Rounak DattaandClaude Opus 5 abf1d1f1ca fix(terminal): the PTY and the browser terminal must never disagree about size
Issue #464, "text gets muffled sometimes, in both TUI default and fullscreen".
The screenshot is not a dropped frame or a frozen renderer — it is arithmetic.
Claude Code's TUI wraps its frame at the width the PTY reported and erases the
previous frame by walking the cursor up the rows it believes that frame took. A
browser terminal of a different width makes each logical line occupy more
physical rows than Ink counted, so `eraseLines(n)` clears too few and the new
frame paints over rows nothing erased: doubled lines, and short tool summaries
sitting inside longer prose rows with the prose's tail still visible.

Reproduced against this repo's own xterm before changing anything — a 120-column
PTY against a 62-column terminal renders every wrapped line twice. `test/
terminal-pty-geometry.test.ts` pins that, and pins the clean render at matching
widths beside it, so the assertion cannot be satisfied by code that fixes
nothing.

Four ways the two drifted apart, none of them observable from either end:

1. `fitAddon.fit()` resizes xterm to `proposeDimensions()` RAW while every
   server-facing path reported those floored at 40x10. Measured in Chrome at
   430px: font size 44 proposed 13 columns, the server was told 40, and xterm
   stayed at 13. Three call sites each did their own fit-then-floor, and two
   re-read the proposal after the fit — `_shrinkPaddingToFit()` runs exactly
   there, so the container had moved.
2. `throttledResize` (keyboard up) and `sendResize` (session detached into its
   own window) reflowed locally and withheld only the SIGWINCH. That is the one
   combination that cannot be right: a reflow nothing is rendering for buys
   nothing and costs correctness. Both now withhold everything, and the
   keyboard's settle timer still sends the one resize that stops the PTY going
   stale.
3. `setFontSize`/`setFontFamily`/`setFontWeight` move the cell size — a geometry
   change — and told the server nothing at all, so raising the font on a phone
   left the CLI wrapping at the old column count.
4. `Session.resize` DECLINES a small-viewport request while a desktop connection
   holds an active sizing claim, and said nothing, because resize was write-only.

`syncTerminalGeometry()` is now the one function that may change the terminal's
size: it fits, floors and applies as a single step, so the numbers xterm holds
are the numbers the server is told. A test sweeps every module for a bare
`fit()` on the main terminal, and finds exactly one — the owner's own.

For (4) the client cannot win, so it is told the truth instead: both transports
answer a resize with `session.ptyCols`/`ptyRows` (`{"t":"zc"}` on the socket,
the body of the resize POST) and `_onPtyGeometryReport` adopts them. A terminal
that keeps a shape the PTY refused does not render "too narrow", it renders
garbled. Adopting can leave the pane wider than the screen and the container is
`overflow: hidden`, so `.pty-oversized` grants horizontal reach for exactly as
long as the mismatch lasts: correct-and-reachable beats correct-and-clipped
beats garbled. That rule sets both overflow axes and its own `touch-action`
because mobile.css loads later and sets `.terminal-container { overflow:
visible; touch-action: none }` — a bare `overflow-x` would leave overflow-y
computing to `auto` and hand the browser a vertical scroll container the
terminal's touch handler knows nothing about.

Verified in Chrome at 430px against a live server, with a desktop client holding
the claim: the phone adopts 198x43, gets `overflow-x: auto` / `overflow-y:
hidden` / `touch-action: pan-x`, 758px of reach to the right, and keeps its own
vertical scrolling. The pre-fix build was measured in the same harness for the
control.

Two things this deliberately does not do. It does not change who owns the pane
size — the desktop still wins, and `_startMobileResizeRetry` still takes it back
once that goes idle. And `throttledResize` still holds the PTY's shape for the
whole keyboard animation rather than sending a SIGWINCH per step; that decision
predates this and was not re-tested here.

