+## 1.8.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Web tabs: open dashboard URLs as tabs beside agent sessions, plus terminal link fixes.
+
+  **Web tabs.** The Run dropdown gains a "Web / URL" section. A saved URL renders as a tab in the same strip as Claude/Codex/Gemini sessions, with the same Alt+1-9 numbering, an icon picker, and per-device tab order. Frames stay mounted while hidden (LRU-bounded), so switching tabs never reloads a dashboard.
+
+  Dashboards are proxied through Codeman's own origin, because a direct iframe fails three ways at once: an HTTPS Codeman cannot embed a plain-HTTP target (mixed content, with no override at all on iOS Safari), many dashboards send `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, and Codeman's own `default-src 'self'` CSP blocks cross-origin frames. Proxying dissolves all three and leaves the production CSP unchanged. The fetch happens server-side, so a tailnet-only or localhost-only dashboard is reachable from any device that can reach Codeman.
+
+  The proxy is not an API surface: it authenticates on a 192-bit capability in the path (memory-only, rolling TTL, bound to the minting user, revoked on edit or delete) and is exempt from the cookie and Origin checks, because a sandboxed iframe is opaque-origin and sends neither. The Host allowlist is never bypassed. Iframes omit `allow-same-origin` unless a URL is explicitly marked trusted, and `Authorization` plus the session cookie are stripped upstream in both modes so `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` cannot leak into a dashboard. Includes an HTTP and WebSocket proxy, redirect/cookie/`<base>` rewriting, a runtime URL shim for requests built by dashboard JavaScript, and CORS handling for the opaque-origin frame. New endpoints under `/api/webviews`, storage in `~/.codeman/webviews.json`, user guide in `docs/web-tabs.md`.
+
+  **Terminal links no longer truncate.** Three separate cuts, each producing a link that opened the wrong target or none at all:
+  - A single `&` ended the match, so every query string was cut. A WordPress edit link resolved to `?post=1479` and Claude Code's own `/login` URL was unusable. `&` is now part of a URL while `&&` remains a boundary.
+  - Links wider than the terminal were cut at the row boundary. The link provider now stitches continuation rows into one logical line and maps offsets back across rows. Handles both soft wraps (emulator, `isWrapped`) and hard wraps (a program wrapping its own output and emitting a newline, as Ink does), the latter being why the `/login` URL grew longer as the window was widened.
+  - Image and PDF paths were not matched at all, so pasted-screenshot paths rendered as plain text. They now link and open the file preview, which renders images inline.
+
+  **Also fixes** a pre-existing bug where `.toolbar`'s `backdrop-filter` created a stacking context that trapped the Run menu's z-index, letting the welcome overlay cover it: with no session open, every item in that menu (Claude Code included) was unclickable.
+
+## 1.8.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Mobile toolbar: a dedicated Enter button, and Shell moves into the Run dropdown.
+
+  Submitting is a constant need on a touch keyboard, so on phones (≤430px) the toolbar slot that held "Shell" now holds a dark blue **Enter** button. Starting a shell, the far rarer action, moves into the expandable Run dropdown as `Terminal / Shell` (the Run button then reads "Run SH"). Desktop and tablet are unchanged: the green Run Shell button stays exactly where it was.
+
+  Enter is replayed through the terminal's own input path rather than posted to the input API. This matters because local echo is on by default on touch devices: the characters you type are buffered client-side and have not yet reached the PTY, so sending a bare carriage return would submit an empty line and leave your text stranded on screen. Replaying the keypress flushes the buffered text first, then submits.
+
+  Installer: re-runs and updates now preserve the existing network binding instead of silently reverting it, so upgrading no longer changes how the dashboard is reachable.
+
+  Default desktop header is cleaner: the file viewer is shown by default and the plan-usage chip is unchanged, while the token-count chip and lifecycle-log button now default off. Stored preferences are still honored.
+
+  Docs and repo housekeeping: fresh phone screenshots and a new hero GIF in both READMEs, contributor and total-commit badges, and a much shorter repo root. `SECURITY.md` moved to `.github/` (GitHub resolves it there, so the Security policy tab is unaffected), `SPEEDRUN.md` to `docs/`, the knip config to `config/`, and Prettier's config into the `"prettier"` key of `package.json`. `CLAUDE.md` was split so the always-loaded guidance is roughly half its former size, with the deep implementation detail preserved verbatim in `docs/architecture-invariants.md`.
+
+## 1.8.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Installer: choose your network binding, with LAN access as the new guided default.
+
+  The install script now asks at the end of setup how the dashboard should be reachable:
+  1. Any device on your network (0.0.0.0), the default. The installer prompts for a dashboard password (hidden input, confirmed twice); declining a password requires an explicit confirmation and the install ends with a prominent warning explaining the exposure.
+  2. This machine only (127.0.0.1), the safer option for tunnel/Tailscale setups.
+
+  The choice is wired into the generated systemd unit and launchd plist (values escaped for each format), the run-now launch path, and the printed URLs, which now include the detected LAN IP for instant phone access. Non-interactive installs keep the safe loopback default unless CODEMAN_HOST is preset, and the server binary's own default binding (127.0.0.1) is unchanged, so npm and manual installs behave exactly as before. New installer env presets: CODEMAN_HOST and CODEMAN_PASSWORD skip the prompts for automation.
+
+## 1.7.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Mobile and UI polish plus docs refresh.
+  - Mobile: the header brand collapses to a single "C" home button on phones (<430px), freeing header space for session tabs while keeping the same tap target. The compact letter lives in its own span so i18n custom branding keeps rewriting only the full wordmark.
+  - UI fix: the absolutely-centered toolbar voice button no longer overlaps the case picker's chevron and "+" button. Below ~1500px (or with long case names widening the left toolbar group) it now falls back into normal flex flow where overlap is impossible; wide viewports keep the centered layout.
+  - Docs: README gains a hero pitch block with deep links, npm version + GitHub stars badges, and a star CTA; CLAUDE.md core-files table synced (Infra docker modules, app.js line count); blog article images added under docs/images/blog/.
+
+## 1.7.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Community release (thanks @shenlvkang-collab for all four PRs) plus documentation fixes.
+  - fix(mobile): per-device settings now key off a stable handheld classification (`MobileDetection.isHandheldDevice()`: touch plus UA form-factor tokens, with User-Agent Client Hints fallback) instead of the instantaneous viewport width, so an Android foldable that unfolds past the desktop breakpoint keeps `codeman-app-settings-mobile` and opt-ins such as the Response Viewer and Extended Keyboard Bar. Responsive layout stays width-driven. Adds an OPPO Find N5 (unfolded) device profile and a fold/unfold/reload Playwright regression test (mobile suite now 136 devices). (#162)
+  - fix(paths): `SAFE_PATH_PATTERN` now accepts Unicode letters and numbers (`\p{L}\p{N}` with the `u` flag), so working directories like `/mnt/d/AI/中文项目` validate in Create Session, Quick Run, and Scheduled Run. All shell-metacharacter, traversal, and absolute-path protections are unchanged. (#163)
+  - fix(ui): newly created run sessions render their tab immediately instead of waiting for the `session:created` SSE event (idempotent upsert from the POST response, with a `GET /api/sessions/:id` fallback for quick-start modes), and the Run button holds an in-flight lock (min 500 ms) so a double click cannot create duplicate sessions. (#164)
+  - feat(ui): the synced custom display name and per-device English/Simplified Chinese UI language are described in their own entry (#165); on top of that PR, `renderIndexHtml` no longer recomputes `windowTitle` on solo-session renders, so a detached window cannot reset the push-notification `hostTitle` prefix to the default name.
+  - docs: corrected the `sse-events.ts` fileoverview breakdown (148 event constants, was stale at 120; per-category counts refreshed, including Cron, Docker, Remote auto-reconnect, and Multi-user) and the CLAUDE.md SSE registry count; READMEs synced with the 1.6.2 installer behavior.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 8d9fc41: Add a synced custom display name and a per-device English/Simplified Chinese browser UI language picker under App Settings → Display.
+
+## 1.6.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Installer (install.sh) reliability and safety overhaul, prompted by a review of the Linux flow:
+  - Install-completion marker (`.install-complete`): a bare re-run only takes the quiet update path when a previous install actually finished. Previously, a first install that failed during npm install/build (or was interrupted) left `.git` behind, so the retry silently became an "update" and the user never got the launch menu, the `codeman`/`tmux-chooser` symlinks, the PATH entry, or the `sc` alias. The marker is refreshed by updates and cleared by uninstall when the app dir is kept; added to .gitignore for end-user clones.
+  - `update` no longer runs an unconditional `git reset --hard` over local changes: interactive runs are asked to stash (declining keeps everything and skips the update), headless runs auto-stash with a dated message (same policy as scripts/self-update.sh).
+  - Service setup is verified instead of asserted: after starting codeman-web, the installer polls `systemctl --user is-active` (up to 6s) and only then prints "Codeman is running now!"; failures print an honest warning plus status/journalctl hints. Uses `restart` instead of `start` so re-running the installer over an already-running service actually loads the new build. A missing user D-Bus session (e.g. bare `ssh host 'curl | bash'`) is detected up front with copy-paste recovery commands instead of dying mid-setup via `set -e`. macOS gets the equivalent `launchctl list` verification, and the update path verifies its service restart too. The Cloudflare tunnel-service offer is skipped when service setup failed.
+  - Headless consent guard: with no interactive terminal AND no explicit `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1`, the installer now refuses (with instructions) to run sudo package installs (git/node/tmux) or third-party `curl | bash` AI CLI installers, instead of silently taking the default-yes prompts. Explicit `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` keeps the previous full-auto behavior for CI/automation.
+  - AI CLI gate now recognizes Codex and Gemini (search paths mirrored from the CLI resolvers), so a box with only Codex or Gemini installed is no longer forced to install Claude Code/OpenCode. The install menu gains a "Skip" option (with npm install hints for Codex/Gemini), and the final reminder lists all four CLIs.
+
+  Docs: CLAUDE.md documents `src/remote-reconnect.ts` (pure COD-108 auto-reconnect backoff/eligibility logic) in the Infra table and the remote-sessions pattern.
+
+## 1.6.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Admin Panel for multi-user mode.** Admins in multi-user mode now get a prominent Admin Panel button at the top of the page (header, admin-only; the template ships it hidden and `admin-ui.js` reveals it after identity boot; hidden on phones per the mobile header policy, where user management stays reachable via App Settings > Users). It opens a full Admin Panel modal: a users table with role, enabled/disabled status, bypass-permissions grant, live sessions, active logins, case count, and last login; per-user actions for Promote/Demote, Enable/Disable, Grant/Revoke bypass, Reset password (copyable one-time password), Force logout, and Delete (with an optional "also delete their files" step); and a proper add-user form (role, optional password, bypass checkbox) replacing the old prompt() flow. Each user's cases open in a drawer listing their case folders (modified date, live-session badge) with per-folder delete. Two new admin endpoints back this: `GET /api/admin/users/:username/cases` and `DELETE /api/admin/users/:username/cases/:caseName`, guarded like `deleteUserSpace` (symlinks refused, realpath confined to the user's space, folders in use by a live session refused with 409, audit-logged). The panel and the App Settings Users tab live-refresh on the SSE `admin:usersChanged` event (now wired in app.js). New coverage in `test/admin-routes.test.ts` (list/delete, traversal + symlink refusal, non-admin 403) and `test/admin-ui.test.ts` (button reveal gating, panel render, case drawer); verified end to end against a live multi-user instance with curl and Playwright.
+
+  **Also in this release:** README/docs synced with 1.6.0 (remote SSH cases, session manager, permissions) and fixed installer prompts when run via `curl | bash`.
+
+  **Recap of the recent feature line, for readers catching up:**
+  - **Multi-user mode (shipped 1.5.0, opt-in `--multiuser` / `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`).** Named users with scrypt-hashed passwords, per-user case spaces under `~/codeman-users/<name>/cases`, and full ownership scoping of sessions, cases, cron jobs, scheduled runs, search, file previews, and SSE/WS streams. Non-admin users default to Claude's classifier-guarded `--permission-mode auto`; shell mode, cron `launchCommand`, and skip-permissions bypass switches require the per-user `canBypassPermissions` grant (now toggleable from the Admin Panel). Admin API with one-time passwords, last-admin invariants, and an append-only audit log; self-service `/api/me` password change; `codeman users add|passwd|list|rm` CLI. Off by default is byte-identical to single-user. Note: multi-user separates workspaces for a trusted team; it is not a security boundary (all sessions share the host OS account), so pair it with Docker cases for real isolation.
+  - **Docker cases (shipped 1.4.0/1.4.1).** A case can run inside an isolated per-case container (any of the five CLI backends), with one-click "Run in Docker" quick-create, durable in-container tmux that survives Codeman restarts and resumes conversations after container stops, hardened container creation (cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, non-root, memory/pid limits, never privileged, never the docker socket), commit-safe seeded credentials, config-drift detection, GPU passthrough, and portable export/import bundles to move a whole case between machines.
+  - **1.6.0 highlights.** Remote SSH cases with durable remote tmux (survives SSH drops, auto-reconnect, shared multi-client attach, discover + attach with detach-not-kill); the Cmd+K session palette and unified Session Manager with pinning, cross-device tab order, and first/last prompt search; full-scrollback replay; and the multi-user permission downgrade now threading through to remote launch/attach.
+
+## 1.6.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Remote tmux durability, Session Manager polish, and an opt-in Cron button.
+
+  **Remote sessions: durability, discovery, and auto-reconnect** (PR #156 by @aakhter, COD-104 to COD-109)
+  - Durable remote launches survive an SSH drop: the agent runs inside `tmux -L codeman-remote new-session -A` on the remote host, and reconnecting lands back in the same session.
+  - Discover + attach: a "Discover existing sessions" action per remote host lists `codeman-*` tmux sessions on the host's canonical socket (started by the remote's own Codeman or another instance) and attaches to one. Attached (non-owned) sessions detach on tab close, never kill; a structural early-return in `killSession()` guarantees no remote `kill-session` can ever be issued for a session Codeman doesn't own (COD-105).
+  - Shared/collaborative sessions: per-session `window-size latest` so concurrent clients at different viewports don't clamp each other, plus a "shared - N clients" badge in discovery results (COD-106).
+  - Auto-reconnect watcher: a bounded-backoff (5s to 5m, ~6 attempts) watcher detects a dead remote pane and reattaches the still-running remote tmux session; intentional kills/detaches are guarded and never revived. Kill-switch setting `remoteAutoReconnect` (default on). SSE `remote:sessionDropped`/`sessionReconnected`/`reconnectExhausted`, with a manual Reconnect toast after exhaustion (COD-108).
+  - Owned durable sessions propagate `kill-session` to the remote on close (COD-109); the remote tmux prereq probe is skipped under the test runner (COD-104).
+  - All ssh command lines continue to flow through the single shell-safe `buildSshConnectionArgs()` (COD-107). New design doc: `docs/remote-sessions.md`.
+  - Maintainer additions: the discovery endpoint is admin-gated in multi-user mode, and the remote launch/attach chooser threads the multi-user permission downgrade (`claudeMode`/`allowedTools`) through to the remote agent.
+
+  **Session Manager: pinning, cross-device ordering, name/prompt retention** (PR #157 by @aakhter, COD-131/139/140/142/143/145)
+  - Session pinning: pin a session to the top of the Session Manager list (`POST /api/sessions/:id/pin`, `session:pinned` SSE, amber highlight + pin glyph). Pinned group orders most-recently-pinned first (COD-139).
+  - Pinned sessions survive kill: killing a pinned session demotes its record to a lightweight stopped entry instead of removing it, so it stays visible and resumable; cleanup skips pinned records (COD-142). The pin route also works on these persisted-only records, so a pinned-then-killed session can always be unpinned.
+  - Cross-device tab order: tab order syncs via server state (`PUT /api/session-order`, `session:orderChanged` SSE, persisted in `state.json`); the pushing device wins and server-only ids fall to the end, never dropped (COD-131).
+  - Resuming from the Session Manager keeps the session's original name instead of always synthesizing a fresh `w<N>-<dir>` one (COD-143).
+  - firstPrompt backfill for sessions whose Codeman id is not the transcript UUID (claudeSessionId join, then newest transcript in the same workingDir), and the most recent prompt is shown alongside the first and included in search (COD-140/145).
+
+  **Cron button now opt-in** (hidden by default)
+  - The Cron footer-toolbar button follows the same opt-in pattern as the Session Manager / Away Digest / File Viewer buttons: hidden by default, enable per device under App Settings -> Display -> Header Displays. Cron jobs themselves are unchanged.
+
+  Also: `docs/remote-sessions.md` synced with the shipped `-L codeman-remote` / `codeman-ssh-<id8>` naming.
+
+## 1.5.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Docker session-mode deep-review fixes — the work intended for the skipped **1.4.2**, now merged onto the 1.5.x line — plus a recap of the multi-user mode shipped in 1.5.0.
+
+  **Docker resume actually works now.** `DockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId` was read at quick-start but never written, so the documented resume-after-container-stop never fired. Claude-mode docker panes now pin a deterministic conversation id (`claudeDockerPaneCommand()`): a fresh launch runs `claude --session-id <id> || claude --resume <id>` (a duplicate `--session-id` exits 1 "already in use", so the fallback resumes after a container stop/reboot — verified CLI behavior), an explicit resume runs `--resume <rid> || --session-id <sid>` so a stale id never dead-panes. The id is persisted at launch and again on hook / last-response conversation-id adoption. Verified end-to-end across a `docker stop` + relaunch and a full container recreate.
+
+  **Config-drift detection + recreate (was documented but entirely missing).** The `codeman.confighash` label was stamped but never read, so docker-host config edits silently never applied. Quick-start now compares via `checkDockerConfigDrift()` and refuses a drifted launch with `CONFLICT`; the UI confirms and calls the new `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/recreate` (refused while the case has live sessions), then relaunches with the new config. New SSE event `docker:containerRecreated`.
+
+  **Model picker now applies to docker sessions.** `modelOverride` was absent from `QuickStartSchema`, so the App Settings Claude Model choice was silently inert for docker runs. It is now accepted and applied via `updateCaseModel` for local and docker quick-starts (still rejected for remote, where the settings file would land on the wrong machine).
+
+  **Import hardening.** `importDockerBundle` validates the untrusted cross-machine manifest before trusting any field (`validateImportManifest`: engine/image/containerWorkdir/network/caseName/schemaVersion — a hostile `engine` could previously select the probe binary); the outer bundle tar gets the same member-traversal guard as the inner workspace tar; the quarantine image tag derives from the schema-validated case name.
+
+  **Remote-daemon correctness.** All docker probes and the base-image auto-build now honor a host's `context`/`daemonHost` (`dockerEngineArgv`) instead of always probing the local daemon.
+
+  **Smaller fixes:** commas are rejected in docker workspace/workdir/destination paths (a comma corrupts the `--mount type=bind,src=…` CSV spec, which shell escaping cannot protect); a dead `this.escapeHtml` reference in the exports refresh is fixed; `docker:importComplete` / `docker:containerRecreated` get frontend SSE listeners so other open tabs refresh; the File Viewer header button is hidden on phone headers like its siblings.
+
+  **Docs.** CLAUDE.md + READMEs synced with the current feature set, including a full zh-CN README re-translation.
+
+  **Multi-user mode (recap — shipped in 1.5.0).** Opt-in named users (`--multiuser` / `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`, off by default) with per-user case spaces and full ownership scoping of sessions, cases, cron jobs, scheduled runs, search, file previews, and real-time SSE/WS streams. Non-admin users default to Claude's classifier-guarded `--permission-mode auto`; raw shell mode, cron `launchCommand`, skip-permissions, and the Codex/Gemini bypass switches require an explicit per-user `canBypassPermissions` grant. Machine-level resources are admin-only. Admin API (`/api/admin/users*`) with one-time passwords, last-admin invariants, and an append-only audit log; self-service `/api/me` + password change; and a `codeman users add|passwd|list|rm` CLI. Off by default is byte-identical to single-user. Note: multi-user separates workspaces for a trusted team; it is not a security boundary between mutually-distrusting users (all sessions share the host OS account) — pair with Docker cases for real isolation.
+
+## 1.5.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 0ab2416: Opt-in multi-user mode (`--multiuser` / `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`, off by default).
+
+  Named users with individually scrypt-hashed passwords in `~/.codeman/users.json`, per-user case spaces under `~/codeman-users/<name>/cases`, and ownership scoping of sessions (create/list/delete/mutate, incl. bulk delete), cases, cron jobs + run history, scheduled runs, search, file previews, session history, away digest, subagent/workflow monitors, and real-time SSE/WS streams (including the debounced session/task update path, clipboard, and push notifications). A non-admin's `workingDir` is realpath-confined to their own space at every spawn/link path (session create, quick-start, cron create/fire, scheduled runs, case link/docker-link, docker import). Non-admin users default to Claude's classifier-guarded `--permission-mode auto`; raw shell mode, cron `launchCommand`, skip-permissions, and the Codex/Gemini bypass switches require an explicit per-user `canBypassPermissions` grant (enforced at every spawn site incl. one-shots, plan generation, scheduled runs, and remote launches). Machine-level resources (remote/Docker hosts + host reads, mux sessions, orchestrator, tunnel, self-update, settings) are admin-only. Admin API (`/api/admin/users*`) with one-time passwords, last-admin invariants (validated before any teardown), and an append-only audit log; self-service `/api/me` + password change; a frontend admin Users tab + change-password modal; and `codeman users add|passwd|list|rm` CLI. Also adds a global `auto` Claude startup permission mode. When off, behavior is byte-identical to single-user.
+
+  Auth hardening: the login throttle verifies the password before consulting the per-account failure bucket (a correct password can never be locked out); the `mustChangePassword` lockbox covers the WebSocket terminal; the cookie fast-path re-validates identity against the store each request (so a CLI/admin delete/disable/demote takes effect promptly); a role/grant change revokes the target's sessions. (Known limitation: a bare CLI `codeman users passwd` reset — no delete — does not by itself revoke an already-active cookie until it expires; use `codeman users rm`, the admin API, or a restart to force-revoke.) Data-integrity hardening: the store distinguishes a missing users file from a corrupt/unreadable one (so a transient read error can't overwrite all accounts) and writes via a unique per-process temp file; the earlier fire-and-forget `touchLastLogin` corruption race is serialized.
+
+  Note: multi-user mode separates workspaces for a trusted team; it is not a security boundary between users (all sessions share the host OS account). Pair with Docker cases for real isolation.
+
+## 1.4.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- **Docker session mode** hardening + fixes, plus a File Viewer header button.
+
+  **What Docker session mode is** (recap): a case can run inside an isolated, hardened Docker container instead of on the host, and any of the CLI backends (Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, or a plain shell) runs inside it. It is a location overlay on cases — not a new session mode — and the container analog of remote-SSH cases: a local tmux pane `docker exec`s into a durable in-container tmux, with exactly one long-lived container per case that multiple sessions share. The workspace, credentials, and conversation transcripts are bind-mounted so the agent is authenticated and resumable; containers are hardened by default (`--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, non-root, pids/memory caps, `--init`, never `--privileged` or the docker socket) and export-safe. Start one with the one-click "Run in Docker" checkbox on Create Case, or the Docker tab for full control.
+
+  This release fixes the rough edges found running it for real:
+
+  Docker cases:
+  - **Seamless Claude auth in containers**: `~/.claude.json` is no longer bind-mounted as a single file (a mount point that broke Claude's atomic-rename config writes — forcing re-auth and, via failed in-place writes, corrupting the host `~/.claude.json`). It is now seeded as a writable, onboarding-complete copy, so a docker session boots straight to the prompt (no theme picker, login, or folder-trust prompt).
+  - **Claude-state isolation**: containers no longer bind-mount the whole `~/.claude` directory (which wrote backups/tasks/teams/settings back into the host). Only `~/.claude/projects` transcripts are shared (host watchers + `--resume`); credentials, settings, and stats-cache are seeded as writable copies; everything else stays container-local.
+  - **Codex/Gemini/gcloud/opencode isolation**: same treatment — codex shares `sessions/` + `history.jsonl` (response-viewer + resume) and seeds `auth.json`/`config.toml`; gemini/gcloud/opencode are whole seed-copies. Containers never write their credential state back into the host dirs.
+  - **Base image auto-builds on first use**: a missing `codeman/agent:base` no longer blocks case creation or launch; it builds locally on first use (concurrency-safe, with SSE progress toasts).
+  - **UTF-8 locale**: containers set `LANG`/`LC_ALL=C.UTF-8` so tmux renders Claude's box-drawing correctly (fixes `qqqq` line artifacts).
+  - **Create Case UI**: larger, collapsed-by-default "Run in Docker" settings with a shorter hint; dockerized cases show a short `(docker)` tag (or the custom host id) in the case menus.
+  - **Tab naming**: docker/remote (and codex/gemini/opencode) sessions now follow the `w<n>-<case>` convention instead of `codeman-<id>`.
+

+
+## 1.4.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Add **Docker session mode**: a case can now run inside an isolated Docker container instead of on the host, with configurable network / resource / credential settings, multiple sessions sharing one per-case container, and one-click export to move a container (toolchain + workspace) to another machine.
+  - Docker is a location overlay on cases (not a new session mode), mirroring the remote-SSH feature: a local tmux pane runs `docker exec -it` into a durable in-container tmux server. The container is scoped to the case (`codeman-case-<name>`), so multiple sessions share it; killing one session never stops the shared container.
+  - New `/api/docker-hosts` CRUD, `/api/cases/docker-link`, and a `/api/quick-start` docker branch. Create Case gains a **Docker** tab. Base image is built locally via `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs` (node + claude/codex/gemini/opencode + tmux, secret-free, arbitrary-uid-writable HOME).
+  - Hardened by default: `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, non-root, `--pids-limit`, `--memory`==`--memory-swap`, `--init`; never `--privileged` or the docker socket. Convenient credential default bind-mounts host `~/.claude` etc. read-write (never captured by `docker commit`); a sealed profile is opt-in.
+  - Two-layer durability: reconnect after a Codeman restart reattaches the same live agent; a container stop/reboot resumes the conversation from the bind-mounted transcript via `--resume`.
+  - Export / import: full-image (`docker commit` + `save` + workspace tar + manifest) or workspace-only, to one portable `.codeman-container.tgz`; import validates checksums, guards path traversal, and re-tags the loaded image into a quarantined namespace. Instance-scoped boot reaper cleans orphaned containers. New `docker:*` SSE events. Docs in `docs/docker-cases.md`.
+  - Robustness: sets `CLAUDE_CODE_TMPDIR` in the container so claude launches regardless of workspace path. In-container hooks require the server to be reachable from the container (documented); on a loopback-only bind, idle detection falls back to output-based.
+
+  Also wire session, away-digest, and cron header-button visibility toggles in App Settings.
+
+## 1.3.5
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- a842f2d: fix(auth): slide the session cookie so active users aren't logged out
+
+  Re-issue the `codeman_session` cookie on every authenticated request so the
+  browser cookie lifetime tracks the server-side sliding TTL (the session store
+  already uses `refreshOnGet`). Previously the cookie was only set on the Basic
+  Auth path with a fixed 24h lifetime from login, so the browser dropped it
+  mid-use; the next request arrived cookie-less, fell through to Basic Auth and
+  popped the native username/password dialog, perceived as a random logout while
+  actively working.
+
+## 1.3.4
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix "Run Shell" not switching the terminal to the newly created shell session. Clicking Run Shell created the shell tab but left the previous session's terminal on screen, so you had to manually click the new tab to actually enter it. Root cause: `runShell()` pre-set `activeSessionId` to the new session's id right before calling `selectSession()`, and `selectSession()` early-returns when the requested id already matches the active one, so it skipped the terminal buffer load, tab activation, and focus. Removed the premature assignment in both the local and remote-SSH shell branches so `selectSession()` runs to completion (matching `runClaude`/`runCodex`/`runGemini`/`runOpenCode`, which already avoid this). Verified end-to-end in a real browser with a negative/positive control.
+
+## 1.3.3
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix terminal scroll-back in Claude sessions, especially on macOS trackpads (#154).
+  - **Deterministic CLI version detection.** `cliVersion` was often `undefined` because it was scraped from the `Claude Code vX.Y.Z` startup banner, which newer Claude Code builds (2.1.187+) don't reliably print and resumed sessions never show. With the version unknown, wheel-forwarding to Claude's transcript was silently disabled — and since repaint-mode Claude keeps no local terminal scrollback, scrolling up reached nothing. A new `getClaudeCliVersion()` probe (`claude --version`, cached, local-only) seeds the version at session start so forwarding engages. Restored sessions pick it up on restart.
+  - **Trackpad Shift+scroll.** The wheel handler now reads the dominant axis, so a macOS trackpad's Shift+two-finger scroll — which the browser reports as horizontal `deltaX` — reaches xterm's local scrollback instead of collapsing to a fixed one line per tick.
+  - **Opt-out setting.** New per-device App Settings → Input → "Wheel Scrolls Local History" (default off) pins the plain wheel to local scrollback (the pre-#144 behavior) for shell and other non-repaint sessions.
+  - **No more "queued bytes" flicker on scroll.** Wheel-scroll reports now use a fire-and-forget send path (seq-less input frame) instead of the durable exactly-once input queue, so they no longer appear in the pending-bytes connection indicator or churn localStorage. Keystrokes, taps, and clicks still use the durable queue.
+
+## 1.3.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Make the Cron Jobs modal fully skin-aware and consistent with App Settings' design language.
+  - **Fix white dropdowns:** `.form-select` had no `appearance` reset and the app set no `color-scheme`, so native `<select>` fields rendered as white OS widgets that ignored the active skin. Selects now use `appearance: none` with an opaque `var(--bg-input)` fill, a `var(--border)` outline, and a custom chevron, so they follow the skin (daylight `#202833`, OG `#1a1a1f`). This is on the shared `.form-select` class, so App Settings, Cron, and every other select match and are fixed together.
+  - Set `color-scheme: dark` on `:root` so native select option popups, date/time pickers, and scrollbars render dark across all three (dark) skins instead of flashing white.
+  - Themed the Cron date/time inputs with `var(--bg-input)` / `var(--border)` instead of hardcoded values.
+  - Fixed the Cron toolbar: "+ New Job" / "Refresh" and the footer Save / Cancel now use the full `btn-toolbar` size (matching the App Settings footer), with a wider gap and a divider under the toolbar for better spacing.
+
+## 1.3.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Redesign the Cron Jobs modal to match the App Settings styling, and fix a bug that left its create form fully expanded.
+  - **Fix:** the cron modal's "New Cron Job" form and all of its conditional rows (Launch Command, Prompt File Path, and the once/interval/daily/weekly schedule fields) never actually collapsed — there is no global `.hidden` utility in the stylesheet and the cron modal never scoped its own, so the form opened fully expanded with every field visible at once. Added a scoped `#cronModal .hidden` rule; the form now stays collapsed until "+ New Job" and only shows the fields relevant to the selected agent type, prompt source, and schedule type.
+  - Sectioned the create/edit form into Basics / Prompt / Schedule / Options with the same section-header dividers used in App Settings, and increased row spacing.
+  - Styled the agent-type / prompt-source / input-mode / schedule-type dropdowns and the datetime-local / time inputs to share the bordered, rounded, focus-ringed field look.
+  - Converted the "Auto-close previous run's session" and "Enabled" toggles into App-Settings-style cards (label + description on the left, compact switch on the right).
+  - Replaced the raw weekday checkboxes with pill toggles that fill with the accent color when selected.
+  - Restyled the job list rows as hover-highlighted cards with pill badges (agent type, schedule, disabled) and right-aligned actions, and gave the modal a divider-topped Cancel / Save footer.
+
+## 1.3.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Community release: 16 contributor PRs reviewed (multi-agent adversarial review), fixed, and merged. Thanks to @aakhter, @TeigenZhang, @chatgptkrylor, @kvncrw, and @pirronewantlux529-coder!
+
+  **New features**
+  - **Cron jobs** (#141, @chatgptkrylor): recurring scheduled jobs (once/interval/daily/weekly) that spawn a session and send a prompt when due — CRUD + run history (`/api/cron/*`), ⏰ modal UI, per-job concurrency policy and `autoClosePreviousSession` lifecycle, pure unit-tested next-run math. Distinct from the legacy `ScheduledRun`.
+  - **Remote host SSH cases** (#145, @aakhter): link cases on remote hosts (`remote-hosts.json`/`remote-cases.json`), launch sessions over ssh into a durable remote tmux (dedicated `-L codeman-remote` socket; adoption-safe naming), per-host command overrides, injection-guarded schemas, remote tmux probe + ConnectTimeout, remote kill on delete, recovery-safe persistence.
+  - **Command-K session palette + searchable case picker + shortcut registry** (#146, @aakhter): Ctrl/Cmd/Alt+K fuzzy session palette with "Browse all sessions" Session Manager; searchable quick-start case picker (remote-aware labels); rebindable shortcut registry with App Settings → Shortcuts tab and Ctrl+? overlay.
+  - **Unified session list** (#139, @aakhter): `GET /api/sessions/unified` merges live/persisted/lifecycle/transcript sessions into one deduped list (resumed sessions fold via claudeSessionId alias map).
+  - **Unified Session Manager UX** (#153, @aakhter): unified welcome list with mode/LIVE badges + per-row kebab menu, `projectKey` plumbing for "View all in this folder", SSE-driven live list refresh, desktop Session Manager header button.
+  - **Full-scrollback replay** (#148, @aakhter): page reload replays the entire tmux scrollback (`?full=1`, bounded capture with proper maxBuffer) with CRLF normalization for shell panes.
+  - **WebSocket resilience** (#149, @aakhter): reconnect with preserved exponential backoff, per-tab connection identity (multi-tab safe), ACK re-drive, and a truthful connection chip (WS/HTTP/reconnecting states).
+  - **PTY-exit circuit breaker + TMUX scrub** (#147, @aakhter): rapid PTY crash-loops trip a breaker (SSE + critical push notification; explicit-restart-only reset); inherited TMUX vars are scrubbed so Codeman-in-tmux doesn't nest.
+  - **Codex generated-artifact attachments** (#150, @aakhter): codex sessions surface `Saved to: file://…` outputs as attachment cards (realpath-anchored trust, codex-mode-gated, jpg/gif/webp thumbnails).
+  - **Codex response viewer** (#152, @pirronewantlux529-coder): the eye button now works for Codex sessions via 4-layer rollout resolution (history pin → originator → resume-UUID → cwd) with dedup + injected-context filtering.
+  - **HEIC paste conversion** (#151, @aakhter): iPhone HEIC pastes convert to JPEG server-side in a worker thread (concurrency-capped, 64MP decompression-bomb guard, magic-byte detection for mislabeled Android HEIFs). Deps: heic-decode + jpeg-js.
+  - **WebGL renderer toggle** (#140, @kvncrw): per-device setting to switch xterm between WebGL and DOM renderers, cooperating with the GPU-stall auto-fallback marker.
+  - **Raised terminal history defaults** (#138, @aakhter): tmux history-limit 50k→100k lines, PTY buffer 2MB/1.5MB→32MB/24MB (env-clamped so trim always stays below max).
+
+  **Mobile & input fixes**
+  - CJK input loss fixes: IME state machine, focus routing, Android InputConnection recovery — with content-free diagnostics (#143, @TeigenZhang).
+  - Tap/click/wheel restored when the server strips mouse DECSETs — version-gated wheel passthrough (claude ≥ 2.1.187), link-click double-fire fix, Shift+wheel documented (#144, @TeigenZhang).
+  - Response-viewer readability on phones + iOS dvh viewport fix (#142, @TeigenZhang).
+
+  **Docs**: CLAUDE.md accuracy audit (18 verified fixes: security hook-bypass description, env-prefix allowlist, state-file inventory, watcher/function names, counts) + documentation for all new subsystems. README gains a user walkthrough (#141).
+
+  All PRs went through adversarial multi-agent review; ~60 verified findings (including 12 blockers) were fixed on the contributors' branches before merge. Full test suite green: 3,400+ tests.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- bf36eb0: Add a **WebGL Renderer** toggle to Settings → Appearance (desktop). WebGL stays on by default; turning it off forces the DOM renderer for users who hit GPU glitches, without needing the `?nowebgl` URL param. Turning it back on (or `?webgl=force`) clears any stale auto-fallback marker. The existing mobile skip and long-task auto-fallback safety net are unchanged. The skip decision is factored into a pure, unit-tested `shouldSkipWebGL()` helper.
+
+## 1.2.2
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Centralize terminal history/scrollback/buffer retention limits into config (PR #137, COD-80).
+
+  New `src/config/terminal-history.ts` is now the single source of truth for the terminal scrollback lines, tmux `history-limit`, and server PTY buffer byte caps that were previously scattered as hardcoded literals across `buffer-limits.ts`, `tmux-manager.ts`, and `session.ts`. Each value is overridable (env var or the settings object) and bounds-clamped via a pure `resolveTerminalHistoryConfig()`.
+
+  This change is behavior-neutral: the defaults intentionally match the prior hardcoded values (tmux history-limit 50,000; terminal scrollback 50,000; PTY buffer max 2 MB; trim 1.5 MB) and the existing `CODEMAN_MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER` / `CODEMAN_TRIM_TERMINAL_TO` env overrides are preserved, so runtime behavior is unchanged on its own. It is the mechanism half of a stacked change; a follow-up raises the defaults.
+  - `buffer-limits.ts` sources `MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER_SIZE` / `TRIM_TERMINAL_TO` from the resolver.
+  - `tmux-manager.ts` uses `DEFAULT_TMUX_HISTORY_LIMIT` in place of the hardcoded `history-limit 50000`, gains `setHistoryLimit()` (mux-interface + impl) so a settings change applies to live sessions, and re-applies the limit on `respawnPane` so it survives a respawn.
+  - `session.ts` threads a per-session `tmuxHistoryLimit` into the tmux spawn calls; `server.ts` exposes `getTerminalHistoryConfig()` on the route ctx and `system-routes.ts` applies a changed `tmuxHistoryLimit` to live sessions immediately.
+  - `schemas.ts` adds four optional, bounds-clamped settings keys (`terminalScrollbackLines`, `tmuxHistoryLimit`, `terminalBufferMaxBytes`, `terminalBufferTrimBytes`) with a `trim <= max` cross-field check.
+  - New tests: `test/terminal-history.test.ts` (resolver defaults / clamping / trim<=max / non-number fallback) and `test/terminal-history-schema.test.ts` (settings-schema validation).
+
+## 1.2.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- Fix local echo on iOS Safari when switching into a tab whose session already has output. The on-screen-keyboard "heal" (refit + scroll-to-bottom + overlay re-render + one-shot resize) only ran on a keyboard visibility transition, so switching into a tab while the keyboard was already up never triggered it — leaving the local-echo overlay rendering against stale, off-bottom terminal state. Typed characters were invisible (or mispositioned at the cursor row, far below the actual `❯` prompt) until the user manually hid and re-showed the keyboard. `selectSession` now replicates that heal when the keyboard is already visible, so local echo paints correctly on the first keystroke after a keyboard-up tab switch.
+
+## 1.2.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- Merge four feature PRs and harden them for release.
+
+  **Gemini run mode (PR #134, COD-36)** — a third external-CLI backend alongside Codex and OpenCode (`SessionMode` adds `'gemini'`). New `gemini-cli-resolver.ts`, `buildGeminiCommand()` (`--skip-trust`, `--approval-mode {default|auto_edit|yolo|plan}` defaulting to `yolo`, `--model`, `--resume`), `setGeminiEnvVars()` (socket-scoped `tmux setenv` of `GEMINI_*`/`GOOGLE_*` auth incl. Vertex AI), `GET /api/gemini/status` with an install hint (`npm install -g @google/gemini-cli`), run-mode dropdown + welcome "Run Gemini" button + "Run GM" label, `GeminiConfigSchema`, and `GEMINI_*`/`GOOGLE_*` added to the env-override allowlist. Requires tmux (no PTY fallback), like Codex.
+
+  **Cross-session search (PR #133, COD-113)** — `GET /api/search?q=&types=&limit=` federates an in-memory search across session metadata, run-summary events, and attachment-history file entries (substring match, hard caps, no FS reads); history-panel search box in the frontend.
+
+  **Away digest (PR #136, COD-41)** — `GET /api/away-digest` aggregates "what happened while you were away" (lifecycle log, run summaries, live sessions, daily token stats, recent subagents) into categorized sections behind a header-button modal (hidden on phones).
+
+  **Ralph todo-config (PR #135, COD-79)** — per-session `maxTodos` and `todoExpirationMinutes` via `POST /api/sessions/:id/ralph-config`; now persisted in `RalphTrackerState` and read back into the Session Options modal (mirrors `maxIterations` round-trip).
+
+  **Review fixes applied on merge:**
+  - Gemini: fixed two `{success,data}` envelope bugs in `runGemini()` (status check and new-session selection) that made the Run-Gemini button non-functional; fixed `setGeminiEnvVars()` to use the socket-scoped tmux command so Google-auth env injection actually reaches the session.
+  - Gemini parity: tab-mode badge, kill-dialog label, `codeman doctor` registry entry, `isGeminiAvailable` barrel export, `COLORTERM=truecolor`, and alt-screen/scrollback stripping (Ink TUI, like Codex/Claude).
+  - Restored four envelope-shape test assertions weakened during the Gemini PR; added a `runGemini()` regression test covering the envelope path.
+  - Ralph todo-config values now persist across restart and read back correctly instead of always reverting to defaults.

