chore: version packages

test: cover hostname title (#82 ) and tmux size-query (#80 )
Backfill the two regression gaps flagged on master after the recent hostname-title and tmux-flicker fixes shipped without server-side assertions. * test/server-index-title.test.ts (8 tests) — exercises WebServer's index.html templating path: default os.hostname(), --title-hostname override, HTML-escape against `<script>`-style breakout, ampersand non-double-encoding, exact-once substitution, and byte-identical template-tail invariance. * test/tmux-window-size-query.test.ts (15 tests) — mocks child_process.execFileSync and walks the helper through the browser-resize-between-attaches happy path, query-then-die race, zero/negative/empty/non-numeric output, plus argv-form/timeout assertions to lock down the no-shell-interpolation guarantee. * src/session.ts — extracts the inline 14-line tmux size query into a named `queryTmuxWindowSize()` export so the test surface is a pure function. Behavior unchanged. * src/web/public/notification-manager.js — Browser Notification API (layer 3) now uses `${this.originalTitle}: ${title}` so OS-level desktop pop-ups carry the same `codeman:<host>` prefix that the tab title and Web Push payloads already do, finishing the hostname plumb-through started in #82. * CLAUDE.md, README.md — document the dual-CLI env-prefix discipline (CLAUDE_CODE_* vs OPENCODE_*), expand the xterm-zerolag-input duplication gotcha to mention the published-package side-effect, and note that the hostname prefix now applies uniformly to tab title, tab-flash, and OS notifications.