Also in this commit, Ark0N's third-pass review items on #431:

- The response viewer's byte-buffer fallback and `_onSessionClearTerminal` both
  used the no-param `/terminal` form, capped only by `terminalBufferMaxBytes`
  (32MB) — the largest body the frontend asks for anywhere. One carried no
  deadline at all and the other got the 15s tail budget. Both now take the
  full-history budget.
- A `?full=1` capture that outruns its deadline falls back to the bounded tail.
  The pane is blanked before that fetch, so an abort used to leave a black
  rectangle, discard the queued live output and never reach `_connectWs`. A
  failed load now still opens the socket, says one dim line where the content
  would have been, and clears the tab's spinner — which nothing did, so a failed
  select left `aria-busy="true"` set forever.
- `_wsOutputGapSession` is cleared at the repaint that settles it, not in a
  `finally` that also ran on the catch. A reconcile that threw, or hit the new
  deadline — the flaky link the marker exists for — dropped the gap with nothing
  to retry it. `ws.onopen` no longer clears it up front either.
- The replay-clear invariant is pinned in the gate, which is the drift this PR
  exists to fix: `_resetTerminalForReplay` must be a queued write and nothing
  else, and no module may blank the terminal with a `clear()+reset()` pair.
- `DIAG_ENTRY_MAX_CHARS` replaces the hardcoded 300, bound through a local
  first: `CodemanDiag?.x` still throws a ReferenceError when the identifier was
  never declared, and that is the one function in the app that must not throw.
- panels-ui's two kill-all clears route through the same helper, and the
  xterm-version guard's comment says "resolved lockfile version" rather than
  "dependency RANGE", which is what it has pinned since the last round.

Codeman maintainer 33f77c4680 fix(tabs): review fixes for the detailed rail — width-dialog default, compact wrap pass, rich-aware resets
Three review findings on the detailed-rows feature, all in its edge cases:

- The App Settings width select consulted the handheld defaults blob
  (tabRailWidth: 256) BEFORE the rich-aware default, which the renderer
  never reads — so a tablet's unsized rich rail rendered 320 while the
  dialog said 256, and a routine Save persisted the 256 (below the 288px
  tight threshold, permanently). The chain now mirrors
  applyTabRailWidth()'s actual resolution.

- _setTabRailWidth() re-rendered on a compact flip but never re-ran
  applyTabWrapSettings(), the one owner of the folder line, whose railRich
  input reads the compact class this function just toggled. A rich rail
  dragged below 240px kept emitting folder rows — persistently, for a
  stored width < 240, since the boot wrap pass runs before the class is
  first applied. The wrap pass now re-runs on the flip, with exactly one
  render either way.

- Both reset affordances (handle dblclick, Enter on the handle) reset to
  the hardcoded 256 even on a rich rail, landing it below the tight
  threshold; both now resolve the rich-aware default (320), via a new
  optional defaultWidth input on resolveTabRailKeyboardWidth().

Codeman maintainer b330f1d9e8 feat(tabs): give the vertical rail the home screen's per-session detail
The vertical tab rail (tabOrientation 'vertical') listed names and nothing
else, while the rich sidebar and both home screens already answered the
question a docked column exists to answer: which of these sessions wants me
next, and how long has it been like that. The rail is a docked column too, so
it now draws the same row.

- New per-device setting tabRailDetail ('rich' | 'simple', default rich),
  App Settings -> Appearance -> Tabs, in SettingsUpdateSchema + displayKeys and
  stamped as data-tab-rail-detail by the pre-paint script, so a detailed rail
  does not flash through simple rows on every load.
- ONE gate for both vertical surfaces: isRichTabRows() =
  isSessionSidebarRich() || isTabRailRich(). The row model, the markup and the
  20s in-place clock are the existing rich-sidebar ones, classified by
  _mobileOverviewState/_mobileOverviewSince, so the rail, the sidebar, the
  desktop home rail and the phone overview cannot disagree about what
  "working" means or which stamp measures it.
- Detail rides on its OWN attribute, exactly as the sidebar's does, so every
  existing [data-tab-orientation='vertical'] rule keeps matching both variants
  untouched. A flip of detail ALONE still forces a full render (the stamps line
  is emitted by the row template, not toggled by CSS) and re-runs
  applyTabWrapSettings(), which owns the folder line and is now rail-aware.
- CSS: every rich paint rule gains a rail twin as a COMMA-GROUPED selector,
  never :is() - an :is() list takes its most specific argument, which would
  lift the sidebar arm from (0,3,1) to the rail's (0,5,1) and let these rules
  outrank things they never used to.
- Width is why there are thresholds. At 256px the stamps line ellipsizes
  mid-word, the same reason the rich sidebar is 300px, so a rail that has never
  been sized defaults to 320 (RICH_DEFAULT_WIDTH, the existing Wide preset,
  which also keeps the settings select on a named choice). A width the user has
  chosen is never overridden: below 288px the created stamp is dropped rather
  than truncated (tab-rail-tight, CSS only) and below 240px the rows go back to
  simple (tab-rail-compact, which re-renders).
- The rich clock is armed and disarmed by applyTabOrientation() as well as
  applySessionListLayout(); a leaked interval would rewrite stamps in a list
  that no longer has any.