-6. **Wait for CI**: after `git push`, find the run with `gh run list -L 1 --json databaseId,headBranch -q '.[0].databaseId'` and watch it with `gh run watch <id> --exit-status`. Confirm all checks pass before considering the release done.
+5. **Commit and deploy**: verify the branch first (`git branch --show-current`), then stage EXPLICIT paths — never `git add -A`, which has swept another session's WIP into a release. `git status --short` and account for every line before committing:
+   `git add <paths> && git commit -m "chore: version packages" && git push && npm run build && systemctl --user restart codeman-web`
+6. **Wait for CI**: after `git push`, TWO workflows fire per master push — `CI` and `Release` (the npm publish + GitHub release). List both runs for the pushed commit with `gh run list --commit $(git rev-parse HEAD) --json databaseId,workflowName` and watch EACH with `gh run watch <id> --exit-status`. Confirm both pass before considering the release done (`gh run list -L 1` returns only one of the two).
 
 CI runs `npm run check:lockfile` on every push/PR, so lockfile drift fails the build even if the `version-packages` script is bypassed.

 **CI**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` (push to master/main + PRs, Node 22) runs two jobs: **(1)** `check:lockfile`, `typecheck`, `lint`, `check:frontend-syntax`, `format:check`, then a **server boot smoke test** (`tsx src/index.ts web --port 3151` must answer `/api/status` within 30s); **(2)** the **unit/integration test suite** via `npm run test:ci` (`config/vitest.ci.config.ts` — excludes the browser-driven `test/mobile/**` suite, `perf-*` benchmarks, and 3 Playwright tests). Tests are tmux-safe in CI: `TmuxManager` no-ops all shell commands under `VITEST` (see Testing).
 
-**Code style**: Prettier (`singleQuote: true`, `printWidth: 120`, `trailingComma: "es5"`). ESLint flat config (`config/eslint.config.js`) allows `no-console`, warns on `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any`. Ignores: `app.js`, `scripts/**/*.mjs`, `src/web/public/vendor/**`, `scripts/remotion/**`.
+**Code style**: Prettier (`singleQuote: true`, `printWidth: 120`, `trailingComma: "es5"`) — config lives in the **`"prettier"` key of `package.json`**, not a `.prettierrc` (keeps the repo root short; editors read it natively). `.prettierignore` stays at the root because Prettier resolves it relative to cwd. ESLint flat config (`config/eslint.config.js`) allows `no-console`, warns on `@typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any`. Ignores: `app.js`, `scripts/**/*.mjs`, `src/web/public/vendor/**`, `scripts/remotion/**`.
+
+**Prettier scope is deliberately narrow.** `npm run format` globs only `src/**/*.ts` and `src/web/public/**`, and `.prettierignore` then exempts most of `src/web/public/*.js` (app.js, styles.css, index.html, and 14 hand-formatted modules) plus `CLAUDE.md`. Those files are hand-formatted by design; `npm run check:public-assets` and `check:frontend-syntax` are what guard them (NUL bytes + JS syntax), not Prettier. Do not "fix" a file by adding it back to Prettier's scope.

@@ -100,15 +122,15 @@ Codeman is a Claude Code session manager with web interface and autonomous Ralph
 - **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. Both `aicodeman` and `codeman` bin aliases are installed (`package.json` `bin`)
 - **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)

(`GOOGLE_*` is the deliberately-broad Vertex-AI namespace for Gemini — see Multi-CLI prefix discipline.)
 - **Effort is NOT an env var** — never carry effort as `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL`: the env var hard-locks effort and blocks in-session `/effort` switching (incl. ultracode). It flows as the dedicated `effort` payload field → `Session._effort` → `claude --effort <level>` for regular levels incl. `max` (the settings `effortLevel` key is `enum(["low","medium","high","xhigh"]).catch(undefined)` — `max` gets SILENTLY dropped there), or `claude --settings '{"ultracode":true}'` for ultracode (rejected by `--effort`). Both are soft defaults the user can override anytime. Legacy env-var entries are auto-migrated by the Session constructor and unset from tmux sessions in `applyEnvOverrides()`. See `buildEffortCliArgs()` in `session-cli-builder.ts`, tests in `test/effort-injection.test.ts`
 - **Model choice flows via `settings.local.json`, NOT `--model` or env** — the App Settings **Claude Model** picker (`claudeModel` in `settings.json`) is read by `session-ui.js` at session create (wins over the legacy 1M-Opus toggles `opusContext1m`/`opusContext1mEnabled`), sent as the `modelOverride` payload field, and `updateCaseModel()` (`hooks-config.ts`) writes/deletes the `model` key in `<case>/.claude/settings.local.json`. This is the intended exception to the envOverrides rule above: model legitimately lives in `settings.local.json` (a soft default — in-session `/model` still works); env vars do not
-- **Multi-CLI prefix discipline** — Codeman supports Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex (`claude-cli-resolver.ts` / `opencode-cli-resolver.ts` / `codex-cli-resolver.ts`); env-var prefix is CLI-specific (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*` vs `CODEX_*`) 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 all prefixes. See `docs/opencode-integration.md` for the OpenCode resolver design
-- **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 single-source — edit the package, then rebuild the bundle** — the local-echo overlay source lives ONLY in `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` (`zerolag-input-addon.ts`; also published to npm as a standalone library — see README "Published Packages"). It is bundled (esbuild → IIFE, with appended `window.LocalEchoOverlay` aliases) into the **gitignored** `src/web/public/vendor/xterm-zerolag-input.js` by `scripts/postinstall.js` (for dev/`tsx`) and into `dist/.../vendor/` by `scripts/build.mjs:50` (for prod). `app.js` only **consumes** it via `new LocalEchoOverlay(terminal)` — there is NO inline copy to keep in sync. So: change behavior in the package source, then re-run the bundle step (`npm install` reruns postinstall; `npm run build` for prod); **never hand-edit `app.js` for overlay behavior or commit the gitignored vendor bundle**. A public-API break in the package still warrants a separate `xterm-zerolag-input` version bump in the changeset. Always test on mobile after touching it. See `docs/local-echo-overlay-plan.md`.
-- **Default bind is loopback-only; non-loopback without a password starts but warns** — since COD-29 (PR #107) the web server defaults to `--host 127.0.0.1` (was `0.0.0.0`). As of **0.9.0** binding a non-loopback host (`--host`/`-H`/`CODEMAN_HOST`) without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` **no longer refuses to start — it starts and prints a loud warning** listing the fixes (set `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`, bind loopback + tunnel/`tailscale serve`, or `--allow-unauthenticated-network` / `CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1` to acknowledge → terser note). Host classification is `isLoopbackBindHost()` in `network-auth-policy.ts`; the warn-vs-start logic is in `server.ts` `start()`; flags wired in `cli.ts`. ⚠️ Operational note: the production systemd unit runs `node dist/index.js web --https` with no `--host`, so it binds **localhost only** — reach it remotely via `tailscale serve`/tunnel to `127.0.0.1`, or add `Environment=CODEMAN_HOST=0.0.0.0` + `Environment=CODEMAN_PASSWORD=…` to `~/.config/systemd/user/codeman-web.service`. A loopback bind is reachable through a same-host tunnel (cloudflared/tailscale → `127.0.0.1`) but NOT by a browser hitting the box's LAN IP. Auth user defaults to `admin`. **Full model: `docs/security-architecture.md`.**
-- **Instance isolation / multi-instance attach danger** — data dir (`~/.codeman`) and tmux socket (`tmux -L codeman`) are PROCESS-WIDE and shared by every Codeman on the machine, derived from `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` via `src/config/instance.ts` (`getDataDir()`/`dataPath()`/`DEFAULT_TMUX_SOCKET`). ⚠️ A 2nd instance on the SAME socket **discovers and attaches PTYs to the first instance's live sessions** (`tmux -L codeman attach-session …`), resizing/mutating them — `$HOME` isolation is NOT enough (tmux is system-global). To run two instances, give each a distinct `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` (scopes BOTH dir+socket: `~/.codeman-<name>` + `-L codeman-<name>`), or set `CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET` + `CODEMAN_DATA_DIR` individually. **`CODEMAN_INSTANCE` defaults to empty = the production layout (`~/.codeman`, `-L codeman`, port 3000)**, so this branch is safe to ship to master without disturbing existing installs. To run THIS beta alongside prod, launch with `scripts/run-beta.sh` (`CODEMAN_INSTANCE=beta` + `CODEMAN_PORT=5000`) — it never collides with prod's data dir/socket/port. Any new `~/.codeman/...` path MUST go through `dataPath()`, never `join(homedir(), '.codeman', …)`.
-- **Headless screenshots: `deviceScaleFactor` MUST be 1, and write unique filenames** — `scripts/capture-real-overview.mjs` (drives a live session in headless Chromium → overview PNG). Two traps, both observed 2026-06-14: **(1) DSF=2 doubles the console font.** xterm's WebGL renderer draws terminal glyphs at ~2× their nominal size under `deviceScaleFactor: 2`, while STILL reporting nominal cell dims (`terminal.cols`/`_renderService.dimensions.css.cell` say 8px/187cols — they lie), so it's invisible to any internal measurement and only the pixels reveal it. The HTML chrome (header/toolbar) is unaffected → ONLY the console font looks comically large. Default to **DSF=1** (script does); the image is 1× res but the font is true-to-browser. **(2) Stable filenames → stale renders.** Overwriting a fixed path (`claude-overview.png`) in place leaves OS image viewers (eog/feh) — and any HTTP client behind a long/`immutable` cache — showing the OLD render; the user reads it as "the fix didn't work". The script now mints a timestamped `claude-overview-<ts>.png` per run. ⚠️ This was a LOCAL image-viewer cache, NOT a Codeman serving bug: `file-routes` previews send `Cache-Control: no-cache` and `/api/screenshots/:name` sends none. The one real Codeman-side footgun: `server.ts` serves non-content-hashed static assets `public, max-age=31536000, immutable`, and `cacheBustAssets()` only rewrites `.js`/`.css` refs — a stable-named **image** referenced from public/ would go stale on overwrite. Reflect the per-device UI to match a real device when capturing: seed `localStorage` `codeman:skin`, `codeman-font-size`, and the desktop `codeman-app-settings` blob (the plan-usage chip is a per-device display key deleted from the server payload — a fresh browser hides it unless seeded; close side panels for a full-width terminal).
+- **Multi-CLI prefix discipline** — env-var prefix is CLI-specific (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*` vs `CODEX_*` vs `GEMINI_*`) and the `ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES` allowlist in `schemas.ts` enforces this. Gemini additionally allowlists the **broad `GOOGLE_*`** namespace (intentional: Vertex AI auth needs `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`/`GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS`/`GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI`; it is the loosest allowlist entry, affecting only the user's own spawned CLI). When adding a setting, decide which CLI(s) it applies to and gate the env export accordingly. Never blanket-forward all prefixes. Resolver design pattern: `docs/opencode-integration.md`

+- **Instance isolation / multi-instance attach danger** — the data dir (`~/.codeman`) and tmux socket (`tmux -L codeman`) are PROCESS-WIDE and shared by every Codeman on the machine, derived from `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` via `src/config/instance.ts`. ⚠️ A 2nd instance on the SAME socket **discovers and attaches PTYs to the first instance's live sessions**, resizing and mutating them. `$HOME` isolation is NOT enough because tmux is system-global. To run two instances, give each a distinct `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` (scopes dir + socket together), or set `CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET` + `CODEMAN_DATA_DIR` individually; `scripts/run-beta.sh` does this for a beta alongside prod. **Any new `~/.codeman/...` path MUST go through `dataPath()`**, never `join(homedir(), '.codeman', …)`. → [architecture-invariants#instance-isolation-and-the-multi-instance-attach-danger](docs/architecture-invariants.md#instance-isolation-and-the-multi-instance-attach-danger)
+- **Headless screenshots: `deviceScaleFactor` MUST be 1, and write unique filenames** — under DSF=2 xterm's WebGL renderer draws glyphs at ~2× nominal size while still *reporting* nominal cell dims, so only the pixels reveal it and only the terminal font looks wrong. And overwriting a fixed output path leaves OS image viewers showing the old render, which reads as "the fix didn't work"; `scripts/capture-real-overview.mjs` mints a timestamped filename per run. Seed the per-device `localStorage` keys (`codeman:skin`, `codeman-font-size`, `codeman-app-settings`) so the capture matches a real device. → [architecture-invariants#headless-screenshot-capture](docs/architecture-invariants.md#headless-screenshot-capture)

 ### Key Patterns
 
-**Input**: `session.writeViaMux()` for programmatic input — tmux `send-keys -l` (literal) + `send-keys Enter`. Single-line only.
+**Input**: `session.writeViaMux()` for programmatic/curl input via tmux `send-keys -l` + `send-keys Enter`, single-line only. Interactive **browser** input goes through a durable **exactly-once** layer: a stable `clientId` + monotonic per-session `seq` persisted to localStorage until the server ACKs, so a dropped link cannot lose or double-deliver a prompt. `ws-connection-registry.ts` supersedes only same-TAB reconnects, so two tabs on one session coexist. → [architecture-invariants#input-delivery-and-ws-resilience](docs/architecture-invariants.md#input-delivery-and-ws-resilience)
 
 **Idle detection**: Multi-layer (completion message → AI check → output silence → token stability). See `docs/respawn-state-machine.md`.
 
-**Auto-resume on usage limit** ("token pause" control, opt-in per session, top of the Respawn tab): when Claude halts on a subscription limit ("5-hour limit reached ∙ resets 8pm" and all 1.0.x–2.1.x variants), `usage-limit-patterns.ts` (pure, unit-tested) parses the reset time from cleaned output; `SessionAutoOps` arms a timer for reset+2min, then sends Esc (dismisses the rate-limit dialog) + `continue`. Still-limited responses re-arm the loop (5-min retry on stale times); a `working` transition cancels it. Claude-mode only (detection rides `_processExpensiveParsers`). Persists/recovers via `SessionState.autoResumeEnabled`/`autoResumeAt`; respawn cycles are blocked while paused (`isLimitPaused` guard in `onIdleDetected` — prevents `/clear` from wiping the paused conversation). Endpoint: `POST /api/sessions/:id/auto-resume`; SSE: `session:limitPauseScheduled`/`limitResume`/`limitResumeCancelled`. Tests: `test/usage-limit-patterns.test.ts`, `test/session-auto-resume.test.ts`.
+**Auto-resume on usage limit** (opt-in per session, top of the Respawn tab): when Claude halts on a subscription limit, `usage-limit-patterns.ts` (pure, unit-tested) parses the reset time and `SessionAutoOps` arms a timer for reset+2min, then sends Esc + `continue`. ⚠️ Respawn cycles are blocked while paused (`isLimitPaused` guard in `onIdleDetected`), which is what prevents `/clear` from wiping the paused conversation. Claude-mode only. → [architecture-invariants#auto-resume-on-usage-limit](docs/architecture-invariants.md#auto-resume-on-usage-limit)
 
-**Plan-usage chip** (statusLine telemetry, opt-in `showPlanUsageLimits`, default OFF): Claude Code (v2.1.80+) pipes a JSON blob to a configured `statusLine.command` on each render; on Pro/Max it carries a `rate_limits` object (`five_hour`/`seven_day` windows only — no Opus weekly field — each `{used_percentage 0-100, resets_at epoch-SECONDS}`). Codeman injects its OWN statusLine exporter (`generateStatusLineCommand()` in `hooks-config.ts`, identified by the `/api/status-telemetry` marker — it only ever adds/updates/removes a statusLine that is *ours*, never a user's hand-authored one) that POSTs the blob to `POST /api/status-telemetry`. That route (auth-exempt like `/api/hook-event` — localhost-only, hook-secret-gated under a tunnel) parses via `usage-telemetry.ts` (pure, unit-tested), broadcasts SSE `session:statusTelemetry` (de-duped per session by `telemetrySignature` since the statusline fires on every assistant message), and returns a compact plain-text footer for the exporter to **print-through** (so injecting our statusLine doesn't blank the in-terminal footer). `plan-usage-latest.ts` holds the process-wide last value, replayed in the SSE init snapshot (`getLightState`) so the header chip (`#planUsageChip`, toggled by `showPlanUsageLimits` in settings-ui.js) renders immediately on page load / reconnect without per-browser localStorage. Claude-mode only. **Distinct from auto-resume** (which reacts to the limit *message*; this proactively shows the live %). Design: `docs/usage-limits-display-plan.md`. Tests: `test/usage-telemetry.test.ts`.
+**Plan-usage chip** (statusLine telemetry, opt-in `showPlanUsageLimits`, default OFF): Codeman injects its own `statusLine.command` exporter which POSTs Claude's `rate_limits` blob to `POST /api/status-telemetry`.

Claude-mode only; distinct from auto-resume, which reacts to the limit *message* rather than showing live %. → [architecture-invariants#plan-usage-chip-statusline-telemetry](docs/architecture-invariants.md#plan-usage-chip-statusline-telemetry), `docs/usage-limits-display-plan.md`
 
 **Orchestrator**: State machine that turns a user goal into a phased plan and drives it to completion: `idle → planning → approval → executing → verifying → (replanning) → completed/failed`. `OrchestratorLoop` (engine) delegates plan generation to `orchestrator-planner` and per-phase verification gates to `orchestrator-verifier`, executing phases via team agents/`task-queue`. State persists under the `orchestrator` key in `state.json`. Distinct from Ralph (single-session autonomous loop) — orchestrator coordinates multi-phase, multi-agent execution. See `docs/orchestrator-loop-architecture.md`.
 
-**External CLI modes (OpenCode, Codex)**: `isExternalCliMode()` in `session.ts` gates Claude-specific behavior — Ralph tracker, BashToolParser, token/CLI-info parsing, and ❯-prompt readiness detection are all skipped (these CLIs render their own TUIs; readiness = output stabilization instead). Both modes **require tmux — no direct PTY fallback** — because secrets are injected via `tmux setenv`, never on the spawn command line: OpenCode gets `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` etc., Codex gets `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`CODEX_API_KEY`/`CODEX_HOME` (`setCodexEnvVars` in `tmux-manager.ts`). Codex specifics: command built by `buildCodexCommand()` (`--model`, `resume <id>`, `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` from the `codexConfig` payload / `codexDangerouslyBypassApprovals` app setting; `renderMode` is schema-coerced to `'hybrid'`, the only supported mode); tmux exports `COLORTERM=truecolor` + unsets `NO_COLOR` (other modes unset `COLORTERM`); availability via `GET /api/codex/status` — session/quick-start routes fail with `OPERATION_FAILED` and an install hint (`npm install -g @openai/codex`) when the binary is missing. Frontend: run-mode dropdown → `runCodex()` in `session-ui.js` ("Run CX" label), App Settings → Codex CLI tab; Respawn/Ralph options are Claude-only, so session options open on the Summary tab for external CLI sessions. Tests: `test/run-mode-ui.test.ts` (vm-sandbox harness, no real DOM).
+**Cron (`CronJob`s)**: saved, named jobs on a recurring schedule (`once`/`interval`/`daily`/`weekly`) with per-job run history. ⚠️ **Distinct from the legacy `ScheduledRun`** (`/api/scheduled`, a run-now duration-bounded loop); the two never interact and keep separate `Scheduled*` / `Cron*` names. `CronService` **reuses the existing session layer** rather than rebuilding tmux logic. Next-run math is pure and unit-tested in `cron-time.ts` (server-local timezone). The schedule is advanced BEFORE launch so a slow launch cannot re-trigger. → [architecture-invariants#cron-jobs](docs/architecture-invariants.md#cron-jobs), `docs/cron-discovery.md`
+
+**Remote sessions + remote SSH cases**: a case can point at a remote host. The agent runs inside a durable remote `tmux -L codeman-remote` (session name `codeman-ssh-<id>`, deliberately failing the remote Codeman's `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN` so an instance on the target host never adopts it), fronted by a LOCAL tmux pane running `ssh`. Attached (`owned:false`) sessions **detach, never kill** on tab close; owned ones propagate `kill-session`. A bounded-backoff watcher auto-reconnects dropped sessions (`remoteAutoReconnect`, default ON). ⚠️ **Command-injection surface: every ssh command line must flow through `buildSshConnectionArgs()`**, which `shellescape`s every user field. Never hand-build an ssh line elsewhere. ⚠️ Run flows must route remote cases through `POST /api/quick-start`, not `POST /api/sessions` (which stat-validates `workingDir` locally and has no `caseName`). → [architecture-invariants#remote-sessions-over-ssh](docs/architecture-invariants.md#remote-sessions-over-ssh), [#remote-ssh-cases](docs/architecture-invariants.md#remote-ssh-cases), `docs/remote-sessions.md`
+
+**Docker cases**: a case can point at a **container**, with any of the five CLI backends running inside it. Like remote-SSH this is a **LOCATION OVERLAY on cases, never a sixth `SessionMode`**. Exactly one long-lived container **per case**, shared by all its sessions, so killing a session kills only that session's in-container tmux and **never** `docker stop` while siblings remain. The workspace is a real host dir bind-mounted at the **same absolute path**, which is what keeps file-routes/watchers on real host bytes and makes the in-container transcript projHash match the host. Credentials are **seeded** (RO mount, copied into the container once) rather than shared RW, so in-container CLIs never write refreshed tokens back to the host, and bind mounts are excluded from `docker commit` so exports stay secret-free. **NEVER a create-time `-e` for secrets, NEVER `--privileged`, NEVER the docker socket.** Config drift is detected via a label hash and a drifted launch is REFUSED rather than silently launched with stale config. ⚠️ On the loopback-only prod bind a container cannot reach 127.0.0.1, so in-container hooks need `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS=1`; otherwise idle detection falls back to output-based. → [architecture-invariants#docker-cases](docs/architecture-invariants.md#docker-cases), `docs/docker-cases.md` (user guide), `docs/docker-cases-plan.md` (design)
+
+**External CLI modes (OpenCode, Codex, Gemini)**: `isExternalCliMode()` in `session.ts` gates Claude-specific behavior off (Ralph tracker, BashToolParser, token/CLI-info parsing, ❯-prompt readiness); these CLIs render their own TUIs, so readiness is output stabilization instead. All three **require tmux with no direct PTY fallback**, because secrets are injected via socket-scoped `tmux setenv` and never on the spawn command line. ⚠️ `run*()` in `session-ui.js` MUST unwrap the `{success,data}` envelope; reading the raw shape silently breaks the run. → [architecture-invariants#external-cli-modes-opencode-codex-gemini](docs/architecture-invariants.md#external-cli-modes-opencode-codex-gemini)
+
+**Run launch synchronization**: the Run entrypoint holds an in-flight lock and disables `#runBtn` for the whole launch (≥500ms), so a double click cannot create duplicate sessions with the same `w<n>-<case>` name. `_ensureCreatedSessionVisible()` runs before `selectSession()`, and `_onSessionCreated()` stays an idempotent upsert, so POST-first and SSE-first ordering both produce exactly one rendered tab. → [architecture-invariants#run-launch-synchronization](docs/architecture-invariants.md#run-launch-synchronization)
+
+**Unified session list**: `GET /api/sessions/unified` merges live sessions, persisted state, lifecycle-log history, and Claude transcript files into one deduped list (pure core in `src/services/unified-session-service.ts`). Transcript rows fold into their owning session via a `claudeSessionId → Codeman id` alias map, so resumed and `/clear`-respawned sessions do not appear twice. No terminal buffers in the response, unlike `/api/sessions`. Backs the Cmd+K Session Manager, plus pinning and cross-device tab order (`PUT /api/session-order`; pure merge helpers in `src/session-order.ts`, pushing device wins and server-only ids are never dropped). → [architecture-invariants#unified-session-list-and-session-manager](docs/architecture-invariants.md#unified-session-list-and-session-manager)
 
 **Hook events**: Claude Code hooks trigger via `/api/hook-event`. Key events: `permission_prompt`, `elicitation_dialog`, `idle_prompt`, `stop`, `teammate_idle`, `task_completed`. See `src/hooks-config.ts`; upstream hook semantics mirrored in `docs/claude-code-hooks-reference.md`.
 
 **Agent Teams**: `TeamWatcher` polls `~/.claude/teams/`, matches to sessions via `leadSessionId`. Teammates are in-process threads appearing as subagents. Enable: `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`. See `docs/agent-teams/`.
 
-**Circuit breaker**: Prevents respawn thrashing. States: `CLOSED` → `HALF_OPEN` → `OPEN`. Reset: `/api/sessions/:id/ralph-circuit-breaker/reset`.
+**Circuit breakers**: the Ralph breaker prevents respawn thrashing (`CLOSED` → `HALF_OPEN` → `OPEN`; reset via `/api/sessions/:id/ralph-circuit-breaker/reset`). **Distinct: the PTY-exit breaker** (`session-pty-exit-breaker.ts`) trips after repeated rapid PTY exits and blocks auto-restarts. ⚠️ It resets ONLY via an explicit `{clearBreaker:true}` body on `POST /api/sessions/:id/interactive`; the frontend's auto-reattach in `selectSession()` sends no body and must never clear it. → [architecture-invariants#circuit-breakers-ralph--pty-exit](docs/architecture-invariants.md#circuit-breakers-ralph-and-pty-exit)
 
-**Self-update** (App Settings → Updates): in-app updater for **git-clone installs** supervised by systemd/launchd. Supervisors: `systemd` (user unit), `launchd` (GUI LaunchAgent, gui-domain kickstart), `launchd-daemon` (KeepAlive system LaunchDaemon on headless Macs — restarts rootlessly by killing the server PID and letting launchd respawn it; detected only when the daemon is bootstrapped AND KeepAlive), else `none` → "restart manually" message; on next boot a manual-restart status auto-completes when the running version matches the target. The update restarts the very process running it, so the real work runs in a DETACHED `scripts/self-update.sh` (`git checkout <release tag> && npm install && npm run build && restart`) that outlives the restart; it writes progress to `dataPath('update-status.json')`, which the browser polls across the connection drop. Channel = latest `codeman@X.Y.Z` release tag; dirty trees are auto-stashed. `src/web/self-update.ts` splits PURE helpers (semver/tag parsing, reconcile decision — unit-tested) from IO wrappers (`getInstallInfo`/`checkForUpdate`/`startUpdate`/`reconcileUpdateOnBoot`). Routes: `GET /api/system/update/check`, `POST /api/system/update`, `GET /api/system/update/status`. Types: `src/types/update.ts`. npm installs report as non-updatable.
+**Full-scrollback replay**: `GET /api/sessions/:id/terminal?full=1` returns the entire tmux scrollback, bounded by the configured history limit. On success the capture is returned ALONE (`source='mux-full-history'`), superseding the byte buffer so nothing duplicates. Only the FIRST buffer load after a page load requests `full=1`; tab switches keep the cheap `?tail=` path. → [architecture-invariants#full-scrollback-replay](docs/architecture-invariants.md#full-scrollback-replay)
 
-**Attachments** (live external document references; COD-37/#119 core, COD-38/#120 previews, COD-39/#121 history): all wiring in `file-routes.ts`. **Registry** (`attachment-registry.ts`): an **in-memory** map of a stable `attachmentId` → an absolute, `realpath`-resolved, extension-allowlisted file path, so browser requests (`GET /api/sessions/:id/attachments/:attachmentId/raw`) never carry arbitrary absolute paths; `POST /api/sessions/:id/attachments` registers one. **Magic links** (`attachment-magic.ts`): parses `codeman://attach?...` out of terminal output — ⚠️ this scanner is prompt-injectable, so the scan path is **force-confined to the session workspace** (a hostile prompt could otherwise make it read arbitrary host files over SSE); emits the `attachment:detected` SSE event. Security gate is an extension **allowlist** (`isSupportedAttachmentExtension`, in the registry/magic modules), not a blocklist; a separate path layer (`config/attachment-guard.ts`) confines reads to the workspace (`attachmentConfineToWorkspace`) and blocks sensitive trees (`/root`, `/etc`). **Previews + thumbnails** (COD-38): `:attachmentId/preview` + `:attachmentId/thumbnail` (and the workspace-file equivalents `file-preview`/`file-thumbnail`) render Office docs/PDFs via external converters (`pdftoppm` / LibreOffice `soffice` / Word-COM `powershell`); `document-preview-cache.ts` is a shared disk cache (de-dups *identical* in-flight inputs), `document-thumbnailer.ts` does best-effort first-page images, and `document-conversion-limiter.ts` is a **global converter-spawn concurrency cap** (`runWithConversionLimit`) — without it, N distinct large docs detected at once fork N multi-minute converter processes = a localhost fork-bomb-shaped resource-exhaustion vector. **History drawer** (COD-39): `session-attachment-history.ts` tracks the last `ATTACHMENT_HISTORY_LIMIT` (100) attachments per session (`Session._attachmentHistory`, persisted via `SessionState.attachmentHistory`, replayed so externals re-register on reconnect); `GET /api/sessions/:id/attachments` is the list endpoint. ⚠️ The history drawer's launcher button is desktop-only — hidden on phones (regression-guarded; see `mobile-header-buttons-policy` test). Session-local files keep using the existing workspace-scoped `file-routes` paths; the registry is only for explicit live externals.
+**Self-update** (App Settings → Updates): in-app updater for git-clone installs supervised by systemd/launchd (`systemd`, `launchd`, `launchd-daemon`, else `none` → "restart manually"). The update restarts the very process running it, so the real work runs in a DETACHED `scripts/self-update.sh` that outlives the restart and writes progress to `update-status.json`, which the browser polls across the connection drop. `src/web/self-update.ts` splits pure helpers (unit-tested) from IO wrappers. npm installs report as non-updatable. → [architecture-invariants#self-update](docs/architecture-invariants.md#self-update)
 
-**Ultracode / Workflow-run visualization** (opt-in `showUltracodeAgents`, default OFF; released 1.1.2): the Workflow tool ("ultracode") writes a run-state JSON per run at `~/.claude/projects/<projHash>/<sessionUuid>/workflows/wf_*.json`. `workflow-run-watcher.ts` (STANDALONE — deliberately never imports/touches `subagent-watcher.ts`; disjoint directory tree, separate singleton) globs that tree via periodic poll + per-run chokidar watcher with per-file mtime skip, and broadcasts SSE `workflow:run_discovered`/`run_updated`/`run_removed`. The watcher is only started when the setting is on (`server.ts` gates on `showUltracodeAgents`). Served via `GET /api/workflows` (optional `?minutes=` filter) and `GET /api/workflows/:runId`. Frontend `ultracode-panel.js` renders a docked master-detail view (LEFT: runs + phases; RIGHT: per-agent tokens + tool-calls; click an agent card → its live transcript via client-side `agentId` join). **Additionally**, `ultracode-windows.js` auto-pops a draggable **floating window per active run** (gated on the same `showUltracodeAgents` setting), connected by a glowing line to the originating session tab (resolved by `session.claudeSessionId === run.sessionUuid`) — same line idiom as subagent windows, drawn into the shared `#connectionLines` SVG from the tail of `_updateConnectionLinesImmediate`. The window auto-closes ~8s after its run finishes; explicit dismissals are remembered. Types: `src/types/workflow-run.ts`. Config: `src/config/workflow-config.ts`.
+**Attachments** (live external document references; all wiring in `file-routes.ts`): a **registry** maps a stable `attachmentId` to a realpath-resolved, extension-allowlisted absolute path, so browser requests never carry arbitrary absolute paths. ⚠️ The **magic-link scanner** (`codeman://attach?...` in terminal output) is **prompt-injectable**, so its scan path is force-confined to the session workspace; a hostile prompt could otherwise exfiltrate arbitrary host files over SSE. The security gate is an extension **allowlist**, not a blocklist. `document-conversion-limiter.ts` caps converter spawns globally: without it, N large docs detected at once fork N multi-minute processes, which is a resource-exhaustion vector. → [architecture-invariants#attachments](docs/architecture-invariants.md#attachments)
+
+**Ultracode / workflow-run visualization** (opt-in, default OFF): the Workflow tool writes a completion artifact only at run *end*, so live in-flight runs exist solely as transcript dirs. `workflow-run-watcher.ts` therefore synthesizes ACTIVE runs from transcripts until the completion artifact appears and supersedes them. It is **STANDALONE** and deliberately never imports or touches `subagent-watcher.ts`, despite reading the same tree. Two independent toggles: `showUltracodeAgents` (docked panel) and `ultracodeFloatingWindows` (floating windows); the watcher starts if **either** is on. → [architecture-invariants#ultracode--workflow-run-visualization](docs/architecture-invariants.md#ultracode-and-workflow-run-visualization)
+
+**Cross-session search**: `GET /api/search` federates an in-memory search over session metadata, run-summary events, and attachment-history entries. The pure core `searchSources()` does substring matching with hard per-type caps: **no regex (so no ReDoS) and no filesystem reads (so no traversal)**. The server-private `externalPath` is never read. → [architecture-invariants#cross-session-search](docs/architecture-invariants.md#cross-session-search)
+
+**Web tabs** (dashboard URLs as tabs): a saved URL renders as a tab beside agent sessions. **NOT a sixth `SessionMode`** (no PTY, no tmux, no respawn), same reasoning that keeps Docker/remote-SSH as case overlays. Dashboards are **proxied through Codeman's own origin** by default, because a direct iframe fails three ways at once: prod is HTTPS so `http://` targets are blocked as mixed content, many dashboards send `X-Frame-Options: DENY`, and our own `default-src 'self'` CSP blocks cross-origin frames. Proxying leaves the prod CSP unchanged (`/webview/...` is `'self'`). ⚠️ The proxy is **NOT an API surface**: it authenticates on an in-memory capability in the path and is correspondingly exempt from the cookie + Origin checks; that exemption is fenced to safe methods and non-`/api` paths and is pinned by `test/webview-auth-exemption.test.ts`. ⚠️ Iframes omit `allow-same-origin` unless a dashboard is explicitly marked `trusted`, and `Authorization`/`codeman_session` are stripped upstream in **both** modes so `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` cannot leak. ⚠️ A sandboxed frame is **opaque-origin**, which breaks two things `curl` can never reproduce: its runtime-built root-absolute URLs escape `<base>` (fixed by an injected `runtimeUrlShim()`), and its same-host `fetch`/XHR are CORS-checked with `Origin: null` (fixed by `buildProxyCorsHeaders()` plus exempting the proxy from the global `OPTIONS`-204 short-circuit in `registerSecurityHeaders`). Both present as the dashboard's own "Failed to fetch" while the page renders fine. → [architecture-invariants#web-tabs](docs/architecture-invariants.md#web-tabs), `docs/web-tabs.md`
+
+**Multi-user mode** (opt-in `--multiuser` / `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`, OFF by default): named users with scrypt-hashed passwords in `~/.codeman/users.json`. Gated everywhere by `isMultiUserMode()`; when OFF, behavior is byte-identical to single-user because every scoping helper short-circuits. ⚠️ **Not a security boundary at the agent layer**: every session still runs as the SAME OS account. This separates WORKSPACES; it does not sandbox users (Docker cases are the isolation story). Ownership threads through `Session.owner` and is enforced in `findSessionOrFail`, list endpoints, SSE routing (fail-closed), WS, search, and file-preview. → [architecture-invariants#multi-user-mode](docs/architecture-invariants.md#multi-user-mode), `docs/multi-user-plan.md`
+
+**Away digest**: `GET /api/away-digest` aggregates what happened while you were away from the lifecycle log, run-summary events, live sessions, token stats, and recent subagents. Pure aggregator in `web/away-digest.ts`. ⚠️ Returns `{success:true,digest}`, a legacy raw-ish shape consistent with the other raw GET handlers in `system-routes.ts`; frontend and tests read `.digest`. → [architecture-invariants#away-digest](docs/architecture-invariants.md#away-digest)
+
+**Ralph todo-config**: per-session `maxTodos` (FIFO-eviction cap, default 500 = `MAX_TODOS_PER_SESSION`) + `todoExpirationMinutes` (auto-expiry, default 60) set via `POST /api/sessions/:id/ralph-config` (`RalphConfigSchema`, both `.int().positive()`). Stored on the tracker (`setMaxTodos`/`setTodoExpirationMinutes`) and **persisted/read-back via `RalphTrackerState`** (surfaced in the `loopState` getter → `toState()` + SSE broadcast → modal `populateRalphForm`), mirroring how `maxIterations` round-trips. Claude-only (skipped by `isExternalCliMode`).
 
