chore: version packages

- resolveCasePath now checks linked cases first (matching original behavior
  of /api/cases/:name and /api/cases/:name/fix-plan handlers)
- readLinkedCases only warns on real I/O errors, not JSON parse errors
  (SyntaxError has no .code property, so check for .code existence first)

 # aicodeman
 
+## 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.

+# 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) |