 # aicodeman

+## 0.6.8
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Finish the hostname-aware notification plumbing started in 0.6.7 and lock down the recent UI/runtime fixes with regression tests.
+  - Browser Notification API (OS-level desktop pop-ups, layer 3 of the 5-layer notification system) now uses `${originalTitle}: ${title}` instead of the hardcoded `Codeman:` literal — so multi-host users running Codeman on laptop / dev box / NAS see `codeman:<host>: <event>` consistently across tab title, tab-flash, Web Push, and OS notifications.
+  - Inline session rename hardened against three corner cases: IME composition commits (Chinese pinyin Enter no longer ships half-composed text as the session name), mid-rename SSE deletion (orphaned `<input>` no longer 404s on blur), and double-fire on stuck settle-once flag (closure-local `settled` boolean replaces the boolean instance flag).
+  - Test coverage backfilled for two prior shipped fixes:
+    - `<title>codeman:<host></title>` server-side templating (#82): 8 tests covering default `os.hostname()`, `--title-hostname` override, HTML-escape against `<script>`-style breakout, ampersand non-double-encoding, and template-tail byte-identical invariance.
+    - tmux size-query helper (#80): 15 tests covering the browser-resize-between-attaches happy path, the query-then-die race, zero/negative/empty/non-numeric output fallbacks, and argv-form/timeout assertions that lock down the no-shell-interpolation guarantee. Inline 14-line query block extracted into a named `queryTmuxWindowSize()` export in `session.ts` so the test surface is a pure function.
+  - Regression coverage added for `stripInkRedrawBloat` route helper.
+  - CLAUDE.md and README.md updated to document dual-CLI env-prefix discipline (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*`), the `xterm-zerolag-input` published-package side-effect of overlay edits, and the unified hostname prefix across tab title / tab-flash / OS notifications.
+
+## 0.6.7
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- - **fix(client): preserve inline rename input across tab re-renders** (#81) — Right-click → rename on a session tab no longer loses keystrokes when SSE traffic from sibling sessions triggers a tab re-render. Adds an `_inlineRenameActive` guard at the top of `renderSessionTabs()` and `_fullRenameSessionTabs()` so the in-progress input isn't destroyed mid-typing. Also fixes a latent double-fire of `finishRename` (blur + Enter could both invoke it). Drive-by: safer DOM child clearing in place of `innerHTML = ''`.
+  - **feat: hostname-aware window title** (#82) — The browser tab title is now `codeman:<hostname>` instead of the bare `Codeman` literal, so users running Codeman on multiple hosts (laptop, dev box, NAS) can tell at a glance which tab points at which backend. New `--title-hostname <name>` CLI flag overrides the detected `os.hostname()` when it's noisy or you want a cosmetic name. The title is templated into the served HTML on first byte (with narrow HTML escaping), so it's correct from the first paint and works without JavaScript. Title-flash logic now respects the per-host title.
+  - **perf: larger terminal tail on tab switch** — `TERMINAL_TAIL_SIZE` raised from 128KB to 1MB. When switching back to a busy session tab you now get ~8× more scrollback restored immediately.
+  - **fix: preserve response text in Ink redraw stripping** — `stripInkRedrawBloat()` rewritten from a first-VPA approach to cluster-based detection. The previous algorithm assumed all VPA escapes after the first one belonged to a single redraw region and discarded everything in between, which silently lost 100KB+ of legitimate Claude response text once a render had occurred. The new approach groups VPAs into clusters separated by ≥8KB gaps and only collapses clusters spanning ≥32KB, so streamed response content between redraw bursts is preserved.
+  - **docs**: `CLAUDE.md` Additional Commands gains the `--title-hostname` row; `README.md` gets a "Hostname-Aware Window Title" subsection under Multi-Session Dashboard.
+
+## 0.6.6
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Terminal scrollback significantly increased** — both the xterm.js viewport and the tmux backing buffer were bottlenecking how far back you could scroll. Three changes:
+  - `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` raised from 20000 → 50000 lines (xterm.js, main terminal). The previous bump from 5000 only helped users with empty localStorage; existing users were stuck on whatever value they first picked up. The loader now treats `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` as a floor — if your stored value is below the new minimum, you're raised to it automatically.
+  - Subagent / teammate terminals (`panels-ui.js`) were stuck at 5000; now use the same `DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` constant (50000).
+  - New tmux sessions now run with `history-limit 50000` (tmux defaults to 2000). This matters for hard-reload / re-attach — without it, only the last ~2000 lines survive the round-trip back into a fresh xterm.
+
+  **Tmux flicker on session re-attach fixed (PR #80 by @aakhter)**: the PTY now queries the existing tmux window size via `tmux display -p` before spawning, instead of hardcoding 120x40. Previously, every re-attach forced tmux to resize down to 120x40, causing a visible flicker and one frame of scrollback loss. The `-x 120 -y 40` flag was also dropped from `tmux new-session` so the initial size matches the first attaching client. Uses `execFileSync` (not shell) for safety and falls back to 120x40 on any error.
+
+  **Docs**: CLAUDE.md now documents two recurring foot-guns — the `xterm-zerolag-input` overlay code is duplicated between `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` and inline inside `src/web/public/app.js`, so any overlay change must touch both; and the COM workflow explicitly includes a post-push `gh run watch` step to confirm CI before considering the release done.
+
+## 0.6.5
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Mobile fix**
+  - Android virtual keyboard: space character was silently dropped on touch devices using GBoard / SwiftKey / similar IMEs. Root cause: the input-event handler in `terminal-ui.js` treated any whitespace-only textarea value as proof that xterm had already processed the input. A lone space (`' '.trim() === ''`) tripped this guard, so the space was consumed but never forwarded. Now skips only when the textarea is truly empty (or whitespace from a non-space key). Reported and diagnosed by @coolk8 in #79.
+
+  **Docs**
+  - `CLAUDE.md`: added Zod `.optional()`-vs-`null` gotcha (recurring trap from 0.6.3 / 0.6.4 incidents) and a more visible warning against running bare `npm test` (kills the host tmux session).
+  - `docs/local-echo-overlay-plan.md`: marked SHIPPED, corrected xterm version reference (v5.3.0 → `@xterm/xterm` ^6.0.0).
+
+## 0.6.4
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix "Failed to enable respawn: Invalid request body" error when selecting infinity duration (∞) in the respawn modal. Frontend was sending `durationMinutes: null`, which Zod's `.optional()` schema rejected (it accepts `undefined` only). The body now omits the field when no duration is selected.
+
+## 0.6.3
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Fix**
+  - Allowlist `opusContext1mEnabled` in `SettingsUpdateSchema`. Without this entry, the strict schema rejected `PUT /api/settings {"opusContext1mEnabled":...}` with `INVALID_INPUT`, so the toggle's value never persisted across reloads. The frontend was already reading and writing this key (`settings-ui.js:336/1137`, `session-ui.js:340`), so saves were silently failing — users never noticed because the load path falls back to `false` on missing keys, hiding the bug. (#78)
+
+## 0.6.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Mobile UX**
+  - Resume Conversation list (welcome page) reworked for narrow screens: 2-line title clamp so more of the first prompt is visible; case-aware subtitle that renders `#caseName` (or `#caseName/sub`) when `workingDir` matches a known case, otherwise falls back to the directory basename; inline `⋯` toggle that expands a detail panel with full prompt, full path, timestamp, size, and short session id; `/Users/<user>/` now collapses to `~/` alongside `/home/<user>/`. (#77)
+  - Response viewer: ASCII diagram wrap toggle, dedicated mobile code-block layout, and chrome-stripping fallback when the model wraps its reply in extra markup. (#75)
+  - Mobile keyboard accessory bar no longer triggers vertical scroll. (#72)
+
+  **Sessions & settings**
+  - New `thinkingEffort` setting on session creation, with `xhigh` option and `/effort max` mobile shortcut. (#73)
+  - `thinkingEffort` is now allowlisted in `SettingsUpdateSchema` so it round-trips through PATCH /api/settings.
+  - `envOverrides` (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*`) are now passed to Claude via tmux env exports at spawn time instead of being written to `<case>/.claude/settings.local.json`. Eliminates UI/disk drift; the value lives on `Session._envOverrides`, is exported by `tmux-manager.buildEnvExports()`, and is persisted in `SessionState.envOverrides`. (#74)
+
+  **Fixes**
+  - Eye icon (active-session indicator) now follows `/clear` to the new Claude conversation instead of getting stuck on the previous transcript. (#76)
+  - `tmux-manager.reconcileSessions` now uses `|` as the field separator, fixing parsing when session names contain other delimiters. (#71)
+
+  **Docs**
+  - CLAUDE.md: added `npm run knip` to the dead-code sweep table and a `Common Gotchas` entry documenting the `envOverrides` → tmux export flow.
+
+## 0.6.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Internal cleanup and release hygiene:
+  - **Dead-code sweep via knip**: added `knip.json` for dead-code detection and ran a full sweep — removed unused test files, unused scripts, and narrowed internal module exports to the minimum surface area actually consumed.
+  - **Lockfile drift prevention**: `version-packages` now runs `npm install --package-lock-only` and verifies the lockfile is in sync via `scripts/check-lockfile-sync.mjs`; CI runs the same check on every push/PR so version drift fails the build instead of reaching production. Resolves the `package-lock.json` / `package.json` version mismatch that shipped in 0.6.0.
+  - **Docs tightening**: archived 22 completed plan docs from `docs/`, corrected file/handler counts in `CLAUDE.md`, documented the lockfile step in the COM workflow, and removed footer redundancy.
+
+## 0.6.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Community contributions from @aakhter:
+  - **feat (#66): Tab reorder shortcuts** — `Ctrl+Shift+{` and `Ctrl+Shift+}` move the active session tab left/right, matching WezTerm convention. Order persists across reloads via `saveSessionOrder()`.
+  - **feat (#67): Active tab visibility + Alt+N badges** — active tab now has a bright green border with color-matched glow, and the first 9 tabs display number badges hinting at the `Alt+N` switch shortcut. Badges update on reorder/rerender.
+  - **feat (#68): Clipboard API** — new `POST /api/clipboard` accepting `{text}` broadcasts a `clipboard:write` SSE event; connected browsers attempt `navigator.clipboard.writeText()` with a manual-copy modal fallback when the page isn't focused. Auth-protected via the standard middleware. Useful for pushing snippets from remote sessions to the user's local clipboard.
+  - **fix (#65): Android Shift+key double character** — pressing `Shift+A` on attached Android keyboards no longer produces "AA". Tracks xterm-handled keydown timestamps and skips the orphaned-input listener for 50ms after a real keydown, while still catching Gboard symbol-keyboard inputs (keyCode 229).
+
+## 0.5.13
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix "Case path not found" error in Quick Start when `~/codeman-cases/` does not exist (issue #64). Two bugs in `session-ui.js`:
+  - `runClaude()` auto-create read `createCaseData.case`, but `POST /api/cases` returns `{ success, data: { case } }` — corrected to `createCaseData.data.case`.
+  - `runShell()` had no auto-create logic and would immediately throw on a missing case directory — now mirrors `runClaude()`'s create-on-demand flow.
+
+## 0.5.12
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix quick-start to resolve linked cases before codeman-cases fallback. `/api/quick-start` was always resolving `caseName` against `CASES_DIR`, ignoring entries in `~/.codeman/linked-cases.json`. Sessions started via quick-start now correctly honour linked external project directories, consistent with regular case routes.
+
+## 0.5.11
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Community contributions and security hardening:
+  - Mobile response viewer: native-scroll panel for reading full Claude responses with markdown rendering via marked.js (PR #62)
+  - PWA support: service worker caching, web app manifest, and Android home screen install (PR #59)
+  - Named Cloudflare tunnel support (PR #58)
+  - Markdown rendering for response viewer with HTML sanitization (XSS prevention) — strips dangerous elements, event handlers, and javascript: URIs
+  - Service worker switched from stale-while-revalidate to network-first caching so deploys take effect immediately
+  - Content-Disposition filename sanitization to prevent header injection in file downloads
+  - Expose session.muxName public getter, replace unsafe `as any` cast in session-routes
+  - Static import for execFile in session-routes
+  - Keyboard shortcut updates: Alt+1-9 tab switching, Shift+Enter newline
+  - Repo restructure for cleaner GitHub landing page
+  - Mobile logo, expandable history, session resume fixes
+
+## 0.5.10
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- fix: allow bracket characters in model validation regex so models like opus[1m] (1M context window) are accepted instead of silently dropped. Quote the model flag value in tmux spawn commands to prevent bash glob expansion of bracket patterns.
+
+  docs: update macOS launchd instructions to use `launchctl bootstrap` instead of deprecated `load`. Clean up README install and service sections.
+
+## 0.5.9
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Mobile keyboard accessory bar: add configurable "Extended Keyboard Bar" setting (Settings > Display > Input) that toggles between simple mode (up/down arrows, /init, /clear, /compact, paste, dismiss) and extended mode (adds left/right arrows, Tab, Shift+Tab, Ctrl+O, Alt+Enter, Esc). Default is simple mode. Setting is device-specific (not synced to server).
+
+  Restyle dismiss button: muted steel-blue tone, fills remaining bar space via flex, larger tap target. Arrow buttons now blue.
+
+  Fix paste overlay visibility on mobile: dialog repositioned to top of screen (15vh from top) so the virtual keyboard doesn't cover it. Textarea enlarged for better usability.
+
+  (Also includes all v0.5.8 changes: case reorder/delete, XSS sanitization, auto-attach PTY on restart, mobile keyboard buttons, macOS installer fixes, terminal flicker fix, state store collision fix.)
+
+## 0.5.8
