Follow-up to #209 and #210. Both land a real fix (a pane that is a login shell
picks up /etc/profile and the per-user PATH entries an ssh remote command never
sees, which is what was failing agent CLIs with exit 127). Three corrections:
1. `-i -l` is no longer hardcoded onto the resolved shell. That path ultimately
comes from the passwd entry, which is user data and can name anything, and a
shell that rejects an unknown flag exits on the spot: nushell, elvish and xonsh
take neither flag, so a user with one of those in passwd would have gotten a
dead pane on arrival, which is exactly the #208 failure #209 builds on top of.
loginShellArgs() applies them only to the POSIX-family shells verified to
accept both, and a test really launches every allowlisted shell present on the
machine rather than trusting the set. csh/tcsh are excluded deliberately: tcsh
honors -l only when it is the ONLY flag.
2. `remain-on-exit on` -> `failed`, moved LAST in the tmux command chain. `on`
keeps the pane after a CLEAN exit too, so typing `exit` in a remote shell
stranded a dead pane, the session outlived it, and the next launch's `-A`
reattached to that corpse: "Pane is dead (status 0)" instead of a shell,
permanently, on the DEFAULT path. Verified against a real tmux, as was the
fix: `failed` tears the session down on status 0 and keeps the pane on 127
with the "command not found" still on screen, which is the case #210 wanted.
It is last because tmux aborts the remaining commands of a `\;` sequence once
one errors (also verified) and `failed` needs tmux >= 3.2 on the REMOTE host;
leading, a rejection there would have silently dropped status/mouse/prefix/
escape-time/window-size along with it.
3. `$SHELL` -> `"${SHELL:-/bin/sh}"`, via one shared remoteLoginShellCommand()
helper instead of the string being rebuilt in tmux-manager as well.
Also corrects the rationale both PRs carried: a tmux pane already hands the shell
a tty, so it was interactive all along ($- contains i for a bare /bin/bash in a
pane) and ~/.bashrc was always being sourced. `-l` is the flag doing the work.
End-to-end verified, not just unit-tested: the emitted remote pane command was
run through all three quoting layers under a minimal sshd-style PATH with the
CLI installed only on a login-shell PATH entry, and it resolved and launched the
CLI with its arguments intact and a space-containing remote path preserved.

remain-on-exit (previous commit) preserved dead remote panes instead of
destroying them, which revealed the real failure: `exec claude`/`exec
opencode` ran under ssh's non-interactive, non-login remote-command
shell, which only sees sshd's minimal default PATH — not the ~/.zshrc
PATH entries where these CLIs actually live (e.g. ~/.local/bin,
~/.opencode/bin). Wrap them in `$SHELL -i -l -c '<cmd>'`, mirroring the
fix shell mode already had.

Remote shell-mode sessions hardcoded 'exec bash -l', ignoring the
remote user's actual login shell. sshd sets $SHELL from the remote
user's /etc/passwd entry, so 'exec $SHELL -i -l' launches their real
shell (zsh, fish, etc.) with rc files sourced, same fix as the local
shell-mode launch.
Also set remain-on-exit on the remote tmux session. It was only ever
set on the local socket, so if the remote command exited for any
reason -- even something transient -- tmux destroyed the pane, window,
and (being the only session) the whole remote server, tearing down the
local ssh attach along with it and leaving no trace to diagnose. The
local pane saw this as an instant clean exit, and reconnect's -A then
created a fresh session, which could repeat as a flap loop with no
evidence surviving between attempts.