 **Port interfaces**: Routes declare dependencies via port interfaces (`src/web/ports/`). Routes use intersection types (e.g., `SessionPort & EventPort`).
 
 ### Frontend
 
-Frontend JS modules have `@fileoverview` with `@dependency`/`@loadorder` tags. Load order: `constants.js`(1) → `mobile-handlers.js`(2) → `voice-input.js`(3) → `notification-manager.js`(4) → `keyboard-accessory.js`(5) → `input-cjk.js`(5.5) → `sanitize-html.js`(5.6) → `app.js`(6) → `terminal-ui.js`(7) → `respawn-ui.js`(8) → `ralph-panel.js`(9) → `orchestrator-panel.js`(9.5) → `settings-ui.js`(10) → `panels-ui.js`(11) → `ultracode-panel.js`(11.5) → `session-ui.js`(12) → `ralph-wizard.js`(13) → `api-client.js`(14) → `subagent-windows.js`(15) → `ultracode-windows.js`(15.5) → `image-input.js`(16). `input-cjk.js` handles CJK IME composition via an always-visible textarea below the terminal (`window.cjkActive` blocks xterm's onData).

-**Z-index layers**: subagent windows (1000), plan agents (1100), mobile/tablet fixed header (1200, `mobile.css`), modals on ≤768px (1300 — must beat the fixed header or the modal close button is buried; bug fixed in `b8cb467`), log viewers (2000), image popups (3000), local echo overlay (7).
+**Command palette + shortcut registry**: `Ctrl/Cmd/Alt+K` opens the session palette; shortcuts live in a rebindable registry (`DEFAULT_SHORTCUTS`/`getShortcutRegistry()`/`matchesShortcutEvent()` in app.js, overrides in `settings.shortcutOverrides`). ⚠️ Palette-chord keys must ALSO be swallowed in `attachCustomKeyEventHandler` (terminal-ui.js) or xterm writes the control byte (0x0B) into the PTY. ⚠️ `saveAppSettings()` rebuilds settings from the DOM, so keys edited elsewhere (`shortcutOverrides`, `showTokenCount`, `showCost`) need explicit `_prev` carry-over. → [architecture-invariants#command-palette-and-shortcut-registry](docs/architecture-invariants.md#command-palette-and-shortcut-registry)
 
-**Multi-monitor button** (header, top-right; the notification bell it sits beside stays hidden — notifications live in Settings → Notifications). `app.launchMultiMonitor()` (in `panels-ui.js`) POSTs `/api/system/span-displays`, which spawns `scripts/span-codeman.sh` — a fresh, maximized browser `--app` window sized to the union of all displays (macOS; needs "Displays have separate Spaces" OFF). Supports the gesture layer's in-page floating session panels dragging across the physical monitor seam. **Opt-in:** hidden by default; enable under App Settings → Display → **Header Displays** ("Multi-monitor Button", `showMultiMonitorButton`). The button carries a `btn-multimonitor--hidden` class in the template; `renderIndexHtml` strips that class at render when the setting is on (a unique class token, not a brittle match on the aria-label/style copy), and `applyHeaderVisibilitySettings()` toggles the same class live on save. Solo (detached) windows hide it via `body.solo-mode`.
+**Per-device vs synced settings**: the `displayKeys` set in settings-ui.js is a **client-side merge policy**, not a wire filter. A display key seeds from the server only when localStorage has no value for it, which is what prevents one device overwriting another; `showPlanUsageLimits` is additionally `delete`d from the incoming payload outright. Separately, `SettingsUpdateSchema` is `.strict()` and simply **does not declare** `skin`, `showFileViewerButton`, `showCronButton`, `webglRendererEnabled`, `localEchoEnabled`, `cjkInputEnabled`, or `extendedKeyboardBar`, so sending one of those is a validation error. The rest (`showResponseViewer`, `showPlanUsageLimits`, `language`, and most `show*` keys) ARE in the schema and do persist server-side; they are per-device by client policy only. ⚠️ Adding a new per-device setting means deciding **both** questions: membership in `displayKeys`, and presence in the schema.
 
-**Response-viewer (eye) button** (header) is likewise **hidden by default** — enable under App Settings → Display → **Response Viewer** (`showResponseViewer`). Purely client-side (no `renderIndexHtml` step): the template ships with `btn-response-viewer-header--hidden` and `applyHeaderVisibilitySettings()` (settings-ui.js) toggles it after settings load. Hiding must go through that marker class — the base rule is `display:inline-flex !important`, so an inline style can't override it. `showResponseViewer` is in the `displayKeys` per-device set (settings-ui.js), so it does NOT sync across devices.
+**Header button visibility**: most header controls are opt-in and hidden by a marker class (`btn-multimonitor--hidden`, `btn-response-viewer-header--hidden`, `btn-file-viewer--hidden`, `btn-cron--hidden`) that `applyHeaderVisibilitySettings()` (settings-ui.js) toggles after settings load; the multi-monitor button is instead stripped at render by `renderIndexHtml`. ⚠️ Hiding must go through the marker class: the base rules are `display:inline-flex !important`, so an inline style cannot override them. Current desktop default is WS/CPU/MEM + File Viewer + gear, with the token chip and lifecycle-log button OFF. ⚠️ New header controls must not leak onto phones; `test/mobile-header-buttons-policy.test.ts` is the static guard. → [architecture-invariants#header-button-visibility-multi-monitor-response-viewer-file-viewer-cron](docs/architecture-invariants.md#header-button-visibility-multi-monitor-response-viewer-file-viewer-cron)
 
-**Gesture control** (the camera hand-tracking overlay) is **opt-in, default OFF**, under App Settings → Display → **Input** (`gestureControlEnabled`). `CODEMAN_GESTURE=1` makes the feature *available* on the instance (CSP widening + `/gesture/` assets) and sets `window.__codemanGestureAvailable` (the Input section only shows when set); the overlay bundle is injected by `renderIndexHtml` **only when the setting is enabled**, so that method is `async` and reads `settings.json` via `readSettings(true)` — the `true` forces a **fresh** read (bypassing the 2s `_settingsCache`), because a post-save reload happens within that TTL and the cached value would otherwise render the pre-toggle state. Toggling the setting reloads the page (the bundle is render-injected).
+**Gesture control** (camera hand-tracking overlay, opt-in, default OFF): `CODEMAN_GESTURE=1` makes the feature *available*; `gestureControlEnabled` turns it on. The bundle is injected by `renderIndexHtml` only when enabled, which is why that method is `async` and reads settings with `readSettings(true)` (a fresh read: a post-save reload lands inside the 2s cache TTL and would otherwise render the pre-toggle state). **Source lives in `packages/gesture-control/`; edit there, run `npm run build:gesture`, and commit the regenerated bundle** because dev serves the committed bundle with no runtime bundler. The MediaPipe wasm + model are fetched separately and gitignored. ⚠️ Keep `MP_VERSION` in `fetch-gesture-assets.mjs` in sync with `@mediapipe/tasks-vision`. → [architecture-invariants#gesture-control-the-source-package](docs/architecture-invariants.md#gesture-control-the-source-package)
 
-**Gesture-control source lives in-repo** at `packages/gesture-control/` (workspace package `codeman-gesture-control`, was the standalone `Ark0N/codeman-gesture-control` repo). The transport-agnostic core is `src/gesture/*` (MediaPipe GestureRecognizer → One-Euro-filtered cursor → pinch state machine); `src/codeman/entry.ts` is the Codeman *consumer* that maps grab/drag/drop onto real `.session-tab`/toolbar buttons and is the bundle entry. **Edit there, then run `npm run build:gesture`** (`scripts/build-gesture-bundle.mjs` → esbuild bundles `entry.ts`, MediaPipe JS included, into `src/web/public/gesture/gesture-codeman.js`) and **commit the regenerated bundle** — the committed bundle is what dev/`tsx` serves (no bundler at runtime), and `scripts/build.mjs` reruns the same step so prod always reflects current source. The MediaPipe **wasm + model** are NOT bundled — loaded at runtime from same-origin `/gesture/wasm` + `/gesture/gesture_recognizer.task`, fetched by `scripts/fetch-gesture-assets.mjs` (gitignored, see Gotchas). `entry.ts` mounts `window.__codemanGesture = new GestureBridge()` idempotently at module-eval. A standalone vite playground (`npm run dev` in the package — fake tabs, no Codeman) lets you iterate on gesture *feel* in isolation. ⚠️ Keep `MP_VERSION` in `fetch-gesture-assets.mjs` in sync with `@mediapipe/tasks-vision` in `packages/gesture-control/package.json`.
+**Theme skins / branding / i18n**: `skin` selects a palette via `data-skin` on `<html>`, applied by an **inline pre-paint script** in `index.html` reading `localStorage['codeman:skin']` to avoid a flash of wrong theme. `displayName` changes user-facing browser branding only and must NEVER rename npm package, CLI, API, storage, CSS, or protocol identifiers. `language` (`en`/`zh-CN`) keeps English as the canonical source so live switching stays reversible. User display names flow through `textContent`/attribute APIs and the server title's HTML escaper, never `innerHTML`. → [architecture-invariants#theme-skins](docs/architecture-invariants.md#theme-skins)
 
-**Theme skins** (App Settings → Display): the `skin` setting selects a palette via a `data-skin` attribute on `<html>`. Values: `daylight-blue` (default), `daylight-green`, `og` (OG Codeman). CSS lives under `[data-skin="…"]` blocks in `styles.css`. To avoid a flash-of-wrong-theme, an **inline pre-paint script** in `index.html` (`<head>`) reads `localStorage['codeman:skin']` and sets `data-skin` before first paint; `settings-ui.js` `applyTheme()`/`applyTerminalSkin()` apply it live on save and keep the standalone `codeman:skin` key + the settings object in sync. `skin` is a **per-device/client-only** setting — it's destructured OUT of the server payload (settings-ui.js, alongside `localEchoEnabled`/`cjkInputEnabled`/`extendedKeyboardBar`), so it does NOT sync across devices.
+**Foldable settings identity**: responsive layout is width-driven via `MobileDetection.getDeviceType()`, but the localStorage namespace uses `MobileDetection.isHandheldDevice()` so an unfolded Android foldable keeps `codeman-app-settings-mobile`. ⚠️ Do not switch per-device settings namespaces from instantaneous viewport width: a posture-triggered WebView reload would lose opt-in UI. Regression profile: `OPPO Find N5 (unfolded)` in `test/mobile/devices.ts`. → [architecture-invariants#foldable-settings-identity](docs/architecture-invariants.md#foldable-settings-identity)
+
+**WebGL renderer toggle** (`webglRendererEnabled`, per-device): the GPU-stall watchdog's sticky `codeman-webgl-disabled` marker survives page loads and is cleared only by an explicit OFF→ON save or `?webgl=force`. `?nowebgl` forces the DOM renderer per-load. → [architecture-invariants#webgl-renderer-toggle](docs/architecture-invariants.md#webgl-renderer-toggle)
+
+**Phone toolbar: Enter replaces Shell** (post-1.8.0): inside `@media (max-width: 430px)` `btn-shell` is `display:none` and `btn-enter` takes its slot (`order: 4`); starting a shell moved into the Run dropdown (`Terminal / Shell` → `setRunMode('shell')` → `run()` → `runShell()`, button label "Run SH"). `runMode` is `z.string().max(20)` server-side, so new modes need no schema change. Desktop and tablet keep the green Run Shell button unchanged.
+
+⚠️ **`sendEnterKey()` MUST go through `terminal._core.coreService.triggerDataEvent('\r', true)`** — not `sendInput()`, and never a raw POST to `/api/sessions/:id/input`. `localEchoEnabled` defaults to `MobileDetection.isTouchDevice()`, so on every phone the characters you type are buffered in the `LocalEchoOverlay` and have **never reached the PTY**; the `onData` Enter branch in terminal-ui.js is what flushes `pendingText` first and only then sends `\r` (after an 80ms delay so text lands first). Sending a bare `\r` submits an empty line and strands the typed text on screen, so the button looks dead. Replaying the keypress reuses the overlay flush, the flushed-offset cleanup and the ordering instead of reimplementing them. `KeyboardAccessory.sendKey()` is for escape sequences (arrows/Esc) and is the WRONG template to copy for input.
+
+⚠️ **Skin overrides outrank plain class rules.** `styles.css` nests its skin block inside `html:not([data-skin="og"]) { … }`, so a bare `.btn-toolbar` rule in there resolves to specificity **(0,2,1)** and beats a `.btn-toolbar.btn-x` rule **(0,2,0)** in `mobile.css` regardless of load order. Toolbar-button colors set from mobile.css therefore need `!important` — that is why mobile.css leans on it so heavily. Symptom: only your `!important` properties land and everything else silently renders in generic toolbar grey.

+**Full model: [`docs/security-architecture.md`](docs/security-architecture.md)** (network binding, auth pipeline, the tunnel caveat, file-serving hardening, supply-chain, instance isolation, recommended setups). **Layer-by-layer detail with the history behind each: [architecture-invariants#security-layers](docs/architecture-invariants.md#security-layers).**
 
-| Layer | Details |
-|-------|---------|
-| **Auth** | Optional HTTP Basic via `CODEMAN_USERNAME` (defaults to `admin`) / `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` env vars. Active only when `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` is set (`middleware/auth.ts`) |
-| **Network bind** | Defaults to `127.0.0.1` (loopback). A non-loopback bind (`--host`/`CODEMAN_HOST`) without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` **starts but warns loudly** (0.9.0; was fail-closed in COD-29/#107). `--allow-unauthenticated-network` / `CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1` acknowledges the warning. Classifier: `network-auth-policy.ts` |
-| **Host guard** | Always-on Host-header allowlist blocks DNS rebinding (RCE on the default no-auth loopback install). Allows loopback, any IP literal, the bind host, `*.ts.net`/`*.trycloudflare.com`/`*.cfargotunnel.com`, the active managed tunnel, and `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS`. ⚠️ **Custom reverse-proxy domains are rejected** unless added via `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS=host,.suffix`. `registerHostGuard` in `server.ts`; policy in `network-auth-policy.ts` (`buildHostPolicy`/`isAllowedRequestHost`/`isAllowedRequestOrigin`) |
-| **CSRF / Origin** | Always-on cross-site Origin guard rejects state-changing requests from foreign origins (covers self-update, session create/input, settings/tunnel toggles). **A missing Origin is allowed** so curl/CLI and Claude Code hooks keep working. The global body parser keeps `text/plain` RAW (no auto-JSON-parse, which had enabled simple-request CSRF); `/api/crash-diag` self-parses. WebSocket upgrade validates Origin+Host (anti-CSWSH) in `ws-routes.ts`. Added in `c669518` (closes 2026-06-09 review CRITICALs) |
-| **QR Auth** | Single-use 6-char tokens (60s TTL) for tunnel login. See `docs/qr-auth-plan.md` |
-| **Sessions** | 24h cookie (`codeman_session`), auto-extend, device context audit |
-| **Rate limit** | 10 failed auth/IP → 429 (15min decay). QR has separate limiter |
-| **Hook bypass** | `/api/hook-event` (and `/api/status-telemetry`, the statusLine exporter) exempt from auth (localhost-only, schema-validated). While the **managed tunnel** runs, the bypass additionally requires the per-instance `X-Codeman-Hook-Secret` header (COD-54, `config/hook-secret.ts`): hook curls cat the secret file at exec time via `$CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE` (session env), failures rate-limit in a dedicated bucket (never lock out login). External loopback proxies (own cloudflared/`tailscale serve`) aren't detected — plain bypass still applies there. Tunnel enable **refuses** without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` unless exposure is acknowledged — via `CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1` (env, COD-55) **or** the per-request `acknowledgeUnauthTunnel:true` action field (1.1.9): the welcome/settings tunnel toggle pops a security confirm dialog and, on confirm, resends with that flag (server logs a loud warning on every passwordless tunnel start; curl/API stay refused without password/env/flag). The flag is an action field, never persisted |
-| **Env vars** | `CODEMAN_MUX` (managed session), `CODEMAN_API_URL` (auto-set for hooks), `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` (extra Host/Origin allowlist entries for reverse proxies, comma-separated; bare `.suffix` matches subdomains) |
-| **Validation** | Zod schemas, path allowlist regex, env prefix allowlist (`CLAUDE_CODE_*`/`OPENCODE_*`/`CODEX_*`) |
-| **Headers** | CORS localhost-only, CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS if HTTPS |

+Two constraints worth knowing before you touch them: the env-derived PTY buffer trim is **clamped to ≤75% of max**, because a trim ≥ max would disable `BufferAccumulator` trimming entirely and make memory unbounded; and browser xterm scrollback is a **separate hardcoded 50k** (`DEFAULT_SCROLLBACK` in constants.js), deliberately lower than tmux's 100k history because 100k per tab is a mobile-memory hazard.

It prompts for the network binding (LAN default + password prompt) and preserves the existing binding on re-runs via `read_existing_binding()`. `install.sh update` and `install.sh uninstall` also exist; `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` approves system changes for automation.

+- **Network or local-only, your choice.** The installer asks whether the dashboard should be reachable from other devices on your network (`0.0.0.0`, the default, with a strongly recommended password prompt) or from this machine only (`127.0.0.1`, safest). Skipping the password on a network bind requires an explicit confirmation and ends with a loud warning. A bare `codeman web` started by hand still defaults to loopback.
+- **Re-run to update.** The same one-liner updates a finished install in place: local changes in `~/.codeman/app` are stashed (never discarded), and a running service is restarted and verified. If a first install was interrupted, re-running resumes the full setup instead. `install.sh update` and `install.sh uninstall` also exist.
+- **CI / headless:** without a terminal attached, steps that would change your system abort with instructions instead of running silently. Set `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` to approve them for automation.
+
+You'll need at least one AI coding CLI installed — [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai), [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli), or [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) (any combination works). The installer detects whichever of the four is present; if none is found, it offers to install Claude Code or OpenCode, or you can skip and install one yourself later. After install:
 
 ```bash
 codeman web
 # Open http://localhost:3000 and start your first session
 ```
 
+**Sharing with a small team?** Start it in multi-user mode instead: each person gets their own login and workspace.
+
+```bash
+codeman users add alice --admin      # create the first admin account
+codeman web --multiuser              # named logins + per-user case spaces
+```

+## Using Codeman — A Human's Guide
+
+A start-to-finish walkthrough for driving Codeman from the browser. If you just installed, this is where to begin.
+
+### 1. Launch the server
+
+```bash
+codeman web                       # localhost:3000 (loopback only — safe default)
+codeman web --port 8080           # custom port (or set CODEMAN_PORT)
+codeman web --https               # self-signed TLS (only needed for remote access)
+codeman web -H 0.0.0.0            # bind LAN — REQUIRES CODEMAN_PASSWORD (see Security)
+```
+
+Open the printed URL. The page is a single dashboard; everything below happens there.
+
+### 2. Create your first session
+
+Click **+ New Session** (or **Quick Start**). A session is one AI CLI running in its own tmux-backed terminal. You choose:
+
+| Field                        | What it does                                                                                                        |
+| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Working directory / case** | The folder the agent operates in. A "case" is just a named working dir Codeman remembers.                           |
+| **CLI / run mode**           | `Claude` (default), `OpenCode`, `Codex`, `Gemini`, or `Terminal` (plain shell).                                     |
+| **Model**                    | Per-session model (App Settings → Claude Model). A soft default — `/model` still works in-session.                  |
+| **Effort / Ultracode**       | Reasoning effort (`low`–`max`) or `ultracode` for dynamic multi-agent workflows. Switchable anytime with `/effort`. |
+
+Hit start — Codeman spawns the CLI via a real PTY and streams it to your browser over SSE.
+
+### 3. Read the dashboard
+
+- **Tabs (top)** — one per session. `Alt+1`-`9` to jump, `Ctrl+Tab` for next, drag to reorder (tab order syncs across your devices).
+- **Terminal (center)** — a real `xterm.js` terminal; full TUIs render correctly. Type directly and press **Enter** to send. `Shift+Enter` inserts a newline.
+- **Side panels** — Respawn, Ralph, Orchestrator, Cron, Subagents, Settings (toggled from the toolbar).
+
+### 4. Talk to the agent
+
+- **Type prompts** straight into the terminal — input is delivered exactly-once even across reconnects (a dropped link never loses or double-sends a prompt).
+- **Paste or drag-and-drop images** directly into the session.
+- **Voice input** — `Ctrl+Shift+V` (Deepgram Nova-3, with auto-silence stop).
+- **Attachments** — register external files/docs and preview Office/PDF inline.
+
+### 5. Make it autonomous
+
+| Mode             | Use it for                                                                                                                        | Where                                                               |
+| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Respawn**      | Long unattended runs — auto-restarts the CLI on idle/limit, with adaptive timing. Presets: `solo-work`, `overnight-autonomous`, … | Respawn tab                                                         |
+| **Ralph / Todo** | A self-driving loop that tracks a todo list and keeps working until done.                                                         | Ralph tab                                                           |
+| **Orchestrator** | Turn one goal into a phased plan and drive it to completion across agents.                                                        | Orchestrator panel                                                  |
+| **Cron**         | Saved, named jobs on a schedule (`once`/`interval`/`daily`/`weekly`) that spawn a session and send a prompt when due.             | ⏰ Cron button _(opt-in: App Settings → Display → Header Displays)_ |
+| **Auto-resume**  | Automatically continue after a subscription rate-limit resets.                                                                    | Respawn tab (top)                                                   |
+
+### 6. Reach it from anywhere
+
+- **Phone/tablet** — the UI is fully touch-optimized; scan the desktop **QR code** to log in without typing a password.
+- **Outside your network** — `./scripts/tunnel.sh start` opens a Cloudflare tunnel (set `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` first).
+- **SSH** — the `sc` chooser attaches to any session from a terminal (`sc` interactive, `sc 2` quick-attach, `sc -l` list).
+
+### 7. Operate & maintain
+
+- **App Settings** — model, effort, permission startup mode, theme/skin, notifications, display toggles, per-CLI options, a synced custom display name, and per-device English/Simplified Chinese UI language.
+- **Self-update** — git-clone installs update in place from **Settings → Updates**.
+- **Deploy your own changes** — see [Development](#development).
+
+> ⚠️ **Safety:** if you're working _inside_ a Codeman-managed session (`echo $CODEMAN_MUX` → `1`), never run `tmux kill-session` / `pkill claude` directly — use the web UI or `./scripts/tmux-manager.sh`.

+## Isolated Docker Sessions
+
+Run a case inside its own hardened Docker container instead of directly on your host — for security isolation, reproducible toolchains, and one-click portability.
+
+- **One click** — on **New Case → Create New**, tick **🐳 Run in an isolated Docker container**. Codeman creates the case folder, spins up a container with default settings, and starts the agent inside it. No host/image/network fields to fill in.
+- **Resource templates** — expand the checkbox for a **Small / Medium / Large / GPU** preset (memory, CPUs, GPU), or set your own. **Disk is elastic** — storage grows as data flows in, no fixed cap.
+- **Shared per-case container** — many sessions can `docker exec` into the same container; killing one session never tears the container out from under the others.
+- **Hardened by default** — non-root, `--cap-drop ALL`, `no-new-privileges`, PID/memory caps, never `--privileged` or the docker socket; a **sealed** profile (no host credentials, network off) is one toggle away.
+- **Seamless auth, isolated credentials** — your host Claude / Codex / Gemini / OpenCode logins work inside the container out of the box: credentials are seeded (copied) in at launch and onboarding/trust prompts are pre-answered, so no login wizard appears. The container keeps its own copies and never writes back to your host credential stores; only conversation transcripts are shared, and exports never capture secrets.
+- **Move it to another machine** — export a container's whole environment (toolchain + workspace) to a portable `.tar.gz`, `docker load` it on the other side, and import it into a fresh case.
+- **Durable** — reconnect after a restart lands back in the same live agent; a container stop/reboot resumes the conversation from the bind-mounted transcript.
+
+Prerequisite: just Docker (or Podman). The agent base image builds itself automatically on first use, with progress streamed to the UI (or pre-build it with `node scripts/build-agent-image.mjs`). Full guide: [`docs/docker-cases.md`](docs/docker-cases.md).
+
+---
+
+## Remote SSH Sessions
+
+Point a case at another machine and run the agent **there**, over SSH, with the same dashboard, mobile UI, and autonomy features. Your laptop is just a window onto a session that lives on the remote host.
+
+- **Durable by design**: the agent runs inside a dedicated tmux session on the remote host, so a dropped SSH connection, network change, or laptop sleep never kills the run. Reconnecting lands back in the same live conversation.
+- **Auto-reconnect**: a bounded-backoff watcher notices a dead SSH pane and silently reattaches to the still-running remote session (kill-switch in settings; intentional kills are never revived).
+- **Discover & attach**: list the `codeman-*` sessions already running on a host (started by that machine's own Codeman, or by another operator) and attach to one. Attached sessions you don't own **detach on tab close, never kill**.
+- **Shared sessions**: several clients can attach the same remote session at different window sizes without clamping each other; discovery shows a "shared" badge with the client count.
+- **Injection-safe**: every ssh command line flows through a single shell-escaping builder, and host/path/identity fields are schema-guarded.
+
+Set it up under **New Case → Remote** (host, user, identity file, optional jump host). Full design: [`docs/remote-sessions.md`](docs/remote-sessions.md).
+
+---
+
+## Multi-User Mode (opt-in)
+
+Share one Codeman with a small trusted team, each person getting their own login and workspace. **Off by default** — without the flag, nothing changes.
+
+Enable with `codeman web --multiuser` (or `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`). Create the first admin, then manage users from the CLI or the **Users** tab in App Settings:
+
+```bash
+codeman users add alice --admin      # prompts for a password (or --password-stdin)
+codeman users add bob                # a regular user
+codeman users list
+```
+
+- **Per-user spaces** — each user's cases live under `~/codeman-users/<name>/cases`; sessions, cases, search, and real-time events are scoped to their owner. Admins see everything.
+- **Individually revocable logins** — named users with scrypt-hashed passwords in `~/.codeman/users.json`; disable, reset (one-time password), or delete an account at any time. Admin actions are audited to `~/.codeman/admin-audit.jsonl`.
+- **Safer defaults for regular users** — non-admins run Claude in `--permission-mode auto` (Anthropic's classifier-guarded mode); raw shell sessions, cron `launchCommand`, and skip-permissions require an explicit per-user grant.
+
+> ⚠️ **This separates workspaces; it does not sandbox users from each other.** Every session runs as the same OS account, so a determined user's agent can still reach another user's files. For real isolation, pair users with **Docker cases** or run separate instances under separate OS accounts. See [`docs/multi-user-plan.md`](docs/multi-user-plan.md) and the multi-user section of [`docs/security-architecture.md`](docs/security-architecture.md).

 ### Network & access
 
-- **Loopback by default** — binds `127.0.0.1`, reachable only from the same machine, so the no-password default is safe out of the box. Binding a non-loopback host without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` *starts but prints a loud warning* with three concrete fixes (set a password, loopback + an authenticated tunnel, or explicitly acknowledge with `--allow-unauthenticated-network`)
+- **Loopback by default** — the server binary binds `127.0.0.1`, reachable only from the same machine, so the no-password default is safe out of the box (the guided installer asks about network access and configures the binding + password for you). Binding a non-loopback host without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` _starts but prints a loud warning_ with three concrete fixes (set a password, loopback + an authenticated tunnel, or explicitly acknowledge with `--allow-unauthenticated-network`)
 - **Optional auth, real sessions** — HTTP Basic via `CODEMAN_USERNAME` (default `admin`) / `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`. Success issues an opaque 256-bit `codeman_session` cookie (`randomBytes(32)`) — validated server-side, not client-signed, so it can't be forged offline (24h TTL, auto-extend, device-context audit log)
-- **Per-IP rate limiting** — 10 failed attempts → `429` with `Retry-After` (15-min decay). A valid cookie or correct password recovers *immediately* even while an attacker hammers the same IP — important because all tunnel traffic shares one loopback IP. QR auth has its own separate limiter

+- **Configurable permission mode** - `--dangerously-skip-permissions` is only the default. **App Settings → Claude CLI → Startup Mode** can switch new sessions to Anthropic's classifier-guarded `auto` mode (low-prompt, needs Claude Code 2.1.207+), `normal` prompting, or an explicit allowed-tools list. In multi-user mode, non-granted users are forced to `auto`, and shell sessions / skip-permissions require an explicit per-user grant
 
 ### Always-on browser hardening (v0.9.5)
 
 These run for **every** request — before auth, even on the default no-password loopback install:
 
 - **Host-header allowlist → blocks DNS rebinding.** A custom domain rebound to `127.0.0.1` is rejected with `403 host not allowed` before any handler runs. Allowed: `localhost`, any IP literal, the bind host, `.ts.net` / `.trycloudflare.com` / `.cfargotunnel.com`, the active managed tunnel, and `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` (add custom reverse-proxy domains here — comma-separated; exact host or leading-dot `.suffix` for subdomains)
-- **Cross-site Origin / CSRF guard.** On state-changing methods (`POST`/`PUT`/`PATCH`/`DELETE`) the `Origin` must pass the same allowlist, else `403 cross-site request blocked`. A *missing* Origin is allowed (so `curl`, the CLI, and Claude Code hooks keep working); only a present-but-foreign or opaque `null` origin is rejected
+- **Cross-site Origin / CSRF guard.** On state-changing methods (`POST`/`PUT`/`PATCH`/`DELETE`) the `Origin` must pass the same allowlist, else `403 cross-site request blocked`. A _missing_ Origin is allowed (so `curl`, the CLI, and Claude Code hooks keep working); only a present-but-foreign or opaque `null` origin is rejected
 - **Raw `text/plain` bodies.** The global parser no longer JSON-parses `text/plain`, closing the CORS "simple request" CSRF vector where a cross-site `fetch` could smuggle JSON into a write route with no preflight
 - **WebSocket origin validation.** The terminal WS upgrade runs the same Host + Origin check and closes with code `4003` on failure (anti-CSWSH)
 - **XSS-escaped agent output.** AI-derived strings (tool names, command arguments, subagent descriptions) are HTML-escaped at every injection site before rendering in the subagent / activity panels
 
 ### Input, files & headers

+- **Schema-validated inputs** — every API body is checked with Zod v4 schemas; a `CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*` / `CODEX_*` / `GEMINI_*` / `GOOGLE_*` env-prefix allowlist gates which settings each CLI can receive
 - **Path containment** — file routes `realpath` before boundary checks (no TOCTOU); `..`, absolute paths, and symlinks resolving outside the working dir are rejected. Caps: 10 MB text preview / 50 MB raw & download; `/api/download` blocklists sensitive paths (`.env`, `*credentials*`, `~/.ssh/`, `.aws/credentials`). SVG/HTML is served `octet-stream` + `nosniff` + attachment so it downloads rather than executes
 - **Security headers** — `Content-Security-Policy` (`default-src 'self'`, every exception enumerated), `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`, `X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN`, HSTS over HTTPS, and CORS reflected **only** for `localhost` / `127.0.0.1` / `::1`

+## Driving Codeman from an Agent — Programmatic Guide
+
+For AI agents and automation that control Codeman without a browser: an agent that spins up worker sessions, a CI bot, or **Claude Code running _inside_ a Codeman session orchestrating other sessions**. Everything the UI does is HTTP + a CLI, so an agent can do it too.
+
+### Detect that you're inside Codeman
+
+When a CLI runs in a Codeman-managed session, these environment variables are set — read them instead of hardcoding anything:
+
+| Variable                   | Meaning                                                                                                                              |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `CODEMAN_MUX=1`            | You're in a managed tmux session. **Never** `tmux kill-session` / `pkill claude` / `pkill tmux` — you'll kill yourself or a sibling. |
+| `CODEMAN_API_URL`          | Base URL of the API (e.g. `https://127.0.0.1:3000`). Use it for every call below.                                                    |
+| `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`       | _Your own_ session id. Use it to avoid acting on yourself.                                                                           |
+| `CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE` | Path to the hook secret (required on `/api/hook-event` while a managed tunnel is up).                                                |
+
+### Rules of the road (read before you POST)
+
+1. **Single-line input only.** Programmatic input is sent as literal text **+ Enter** in one shot. Multi-line strings break the agent TUI (Ink) — send one line, or split into multiple calls.
+2. **Make input idempotent.** Include a stable `clientId` and a monotonic per-session `seq` on `POST …/input`. The server de-duplicates, so a retry after a dropped connection can't double-deliver a prompt.
+3. **Auth.** If `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` is set, send HTTP Basic auth (user `admin` or `CODEMAN_USERNAME`) or a `codeman_session` cookie. The default loopback install is passwordless. A missing `Origin` header is allowed, so plain `curl` works; cross-site browser origins are rejected (CSRF guard).
+4. **Response envelope.** Most endpoints return `{ "success": true, "data": … }` (errors: `{ "success": false, "error", "errorCode" }`). A few legacy GETs return bare bodies — **handle both** (`body.data ?? body`).
+5. **`/api/v1/*`** is a stable alias of `/api/*`.
+
+### Recipes
+
+```bash
+API="${CODEMAN_API_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:3000}"
+# (add  -u admin:"$CODEMAN_PASSWORD"  to each call if a password is set)
+
+# 1. See what's running
+curl -s "$API/api/sessions" | jq '.data // .'
+
+# 2. Spin up a worker session (a "case" = named working dir)
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/quick-start" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"caseName":"refactor-auth","mode":"claude","effort":"high"}' | jq
+
+# 3. Send a prompt into a session (exactly-once: clientId + seq)
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/sessions/$SID/input" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"input":"Run the test suite and summarize failures","useMux":true,"clientId":"agent-1","seq":1}'
+
+# 4. Read the terminal back
+curl -s "$API/api/sessions/$SID/output" | jq -r '.data // .'
+
+# 5. Stream live events (session output, agent activity, status)
+curl -sN "$API/api/events"          # Server-Sent Events
+
+# 6. Schedule recurring work (cron-style job)
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/cron/jobs" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"name":"nightly-deps","agentType":"claude","workingDir":"/home/me/proj",
+       "promptMode":"inline_text","promptText":"Update dependencies and open a PR",
+       "inputMode":"typed","scheduleType":"daily","dailyTime":"03:00",
+       "enabled":true,"concurrencyPolicy":"warn_only"}' | jq
+
+# 7. Inspect background sub-agents and their transcripts
+curl -s "$API/api/subagents" | jq '.data // .'
+curl -s "$API/api/subagents/$AID/transcript" | jq -r '.data // .'
+
+# 8. Whole-system snapshot (sessions, settings, respawn, stats)
+curl -s "$API/api/status" | jq
+```
+
+### Or use the bundled CLI
+
+The same operations are available as commands (`codeman <cmd>`, aliases in parentheses) — handy from a shell tool inside a session:
+
+```bash
+codeman session start -d /path/to/repo   # (s)  start a session
+codeman session list                     #      list sessions
+codeman session logs <id>                #      tail output
+codeman task add "fix the failing test"  # (t)  queue a task
+codeman ralph start --min-hours 8        # (r)  launch the autonomous loop
+codeman attach <path>                     #      attach a Claude hook context
+```
+
+### Hooks (events flowing _back_ to Codeman)
+
+Codeman registers Claude Code hooks that `POST /api/hook-event` (`permission_prompt`, `idle_prompt`, `stop`, `task_completed`, …) so the dashboard reacts in real time. This endpoint is auth-exempt on loopback but, under a managed tunnel, requires the `X-Codeman-Hook-Secret` header (read it from `$CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE`). You normally don't call this by hand — Codeman wires it up — but it's how the autonomy layers "see" what the agent is doing.