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Case management: add Manage tab with reorder (up/down arrows) and delete for cases; linked cases are unlinked (folder preserved), CASES_DIR cases are permanently deleted. New endpoints: DELETE /api/cases/:name, PUT /api/cases/order. SSE events: case:deleted, case:order-changed.
+
+  Security: sanitize case names from filesystem with /^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$/ regex before returning from GET /api/cases to prevent XSS via maliciously-named directories reaching frontend inline onclick handlers.
+
+  Auto-attach PTY: server now calls startInteractive() for recovered tmux sessions during startup so all sessions resume capturing output immediately after deploy, instead of waiting for client selection. Frontend auto-attach condition relaxed from (pid===null && status==='idle') to (pid===null && !\_ended).
+
+  Mobile keyboard accessory: add Shift+Tab, Tab, Esc, Alt+Enter, Left/Right arrow, and Ctrl+O buttons.
+
+  Terminal: fix flicker regression by moving viewport clear inside dimension guard.
+
+  State store: fix temp file collisions on concurrent writes.
+
+  macOS: fix installer failures when piped via curl | bash, add HTML cache support, launchd service template, and trust dialog handling.
+
+  Housekeeping: remove accidentally committed dist/state-store.js build artifact.
+
+## 0.5.7
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- feat: support "Default (CLI default)" option for model selection. Adds a new empty-value option to the model dropdown that defers to the CLI's own default model instead of forcing a specific model. Ensures empty defaultModel values are treated as undefined when passed to session creation and Ralph loop start, preventing empty strings from being sent as model flags.
+
+## 0.5.6
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- fix: default new sessions to opus[1m] (1M context window) instead of plain opus (200k context)
+
+## 0.5.5
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Add 1M Opus context quick setting — per-case and global toggle that writes `model: "opus[1m]"` to `.claude/settings.local.json` when creating new sessions. Fix mobile layout: banners (respawn, timer, orchestrator) between header and main content now visible by switching from margin-top on `.main` to padding-top on `.app`. Add tablet-optimized respawn banner styles and mobile phone banner refinements.
+
+## 0.5.4
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix terminal flicker regression — re-add server-side DEC 2026 synchronized output wrapping around batched terminal data. Ink spinner frames (cursor-up + redraw cycles) do not emit their own DEC 2026 markers, so without the server wrapper each partial cursor update rendered individually causing visible flicker. Also: extract SSE stream management, session listener wiring, and respawn event wiring from server.ts into dedicated modules; deduplicate error message extraction across 7 files with shared getErrorMessage() helper; update SSE event count in CLAUDE.md (106 → 117).
+
+## 0.5.3
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Readability refactor across 12 core files, extracting ~35 helper methods to reduce duplication:
+  - state-store: extract serializeState(), split assembleStateJson() into focused sub-methods
+  - session: extract \_resetBuffers() (3x dedup), \_clearAllTimers() (10 timer cleanups), \_handleJsonMessage()
+  - ralph-tracker: extract completeAllTodos() (4x dedup), emitValidationWarning(), named similarity constants
+  - subagent-watcher: extract markSubagentAsCompleted(), extractFirstTextContent(), emitToolResult(), findOldestInactiveAgent()
+  - respawn-controller: extract recoveryResetToWatching(), canAutoAccept(), formatRemainingSeconds(), validatePositiveTimeout()
+  - tmux-manager: replace 15 path.includes() with UNSAFE_PATH_CHARS regex, extract buildEnvExports/buildPathExport/\_configureOpenCode helpers
+  - session-auto-ops: extract executeWhenIdle() shared retry helper, convert to options object, add validateThreshold()
+  - app.js: add \_clearTimer() (11 call sites), \_isStaleSelect(), keyboard shortcut lookup table, \_cleanupPreviousSession(), \_resetAllAppState()
+  - route-helpers: add readJsonConfig() (5 inline patterns replaced), validateSessionFilePath() (2 duplicated blocks replaced)
+
+## 0.5.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Make buffer size limits configurable via CODEMAN\_\* environment variables (MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER, TRIM_TERMINAL_TO, MAX_TEXT_OUTPUT, TRIM_TEXT_TO, MAX_MESSAGES), falling back to existing defaults. Allows users with fewer sessions or more RAM to tune buffer sizes without patching source.
+
+  Fix duplicate terminal output on tab switch to busy sessions by clearing the terminal before writing the new buffer.
+
+  Fix stale Ink CUP frames after tab switch by sending Ctrl+L to force a clean redraw.
+
+  Fix mobile CJK input handling: resolve textarea positioning, terminal flicker during composition, and layout overflow on small screens. Improve CJK composition lifecycle with better event handling and fallback flush timers.
+
+## 0.5.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- refactor: codebase cleanup — extract route helpers, eliminate boilerplate, optimize hot paths
+  - Add `parseBody()` helper to route-helpers.ts: validates request body against Zod schema with structured 400 error on failure, replacing 37 identical safeParse + error-check blocks across 10 route files
+  - Add `persistAndBroadcastSession()` helper: combines persist + SessionUpdated broadcast into one call, replacing 5 repeated 2-line pairs
+  - Migrate session-routes.ts to use `findSessionOrFail()` consistently (17 inline session lookups replaced) and `parseBody()` (12 patterns)
+  - Migrate ralph-routes.ts to use `findSessionOrFail()` (9 lookups) and `parseBody()` (4 patterns)
+  - Migrate 8 remaining route files to use `parseBody()` (21 patterns total)
+  - Fix O(n log n) eviction in bash-tool-parser.ts: replace `Array.from().sort()[0]` with O(n) min-scan for oldest active tool
+  - Extract `_debouncedCall()` utility in frontend: replaces 4 manual debounce patterns (7 lines each → 1 line) in app.js, panels-ui.js, ralph-panel.js
+  - Net reduction: 208 lines removed across 16 files
+
+## 0.5.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Visual redesign with glass morphism, refined colors, and polished UI. Optimize history endpoint with buffer reuse and line iterator. Fix Ink frame search window (4KB→64KB) to prevent partial frames. Fix stale terminal data on tab switch via chunkedTerminalWrite cancellation. Improve history prompt extraction with expanded command filtering and tail scan fallback. Align case select group height to match dropdown. Fix no-control-regex lint error for ANSI strip pattern. Add browser-testing-guide to CLAUDE.md references.
+
+## 0.4.7
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- feat: improve session navigability in history and monitor panel (closes #45)
+  - History items now show the first user prompt as the title with the project path as a subtitle, making it much easier to distinguish sessions from the same project
+  - The `/api/history/sessions` endpoint extracts the first user message from each transcript JSONL, stripping system-injected XML tags and command artifacts, truncating to 120 chars
+  - Monitor panel session rows are now clickable — clicking navigates directly to that session's tab via `selectSession()`; Kill button retains independent behavior via `stopPropagation()`
+  - Updated CLAUDE.md architecture tables to reflect Orchestrator Loop additions (14 route modules, 15 type files, orchestrator domain files, orchestrator-panel.js frontend module)
+  - fix: stop subagent monitor windows from auto-opening on discovery
+  - feat: add Orchestrator Loop with phased plan execution, live progress during plan generation, and toolbar button (hidden until fully tested)
+  - fix: patch 3 production bugs found during deep audit
+  - fix: restore mobile terminal scrollback using JS scrollLines() instead of broken native scroll
+
+## 0.4.6
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix mobile keyboard scroll and layout issues:
+  - Prevent iOS Safari from scrolling the page when typing with the keyboard open (position:fixed on .app + window.scroll reset)
+  - Eliminate dead space between terminal and keyboard accessory bar by removing redundant CSS padding, tightening JS padding constant, and adding row quantization gap compensation
+  - Fix toolbar overlapping terminal content when keyboard is hidden by adding proper padding-bottom to .main, including iOS Safari bottom bar offset
+  - Strip Ink spinner bloat from terminal buffer before tailing
+  - Fix resolveCasePath priority order and suppress JSON parse warnings
+
+## 0.4.5
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix mobile keyboard toolbar positioning on iOS Safari: toolbar (Run/Stop/Run Shell) was hidden behind the accessory bar when virtual keyboard was active due to overlapping CSS positions. Remove the aggressive safety check in `updateLayoutForKeyboard()` that incorrectly dismissed keyboard state when iOS scrolled the visual viewport during typing. Add Safari-bar CSS offset to accessory bar so it properly stacks above the toolbar. Remove the double-counted Safari-bar offset when keyboard is visible since the JS transform already covers the full distance.
+
+## 0.4.4
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- fix: mobile keyboard hides terminal content on iPhone
+
+  Fixed a bug where opening the virtual keyboard on iPhone left zero visible terminal space. Two independent mechanisms were both accounting for the keyboard height: `MobileDetection.updateAppHeight()` shrunk `--app-height` to the visual viewport height, while `KeyboardHandler.updateLayoutForKeyboard()` added a large `paddingBottom`. These double-counted, leaving negative space for the terminal (user saw accessory bar + toolbar but no terminal content).
+
+  Fix: `updateAppHeight()` now skips when the keyboard is visible, and `handleViewportResize()` restores `--app-height` to the pre-keyboard value on first detection (since MobileDetection's listener fires before KeyboardHandler's). On keyboard close, `--app-height` is re-synced to the current visual viewport.
+
+## 0.4.3
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Refactor case routes: extract readLinkedCases() and resolveCasePath() helpers to eliminate 6x duplicated linked-cases.json path construction and 5x duplicated file read/parse logic. Replace O(n) .some() duplicate check with O(1) Set.has() in case listing. Un-export unused isError() type guard. Standardize reply.status() to reply.code() in system routes. Update CLAUDE.md frontend module listing and SSE event count.
+
+## 0.4.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Extract monolithic app.js (~12.5K lines) into 6 focused domain modules that extend CodemanApp.prototype via Object.assign: terminal-ui.js (terminal setup, rendering pipeline, controls), respawn-ui.js (respawn banner, countdown, presets, run summary), ralph-panel.js (Ralph state panel, fix_plan, plan versioning), settings-ui.js (app settings, visibility, web push, tunnel/QR, help), panels-ui.js (subagent panel, teams, insights, file browser, log viewer), session-ui.js (quick start, session options, case settings). Fix critical deferred script init ordering bug: wrap CodemanApp instantiation in DOMContentLoaded so all defer'd mixin modules execute their Object.assign before the constructor runs. Guard missing cleanupWizardDragging() call in subagent-windows.js. Update build.mjs to minify/hash all new modules.
+
+## 0.4.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Performance optimizations: V8 compile cache for 10-20% faster cold starts, lazy-load WebGL addon (244KB saved on mobile), preload hints for critical scripts, batch tmux reconciliation (N subprocess calls → 1). Also: WebSocket session lifecycle fixes, CJK IME input support, CI upgrade to Node 24/actions v6, install.sh fork support, and CLAUDE.md/README documentation refresh.
+
+## 0.4.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Add CJK IME input textarea for xterm.js terminal (env toggle INPUT_CJK_FORM=ON). Always-visible textarea below terminal handles native browser IME composition, forwarding completed text to PTY on Enter. Supports arrow keys, Ctrl combos, backspace passthrough, and Escape to clear.
+
+  Add fork installation support to install.sh with CODEMAN_REPO_URL and CODEMAN_BRANCH env vars, allowing custom repository and branch for git clone/update operations. README updated with fork installation instructions.
+
+  Fix WebSocket session lifecycle: close WS connections when session exits (prevents orphaned listeners and stale writes to dead PTY), add readyState guard in onTerminal to stop buffering after socket closes, simplify heartbeat by removing redundant alive flag.
+
+  Add WebSocket reconnection with exponential backoff (1s-10s) on unexpected close, skipping server rejection codes (4004/4008/4009). Falls back gracefully to SSE+POST during reconnection.
+
+  Clear CJK textarea on session switch to prevent sending stale text to wrong session.
+
+## 0.3.12
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Add WebSocket terminal I/O with server-side DEC 2026 synchronized update markers. Replaces per-keystroke HTTP POST + SSE terminal output with a single bidirectional WebSocket connection for dramatically lower input latency. Server-side 8ms micro-batching with 16KB flush threshold groups rapid PTY events into single WS frames wrapped in DEC 2026 markers for flicker-free atomic rendering. Includes 30s ping/pong heartbeat with 10s timeout for stale connection detection through tunnels. Existing SSE + HTTP POST paths remain fully functional as transparent fallback. Resize messages validated to match HTTP route bounds (cols 1-500, rows 1-200, integers only). 16 automated route tests added for WS endpoint. Also patches 5 dependency vulnerabilities (basic-ftp, fastify, minimatch, serialize-javascript).
+
+## 0.3.11
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- ### Session Resume & History
+  - Add `resumeSessionId` support for conversation resume after reboot
+  - Add history session resume UI and API with route shell sessions routing fix
+  - Improve session resume reliability and persist user settings across refresh
+  - Correct `claudeSessionId` for resumed sessions
+
+  ### Terminal & Frontend
+  - Upgrade xterm.js 5.3 → 6.0 with native DEC 2026 synchronized output
+  - Increase terminal scrollback from 5,000 to 20,000 lines
+  - Reduce default font size and persist tab state across refresh
+  - Resolve terminal resize scrollback ghost renders
+  - Hide subagent monitor panel by default
+
+  ### Installer
+  - Auto-detect existing install and run update instead of fresh install
+  - Auto-restart codeman-web service after update if running
+  - Show restart command when codeman-web is not a systemd service
+  - Fix one-liner restart command for background processes
+
+  ### Codebase Quality
+  - Remove dead code, consolidate imports, extract constants
+  - Repair 15 pre-existing subagent-watcher test failures
+  - Clean up DEC sync dead code