- UI: add the missing data-tab="case-remote" tab button; dispatch it through
submitCaseModal()/switchCaseModalTab() to linkRemoteCase() (was dead code).
- Restore: restoreMuxSessions() now passes remote (muxSession.remote ??
savedState.remote) into the Session constructor, so remote metadata round-trips
on restart instead of reattaching from a local cwd / respawning LOCAL / being
erased from state.json. Recovery tests added.
- Run flows: runClaude()/runShell() route remote cases through /api/quick-start
(POST /api/sessions stat-validates workingDir locally); run*() skip the
/api/*/status pre-check and omit inert config/env for remote cases.
- Quick-start: resolve the remote case BEFORE the local CLI availability gates and
skip isCodex/Gemini/OpenCodeAvailable() when remote; REJECT
envOverrides/effort/codex/gemini/openCode config for remote (they don't cross
ssh) instead of silently dropping them.
- Injection: reject $, backtick, $( in remotePath + identityFile at the schema
layer (they survive shellescape into the bash -c launch double-quote layer).
Regression tests for $(...) and backtick payloads added.
- Remote socket/name: launch on a DEDICATED -L codeman-remote socket under a
codeman-ssh-<id> name that fails a remote Codeman's SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN, so a
remote instance can't adopt the session; scope tmux set-options per-session
(never -g) so they don't mutate other sessions.
- Kill: best-effort ssh 'tmux -L codeman-remote kill-session' on remote session
kill (fire-and-forget, never blocks/throws the local kill) so the remote agent
isn't orphaned forever.
- Probe: wire checkRemoteTmuxAvailable() into POST /api/quick-start (structured
OPERATION_FAILED) and as courtesy validation in remote-link; add a default
-o ConnectTimeout=10 to buildSshConnectionArgs (overridable via extraSshOptions).
- Command default: remote claude default is now
'exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions' (per-host override stays the escape
hatch), mirroring local non-interactive semantics.