Also fixes a data-loss bug in the inline tab rename that predates the rail and
reproduces in every layout, header strip included: Escape set the input to ''
and blurred it, and the blur handler commits - so cancelling a rename PUT an
empty name, and the tab fell back to its folder label (measured against a live
server: ["rail-alpha","","rail-gamma"]). Escape now calls cancelRename(), which
invalidates the edit so the blur that follows the input's removal is a no-op.

Tests: rail-detail gate, the three ways it turns back off (simple, compact,
horizontal), sidebar-wins, render-on-detail-flip and the plumbing/CSS guards in
test/session-list-layout.test.ts; the rename cancel in test/inline-rename.test.ts
(browser suite), pinned by running it against the old code first. Verified live
against a real server on an isolated instance: detailed/simple/compact/header/
sidebar variants, click-select, the ... menu, inline rename, Alt+N, the in-place
stamp tick and a full settings-picker round-trip including reload.

Codeman maintainer 7a340fe7bc fix(tabs): review-driven hardening for the tab-layout foundation and vertical rail
Post-merge follow-ups from the deep review of #334 and #335, so they ship in
the same release as the features.

Tab-layout foundation (#335):
- PUT /api/session-order drops unknown/foreign ids again instead of 400ing
  the whole write, in both the owner and the admin path (single-user requests
  are the synthetic admin, so that path is the one the browser hits). The
  frontend debounces its reorder push and swallows errors, so a session
  deleted inside the debounce window silently cost the user the entire
  reorder - and the endpoint sits on the stable /api/v1 surface, where the
  pre-layout server merged leniently.
- A failed mux restore no longer locks explicit deletions into 500s for the
  process lifetime: runSessionDeletion and webviewDeleted degrade to
  best-effort without layout coordination, while the automated stale sweep
  (runStaleSessionCleanup) stays fail-closed.
- sse-events doc comment: no 'suppressed' hook event exists; hooks stay 8.
- registerSessionWithLayout resolves its owner through ownerLayoutKey()
  instead of a hardcoded '@single'.

Vertical rail (#334) - all rail-awareness gaps in sidebar-only predicates,
unified behind the new _isVerticalTabList() (sidebar OR rail):
- Drag-reorder read the insertion side from clientX in the rail, so
  before/after was effectively arbitrary on vertical rows; the drag-over
  indicators now draw as top/bottom edges there like the sidebar's.
- The active tab is scrolled into view in the rail (Alt+N/palette selection
  used to leave the row below the fold).
- Floating subagent/ultracode windows anchor to the RIGHT of rail tabs, and
  the connector redraw gates (render tail + strip scroll) cover the rail.
- Server-seeded tabOrientation is applied when the async settings load
  resolves, not only at boot, so a fresh device shows the rail immediately.
- The pre-paint script stamps data-tab-orientation and --tab-rail-width
  (sidebar-wins and solo carve-outs included), removing the flash of the
  header strip on every vertical-mode load.
- The session name font defaults to 12px, the sidebar's historical 0.75rem
  size, so installs that never touch the new slider are not restyled.

Also documents the rail in CLAUDE.md (second #sessionTabs host, mover
ordering, the axis-predicate rule) and gives tab-rail-resize.js its
@dependency/@loadorder header. Full gate green (6093 tests); the excluded
browser suite was run by hand - only the known environmental failures
(opencode/codex binaries) remain, identical to pristine master.