 The codebase went through a comprehensive 7-phase refactoring that eliminated god objects, centralized configuration, and established modular architecture:
 
-| Phase | What changed | Impact |
-|-------|-------------|--------|
-| **Performance** | Cached endpoints, SSE adaptive batching, buffer chunking | Sub-16ms terminal latency |
-| **Route extraction** | `server.ts` split into 15 domain route modules + auth middleware + port interfaces | **−67%** server.ts LOC (6,736 → 2,254) |
-| **Domain splitting** | `types.ts` → 16 domain files, `ralph-tracker` → 7 files, `respawn-controller` → 5 files, `session` → 6 files | No more god files |
-| **Frontend modules** | `app.js` → 18 extracted modules across infra, domain & feature layers | app.js core down to **~3.4K LOC** |
-| **Config consolidation** | ~70 scattered magic numbers → 10 domain-focused config files | Zero cross-file duplicates |
-| **Test infrastructure** | Shared mock library, 12 route test files, consolidated MockSession | Testable route handlers via `app.inject()` |

+- **重跑即更新。** 再次运行同一条命令即可原地更新已完成的安装：`~/.codeman/app` 中的本地改动会被 stash（绝不丢弃），运行中的服务会自动重启并校验。若首次安装中途失败，重跑会继续完成完整的安装流程。也可以使用 `install.sh update` 与 `install.sh uninstall`。
+- **CI / 无终端环境：** 没有终端时，涉及系统改动的步骤会带着说明中止，而不是静默执行；在自动化场景设置 `CODEMAN_NONINTERACTIVE=1` 即可批准这些步骤。

+## 使用 Codeman —— 人类操作指南
+
+从头到尾走一遍如何在浏览器里驾驭 Codeman。如果你刚装好，就从这里开始。
+
+### 1. 启动服务器
+
+```bash
+codeman web                       # localhost:3000（仅环回 —— 安全默认值）
+codeman web --port 8080           # 自定义端口（或设置 CODEMAN_PORT）
+codeman web --https               # 自签名 TLS（仅远程访问时需要）
+codeman web -H 0.0.0.0            # 绑定局域网 —— 必须设置 CODEMAN_PASSWORD（见「安全」）
+```
+
+打开打印出的 URL。整个页面是一个单一仪表盘；下面的一切都在这里完成。
+
+### 2. 创建你的第一个会话
+
+点击 **+ New Session**（或 **Quick Start**）。一个会话就是一个运行在自己 tmux 终端里的 AI CLI。你可以选择：
+
+| 字段                   | 作用                                                                                        |
+| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **工作目录 / case**    | 智能体操作的文件夹。「case」就是一个 Codeman 记住的命名工作目录。                           |
+| **CLI / 运行模式**     | `Claude`（默认）、`OpenCode`、`Codex`、`Gemini` 或 `Terminal`（普通 shell）。               |
+| **模型**               | 每会话模型（App Settings → Claude Model）。软默认值 —— 会话内 `/model` 依然有效。           |
+| **Effort / Ultracode** | 推理力度（`low`–`max`），或用 `ultracode` 开启动态多智能体工作流。随时可用 `/effort` 切换。 |
+
+点击启动 —— Codeman 通过真实 PTY 拉起 CLI，并经 SSE 流式传输到你的浏览器。
+
+### 3. 读懂仪表盘
+
+- **标签（顶部）** —— 每个会话一个。`Alt+1`–`9` 跳转，`Ctrl+Tab` 下一个，拖拽排序（标签顺序会跨设备同步）。
+- **终端（中央）** —— 真实的 `xterm.js` 终端；完整 TUI 正常渲染。直接输入并按 **Enter** 发送。`Shift+Enter` 插入换行。
+- **侧边面板** —— Respawn、Ralph、Orchestrator、Cron、Subagents、Settings（从工具栏切换）。
+
+### 4. 与智能体对话
+
+- **直接在终端输入提示** —— 即使跨越重连，输入也是精确一次送达（连接中断绝不会丢失或重复发送提示）。
+- **粘贴或拖放图片**，直接进入会话。
+- **语音输入** —— `Ctrl+Shift+V`（Deepgram Nova-3，自动静音停止）。
+- **附件** —— 注册外部文件/文档，并内联预览 Office/PDF。
+
+### 5. 让它自主运行
+
+| 模式             | 用途                                                                                                      | 位置                                                               |
+| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |

+## 隔离的 Docker 会话
+
+让案例（case）运行在专属的加固 Docker 容器里，而不是直接跑在主机上：获得安全隔离、可复现的工具链和一键可移植性。
+
+- **一键启动** —— 在 **New Case → Create New** 中勾选 **🐳 Run in an isolated Docker container**。Codeman 会创建案例文件夹、用默认设置启动容器，并在容器内启动智能体。无需填写任何主机/镜像/网络字段。
+- **资源模板** —— 展开复选框可选 **Small / Medium / Large / GPU** 预设（内存、CPU、GPU），也可以完全自定义。**磁盘是弹性的** —— 存储随数据增长，没有固定上限。
+- **按案例共享容器** —— 多个会话可以 `docker exec` 进同一个容器；结束某个会话绝不会影响其他会话所在的容器。
+- **默认加固** —— 非 root、`--cap-drop ALL`、`no-new-privileges`、PID/内存上限，绝不使用 `--privileged` 或 docker socket；**密封（sealed）** 配置（不注入主机凭据、关闭网络）只需一个开关。
+- **无感认证、凭据隔离** —— 主机上的 Claude / Codex / Gemini / OpenCode 登录在容器内开箱即用：凭据在启动时以只读种子方式复制注入，onboarding/信任提示已预先答复，不会弹出登录向导。容器保留自己的副本，绝不回写主机的凭据存储；跨边界共享的只有对话转录，导出文件也绝不包含机密。
+- **迁移到另一台机器** —— 把容器的完整环境（工具链 + 工作区）导出为可移植的 `.tar.gz`，在另一台机器上导入到新案例即可继续。
+- **持久耐用** —— Codeman 重启后重连会回到同一个存活的智能体；容器停止/重启后则从绑定挂载的转录恢复对话。
+
+前置条件：只需 Docker（或 Podman）。智能体基础镜像会在首次使用时自动构建，构建进度实时显示在 UI 中（也可用 `node scripts/build-agent-image.mjs` 预构建）。完整指南：[`docs/docker-cases.md`](docs/docker-cases.md)。

+## 远程 SSH 会话
+
+把案例（case）指向另一台机器，通过 SSH 让智能体**在那台机器上**运行，同时保留同样的仪表盘、移动端 UI 与自主运行特性。你的笔记本只是一扇窗口，会话本体活在远程主机上。
+
+- **天生持久**：智能体运行在远程主机上一个专用的 tmux 会话里，SSH 断连、网络切换或笔记本休眠都不会中断任务。重新连接后回到同一个活跃对话。
+- **自动重连**：一个带上限退避的监视器发现 SSH 面板断开后，会静默重新附着到仍在运行的远程会话（设置中有总开关；主动杀掉的会话绝不会被复活）。
+- **发现与附着**：列出主机上已在运行的 `codeman-*` 会话（由那台机器自己的 Codeman 或其他操作者启动）并附着其一。非你所有的已附着会话在关闭标签时**只分离，绝不杀掉**。
+- **共享会话**：多个客户端可以以不同窗口尺寸同时附着同一个远程会话而互不挤压；发现列表会显示带客户端计数的「shared」徽标。
+- **注入安全**：所有 ssh 命令行都经由单一的 shell 转义构建器生成，主机/路径/身份文件字段均有模式校验。

+
+## 多用户模式（可选启用）
+
+与一个小型互信团队共享同一个 Codeman，每人拥有自己的登录与工作空间。**默认关闭**：不加该开关时，行为与单用户完全一致。
+
+用 `codeman web --multiuser`（或 `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`）启用。创建第一个管理员后，可通过 CLI 或 App Settings 中的 **Users** 标签页管理用户：
+
+```bash
+codeman users add alice --admin      # 提示输入密码（或 --password-stdin）
+codeman users add bob                # 普通用户
+codeman users list
+```
+
+- **按用户的空间**：每个用户的案例位于 `~/codeman-users/<name>/cases`；会话、案例、搜索与实时事件都按属主隔离。管理员可以看到全部。
+- **可单独吊销的登录**：命名用户的密码以 scrypt 哈希保存在 `~/.codeman/users.json`；可随时禁用、重置（一次性密码）或删除账号。管理员操作审计记录在 `~/.codeman/admin-audit.jsonl`。
+- **普通用户的更安全默认值**：非管理员以 `--permission-mode auto` 运行 Claude（Anthropic 的分类器护栏模式）；raw shell 会话、cron `launchCommand` 与跳过权限模式需要按用户显式授权。
+
+> ⚠️ **这只是工作空间的划分，不是用户之间的沙箱。** 所有会话都以同一个操作系统账户运行，因此有心用户的智能体依然能触及他人的文件。若需要真正的隔离，请结合 **Docker 案例**，或在不同的操作系统账户下运行独立实例。参见 [`docs/multi-user-plan.md`](docs/multi-user-plan.md) 与 [`docs/security-architecture.md`](docs/security-architecture.md) 的多用户章节。

 ### 网络与访问
 
 - **默认仅环回** —— 绑定 `127.0.0.1`，仅可从本机访问，因此「无密码」默认配置开箱即安全。在未设置 `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` 的情况下绑定非环回主机会*启动但打印一条醒目警告*，并给出三个具体修复方案（设置密码、环回 + 一个带认证的隧道，或用 `--allow-unauthenticated-network` 显式确认）
 - **可选认证，真实会话** —— 通过 `CODEMAN_USERNAME`（默认 `admin`）/ `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` 的 HTTP Basic 认证。成功后签发一个不透明的 256 位 `codeman_session` cookie（`randomBytes(32)`）—— 服务端校验，而非客户端签名，因此无法离线伪造（24h TTL、自动延长、设备上下文审计日志）
 - **按 IP 速率限制** —— 失败 10 次 → `429` 并带 `Retry-After`（15 分钟衰减）。即便攻击者在同一 IP 上猛攻，有效 cookie 或正确密码也能*立即*恢复 —— 这很重要，因为所有隧道流量共享同一个环回 IP。二维码认证有自己独立的限制器
+- **可配置的权限模式**：`--dangerously-skip-permissions` 只是默认值。**App Settings → Claude CLI → Startup Mode** 可以把新会话切换为 Anthropic 的分类器护栏 `auto` 模式（低打扰，需要 Claude Code 2.1.207+）、`normal` 提示模式，或一份显式的允许工具列表。多用户模式下，未获授权的用户会被强制为 `auto`，shell 会话与跳过权限需要按用户显式授权

+## 从智能体驱动 Codeman —— 编程指南
+
+面向不经浏览器控制 Codeman 的 AI 智能体与自动化：一个拉起工作会话的智能体、一个 CI 机器人，或是**运行在 Codeman 会话*内部*、编排其他会话的 Claude Code**。UI 能做的一切都是 HTTP + CLI，因此智能体也能做。
+
+### 检测自己身处 Codeman 内部
+
+当 CLI 运行在 Codeman 受管会话中时，以下环境变量会被设置 —— 读取它们，别硬编码任何东西：
+
+| 变量                       | 含义                                                                                                                 |
+| -------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `CODEMAN_MUX=1`            | 你在一个受管 tmux 会话里。**绝不要** `tmux kill-session` / `pkill claude` / `pkill tmux` —— 你会杀掉自己或兄弟会话。 |
+| `CODEMAN_API_URL`          | API 的基础 URL（例如 `https://127.0.0.1:3000`）。下面每个调用都用它。                                                |
+| `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`       | *你自己的*会话 id。用它避免对自己下手。                                                                              |
+| `CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE` | hook 密钥文件的路径（受管隧道开启时调用 `/api/hook-event` 必需）。                                                   |
+
+### 行路规则（POST 之前先读）
+
+1. **只发单行输入。** 编程输入会作为字面文本 **+ Enter** 一次性发送。多行字符串会破坏智能体 TUI（Ink）—— 发送一行，或拆成多次调用。
+2. **让输入幂等。** 在 `POST …/input` 上带上稳定的 `clientId` 和按会话单调递增的 `seq`。服务端会去重，因此连接中断后的重试不会重复投递提示。
+3. **认证。** 若设置了 `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`，发送 HTTP Basic 认证（用户 `admin` 或 `CODEMAN_USERNAME`）或 `codeman_session` cookie。默认的环回安装无密码。缺失的 `Origin` 头被允许，因此普通 `curl` 可用；跨站的浏览器 origin 会被拒绝（CSRF 防护）。
+4. **响应信封。** 多数端点返回 `{ "success": true, "data": … }`（错误：`{ "success": false, "error", "errorCode" }`）。少数遗留 GET 返回裸响应体 —— **两种都要处理**（`body.data ?? body`）。
+5. **`/api/v1/*`** 是 `/api/*` 的稳定别名。
+
+### 常用配方
+
+```bash
+API="${CODEMAN_API_URL:-http://127.0.0.1:3000}"
+# （若设置了密码，给每个调用加上  -u admin:"$CODEMAN_PASSWORD"）
+
+# 1. 看看有什么在运行
+curl -s "$API/api/sessions" | jq '.data // .'
+
+# 2. 拉起一个工作会话（「case」= 命名工作目录）
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/quick-start" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"caseName":"refactor-auth","mode":"claude","effort":"high"}' | jq
+
+# 3. 向会话发送提示（精确一次：clientId + seq）
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/sessions/$SID/input" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"input":"Run the test suite and summarize failures","useMux":true,"clientId":"agent-1","seq":1}'
+
+# 4. 读回终端内容
+curl -s "$API/api/sessions/$SID/output" | jq -r '.data // .'
+
+# 5. 流式接收实时事件（会话输出、智能体活动、状态）
+curl -sN "$API/api/events"          # Server-Sent Events
+
+# 6. 调度周期性工作（cron 风格任务）
+curl -s -X POST "$API/api/cron/jobs" \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+  -d '{"name":"nightly-deps","agentType":"claude","workingDir":"/home/me/proj",
+       "promptMode":"inline_text","promptText":"Update dependencies and open a PR",
+       "inputMode":"typed","scheduleType":"daily","dailyTime":"03:00",
+       "enabled":true,"concurrencyPolicy":"warn_only"}' | jq
+
+# 7. 查看后台子智能体及其活动记录
+curl -s "$API/api/subagents" | jq '.data // .'
+curl -s "$API/api/subagents/$AID/transcript" | jq -r '.data // .'
+
+# 8. 全系统快照（会话、设置、重生、统计）
+curl -s "$API/api/status" | jq
+```
+
+### 或使用内置 CLI
+
+同样的操作也有命令形式（`codeman <cmd>`，括号内为别名）—— 在会话内的 shell 工具里很顺手：
+
+```bash
+codeman session start -d /path/to/repo   # (s)  启动会话
+codeman session list                     #      列出会话
+codeman session logs <id>                #      查看输出
+codeman task add "fix the failing test"  # (t)  排入任务
+codeman ralph start --min-hours 8        # (r)  启动自主循环
+codeman attach <path>                    #      附着 Claude hook 上下文
+```
+
+### Hook（事件*回流*到 Codeman）
+
+Codeman 会注册 Claude Code hook，它们 `POST /api/hook-event`（`permission_prompt`、`idle_prompt`、`stop`、`task_completed` 等），让仪表盘实时响应。该端点在环回上免认证，但在受管隧道下需要 `X-Codeman-Hook-Secret` 头（从 `$CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE` 读取）。通常你不需要手动调用它 —— Codeman 会自动接好 —— 但自主层正是靠它「看见」智能体在做什么。

+Read this when the goal is **throughput**: get correct, verified work done with
+minimum ceremony. This does **not** relax correctness or the safety rules in

+
+## The mindset
+
+- **Act, don't announce.** No "I'm going to now…" preamble. Do the thing, report
+  the result.
+- **Cheapest proof that the change works.** Pick the smallest check that actually
+  demonstrates correctness — not the biggest.
+- **Batch aggressively.** Independent reads, greps, and edits go in **one**
+  message with parallel tool calls. Never serialize work that has no dependency.
+- **Momentum over perfection.** Land a correct increment, verify it, move on.
+  Don't gold-plate untouched code.
+
+---
+
+## Loop (repeat until done)
+
+1. **Orient once** — one parallel burst of reads/greps to load the context you
+   need. Don't re-read files the harness says are already current.
+2. **Change** — make the edit(s). Batch independent edits.
+3. **Verify cheaply** — the smallest check that proves _this_ change (see below).
+4. **Advance** — next item. Only re-verify what you touched.
+5. **Stop** at: list empty, a hard blocker, or a decision that's genuinely the
+   user's to make.
+
+---
+
+## Verification ladder — climb only as high as the change needs
+
+| Change kind | Cheapest sufficient check |
+|-------------|---------------------------|
+| Types / signatures / imports | `tsc --noEmit` (or `--watch` already running) |
+| One module's logic | `npm test -- test/<file>.test.ts` (the **one** relevant file) |
+| A named behavior | `npm test -- -t "pattern"` |
+| Route/handler | `app.inject()` route test, or one `curl` against the running dev server |
+| Frontend render | Playwright load + assert (`waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded'`, wait 3–4s) |
+| Broad / pre-merge | `npm run test:ci` (the CI-equivalent sweep) |
+
+**Hard rules (never skip, even in a rush):**
+- ⚠️ **Never run bare `npm test`** — it pulls in browser/visual suites that hang
+  or fail locally. Always pass a file or `-t`, or use `test:ci`.
+- ⚠️ **Never COM without verifying the change actually works** first (curl the
+  endpoint / Playwright the UI). "Compiles" ≠ "works".
+- ⚠️ **Session safety** — check `$CODEMAN_MUX`; never `tmux kill-session` /
+  `pkill claude` in a managed session.
+- ⚠️ **Single-line prompts** for any programmatic session input.
+
+---
+
+## Speed tactics that pay off here
+
+- **Parallel exploration**: dispatch `Explore` subagents (or one parallel grep
+  burst) instead of serial file-by-file reading when scope is uncertain.
+- **`tsc --noEmit --watch`** in the background — instant type feedback, no repeat
+  cold starts.
+- **Target one test file** — `fileParallelism: false` means the suite is serial;
+  running one file is dramatically faster than the sweep.
+- **`curl localhost:3000/api/...`** beats spinning up a browser for backend
+  checks. Reserve Playwright for actual UI rendering.
+- **Trust the harness** — if it says a file you just edited is current, don't
+  re-Read it to "confirm". The Edit already succeeded or it would have errored.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-patterns (these masquerade as speed, but cost time)
+
+- Running the full test suite to check a one-file change.
+- Re-reading files you already have in context.
+- Narrating a plan you're about to execute anyway.
+- Serial tool calls that have no dependency between them.
+- Claiming "done / fixed / passing" **before** running the check that proves it.
+- Deploying (COM) on green typecheck alone, without exercising the real flow.
+
+---
+
+## Stop-conditions (don't rush past these)
+
+Stop and surface, don't guess, when you hit:
+- A **destructive / hard-to-reverse** action (delete, overwrite, force-push).
+- An **outward-facing** action (publishing, sending, deploying) not already
+  authorized.
+- A **genuine product decision** the code can't answer.
+- A **failing verification you can't explain** — debug it (see
+  `superpowers:systematic-debugging`), don't paper over it.
+
+---
+
+## Definition of done
+
+A task is done when **all** hold:
+- The change is made.
+- The cheapest sufficient check **ran** and **passed** — evidence, not assertion.
+- No new type errors / lint errors introduced (`tsc --noEmit`, `npm run lint`).
+- You state plainly what was done and what proved it. If a step was skipped or a
+  test failed, say so — don't hedge, don't overclaim.

+# Claude Code Build Brief: Add Scheduling to Codeman
+
+## 0. Purpose of This Brief
+
+You are Claude Code working inside the Codeman repository.
+
+Your task is to add a **small, reliable scheduling layer** to Codeman while preserving Codeman's existing architecture and session-management behavior.
+
+This is not a greenfield rewrite. This is not a full product rebuild. This is a focused extension.
+
+The target user wants Codeman-like tmux/web/session management, but with first-class scheduled jobs for Claude, Codex, OpenCode, Terminal, or any other configurable coding-agent harness.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Non-Negotiable Goal
+
+Add scheduling to Codeman so a user can define a scheduled coding-agent job that:
+
+1. Has a name.
+2. Uses an existing Codeman-supported agent/session type where possible.
+3. Has a working directory.
+4. Has a prompt or prompt file.
+5. Has a schedule.
+6. Can be enabled or disabled.
+7. Can be manually run now.
+8. When due, creates a Codeman/tmux session.
+9. Sends the configured prompt into that session.
+10. Records last run, next run, status, and run history.
+
+The first working version should prioritize **scheduling correctness and reuse of Codeman's existing tmux/session system** over UI polish.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Core Architectural Rule
+
+Do **not** rebuild Codeman's session layer.
+
+Reuse existing Codeman functionality for:
+
+- Creating sessions.
+- Naming sessions.
+- Launching Claude/Codex/OpenCode/Terminal sessions.
+- Sending input into sessions.
+- Displaying sessions in the web UI.
+- Killing sessions.
+- Tracking session status if already supported.
+
+If an internal API/service/function already exists, reuse it.
+
+If no reusable function exists, create a thin wrapper around the existing implementation rather than duplicating logic.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Product Boundary
+
+This build is **Codeman + Scheduler**.
+
+It is not yet:
+
+- A full quota engine.
+- A full lock manager.
+- A replacement for Codeman's terminal UI.
+- A new FastAPI application.
+- A multi-tenant SaaS platform.
+- A complex cron-management product.
+- A full agent autonomy framework.
+
+Keep the build small and shippable.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Required Working Scope for v0.1
+
+Implement the following minimum features.
+
+### 4.1 Scheduled Jobs List
+
+Create a UI page showing all scheduled jobs.
+
+Each row/card should show:
+
+- Job name.
+- Agent/session type.
+- Working directory.
+- Schedule type.
+- Enabled/disabled state.
+- Last run time.
+- Next run time.
+- Last run status.
+- Actions:
+  - Run Now.
+  - Enable/Disable.
+  - Edit.
+  - Delete.
+
+### 4.2 Create/Edit Scheduled Job
+
+Create a form for scheduled jobs with these fields:
+
+- `name`
+- `agent_type`
+  - Reuse Codeman's existing session/agent types where possible.
+  - Include at least Terminal/custom command if supported.
+- `working_directory`
+- `launch_command` if needed by Codeman's model.
+- `prompt_mode`
+  - `inline_text`
+  - `prompt_file_path`
+- `prompt_text`
+- `prompt_file_path`
+- `input_mode`
+  - `paste`
+  - `typed`
+- `schedule_type`
+  - `once`
+  - `interval_minutes`
+  - `daily_time`
+  - `weekly_time`
+- `run_at` for one-time jobs.
+- `interval_minutes` for interval jobs.
+- `daily_time` for daily jobs.
+- `weekly_days` and `weekly_time` for weekly jobs.
+- `enabled`
+- `notes` optional.
+
+Do not build a complex visual cron editor in v0.1.
+
+### 4.3 Run Now
+
+Every scheduled job must support a `Run Now` action.
+
+Run Now should:
+
+1. Create a new session through Codeman's existing session creation logic.
+2. Send the configured prompt into the session using Codeman's existing input mechanism.
+3. Create a run-history record.
+4. Update last-run fields.
+5. Redirect or link the user to the created Codeman session.
+
+### 4.4 Background Scheduler Loop
+
+Add a small background scheduler loop that runs inside the Codeman backend process.
+
+The loop should:
+
+1. Wake every 15-60 seconds.
+2. Load enabled schedules.
+3. Find schedules where `next_run_at <= now`.
+4. Create a scheduled run.
+5. Launch the session using existing Codeman session logic.
+6. Send the prompt.
+7. Record run history.
+8. Compute the next run time.
+9. Avoid duplicate launches if the loop overlaps or restarts.
+
+Keep this simple and robust.
+
+### 4.5 Run History
+
+Every scheduled execution should create a run-history record.
+
+Track:
+
+- `id`
+- `scheduled_job_id`
+- `session_id` or Codeman session reference.
+- `session_name` if applicable.
+- `started_at`
+- `finished_at` optional.
+- `status`
+  - `created`
+  - `session_started`
+  - `prompt_sent`
+  - `failed`
+- `error_message` optional.
+- `trigger_type`
+  - `scheduled`
+  - `manual_run_now`
+- `created_session_url` or route reference if easy.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Scheduling Rules
+
+### 5.1 Once
+
+Run at a specific date/time.
+
+After successful launch:
+
+- Set `enabled = false`, or mark as completed.
+
+### 5.2 Interval
+
+Run every N minutes.
+
+Example:
+
+- Every 60 minutes.
+- Every 240 minutes.
+
+After launch:
+
+- `next_run_at = now + interval_minutes`.
+
+### 5.3 Daily
+
+Run every day at HH:MM.
+
+After launch:
+
+- Compute the next occurrence of HH:MM after now.
+
+### 5.4 Weekly
+
+Run on selected weekdays at HH:MM.
+
+After launch:
+
+- Compute the next selected weekday/time after now.
+
+### 5.5 Timezone
+
+Use the server's local timezone for v0.1 unless Codeman already has timezone handling.
+
+Add a visible note in the UI:
+
+> Times use the server's local timezone.
+
+Do not overbuild timezone support in v0.1.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Data Storage Decision
+
+First inspect Codeman's existing persistence model.
+
+If Codeman already has a database or persistence layer:
+
+- Reuse it.
+- Add scheduled job and scheduled run models/tables/records using the existing pattern.
+
+If Codeman uses files or JSON state:
+
+- Use the same style for v0.1.
+- Prefer simple persistence over introducing a heavy new dependency.
+
+If there is no appropriate persistence layer:
+
+- Add SQLite only if it fits the codebase cleanly.
+- Otherwise use a JSON file store for the first version.
+
+Do not introduce Postgres, Redis, Celery, or a separate scheduler service.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Concurrency and Duplicate-Run Guard
+
+Implement a basic duplicate-run guard.
+
+A schedule should not launch twice for the same due time.
+
+Minimum acceptable approach:
+
+- Before launching, create/update a run record with a `created` or `launching` state.
+- Use a schedule-level `last_triggered_at` or `last_due_key` to avoid double launching.
+- If launch fails, record failure clearly.
+
+Do not build distributed locks. Codeman is expected to be local/single-instance for v0.1.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Multi-Session Warning
+
+When the user clicks `Run Now`, show a warning if there are already active sessions for the same agent type.
+
+Minimum behavior:
+
+- If active sessions exist, show a confirmation warning.
+- User can continue anyway.
+
+For scheduled automatic runs:
+
+- Add a setting on the scheduled job:
+  - `warn_only`
+  - `skip_if_same_agent_running`
+
+Default:
+
+- `warn_only` for manual runs.
+- `skip_if_same_agent_running = false` for automatic runs unless easy to implement.
+
+Do not build a complete quota engine in v0.1.
+
+---
+
+## 9. Prompt Sending Rules
+
+The scheduler must support sending the configured prompt into the created session.
+
+Prompt source:
+
+1. Inline prompt text.
+2. Prompt file path.
+
+Input mode:
+
+1. Paste mode.
+2. Typed mode.
+
+If only one input mode is easy with Codeman's current internals, implement that first and structure the code so the other can be added later.
+
+Important:
+
+- Do not send prompts to a session if session creation failed.
+- Record prompt-send success/failure in run history.
+- Save enough metadata to understand what prompt was used.
+
+---
+
+## 10. UI Bifurcation
+
+Keep UI changes cleanly separated.
+
+Add scheduler UI under a clear navigation item:
+
+- `Scheduled Jobs`
+
+Do not clutter the existing session dashboard.
+
+The existing session dashboard may show sessions created by scheduled jobs, but the scheduling controls should live in their own section.
+
+Recommended pages/routes:
+
+- `/schedules`
+- `/schedules/new`
+- `/schedules/:id`
+- `/schedules/:id/edit`
+- `/schedules/:id/run-now`
+- `/schedules/:id/enable`
+- `/schedules/:id/disable`
+- `/schedules/:id/delete`
+
+Use Codeman's existing frontend conventions and routing style.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Backend Bifurcation
+
+Keep scheduler code separate from existing session code.
+
+Recommended logical modules, adapted to Codeman's actual structure:
+
+- `scheduler/model` or equivalent.
+- `scheduler/store` or equivalent.
+- `scheduler/service` for schedule calculations and launch logic.
+- `scheduler/loop` for the background due-job checker.
+- `scheduler/routes` for API/UI endpoints.
+- `scheduler/time` for next-run calculations.
+
+Do not mix scheduling logic directly into terminal rendering, xterm handling, or low-level tmux code.
+
+The scheduler service should call session services; it should not own tmux directly unless Codeman has no session abstraction.
+
+---
+
+## 12. Required Discovery Phase Before Coding
+
+Before implementing, inspect the Codeman repo and produce a short architecture note in the terminal or in a file called:
+
+`docs/cron-discovery.md`
+
+This note must identify:
+
+1. Where session creation happens.
+2. Where agent/session types are defined.
+3. Where input is sent into a session.
+4. Where active sessions are listed.
+5. Where session kill/delete is handled.
+6. How session state is stored.
+7. Whether there is existing persistence.
+8. Where backend routes live.
+9. Where frontend pages/components live.
+10. The smallest integration points for scheduling.
+
+Do not start coding until this discovery is complete.
+
+---
+
+## 13. Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Discovery

+Deliverable:
+
+- `docs/cron-discovery.md`
+
+Must answer the 10 discovery questions above.
+
+### Phase 2: Data Model / Persistence
+
+Deliverable:
+
+- Scheduled job persistence.
+- Scheduled run history persistence.
+- Basic create/read/update/delete operations.
+
+### Phase 3: Scheduler Calculation Logic
+
+Deliverable:
+
+- Functions to compute `next_run_at` for:
+  - once
+  - interval
+  - daily
+  - weekly
+
+Add tests if the repo has an existing test setup.
+
+### Phase 4: Manual Run Now
+
+Deliverable:
+
+- Create scheduled job.
+- Click Run Now.
+- Codeman session is created.
+- Prompt is sent.
+- Run history is recorded.
+- UI links to the session.
+
+This is the most important milestone.
+
+### Phase 5: Background Scheduler Loop
+
+Deliverable:
+
+- Enabled schedules launch automatically when due.
+- Run history is recorded.
+- `last_run_at` and `next_run_at` update.
+- Duplicate launch guard exists.
+
+### Phase 6: UI Polish Only After Functionality
+
+Deliverable:
+
+- Scheduled jobs list is readable.
+- Create/edit form is usable.
+- Status labels are clear.
+- Errors are visible.
+
+Do not polish before Phase 4 works.
+
+---
+
+## 14. Acceptance Criteria
+
+The build is acceptable when all these pass.
+
+### Manual Run
+
+1. Create a schedule/job with inline prompt.
+2. Click Run Now.
+3. A new Codeman/tmux session starts.
+4. Prompt is sent into that session.
+5. The created session is visible in Codeman's normal session UI.
+6. Run history shows success or failure.
+
+### One-Time Schedule
+
+1. Create a one-time schedule 2 minutes in the future.
+2. Wait for it to become due.
+3. Scheduler launches a session.
+4. Prompt is sent.
+5. Schedule does not repeatedly launch forever.
+
+### Interval Schedule
+
+1. Create interval schedule every 2 minutes.
+2. It launches once when due.
+3. It computes the next due time.
+4. It does not launch duplicates for the same due time.
+
+### Daily Schedule
+
+1. Create daily schedule at a time a few minutes ahead.
+2. It launches when due.
+3. Next run becomes tomorrow at the same time.
+
+### Disable Schedule
+
+1. Disable a schedule.
+2. It does not launch even when due.
+
+### Error Handling
+
+1. Invalid working directory produces visible error.
+2. Invalid prompt file produces visible error.
+3. Failed session launch creates failed run-history entry.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Explicitly Out of Scope for v0.1
+
+Do not implement these unless all required scope is already working:
+
+- Full quota engine.
+- Advanced lock manager.
+- Post-run git inspection reports.
+- Complex recurring calendar UI.
+- User accounts / RBAC.
+- External distributed workers.
+- Redis.
+- Postgres.
+- Celery.
+- Kubernetes.
+- A separate Python service.
+- Full visual cron editor.
+- AI-generated follow-up prompts.
+- Automatic continuation after idle.
+- Any attempt to bypass agent quotas or platform limits.
+
+---
+
+## 16. Quality Rules
+
+Follow these rules while coding:
+
+1. Reuse existing Codeman services and conventions.
+2. Keep scheduler code isolated.
+3. Prefer boring, readable code over clever abstractions.
+4. Add error messages that a human can understand.
+5. Do not break existing Codeman sessions.
+6. Do not rename existing core concepts unnecessarily.
+7. Do not introduce large dependencies without strong reason.
+8. Keep v0.1 local-first and single-instance.
+9. Commit in logical chunks if git is available.
+10. After coding, provide a final implementation summary.
+
+---
+
+## 17. Final Response Required from Claude Code
+
+At the end, report:
+
+1. Files changed.
+2. New routes/pages added.
+3. New data structures added.
+4. How the scheduler loop works.
+5. How to run the app.
+6. How to test manual Run Now.
+7. How to test scheduled execution.
+8. Known limitations.
+9. Suggested v0.2 improvements.
+
+---
+
+## 18. v0.2 Ideas, Not for Current Build
+
+Keep these in mind but do not build unless v0.1 is complete:
+
+- Quota-aware scheduling.
+- Manual takeover locks.
+- Post-idle inspection.
+- Git diff reports.
+- Schedule groups.
+- Prompt templates.
+- Agent-specific concurrency rules.
+- Better timezone support.
+- Audit events.
+- More advanced cron expressions.
+
+---
+
+## 19. Final Reminder
+
+The goal is to add **scheduling** to Codeman quickly and cleanly.
+
+Do not drift into building a new platform.
+
+The highest-priority path is:
+
+1. Discover existing Codeman integration points.
+2. Add scheduled job persistence.
+3. Add Run Now.
+4. Add background due-job loop.
+5. Add minimal UI.
+6. Verify that scheduled jobs create real Codeman/tmux sessions and send prompts.

