The web server now persists all per-session settings (name, mode,
auto-compact, auto-clear, respawn config, ralph state, tokens, cost)
to state.json so the CLI status/session commands can display them.
Also removes unused pendingStepConfirm property from respawn controller.

- Add isError() type guard to check if value is Error instance
- Add getErrorMessage() utility for safe error message extraction
in catch blocks (handles TypeScript 4.4+ unknown error type)
- Replace all (err as Error).message patterns with getErrorMessage(err)
across server.ts, cli.ts, ralph-loop.ts, and screen-manager.ts
- Follows TypeScript best practice of treating caught errors as unknown
This improves code safety by properly handling the case where caught
values may not be Error instances (e.g., thrown strings or objects).

TUI now checks if web server is running on startup and offers to start
it in the background. Added new CLI options: --with-web (auto-start),
--no-web (skip check), -p (port).
TUI feature parity with web interface:
- Shell mode: press 'h' in cases view to start bash instead of Claude
- Multi-start: press 'm' to start 1-20 sessions at once
- Respawn toggle: Ctrl+R to enable/disable respawn on Claude sessions
- Session rename: API support via useSessionManager hook
Security fixes from previous analysis:
- Command injection prevention in screen-manager.ts
- Path traversal protection in server.ts
- Input validation for shell-interpolated values
Also fixes memory leak in session.ts (timer tracking) and flaky test
timeout in session-cleanup.test.ts.

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>
- Todo items: checkbox format, indicator icons, status parentheses
- 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

- 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.

- 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)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