 ## Common Gotchas

 - **Single-line prompts only** — `writeViaMux()` sends text+Enter separately; multi-line breaks Ink
 - **ESM only** — Never `require()`, use `await import()`. `tsx` masks CJS/ESM issues in dev but production breaks
 - **Package ≠ product name** — npm: `aicodeman`, product: **Codeman**. Release renames tags accordingly
- **Global regex `lastIndex`** — Use `createAnsiPatternFull/Simple()` factories, not shared `g`-flag patterns in loops
+- **Global regex `lastIndex`** — Shared `g`-flag patterns in loops must reset `lastIndex = 0` first, or use the `execPattern()` helper in `utils/regex-patterns.ts` (resets automatically)
+- **`envOverrides` flow `CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*` env vars** — Set via `POST /api/sessions { envOverrides }`, stored on `Session._envOverrides`, exported by `tmux-manager.buildEnvExports()` at spawn time, persisted in `SessionState.envOverrides`. **Do NOT** write these to `<case>/.claude/settings.local.json` — that's the old path and creates UI/disk drift
+- **Dual-CLI prefix discipline** — Codeman supports both Claude Code and OpenCode (`claude-cli-resolver.ts` / `opencode-cli-resolver.ts`); env-var prefix is CLI-specific (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*`) and the allowlist in `schemas.ts` enforces this. When adding settings, decide which CLI(s) it applies to and gate the env export accordingly — don't blindly forward both prefixes
+- **Zod `.optional()` rejects `null`** — accepts `undefined` only. When the frontend builds a request body with `JSON.stringify`, an explicit `null` field is preserved on the wire and fails validation with `INVALID_INPUT`. Convert `null` → `undefined` before stringifying (e.g. `field: value ?? undefined`), or declare the schema `.nullish()`. Real bugs caused: 0.6.4 (`durationMinutes` for ∞ respawn), and the same shape pattern hit `opusContext1mEnabled` in 0.6.3
+- **`xterm-zerolag-input` is duplicated** — the local-echo overlay lives in BOTH `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` (published to npm as a standalone library for external consumers — see README "Published Packages") AND inline inside `src/web/public/app.js` (runtime copy the web UI actually loads, since the page ships as plain JS without a bundler). Any change to overlay behavior MUST be applied to both, or dev and prod diverge — and a public API break in the package warrants a separate version bump for `xterm-zerolag-input` in the changeset. Always test on mobile after touching it.

 **Import conventions**: Utils from `./utils`, types from `./types` (barrel), config from specific `./config/*` files.

 Every session runs inside **tmux** — sessions survive server restarts, network drops, and machine sleep. Auto-recovery on startup with dual redundancy. Ghost session discovery finds orphaned tmux sessions. Managed sessions are environment-tagged so the agent won't kill its own session.

+### Hostname-Aware Window Title
+
+Running Codeman on multiple hosts (laptop, dev box, NAS)? The browser tab title is `codeman:<hostname>` so you can tell which backend each tab points at without clicking in:
+
+```bash
+codeman web                                # codeman:<os.hostname()>
+codeman web --title-hostname dev-box       # codeman:dev-box (manual override for noisy hostnames)
+```
+
+The title is templated into the served HTML on first byte, so it's correct from the very first paint and works without JavaScript. The same hostname prefix is applied to the tab-flash format (`⚠️ (N) codeman:<host>`) and to OS-level desktop notifications (`codeman:<host>: <event>`), so cross-host alerts in the system notification center are also unambiguous.

