a turn as started. Sampled once a
second for 12s over six live sessions, the two working ones produced
output in 12/12 windows and the four idle ones in 0/12. Pure helpers in
session-activity.ts carry the thresholds.
- Idle now needs the pane to go quiet AND the screen to agree.
`_confirmIdle()` asks tmux what is rendered (new `capturePaneText()`,
one plain `capture-pane`, floored at 1.5s per session and only ever at
a transition) and re-checks every 5s while the screen still shows work.
A turn can sit silent for tens of seconds inside one tool call, so
silence alone proves nothing.
- The same screen check vetoes keystroke echo, which is a steady stream
of repaints too but is not work.
CLAUDE_WORKING_LINE_PATTERN matches the `… (elapsed)` shape rather than
the glyph, because the FINISHED line (`✻ Cooked for 2m 49s`) carries the
same glyph and would otherwise pin a session at working forever.
Claude mode only. An external CLI has no `❯`, so nothing would arm the
confirmation and such a session would latch busy.
respawn-patterns.hasWorkingPattern() had the same blind spot (its gerund
list cannot see "Actualizing"), so it takes the pattern as an extra
signal. That can only make respawn less eager, never more.
Idle now lands about 3 to 5 seconds after a turn ends instead of 2
seconds into one. Verified end to end against a live worker, sampled
against the CLI's own "esc to interrupt" footer as independent ground
truth: busy for all 25s of a turn, idle 3s after it ended.

Version-gated fail-closed at 2.1.224 (the cross-session-messaging release,
flag presence verified against that binary): an unknown or older CLI yields
a spawn command byte-identical to before, because claude aborts startup on
an unknown option and that would kill every session spawn. The value is
allowlist-sanitized ahead of the double-quoted interpolation, and only the
local command carries the flag; docker/remote builders never see it since
their CLI is not the probed binary. Verified E2E on an isolated instance:
cmdline shows --name, ListAgents lists the session name, replies arrive
tagged from-name.

Cosmetic, but the kind that quietly costs: JSDoc tooling attaches only the
nearest block, so a stacked second block silently hides the first.
- write() had two: the original description with @param and @example, then a
@returns-only block added on top, which dropped the params and examples from
hover. Merged into one. The @returns wording is also honest now — write() still
discards the data without a PTY; what changed is that it says so.
- forgetInputSeq had been inserted BETWEEN shouldApplyInput's detailed doc comment
and its declaration, leaving that function undocumented on hover and the doc
attached to the wrong thing. Moved below.
- The mock kept an orphaned one-line comment above failWrites' own block.

Remote Claude sessions were the one backend left relying on the
startup-banner scrape for cliVersion (the unreliable path #154 was filed
for: newer Claude Code builds print no banner and resumed sessions never
do), so wheel/touch forwarding silently stayed off for them. Mirror the
docker approach: a deferred best-effort probe at session start, running
claude --version on the remote host through the same
buildSshConnectionArgs + login-shell wrapper as the real launch, parsing
the first semver in stdout (an interactive login shell may echo rc-file
noise around it).

Four fixes for the scrollback reports in #205 (plus its follow-up comment).
1. tmux-backed shell/opencode/antigravity sessions were parked in xterm's
ALTERNATE buffer for their whole life. The tmux CLIENT emits smcup
(\x1b[?1049h) as its first bytes on attach, and the existing strip is gated
to claude/codex/gemini, so it reached the browser verbatim. In the alternate
buffer baseY is pinned at 0 (no scrollback, so touch scrolling is a no-op)
and xterm's own wheel handler translates the wheel into \x1bOA cursor keys,
which readline receives as shell history navigation. Both reported symptoms,
one sequence. isMuxAltScreenOnlyStripMode() now strips that toggle for those
modes, but ONLY under tmux (the direct-PTY fallback still needs a program's
own alt screen) and ONLY the alt-screen toggle: 3J from a user's `clear` and
the mouse DECSETs a pane's htop/vim rely on are left alone. Safe because tmux
never forwards a pane's alt-screen toggles to its client, it repaints;
captured from a real attach, vim/less/htop emit zero.
2. "Load more history" on scroll-to-top. xterm's buffer is only ever a window
onto tmux's history, and tmux repaints the pane rectangle instead of emitting
linefeeds whenever output outpaces its flush, OVERWRITING already-rendered
scrollback. Measured: a 60-line burst added 1 row and destroyed 34, while the
same 60 lines emitted slowly added all 60. Scrolling up at the top now
re-pulls the full tmux scrollback and holds the user's place. Verified
end to end: 42 rendered rows -> 213, recovering all 150+60 printed lines.
3. The full-scrollback replay was gated on a single "first load after page load"
flag, which whichever session auto-selected consumed, so every other tab
started with one visible frame. Now tracked per session.
4. _wheelScrollLines ignored ev.deltaMode, so Firefox (DOM_DELTA_LINE, deltaY 3
per notch) scrolled one line where Chrome scrolls four or five, and capped
the forwarded SGR report at one tick. Line and page deltas are now converted,
and a pure horizontal swipe no longer falls through to a phantom -1.
Analysis and measurements: docs/scrollback-issues-analysis.md
Both input paths recorded the (clientId, seq) pair as applied and acknowledged the
frame BEFORE knowing whether the write had landed: the POST route because its mux
write is fire-and-forget so the response never waits on a tmux child, the
WebSocket handler because it ACKed unconditionally.
When the write then failed, the client dropped the frame from its durable queue
and the server rejected the retry as a duplicate. The reliable-delivery layer was
guaranteeing exactly-once delivery of something that had never been delivered —
and `Session.write()` returned void, so a session whose PTY was gone swallowed the
data with no signal at all.
- `forgetInputSeq()` rolls the bookkeeping back on failure, but only when that seq
is still the newest one; a later input has superseded it and must not re-open.
- The WebSocket handler withholds its ACK when the write did not land, so the
client redelivers.
- `Session.write()` reports whether it reached a PTY.
Response codes are unchanged, deliberately: a session can legitimately have no PTY
yet, and turning that into a failure status would be a contract change of its own.
What this does NOT do: remove the root cause. The POST still answers 200 before
the mux write is attempted, so a client that treats any 2xx as final cannot learn
about that failure. What closes is the narrower window — the write failed AND the
ACK never reached the client — plus the whole WebSocket path. Closing the rest
would mean awaiting the tmux child inside the request.
9 tests. They drive the HTTP route, not only the Session primitives: with the
rollback removed from the route, 2 of them fail.