+# CRON_DISCOVERY.md
+
+Phase 1 deliverable for the "Add Scheduling to Codeman" build brief.
+This documents the existing Codeman architecture and the smallest integration
+points for a cron. **No session/tmux logic will be rebuilt** —
+the new code is purely a trigger + persistence + history layer on top of the
+existing primitives.
+
+Stack: `aicodeman` v1.2.1 — Fastify 5 backend, `node-pty` + tmux sessions,
+vanilla-JS SPA frontend served as static assets, JSON file state store, zod
+validation, ports-based dependency injection.
+
+---
+
+## 0. Critical finding: an existing `ScheduledRun` is NOT a cron
+
+Codeman already has a `ScheduledRun` concept (`/api/scheduled`,
+`src/web/ports/infra-port.ts:14-26`, `src/web/server.ts:1480-1605`). It is a
+**run-now, duration-bounded autonomous loop**: given `{prompt, workingDir,
+durationMinutes}` it immediately spawns/kills throwaway sessions in a loop until
+the duration elapses. It has **no** time-based triggering, recurrence
+(once/interval/daily/weekly), enable/disable, next-run calculation, run history,
+or persistence across restarts.
+
+Therefore the brief's core (the calendar/cron trigger layer) does **not** exist
+and must be built. The execution primitives it sits on top of **do** exist and
+will be reused. To honor brief §16 ("do not rename existing core concepts"), the
+new feature is named **`CronJob`** (with **`CronJobRun`** history
+records), kept distinct from the existing `ScheduledRun`.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Where session creation happens
+
+- Canonical create flow: `POST /api/sessions`,
+  `src/web/routes/session-routes.ts:262-438`.
+  - `new Session({ workingDir, mode, ... })` (`src/session.ts:421-570`)
+  - `ctx.addSession(session)` → `ctx.setupSessionListeners(session)` →
+    `ctx.persistSessionState(session)` (all via `SessionPort`).
+- `SessionPort` interface: `src/web/ports/session-port.ts:8-16`.
+- **Integration point:** the cron service will mirror this exact sequence
+  (create → addSession → setupSessionListeners → start) via `SessionPort`,
+  not reimplement it.
+
+## 2. Where agent/session types are defined
+
+- `type SessionMode = 'claude' | 'shell' | 'opencode' | 'codex' | 'gemini'`
+  (`src/types/session.ts:43-44`). `shell` covers the brief's "Terminal/custom".
+- CLI availability resolvers in `src/utils/{claude,codex,gemini,opencode}-cli-resolver.ts`.
+- **Integration point:** the job's `agentType` reuses `SessionMode` verbatim.
+
+## 3. Where input is sent into a session
+
+- Raw / paste: `session.write(data)` (`src/session.ts:2243-2247`) — direct PTY write.
+- Typed (recommended): `session.writeViaMux(data)` (`src/session.ts:2301-2311`)
+  — tmux `send-keys`, falls back to PTY. Submit requires trailing `\r`.
+- **Integration point:** prompt delivery uses `writeViaMux` (typed) by default,
+  `write` (paste) as the alternate `input_mode`.
+
+## 4. Where active sessions are listed
+
+- `ctx.sessions: ReadonlyMap<string, Session>` (`SessionPort`).
+- Filters: `Array.from(ctx.sessions.values()).filter(s => s.mode === X)` and
+  `.isBusy()` / `.isIdle()` (`src/session-manager.ts:220-247`).
+- **Integration point:** the §8 multi-session warning queries this map.
+
+## 5. Where session kill/delete is handled
+
+- `ctx.cleanupSession(sessionId, killMux?, reason?)`
+  (`SessionPort`; impl `src/web/server.ts:997-1152`). Underlying
+  `session.stop(killMux)` at `src/session.ts:2498-2585`.
+- The cron does **not** kill sessions it launches (the brief wants them
+  visible in the normal session UI); cleanup stays user-driven.
+  _Superseded post-review:_ recurring jobs now default to
+  `autoClosePreviousSession: true` — the previous run's still-open session is
+  closed via `cleanupSession` when the next run fires (see
+  `docs/cron-guide.md` §8); opt out per job for fully user-driven cleanup.
+
+## 6. How session state is stored / 7. Existing persistence
+
+- JSON file store: `~/.codeman/state.json` (+ `state-inner.json` for Ralph).
+  `StateStore` class `src/state-store.ts:71`; `AppState` interface
+  `src/types/app-state.ts:99-114`.
+- Pattern: declare a field on `AppState`, add typed get/set methods on
+  `StateStore` that mutate in-memory state and call the debounced `save()`
+  (500ms debounce, atomic temp-file+rename, `.bak` backup, circuit breaker).
+- **Integration point:** add `cronJobs?: Record<string, CronJob>` and
+  `cronJobRuns?: Record<string, CronJobRun>` to `AppState`, with
+  matching `StateStore` accessors. No new DB (brief §6 forbids Postgres/Redis).
+
+## 8. Where backend routes live
+
+- Route modules: `src/web/routes/*.ts`; barrel `src/web/routes/index.ts`;
+  registered in `WebServer.setupRoutes()` `src/web/server.ts:858-876` with a
+  single `ctx` object from `createRouteContext()` (`src/web/server.ts:553-613`)
+  that satisfies all port interfaces.
+- Validation: zod schemas in `src/web/schemas.ts`, applied via
+  `parseBody(Schema, req.body)` (`src/web/route-helpers.ts:101-111`).
+- Errors: `createErrorResponse(ApiErrorCode.X, msg)` / `ApiResponse`
+  (`src/types/api.ts`), auto-mapped to HTTP status by a `preSerialization` hook
+  (`src/web/server.ts:644-659`).
+- SSE: `ctx.broadcast(SseEvent.X, data)` (`EventPort`,
+  `src/web/sse-events.ts`); frontend mirror in `src/web/public/constants.js`.
+- **Integration point:** new `cron-routes.ts` registered alongside the
+  others; new zod schema; new `SseEvent` constants for job list/run changes.
+
+## 9. Where frontend pages/components live
+
+- Vanilla-JS SPA: single `src/web/public/index.html` + feature mixin files
+  (`Object.assign(CodemanApp.prototype, {...})`). API via `api-client.js`
+  (`_apiJson/_apiPost/_apiDelete`). Build = esbuild minify + content-hash, no
+  bundler (`scripts/build.mjs`).
+- UI is panels/modals toggled by JS classes; forms use `.form-row` / `.modal`
+  conventions (`styles.css`). SSE handler map in `app.js`.
+- **Integration point:** add a new `cron-ui.js` mixin + a panel/modal in
+  `index.html` + nav entry, following the orchestrator/respawn panel pattern.
+
+## 10. Background-loop pattern (for the due-checker)
+
+- Established pattern: `this.cleanup.setInterval(fn, intervalMs, {description})`
+  in `WebServer.start()` (`src/web/server.ts:~1942-1966`), auto-disposed in
+  `WebServer.stop()` via `this.cleanup.dispose()` (`src/web/server.ts:2336`).
+  RalphLoop (`src/ralph-loop.ts:268-286`) shows the self-rescheduling guard idiom.
+- **Integration point:** register a 30s cron tick via `cleanup.setInterval`;
+  no manual shutdown wiring needed.
+
+---
+
+## Smallest integration points (summary)
+
+| New piece | Reuses | Location |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `CronJob` / `CronJobRun` types | — (new) | `src/types/cron.ts` |
+| Persistence | `StateStore` / `AppState` | `src/types/app-state.ts`, `src/state-store.ts` |
+| Next-run time math | — (new, pure, unit-tested) | `src/cron/cron-time.ts` |
+| Launch + send prompt | `SessionPort` (`addSession`/listeners/`writeViaMux`) | `src/cron/cron-service.ts` |
+| Background due loop | `cleanup.setInterval` pattern | `src/cron/cron-loop.ts` |
+| Routes + schema | route/ports/zod/SSE patterns | `src/web/routes/cron-routes.ts`, `src/web/schemas.ts`, `src/web/sse-events.ts` |
+| UI | panel/modal/mixin conventions | `src/web/public/cron-ui.js`, `index.html` |
+
+Nothing in the session, tmux, persistence, routing, or SSE subsystems is
+rewritten — the cron is additive and calls existing services.

+# Cron Jobs — User & Operator Guide
+
+Codeman's **Cron** feature lets you save named, recurring jobs that automatically
+spin up a Claude (or shell / OpenCode / Codex / Gemini) session on a schedule and
+feed it a prompt. Think "cron for agent sessions": _"every weekday at 3am, open a
+Claude session in `~/proj` and tell it to update dependencies and open a PR."_
+
+- **UI**: the **⏰ Cron** button in the header → the Cron Jobs modal (`#cronModal`).
+- **API**: `/api/cron/jobs*` and `/api/cron/runs`.
+- **Code**: `src/cron/cron-service.ts`, `src/cron/cron-time.ts`, `src/cron/cron-input.ts`,
+  types in `src/types/cron.ts`, routes in `src/web/routes/cron-routes.ts`,
+  frontend in `src/web/public/cron-ui.js`.
+
+> **Not to be confused with `ScheduledRun` (`/api/scheduled`).** That older,
+> deliberately-separate concept is a _run-now, duration-bounded autonomous loop_
+> (`{prompt, workingDir, durationMinutes}` → spawn/kill throwaway sessions until
+> the duration elapses). It has no recurrence, no saved jobs, and no next-run
+> calculation. The two systems never interact. This guide is only about **Cron
+> jobs** (`Cron*`). See `docs/cron-discovery.md` §0.
+

+
+## 1. Quick start
+
+### In the browser
+
+1. Click **⏰ Cron** in the header.
+2. Click **+ New Job**.
+3. Fill in a **name**, pick an **agent type** and **working directory**, choose a
+   **prompt** (inline text or a file path), pick a **schedule**, and leave
+   **Enabled** on.
+4. **Save**. The job appears in the list with its computed **next run**.
+5. Use **Run Now** to fire it immediately without waiting for the schedule.
+
+### With curl

+## 2. Concepts
+
+| Term                       | Meaning                                                                                          |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| **Cron job** (`CronJob`)   | A saved, named definition: what agent to launch, where, with what prompt, on what schedule.      |
+| **Run** (`CronJobRun`)     | One execution of a job — a history record with a status and a link to the session it created.    |
+| **Schedule type**          | How fire times are computed: `once`, `interval`, `daily`, or `weekly`.                           |
+| **Next run** (`nextRunAt`) | Server-computed epoch-ms of the next fire. `null` when the job is disabled or has no future run. |
+| **Due tick**               | A background loop (every 30s) that launches any enabled job whose `nextRunAt` has passed.        |
+
+A job is essentially a **trigger + persistence + history layer on top of the
+existing session primitives**. When a job fires, the cron service does exactly
+what the "quick start" route does — `new Session(...)` → `addSession` →
+`setupSessionListeners` → `startInteractive()`/`startShell()` → deliver the
+prompt. It does **not** reimplement any tmux/PTY logic.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The job form — every field
+
+These map 1:1 to `CronJobSchema` (`src/web/schemas.ts`) and the `CronJob` type
+(`src/types/cron.ts`).
+
+| Field                      | Required    | Values / limits                                          | Notes                                                                                                                                                                                      |

+
+**Cross-field validation** (`refineCronJob` in `schemas.ts`): the conditional
+fields above are enforced by a Zod `superRefine` on create. A missing dependent
+field (e.g. `scheduleType: "once"` with no `runAt`) is rejected with
+`INVALID_INPUT` and a field-specific message.
+
+> ⚠️ **Update caveat.** `PUT /api/cron/jobs/:id` uses a `.partial()` schema that
+> does **not** re-run the cross-field `superRefine`. To keep partial edits safe,
+> `updateJob()` re-validates the **merged** job against the full `CronJobSchema`
+> and throws `400` if the result is inconsistent (e.g. switching to `once`
+> without a `runAt`). So the store is never left with a half-valid job.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Schedule types
+
+Next-run math lives in `src/cron/cron-time.ts` (pure, unit-tested in
+`test/cron-time.test.ts`). **All wall-clock times use the server's local
+timezone** (v0.1 decision).
+
+### `once`
+
+- Fires a single time at the absolute `runAt` epoch-ms.
+- A **missed** one-time job (server was down at `runAt`) **still fires once** on
+  the next tick — `computeNextRunAt` returns `runAt` even if it's in the past,
+  until the job has fired.
+- After firing, the job **self-disables**: `completedOnce = true`, `enabled =
+false`, `nextRunAt = null`.
+
+### `interval`
+
+- Fires every `intervalMinutes`, computed as `fireTime + intervalMinutes`.
+- ⚠️ **Drift**: the next run re-anchors to the actual fire time, not to an ideal
+  cadence — a slow tick or restart shifts subsequent runs slightly later. This is
+  an accepted limitation.
+
+### `daily`
+
+- Fires at `dailyTime` (`HH:MM`) every day, server-local.
+- If today's time has already passed, the next run is tomorrow at that time.
+
+### `weekly`
+
+- Fires at `weeklyTime` on each weekday in `weeklyDays` (0 = Sunday … 6 =
+  Saturday), server-local.
+- The next run is the soonest upcoming matching weekday/time within the next 7
+  days.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Prompt source (`promptMode`)
+
+### `inline_text`
+
+The prompt is the literal `promptText`. Simplest option.
+
+### `prompt_file_path`
+
+The prompt is read from a file at fire time. **This path is security-hardened**
+because a job config is attacker-controllable and the file's contents are
+injected into an agent session (an exfiltration sink over SSE/terminal).
+`resolveSafePromptPath()` enforces, in order:
+
+1. **`realpath` resolution** — symlinks are resolved to their true target, for
+   the prompt file **and for `workingDir` itself**.
+2. **`workingDir` is not a trust boundary** — because it is user-supplied, the
+   resolved `workingDir` is itself rejected if it is `/` or resolves into a
+   blocked tree (`/etc`, `/root`, operator extras) or a pseudo-filesystem
+   (`/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`). This closes the `workingDir: '/proc'` +
+   `promptFilePath: '/proc/self/environ'` env-exfil trick. The same rule is
+   enforced earlier, at job create/update.
+3. **Blocklist** (defense-in-depth) — sensitive trees (`/etc`, `/root`,
+   `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev`, known secret locations) are rejected for the
+   resolved prompt file.
+4. **Allowlist (primary gate)** — the resolved path **must live inside the job's
+   (resolved) `workingDir`** (`validateSessionFilePath`). A symlink escaping the
+   workspace fails here.
+5. **Regular-file check** — directories, FIFOs, and `/dev/*` character devices
+   are rejected (they would hang or OOM an unbounded read).
+6. **Size cap** — files larger than **1 MiB** (`MAX_PROMPT_FILE_BYTES`) are
+   rejected.
+7. **Single-line check** — after trailing newlines are stripped, the file
+   content must be a single line (see §6).
+
+If any check fails, the run is recorded as **`failed`** with the reason; no
+session is created.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Prompt delivery (`inputMode`)
+
+Once the CLI is ready (see §8), the prompt is written to the session with a
+trailing carriage return:
+
+| Mode    | Mechanism                                                       | Use when                                         |
+| ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `typed` | `session.writeViaMux()` — tmux `send-keys -l` (literal) + Enter | Default; behaves like a human typing the prompt. |
+| `paste` | `session.write()` — writes directly to the PTY/mux              | Bulk paste-style delivery.                       |
+
+> ⚠️ **Single-line only — enforced.** Like all programmatic input in Codeman,
+> multi-line delivery would be silently corrupted (Ink-based TUIs treat a
+> newline as submit; typed mode fuses lines). So newlines are **rejected**: the
+> schema and the form refuse a multi-line `promptText`, and at fire time a
+> prompt file whose content is multi-line (after stripping trailing newlines)
+> fails the run with a clear `errorMessage`. Put multi-line instructions in a
+> file the agent is told to read itself (e.g. "read TASKS.md and do it").
+
+---
+
+## 7. Concurrency policy (automatic runs)
+
+`concurrencyPolicy` governs what happens when a **scheduled** run is due and
+sessions of the same `agentType` already exist:
+
+| Policy                       | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `warn_only`                  | Always launch. (The count is surfaced but not blocking.)                                                                                                                 |
+| `skip_if_same_agent_running` | If ≥ 1 **other, live** session of that mode is active, **skip** this fire — record a `skipped` run and (for recurring schedules) advance the schedule without launching. |
+
+Notes on `skip_if_same_agent_running`:
+
+- Only **live** sessions block: a tab whose CLI already exited (status
+  `stopped`/`error`) does not count.
+- Sessions created by **this job's own previous runs never block it** —
+  otherwise a recurring job would deadlock on the session it created last time
+  and fire exactly once.
+- A skipped **`once`** job is **not consumed**: it stays armed and retries on
+  the next tick until the blocking session goes away, then fires its single run.
+- A skip is **not** a run: it sets `lastStatus = 'skipped'` but does **not**
+  advance `lastRunAt`.
+- Consecutive skips are **coalesced** — a perpetually-skipped interval job writes
+  **one** skip record per streak, not one every tick, so it can't bloat
+  `state.json`.
+
+**Run Now ignores this policy on the server.** The browser shows a `confirm()`
+warning if same-type sessions are active, but if you proceed (or call the API
+directly), the job launches unconditionally.
+
+---
+
+## 8. What happens when a job fires
+
+Sequence in `CronService.launch()`:
+
+1. A `CronJobRun` is created with status **`created`** and broadcast
+   (`cron:runCreated`).
+2. The prompt is resolved (inline or file, single-line enforced). Failure →
+   **`failed`**.
+3. `workingDir` is checked (`statSync().isDirectory()`). Missing/not-a-dir →
+   **`failed`**.
+4. **Auto-close previous session** (recurring schedules, unless
+   `autoClosePreviousSession: false`): any still-open session created by this
+   job's previous runs is closed via the normal session-cleanup path.
+5. The global session cap is checked (`MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS = 50`). At cap →
+   **`failed`**.
+6. A `Session` is created **with `useMux: true`** (so it runs inside tmux),
+   registered, listeners attached, and started via `startInteractive()`
+   (`startShell()` for `shell` mode). Model/claudeMode come from global config.
+   Run status → **`session_started`**.
+7. **Readiness wait** (async, non-blocking): for non-shell agents the service
+   polls the terminal buffer up to **60 × 500ms** for a `❯` prompt or the string
+   `tokens`, then settles **2000ms** (`CRON_READY_SETTLE_MS`). Shell mode waits
+   1000ms, then sends the optional `launchCommand` as the first input line
+   (+1000ms settle).
+8. The prompt is delivered (`typed`/`paste`, trailing `\r`). Run status →
+   **`prompt_sent`**; `finishedAt` stamped. Delivery failure (e.g. the mux
+   session is gone) → **`failed`**.
+
+The created session is a **normal, persistent interactive session** — it appears
+as its own tab and keeps running after the prompt is sent. The run's
+`createdSessionUrl` is a deep link (`/?session=<id>`); the UI focuses it
+automatically after **Run Now**.
+
+> ⚠️ **Session-cap math if you disable auto-close.** With
+> `autoClosePreviousSession: false`, nothing ever closes the sessions a
+> recurring job creates — an interval job every 30 min creates 48 tabs/day and
+> hits the global 50-session cap in ~25 hours (sooner with existing tabs), after
+> which **every** fire of **every** job fails with "Maximum concurrent sessions
+> reached" until you delete tabs by hand. Leave auto-close on for unattended
+> recurring jobs, or clean up sessions yourself.
+
+### The background tick
+
+`tickDueJobs()` runs every **30s** (`CRON_TICK_INTERVAL`, registered in
+`server.ts`). For each enabled job whose `nextRunAt ≤ now`:
+
+- **Duplicate-launch guard**: `lastDueKey = jobId:fireTime`. If this due time was
+  already consumed (overlap/restart), the job is just advanced, not relaunched.
+- The schedule is **advanced _before_ launching** so a slow launch can't be
+  re-triggered by the next tick.
+- On boot, `init()` recomputes `nextRunAt` for loaded jobs (dead `once` jobs stay
+  dead).
+
+---
+
+## 9. Run history & statuses
+
+Each job keeps a history of `CronJobRun` records. Statuses (`CronJobRunStatus`):
+
+| Status            | Meaning                                                       |
+| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `created`         | Run record created; prompt/session not yet started.           |
+| `session_started` | Session launched successfully.                                |
+| `prompt_sent`     | Prompt delivered — the happy-path terminal state.             |
+| `failed`          | Something went wrong (see `errorMessage`).                    |
+| `skipped`         | A scheduled fire was skipped by `skip_if_same_agent_running`. |
+
+Each run also records `triggerType` (`scheduled` or `manual_run_now`),
+`sessionId`/`sessionName`, timestamps, and `createdSessionUrl`.
+
+**History is capped globally** at **500 records** (`MAX_CRON_RUN_HISTORY`); the
+oldest are pruned first. Deleting a job also deletes its run records.
+
+---
+
+## 10. API reference
+
+All responses use the standard `ApiResponse<T>` envelope (`{success, data}` /
+`{success, error, errorCode}`). `/api/v1/*` is a stable alias.

+## 12. State & persistence
+
+Persisted in `~/.codeman/state.json` via `StateStore`:
+
+- `AppState.cronJobs` — map of `id → CronJob`.
+- `AppState.cronJobRuns` — map of `id → CronJobRun`.
+
+Jobs and their schedules survive restarts; `init()` recomputes `nextRunAt` on
+boot. Sessions the jobs create persist through the normal session-recovery path.

+## 14. Known limitations
+
+- **Server-local timezone only** — `daily`/`weekly` times are interpreted in the
+  host's local time; there is no per-job timezone.
+- **Interval drift** — `interval` re-anchors to the actual fire time; long-running
+  intervals slowly shift.
+- **Single-line prompts** — multi-line prompts are rejected (schema, form, and
+  at fire time for prompt files); tell the agent to read a file itself for
+  multi-line instructions.
+- **`runNow` / tick race** — a manual Run Now firing at the same instant as a
+  scheduled tick is theoretically possible; benign (you may get two sessions).
+- **`{enabled:true}` on a dead `once` job** — re-enabling a fired one-time job
+  without changing its schedule leaves it enabled-but-dead (won't fire); change
+  the schedule to re-arm.

+# Docker Session Mode, Implementation Plan
+
+## Decisions (locked 2026-07-19, by repo owner)
+
+1. **Isolation posture**: CONVENIENT default (bind-mount host `~/.claude` etc. read-write so the existing login just works; network on; still hardened non-root + cap-drop + resource caps). SEALED profile (`mountCredentials:false` + `network:none`) is a per-case opt-in.
+2. **Export**: offer BOTH full-image (`commit`+`save`+workspace tar) AND workspace-only, side by side, no default (ask each time).
+3. **Base image**: BUILD LOCALLY on first use via `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs` from a repo `docker/agent.Dockerfile`. No registry required. (GHCR pull can be added later.)
+4. **Hooks**: WIRE HOOKS NOW. Codeman scaffolds `.claude/settings.local.json` + CLAUDE.md into the linked host workspace dir (same as local cases), enabling in-container permission prompts, hook-idle detection, and the Claude Model picker.
+
+Adopted defaults for the remaining open items (Section 10): resume-on-restart ON; container is per-CASE and shared by multiple sessions (killing one session only kills its in-container tmux session, never `docker stop` while siblings remain; stop/remove only on explicit teardown or case-delete); rootless caps = ship-with-warning (`capsEnforced` surfaced); remote docker daemon = local-first; podman = docker-first best-effort.
+
+## Implementation status (branch `feat/docker-session-mode`)
+
+DONE and END-TO-END VERIFIED against a real docker daemon (create host, link case, quick-start shell in a real container, workspace bind-mount round-trip, hook scaffolding, session-delete keeps the shared container up, case-delete `docker rm`s it):
+
+- Phase 0-1: types (`DockerHost`/`DockerCase`/`SessionDocker`), `src/docker-hosts.ts` (storage, pure `buildDockerBaseArgs`/`buildDockerCreateArgs`, `containerApiUrl`, `hostGatewayAlias`, config-hash, credential-mount resolution, daemon probes), `DockerHostSchema`/`DockerCaseLinkSchema`. 26 unit tests.
+- Phase 2: `tmux-manager` `buildDockerLaunchCommand` (image-check -> ensure -> start -> exec, resume-aware), `buildDockerKillCommand` (in-container tmux only, multi-session safe), stop/remove; wired into `createSession`/`respawnPane`/`killSession`. 14 unit tests.
+- Phase 3: `Session` threading (`_docker`, toState, option builders, in-container cliVersion probe, `resolveMuxAttachCwd`), `server.ts` recovery round-trip.
+- Phase 4: `case-routes` `/api/docker-hosts` CRUD + `/api/cases/docker-link` + listing + docker-unlink; `session-routes` `/api/quick-start` docker branch (rejects per-session config, probes availability + tmux, scaffolds hooks, seeds resume id).
+- Phase 5 (partial): `docker/agent.Dockerfile` + `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs` (built + verified: node 22, tmux, claude/codex/gemini/opencode, arbitrary-uid HOME). Host-guard allowlists `host.docker.internal`/`host.containers.internal` for in-container hooks.
+- Full CI green (3445 tests).
+
+REMAINING:
+
+- Phase 6: export / import (`docker commit` + `save | gzip` + workspace tar + manifest; `load` + quarantined re-tag), GC / boot reaper, disk-safety prechecks, drift-recreate route, SSE `docker:*` events. THE "move to a new machine" feature.
+- Phase 7: frontend Create Case "Docker" tab + `linkDockerCase` + run wiring + case-picker labels + export/import UI.
+- Phase 8: CLAUDE.md "Docker cases" Key Pattern + `docs/docker-cases.md` + COM.
+- Deferred refinements: in-container model-picker via `settings.local.json`; live mid-run resume-id capture into `DockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId`; rootless/Desktop uid probe (currently a platform heuristic).
+
+## 1. Goal & user stories
+
+Add "Docker cases" to Codeman: a case can point at a container instead of a local or remote-SSH path, and any of the five CLI backends (`claude` / `shell` / `opencode` / `codex` / `gemini`) runs inside that container. It is modeled as a LOCATION OVERLAY on cases, exactly like the remote-SSH feature (COD-94/#145), never as a sixth `SessionMode`.
+
+User stories:
+
+- As the repo owner, I link a case to a per-project container so an autonomous Claude/Ralph run executes in a hardened sandbox (cap-drop, non-root, resource caps) instead of directly on my host, while keeping my existing OAuth login and transcript history working with zero extra setup.
+- I set default, per-case-changeable container settings (image, network mode, memory/cpu/pids caps) at link time and edit them later, and edits actually take effect through a recreate-on-drift path (see Section 4).
+- I reconnect after a Codeman restart and land back in the SAME running agent with the conversation intact. When the CONTAINER itself was stopped/rebooted/OOM-killed (which destroys the in-container tmux), the next launch RESUMES the last conversation from the bind-mounted transcript rather than starting fresh (durability model in Section 2, Key decision 1).
+- I export a finished run's whole environment (toolchain plus workspace) to a portable, secret-free `.tar.gz`, move it to another machine, and import it back into a fresh case in one click.
+- The container never accumulates: killing the session stops it, deleting the case removes it, and an instance-scoped boot reaper reaps containers whose case is gone.
+
+Non-goals for the MVP: multi-tenant untrusted-code isolation guarantees (Codeman is loopback-default and single-operator, and the agent already runs `--dangerously-skip-permissions` on the host today), Kubernetes/compose orchestration, and per-command ephemeral containers.
+
+## 2. Chosen architecture and why
+
+The design grafts the strongest idea from each of the three proposals:
+
+- Overlay-not-a-mode + faithful remote-SSH mirror (from "Docker Cases as a Location Overlay"): lowest churn, rides the existing quick-start / mux-sessions / state / recovery plumbing.
+- Convenient-but-hardened default with an opt-in sealed profile, plus exec-time name-only secret env (from "Sealed Sandbox"): a strict security improvement over today's on-host execution without the UX tax of forcing an in-container re-login.
+- One-artifact export + in-app import route (from "Container-as-Cargo"): the genuinely new, high-value capability Codeman lacks.
+
+### Key decision 1: persistent per-CASE container, durable in-container tmux, AND resume-on-restart (the two-layer durability model)
+
+Exactly one long-lived container per Docker case, named as a pure slug function `codeman-case-<slug>` (Docker charset `^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$`; Codeman already slugs case names for tmux), so create-if-missing and boot recovery are idempotent. PID1 is `sleep infinity` under `--init` (tini reaps zombies and forwards `docker stop`'s SIGTERM); the CLI is NOT the container command. The CLI runs inside a DURABLE in-container tmux on a dedicated socket `-L codeman-docker`, session `codeman-dkr-<id8>`, the direct analog of remote's `-L codeman-remote` / `codeman-ssh-<id8>`.
+
+Two DIFFERENT failure surfaces need two DIFFERENT recovery layers, and conflating them is the central flaw the critic caught:
+
+1. Codeman-PROCESS restart while the container stays up: the in-container tmux is still alive, so `tmux new-session -A` (attach-or-create) reattaches the SAME live agent and the paneCommand is ignored. This is the remote-SSH durability idiom and it works unchanged.
+2. CONTAINER stop / daemon restart / host reboot / OOM-kill: the in-container tmux is GONE (fresh PID1). `new-session -A` will now CREATE a fresh session and run the paneCommand, which would start a brand-new conversation. This is the case the raw plan silently lost. Because the transcript directory is bind-mounted from the host (Key decision 3), the fix is to launch with RESUME: the paneCommand becomes `exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --resume <claudeSessionId>` (codex uses `resume <id>`, gemini `--resume <id>`) whenever a captured `claudeSessionId` exists. The `-A` semantics make this self-selecting: the resume flag only ever executes when tmux is actually re-created, which is exactly when the live session was lost. When tmux is still alive (case 1), attach wins and the flag is inert.
+
+Capturing / persisting / reusing the resume id (the missing mechanism the critic flagged): Codeman already learns `Session.claudeSessionId` from transcript correlation (which works here because projHash matches, Key decision 3) and persists it in `SessionState`. We thread that value into `createSessionOptions` / `respawnPaneOptions` for docker so `buildDockerLaunchCommand` can inject the resume flag on any relaunch. To make a NEW Codeman session (new `id8`) re-launched against the same case resume its predecessor's conversation, we ALSO persist `lastClaudeSessionId` on the `DockerCase` record; the quick-start docker branch seeds the new `Session` with it when the `dockerResumeOnStart` setting is on. First-ever launch has no id, so it starts fresh. This is user-decision 7 (default resume behavior).
+
+Reconciling with stop-on-kill and with the `--restart` policy (the internal inconsistency the critic found): the container is created with `--restart no` uniformly (Codeman's idempotent create-if-missing plus boot recovery is the single recovery mechanism; a restart policy would not preserve the conversation anyway because a restarted container gets a fresh PID1/tmux). Boot recovery re-runs `buildDockerLaunchCommand` from the restored `MuxSession.docker` (`docker inspect || docker create; docker start`, then exec with resume), so a host reboot or daemon restart recreates+starts the container and resumes the conversation instead of the session vanishing. `reconcileSessions` (tmux-manager.ts ~1800-1815) must NOT hard-delete a docker session merely because no LOCAL pane exists after the local `-L codeman` server died; docker (like remote) sessions are restored from `mux-sessions.json` and relaunched. This relaunch path is explicitly part of Phase 4/Phase 3 recovery work, not assumed.
+
+Why this over the alternatives: `docker exec` gets SIGHUP and dies when its client TTY closes, so a bare `docker exec claude` restarts the CLI on every reconnect/respawn. The inner tmux plus resume is what makes reconnect idempotent across BOTH failure surfaces. Because this durability is the single most important design point, tmux-in-image is a HARD gated prerequisite (`checkDockerTmuxAvailable`), never a silent fallback to bare exec. Rejected alternatives: ephemeral-per-run or bare-exec containers (no reattach durability); a literal `'docker'` `SessionMode` (touches dozens of switch/enum sites and diverges from the remote overlay precedent, since Docker is a LOCATION orthogonal to the 5 CLI backends).
+
+### Key decision 2: CLI + auth delivery
+
+One prebuilt base image (built once, contains NO secrets): `node:22-bookworm-slim` + `git tmux ripgrep ca-certificates`, `npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code @openai/codex @google/gemini-cli opencode-ai`, an `agent` user, HOME dirs made writable by an arbitrary host uid via the OpenShift "gid 0, group-writable" convention (Key decision 6). Because the toolchain is baked, export is reproducible and needs no network at import time. The image name/namespace/registry and its refresh cadence are user-decision 2 (the `codeman/agent:base` placeholder implies a Docker Hub org the project may not own).
+
+Credentials are delivered ONLY at runtime, two commit-safe channels, default convenient:
+
+- OAuth/config-file CLIs (Claude Max/Pro, gcloud, opencode): bind-mount the host credential dirs read-write (`~/.claude`, `~/.codex`, `~/.gemini` + `~/.config/gcloud`, `~/.config/opencode`) so the common user "just works" with no in-container login. Because these are bind mounts, `docker commit` (which captures only the container's own writable layer, never bind mounts) physically cannot capture them, so exports stay secret-free.
+- API-key CLIs (codex/gemini): exec-time NAME-ONLY `docker exec --env OPENAI_API_KEY --env GEMINI_API_KEY ...` (no `=value`), sourced from Codeman's own process env. Only the key NAME appears in argv (no `ps` leak), and per-exec env is never captured by `docker commit`. This is the technique Codeman already uses via `tmux setenv` for the local Codex/Gemini panes, so it composes with existing machinery.
+
+Per-host `DockerHost.mountCredentials` defaults `true` (convenient); setting it `false` yields a SEALED profile (no host cred mounts, in-container login only) for genuinely untrusted work. CRITICAL sealed-mode export rule (the leak the critic caught): in sealed mode the in-container login writes tokens into the container's OWN writable layer, which `docker commit` DOES capture, so a full-image export of a sealed container would ship credentials. Therefore full-image export is REFUSED for `mountCredentials:false` containers by default; the user may either take a workspace-only export (always safe) or opt into a pre-commit scrub that `docker exec`s `rm -rf ~/.claude ~/.codex ~/.gemini ~/.config/gcloud ~/.config/opencode` inside the container before commit (destructive to the in-container login, which is the point). This is enforced in the export route, not left to a manifest assertion.
+
+Per-session `envOverrides` / `effort` / `codexConfig` / `geminiConfig` / `openCodeConfig` are REJECTED at quick-start exactly like the remote branch (session-routes.ts ~1698-1710). `modelOverride` is the one deliberate difference from remote: because the docker workspace is a REAL bind-mounted host dir that Codeman scaffolds (Key decision 5 and Section 6), `updateCaseModel()` can write the `model` key into `<workspace>/.claude/settings.local.json` and the in-container `claude` reads it, so the App Settings Claude Model picker works for docker cases. `effort` is a `--effort` CLI arg applied only by the local-spawn path we bypass, so it stays rejected (surfaced honestly in the UI, not silently inert). Per-mode command customization goes through `DockerHost.commands.<mode>` (`defaultDockerCommandForMode`, mirror of `defaultRemoteCommandForMode` at remote-hosts.ts:60). NEVER bake secrets into an image layer and NEVER pass a secret via create-time `-e` (both are committed).
+
+Rejected alternative: sealed-by-default. For a single-operator loopback tool where the agent already runs skip-permissions on the host, forcing an in-container OAuth re-login is a UX regression with little real gain. We keep sealed as an opt-in. Rejected alternative: baking a login into the image, which leaks the instant you `docker save`.
+
+### Key decision 3: workspace mount, container CWD, and transcript correlation
+
+Bind-mount the host workspace dir into the container at the SAME absolute path (`dst == src`, mirror the host path), and set both `Session.workingDir` and the container workdir to that host path.
+
+Two problems this solves that the raw proposals got wrong:
+
+- File features: `DockerCase.hostWorkspacePath` is a REAL host directory, so `Session.workingDir = hostWorkspacePath` keeps file-routes, attachments, image-watcher, and previews working on real host bytes (unlike remote, where the path is remote-only and those features no-op). All three proposals wired `casePath = <container path>`; we deliberately diverge and use the host path.
+- Transcript correlation: Claude writes transcripts under `~/.claude/projects/<hash-of-CWD>/`. By mirroring the host path as the container CWD, the projHash computed inside the container equals the host-side hash Codeman's transcript/subagent/workflow watchers expect, so correlation keeps working (and, in turn, feeds the resume-id capture in Key decision 1). A `/workspace`-style fixed dst would break it. Mirror-vs-fixed is user-decision 3.
+
+`resolveMuxAttachCwd` still returns `/tmp` for docker sessions (the LOCAL bash pane only runs `docker exec`; it never needs the workspace as its cwd), mirroring remote.
+
+### Key decision 4: network default and the engine-specific host gateway
+
+Default `bridge` (own netns, NAT egress, no inbound), per-case changeable to `none` (offline shell sandbox; warned because it breaks the API CLIs) or `custom` (a user-defined bridge `codeman-net-<slug>`, the chokepoint for a future egress allowlist). `host` networking and any `-p` inbound publish are structurally unrepresentable in the flag builder and schema. Rationale: every API-backed CLI (Claude, Codex, Gemini) plus npm/git needs egress, so `bridge` is the only sane functional default; `none` is reserved for `shell`.
+
+The host-callback gateway alias is ENGINE-SPECIFIC (the critic's podman finding): Docker uses `host.docker.internal`, Podman uses `host.containers.internal` (Docker's alias only exists on recent podman). A helper `hostGatewayAlias(engine)` returns the right name; Section 2.5, the create args, the `CODEMAN_API_URL` rewrite, and the host-guard allowlist all consume it, and BOTH aliases are added to the allowlist so a mixed fleet keeps working.
+
+### Key decision 5: hooks actually reach the host AND are actually installed
+
+Two independent things must both be true for a hook to fire, and the raw plan wired only the first:
+
+1. Network reachability. Claude Code hooks POST to `$CODEMAN_API_URL` (`curl -sk`). Inside a bridge container `localhost` is the container and prod binds `127.0.0.1`, so we set `--add-host <gatewayAlias>:host-gateway` on create (skipped on Docker Desktop, where the alias is native), add the gateway alias to the host guard, and provide `CODEMAN_API_URL` and the hook secret (below).
+2. Hook INSTALLATION. Hooks live in `<workspace>/.claude/settings.local.json`, written by the quick-start scaffolding block (around session-routes.ts ~1776) that calls `writeHooksConfig()` / `updateCaseModel()`. The raw plan extended the `!remote` guard to `!remote && !docker`, which would SKIP that block and silently disable ALL hooks regardless of networking. For docker the workspace is a REAL bind-mounted host dir, so the scaffolding block MUST run. Precise fix: extend to `!remote && !docker` ONLY the LOCAL-CLI-availability and local-spawn guards (the ones that stat the local binary or build the local spawn command); leave the workspace-scaffolding guard at `!remote` so it runs for docker. This same decision is what makes `modelOverride` work (Key decision 2). Consequence, surfaced as user-decision 4: linking a docker case now WRITES `.claude/settings.local.json` (and the CLAUDE.md scaffold, matching local-case behavior) into the user's real host directory, a behavioral shift from "link a dir" to "link and scaffold a dir."
+
+`CODEMAN_API_URL` derivation (the wrong-scheme bug the critic caught): prod is HTTPS-only on 3000, and `server.ts` (~2000) auto-sets `process.env.CODEMAN_API_URL = ${protocol}://${apiHost}:${port}`. Hardcoding `http://host.docker.internal:3000` fails every hook. Instead a pure helper `containerApiUrl(process.env.CODEMAN_API_URL, engine)` parses the running URL and substitutes ONLY the hostname with `hostGatewayAlias(engine)`, preserving scheme and port (`https://host.docker.internal:3000`). Unit-tested against http, https, non-default ports, and both engines. Passed as create-time `--env CODEMAN_API_URL=<derived>` (case-stable, non-secret).
+
+Hook secret and session attribution:
+- `~/.codeman/hook-secret` is bind-mounted read-only to a container path; `--env CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE=<that path>` is create-time (a path is non-secret; the bytes ride the bind mount and are never committed).
+- `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID` (which the generated hooks reference at hooks-config.ts:78-80 to attribute events) plus `CODEMAN_MUX=1` are SESSION-scoped, so they are passed at EXEC time via `docker exec --env CODEMAN_SESSION_ID=<id> --env CODEMAN_MUX=1` (non-secret, value inline is fine, and exec env is not committed). Because a `tmux` session started fresh only inherits the invoking env when it starts the SERVER, the launch chain ALSO runs `tmux -L codeman-docker setenv -g CODEMAN_SESSION_ID <id>` (and `CODEMAN_MUX`) so reattaches and newly created panes see the same values. This mirrors how Codeman already injects per-session env into tmux for the external CLIs.
+
+Hooks-in-MVP-vs-deferred stays user-decision 4; if deferred, docker ships as explicitly hook-degraded and we lean on output-based idle detection through the docker-exec PTY.
+
+### Key decision 6: uid / HOME / rootless enforcement / macOS Docker Desktop
+
+The raw plan showed `--user 1000:1000` in one place and `--user "$(id -u):$(id -g)"` in another and never resolved HOME writability; this section fixes all of it.
+
+- Linux native (docker rootful or rootless): run `--user <hostUid>:0` (host uid, GID 0). The image follows the OpenShift arbitrary-uid convention: `HOME=/home/agent`, and `/home/agent` plus the tool cache dirs (`~/.npm`, `~/.cache`, `~/.config`) are owned `root:0` and group-writable (`chmod -R g+w`, `g+s` on dirs) so a process with GID 0 can write HOME even though its UID is not 1000. This keeps workspace files host-owned (the agent's UID is the host UID) AND keeps HOME writable, so the CLIs actually start.
+- Podman rootless: use `--userns=keep-id` (maps the host uid to the image's `agent` uid inside the container) instead of `--user`, so `/home/agent` is owned by the running user and workspace files are host-owned. This is a real per-engine branch in `buildDockerCreateArgs`.
+- macOS Docker Desktop: `--user <macUid>` (e.g. 501) does not own the image's `/home/agent`, so non-bind HOME writes fail EACCES and the CLIs may not start; Desktop also does its own bind-mount uid translation, provides `host.docker.internal` natively (no `--add-host`), and its VM memory ceiling can cap `--memory`. Detect Desktop via `docker info` (Server OS `linuxkit` / `OperatingString` contains "Docker Desktop") and take a dedicated path: do NOT pass `--user` (run as the image's baked `agent` uid and rely on Desktop's translation for workspace access), skip `--add-host`, and note in the UI that memory caps are subject to the VM ceiling.
+
+Rootless resource-cap enforcement (the silently-inert risk): rootless Docker without cgroup-v2 systemd delegation (`Delegate=yes`) silently IGNORES `--memory`/`--cpus`/`--pids-limit`. The probe checks `docker info` for `CgroupVersion=2` plus rootless plus delegation; if caps cannot be enforced, `checkDockerAvailable` returns `capsEnforced:false` and the link/probe surfaces "resource caps are advisory on this engine." Whether to REQUIRE delegation or ship-with-warning is user-decision 6.
+
+## 3. Data model
+
+New TypeScript types in `src/types/session.ts`, added right after the remote types (lines 46-99). SessionMode (line 44) is UNCHANGED.
+
+```ts
+export type DockerCommandMode = Extract<SessionMode, 'shell' | 'claude' | 'opencode' | 'codex' | 'gemini'>;
+export type DockerEngine = 'docker' | 'podman';