+# Codeman Performance Optimization Plan
+
+## Current State
+
+The backend is **already production-grade** — SSE broadcasting, state persistence, terminal batching, buffer management, and memory patterns are all well-optimized. The biggest gains are on the **frontend delivery** side.
+
+## Implemented Optimizations
+
+### 1. V8 Compile Cache (10-20% faster cold start)
+
+**Files:** `scripts/codeman-web.service`, `package.json`
+
+Node.js re-parses and compiles all JS on every cold start. `NODE_COMPILE_CACHE` caches V8 compiled bytecode to disk, reusing it on subsequent starts.
+
+- Added `Environment=NODE_COMPILE_CACHE=/home/arkon/.codeman/compile-cache` to systemd service
+- Added to `npm start` script for non-systemd usage
+- Zero code changes, immediate win on every restart
+
+### 2. WebGL Addon Lazy-Loading (244KB saved on mobile, non-blocking on desktop)
+
+**Files:** `src/web/public/index.html`, `src/web/public/app.js`
+
+`xterm-addon-webgl.min.js` (244KB) was loaded eagerly for all users via `<script defer>`, but only used on desktop with WebGL2 support.
+
+- Removed `<script defer>` from `index.html`
+- Added dynamic script loading in `app.js` — only downloads on desktop when WebGL is needed
+- Mobile users never download the file at all (244KB saved)
+- Desktop: loads in parallel with page rendering, addon initializes when ready
+- Graceful fallback: canvas renderer used if WebGL unavailable or script fails
+
+### 3. Preload Hints (~50-100ms faster perceived load)
+
+**Files:** `src/web/public/index.html`
+
+Browser discovers `<script defer>` tags only when the parser reaches them at the bottom of `<body>`. By then, the HTML parse has blocked for hundreds of lines.
+
+- Added `<link rel="preload" as="script">` in `<head>` for `vendor/xterm.min.js`, `constants.js`, `app.js`
+- Browser starts fetching critical scripts immediately during HTML parse (before reaching `<body>`)
+- Zero runtime overhead — just hints for the browser's preload scanner
+
+### 4. Batch Tmux Reconciliation (N subprocess calls → 1)
+
+**Files:** `src/tmux-manager.ts`
+
+`reconcileSessions()` previously called `tmux has-session` + `tmux display-message` per known session, plus `tmux list-sessions` for discovery, plus `tmux display-message` per discovered session. With 20 sessions: 41+ subprocess calls.
+
+- Replaced with single `tmux list-panes -a -F '#{session_name}\t#{pane_pid}'` call
+- Builds a Map from the result, then does O(1) lookups for both known and discovered sessions
+- Also replaced inner O(n) `isKnown` scan with a Set lookup
+- 20 sessions: 41 subprocess calls → 1, with faster lookups
+
+### 5. Asset Hashing / Cache Busting (already implemented)
+
+**Files:** `scripts/build.mjs` (pre-existing)
+
+Content-hash cache busting was already implemented in the build script:
+- All app JS/CSS files get content hashes (`app.abc123.js`)
+- `index.html` rewritten to reference hashed filenames
+- Pre-compressed with gzip + Brotli
+- 1-year immutable cache works correctly — new deploys get new filenames
+
+## Already Optimized (No Action Needed)
+
+| Area | Why It's Fine |
+|------|---------------|
+| **SSE Broadcasting** | Single serialization per broadcast, preformatted frames, backpressure handling, session subscription filtering |
+| **State Persistence** | 500ms debounce, incremental per-session JSON caching, async atomic writes, circuit breaker on failures |
+| **Terminal Batching** | Adaptive intervals (16-50ms), per-session queues, immediate flush at 32KB, array-based accumulation |
+| **Buffer Management** | BufferAccumulator (array-push, lazy join), auto-trim at 2MB/1MB, no string concatenation in hot paths |
+| **ANSI Stripping** | Pre-compiled regex via factory functions, single-pass processing |
+| **Static File Serving** | @fastify/static with 1-year cache, pre-compressed Brotli/gzip, no-cache for HTML |
+| **Memory Management** | CleanupManager, LRUMap, StaleExpirationMap, bounded buffers, explicit listener cleanup |
+| **Import Patterns** | Pure ESM, lazy web server import, no circular deps, no dynamic imports in hot paths |
+| **Config Loading** | Small constant files, no I/O at import time, specific imports (no barrel) |

+
+### 1. User Submits Goal
+

+User → POST /api/orchestrator/start { goal: "Build a REST API...", config: {...} }
+  → OrchestratorLoop.start(goal)
+    → state = PLANNING
+    → emit('stateChanged', 'planning')
+    → SSE: orchestrator:stateChanged
+```
+
+### 2. Planning Phase
+
+```
+OrchestratorPlanner.generatePlan(goal)
+  → PlanOrchestrator.generateDetailedPlan(goal)
+    → [Research Agent] → enriched task description
+    → [Planner Agent] → PlanItem[]
+  → groupIntoPhases(planItems)
+    → topological sort by dependencies
+    → group into layers
+    → assign team strategies
+  → OrchestratorPlan { phases: [...] }
+  → state = APPROVAL
+  → emit('planReady', plan)
+  → SSE: orchestrator:planReady
+```
+
+### 3. User Approves Plan
+
+```
+User → POST /api/orchestrator/approve
+  → OrchestratorLoop.approvePlan()
+    → state = EXECUTING
+    → executePhase(phases[0])
+```
+
+### 4. Phase Execution
+
+```
+executePhase(phase)
+  → For each task in phase:
+    → Convert to CreateTaskOptions
+    → Add to TaskQueue with completion phrase "PHASE_{N}_TASK_{M}_DONE"
+  → If phase.teamStrategy.type === 'team':

+    → Send team orchestration prompt to lead
+  → Else:
+    → Assign tasks to available sessions (same as RalphLoop)
+
+  → Listen for task completion events:
+    → TaskQueue emits taskCompleted
+    → Check: all phase tasks done?
+      → Yes → state = VERIFYING → verifyPhase(phase)
+      → No → wait for more completions
+```
+
+### 5. Verification
+
+```
+verifyPhase(phase)
+  → OrchestratorVerifier.verify(phase, session)
+    → Run test commands via session
+    → Check file existence
+    → AI review (optional)
+  → If passed:
+    → phase.status = 'passed'
+    → emit('phaseCompleted', phase)
+    → If more phases: executePhase(nextPhase)
+    → If last phase: state = COMPLETED
+  → If failed:
+    → phase.attempts++
+    → If attempts < maxAttempts:
+      → state = REPLANNING
+      → Generate recovery tasks
+      → state = EXECUTING (retry)
+    → Else:
+      → state = FAILED
+      → emit('phaseFailed', phase, reason)
+```
+
+### 6. Context Management Between Phases
+
+```
+After phase completion:
+  → If config.compactBetweenPhases:
+    → session.sendInput('/compact')
+    → Wait for compact to complete
+  → If config.respawnBetweenMilestones && phase is a milestone:
+    → Save orchestrator state to StateStore
+    → Respawn session (kill + recreate)
+    → Send resume prompt with phase context