The Remote case form could only reach port-22, default-identity, directly
SSH-able hosts. Add an escape-hatch set of SSH connection options so Codeman
can reach a host like aa-desktop (custom port 2222, ed25519 identity, cloudflared
SOCKS5 ProxyCommand) the way ssh-aa-desktop does — without shelling out to that
wrapper.
- Model (types/session.ts): new optional RemoteSshOptions (identityFile,
socksProxy, jumpHost, extraSshOptions) on RemoteHost AND SessionRemote; all
absent = today's behavior. toSessionRemote() carries them case->session.
- Shared buildSshConnectionArgs(remote) in remote-hosts.ts: pure, exported,
ordered ssh connection tokens (-o BatchMode=yes, -p, -i <abs identity with
~/$HOME expanded + shellescaped>, -J, -o ProxyCommand=nc -X 5 -x <socks>
%h %p emitted as ONE shellescaped token so %h %p reach ssh literally, then
each extraSshOptions -o). Both buildRemoteLaunchCommand (tmux-manager.ts) and
buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand now use it, so the prereq probe and the real
launch connect identically. checkRemoteTmuxAvailable widened to accept the
options (callers already pass the full host).
- Validation (schemas.ts): identityFile (no newline/NUL), socksProxy
(host:port), jumpHost (no shell metachars), extraSshOptions (KEY=VALUE,
reject newline/NUL/backtick/$() — defense-in-depth on operator-entered config.
- UI (index.html + session-ui.js): SSH Port field + collapsible "Advanced SSH"
section (identity, SOCKS proxy, jump host, extra -o options one per line);
wired into the remote-host create payload.
Empty-options remotes emit byte-identical ssh to before (pinned by test).
Tests: test/remote-ssh-options.test.ts (buildSshConnectionArgs +
buildRemoteLaunchCommand + buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand for the aa-desktop set,
escaping/%h %p/identity-~ expansion, byte-identical back-compat); case-routes
schema tests (advanced options round-trip; malformed extraSshOptions/socksProxy
rejected). tsc/eslint/frontend-syntax/prettier/build clean.
Acceptance (real remote, no wrapper): the emitted command connected to
aa-desktop through the cloudflared SOCKS proxy and created a durable remote
tmux session (verified independently via ssh-aa-desktop: CONNECTED_NO_WRAPPER,
STILL_ALIVE_AFTER_DETACH); checkRemoteTmuxAvailable over the proxy returned
{ok:true, tmuxPath:/usr/local/bin/tmux}; test session cleaned up.
Switching away from a session and back replayed only the server's byte
history. For TUI modes (codex especially) that shows just the latest
repaint — the idle banner — because the TUI drops earlier conversation
from its current frame. This restores the actual on-screen view.
Two complementary mechanisms:
- Client: load xterm's SerializeAddon and snapshot the rendered state
(viewport + scrollback + colors) per session on switch-away, restoring
it for an instant first paint on switch-back. The snapshot is only the
first paint — the canonical /terminal frame is still fetched and
reconciled (restoredSnapshot/clearedForBusy force the replay). Snapshots
are LRU-bounded in memory (<=20) and persisted to localStorage
(<=256KB each, <=10 sessions, stale-pruned) so they survive tab discard.
- Server: GET /api/sessions/:id/terminal prepends the live tmux pane
buffer (via the existing captureActivePaneBuffer) ahead of the byte
history, cleared between, so replay reflects the current frame.
Also fix formatPaneSnapshot dropping the rightmost column of every
captured row: it painted to cols - 1 out of caution about last-column
autowrap, but every row is followed by an absolute cursor-position CSI
that cancels xterm's pending-wrap, so painting the full width is safe.
The SerializeAddon is built from @xterm/addon-serialize (new dependency)
into the vendor bundle by postinstall.js (dev) and build.mjs (prod),
matching how the other xterm addons are vendored.
Follow-up to the PR #112 re-review (all six prior blockers were already
resolved; these are new issues the rework introduced):
- app.js: define the missing `_scheduleTerminalRepaint()` helper. It was
called from both WebGL-fallback paths (onContextLoss + long-task trip)
but defined nowhere, so each fallback threw `TypeError` and lost the
post-fallback repaint, leaving a stale/blank terminal. Implemented as an
rAF-debounced full refresh (matches the old inline `terminal.refresh`).
- app.js: clear terminal load-state on the two post-write stale-select
early-returns (cached-buffer + rewrite branches), matching the other
four checks. Switching away from a mid-loading tab no longer leaks a
permanent `.tab-loading` spinner / `aria-busy=true`.
- terminal-ui.js + app.js: gate the post-resize TUI-redraw settle on an
actual dimension change. `sendResize` now returns whether dims changed;
a same-size tab switch sends no SIGWINCH, so the wait is skipped instead
of charging a flat tax on every non-shell switch. Literal hoisted to
`TUI_REDRAW_SETTLE_MS`.
- tmux-manager.ts: `resizeWindow()` uses a non-blocking `exec` instead of
`execSync` so the interactive WS/HTTP resize path can't stall the
Fastify event loop on a slow/hung tmux. Sole caller already fire-and-
forgets the result; test updated to assert the async dispatch.

Mode-agnostic terminal foundation extracted from the downstream branch:
- formatPaneSnapshot: SGR/grapheme-aware tmux pane capture + active-pane
resolution, with OSC/CSI redraw suppression and the buffer-load owner-token
race fix on the terminal fetch path
- socket-correct tmux lifecycle: dedicated -L socket and /tmp launch cwd in
createSession (restores the FUSE/getcwd hardening from #110), and a
socket-aware re-attach window-size query (avoids the 120x40 flicker)
- inline-rename: commit/cancel state handling clears _activeRename and skips
the API call on cancel
- selectSession: restored detached-window raise short-circuit
The codex-specific xterm snapshot/replay, the vendored serialize addon, and
the synchronous live pane-capture on the request path are intentionally
excluded: they depend on a 'codex' SessionMode that doesn't exist on master
and are deferred to COD-34 (which introduces that mode). The capture
primitives remain exported for COD-34 to build on.