Release 1.9.8 (aicodeman) and 0.1.8 (xterm-zerolag-input).
Fixes macOS session start (`posix_spawnp failed.`, issues #6 and #204):
node-pty ships its macOS spawn-helper as mode 0644 and macOS launches every
PTY through it. `scripts/fix-node-pty.mjs` (npm run fix:node-pty) chmods every
helper, prebuilds/ included, then verifies by really opening a PTY; the blind
Node-22+ rebuild is gone. `spawnPtyWithHelperRepair()` self-heals an already
broken install on the first failed spawn.
Adds the phone home screen (session overview under 430px, per-device
`mobileOverviewEnabled`, default ON) and a guided Tailscale path in
install.sh, plus `install.sh tailscale` to retrofit it.

Adds Antigravity as a sixth CLI backend alongside Claude Code, shell, OpenCode,
Codex and Gemini, following the existing pluggable-resolver pattern.
- `utils/antigravity-cli-resolver.ts` resolves the CLI, mirroring the other
resolvers; `GET /api/antigravity/status` reports availability and path.
- `ANTIGRAVITY_*` joins the `ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES` allowlist in schemas.ts, so
env overrides stay CLI-scoped rather than blanket-forwarded.
- Session, tmux-manager, mux-interface and types carry the new mode; secrets are
injected via socket-scoped `tmux setenv`, never on the spawn command line, so
the mode requires tmux with no direct PTY fallback like the other external CLIs.
- Frontend: Run-dropdown entry, agent-type option, `ag` tab badge and toolbar
colours. `runAntigravity()` routes remote/docker cases through
`POST /api/quick-start` and skips the local status probe for them.
Tests: test/antigravity-mode.test.ts, plus run-mode-ui and system-routes coverage.

start() reassigns _claudeSessionId to `resumeSessionId || id` on every launch,
including the path that re-attaches to a mux session that outlived the restart.
A pane whose CLI had moved on via /clear therefore came back pointing the
response viewer at its pre-/clear transcript, and because Session.lastSubmitAt
lived only in memory, the history correlation had nothing to correct it with
until the user happened to type again — observed as hours of the eye showing a
conversation the pane had long since left.
Persist lastSubmitAt in SessionState, restore it in restoreMuxSessions(), and
flush it when the viewer adopts (a /clear emits no completion event, which is
the trigger that would otherwise have persisted it). Recovered panes now
re-derive their live conversation on the viewer's first poll.
Restoring a stale anchor is safe: the resolver already refuses a candidate
transcript older than the one the pane is currently on, which is the shape of a
respawn into a fresh conversation.
The viewer re-derived a pane's live conversation from the newest
~/.claude/history.jsonl entry for the pane's cwd. A cwd is shared with every
other Codeman tab on it, with tabs long since closed, and with any plain
`claude` the user runs in their own terminal, so the eye followed whichever of
those was typed into last — and since the match was written back through
adoptClaudeSessionId(), the mispin stuck.
Credit a history entry to a pane only when it lands within 10s of that pane's
own Enter and no other pane on the same cwd submitted closer, reusing the
last-submit correlation the Codex locator already relies on. Submit tracking
moves from _codexLastSubmitAt to a mode-agnostic Session.lastSubmitAt. With no
correlated entry the pane keeps the id it has: a viewer one turn behind beats a
viewer showing someone else's conversation.

Follow-ups from the PR #175/#176 reviews:
- Rewake helper self-terminates on its own 6h deadline and when orphaned,
instead of relying on Claude Code to reap the poller
- Rewake marker versioned (V2) with a version-agnostic ownership prefix, so
future script updates replace older handlers instead of duplicating them;
regression test covers the V1 to V2 swap
- HOOK_TIMEOUT_MS renamed to HOOK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS = 10: the hook timeout
field is seconds (the CLI multiplies by 1000), so the curl hooks have
effectively had a ~2.8h timeout since COD-54
- Test echo PTY switches to raw mode: each input byte echoes exactly once
(tty line discipline doubled every line and buffered until Enter)
- test/setup.ts: drain in-flight console-log rpc forwards before environment
teardown (fixes the EnvironmentTeardownError that failed CI twice on the
merge commit with all 3820 tests passing), clean the temp home on process
exit (fully-skipped files leaked it), fix the Windows Playwright cache
fallback path
- test/webview-proxy.test.ts: stop naming the vitest environment directive in
prose; vitest matches it inside comments and silently ran the whole file
under the jsdom environment while the comment claimed node
- CLAUDE.md: document the temp-HOME and echo-PTY test isolation
