Codeman maintainer a0298cf2b1 fix(skill): keep the re-wait open while sendwait works the composer
The first shape of the Enter loop read the composer BETWEEN two short waits,
and tested `wait.ended` (the session exiting) where it meant `timedOut`. A
`stop` that fired while no wait was open was lost, since signals have no
history, and a re-wait that had already resolved on `stop` fell through into
another wait that could never see the edge again: measured twice, the answer
was on screen and sendwait ran its whole 580 s slice anyway.

The long re-wait (a tagged duplicate of the original frame) is now registered
first and kept open in the background for the rest of the call; the loop reads
the composer and re-sends Enter beside it, stops when the prompt has left or
the wait's response has landed, then returns that response. Measured: the
stranded prompt got one extra Enter and sendwait returned on `stop` at 36 s.

Codeman maintainer 19ffe9b7a8 fix(input): make sure a prompt sent through the API actually leaves the composer
Claude Code 2.1.277 takes typed text the moment its composer paints but
ignores Enter for the first 30 to 50 seconds after it (measured 2026-09-19
through the input route: an Enter at 28 s stranded the prompt, one at 51 s
submitted it). The text+Enter pair `sendInput` sends 50 ms apart therefore
left every programmatic prompt sitting unsent, and every waiter burned its
timeout on a turn that never started.

Server: `SubmitVerifier` (session-submit-verifier.ts), armed from
`writeViaMux` for every mux write that carried a carriage return, reads the
pane on a 2 s to 60 s schedule and re-sends Enter only while the last
composer line (the CLI's own prompt glyph) still holds the head of what was
sent. An empty composer, other text, or no composer line at all ends it; a
newer write replaces the schedule.

Skill: `sendwait` gets the same loop (`_composer_text`, no-break space
stripped by its bytes for BSD sed) for servers that predate this, and the
preamble version moves to 1.30.1 so seeded agents pick up the fresh copy.
SKILL.md's heredoc and the plugin mirror are regenerated.

Codeman maintainer 8ee7926e27 feat(agent-cases): tag agent-spawned case dirs and sweep their leftovers
A long orchestration creates one case directory per worker and deleting the
sessions never removed them, so ~/codeman-cases accumulated scratch folders
that were indistinguishable from real projects. They are now labelled and
have a cleanup path.

- src/agent-case-marker.ts: a case dir quick-start CREATES for an agent-driven
  spawn gets a .codeman-agent-case.json marker (when, by whom, parent session,
  mode). Only the create branch writes it, so a linked case, a cloned repo or
  any pre-existing path is never labelled; reading is total, so a malformed
  marker means "not agent-created" rather than a half-trusted entry.
- The signal is the new X-Codeman-Agent-Origin header the skill preamble sets
  on its shared curl (preamble bumped to 1.22.0), or an agentOrigin body
  field, falling back to a resolved parentSessionId so a worker spawned by a
  stale skill copy is still labelled.
- GET /api/cases publishes it as agentCreated; GET /api/cases/agent-created is
  a read-only cleanup listing adding inUse and modifiedAt; Add Case -> Manage
  badges each case and offers a review-then-delete sweep that names every
  directory in its confirm and skips any case a live session is working in.
  Removal stays on the existing DELETE /api/cases/:name.
- Agent preamble caches are collected too: ~/.cache/codeman-agent-<id>.sh was
  written per claude session and never removed (236 leftovers measured on a
  working machine). Now deleted with the session and swept at boot, guarded by
  a live-session keep set plus a 7-day age floor.

Verified end to end on an isolated instance: marker written for header, body
and lineage-only spawns, absent with no agent signal and for a pre-existing
directory; inUse flipping on session end; badge, sticky bar, confirm and sweep
driven in a browser; preamble seeded on create, removed on delete, boot sweep
taking only the aged orphans.

Codeman maintainer aaa93d4252 fix(session): answer Claude Code 2.1.252's reversed folder-trust dialog
Every claude session in a directory claude had not seen before died about six
seconds after it started (`Pane is dead (status 1)`), before the agent drew a
composer. Reproduced on a fresh case and measured.