* fix: isolate codeman tmux sessions
* fix(tmux): unify all sessions onto a single dedicated socket
Remove the per-session `tmuxSocket` field that recorded which tmux server
each session lived on (default vs the `codeman` socket). That field was a
persisted cache of physical reality and could drift — causing live sessions
to be wrongly marked dead ("tab shows no session found") and spawning
duplicate "Restored:" tabs.
All Codeman sessions now live on one process-wide socket (`tmux -L codeman`,
overridable via CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET), exposed via TmuxManager.muxSocket on
the TerminalMultiplexer interface. reconcileSessions() collapses from a
multi-socket scan (locate / re-pin / cross-socket dedup) to a single
`list-panes` query. loadSessions() strips the obsolete field from on-disk
records so it stops being written back.
Also fix two sibling bare-`tmux` call sites the unification would otherwise
leave broken (same #80 regression class — bare tmux hits the user's default
server and never finds a session on the codeman socket):
- session.ts queryTmuxWindowSize(): add `-L <socket>` (was silently falling
back to 120x40 on re-attach, losing scrollback)
- session-routes.ts send-key (Shift+Enter / Ctrl+Enter newline): route
through ctx.mux.muxSocket
SSH chooser scripts (tmux-manager.sh, tmux-chooser.sh) route every tmux call
through `tmux -L $CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET`, matching the TS default.

* fix(tmux-manager): use '|' separator in reconcileSessions
Under non-tty execution contexts (launchd on macOS, systemd without TTY),
tmux emits '\t' in FORMAT strings as the literal two characters `\` + `t`
rather than as a tab. The parser's `line.indexOf('\t')` (a real tab char)
therefore never matches, `activeSessions` stays empty, `reconcileSessions`
returns `alive: []` / `discovered: []`, and `cleanupStaleSessions()` wipes
every entry in `state.json` — even though the underlying tmux sessions are
still alive. On the next startup the user sees an empty session list.
The bug reproduces reliably when codeman is launched via a user LaunchAgent
or a systemd unit without `TTYPath`. Interactive `npm run dev` hides it
because tmux's format parser does interpret `\t` when stdout is a TTY.
Fix: use `|` as the separator. tmux passes it through verbatim in every
environment, and `|` is not a valid tmux session-name character so it
cannot collide with the codeman-<uuid> / claudeman-<uuid> naming scheme.
* test(tmux-manager): cover parsePaneList separator contract
Extract the inline pane-list parser from `reconcileSessions` into an
exported `parsePaneList()` helper plus `PANE_LIST_SEP` / `PANE_LIST_FORMAT`
constants, so the '|' separator contract can be unit-tested directly.
The new tests lock in:
- Well-formed parsing into name -> pid Map
- Empty / blank-line / missing-separator handling
- Non-numeric pid and empty-name rejection
- A literal `\t` (backslash + t) in the input is NOT treated as a
delimiter — guards against the launchd/systemd regression that
motivated PR #71.
- Splitting on the first separator only.
No behavior change in `reconcileSessions`; the body now delegates to the
helper.

1. handleInit crash: commit cdc822d removed Map initializations for
teammateTerminals, teammatePanesByName, teams, teamTasks, teammateMap
from the constructor but left cleanup code that iterates them.
cleanupAllFloatingWindows() crashed on "not iterable", preventing
ALL frontend data (sessions, subagents) from loading.
2. claudeSessionId null on recovered sessions: only set inside
startInteractive(), never in constructor or persisted. After server
restart, recovered sessions had null claudeSessionId, so the
hasMatchingTab check always failed → no subagent windows.
Fixes:
- Re-add all 5 missing Map initializations in app.js constructor
- Set _claudeSessionId = this.id in Session constructor (Claudeman
always passes --session-id to Claude, so they always match)

Added IS_TEST_MODE (process.env.VITEST) guards to every method in TmuxManager and
ScreenManager that touches real tmux/screen sessions. Tests can never create, kill,
discover, or send input to real sessions. Removed broken E2E test suite entirely.
Rewrote test/setup.ts from 459 lines to minimal cleanup. Rewrote tmux-related tests
to verify test-mode safety behavior.
