The badge alone left the row in NEEDS YOU, which is the thing the issue was
about. The fix is the alert that does not fire.
An idle prompt from a session that is watching its own background work now
opens ALREADY acknowledged. `hook-event-routes` passes `Session.watching` to
`notePrompt()`, which sets `acknowledgedAt` and records why in a new
`acknowledgedReason`. Nothing new suppresses anything: `acknowledge()` has
always meant "the alert this prompt armed is spent", and the prompt itself
stays pending, answerable and available as Read My Mind context. A wrong label
therefore costs a card that does not blink, never an alert that was never
created.
Every surface follows from that. The broadcast carries the reason, so a live
page declines to arm the tab alert and raises no desktop notification. The push
is skipped, since a false alarm is hardest to ignore on a phone. A reloading
page reads `acknowledgedAt` in `seedApprovals()`, which it already did. And
`classifySession()` now reads it too, which is a pre-existing bug fixed here:
acknowledging on one device cleared the alert everywhere except `codeman tui`.
It re-arms for free, because the next idle prompt supersedes the item and is
built fresh. Only `idle` is eligible, so a dialog that blocks the agent still
goes red whatever else it started.
The label is pane-derived and therefore prompt-injectable, so it is now read
from the last two rows of the screen only, with Claude's pattern anchored on
the `·` its footer joins items with, ANSI-stripped and length-capped at the
source. An agent that prints `· 1 monitor ·` into its own output finds no
match.
Verified on an isolated beta: a session that armed a monitor took its idle
prompt acknowledged with no alert on any surface, wore the badge, and showed
"quiet, watching 1 monitor" on its still-answerable card; the same session with
the monitor killed alerted normally on the next prompt. `test/watching-no-alert.test.ts`
pins both directions across all four surfaces.

#367 (UserPromptSubmit hook): `hook:prompt_submitted` went on the wire
unregistered; it is now in both SSE registries (158 = 158), and the hook only
lands in the run summary when the conversation actually moved, since one row
per prompt would evict useful rows from the 1000-event FIFO and clutter the
Summary timeline and /api/search.
#368 (Add Case header submit): the pending-state dimming targeted the footer
button, which the <=860px layout hides, so on a phone the only visible submit
control stayed at full brightness while a clone ran. The header button now
dims too, and a static test pins the header-submit contract so it cannot
silently disappear again.

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.
Fifteen review findings on the dsh mode, the serious ones first:
- Multi-user: DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL joins the owner-clamped env keys.
_configureDeepSeek() forwards the SERVER's own DEEPSEEK_API_KEY into
every dsh pane and applyEnvOverrides() lands after it, so a non-granted
owner who could redirect the base URL would have the operator's key sent
as a bearer credential to a host of their choosing.
- Wait registry: until=stop/blocked is refused on docker and remote-SSH
dsh sessions (new deepSeekBridgeUnreachable fact in sessionHookOptions).
The HERDR triple is set via LOCAL tmux setenv, which crosses neither
docker exec nor ssh, so such a session can never post a hook event and
the wait burned its whole timeout on every turn.
- Approvals: a dsh item is an ALERT, not an answerable card. The answer
route refuses (the '1'/Esc keystrokes are Claude-dialog-shaped and the
option parser cannot read a third-party TUI's frames, so an answer was a
blind keystroke into a foreign composer), and the push notification
carries no Approve/Deny actions for dsh sessions.
- Status shim (v3): --seq is forwarded and the server drops stale retried
reports inside a 60s window (the TUI retries with backoff, so a retried
'working' could land after 'blocked' and resolve an approval whose
dialog was still on screen); 4xx responses exit 0 instead of retrying,
so one misconfigured session cannot feed the auth rate-limit bucket
until the hook endpoint 429s for the whole instance.
- Web-UI server: concurrent starts are serialized through a lock (two
racing POSTs used to pick the same port and orphan the winner), and the
readiness poll / timeout paths only clear or stop the singleton while it
is still theirs. First click actually opens the tab now
(refreshWebviews, not the nonexistent loadWebviews). DELETE
/api/deepseek/web requires the privileged grant in multi-user mode.
- Cron: deepseek jobs run the same two-part launch gate as the HTTP
create paths (impl moved into the resolver so all three share it) and no
longer stamp a Claude default model on the session.
- Parity sweeps: quick-start's docker branch rejects deepSeekConfig like
the remote branch; the Ralph auto-enable list gained deepseek;
HookEventType gained agent_working; the phone overview run menu filters
managed webview records like the desktop menu.
- install.sh: the dsh identity probe closes stdin (under curl|bash a
child that reads stdin eats the rest of the script), bounds the exec
with timeout where available, and is memoized to one scan per install.
- Welcome screen: .welcome-btn-deepseek styled in the #4d6bfe brand
identity (it rendered as an unstyled UA-grey button); stale markup
comment about the web shortcut rewritten; clamp docs updated.

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.

Three follow-ups from the 1.19.0 review of the activity-ordered home screens:
- Hook events now ride the same debounced session state broadcast the
working/idle handlers use. The blocked group ranks on lastActivityAt, and
without this a permission prompt raised after page load kept ranking by
whatever stamp the browser loaded with.
- A working row with no submit stamp now shows the lastActivityAt fallback
its sort anchor already uses: a row must never be ranked by a number it
does not display.
- Alt+digit resolves through the live-session projection the render paints
(sessionOrder minus dead ids), so a stale id cannot shift every painted
number off its target, web tabs included. New tests pin both surfaces to
one shared order and the numbering to the live projection.

Permission dialogs, AskUserQuestion questions and idle prompts from every
session now land in a server-side inbox (web/approval-inbox.ts, one item per
session, claude-mode only) and are answerable in place: a header bell + drawer
on desktop, inline answer strips on the phone overview's NEEDS YOU rows, and
working push Approve/Deny buttons (previously dead ends, now answered straight
from sw.js with no tab open). Pending alerts survive reloads because the
frontend seeds from GET /api/approvals on init.
Answering sends the digit / Esc / prompt text through the existing tmux input
path; option digits are accepted only when they match options parsed from the
captured pane frame, and the answer path re-captures the pane first so a
dialog that already left the screen refuses with 409 instead of typing into
the composer. New elicitation_complete / elicitation_response hook matchers
resolve question items the moment they are answered in the terminal;
refreshStaleCodemanHooks heals existing cases.
Verified end-to-end against a live claude session: a real AskUserQuestion
dialog parsed into 5 option buttons and was answered from the drawer.

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.

Interactive Claude CLI never emits session_id on stdout, so the
Session's _claudeSessionId stayed pinned to the pre-/clear jsonl and
the last-response viewer kept showing the old conversation.
Two complementary update paths:
- Session.adoptClaudeSessionId() — public setter mirroring the existing
no-op-if-same guard. Called from POST /api/hook-event when Claude Code
hooks carry data.session_id (works once hooks are configured).
- /api/sessions/:id/last-response now resolves the active id from
~/.claude/history.jsonl before reading the transcript. This is the
only source-of-truth that does not require hooks, and we intentionally
don't write hooks into arbitrary user repos.
History scan filters out sessionIds held by other Codeman sessions in
the same cwd, and validates via jsonl mtime to avoid inheriting a dead
prior session's id.