+- `SessionState` gains `docker?: SessionDocker` immediately after `remote?` (line 219). It persists automatically because `SessionState` is structural and `state-store.ts` stores `toState()` verbatim.
+- `src/mux-interface.ts`: add `docker?: SessionDocker` to `MuxSession` (after line 38), `CreateSessionOptions` (after 81), `RespawnPaneOptions` (after 105). `MuxSession.docker` round-trips through `mux-sessions.json` automatically.
+- `src/types/api.ts` `CaseInfo`: add `'docker'` to the `location` union and a `docker?: { hostId; container; image?; path; network }` display block.
+- `src/services/unified-session-service.ts`: add a boolean `docker?` flag on `UnifiedSessionItem` and source rows, set from `MuxSession.docker` presence (mirror the `remote` flag at ~line 200 and the harvest at session-routes.ts:2313).
+
+New state files (all via `dataPath()`, mirroring `remote-hosts.json` / `remote-cases.json`):
+
+- `~/.codeman/docker-hosts.json` (reusable engine/image/network/resource profiles).
+- `~/.codeman/docker-cases.json` (`name -> DockerCase`, including `lastClaudeSessionId`).
+- `~/.codeman/docker-exports/` (dedicated dir for `.image.tar.gz` + `.workspace.tar.gz` + `manifest.json`; never inline in state.json; retention/pruning per Section 5).
+
+No new `state.json` / `mux-sessions.json` files: `SessionState.docker` and `MuxSession.docker` ride the existing serialization.
+
+## 4. Container lifecycle (exact command shapes)
+
+All builders are PURE string functions (directly unit-testable). Host values interpolated into the outer `bash -c "..."` layer (container name, image, workdir, host paths) are `shellescape()`'d and, for user-supplied fields, schema-rejected for `$`/backtick via `NO_SHELL_META`. The escaping chain here is DEEPER than remote's single `ssh '<tmux ...>'`: the whole `docker inspect || docker create <dozens of --mount/--env/shellescaped host paths>` is interpolated into `bash -c "..."` then `JSON.stringify`'d into respawn-pane. This is a known place to get stuck, so it is covered by concrete escaping tests (Section 9), including host workspace paths containing spaces, not just a "we call shellescape" claim.
+
+New in `src/tmux-manager.ts`:
+
+```ts
+const DOCKER_TMUX_SOCKET = 'codeman-docker';
+// 'dkr' letters deliberately FAIL SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN (^codeman-[a-f0-9-]+$),
+// so a Codeman running INSIDE the container never adopts/resizes/respawns our session.
+export function dockerTmuxSessionName(id: string): string { return `codeman-dkr-${id.slice(0, 8)}`; }
+```
+
+`buildDockerBaseArgs(docker)` (pure, in `docker-hosts.ts`, mirror of `buildSshConnectionArgs`) emits the engine prefix tokens: `docker` (or `podman`) + optional `--context <ctx>` or `-H <daemonHost>`. `buildDockerCreateArgs(docker, sessionId)` emits the `docker create` flag array (with the per-engine uid/userns branch from Key decision 6).
+
+IMAGE PRESENCE (before any create, the auto-pull footgun the critic caught): the launch chain runs `docker image inspect <image> >/dev/null 2>&1` first; on miss it exits with a distinct message ("base image <ref> not present: build with scripts/build-agent-image.mjs or pull it") rather than triggering a blocking multi-GB auto-pull inside the tmux pane. `docker create` carries `--pull=never`. The tmux-availability probe likewise uses `docker run --rm --pull=never <image> sh -lc 'command -v tmux'` and reports the same build/pull hint if the image is absent, so the 15s-bounded probe never hangs on a pull.
+
+CREATE (the ensure step, embedded in the launch string):
+
+```
+docker create \
+  --name codeman-case-myproj --hostname myproj \
+  --label codeman.managed=1 --label codeman.instance=<CODEMAN_INSTANCE> \
+  --label codeman.case=myproj --label codeman.session=<id8> \
+  --label codeman.confighash=<hash> \
+  --pull=never --init --restart no \
+  --user 1000:0 \
+  --workdir '/home/arkon/cases/myproj' \
+  --mount type=bind,src='/home/arkon/cases/myproj',dst='/home/arkon/cases/myproj' \
+  --mount type=bind,src='/home/arkon/.claude',dst='/home/agent/.claude' \
+  --mount type=bind,src='/home/arkon/.codeman/hook-secret',dst='/home/agent/.codeman/hook-secret',readonly \
+  --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway \
+  --memory 4g --memory-swap 4g --cpus 2 --pids-limit 512 --ulimit nofile=4096:8192 \

+  --network bridge \
+  --env HOME=/home/agent --env TERM=xterm-256color --env COLORTERM=truecolor \
+  --env CODEMAN_API_URL=https://host.docker.internal:3000 \
+  --env CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE=/home/agent/.codeman/hook-secret \
+  codeman/agent:base \
+  sleep infinity
+```
+
+- `--user 1000:0` shown is the Linux-native form with GID 0 (Key decision 6); it is actually `--user <hostUid>:0`, or `--userns=keep-id` for podman rootless, or omitted on Docker Desktop. The literal is illustrative only.
+- Create-time `--env` carries only NON-SESSION, non-secret, case-stable values (safe to be committed): the DERIVED `CODEMAN_API_URL` (https-preserving, Key decision 5) and the hook-secret FILE PATH. `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`/`CODEMAN_MUX` and the codex/gemini key NAMES are exec-time only.
+- `codeman.instance=<CODEMAN_INSTANCE>` is REQUIRED on the label set so the boot reaper is instance-scoped (a beta/second instance must never reap prod's containers).
+- `codeman.confighash` is a stable hash of the drift-relevant create args (image, resources, network, mounts, non-session env). Drift detection (user story 2, the config-never-takes-effect gap): on launch the ensure block compares the desired hash to the existing container's label; on mismatch the launch does NOT silently reuse the stale container. Instead the docker route returns a "container config changed, recreate?" action (SSE + UI confirm), and on confirm Codeman `docker rm`'s and recreates. rm destroys in-image (non-bind) state, but the workspace and transcripts survive on their bind mounts and the conversation is restored via `--resume`, so the recreate is safe. Auto-recreate-vs-prompt is a UI choice; the MVP prompts.
+- `--restart no` (resolved consistently with Key decision 1; recovery is Codeman's idempotent create-if-missing, not an engine restart policy, which also matters for Podman which has no daemon).
+
+EXEC (`buildDockerLaunchCommand`, the docker analog of `buildRemoteLaunchCommand`, TTY-correct, resume-aware). The whole thing is ONE `bash -c` string that image-checks, ensures, starts, primes tmux env, then execs:
+
+```
+docker image inspect codeman/agent:base >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo 'Codeman: base image codeman/agent:base not present (build or pull it)'; exit 1; } ; \
+docker inspect codeman-case-myproj >/dev/null 2>&1 || docker create <all create args above> ; \
+docker start codeman-case-myproj >/dev/null 2>&1 || { echo 'Codeman: container codeman-case-myproj failed to start (daemon down?)'; exit 1; } ; \
+exec docker exec -it \
+  --workdir '/home/arkon/cases/myproj' \
+  --env TERM=xterm-256color --env COLORTERM=truecolor \
+  --env CODEMAN_SESSION_ID=1a2b3c4d --env CODEMAN_MUX=1 \
+  --env OPENAI_API_KEY --env GEMINI_API_KEY \
+  codeman-case-myproj \
+  sh -lc 'tmux -L codeman-docker setenv -g CODEMAN_SESSION_ID 1a2b3c4d \; setenv -g CODEMAN_MUX 1 \; new-session -A -s codeman-dkr-1a2b3c4d -c '\''/home/arkon/cases/myproj'\'' '\''cd /home/arkon/cases/myproj && exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --resume <claudeSessionId>'\'' \; set -t codeman-dkr-1a2b3c4d status off \; set -t codeman-dkr-1a2b3c4d mouse off \; set -t codeman-dkr-1a2b3c4d prefix C-q \; set -s escape-time 0'
+```
+
+- `docker exec -it`: `-t` allocates a PTY and forwards SIGWINCH into the container so the Ink TUI re-lays-out on pane resize; `TERM`/`COLORTERM` prevent degraded rendering. `--env OPENAI_API_KEY` (name only) is present only for codex/gemini and is exec-time (never committed). `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`/`CODEMAN_MUX` are exec-time values plus a `tmux setenv -g` prime so reattaches and new panes inherit them (Key decision 5).
+- `--resume <claudeSessionId>` (codex `resume <id>`, gemini `--resume <id>`) is appended to `modeCommand` ONLY when a captured id exists; on first launch it is omitted. `new-session -A` makes the flag inert on a live-tmux reattach and effective only when tmux is re-created (Key decision 1).
+- `modeCommand = docker.commands?.[mode] || defaultDockerCommandForMode(mode)` (`exec claude --dangerously-skip-permissions`, `exec bash -l`, etc.), with the resume suffix injected by the builder.
+- Escaping survives every layer identically to remote in shape but deeper in nesting: `paneCommand` (`cd ... && exec ...`) is one shellescaped tmux arg, the whole `tmuxInvocation` is one shellescaped `sh -lc` arg, and the outer string is `JSON.stringify()`'d into `bash -c` by respawn-pane (tmux-manager.ts:1329).
+
+Wire-up (extend the two existing seams to 3-way):
+
+- createSession (tmux-manager.ts:1276): `const fullCmd = docker ? buildDockerLaunchCommand({ mode, docker, sessionId, resumeSessionId }) : remote ? buildRemoteLaunchCommand({ mode, remote, sessionId }) : localFullCmd;`
+- launchCmd cd-skip (tmux-manager.ts:1327): `const launchCmd = (remote || docker) ? fullCmd : \`cd ${JSON.stringify(workingDir)} && ${fullCmd}\`;`
+- respawnPane: same two edits at lines 1524 and 1542.
+
+START / reattach-after-reboot: the ensure block (image-check, `docker inspect || docker create`, `docker start`) is fully idempotent, so boot recovery just re-runs `buildDockerLaunchCommand` from the restored `MuxSession.docker` with the persisted resume id. A rebooted host recreates the container and resumes the conversation.
+
+DOCKER-DOWN surfacing (the PTY-exit-breaker false-trip risk): if `docker start` or `docker exec` cannot attach (daemon down, container missing), the launch prints a docker-specific message and exits, which alone would still count toward `session-pty-exit-breaker` and show a generic "respawn breaker tripped" push. To avoid masking the cause, the docker reattach path runs a fast `checkDockerAvailable` pre-flight: if the daemon/container is unreachable, Codeman broadcasts a docker-specific error (SSE + push, "container <name> is not running / daemon down") and SKIPS the auto-reattach that would trip the breaker, rather than fast-looping `docker exec`.
+
+STOP / KILL (`killSession` Strategy 3c, right after remote's Strategy 3b at tmux-manager.ts:1719, guarded by `IS_TEST_MODE`):
+
+```ts
+if (session.docker) {
+  // best-effort, fire-and-forget, timeout-bounded so it never blocks the local kill
+  execAsync(buildDockerKillCommand({ docker: session.docker, sessionId }), { timeout: EXEC_TIMEOUT_MS }).catch(() => {});
+}
+```
+
+`buildDockerKillCommand` emits: `docker exec codeman-case-<slug> tmux -L codeman-docker kill-session -t codeman-dkr-<id8> ; docker stop -t 10 codeman-case-<slug>`. Stopping frees CPU/RAM and, per Key decision 1, is safe for conversation continuity because the NEXT launch resumes from the bind-mounted transcript via `--resume`. Whether to stop at all (RAM vs instant live-agent reattach) is user-decision 6/1 (reframed honestly). The bind-mounted workspace and transcripts always survive on the host.
+
+REMOVE: only on explicit case delete (`docker rm -f codeman-case-<slug>`), gated behind an "export first?" UI prompt because rm destroys any in-image (non-bind) state. Instance-scoped boot reaper (fixing the racy/cross-instance reaper): after `docker-cases.json` is loaded AND after `restoreMuxSessions` has run, enumerate `docker ps -a --filter label=codeman.managed=1 --filter label=codeman.instance=<CODEMAN_INSTANCE> --format '{{.Names}}\t{{index .Labels "codeman.case"}}'` and `docker rm -f` only containers whose case is gone from THIS instance's `docker-cases.json`. The instance filter is what stops a beta reaping prod's containers (the exact cross-instance hazard the project memory warns about).
+
+AVAILABILITY PROBE (`docker-hosts.ts`, timeout-bounded like `checkRemoteTmuxAvailable`'s 15s, `IS_TEST_MODE` no-op):
+
+```
+docker info --format '{{json .}}'                                  # server up, CgroupVersion, rootless, OS (Desktop detect), cap-delegation
+docker image inspect <image> --format '{{.Id}}'                    # image PRESENT (no auto-pull)
+docker run --rm --pull=never <image> sh -lc 'command -v tmux'      # tmux-in-image gate (hard prerequisite), only if image present
+```
+
+`checkDockerAvailable()` returns `{ ok, engine, rootless, isDesktop, cgroupV2, capsEnforced }` (parse `SecurityOptions` for `name=rootless`, `CgroupVersion`, delegation, and Server OS for Desktop). `checkDockerTmuxAvailable(host)` returns a structured result with a user-facing error and correct install hint (NOT `npm install -g`; the hint is "build/pull the base image" for a missing image and "install docker or podman" for a missing engine).
+
+IN-CONTAINER CLI VERSION (fixing the #154 wheel-forwarding regression): the raw plan skipped the LOCAL `cliVersion` probe for docker (correct, since it reports the HOST claude) but left `cliVersion` undefined, which disables trackpad wheel-forwarding. Instead, for docker sessions Codeman runs an IN-CONTAINER probe `docker exec <container> claude --version` (bounded, `IS_TEST_MODE` no-op) and feeds THAT into `cliVersion`. This also means a stale baked CLI is visible; combined with the rebuild-cadence in user-decision 2, agents are not silently pinned to an old claude.
+
+## 5. Export / Import
+
+EXPORT is a concurrency-bounded job (reuse `runWithConversionLimit` from `document-conversion-limiter.ts` so N simultaneous exports cannot fork-bomb the host). Route `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/export`.
+
+Preconditions (the consistency and leak risks the critic caught):
+- Sealed guard: if `mountCredentials:false`, full-image export is REFUSED unless the caller explicitly opts into the pre-commit scrub (Key decision 2). Workspace-only export is always allowed.
+- Quiesce + free-space: require the session idle, then `docker pause` the container spanning BOTH the workspace tar AND the commit so the two artifacts are mutually consistent (the raw plan paused only the commit, leaving the bind-mount tar to run against a mid-write agent). Before any heavy step, precheck free space in the exports dir and in `/var/lib/docker`; if below `DOCKER_EXPORT_MIN_FREE_BYTES`, refuse with a clear error (a full `/var/lib/docker` wedges the daemon and breaks EVERY session on the host).
+
+Steps (all cleanup in try/finally so a mid-way failure never orphans an intermediate image or leaves the container paused):
+
+1. `docker commit -c 'LABEL codeman.exported=1' codeman-case-<slug> codeman/export-<slug>:<ts>` (unique tag per export defeats the stale-image trap). Optional pre-commit scrub in sealed mode as above; also blank instance-specific committed env (`-c 'ENV CODEMAN_API_URL='` etc.) so the image carries no stale host references.
+2. `docker save codeman/export-<slug>:<ts> | gzip` streamed in fixed 8192-byte chunks to `~/.codeman/docker-exports/<slug>-<ts>.image.tar.gz`. Uses `docker save` (layers + repo:tag + CMD), never `docker export` (flat rootfs), so restore is a trivial `docker load`.
+3. `tar --numeric-owner -C <hostWorkspacePath> -czf <slug>-<ts>.workspace.tar.gz .` while paused (the bind-mounted workspace is NOT in the image, so it travels separately and consistently).
+4. Write `manifest.json`: schema version, caseName, image tag, engine, containerWorkdir, resource/network config, codeman version, base-image digest, createdAt, per-member sha256, `mountCredentials`, and `secretFree` (true only for convenient-mode or scrubbed-sealed exports).
+5. `docker rmi codeman/export-<slug>:<ts>` in the `finally` (delete the intermediate committed image regardless of success), then `docker unpause`.
+
+The three files are wrapped in one bundle `<slug>-<ts>.codeman-container.tgz` and offered as a downloadable artifact through the existing file-routes streaming + attachment-registry handoff.
+
+Retention / disk budget (user-decision 3): `docker-exports/` is capped at `DOCKER_EXPORT_KEEP` most-recent bundles with an auto-prune on each new export, plus the free-space precheck above. Workspace scrub: the WORKSPACE tar gets a scan/warn pass for agent-created `.env` / `.git/credentials` (a distinct leak channel from container creds). A lighter "workspace-only" export (just the workspace tar, no commit/save) is the fast default for 24h+ runs; full-image is the explicit heavier option (user-decision 7 in the original list, now decision on the default button below).
+
+What travels: the baked toolchain image plus any in-image writes, and the workspace tar. What does NOT travel: bind-mounted credentials (physically excluded from commit) and anything that lived only in a bind mount. Secret-free by construction in convenient mode, and enforced (refuse-or-scrub) in sealed mode.
+
+IMPORT `POST /api/docker-cases/import` (untrusted-bundle containment, the traversal/overwrite risk): stream the uploaded bundle, validate every manifest checksum BEFORE any extraction or load. Extract the workspace tar with `tar --no-absolute-names -C <fresh dir>` PLUS per-entry validation rejecting any member whose normalized path escapes the destination (leading `/` or `..` components). `gunzip | docker load` the image, then RE-TAG the loaded image id into a quarantined namespace `codeman/imported-<slug>:<ts>` and NEVER allow the load to overwrite `codeman/agent:base` or any pre-existing tag (capture the loaded id, ignore the bundle's repo:tag). Create a NEW `DockerCase` pointing at the quarantined image with THIS host's mounts/creds and the manifest's resource/network config, and recreate the container hardened (cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, non-root, `--pull=never`, CMD overridden to `sleep infinity`). The destination supplies its own login, so credentials never cross machines. Plus `GET /api/docker-exports` (list) and `DELETE /api/docker-exports/:filename`, all behind Codeman's existing auth / loopback-default / host-guard / Origin-CSRF stack.
+
+## 6. Codeman integration (file-by-file, mirroring the remote-SSH feature)
+
+- `src/types/session.ts`: add `DockerCommandMode`, `DockerEngine`, `DockerNetworkMode`, `DockerResourceLimits`, `DockerHost`, `DockerCase`, `SessionDocker` (Section 3). Add `docker?: SessionDocker` to `SessionState` after line 219. SessionMode (line 44) UNCHANGED.
+- `src/mux-interface.ts`: add `docker?: SessionDocker` to `MuxSession` (38), `CreateSessionOptions` (81), `RespawnPaneOptions` (105).
+- `src/docker-hosts.ts` (NEW, direct mirror of `src/remote-hosts.ts`): `readDockerHosts`/`writeDockerHosts`/`readDockerCases`/`writeDockerCases` (via `dataPath`, including `lastClaudeSessionId` read/write), `defaultDockerCommandForMode` (mirror line 60), `dockerDisplayPath` (`container:/path`, mirror `remoteDisplayPath` at 205), `toSessionDocker(host, case)` (mirror `toSessionRemote` at 212), `buildDockerBaseArgs`/`buildDockerCreateArgs` (per-engine uid/userns branch), `hostGatewayAlias(engine)`, `containerApiUrl(processApiUrl, engine)` (scheme+port-preserving, unit-tested), `checkDockerAvailable`/`checkDockerTmuxAvailable`/`probeDockerCliVersion` (15s-bounded, `IS_TEST_MODE` no-op), a config-hash helper for drift, its own POSIX `shellescape` copy (mirror line 83). `const IS_TEST_MODE = !!process.env.VITEST;` gates every real `docker` invocation.
+- `src/tmux-manager.ts`: add `DOCKER_TMUX_SOCKET`, `dockerTmuxSessionName`, `buildDockerLaunchCommand` (resume-aware, image-check, env-prime), `buildDockerKillCommand` (Section 4). Extend the two `fullCmd` ternaries (1276, 1524) and the two `launchCmd` cd-skips (1327, 1542). Add `killSession` Strategy 3c after 1719. Ensure `reconcileSessions` (~1800-1815) does NOT hard-delete docker sessions on local-tmux death (recovery relaunch path).
+- `src/session.ts`: add `_docker?: SessionDocker` field (mirror `_remote` at 403), constructor arg (477), assignment (550). Thread `docker: this._docker` and `resumeSessionId: this._claudeSessionId` into BOTH `createSessionOptions` and `respawnPaneOptions` in `startInteractive` (1352/1370) and the second path (1740/1750). Emit `docker: this._docker` in `toState()` (1010). Replace the LOCAL cliVersion probe at 1320 for docker with the IN-CONTAINER `probeDockerCliVersion` (do not merely skip it). Extend `resolveMuxAttachCwd(workingDir, remote, docker)` (215) to return `/tmp` when `docker` is set. On claudeSessionId capture, persist it to the owning `DockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId`.
+- `src/web/server.ts`: in `restoreMuxSessions` (2160), add `docker: muxSession.docker ?? savedState?.docker` to the `new Session({...})` call (2195-2216), and skip docker in the same `isExternalCliMode`/Ralph recovery guards as remote. Register the instance-scoped boot reaper to run AFTER docker-cases load and AFTER `restoreMuxSessions`. Ensure `CODEMAN_API_URL` derivation reads the SAME `process.env.CODEMAN_API_URL` the server sets at ~2000.
+- `src/web/schemas.ts`: add `DockerHostSchema` and `DockerCaseLinkSchema` (below). The three mode enums (177/373/705) and `QuickStartSchema` (368) UNCHANGED (docker resolves by `caseName` lookup like remote).
+- `src/web/routes/session-routes.ts`: import the docker helpers from `../../docker-hosts.js`. Add a docker branch in `/api/quick-start` parallel to the remote branch (1686-1720): `readDockerCases` -> find by `caseName` -> `readDockerHosts` -> find by `hostId`; reject `envOverrides`/`effort`/`codexConfig`/`geminiConfig`/`openCodeConfig` (but ACCEPT `modelOverride`, which flows via scaffolded `settings.local.json`); run `checkDockerAvailable` + `checkDockerTmuxAvailable` (image-present, engine, caps-enforced); surface `capsEnforced:false` and Desktop notes; set `casePath = dockerCase.hostWorkspacePath` (REAL host dir), `docker = toSessionDocker(host, dockerCase)`, and seed `resumeSessionId` from `dockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId` when `resumeOnStart`. Extend the LOCAL-availability and local-spawn guards (around 1796/1810) to `!remote && !docker`, but DO NOT extend the workspace-scaffolding guard (~1776, `writeHooksConfig`/`updateCaseModel`), which MUST run for docker. Pass `docker` into `new Session` (1847); `autoConfigureRalph` (1853) gated on `!docker`. Add `docker: m.docker !== undefined ? true : undefined` to the unified harvest (2313).
+- `src/web/routes/case-routes.ts`: import the docker read/write/check helpers + schemas. Add a docker listing loop in `GET /api/cases` (mirror 94-119, `location: 'docker'`, `docker: {...}` via `dockerDisplayPath`). Add `/api/docker-hosts` GET/POST/PUT/DELETE (mirror 168-204) and `POST /api/cases/docker-link` (mirror 206-232; run `checkDockerAvailable`/`checkDockerTmuxAvailable` at link time; broadcast `CaseLinked` with `type: 'docker'`). Add a docker-unlink branch to `DELETE /api/cases/:name` (mirror 288-296; `docker rm -f`; broadcast `CaseDeleted` `type: 'docker-unlinked'`). Add the docker branch to single-case `GET` (mirror 358-368). Add `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/export`, `/import`, `GET/DELETE /api/docker-exports`, and a `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/recreate` (drift confirm) per Sections 4 and 5.
+- `src/web/sse-events.ts` + `src/web/public/constants.js`: reuse `CaseLinked`/`CaseDeleted` for CRUD. Add `docker:exportProgress`, `docker:exportComplete`, `docker:importComplete`, `docker:configDrift`, and `docker:containerError` to BOTH registries (kept in sync per CLAUDE.md).
+- Frontend `src/web/public/index.html` (~1831): add a Docker `modal-tab-btn` next to Remote; add a `#case-docker` panel mirroring `#case-remote` with `dockerCaseName`, `dockerHostWorkspacePath`, `dockerContainer`, `dockerImage`, `dockerHostId`, and an Advanced `<details>` for network mode, resource caps, `mountCredentials`, `resumeOnStart`, and remote daemon. Surface a "scaffolds .claude into this host dir" note (user-decision 4) and a "resource caps advisory on this engine" warning when `capsEnforced:false`.
+- Frontend `src/web/public/session-ui.js`: `formatCasePickerLabel` (48) + `buildCasePickerOptions` (71-73) handle `location === 'docker'` (`name @ container`, add container/image to the search haystack); `resetCaseModalFields` (~1514) add a `dockerFields` array; `switchCaseModalTab` (1573/1580/1597) handle `'case-docker'`; `submitCaseModal` add the docker branch; new `linkDockerCase()` (mirror `linkRemoteCase` at 1689) POSTing `/api/docker-hosts` then `/api/cases/docker-link`, sending omitted optionals as `undefined` (spread `...(x ? {x} : {})`, never `null`, per the Zod `.optional()`-rejects-null gotcha); `runClaude` (520) / `runShell` (702) extend the `location === 'remote'` routing to also match `'docker'`; `runOpenCode`/`runCodex`/`runGemini` (792/846/900) make the `isRemote` checks `isRemoteOrDocker` so local status probes are skipped. In the session-options Summary tab, note that `effort` is inert for docker (rejected) while `model` IS honored via `settings.local.json`.
+- Frontend `src/web/public/panels-ui.js` (425-426): add `caseItem?.docker?.path`/`container` to the case-search fields.