+## Prompt Flow Through System
+
+The key insight is how prompts flow from Orchestrator → Session → Claude:
+
+```
+OrchestratorLoop decides to execute Phase 3, Task 2
+  │
+  ▼
+Converts OrchestratorTask to CreateTaskOptions:
+  {
+    prompt: "Implement the rate limiter middleware. Read src/middleware/auth.ts
+             for the pattern. Add to src/middleware/rate-limiter.ts. Must export
+             a Fastify plugin. When done: <promise>PHASE_3_TASK_2_DONE</promise>",
+    priority: 100,
+    dependencies: ["phase-3-task-1"],  // Must finish auth middleware first
+    completionPhrase: "PHASE_3_TASK_2_DONE",
+    timeoutMs: 600000  // 10 minutes
+  }
+  │
+  ▼
+TaskQueue.addTask(options)
+  │
+  ▼
+RalphLoop.tick() → assignTasks()  // OR OrchestratorLoop does its own assignment
+  │
+  ▼
+session.sendInput(task.prompt)
+  │
+  ▼
+writeViaMux() → tmux send-keys -l "prompt..." + Enter
+  │
+  ▼
+Claude CLI receives prompt, executes, outputs results
+  │
+  ▼
+RalphTracker.processData() → detects "PHASE_3_TASK_2_DONE"
+  │
+  ▼
+emit('completionDetected') → OrchestratorLoop.handleTaskCompleted()
+  │
+  ▼
+Check: all tasks in Phase 3 done? → If yes → verifyPhase(phase3)
+```
+
+## Team Agent Flow (When Enabled)
+
+```
+Phase has teamStrategy.type === 'team'
+  │
+  ▼
+OrchestratorLoop creates/reuses a session with:
+  env: { CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS: '1' }
+  │
+  ▼
+Sends team orchestration prompt:
+  "You're the team lead for Phase 3: Core Implementation.
+
+   Your team should work on these tasks in parallel:
+   1. Rate limiter middleware (teammate 1)
+   2. Error handling middleware (teammate 2)
+   3. Validation layer (teammate 3)
+
+   Context files to read first: [...]
+   Each teammate should output their task's completion phrase when done.
+   When ALL tasks are complete, output: <promise>PHASE_3_COMPLETE</promise>"
+  │
+  ▼
+Claude Code team-lead spawns teammates
+  │
+  ▼
+TeamWatcher detects new team in ~/.claude/teams/
+  → Matches to session via leadSessionId
+  → Tracks teammate activity
+  │
+  ▼
+Teammates work in parallel (in-process threads)
+  │
+  ▼
+hook: teammate_idle → POST /api/hook-event
+  → OrchestratorLoop notes teammate finished
+  │
+  ▼
+hook: task_completed → POST /api/hook-event
+  → Or: RalphTracker detects PHASE_3_COMPLETE
+  → OrchestratorLoop → phase complete → verify
+```
+
+## Error Recovery Strategy
+
+```
+Task fails (timeout, error, session crash)
+  │
+  ├─ Task-level retry (up to 2 retries per task)
+  │   → Reset task to pending
+  │   → Re-queue with modified prompt: "Previous attempt failed: {error}. Try again..."
+  │
+  ├─ Phase-level retry (up to 3 retries per phase)
+  │   → Respawn session (fresh context)
+  │   → Re-execute entire phase with learnings from failure
+  │   → Modified prompt includes what went wrong
+  │
+  └─ Orchestration-level failure
+      → All retries exhausted
+      → state = FAILED
+      → Notify user with detailed failure report
+      → User can: modify plan → retry, skip phase → continue, or stop
+```
+
+## Interaction with Ralph Loop
+
+Ralph Loop and Orchestrator Loop are **mutually exclusive** on the same sessions:
+
+```
+if (orchestratorLoop.isRunning()) {
+  // Orchestrator controls task assignment
+  // Ralph Loop should not interfere
+  // Respawn Controller uses 'orchestrator' preset
+}
+
+if (ralphLoop.isRunning()) {
+  // Ralph controls task assignment
+  // Orchestrator should not start
+}
+```
+
+The Orchestrator can optionally USE the Ralph Loop internally for phase execution (delegate phase tasks to Ralph's queue), or manage task assignment directly. Decision: **manage directly** — gives more control over phase boundaries and verification timing.

+# Orchestrator Loop — Detailed Implementation Plan (v2)
+
+> Internal research/planning document. Not for GitHub.
+
+## Vision
+
+The **Orchestrator Loop** is a new autonomous execution mode that transforms high-level user goals into phased, verified, team-coordinated implementations. Unlike Ralph Loop (flat task queue → idle sessions), the Orchestrator manages the full lifecycle: **plan → approve → execute → verify → adapt → complete**.

+## New Files (Implementation Order)
+
+### Step 1: `src/types/orchestrator.ts` — Type definitions
+All interfaces above. No dependencies. ~120 lines.
+
+### Step 2: `src/orchestrator-planner.ts` — Plan generation + phase grouping
+~300 lines. Wraps existing PlanOrchestrator.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @fileoverview Orchestrator plan generation — converts goals into phased plans.
+ *
+ * Uses PlanOrchestrator for AI plan generation, then groups PlanItems into
+ * sequential phases with team strategies and verification criteria.
+ *
+ * @module orchestrator-planner
+ */
+
+export class OrchestratorPlanner {
+  constructor(mux: TerminalMultiplexer, workingDir: string, config: OrchestratorConfig);
+
+  /** Generate plan from goal. Uses PlanOrchestrator internally. */
+  async generatePlan(goal: string, onProgress?: ProgressCallback): Promise<OrchestratorPlan>;
+
+  /** Cancel in-progress plan generation. */
+  async cancel(): Promise<void>;
+
+  // Internal
+  private groupIntoPhases(items: PlanItem[], goal: string): OrchestratorPhase[];
+  private assignTeamStrategies(phases: OrchestratorPhase[]): void;
+  private generateCompletionPhrases(plan: OrchestratorPlan): void;
+}
+```
+
+**Phase grouping algorithm:**
+1. Topological sort by `PlanItem.dependencies`
+2. Group into dependency layers (Kahn's algorithm)
+3. Within each layer, sub-group by `tddPhase` (setup → test → impl → verify → review)
+4. Merge adjacent small phases (< 2 tasks) if they share the same tddPhase
+5. Assign team strategies:
+   - 1-2 tasks → `{ type: 'single' }`
+   - 3+ independent tasks → `{ type: 'parallel', maxSessions: Math.min(taskCount, config.maxParallelSessions) }`
+   - 4+ tasks with high complexity → `{ type: 'team', config: { ... } }`
+6. Generate unique completion phrases per task: `ORCH_P{phaseOrder}_T{taskIndex}`
+
+### Step 3: `src/orchestrator-verifier.ts` — Phase verification
+~200 lines.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @fileoverview Orchestrator phase verification.
+ *
+ * Runs verification checks after each phase completes:
+ * test commands, AI review, and file existence checks.
+ *
+ * @module orchestrator-verifier
+ */
+
+export class OrchestratorVerifier {
+  constructor(config: OrchestratorConfig);
+
+  /** Run all verification checks for a completed phase. */
+  async verifyPhase(
+    phase: OrchestratorPhase,
+    session: Session,
+    mode: 'strict' | 'moderate' | 'lenient'
+  ): Promise<VerificationResult>;
+
+  // Verification strategies
+  private async runTestCommands(commands: string[], session: Session): Promise<VerificationCheck[]>;
+  private async aiReview(phase: OrchestratorPhase, session: Session): Promise<VerificationCheck>;
+}
+```
+
+**Verification modes:**
+- `strict`: ALL test commands must pass AND AI review must approve
+- `moderate`: Test commands must pass, AI review is advisory
+- `lenient`: At least one test command passes, AI review skipped
+
+**AI review prompt (sent as a task to the session):**
+```
+Review Phase "{phase.name}" completion. Check:
+1. Expected functionality works
+2. No obvious regressions
+3. Code quality is acceptable
+
+Criteria: {phase.verificationCriteria.join('\n')}
+
+If ALL criteria are met, respond: ORCH_VERIFY_PASS
+If ANY criteria fail, respond: ORCH_VERIFY_FAIL and explain what failed.
+```
+
+### Step 4: `src/orchestrator-loop.ts` — Core state machine
+~500 lines. Main orchestrator engine.
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @fileoverview Orchestrator Loop — phased plan execution with team agents.

+ * phase-by-phase with verification gates, and adapts on failure.