Claude Code 2.1.252 rewrote the dialog. It used to be

  ❯ 1. Yes, I trust this folder
    2. No, exit

and is now unnumbered, reversed, and highlights the option that quits:

  ❯ No, exit
    Yes, I trust this folder

Detection still worked (the confirm affordance carries the match once the
numbered option text is gone), so the failure was entirely in the answer: the
auto-accept pressed Enter on the highlighted default, which is now exit.

trustDialogNextKey() reads the ❯ marker off the rendered pane and returns ONE
keystroke at a time: an arrow while the cursor is on the wrong option, Enter
only once the screen shows it on the trust option, and null for a frame that
does not say. Both layouts are handled, and which way the trust option lies is
read from the frame rather than assumed, so a further reordering costs a
repaint instead of a session. The last marked option wins, because the
direct-PTY fallback reads an append-only buffer where an older frame must not
out-vote the freshest one.

Two things only a live pane showed:

- The scan ran solely from the PTY onData handler. The arrow that moves the
  cursor is the last output the pane produces, so the first fix parked every
  session with the cursor sitting on the right option and no Enter ever sent.
  It now schedules its own follow-up read (_trustDialogTimer, cleared in
  _clearAllTimers()), offset past the scan throttle so the chain cannot break
  on a boundary.
- The keystroke cap goes 3 -> 6, since answering is no longer one press.

The bundled codeman skill had the same blind \r as its bounded fallback, so
preamble 1.21.0 replaces it with _trust_key/_accept_trust: read
terminal?full=1, steer onto the trust option, re-read, then confirm. Those
keystrokes go out under their own clientId, because input sequence numbers are
monotonic per client and spending prompt numbers on dialog keys would make the
next send-and-wait look like a stale duplicate and vanish while reporting
success. The readiness recipes in docs/extending-codeman.md,
docs/api-reference.md and the skill's own reference carry the corrected answer,
plus a symptom-table entry for a worker whose pane is dead seconds after spawn.

Verified live on an isolated instance (own data dir and tmux socket): fresh
case -> arrow at 5 s -> Enter at 7 s -> composer, with hasTrustDialogAccepted
recorded. With the server-side auto-accept disabled in a throwaway copy, the
skill's fallback cleared a genuinely parked dialog in 1.1 s and spawn_worker
took a brand-new case to a live composer in 7.2 s; spawn_workers + sendwait +
last_text then ran end to end.

Codeman maintainer 6261b6f655 feat(skill): spawn and drive DeepSeek Harness workers
The agent skill could spawn a worker in any mode, but it could only
DRIVE a claude one: every other CLI has neither a real end-of-turn
signal nor an answer to read, so the recipes route them through output
markers.

dsh has both halves now -- its harness reports idle/working/blocked to
Codeman, and the previous commit reads its transcript -- so it joins
claude as a mode the four verbs work on unchanged. `spawn_workers alpha
beta:deepseek` is a mixed fleet in one call, and `sendwait` / `last_text`
/ `delete_session` need no per-mode variant.

Preamble 1.20.0 (SKILL.md's §0 heredoc regenerated from it):

- `spawn_worker` grows a deepseek branch that gates on the harness
  composer. ⚠️ Readiness there is NOT the stop signal: the harness
  reports idle at BOOT ~300 ms before its composer paints (measured
  2.26 s vs 2.56 s after spawn), so a send-and-wait fired straight after
  quick-start resolves on the boot edge, reports a turn that never ran,
  and strands the prompt in a pane not yet taking input. Waiting for the
  composer also spends that edge, since signals are edge-triggered.
- `spawn_workers` takes `name[:mode]`, so a mixed fleet stays one
  concurrent call. Case names still have to be unique -- the mode never
  disambiguates two workers that would share a directory.
- `sendwait` asks for `wait:"stop,exit"` instead of the `wait:true`
  default set. That set also carries `idle`, which for an external CLI is
  inferred from output stabilization: on a dsh worker whose TUI repaints
  rarely, the re-wait resolved in 0 ms with `signal:"idle"` on a turn
  with three minutes left to run. It also makes a wrong mode loud -- the
  modes that cannot deliver `stop` answer 400 before writing anything,
  instead of resolving on a flap.
- The self-heal resend carries `delivered:true` forward. The resend is a
  tagged duplicate, so the server truthfully reports `delivered:false`
  about a write it skipped, and §1's cleanup then read a completed turn
  as an undelivered one and kept a finished worker forever.
- dsh workers spawn with the permission posture the Run button sends,
  because the harness default still asks and a worker parked on an
  approval row cannot finish a fan-out. The multi-user clamp still
  applies.

Docs: a worked dsh flow in recipes.md, readiness and the signal rules in
verbs.md, and the corrections this makes necessary -- `stop`/`blocked`
are no longer claude-only, and `last-response` is no longer permanently
empty for deepseek. The integration guide gains a section on reading a
session back and driving one as a worker; its web-UI section was also
stale (that server moved out of a shell session).

