Expand ANSI regex to match all escape sequences (cursor movement,
color codes, etc.) not just color codes. This fixes todo content
having residual escape sequences like cursor movements.

Add polished, animated Ralph Wiggum Loop panel with:
- Circular progress ring showing task completion percentage
- Task cards with status indicators (pending/in-progress/completed)
- Animated status badge with pulsing indicator when active
- Completion celebration animation with animated checkmark
- Smart time formatting ("1h 23m" instead of "1.38 hours")
Enhanced detection patterns based on official Ralph plugin:

Document the critical finding that text and Enter key must be sent
as separate screen -X stuff commands for Ink to process correctly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Claude CLI (Ink) doesn't process carriage return correctly when sent
together with text via screen -X stuff. Splitting into two separate
commands works reliably:
1. screen -X stuff "text"
2. screen -X stuff "$(printf '\015')"
Also adds writeViaScreen() method to Session for programmatic input
that bypasses PTY and uses screen -X stuff directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bash $'...' escaping wasn't reliably sending carriage return to
Ink/Claude CLI. Using printf with octal '\015' works correctly.
Tested: screen -X stuff "$(printf 'text\015')" successfully triggers
Enter key submission in Claude CLI.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Regular user input should go through PTY, only respawn controller
should use screen -X stuff. Added writeViaScreen() method for
programmatic input that needs reliable Enter key delivery.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
When writing to an attached PTY connected to screen, the input doesn't
reliably reach Claude CLI. This fix uses `screen -X stuff` command to
send input directly to the screen session, bypassing the PTY attachment.
Research findings:
- Claude CLI uses Ink (React for CLI) for terminal UI
- Ink's parseKeypress detects \r as key.return (Enter)
- screen -X stuff with $'...' syntax reliably sends literal characters
Changes:
- Add ScreenManager.sendInput() using screen -X stuff
- Modify Session.write() to prefer screen -X stuff when available
- Keep \r as Enter key (what Ink expects for key.return)

Screen sessions require \n (line feed) for Enter key input, not \r
(carriage return). This fixes the issue where respawn prompts would
appear in the terminal but not be submitted.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Changed all command writes from \n (newline) to \r (carriage return).
PTY terminals expect \r for Enter key, \n only creates a new line
without executing the command.

The respawn controller was calling removeAllListeners('terminal')
which also removed the server's listener that streams output to
the browser. This made the console appear "blocked" when respawn
was enabled.
Now properly tracks and removes only its own listener.

- Fixed respawn controller immediately sending commands when Claude
becomes idle, which prevented users from typing. Now waits for
idleTimeoutMs (default 10s) before triggering the respawn cycle.

Replace the simple number input for respawn duration with a preset
button group (30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h, ∞, Custom). Move duration to be
the first option in the Respawn Controller settings.
- Add duration preset buttons with visual highlighting for selection
- ∞ (unlimited) is selected by default
- Custom option reveals a number input for arbitrary values
- Reset to default when modal opens

Add InnerLoopTracker to detect and expose internal Claude Code state
running inside claudeman sessions by parsing terminal output patterns.
Detection patterns:
- Completion phrases: <promise>PHRASE</promise>

- Loop status: cycle counts, elapsed time, start/completion
New features:
- Inner state panel UI (collapsible, below session tabs)
- SSE events: innerLoopUpdate, innerTodoUpdate, innerCompletionDetected
- API endpoint: GET /api/sessions/:id/inner-state
- State persistence to ~/.claudeman/state-inner.json

Kickstart Prompt:
- Remove Idle Timeout setting from respawn UI (uses 10s default)
- Add Kickstart Prompt field sent when /init doesn't trigger work
- New states: monitoring_init, sending_kickstart, waiting_kickstart
- Monitors 3s after /init to detect if Claude started working
Auto-Compact Context:
- Add auto-compact at 110k tokens (sends /compact with optional prompt)
- Preserves summarized context unlike /clear which wipes everything
- Optional focus prompt to guide what compact should preserve
- Blocks auto-clear while compacting to prevent conflicts
Also updates auto-clear default threshold from 100k to 140k tokens.

- Primary: Use '↵ send' indicator for immediate response when ready
- Fallback: Use timeout-based detection for prompt patterns
- Add working indicators: Synthesizing, Brewing, ✻, ✽
- Cleaner step completion handlers (checkUpdateComplete, etc.)
The hybrid approach responds immediately when Claude shows the
suggestion indicator, while still having timeout fallback for
reliability.

- killScreen now uses 4 strategies for reliable cleanup:
1. Kill all child processes recursively (SIGTERM then SIGKILL)
2. Kill entire process group (-PID) to catch orphans
3. Kill screen by name (screen -X quit)
4. Direct SIGKILL as final fallback
- Refresh screen PID from screen -ls before killing (handles stale PIDs)
- reconcileScreens now discovers unknown claudeman screens from screen -ls
This prevents "ghost" screens that persist after screens.json is lost
- restoreScreenSessions handles newly discovered screens
The rapid session creation test now fails because discovery is working -
it finds screens that weren't killed fast enough (test timing issue)

When switching between Claude session tabs, the terminal buffer was
rendered at a different size than the current terminal. This caused
Claude's banner to appear squished/corrupted.
Changes:
- Remove ANSI regex stripping that was breaking terminal output
- Send Ctrl+L after resize to trigger Claude CLI to redraw at correct size
- Only send Ctrl+L for Claude sessions, not shell sessions

GNU screen creates blank space at the top when initializing sessions.