+
+`NO_SHELL_META` (rejects `$`/backtick, schemas.ts:297) is REQUIRED on `image`, `hostWorkspacePath`, `containerWorkdir`, and `container`, because all four reach the outer `bash -c "..."` double-quote layer where `$(...)`/backtick re-expose, exactly the reason `remotePath`/`identityFile` use it. `--privileged` and any `-v /var/run/docker.sock` are structurally unrepresentable (never emitted by the builder, never accepted by the schema).
+
+## 7. Security model
+
+- Hardening flags on every create: `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges` (NOT auto-set by rootless Docker or Podman, so always explicit), the uid/userns branch of Key decision 6 (never container-root; workspace files stay host-owned and HOME stays writable via GID 0), `--pids-limit` (fork-bomb guard), `--memory` with `--memory-swap == --memory` (real OOM cap), `--ulimit nofile`, `--init`, `--pull=never`. NEVER `--privileged`, NEVER mount the docker socket into the agent container. `--storage-opt size=` is emitted ONLY after the probe confirms overlay2-on-xfs-pquota or btrfs (the AICE-class silently-ignored trap); otherwise it is omitted and the UI does not advertise a size cap. Resource caps are advertised as ENFORCED only when the probe reports `capsEnforced:true`; under non-delegated rootless they are labeled advisory (user-decision 6).
+- Engine: prefer whichever the probe finds, Podman-rootless first for security (a container-root breakout lands as an unprivileged host user). Rootless bind-mount ownership uses `--userns=keep-id` (Podman) vs `--user <hostUid>:0` (Docker), so real per-engine branching lives in `buildDockerCreateArgs`. Docker Desktop takes its own uid path (Key decision 6).
+- Blast radius (the combined-posture the critic asked to surface, user-decision 5): the default convenient profile mounts an arbitrary host workspace dir RW (host-owned, mirrored path) AND host `~/.claude`/`~/.codex`/`~/.gemini`/`~/.config/gcloud`/`~/.config/opencode` RW into a NETWORK-ENABLED container. Container-run agent code can therefore read/modify those host trees and reach the network simultaneously. This is still a strict improvement over today's on-host skip-permissions execution, but the user must accept the combined posture explicitly; the sealed profile plus `network:none` is the mitigation for genuinely untrusted work.
+- Secret handling: creds arrive ONLY as bind-mounted files (default) or exec-time NAME-ONLY `--env` (codex/gemini keys), NEVER as create-time `-e` and NEVER as an image layer. Sealed-mode export is refuse-or-scrub (Section 5), closing the sealed-leak inversion.
+- CLAUDE.md "Multi-CLI prefix discipline": the exec-time name-only env is restricted to the CLI-specific keys per mode (Claude: none with OAuth mount; Codex: `OPENAI_API_KEY`/`CODEX_API_KEY`; Gemini: `GEMINI_API_KEY`/`GOOGLE_*`), never a blanket forward. `envOverrides` is rejected for docker, so the `ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES` allowlist is not widened.
+- hook-secret: bind-mounted read-only, referenced via `CODEMAN_HOOK_SECRET_FILE` (a path, non-secret); the secret bytes never enter env or the image. Both `host.docker.internal` and `host.containers.internal` are added to the host-guard allowlist so the in-container hook curl's Host header passes on either engine.
+- Host guard / instance isolation: the in-container tmux socket (`codeman-docker`) and name (`codeman-dkr-<id8>`) deliberately FAIL a container-internal Codeman's `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN`, so a nested Codeman never adopts our session (unit-asserted). The boot reaper is instance-scoped by the `codeman.instance` label so a beta never reaps prod. Any remote-daemon (`-H`/`--context`) mode is host-root-equivalent and stays strictly behind the existing auth/loopback/host-guard/Origin-CSRF stack.
+- Import containment: untrusted bundles are checksum-validated, extracted with traversal guards, and loaded into a quarantined image namespace (never overwriting the base image), then run with the same hardening.
+
+## 8. Phased implementation (branch: `feat/docker-session-mode`)
+
+Each phase is independently testable; per CLAUDE.md, end-to-end test in the real env before COM. All new docker IO paths carry `const IS_TEST_MODE = !!process.env.VITEST;` and no-op under it; the pure command builders are tested directly.
+
+- Phase 0: base image + engine probe. Author `docker/agent.Dockerfile` (OpenShift arbitrary-uid HOME) and `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs` (build or pull the base image; digest recorded). Add `checkDockerAvailable`/`checkDockerTmuxAvailable`/`containerApiUrl`/`hostGatewayAlias` (IS_TEST_MODE no-op) and `GET /api/docker/status`. Test: probe stub returns available/caps/Desktop flags under VITEST; `containerApiUrl` preserves scheme+port and swaps host per engine; status route returns the envelope.
+- Phase 1: types + storage + schemas. Add all types (Section 3), `src/docker-hosts.ts`, `DockerHostSchema`/`DockerCaseLinkSchema`. Test: `docker-hosts.test.ts` (round-trip incl. `lastClaudeSessionId`, display path, config-hash stability); `docker-exec-options.test.ts` (schema rejects `$`/backtick in image/workdir/container).
+- Phase 2: tmux-manager builders. Add `DOCKER_TMUX_SOCKET`, `dockerTmuxSessionName`, `buildDockerLaunchCommand` (resume-aware, image-check, env-prime), `buildDockerKillCommand`; wire the two ternaries + two cd-skips + Strategy 3c; harden `reconcileSessions` against docker hard-delete. Test (pure strings): adopt-proof name fails `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN`; image-check precedes create; `new-session -A` idempotent; resume flag present only when a resume id is passed; `--pull=never` present; instance label present; escaping survives `bash -c` -> `docker exec` -> `sh -lc` -> tmux WITH a host workspace path containing spaces.
+- Phase 3: session.ts + mux + recovery. Add `_docker` + `resumeSessionId` threading, in-container cliVersion probe, `resolveMuxAttachCwd`, mux-interface fields, `restoreMuxSessions` passthrough, instance-scoped reaper wiring, claudeSessionId -> `DockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId` persistence, unified flag. Test: `toState()` emits docker; a persisted docker session round-trips through mux/state; a relaunch injects the persisted resume id (mock mux); reaper only targets this instance's orphaned containers.
+- Phase 4: routes + first real e2e. case-routes CRUD + listing + drift-recreate; session-routes quick-start branch (scaffolding RUNS, local-availability guards skip, model accepted, effort/config rejected). Manual e2e on a real docker host: docker-host create -> docker-link -> quick-start; confirm the pane runs `claude` in the container, files land host-owned, a Codeman restart reattaches the SAME live agent, and a `docker stop` followed by relaunch RESUMES the conversation.
+- Phase 5: hooks connectivity + installation. host-gateway (per engine), derived `CODEMAN_API_URL`, hook-secret mount, `CODEMAN_SESSION_ID`/`CODEMAN_MUX` exec-env + tmux setenv, host-guard allowlist, and the scaffolding write into the real workspace. Manual e2e: trigger a permission prompt from inside the container and confirm it surfaces; verify hook payloads carry the right session id. If deferred, ship docker as explicitly hook-degraded and verify output-based idle detection through the docker-exec PTY.
+- Phase 6: export/import + GC + disk safety. quiesce+pause span, free-space precheck, commit+save+gzip + workspace tar + manifest + streaming download; sealed-mode refuse-or-scrub; retention/auto-prune; import with checksum validation + traversal guard + quarantined re-tag; drift-recreate; boot reaper; `runWithConversionLimit` cap; `docker rmi` in finally. Manual e2e: export, `docker load` on a second machine (or fresh case), import, confirm toolchain + workspace restored and NO creds present; attempt a sealed full-image export and confirm it is refused-or-scrubbed; attempt a `../` bundle and confirm it is rejected.
+- Phase 7: frontend. Docker tab, `linkDockerCase`, run wiring, case-picker labels, panels search, caps-advisory + scaffold-warning + effort-inert notes. Verify with Playwright (`waitUntil: 'domcontentloaded'`, 3-4s settle) that the Docker tab renders and a linked docker case appears in the picker.
+- Phase 8: docs + COM. Update CLAUDE.md (a "Docker cases" Key Pattern paragraph mirroring remote-SSH, plus the new state files, routes counts, and the resume/durability model), `docs/docker-cases.md`, then COM per the standard flow.
+
+## 9. Test plan
+
+- Unit (pure, CI-safe, mirror `test/remote-hosts.test.ts` / `test/remote-ssh-options.test.ts`):
+  - `test/docker-hosts.test.ts`: storage round-trip (incl. `lastClaudeSessionId`), `dockerDisplayPath`, `defaultDockerCommandForMode`, `toSessionDocker`, `containerApiUrl` (http/https, custom port, docker vs podman gateway), config-hash stability/drift, `buildDockerCreateArgs` flag ordering (cap-drop/no-new-privileges/memory==memory-swap/instance-label/`--pull=never` present; host/privileged/socket absent; per-engine uid vs `--userns=keep-id`).
+  - `test/docker-exec-options.test.ts`: `buildDockerLaunchCommand`/`buildDockerKillCommand` string shape and escaping through `bash -c` -> `docker exec` -> `sh -lc` -> tmux, including a workspace path with spaces; resume flag present only with a resume id; image-presence check precedes create; `dockerTmuxSessionName` fails `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN`; schema rejects `$`/backtick in image/workdir/container/name; `linkDockerCase`-shaped bodies with omitted optionals validate (no `null` on the wire).
+  - Probe no-op: `checkDockerAvailable`/`checkDockerTmuxAvailable`/`probeDockerCliVersion` return canned values under VITEST and never spawn.
+- Integration (route tests via `app.inject()`, docker no-op'd): `/api/docker-hosts` CRUD; `/api/cases/docker-link` dup-check + broadcast; `GET /api/cases` includes the docker case with `location: 'docker'`; `/api/quick-start` docker branch rejects `envOverrides`/`effort`/config but ACCEPTS `modelOverride`, runs the workspace-scaffolding path, and constructs a session with `docker` set + seeded resume id; `DELETE /api/cases/:name` docker-unlink; export refuse-or-scrub for sealed; import traversal rejection; reaper instance-scoping (label filter). Pick a unique port only if a live-server test is added (search `const PORT =`; 3150+).
+- Manual end-to-end (real docker daemon, the mandatory "always end-to-end test" gate): build the base image; link a docker case; quick-start `claude`; verify OAuth via the mounted `~/.claude`, transcript correlation (subagent/workflow watchers show the session), host-owned files, and a working permission-prompt hook; reattach after a Codeman PROCESS restart (SAME live agent); `docker stop` then relaunch and confirm conversation RESUME; reboot-equivalent (daemon restart) and confirm boot recovery recreates+resumes; change the host's memory/image and confirm the drift-recreate prompt fires; export (convenient) and confirm the tar `docker load`s with no creds; attempt a sealed full-image export and confirm refuse-or-scrub; import into a fresh case; delete the case and confirm `docker rm -f` plus instance-scoped reaper GC; confirm a docker-down state surfaces a docker-specific error and does NOT trip the generic PTY-exit breaker.
+
+## 10. Open decisions for the user
+
+1. Credential + blast-radius posture (combined). Convenient default bind-mounts host `~/.claude` etc. RW AND an arbitrary host workspace RW into a network-enabled container, so container-run agent code can read/modify those host trees and reach the network at the same time. Recommended: convenient default plus a per-host SEALED opt-in (`mountCredentials:false` + `network:none`) for untrusted work. Please confirm you accept the combined arbitrary-workspace-plus-egress-plus-host-creds posture for the default profile (it is still a net improvement over today's on-host skip-permissions execution).
+2. Base image ownership, registry, and freshness. The `codeman/agent:base` placeholder implies a Docker Hub org the project may not own. Pick the real registry/namespace (GHCR under the repo is the natural fit), decide digest pinning, and set a REBUILD CADENCE so agents are not stuck on a stale baked `claude` (the in-container version probe surfaces staleness, but something must trigger rebuilds). Choose: pull a pinned published image, build locally on first use via `scripts/build-agent-image.mjs`, or both.
+3. Container CWD strategy. Mirror the host workspace path inside the container (recommended: makes transcript projHash correlate, file features and resume capture work) vs a fixed `/workspace` (simpler mount, breaks watcher correlation). Please confirm the mirror approach.
+4. Hooks in the MVP AND workspace scaffolding. Making docker hooks fire requires WRITING `.claude/settings.local.json` (and the CLAUDE.md scaffold) into the user's REAL linked host directory, a behavioral shift from "link a dir" to "link and scaffold a dir." Choose: wire hooks + scaffolding now (Phase 5, recommended, and it also enables the model picker), or ship docker as explicitly hook-degraded (no permission prompts / hook-idle) for v1 and add later. Confirm you are OK with Codeman mutating the linked host workspace.
+5. Session-kill teardown and RESUME (reframed honestly). `docker stop` on session kill is not merely "free RAM vs instant reattach": it destroys the in-container live agent, and the conversation survives ONLY because the next launch runs `--resume` from the bind-mounted transcript. Choose: keep the container running (costs RAM, preserves the exact live in-flight agent) vs stop and rely on `--resume` (frees RAM, may lose uncommitted in-flight tool state). Case-delete always `docker rm -f`.
+6. Rootless enforcement posture. Under rootless without cgroup-v2 systemd delegation, `--memory`/`--cpus`/`--pids-limit` are SILENTLY ignored. Choose: REQUIRE delegation (refuse to link a host that cannot enforce caps) or ship-with-warning ("resource caps are advisory on your engine"). The probe reports `capsEnforced` either way.
+7. Default resume behavior. Should a re-linked or re-run docker case default to resuming its last conversation (`resumeOnStart:true`, using `DockerCase.lastClaudeSessionId`) rather than starting clean? This is the crux of making the durability story real and is the recommended default, but it changes user-visible behavior (a new session in an existing case continues the prior conversation).
+8. Export defaults and disk budget. Default export button: workspace-only (fast, small, files-only, recommended for 24h+ runs) vs full-image (reproducible env, multi-GB). Also set the retention cap (max retained exports), the auto-prune policy, and the free-space threshold below which export is refused (a full `/var/lib/docker` breaks EVERY session on the host, not just docker ones).
+9. Remote docker daemon (`-H ssh://...` / `--context`). Support in the MVP (composes with remote hosts, adds host-root trust surface) or local-daemon-only first.
+10. Podman parity depth. Full `--userns=keep-id` plus Quadlet boot-persistence, or Docker-first with Podman as best-effort and boot-persistence via Codeman's idempotent create-if-missing only. Note the podman host alias is `host.containers.internal`, already handled per engine.

+# Docker cases
+
+Run a case inside an **isolated Docker container** instead of directly on the host. Any number of Codeman sessions can share one container (it is scoped to the case, not the session), so a whole project lives in a sandbox with its own network, resource caps, and filesystem, and you can **export the container to move it to another machine**.
+
+Docker mode is a **location overlay on cases**, the direct analog of [remote SSH cases](./remote-hosts.md): where a remote case runs a local tmux pane doing `ssh host` into a durable remote tmux server, a docker case runs a local tmux pane doing `docker exec -it` into a durable **in-container** tmux server. It is not a separate `SessionMode`, so `claude` / `shell` / `opencode` / `codex` / `gemini` all work inside the container.
+
+## One-time setup: build the base image
+
+The container needs a base image with the agent toolchain (node, the CLIs, git, tmux). Build it locally once:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/build-agent-image.mjs          # builds codeman/agent:base
+# options: --engine docker|podman  --image <ref>  --no-cache
+```
+
+The image is **secret-free**: credentials are delivered at runtime (bind mounts or `docker exec --env`), never baked in, so exports never leak them.
+
+## Quickest path: one-click "Run in Docker"
+
+On the **New case → Create New** tab there's a **🐳 Run in an isolated Docker container** checkbox. Checking it alone is enough: Codeman creates the case folder in `~/codeman-cases/<name>`, spins up a hardened container with sensible defaults (auto-provisioning a shared `default` host), and starts the session inside it. No host/image/network fields to fill in.
+
+Click the checkbox's **Container settings** to optionally tweak the predefined defaults, including a **Template** picker:
+
+| Template | Memory | CPUs | GPUs |
+|----------|--------|------|------|
+| Small | 2 GB | 1 | none |
+| Medium (default) | 4 GB | 2 | none |
+| Large | 8 GB | 4 | none |
+| GPU | 8 GB | 4 | all (needs the NVIDIA container toolkit) |
+
+**Disk is elastic** — the container's storage grows automatically as data flows in; there is no fixed cap (bounded only by host disk). Any tweaked setting creates a dedicated per-case host so it never changes the shared `default`.
+
+## Create a docker case (full control)
+
+App → **New case → Docker** tab:
+
+- **Case Name** / **Workspace Path**: the workspace is a real HOST directory bind-mounted into the container at the same path. Codeman scaffolds `CLAUDE.md` + `.claude/settings.local.json` (hooks) into it, and file previews / attachments work on the real bytes.
+- **Host ID**: a reusable docker host profile (image, network, resources). Reuse the same ID across cases to share settings.
+- **Network**: `bridge` (internet on, default), `none` (fully isolated), or a `custom` bridge.
+- **Advanced**: memory / CPU caps, **Mount host credentials** (on = your existing `~/.claude` login just works; off = a sealed sandbox you log into inside the container), **Resume last conversation on relaunch**.
+
+Then run it like any case (Run Claude / Run Shell / …). The first launch creates the container (`codeman-case-<name>`); subsequent sessions attach to the same one.
+
+Equivalent API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/docker-hosts -d '{"id":"local","label":"Local","image":"codeman/agent:base"}'
+curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/cases/docker-link -d '{"name":"sandbox","hostId":"local","hostWorkspacePath":"/home/you/projects/sandbox"}'
+curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/quick-start -d '{"caseName":"sandbox","mode":"claude"}'
+```
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+- **Reconnect after a Codeman restart** lands back in the same live agent (the in-container tmux survives).
+- **Container stop / host reboot** restarts the container and **resumes** the last conversation from the bind-mounted transcript. Claude sessions launch with a pinned conversation id (`--session-id <sessionId>`, with a `--resume` fallback when the transcript already exists), and the case remembers its last conversation (`lastClaudeSessionId`), so a relaunch after the container was stopped, rebooted, or recreated continues where it left off.
+- **Killing one session** only kills that session's in-container tmux session; the shared container stays up for sibling sessions.
+- **Editing the docker host config** (image, memory, network, ...) is detected on the next launch: the desired config hash is compared against the container's `codeman.confighash` label, and a mismatch refuses the launch with a "config changed, recreate?" confirm. Confirming calls `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/recreate` (refused while sessions of the case are live), which removes the container so the next launch recreates it with the new config; the workspace and the conversation survive.
+- **Deleting the case** `docker rm -f`s the container (the bind-mounted workspace on the host survives). An instance-scoped boot reaper removes containers whose case is gone.
+
+## Isolation & security
+
+Every container runs hardened: `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, non-root (`--user <hostUid>:0` so workspace files stay host-owned), `--pids-limit`, `--memory` == `--memory-swap`, `--init`. Never `--privileged`, never the docker socket. The default **convenient** profile bind-mounts host credential dirs read-write so the common login just works (creds stay on the host, never captured by `docker commit`); the **sealed** profile (`mountCredentials:false` + `network:none`) is the opt-in for genuinely untrusted work.
+
+Rootless engines without cgroup-v2 systemd delegation cannot enforce resource caps; linking such a host warns that caps are advisory.
+
+## Export / Import (move to another machine)
+
+**Export** (from the Docker tab, or `POST /api/docker-cases/:name/export`): choose
+
+- **Full image + workspace**: `docker commit` the container to an image, `docker save` it, tar the workspace, and a manifest, all into one portable `<case>-<ts>.codeman-container.tgz` (the whole toolchain, installed packages, and files). Runs in the background; you are notified when the bundle is ready.
+- **Workspace only**: just the project files (fast, small).
+
+The container is paused across the capture so the image and workspace are consistent; a full `/var/lib/docker` is guarded against with a free-space precheck; the intermediate image is always cleaned up.
+
+**Import** (`POST /api/docker-cases/import`, or the Manage tab): copy the `.tgz` onto the new machine's `~/.codeman/docker-exports/`, then import it into a new case. The manifest and per-member SHA-256 checksums are validated, the workspace tar is extracted with a path-traversal guard, and the image is `docker load`ed and **re-tagged into a quarantined namespace** (`codeman/imported-<case>:<ts>`) so it never overwrites a local tag. The destination supplies its own credentials, so nothing secret crosses machines.
+
+`GET /api/docker-exports` lists bundles; `GET /api/docker-exports/:filename` downloads one; `DELETE` removes one.
+
+## Hooks require the server to be reachable from the container
+
+In-container hooks (permission events, hook-based idle/stop/task notifications) POST to `CODEMAN_API_URL`, which is derived as `https://host.docker.internal:<port>` (`host.docker.internal` → the docker bridge gateway, e.g. `172.17.0.1`, via `--add-host …:host-gateway`). For that callback to succeed, the Codeman server must be **listening on an interface the container can reach**.
+
+- If Codeman binds **loopback-only** (`127.0.0.1`, the default and the production systemd config), a container reaching `172.17.0.1:<port>` cannot connect, so by default **in-container hooks do not fire**. The session still works fully: idle/stop detection falls back to **output-based** detection through the `docker exec` PTY (which always works), and claude runs with `--dangerously-skip-permissions` so there are no permission prompts to forward anyway.
+- **To enable in-container hooks on a loopback-only server, set `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS=1`** (env). Codeman then starts a SECOND listener bound to the docker bridge gateway (`172.17.0.1`, auto-detected; override with `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOST`) that serves **only the hook endpoints** (`/api/hook-event`, `/api/status-telemetry`) and delegates them into the same secret-gated pipeline. The bridge is host-internal (containers + host, not the LAN), and every other path returns `403`, so this does not widen your network exposure. Add `Environment=CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS=1` to the systemd unit and restart.
+- Alternatively, bind `0.0.0.0` **with `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` set** (exposes on the LAN too).
+
+The host-gateway mapping, `CODEMAN_API_URL` derivation, host-guard allowlist, and hook-secret mount are all wired correctly; `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS` closes the last gap for loopback-only servers.
+
+## Notes & limits
+
+- Requires Docker (or Podman) with a reachable daemon; tmux must be present in the base image (a hard prerequisite, probed at link time).
+- Per-session `envOverrides` / `effort` / per-CLI config are rejected for docker cases (they do not cross into the container); configure the container via the docker host's per-mode command override instead.
+- macOS Docker Desktop takes a dedicated uid path (the baked image uid; memory caps are subject to the VM ceiling).

+- **Phase 1** (user store + mode plumbing + CLI): `src/user-store.ts` (scrypt, atomic 0600 writes, last-admin invariants, serialized read-modify-write), `src/config/multiuser.ts`, `codeman users add|passwd|list|rm`, `--multiuser` flag, bootstrap-on-first-boot. Tests: `test/user-store.test.ts`.
+- **Phase 2** (multi-user auth): parallel async auth branch (`src/web/middleware/auth.ts`), `req.authUser`, per-username rate bucket, `mustChangePassword` lockbox, `GET /api/me` + `POST /api/me/password`, QR identity-bound minting, network-bind + tunnel exemptions, new error codes. Tests: `test/multiuser-auth.test.ts`.
+- **Phase 3** (ownership threading): `Session.owner` at every create path + recovery mirror; `findSessionOrFail` owner check + list filtering; §6.3 permission policy (`resolveClaudeModeForUser` at all spawn sites incl. one-shots via `buildPromptArgs`; shell/launchCommand grant); per-user case spaces (`resolveCasesDir`) + owner-scoped case list + admin-only host CRUD; `workingDir` confinement; `sessionCapacityState` per-user cap. Tests: `test/ownership-scoping.test.ts`.
+- **Phase 4** (event fan-out): WS owner gate; SSE per-client identity + `broadcast`/terminal-batch routing (`deriveSseHint`, fail-closed); `getLightState` per-identity filtering; file-route preview/thumbnail/history + `GET /api/search` scoping.
+- **Phase 5** (admin API + frontend): `src/web/routes/admin-routes.ts` (user CRUD, one-time passwords, last-admin guards, session revoke/kill) + `src/web/admin-audit.ts`; `public/admin-ui.js` (identity boot, change-password modal + interceptor, admin Users tab). Tests: `test/admin-routes.test.ts`, `test/admin-ui.test.ts`.
+
+Deferred follow-ups (documented, non-blocking): away-digest + subagent/workflow REST-list scoping, push-subscription identity/routing, per-user screenshot subdirs, `linked-cases.json` v2 owner field, `ScheduledRun.owner`, plan-orchestrator internal one-shot mode resolution, and a Playwright browser pass. Phase 6 (login form replacing Basic) remains out of scope.
+
+## 1. Summary
+
+Today Codeman is strictly single-user: one optional credential pair (`CODEMAN_USERNAME`/`CODEMAN_PASSWORD`), one shared `~/codeman-cases` folder, one global session list, and a global SSE/WS fan-out. This plan adds an opt-in **multi-user mode**:
+
+- **Off by default.** Without the flag, behavior stays byte-identical to today (same auth path, same paths, same payloads). All new code is gated behind `isMultiUserMode()`.
+- **`codeman web --multiuser`** (or `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`) enables named users with individually hashed passwords stored in `~/.codeman/users.json`.
+- **Each user gets their own space**: `~/codeman-users/<username>/cases/<case>` replaces the shared `~/codeman-cases` for that user. Sessions, cases, attachments, search, digests, and SSE events are scoped to their owner.
+- **Admin panel** (App Settings, admin-only "Users" tab): create/delete users, change/reset passwords, enable/disable accounts, delete a user's space, see per-user live sessions and disk usage, force logout.
+
+## 2. Threat Model (read first, be honest about this)
+
+Multi-user mode is **workspace separation for a trusted team, NOT security isolation between mutually distrusting users**:
+
+- Every session still runs as the **same OS account** with `claude --dangerously-skip-permissions`. Any user can ask their agent to `cat /home/<host>/codeman-users/otheruser/...`. The web layer enforces scoping; the agent layer cannot.
+- **Shell sessions and custom launch commands are the bluntest holes**: `SessionMode = 'shell'` hands out a raw shell as the host account, and a cron job's `launchCommand` runs an arbitrary command; no Claude permission classifier is involved in either. These must be gated behind the same grant as bypass (section 6.3), otherwise the `auto`-mode mitigation below is theater.
+- All sessions share one tmux socket (`-L codeman`), one `~/.claude` (transcripts, credentials, plan usage), one Claude subscription.
+- Mitigation for stronger isolation: pair a user's cases with **Docker cases** (container per case, `docs/docker-cases.md`), or run separate Codeman instances per user (`CODEMAN_INSTANCE`, separate OS accounts). True per-user OS isolation is explicitly **out of scope** for this feature.
+- Partial mitigation at the agent layer: non-admin users default to Claude's `auto` permission mode (section 6.3), whose safety classifier blocks destructive actions and credential exfiltration. That reduces, but does not eliminate, cross-user snooping; the `canBypassPermissions` grant reopens it and should be given deliberately.
+
+This must be stated loudly in `docs/security-architecture.md`, the README section, and the admin panel UI ("Users share the host account; this separates workspaces, it does not sandbox users from each other").
+
+Also note the flip side: multi-user mode strictly _improves_ today's network posture, because it removes the single shared password and gives every person their own revocable credential.
+
+## 3. Activation and Mode Rules
+
+| Condition                                                     | Behavior                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
+| ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| No flag (default)                                             | Exactly today's behavior. `users.json` is never read. Single-user auth via `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` if set.                                                                                                                                                                      |
+| `--multiuser` / `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`, `users.json` has users | Multi-user auth active. `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` is ignored for login (warn if set).                                                                                                                                                                                             |
+| `--multiuser`, no `users.json` (first boot)                   | Bootstrap: if `CODEMAN_USERNAME`/`CODEMAN_PASSWORD` are set, create that user as the initial admin and continue. Otherwise refuse to start with instructions to run `codeman users add <name> --admin`. Never start multi-user with zero users (there would be no way in). |
+| `--multiuser` on a non-loopback bind                          | Allowed without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`: `server.ts start()` treats "multi-user with >= 1 enabled user" as satisfying the auth requirement in the loud-warning check (wire into the existing `isLoopbackBindHost()` branch).                                                    |
+| Flag later removed                                            | Single-user mode again. Sessions/state that carry `owner` fields keep working (owner is simply ignored); user spaces remain on disk untouched.                                                                                                                             |
+
+Plumbing: flag in `src/cli.ts` (web command), env in a new `src/config/multiuser.ts` exporting `isMultiUserMode()`. Per-instance like everything else: a beta instance (`CODEMAN_INSTANCE=beta`) has its own `users.json` via `dataPath()`.
+
+## 4. Data Model and Disk Layout
+
+### 4.1 `~/.codeman/users.json` (via `dataPath('users.json')`, mode 0600, atomic write: tmp + rename)
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "version": 1,
+  "users": [
+    {
+      "username": "alice", // canonical lowercase slug
+      "role": "admin", // "admin" | "user"
+      "password": {
+        "algo": "scrypt", // node:crypto scrypt, no new deps
+        "N": 16384,
+        "r": 8,
+        "p": 1,
+        "salt": "<hex 32B>",
+        "hash": "<hex 64B>",
+      },
+      "disabled": false,
+      "mustChangePassword": false, // set by admin reset; gates all API access until changed
+      "canBypassPermissions": false, // permission-mode grant, see section 6.3; false for new users
+      "createdAt": 1752900000000,
+      "lastLoginAt": 1752900000000,
+    },
+  ],
+}
+```
+
+- **Username rules**: `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9_-]{1,31}$` (it becomes a folder name), stored lowercase, unique case-insensitively. Reserve `admin`? No: any name can be admin; role is a field, not a name.
+- **Hashing**: `scrypt` from `node:crypto` with per-user salt, compared via `timingSafeEqual`. Params stored per record so they can be raised later; verify tolerates old params and rehashes on next successful login.
+- New module `src/user-store.ts` (mirrors the `remote-hosts.ts` / `docker-hosts.ts` pattern): `readUsers()`, `writeUsers()`, `verifyPassword()`, `createUser()`, `setPassword()`, `deleteUser()`, plus pure helpers (`isValidUsername`, `hashPassword`) that are unit-testable without IO. In-process cache with short TTL like `readSettings`, invalidated on every write; the short TTL also covers the CLI (section 10) editing `users.json` while the server runs (cross-process changes picked up within the TTL).
+
+### 4.2 User spaces
+
+```
+~/codeman-users/
+  alice/
+    cases/
+      my-project/          <- same layout as today's ~/codeman-cases/<case>
+  bob/
+    cases/
+```
+
+- New helper in `route-helpers.ts`:
+  `resolveCasesDir(user?: AuthUser): string`
+  single-user mode: returns `CASES_DIR` (today's `~/codeman-cases`); multi-user: returns `join(USER_SPACES_DIR, user.username, 'cases')`, creating it lazily on first use.
+- `CASES_DIR` stays exported for single-user code paths, but every route usage (see 6) switches to the resolver.
+- The **user folder** (`~/codeman-users/<username>/`) is the deletion unit for "delete user + space" and leaves room for future per-user extras (uploads, exports) beside `cases/`.
+- Legacy `~/codeman-cases` in multi-user mode: surfaces to admins only, as a read-only "Unassigned (legacy)" group in the case list, with an admin action `POST /api/admin/cases/assign { case, username }` that `fs.rename`s the folder into a user's space (same-filesystem move, cheap). No automatic migration.
+
+## 5. Auth Pipeline Changes (`src/web/middleware/auth.ts`)
+
+Keep the existing single-user branch untouched. Add a parallel multi-user branch selected once at registration time:
+
+1. **Credential check**: Basic header parsed into `username:password`, verified against the user store (scrypt + `timingSafeEqual`). Disabled users fail closed.
+2. **Cookie sessions**: same `codeman_session` cookie and `StaleExpirationMap`, but `AuthSessionRecord` gains `username` and `role`. All existing TTL/sliding/eviction logic reused. Eviction cap becomes per-user aware (evict oldest _of that user_ first) so one user cannot flush everyone's sessions by logging in 100 times.
+3. **Request identity**: decorate `req.authUser = { username, role }` (Fastify decorateRequest). In single-user mode `req.authUser` is `{ username: 'admin', role: 'admin' }` when auth is on, and a synthetic admin when auth is off, so downstream code has ONE code path.
+4. **Rate limiting**: keep the per-IP bucket; add a per-username failure bucket (same `StaleExpirationMap` pattern) so a botnet cannot brute-force one account across IPs, and one flaky user behind a NAT cannot lock out the rest.
+5. **`mustChangePassword` gate**: when set, every API request except `GET /api/me`, `POST /api/me/password`, and static assets returns 403 with `errorCode: 'PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED'`; the frontend intercepts that code and shows the change-password modal.
+6. **Password change vs Basic-auth caching**: browsers cache Basic credentials. After a password change we revoke all of that user's cookie sessions; the next request falls to Basic with stale creds, gets 401, and the browser re-prompts. Acceptable for v1; a proper login form is Phase 6 (see 15).
+7. **Unchanged**: hook-secret loopback bypass (hooks authenticate the _instance_, not a user; the event maps to a session which has an owner), host guard, Origin/CSRF guard, security headers.
+8. **WS upgrade identity** (`ws-routes.ts`): the global auth `onRequest` hook does run on the upgrade request (`@fastify/websocket` v11 runs hooks before the handshake; browsers send the session cookie), but the route handler itself only checks Host/Origin and never learns WHO authenticated. Multi-user: the handler reads the decorated `req.authUser` and closes 4003 unless owner or admin (section 6.4; identity plumbing lands in Phase 2, the owner check in Phase 4 once sessions have owners). Add a regression test that an upgrade with no credentials is rejected while auth is active: the handler-level Host/Origin gate alone must never be mistaken for auth.
+9. **QR auth** (`/q/:code` redemption in `system-routes.ts`, minting in `tunnel-manager.ts`): today there is ONE global token, auto-rotated every 60s with a 90s grace window. A globally-rotating token cannot carry an identity (every logged-in user sees the same code), so multi-user mode replaces rotation with **on-demand minting**: an authenticated `POST /api/tunnel/qr` mints a single-use, short-TTL token bound to `req.authUser.username` (field on `QrTokenRecord`); redemption creates a cookie session for that user. Existing rate-limit buckets (`qrAuthFailures`, global `QR_RATE_LIMIT_MAX`) apply unchanged. Single-user mode keeps the rotating token.
+
+New error codes in `src/types/api.ts`: `FORBIDDEN`, `PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED`, `USER_EXISTS`, `USER_NOT_FOUND`, `LAST_ADMIN`.
+
+Role guard helper in `route-helpers.ts`: `requireAdmin(req, reply): boolean` used as the first line of every admin handler (403 `FORBIDDEN`), plus `requireOwnerOrAdmin(req, session)`.
+
+## 6. Ownership Threading (the big refactor)
+
+### 6.1 Sessions
+
+- `Session` gains `owner?: string` (constructor option), persisted in `SessionState.owner`, included in `toState()`, round-tripped through recovery (`mux-sessions.json` entries carry it, `restoreMuxSessions` passes it back, exactly like `remote`/`docker`).
+- Every session-creating path stamps the owner from `req.authUser`. Verified inventory of `new Session(...)` call sites: `POST /api/sessions` (session-routes.ts:444), `POST /api/quick-start` (:1956), `POST /api/run` one-shot (:1652), Ralph start (ralph-routes.ts:327), **cron** (cron-service.ts:352; `CronJob` gains `owner`, stamped at job create, launched as the job's owner), legacy `ScheduledRun` loop (server.ts:1603), plan generation + plan-orchestrator agents (plan-routes.ts:128, plan-orchestrator.ts:422/578; owner = requesting user), and recovery (server.ts:2225, next bullet). Two non-paths, also verified: **respawn never constructs a new Session** (it re-spawns the PTY on the same object, so `owner` survives automatically; no inheritance logic needed), and **orchestrator-loop creates no sessions** (it schedules work onto existing idle sessions via the task queue; its scoping requirement is different: it must only pick idle sessions owned by the goal's creator).
+- Recovery: `owner` must ALSO be mirrored on `MuxSession` (mux-sessions.json) and read back mux-first like `remote`/`docker` (`muxSession.owner ?? savedState?.owner`, the server.ts:2246-2250 pattern), or a reboot erases ownership on the next persist.
+- Every session-reading/mutating route filters: non-admin users only see and act on `session.owner === req.authUser.username`. Centralize in `findSessionOrFail` (route-helpers.ts:87; the owner check there covers the 6 route files that use it: system/session/respawn/ralph/file/plan-routes) and in the list endpoints (`GET /api/sessions`, `GET /api/sessions/unified`, `GET /api/status`). The Phase 3 audit must grep for BOTH `sessionManager.getSession` AND direct map access (`ctx.sessions.get(` / `.has(`): ws-routes and hook-event-routes reach sessions that way and bypass `findSessionOrFail`.
+- Admins see everything; every session row carries `owner` so the UI can badge it.
+
+### 6.2 Cases
+
+- All `CASES_DIR` call sites switch to `resolveCasesDir(req.authUser)`: `case-routes.ts` (list/create/delete/CLAUDE.md scaffolding, name-collision checks, docker quickcreate), `session-routes.ts` (quick-start case resolution, the workingDir-inside-cases env-strip check), `ralph-routes.ts` (case path resolution), and `plan-routes.ts:231` (easy to miss). Case-name-to-path resolution is currently DUPLICATED (`resolveCasePath` in case-routes.ts:82 and an inline copy in quick-start, session-routes.ts:1846-1863); consolidate into one owner-aware resolver as part of this refactor instead of patching both copies.
+- Registries that map case names to metadata become owner-scoped. `remote-cases.json`/`docker-cases.json` are arrays of objects, so entries simply gain `owner?: string` (absent = legacy: admin-only). `linked-cases.json` is a flat `Record<caseName, path>` with no room for a field: it needs a v2 shape (`{ "version": 2, "cases": { "<name>": { "path": "...", "owner": "..." } } }`) with read-time migration of the v1 form; it is read in two places (case-routes AND inline in quick-start), both must move to the new reader. Case names only need to be unique per user.
+- **Remote hosts and Docker hosts are machine-level resources**: CRUD on `/api/docker-hosts` and remote-host endpoints becomes admin-only in multi-user mode; regular users can _use_ hosts on their own cases but not define them. (Docker containers exec as the host account; letting any user define arbitrary `docker run` args is admin-equivalent.)
+- Case deletion, exports (`docker-exports/`), and imports check ownership; export filenames get an owner prefix to avoid collisions (fits the existing `^[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+\.tgz$` download guard).
+- **Workspace confinement for non-admins (the linchpin, do not skip)**: today `POST /api/sessions` accepts ANY host directory as `workingDir` (the only check is `statSync().isDirectory()`, session-routes.ts:305-318), and file-routes/attachments confine reads to `session.workingDir`. Without a new rule the whole scoping story is circular: a user points a session at `~/codeman-users/bob` (or `/home`) and the web layer itself serves that subtree, no agent needed. Rule: in multi-user mode a non-admin's `workingDir` must realpath-resolve inside their own space, enforced at `POST /api/sessions`, `POST /api/run`, cron job create AND fire time (the dir can change owners between the two), and Ralph auto-configure. Admins are unrestricted. This one rule is what makes the section 6.4 file-route line ("own space or own sessions' workingDirs") meaningful.
+
+### 6.3 Per-user Claude permission-mode policy
+
+Codeman now ships a global **Startup Mode** picker (App Settings, Claude CLI tab: `settings.claudeMode`, values `dangerously-skip-permissions` (default) | `auto` | `normal` | `allowedTools`; `auto` emits `--permission-mode auto`, Anthropic's classifier-guarded low-prompt mode). Multi-user mode layers a per-user policy on top of it:
+
+- **Default for regular users: `auto` only.** A non-admin's Claude sessions are forced to `--permission-mode auto` regardless of the global `claudeMode` setting. `normal` and `allowedTools` are also permitted (they are strictly more restrictive than auto), but `dangerously-skip-permissions` is NOT.
+- **Bypass is an explicit admin grant**: `canBypassPermissions: true` on the user record (default `false`, section 4.1). Only with that grant does the global skip-permissions default (or a future per-user choice) apply to their sessions.
+- **Admins** are unrestricted; the global setting applies to them as-is.
+- **Single enforcement point**: a pure `resolveClaudeModeForUser(globalMode, user)` in `user-store.ts`, applied server-side at option-resolution time, BEFORE the Session constructor, so both downstream arg builders inherit it for free (`buildPermissionArgs` in session-cli-builder.ts for the direct-PTY path AND `buildClaudePermissionFlags` in tmux-manager.ts for tmux panes; there are two builders, not one). Call sites where `getClaudeModeConfig()` feeds a spawn: session-routes.ts:452/1964, ralph-routes.ts:334, cron-service.ts:360, and recovery (server.ts:2214/2233). Recovery re-reads the GLOBAL setting on reboot, so the resolver must run there with the RECOVERED owner, or a restart silently un-downgrades every restored session. Never resolved in the frontend, so it cannot be bypassed via payload.
+- **Downgrade, don't error**: a non-granted user whose effective mode would be bypass gets `auto` silently (logged + surfaced as a badge on the session), so shared presets keep working.
+- **Other CLIs' bypass equivalents** follow the same grant: Codex `--dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox` (`codexDangerouslyBypassApprovals`) and Gemini `--approval-mode yolo` are refused for non-granted users (Gemini falls back to `auto_edit`, Codex to its default sandbox). Whether this stays one grant or splits per-CLI is an open question (section 15).
+- **Shell mode and custom launch commands follow the grant too**: `mode: 'shell'` sessions and cron `launchCommand` are arbitrary command execution as the host account, strictly stronger than any bypass flag, and no permission-mode downgrade applies to them. Non-granted users get 403 `FORBIDDEN` on shell session/quick-start creation and on cron jobs carrying `launchCommand` (checked at create AND at fire time). Folding them under `canBypassPermissions` keeps the model one-bit; section 15 asks whether it should split.
+- **Admin UI**: a "Can skip permissions" toggle per user in the Users tab (PATCH field, section 8), with a warning echoing the section 2 threat model.
+- Revoking the grant takes effect on the user's NEXT session start; live sessions are listed so the admin can restart them.