The static guard that keeps those lists from naming some external CLIs but
not others is extended rather than exempted: it now knows the three real
classes inside that family (no transcript, no hook signals, and the
positive twin -- the modes whose answers can be read), with the hook class
derived from `hooksAvailableForMode()` so the predicate and the prose
cannot drift apart. Any other partial list still fails, and a new backend
belongs to none of the classes until someone says so.

Codeman maintainer c8f3981b0c review fixes: 1.19.0 is the real version boundary, and the preamble stamp matches its bytes again
endpoints.md named 1.18.x as the version where workspace hooks became a
setting, but 1.18.x servers do NOT have this behavior — an agent driving
one would falsely conclude its workspace has hooks. The feature ships in
1.19.0. And preamble.sh changed content this PR without bumping its
CODEMAN_PREAMBLE stamp, so a cache stamped 1.18.3 would pass the
staleness check while holding old bytes; stamp bumped to 1.19.0 in
preamble.sh and the SKILL.md heredoc together (byte-identity pin).

Codeman maintainer 1c94995290 docs(skill): hooks are a setting now, not who created the directory
The workspace-hooks install makes the skill's central hooks rule wrong in the
cautious direction. Six places told a worker that a linked case or a raw
workingDir has no `stop`/`blocked` and that send-and-wait cannot be trusted
there, so an agent would hand-roll output-marker synchronization in exactly the
workspaces where `wait:true` now works.

Rewritten against the setting rather than directory provenance:

- verbs.md §5.1: the where-to-spawn table, the rule paragraph (now naming
  `workspaceHooksEnabled`, default ON, the add-only merge, and the boot sweep of
  recovered sessions), and the silent-failure warning. The three cases that stay
  hook-less regardless are called out: remote SSH sessions, docker cases that
  opted out, and a workspace Codeman cannot write to.
- verbs.md §5.3: the send-and-wait precondition is "the workspace has the hooks
  block", not "a case Codeman created".
- endpoints.md: the Signals-by-mode table is now keyed on the setting, with rows
  for OFF, for remote/docker-opt-out, and for a session from an older server.
  The old create-path grep list becomes a "before 1.18.x" note.
- SKILL.md §2 + the cost list, recipes.md Flow-1 contrast, messaging.md step 1.

"Check, do not assume" is kept and promoted to the load-bearing habit, because
the setting is not visible from the call and a session created by an older server
that has not restarted still has nothing.

The `spawn_worker` hooks grep STAYS: it guards the setting being off, remote
sessions, and older servers. Only its diagnostic changes, since "pick an unused
name" is no longer the fix. That text lives in both the §0 heredoc and
`preamble.sh`, which `test/agent-skill.test.ts` pins byte-identical, so both are
patched with the same bytes.

Docs only, no behavior change. 23 skill tests green, full test:ci 5109 passed.

Codeman maintainer 74662dd788 fix(skill): stale user-level skill copy shadowed injections; seed the preamble
Two live failures from one root cause: Claude Code loads a same-named
user-level skill (~/.claude/skills/codeman, written once by `codeman skill
install`) over the fresh per-case copy, and nothing ever refreshed it. A
stale Aug-9 copy (pre fast-path, pre lineage header) made every agent-driven
spawn run the old recipes: workers spawned serially with pid polls and
without X-Codeman-Parent-Session, so the web UI drew no lineage arcs.

- refreshUserAgentSkill(): session create now refreshes a marker-owned
  user-level copy (refresh-only: absent copies are not installed,
  foreign/symlink copies stay untouched).
- seedAgentSessionPreamble(): local claude session create pre-seeds the
  skill's preamble into ${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-~/.cache}/codeman-agent-<id>.sh,
  single-sourced from the new skills/codeman/preamble.sh, so the skill's §0
  bootstrap collapses to a two-line loader instead of a ~150-line paste the
  model has to type out (measured ~47s of generation per run).
- SKILL.md: §0 now leads with the loader and keeps the full block as the
  stale/missing fallback; explicit verbatim-paste warning (a hand-assembled
  preamble is how the header and the fast-path functions got lost);
  spawn_worker also sends parentSessionId in the body as defense in depth;
  preamble stamp bumped to 1.18.3 so pre-fix cached preambles self-heal.
- test/agent-skill.test.ts pins preamble.sh byte-identical to the SKILL.md
  heredoc and covers seeding (XDG + HOME fallback, 0600) and the user-level
  refresh (absent/stale/foreign).