+```
+
+**Key execution flow in `executePhase()`:**
+1. Mark phase as `executing`, emit `phaseStarted`
+2. For each task in phase:
+   - Create a `CreateTaskOptions` from `OrchestratorTask`
+   - Add to `TaskQueue` with proper dependencies + completion phrase
+   - Store the TaskQueue task ID in `OrchestratorTask.queueTaskId`
+3. Poll task completion (listen to TaskQueue events)
+4. When all tasks complete → call `onPhaseTasksComplete()`
+5. `onPhaseTasksComplete()` triggers verification
+
+**How tasks get assigned to sessions:**
+The OrchestratorLoop does NOT manage session assignment directly. It adds tasks to the existing TaskQueue and starts a mini poll loop that assigns pending tasks to idle sessions — the same pattern as RalphLoop's `assignTasks()`. This reuses existing session management.
+
+**Team agent flow:**
+For phases with `teamStrategy.type === 'team'`:
+- Start a single session with `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`
+- Instead of adding individual tasks to TaskQueue, send ONE comprehensive prompt to the lead
+- The prompt instructs the lead to create teammates and delegate
+- Monitor via TeamWatcher for team task completion + hook events
+- Phase completion is detected via the lead's completion phrase
+
+### Step 5: `src/web/routes/orchestrator-routes.ts` — API endpoints
+~300 lines.
+
+```
+POST   /api/orchestrator/start          — { goal, config? } → start planning
+POST   /api/orchestrator/approve        — approve generated plan
+POST   /api/orchestrator/reject         — { feedback } → reject + replan
+POST   /api/orchestrator/pause          — pause execution
+POST   /api/orchestrator/resume         — resume execution
+POST   /api/orchestrator/stop           — stop orchestration
+GET    /api/orchestrator/status         — full state + plan + stats
+GET    /api/orchestrator/plan           — plan details only
+POST   /api/orchestrator/phase/:id/skip — skip a phase
+POST   /api/orchestrator/phase/:id/retry — retry a failed phase
+```
+
+Port dependency: `SessionPort & EventPort & RespawnPort & ConfigPort & InfraPort`
+
+The route module receives the OrchestratorLoop instance via the InfraPort (added to `createRouteContext()`).
+
+### Step 6: SSE Events — `src/web/sse-events.ts` additions
+
+```typescript
+// ─── Orchestrator ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+
+/** Orchestrator state machine transitioned. */
+export const OrchestratorStateChanged = 'orchestrator:stateChanged' as const;
+/** Orchestrator plan generated and ready for approval. */
+export const OrchestratorPlanReady = 'orchestrator:planReady' as const;
+/** Orchestrator phase started executing. */
+export const OrchestratorPhaseStarted = 'orchestrator:phaseStarted' as const;
+/** Orchestrator phase completed successfully. */
+export const OrchestratorPhaseCompleted = 'orchestrator:phaseCompleted' as const;
+/** Orchestrator phase failed. */
+export const OrchestratorPhaseFailed = 'orchestrator:phaseFailed' as const;
+/** Orchestrator verification result for a phase. */
+export const OrchestratorVerification = 'orchestrator:verification' as const;
+/** Orchestrator task assigned to session. */
+export const OrchestratorTaskAssigned = 'orchestrator:taskAssigned' as const;
+/** Orchestrator task completed. */
+export const OrchestratorTaskCompleted = 'orchestrator:taskCompleted' as const;
+/** Orchestrator task failed. */
+export const OrchestratorTaskFailed = 'orchestrator:taskFailed' as const;
+/** All phases completed successfully. */
+export const OrchestratorCompleted = 'orchestrator:completed' as const;
+/** Orchestrator error. */
+export const OrchestratorError = 'orchestrator:error' as const;
+```
+
+11 new events. Add to `SseEvent` namespace object + mirror in `constants.js`.
+
+### Step 7: State persistence — `src/state-store.ts` additions
+
+Add to `AppState`:
+```typescript
+orchestrator?: OrchestratorPersistState;
+```
+
+Add methods:
+```typescript
+getOrchestratorState(): OrchestratorPersistState | null;
+setOrchestratorState(state: Partial<OrchestratorPersistState>): void;
+clearOrchestratorState(): void;
+```
+
+### Step 8: Server integration — `src/web/server.ts` modifications
+
+1. Import `OrchestratorLoop` and `registerOrchestratorRoutes`
+2. Add `private orchestratorLoop: OrchestratorLoop` field
+3. Initialize in constructor (lazy — created on first start, not at boot)
+4. Add to `createRouteContext()` InfraPort: `orchestratorLoop: this.orchestratorLoop`
+5. Wire up OrchestratorLoop events → SSE broadcasts
+6. Register routes: `registerOrchestratorRoutes(this.app, ctx)`
+7. Clean up in `stop()`
+
+### Step 9: `src/web/public/orchestrator-ui.js` — Frontend panel
+~500 lines. New frontend module.
+
+**Load order**: After `panels-ui.js` (11), before `ralph-wizard.js` (13). So load order = 11.5.
+
+**UI elements:**
+- Goal input form (text area + config toggles)
+- Plan approval view (phase list, task details, approve/reject buttons)
+- Execution dashboard (progress bar, phase cards, task status indicators)
+- Agent activity panel (session count, team status)
+- Controls (pause, resume, stop, skip phase, retry phase)
+
+**SSE listeners:**
+- All 11 orchestrator events → update UI state
+- Reuses existing session/respawn/team event handlers for agent monitoring
+
+### Step 10: `src/prompts/orchestrator.ts` — Prompt templates
+~200 lines.
+
+Templates for:
+- Phase execution prompt (tells Claude what to do in this phase)
+- Team lead delegation prompt (instructs lead to create and coordinate teammates)
+- Verification prompt (asks Claude to verify phase output)
+- Replan prompt (gives failure context, asks for recovery steps)
+
+### Step 11: Constants, schemas, route barrel updates
+
+- `src/web/public/constants.js` — Add 11 SSE event mirrors
+- `src/web/schemas.ts` — Add Zod schemas for orchestrator API input validation
+- `src/web/routes/index.ts` — Export `registerOrchestratorRoutes`
+- `src/web/ports/infra-port.ts` — Add `orchestratorLoop` to InfraPort
+- `src/types/index.ts` — Export orchestrator types
+

+**Total modifications**: ~160 lines across 10 existing files
+
+## Implementation Execution Order
+
+This is the actual build order — each step is a commit checkpoint:
+
+1. **Types** — `src/types/orchestrator.ts` + barrel export. Zero risk, pure types.
+2. **SSE events** — Add all 11 events to both `sse-events.ts` and `constants.js`. Wire in SseEvent namespace.
+3. **State persistence** — Add orchestrator state to StateStore. Small, isolated change.
+4. **Schemas** — Add Zod validation schemas for API input.
+5. **Planner** — `src/orchestrator-planner.ts`. Can test in isolation.
+6. **Verifier** — `src/orchestrator-verifier.ts`. Can test in isolation.
+7. **Core loop** — `src/orchestrator-loop.ts`. The big one. Depends on planner + verifier.
+8. **Prompts** — `src/prompts/orchestrator.ts`. Templates used by core loop.
+9. **Port + routes** — `src/web/ports/infra-port.ts` update + `src/web/routes/orchestrator-routes.ts`.
+10. **Server integration** — Wire OrchestratorLoop into WebServer. Routes become live.
+11. **Frontend** — `src/web/public/orchestrator-ui.js` + app.js listeners + index.html script tag.
+12. **Tests** — `test/orchestrator-*.test.ts`.
+13. **Typecheck + lint** — Fix all issues, ensure CI passes.
+
+## Edge Cases & Error Handling
+
+- **Session limit reached**: Queue tasks and wait for sessions to free up (existing SessionManager handles this)
+- **All sessions crash during phase**: Mark phase as failed, attempt replan
+- **Verification flaky**: `moderate` mode allows test retries; `lenient` skips AI review
+- **Plan too large**: Cap at 10 phases, 50 total tasks. Warn user.
+- **Context overflow**: Auto-compact between phases. Respawn if needed (orchestrator state is external).
+- **User pauses mid-phase**: Pause task assignment, don't cancel running tasks. Resume picks up where it left off.
+- **Network/API errors during planning**: Retry plan generation up to 2 times, then fail with clear message.
+- **Orchestrator vs Ralph conflict**: Mutually exclusive. Starting orchestrator stops Ralph if running. Starting Ralph stops orchestrator.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit tests**: `test/orchestrator-planner.test.ts` — phase grouping algorithm, team strategy assignment
+- **Unit tests**: `test/orchestrator-verifier.test.ts` — verification logic with mocked sessions
+- **Integration tests**: `test/orchestrator-loop.test.ts` — state machine transitions, task lifecycle
+- **Route tests**: `test/routes/orchestrator-routes.test.ts` — API validation, status responses
+
+All tests use `MockSession` pattern from existing test infrastructure. No real tmux needed.

