Every run mode is now a `CliEntry` in `src/config/cli-registry/` — discovery
(search dirs, version + identity probes), the launch argv template, env
handling, the `capabilities` flags that replace per-CLI branching, and the
`overlays` that back the remote/docker pane commands. Code that used to ask
"which CLI is this?" reads the entry instead.
Behaviour is unchanged. `test/cli-registry-spawn-golden.test.ts` pins every
spawn command as a literal string, captured from the hand-written builders
before they were deleted, and `test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts` does the
same for all 20 remote and in-container pane commands.
Config can never contain shell text: an entry declares typed argv tokens,
literals are validated against a safe-word pattern at LOAD time (a bad literal
rejects the whole entry — a silently dropped `--no-approve` is not cosmetic),
and values resolve through patterns NAMED in code, so a user `clis.json` cannot
widen its own validation. `~/.codeman/clis.json` overrides any entry, read-only
in this release.
OMP is included as a registry entry rather than a tenth hand-written builder,
so `buildOmpCommand()`, the omp availability pre-flight, the omp arm of
`buildPathExport()` and the omp entries in the truecolor/NO_COLOR, alt-screen
and doctor ladders all drop out.
Guard rails:
- `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` fails the build if per-CLI-id
branching reappears outside `stock.ts`, in any of its four shapes (`===`,
`!==`, `switch`/`case`, `includes`) — an `===`-only version would miss the
negated forms, which is how 36 of them survived an earlier pass. Every
allowlisted branch carries its reason.
- `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` stay three INDEPENDENT capabilities;
deriving one from another shipped the `until=stop`-hangs-on-shell bug.
- `param` is two namespaces. `launch.params` keys, `configSetenv.fromParam` and
`privilegedParams[].param` all name a LAUNCH param; the legacy `<Mode>Config`
wire field is separate, bridged only by `legacyConfigAliases`. Getting
`privilegedParams[].param` wrong is SILENT — it is the multi-user bypass
clamp's only handle on a CLI's privilege switch, and a wrong name clamps
nothing with no error and no failing test — so `schema.ts` rejects an entry
naming a param it never declared.
- Registry data resolves AT CALL TIME (`sessionModeSchema()`,
`allowedEnvPrefixes()`, `dependencyRegistry()`, the resolvers' `searchDirs`
thunks). A module-level const freezes at first import, so a CLI enabled while
the server ran moved the run menu but not that surface.
- Six fields are annotated DECLARED-FOR-LATER and read by nothing
(`shortBadge`, `accent`, `capabilities.echo`/`wheelForward`/
`keyboardAccessory`/`maxFrameBytes`): all frontend behaviour, transcribed
rather than measured. A test pins the list so it cannot quietly grow.
Three user-visible changes, all deliberate and named:
- `probeDockerCliVersion()` derives the in-container binary from the registry
rather than assuming it equals the mode name (`antigravity` runs `agy`).
- The remote CLI version probe now covers grok and deepseek, which the
hardcoded map it replaces omitted while its own comment said the rule was
"every mode except shell".
- `codeman doctor`'s CLI rows are generated from the entries, so Claude's
install hint is the install command rather than a docs URL, five CLIs gain
hints they never had, and the row order follows the catalog.
Also hardened along the way: `sessionModeSchema()` is bounded at 24 chars
(matching the `cliId` pattern) before its failure message quotes the value
back, and `deepMerge` skips `__proto__`/`constructor`/`prototype` when reading
the hand-editable `clis.json`.

Second review pass on #282, the three items left open after f4dcfbe.
1. `codeman doctor` and the run mode disagreed about pi. The registry entry
accepted a bare `which pi` hit while pi-cli-resolver demanded semver-shaped
`--version` output, so the Dependencies panel could report an installed Pi CLI
on a box where Run Pi stays hidden, which reads as a broken mode rather than a
missing install. Both sides now share one exported PI_VERSION_REGEX, and
PathResolver gains an opt-in `requireVersionMatch` so a binary that fails the
shape check is reported MISSING instead of installed-with-unknown-version.
Only pi sets it; every other tool keeps its current behaviour.
2. The isAltScreenStripMode comment justified excluding pi with "the alt screen
is load-bearing for its fullscreen TUI". That is not what exclusion does: pi
is tmux-backed, so it falls through to isMuxAltScreenOnlyStripMode, which
strips the alt-screen toggles anyway. What exclusion actually preserves is
`\x1b[3J` and the mouse DECSETs, which is the real reason (pi renders into the
main screen and is mouse-aware). Comment and changeset now say that, and state
the consequence: fullscreen pi paints into the main buffer, like vim in a tmux
shell session.
3. skills/codeman still enumerated the five pre-pi modes in nine places, telling
agents a backend does not exist and understating class-wide caveats by one
mode. All updated, plus stale session.ts line references refreshed.
Tests: a new static guard derives the mode set from the Zod schema (not a copy)
and fails when a skill enumeration lists a partial set of external CLIs, verified
by mutation. It also documents the one legitimate exception it found: the "writes
no transcript" lists drop codex, which does write a rollout Codeman reads back.
Plus doctor cases for an unrelated `pi` on PATH and registry/resolver regex parity.

Review fixes on top of the `codeman doctor` checker:
- Node minVersion 18.0.0 -> 22.0.0. package.json engines is ">=22.0.0" and the docs/CI
require Node 22+, so doctor was green-lighting Node 18-21 (a false pass).
- Remove the phantom `gemini` registry entry. Codeman has no Gemini backend
(SessionMode = 'claude' | 'shell' | 'opencode' | 'codex'); the entry advertised a
dependency that nothing uses.
- Add `pdftoppm` (poppler) to the office group. document-thumbnailer.ts calls pdftoppm
with no fallback as the sole PDF/Office first-page thumbnail renderer, yet it was
absent from the registry, so doctor never reported it missing.
- Fix the `--category` mismatch: the help advertised `documents|media` categories that
the ToolCategory type/registry never defined, and an unknown category silently
produced an empty "all healthy" table. Introduce TOOL_CATEGORIES as the single source
of truth (type + help + validation); an invalid `--category` now errors with the
valid list and exits 2.
Verified: tsc, lint, format:check all clean; both dependency tests pass (20);
`doctor` runs correctly (Node 22.22 ok, pdftoppm detected, no gemini), `--category media`
errors with exit 2, `--category office` lists libreoffice/pdftoppm/msoffice.

Environment-aware dependency probe (linux|darwin|win32|wsl) with a static
registry, an injectable ProbeHost seam for testing, grouped table + `--json`
output, and a non-zero exit when a required dependency is missing/outdated.
Node and tmux are the only hard-required tools; the agent CLIs and document
converters (LibreOffice / MS Office via WSL interop) are optional. CI-safe
unit tests (no tmux, injected host).