+# Orchestrator Loop — Research Findings
+
+> Research doc for the new "Orchestrator Loop" feature. Not for GitHub.
+
+## What We're Building
+
+A new autonomous loop variant — **Orchestrator Loop** — that takes high-level user tasks, decomposes them into a detailed plan using team agents, and executes the plan step-by-step with quality gates. Unlike Ralph Loop (which executes a flat task queue), the Orchestrator coordinates **planning, delegation, and verification** as a continuous cycle.
+
+**Core idea**: User inputs a goal → Orchestrator creates a detailed plan → spins up team agents for parallel execution → validates each step → adapts the plan based on results → delivers polished output.
+
+## Existing Infrastructure Analysis
+
+### What We Can Reuse
+
+#### 1. Ralph Loop (`src/ralph-loop.ts`)
+- **Pattern**: Poll loop with `start() → tick() → stop()` lifecycle
+- **Reusable**: Event-driven task assignment, session completion handling, timeout management
+- **Limitation**: Flat task queue — no concept of phases, dependencies between task groups, or adaptive replanning
+- **Key insight**: `assignTaskToSession()` uses `session.sendInput(task.prompt)` — simple prompt injection into PTY
+
+#### 2. Task Queue (`src/task-queue.ts`) + Task (`src/task.ts`)
+- **Already has**: Priority ordering, dependency tracking between tasks, completion phrase detection
+- **Limitation**: No task *groups* or *phases*. Dependencies are task-to-task, not phase-to-phase
+- **Key insight**: Tasks support `completionPhrase` — a string the task watches for in output. This is how Ralph knows a task is done
+
+#### 3. Plan Orchestrator (`src/plan-orchestrator.ts`)
+- **Already has**: 2-agent plan generation (Research Agent → Planner Agent), TDD-aware plan items with P0/P1/P2 priorities
+- **Output**: `PlanItem[]` with dependencies, verification criteria, TDD phases, complexity ratings
+- **Limitation**: Plan generation only — no execution. Plans are generated then sit in state/UI for human review
+- **Key insight**: Uses `Session` directly to run Claude subagent instances for research and planning. Returns structured JSON
+
+#### 4. Team Agents (`src/team-watcher.ts`, `~/.claude/teams/`)
+- **Already has**: Team creation, member tracking, filesystem inbox messaging, task management via `~/.claude/tasks/{team-name}/`
+- **Limitation**: Codeman can only *observe* teams (TeamWatcher is read-only polling), not *create* or *orchestrate* them
+- **Key insight**: Teams are a Claude Code feature. Codeman monitors them but doesn't control them. We can't programmatically create teammates — Claude Code does that when you use `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`
+
+#### 5. Respawn Controller (`src/respawn-controller.ts`)
+- **Already has**: Preset-based automation (ralph-todo, overnight-autonomous), circuit breaker, health scoring
+- **Key insight**: The `ralph-todo` preset (8s idle, 480min max) is designed for autonomous task execution. We'd need a new preset or make Orchestrator Loop set its own timing
+
+#### 6. Session Auto-Ops (`src/session-auto-ops.ts`)
+- **Already has**: Auto-compact at token thresholds, auto-clear for context management
+- **Key insight**: Critical for long Orchestrator runs — prevents context overflow during multi-step execution
+
+#### 7. Hooks (`src/hooks-config.ts`)
+- **Already has**: `idle_prompt`, `stop`, `teammate_idle`, `task_completed` hook events
+- **Key insight**: Hooks fire POST to `/api/hook-event` — this is how Codeman knows when Claude is idle, stopped, or completed a task. The Orchestrator Loop can listen to these same events
+
+### What We Need to Build New
+
+1. **Plan → Task decomposition**: Convert PlanOrchestrator output (PlanItem[]) into executable task groups with phase ordering
+2. **Multi-phase execution engine**: Execute plan phases sequentially, tasks within phases in parallel
+3. **Verification gates**: After each phase, run verification (test commands, AI review) before proceeding
+4. **Adaptive replanning**: When a task fails or verification fails, generate a recovery plan
+5. **Team agent orchestration**: Leverage Claude Code's agent teams for parallel execution within phases
+6. **Progress tracking & UI**: Real-time dashboard showing plan progress, phase status, agent activity
+
+## How Teams Actually Work (Important Constraint)
+
+After deep research, here's the reality of agent teams:
+
+```
+User starts session with CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1
+  → Claude Code creates a team-lead
+  → Team-lead spawns teammates (in-process threads)
+  → Teammates appear as subagents (detected by SubagentWatcher)
+  → Communication via ~/.claude/teams/{name}/inboxes/{member}.json
+  → Tasks tracked in ~/.claude/tasks/{team-name}/{N}.json
+```
+
+**Codeman cannot programmatically create team members.** This is a Claude Code internal feature. However, Codeman CAN:
+- Start a session that has teams enabled
+- Send a prompt to the lead that instructs it to use agent teams
+- Monitor team activity via TeamWatcher
+- React to teammate_idle and task_completed hook events
+- Read team task status from the filesystem
+
+**This means**: The Orchestrator Loop orchestrates at the *session prompt* level, not the *team member* level. We tell the lead what to do, and the lead decides how to use its team.
+
+## Architecture Decision: Prompt-Level Orchestration
+
+Given the team constraint, the Orchestrator Loop works by:
+
+1. **Planning phase**: Use PlanOrchestrator to generate a detailed plan from user input
+2. **Execution phase**: Feed plan steps as prompts to sessions, one phase at a time
+3. **Verification phase**: After each phase, run verification prompts and check results
+4. **Adaptation phase**: If verification fails, generate recovery prompts
+
+The "team agents" aspect works by:
+- Starting sessions with `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`
+- Crafting prompts that *instruct the lead to delegate* to teammates
+- Monitoring team activity to track parallel progress
+- The lead agent is smart enough to decompose work across its team
+
+## Key Technical Findings
+
+### Session Input Mechanics
+```typescript
+// From session.ts - how we send prompts
+await session.sendInput(task.prompt);  // Uses writeViaMux() internally
+// writeViaMux() does: tmux send-keys -l "prompt text" + tmux send-keys Enter
+// CRITICAL: Single-line only! Multi-line breaks Ink rendering
+```
+
+### Completion Detection Chain
+```
+PTY output → RalphTracker.processData() → completion phrase fuzzy match
+  → CompletionConfidence scoring (multi-signal: promise tag + todos + exit signal)
+  → If confident → emit 'completionDetected'
+  → RalphLoop listens → marks task complete → assigns next
+```
+
+### How Plan Items Map to Tasks
+```typescript
+// PlanItem has:
+interface PlanItem {
+  id: string;            // "P0-001"
+  content: string;       // "Implement error handling for API endpoints"
+  priority: 'P0' | 'P1' | 'P2';
+  dependencies: string[]; // ["P0-000"] — other PlanItem IDs
+  verificationCriteria: string;
+  testCommand: string;
+  tddPhase: 'setup' | 'test' | 'impl' | 'verify' | 'review';
+  complexity: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high';
+}
+
+// Task has:
+interface CreateTaskOptions {
+  prompt: string;
+  priority: number;
+  dependencies: string[];  // Task IDs
+  completionPhrase: string;
+  timeoutMs: number;
+}
+
+// Natural mapping: PlanItem.content → Task.prompt
+// PlanItem.dependencies → Task.dependencies
+// PlanItem.priority → Task.priority (P0=100, P1=50, P2=10)
+// PlanItem.verificationCriteria → verification task prompt
+```
+
+### Context Management for Long Runs
+- Auto-compact at ~110k tokens (configurable)
+- Auto-clear at ~140k tokens (configurable)
+- Respawn cycling: kill + restart session to reset context entirely
+- For Orchestrator: we want compact between phases, respawn between major milestones
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| Context overflow during complex phases | High | Auto-compact between tasks, respawn between phases |
+| Team agents not predictable | Medium | Orchestrate at session level, let Claude decide team delegation |
+| Plan too ambitious → infinite loop | High | Phase budgets (max attempts per phase), circuit breaker |
+| Verification too strict → blocks progress | Medium | Configurable strictness, human override via UI |
+| Single-line prompt limit | Medium | Use CLAUDE.md file for complex instructions, prompt references file |
+| Long planning phase delays execution | Low | Show plan for approval before execution |