+## 7. SSE Event Filtering
+
+`/api/events` currently broadcasts everything to everyone. Ground truth first (verified): `broadcast()` lives in `SseStreamManager` (`sse-stream-manager.ts`), not server.ts; clients are keyed by the raw Fastify reply (`sseClients: Map<FastifyReply, Set<string> | null>`, plus `sseClientsById` for live filter updates); the existing `?sessions=` filter is a bandwidth optimization applied ONLY to `session:terminal` batches in `flushSessionTerminalBatch()`, while `broadcast()` itself loops ALL clients unconditionally. The single-client delivery primitive already exists (`sendSSE`, used for the per-connection init snapshot). Plan:
+
+- At connection time, resolve `req.authUser` and store `{ username, role }` with the client. Concretely: extend `addClient(reply, sessionFilter, isRemote, clientId)` to take the identity and change the `sseClients` map value to `{ filter, identity }` (or add a parallel `Map<reply, identity>`); there is no per-client record object today to hang it on.
+- `broadcast()` gains an optional routing hint: `broadcast(event, data, { sessionId?, adminOnly?, username? })`. Resolution order per client: admin sees all; `username` targets one user; `sessionId` resolves owner via SessionManager; `adminOnly` for machine-level events (docker image builds, tunnel, self-update); no hint = broadcast to all (connection status etc.).
+- **Enforce the identity check in BOTH `broadcast()` AND `flushSessionTerminalBatch()`**: the terminal batch path does not go through `broadcast()`, and it carries the highest-value payload (raw terminal bytes).
+- Sweep of the ~120 backend event constants in `sse-events.ts`: mechanically, everything `session:*`, `ralph:*`, `respawn:*`, `subagent:*`, `workflow:*`, `attachment:*`, `cron:*` (job owner) carries or can resolve a sessionId/owner; `docker:*`, `system:*`, tunnel and update events are adminOnly; a short tail needs case-by-case decisions during implementation.
+- The existing `?sessions=` filter and `/api/events/subscribe` compose with (never override) the ownership filter: the subscription filter can only narrow within what the identity allows.

+**Audit log**: append-only `~/.codeman/admin-audit.jsonl` (same idiom as `session-lifecycle.jsonl`): timestamp, acting admin, action, target, request IP. User management without an audit trail is not acceptable even for a homelab tool.
+
+SSE additions (both `sse-events.ts` and `constants.js`): `admin:usersChanged` (adminOnly; the panel re-fetches) and `auth:passwordChangeRequired` (targeted to the user).
+
+## 9. Frontend
+
+- **`GET /api/me` on boot** (app.js init): stores `window.__codemanUser`; everything below keys off it. Single-user mode returns the synthetic admin, so the UI needs no mode awareness beyond "am I admin".
+- **Admin panel**: new tab "Users" in the App Settings modal (settings-ui.js), rendered only for admins in multi-user mode. Table of users with actions (create, reset password showing the one-time password in a copy-to-clipboard reveal, enable/disable, role toggle, logout, delete with a typed-username confirm for the delete-space variant). No new header button (mobile header policy test stays green; the settings modal is already reachable everywhere).
+- **Change-password modal**: shown on `PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED` (fetch interceptor in api-client.js) and reachable from settings for self-service.
+- **Owner badges**: admin's session tabs and the session palette/manager show `owner` on foreign sessions; regular users see no change.
+- New module `admin-ui.js` if the settings-ui.js addition gets large (load order after settings-ui, before session-ui), else keep inside settings-ui.js. Follow the `@fileoverview` + `@loadorder` convention either way.
+
+## 10. CLI Additions (`src/cli.ts`)
+
+Headless bootstrap and recovery must not require the web UI:
+
+```
+codeman users add <name> [--admin]     # prompts for password (hidden input), or --password-stdin
+codeman users passwd <name>            # reset password
+codeman users list
+codeman users rm <name> [--delete-space]
+```
+
+These operate directly on `users.json` via `user-store.ts` (no server needed), honoring `CODEMAN_INSTANCE`. This is also the answer to "locked out: last admin forgot password".
+
+## 11. Limits and Config
+
+- New `src/config/multiuser.ts`: `isMultiUserMode()`, `USER_SPACES_DIR` (`~/codeman-users`, overridable via `CODEMAN_USER_SPACES_DIR` for tests), `MAX_USERS` (default 25), per-user session cap (default: global cap / 2, env `CODEMAN_MAX_SESSIONS_PER_USER`).
+- Cap enforcement is currently COPY-PASTED: the global `MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS` (50, `config/map-limits.ts:25`) check appears at 6 independent sites (session-routes.ts:298/1622/1683, ralph-routes.ts:275, cron-service.ts:340, server.ts:1595). Do not add a 7th copy per site: extract one `assertSessionCapacity(ctx, owner?)` helper doing the global + per-user checks and use it everywhere, or the per-user cap WILL miss a path.
+- Global limits (50 sessions, SSE clients 100, terminal buffers) are unchanged and shared; the per-user session cap is the fairness lever.
+
+## 12. Compatibility Matrix
+
+| Concern            | Guarantee                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
+| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Default (no flag)  | No behavior change. No new file reads on the hot path. All new fields optional in state                                                                                                                     |
+| State round-trip   | `SessionState.owner`, `MuxSession.owner`, `CronJob.owner`, registry `owner` fields are optional; old state loads clean; new state loaded by an old build ignores unknown fields (existing tolerant parsing) |
+| Instance isolation | `users.json`, audit log, screenshots subdirs all via `dataPath()`; user spaces dir is shared across instances like `~/codeman-cases` is today (documented)                                                  |
+| API versioning     | HTTP API is internal per `docs/versioning-policy.md`; still, all changes are additive. Ship as a **minor** version                                                                                          |
+| Hooks              | Unchanged (instance-level hook secret; owner resolved from the session)                                                                                                                                     |
+
+## 13. Implementation Phases
+
+Each phase is independently shippable behind the flag and ends with its tests green.
+
+**Phase 1: user store + mode plumbing** (no behavior change yet)
+`src/user-store.ts`, `src/config/multiuser.ts`, CLI `users` subcommands, bootstrap-on-first-boot logic, `users.json` schema + atomic writes.
+Tests: `test/user-store.test.ts` (hashing, verify, params upgrade, username validation, atomic write, last-admin invariants; pure, no server).
+
+**Phase 2: multi-user auth**
+Auth middleware branch, `req.authUser` decoration, cookie records with username/role, per-username rate bucket, `mustChangePassword` gate, WS upgrade identity plumbing + unauthenticated-upgrade regression test (section 5.8), QR on-demand minting + identity binding (section 5.9), `GET /api/me`, `POST /api/me/password`, error codes, network-bind check integration.
+Tests: `test/multiuser-auth.test.ts` (live server, unique port 3170+; wrong password, disabled user, cookie carries identity, per-user rate limit isolation, mustChangePassword lockbox, QR redemption identity). Reuse the `delete process.env.CODEMAN_PASSWORD` idiom from `test/setup.ts`.
+
+**Phase 3: ownership threading**
+Session `owner` + persistence + `MuxSession` mirror + recovery; `resolveCasesDir()` refactor across case/session/ralph/plan routes (consolidating the duplicated case-path resolution); registry owner fields incl. the linked-cases v2 shape; `findSessionOrFail` owner check + the direct-`sessions.get` audit; list filtering; owner stamping across ALL create paths from 6.1; **non-admin workingDir confinement** (6.2); permission-mode/shell/launchCommand policy (6.3); `assertSessionCapacity` helper + per-user cap.
+Tests: `test/routes/ownership-scoping.test.ts` (inject-based: user A cannot read/kill/input user B's session, case lists are disjoint, admin sees both), extend `test/cron-service.test.ts` for owner stamping, recovery round-trip in the existing mux-recovery tests.
+
+**Phase 4: event fan-out + remaining surfaces**
+SSE routing hints + client identity (enforced in BOTH `broadcast()` and the terminal-batch flush), WS owner gate (identity landed in Phase 2), search/digest/subagent/workflow scoping, push subscription identity + owner routing, screenshot subdirs, file-route scoping, `getLightState` filtering + per-identity caching, admin-only system ops.
+Tests: `test/sse-ownership.test.ts` (two SSE clients, event for A's session reaches only A + admin), WS upgrade rejection test, search/digest scoping tests.
+
+**Phase 5: admin API + frontend**
+`admin-routes.ts` + `AdminPort` + schemas + audit log + `admin:usersChanged`; settings-ui Users tab, change-password modal, owner badges, api-client interceptor.
+Tests: `test/routes/admin-routes.test.ts` (CRUD, last-admin 409, one-time password flow, delete-space guard rails incl. symlink refusal), frontend vm-sandbox test following `test/run-mode-ui.test.ts` pattern, Playwright pass per the always-end-to-end rule before calling it done.
+
+**Phase 6 (optional, later): login page**
+Replace Basic with a form + `POST /api/login` in multi-user mode only (fixes browser credential caching UX, enables logout button). Explicitly deferred; Basic works for v1.
+
+**Docs**: update `docs/security-architecture.md` (new section: multi-user model + threat model from section 2), `README.md` (short opt-in section), `CLAUDE.md` (Key Patterns entry + State Files + route/SSE counts), this file gets a "shipped" status stamp per phase.
+
+## 14. Key Risks / Decisions Made
+
+1. **Not a security boundary at the agent layer** (section 2). Decided: ship with loud documentation; Docker cases are the isolation story.
+2. **`findSessionOrFail` as the single enforcement point** for ~30 session routes: any route that fetches sessions another way must be audited in Phase 3 (grep for `sessionManager.getSession` outside route-helpers).
+3. **SSE sweep is the riskiest surface**: a missed event leaks metadata (not terminal content, which is session-scoped, but names/paths). Phase 4 includes a checklist pass over all ~138 events with the default flipped to "owner-scoped unless explicitly global": fail closed.
+4. **Basic-auth password-change UX** is mediocre (browser re-prompt). Accepted for v1; Phase 6 fixes it properly.
+5. **Legacy case migration** is manual (admin assigns). No silent moves of user data.
+6. **Case-name uniqueness becomes per-user**; tmux session names already include the session id so no collision, but the `w<n>-<case>` tab naming and lifecycle-log rows should include the owner for disambiguation in admin views.
+7. **`workingDir` confinement (6.2) is the single most load-bearing rule**: every file-serving and agent-spawning surface downstream trusts `session.workingDir`. Review and test it as carefully as the auth branch (foreign-space path, symlink into a foreign space, `..` traversal, cron fire-time re-check).
+8. **The WS handler never sees identity today** (auth happens only in the global hook): the 5.8 wiring is new code on a security-sensitive path; cover unauthenticated, foreign-user, and admin upgrades with tests.
+
+## 15. Open Questions (answer before Phase 3)
+
+1. Should admins' own cases live in `~/codeman-users/<admin>/cases` (symmetric, proposed) or keep using legacy `~/codeman-cases`? Proposed: symmetric; legacy dir is a migration source only.
+2. Per-user settings (respawn presets, notification prefs): global-only in v1. Worth a `users/<name>/settings.json` overlay later?
+3. Should regular users be allowed to create Docker cases on admin-defined hosts (proposed: yes) or is Docker entirely admin-only?
+4. Session handoff: does an admin need "reassign session/case to another user"? (Cheap to add next to `cases/assign`; not in v1 scope.)
+5. Permission-mode grants (section 6.3): one `canBypassPermissions` flag covering Claude/Codex/Gemini bypass equivalents PLUS shell mode and cron `launchCommand` (proposed: one flag, keep it one-bit), or split into `canBypassPermissions` + `canRunArbitraryCommands`? And should admins be able to set a per-user DEFAULT mode (for example force `normal` for an intern) rather than just gating bypass?
+6. OpenCode has no single bypass flag (its permission config rides `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`): decide what the grant means there before Phase 3, or exclude OpenCode mode for non-granted users in v1.

+# Remote Sessions (SSH)
+
+Codeman can run a session's agent on a **remote host over SSH** instead of the
+local machine. The agent (Claude, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, or a plain shell)
+runs inside a `tmux` server **on the remote host**, so it survives the SSH
+connection dropping; Codeman attaches to it the same way it attaches to a local
+managed session.
+
+This document covers the data model, the shell-safe SSH command construction
+(COD-107), the durable-launch design (COD-104), and the operational caveats.
+For the local session/mux machinery this builds on, see the **Mux** and
+**Session** entries in `CLAUDE.md` → Architecture.
+
+## Why it exists
+
+A developer box (`AA-DESKTOP`) often needs to drive an agent on another machine —
+a NAS, a build server, a host reachable only through a jump box or a
+cloudflared SOCKS5 proxy. Rather than wrap `ssh` by hand per host, Codeman
+stores reusable **remote hosts** + **remote cases** and reproduces the exact
+connection the operator already uses (`ssh-aa-desktop`-style configs:
+custom port, identity file, `-J` jump host, `-o ProxyCommand`).
+
+## Data model
+
+Types live in `src/types/session.ts`; persistence in `src/remote-hosts.ts`.
+
+| Type | Role |
+|------|------|
+| `RemoteSshOptions` | The **HOW-to-reach** fields, shared by host + session: `identityFile`, `socksProxy` (`host:port`), `jumpHost` (`[user@]host[:port]`), `extraSshOptions` (`KEY=VALUE[]`). Every field optional — all-absent reproduces port-22, default-identity, directly-SSH-able behavior. |
+| `RemoteHost` (extends `RemoteSshOptions`) | A saved host: `id`, `label`, `host`, `username`, `port?`, `commands?` (per-mode launch command override). |
+| `RemoteCase` | A working directory on a host: `name`, `type: 'remote'`, `hostId`, `remotePath`. |
+| `SessionRemote` (extends `RemoteSshOptions`) | The resolved bundle stamped onto a live session: host coordinates + `remotePath` + `commands`, plus **`owned?`** and **`remoteSessionName?`** (COD-105 — see [Ownership](#ownership-launched-vs-discovered-and-attached-cod-105)). Built by `toSessionRemote(host, case)` (sets `owned: true`) for the launch path, or `toAttachedSessionRemote(host, name, path)` (sets `owned: false`) for the attach path. Both copy the advanced SSH options through so every connection is identical. |
+| `RemoteCommandMode` | `Extract<SessionMode, 'shell' \| 'claude' \| 'opencode' \| 'codex' \| 'gemini'>` — the modes that can run remotely. |
+| `RemoteSessionInfo` (COD-105) | One discovered remote tmux session: `name` (always `codeman-*`), `attached` (a client is connected), `created` (epoch s), `windows`. Returned by `listRemoteCodemanSessions()`. |
+
+Persistence is two flat JSON arrays in the instance data dir:
+
+- `~/.codeman/remote-hosts.json` — `readRemoteHosts()` / `writeRemoteHosts()`
+- `~/.codeman/remote-cases.json` — `readRemoteCases()` / `writeRemoteCases()`
+
+(Paths via `remoteHostsPath()` / `remoteCasesPath()`; both honor `CODEMAN_INSTANCE`
+because the config dir is the instance data dir.)
+
+On the live `Session`, the remote rides as `_remote?: SessionRemote`. When
+attaching, `resolveMuxAttachCwd()` forces the cwd to `/tmp` for remote sessions —
+the local working directory is meaningless on the remote box.
+
+## SSH command construction (COD-107 — the injection surface)
+
+**All** SSH command lines flow through one function so user-controlled fields are
+escaped once and the launch + prereq probe can never drift apart:
+
+```ts
+// src/remote-hosts.ts
+buildSshConnectionArgs(remote: RemoteSshOptions & Pick<RemoteHost, 'port'>): string[]
+```
+
+It returns the **ordered leading tokens** of an ssh command line (no `-t`, no
+target, no remote command):
+
+```
+ssh -o BatchMode=yes
+    [-p <port>]
+    [-i <abs-identity>]            # ~ / $HOME expanded, then shellescaped
+    [-J <jumpHost>]                # shellescaped, single token
+    [-o ProxyCommand=nc -X 5 -x <socks> %h %p]   # ONE shellescaped -o token
+    [-o <KEY=VALUE>] …             # each extra option, shellescaped
+```
+
+Rules that keep this safe — **do not bypass them by hand-building an ssh line elsewhere:**
+
+- **Every** user-controlled value (`-i`, `-J`, `-o`, ProxyCommand) is POSIX
+  single-quote `shellescape`d (`'…'` with embedded `'\''`). The helper mirrors
+  the one in `tmux-manager.ts`.
+- **`~`/`$HOME` in `identityFile` is expanded at build time** (`expandIdentityPath`),
+  *before* escaping — ssh does not expand `~` inside `-i`, and the escaped value
+  never reaches a shell that would.
+- **The ProxyCommand is one shellescaped `-o KEY=VALUE` token**, so its spaces and
+  the `%h`/`%p` placeholders reach ssh as a single argument. `%h %p` survive
+  verbatim — **ssh** expands them to the real host/port, not the shell.
+- **Empty options ⇒ `['ssh', '-o BatchMode=yes']`** (+ `-p` only when set) —
+  byte-identical to the historical behavior.
+
+Token construction is unit-tested independently of any live connection (see
+`test/` for `buildSshConnectionArgs` / `buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand` cases).
+
+## Durable launch (COD-104)
+
+`buildRemoteLaunchCommand({ mode, remote, sessionId })` in `tmux-manager.ts`
+builds the command that launches (or **reattaches** to) the remote session:
+
+```
+ssh -o BatchMode=yes -t <connection-args> user@host \
+  'tmux -L codeman-remote new-session -A -s codeman-ssh-<id8> -c <remotePath> "cd <remotePath> && exec <cli>" \; \
+     set -t codeman-ssh-<id8> status off \; set -t codeman-ssh-<id8> mouse off \; \
+     set -t codeman-ssh-<id8> prefix C-q \; set -s escape-time 0 \; \
+     set -t codeman-ssh-<id8> window-size latest'
+```
+
+Key points:
+
+- **`new-session -A -s codeman-ssh-<id8>`** = attach-if-exists-else-create, so a
+  reconnect (same deterministic `remoteTmuxSessionName(sessionId)` — `codeman-ssh-` +
+  the first 8 chars of the session id) lands back in
+  the **same** remote session rather than spawning a duplicate. This is what makes
+  the remote agent survive an SSH drop. The name deliberately fails
+  `SAFE_MUX_NAME_PATTERN` so a Codeman running ON the remote host never adopts it.
+- **`-L codeman-remote`** = a DEDICATED socket for sessions launched by remote
+  Codemans, NOT the canonical `-L codeman` socket the remote host's own Codeman
+  uses. Options are set per-session (`set -t`), never `-g`, so a shared remote
+  tmux server's other sessions are untouched (#145 hardening). Note the
+  asymmetry: **discovery/attach (COD-105) target the canonical `-L codeman`
+  socket** — they join sessions the remote's own Codeman manages, while owned
+  durable launches live on `-L codeman-remote`.
+- **`exec <cli>`** replaces the pane shell with the agent, so the pane PID *is*
+  the agent. The per-mode command comes from `remote.commands?.[mode]` or
+  `defaultRemoteCommandForMode(mode)` (`exec claude` / `exec opencode` /
+  `exec codex` / `exec gemini` / `exec bash -l`).
+- The **whole tmux invocation is a single shell-quoted ssh argument**, and the
+  pane command is independently quoted, so a `remotePath` with spaces is safe.
+- Connection options come from the **same `buildSshConnectionArgs(remote)`** as
+  the prereq probe; `-t` is inserted right after `ssh -o BatchMode=yes`,
+  preserving historical token order.
+
+### tmux prerequisite probe
+
+Because durable remote sessions require tmux on the remote host,
+`checkRemoteTmuxAvailable(host)` runs `command -v tmux` over SSH **before**
+creating a remote case/session and returns a structured, never-throwing result:
+
+- empty stdout / non-zero exit → *"remote host `<host>` needs tmux installed for
+  durable remote sessions"*
+- stderr present → *"could not verify tmux on remote host `<host>`: `<stderr>`"*
+  (a real connection failure, surfaced to the operator)
+- success → `{ ok: true, tmuxPath }`
+
+It connects with the **identical** options as the launch
+(`buildRemoteTmuxCheckCommand` reuses `buildSshConnectionArgs` and inserts
+`-o ConnectTimeout=10`), so a proxied/custom-port/identity host that the launch
+can reach also passes the probe (and vice-versa).
+
+**Test-mode short-circuit:** under `VITEST` the probe returns
+`{ ok: true, tmuxPath: '(test-mode)' }` without opening a socket — mirroring
+`TmuxManager`'s no-op-shell-under-VITEST (`IS_TEST_MODE`). Without it, remote-case
+create-path tests would hit a real ~10s ssh timeout. Only the live probe is
+skipped; command construction is still asserted by unit tests.
+
+## Ownership: launched vs. discovered-and-attached (COD-105)
+
+COD-104 (above) was Phase 1 — Codeman *launches* a remote session and owns it.
+COD-105 is Phase 2 — Codeman can also **discover** `codeman-*` tmux sessions
+already running on a remote host (created by the remote's own Codeman or another
+instance) and **attach** to one it didn't launch. Ownership decides what happens
+when the tab closes.
+
+`SessionRemote.owned` carries this:
+
+- **`owned: true`** (or absent — legacy/COD-104 sessions persisted before this
+  field) — we launched it via `buildRemoteLaunchCommand` and may explicitly kill it.
+- **`owned: false`** — discovered + attached; another Codeman owns the remote
+  session. `remoteSessionName` holds its existing tmux name. Closing the tab
+  **detaches**, never kills.
+
+### Discovery
+
+`listRemoteCodemanSessions(host)` lists the remote's `codeman-*` sessions:
+
+- `buildRemoteListSessionsCommand()` runs `tmux -L codeman list-sessions -F "…"`
+  over SSH (connection args from the shared `buildSshConnectionArgs`, so discovery
+  connects identically to launch/probe). `2>/dev/null` swallows tmux's "no server
+  running" stderr.
+- `parseRemoteSessionList()` is a **pure, unit-tested** parser. ⚠️ Quirk: the
+  remote tmux's `-F "…\t…"` format emits the **literal two-character `\t`**, not a
+  real tab (verified on tmux next-3.7), so the parser splits on `/\\t|\t/` (literal
+  backslash-t **or** a real tab, for builds that do expand it). It keeps only
+  `codeman-*` names, coerces types, and skips malformed lines.
+- `listRemoteCodemanSessions()` **never throws** — unreachable host / no tmux / no
+  sessions all map to `[]`. Like the prereq probe, it **no-ops to `[]` under
+  `VITEST`** so a request path never opens a real ssh connection.
+
+Discovery is **explicit** — the UI has a "Discover existing sessions" button per
+host; Codeman never auto-discovers on host select.
+
+### Attach vs. launch selection
+
+`buildRemoteSessionCommand(mode, remote, sessionId)` in `tmux-manager.ts` picks the
+remote command line by ownership:
+
+- **`owned === false`** → `buildRemoteAttachCommand(remote, name)` — emits
+  `ssh … -t … 'tmux -L codeman attach -t <remoteSessionName>'`. It uses **`attach`,
+  NOT `new-session -A`**, so it only *joins* an existing session and never creates
+  one.
+- **owned (default)** → `buildRemoteLaunchCommand` (the COD-104 path above).
+
+### Detach-not-kill
+
+`TmuxManager.killSession()` has an **early return for non-owned remote sessions**:
+it tears down **only the LOCAL pane** holding the ssh client (`tmux -L codeman
+kill-session` on *this* host's socket). Killing the local ssh sends SIGHUP to the
+remote `tmux attach`, which **detaches** — the durable remote session survives.
+The early return is a structural guarantee that **no code path can ever issue a
+remote `kill-session` for a session we don't own** — the only `kill-session` run is
+on the local socket, which never reaches the remote socket.
+
+## API
+
+Routes are registered in `src/web/routes/case-routes.ts`:
+
+| Method | Path | Purpose |
+|--------|------|---------|
+| `GET` | `/api/remote-hosts` | List saved hosts |
+| `POST` | `/api/remote-hosts` | Create a host |
+| `PUT` | `/api/remote-hosts/:id` | Update a host |
+| `DELETE` | `/api/remote-hosts/:id` | Delete a host |
+| `GET` | `/api/remote-hosts/:hostId/sessions` | Discover `codeman-*` sessions on the host (COD-105; `listRemoteCodemanSessions`, never errors) |
+| `POST` | `/api/cases/remote-link` | Link a case to a remote host (creates the `RemoteCase`) |
+
+Attaching to a discovered session is a **session-create** path, not a host route:
+`POST /api/sessions` accepts `attachRemoteSession: { hostId, remoteSessionName }`
+(schema in `schemas.ts`; `remoteSessionName` must match `^codeman-[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+$`),
+which `session-routes.ts` turns into a non-owned (`owned: false`) session.
+
+Frontend touchpoints: the remote-host management UI is in `session-ui.js` /
+`panels-ui.js`; a remote session is created by picking a remote host/case in the
+session-create flow, or via the per-host **"Discover existing sessions"** button →
+**Attach** action (creates an `owned: false` session).
+
+## Security notes
+
+- **`identityFile` is a path only — never key bytes.** Codeman stores the path and
+  passes it to `ssh -i`; the key never enters Codeman's state or the wire.
+- The injection surface is the SSH option fields. The single-source
+  `buildSshConnectionArgs` + `shellescape` discipline (COD-107) is the control —
+  audit any new code path that constructs an ssh command to route through it
+  rather than concatenating options inline.
+- `BatchMode=yes` means **no interactive password/passphrase prompts** — remote
+  hosts must be reachable with key-based or agent auth (or an unencrypted key the
+  agent has loaded). A host needing a passphrase will fail the probe with an ssh
+  diagnostic rather than hang.

-## 10. Quick reference
+## 10. Docker container isolation
+
+Docker cases (1.4.0) run a session inside a per‑case container instead of on the host. The security posture:
+
+- **Hardened create flags, always** — `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, `--pids-limit` (fork‑bomb guard), `--memory` == `--memory-swap` (a real OOM cap), `--init`, and non‑root: `--user <hostUid>:0` on Linux (host uid → workspace files stay host‑owned; GID 0 keeps `$HOME` writable), `--userns=keep-id` on rootless Podman. **Never** `--privileged`, and **never** the docker socket — the pure builder in `docker-hosts.ts` cannot emit them and the schema cannot represent them.
+- **Credentials never enter an image** — the convenient default bind‑mounts host cred dirs (`~/.claude`, `~/.codex`, `~/.gemini`, `~/.config/{gcloud,opencode}`) read‑write. Bind mounts are physically excluded from `docker commit`, so exported images are secret‑free. API‑key CLIs get their key as an exec‑time NAME‑ONLY `--env OPENAI_API_KEY` (no `=value`, no `ps` leak, never committed); a create‑time `-e` for a secret is never used. The **sealed** profile (`mountCredentials:false` + `network:none`) drops the host mounts; full‑image export is then refused (an in‑container login would ride the committed layer) unless a pre‑commit scrub is opted into.
+- **Blast radius — accept it explicitly** — the convenient profile mounts an arbitrary host workspace RW plus the host credential dirs RW into a network‑enabled container, so container‑run agent code can read/modify those host trees and reach the network at once. Still a net improvement over today's on‑host `--dangerously-skip-permissions` execution; use the sealed profile for genuinely untrusted work.
+- **Import is untrusted‑bundle‑safe** — `/api/docker-cases/import` validates the manifest + per‑member SHA‑256 before extraction, rejects absolute / `..` tar members (traversal guard), and re‑tags the loaded image into a quarantined namespace so it can never overwrite `codeman/agent:base` or a pre‑existing tag.
+- **Host guard & the bridge‑hooks listener** — in‑container hook callbacks carry `Host: host.docker.internal` / `host.containers.internal`; both are on the always‑on host‑header allowlist (`DOCKER_HOST_GATEWAY_ALIASES`) and resolve to the host only from inside a container netns, so they are not a browser DNS‑rebinding surface. On a loopback‑only server, in‑container hooks are opt‑in via `CODEMAN_DOCKER_BRIDGE_HOOKS=1`, which binds a SECOND listener on the docker bridge gateway serving **only** the hook endpoints (every other path → `403`) into the same hook‑secret‑gated pipeline. The bridge is host‑internal (containers + host), not the LAN, so it does not widen network exposure; the hook secret is bind‑mounted read‑only and referenced by path.
+- **Instance isolation** — every managed container is labeled `codeman.instance=<CODEMAN_INSTANCE>`; the boot reaper reaps orphans of its OWN instance only, so a beta never removes a prod container. The in‑container tmux socket (`-L codeman-docker`) + session name (`codeman-dkr-*`) deliberately fail a nested Codeman's discovery pattern.
+
+Full feature guide: [`docker-cases.md`](docker-cases.md).
+
+---
+
+## 10a. Multi‑user mode (opt‑in)
+
+`codeman web --multiuser` (or `CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1`) turns on named users with individually scrypt‑hashed passwords in `~/.codeman/users.json` (mode 0600). OFF by default; when off, nothing here applies and behavior is byte‑identical to single‑user. Design + phase status: [`multi-user-plan.md`](multi-user-plan.md).
+
+- **It is workspace separation, NOT a security boundary between users.** Every session still runs as the SAME OS account with agent code that can read the whole host. Any user can ask their agent to `cat` another user's files; the WEB layer enforces scoping, the AGENT layer cannot. Mitigations: give non‑admins the default `auto` permission mode (classifier‑guarded), pair users with **Docker cases** (container per case) for real isolation, or run separate Codeman instances under separate OS accounts. Stated loudly in the admin panel and the plan's threat model (section 2).
+- **It strictly improves network posture.** It removes the single shared `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` and gives each person a revocable credential; a non‑loopback bind and the tunnel‑enable guard are satisfied by "multi‑user with ≥1 enabled user" without a shared password.
+- **Auth is a parallel branch** (`middleware/auth.ts`) that leaves the single‑user path untouched: per‑user scrypt verify (`timingSafeEqual`, timing‑equalized against user enumeration), identity‑carrying cookies, a per‑username failure bucket (a botnet can't brute one account across IPs; one NATed user can't lock out the rest), and a `mustChangePassword` lockbox. The hook‑secret loopback bypass, host guard, and Origin/CSRF guard are unchanged (hooks authenticate the INSTANCE, not a user).
+- **Ownership is enforced server‑side only** and fails closed: `req.authUser` (a synthetic admin in single‑user), `findSessionOrFail` returns NOT_FOUND (never 403) for a foreign session, list/SSE/WS/file‑preview/search all filter by `session.owner`, and SSE routing defaults session‑scoped events to their owner (unresolved owner → withheld). The load‑bearing rule is **non‑admin `workingDir` confinement**: a non‑admin's session/one‑shot working dir must realpath‑resolve inside `~/codeman-users/<name>/cases`, checked BEFORE any disk write.
+- **Privileged actions are a one‑bit grant** (`canBypassPermissions`, default off): only granted users (and admins) get `--dangerously-skip-permissions` (others are silently downgraded to `--permission-mode auto`), shell‑mode sessions, cron `launchCommand`, and other CLIs' bypass flags. Machine‑level resources (remote/Docker host definitions, tunnel, self‑update, settings writes) are admin‑only.
+- **Admin actions are audited** append‑only to `~/.codeman/admin-audit.jsonl` (acting admin, action, target, IP). Passwords set by an admin create/reset are one‑time (returned once, force change). Under Basic auth, `logout` only truly ends QR‑issued sessions — to lock someone out, disable the account or reset the password (a proper login form is a deferred Phase 6).
+
+---
+
+## 10b. Web tabs (dashboard proxy)
+
+A saved dashboard URL renders as a tab, served through Codeman's own origin at `/webview/<capability>/`. User guide: [`web-tabs.md`](web-tabs.md). Three properties carry the security weight:
+
+- **The proxy is exempt from cookie auth and the Origin/CSRF guard, and that is deliberate.** The iframe is sandboxed without `allow-same-origin`, so it is opaque‑origin: its requests are cross‑site, meaning the `SameSite=lax` session cookie is never attached and its writes and WS upgrades arrive with `Origin: null`. The credential is instead a 192‑bit capability in the path, minted only by an authenticated `POST /api/webviews/:id/open`, held in memory (a restart invalidates every one), rolling TTL, bound to the minting user, and granting nothing but "relay bytes to this one saved URL". ⚠️ **The Host allowlist is NOT bypassed**, so DNS‑rebinding protection is unaffected. A second `Referer`‑keyed form exists for root‑absolute assets and is the only exemption decided by a request‑supplied header, so it is fenced to safe methods on non‑`/api`, non‑`/ws`, non‑`/q` paths. Edges pinned by `test/webview-auth-exemption.test.ts`.
+- **Sandboxed by default; `allow-same-origin` is an explicit per‑dashboard opt‑in.** A proxied page is same‑origin with Codeman, so without the sandbox its JavaScript could read the Codeman document and call the agent‑spawning API. ⚠️ In BOTH modes the `Authorization` header and the `codeman_session` cookie are stripped before the upstream request, because a trusted (same‑origin) frame makes the browser attach Codeman's own Basic‑auth credentials to every proxied request; forwarding them would hand `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` to the dashboard.
+- **Not an open relay, and not a privilege boundary.** `resolveUpstreamUrl()` refuses anything leaving the saved origin, and cross‑origin redirects are handed back unchanged rather than followed. The proxy does reach whatever the SERVER can reach, which is not an escalation for someone who already commands `--dangerously-skip-permissions` agents, but in multi‑user mode it means a non‑admin's dashboard is fetched from the server's network position. Saved URLs are validated to plain http(s) with no embedded credentials, and there is deliberately **no magic‑link path**: terminal output can never create a webview (the mistake the attachment scanner had to be walled off from).

+# Web Tabs (dashboards as Codeman tabs)
+
+Open any dashboard you run, Grafana, Uptime Kuma, Portainer, a status page on port
+4000, as a tab beside your Claude/Codex/Gemini sessions. Codeman becomes one mission
+control instead of Codeman plus a pile of browser tabs.
+
+## Using it
+
+1. Click the chevron next to **Run** to expand the dropdown.
+2. Under **Web / URL**, pick **Add dashboard...**
+3. Give it a name and a URL, optionally hit **Test**, then **Save**.
+
+The dashboard opens as a tab immediately, and appears in the Run dropdown from then
+on. Web tabs sit in the same strip as session tabs, continue the same `Alt+1..9`
+numbering, and carry a globe icon so they never read as a running agent.
+
+Closing a tab (the `x`) only closes it. The saved dashboard stays in the dropdown.
+Deleting for good is behind the gear on the tab, or the gear on its dropdown row.
+
+Switching tabs does **not** reload a dashboard. Frames stay alive in the background,
+so a dashboard that took a while to authenticate is still there when you come back.
+Past six live frames the least-recently-viewed one is dropped to bound memory
+(`CODEMAN_MAX_LIVE_WEBVIEW_FRAMES`).
+
+## Why dashboards are proxied
+
+A plain `<iframe src="http://your-box:4000">` does not work in the setup Codeman
+actually ships in, for three separate reasons:
+
+| Blocker             | What happens                                                                                   |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Mixed content**   | Production serves HTTPS (behind `tailscale serve`). Browsers hard-block `http://` iframes on an HTTPS page, with no override, and none at all on iOS Safari. |
+| **Framing refusal** | Grafana, Portainer, Home Assistant and many others send `X-Frame-Options: DENY` or `frame-ancestors 'none'`. |
+| **Codeman's CSP**   | `default-src 'self'` means `frame-src` falls back to `'self'`, so a cross-origin iframe is blocked before it starts. |
+
+Serving the dashboard **through Codeman's own origin** dissolves all three. So by
+default a web tab loads `/webview/<capability>/` on Codeman, and Codeman relays to
+the dashboard: stripping the framing refusal, rewriting redirects, cookies and
+root-absolute URLs, and relaying WebSockets so live panels actually update.
+
+A useful consequence: the dashboard is fetched **from the Codeman server**, so a
+tailnet-only or `localhost`-only dashboard works from any device that can reach
+Codeman, including a phone that is not on the tailnet.
+
+`direct` mode (a plain cross-origin iframe) still exists and is cheaper, but it only
+works for an HTTPS dashboard that permits framing. The **Test** button probes from
+the server and tells you which mode applies.
+
+## The sandbox, and when to turn it off
+
+Because a proxied dashboard is served from Codeman's own address, it is
+*same-origin with Codeman* as far as the browser is concerned. Left unchecked, its
+JavaScript could read the Codeman page and call the API that spawns agents.
+
+So the iframe is sandboxed **without** `allow-same-origin` by default. The page runs
+in an opaque origin: it cannot touch Codeman, and it gets no cookies or
+`localStorage` of its own.
+
+Unchecking **Open sandboxed** grants `allow-same-origin`. Do that only for a
+dashboard you fully trust, and only if you need it, which in practice means a
+dashboard with its own login that stores a session in a cookie or `localStorage`.
+
+Even in trusted mode, Codeman never forwards its own credentials upstream: the
+`Authorization` header and the `codeman_session` cookie are stripped on the way out,
+so `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` cannot leak into a dashboard.
+
+## How the proxy authenticates
+
+A sandboxed iframe is opaque-origin, so every request it makes is cross-site: the
+`SameSite=lax` session cookie is not sent, and writes and WebSocket upgrades arrive
+with `Origin: null`. Cookie auth cannot work.
+
+Instead, opening a dashboard mints a **capability**: 192 bits of entropy in the URL
+path, held in memory only, with a rolling 12-hour TTL, bound to the user who minted
+it, and granting exactly one thing, relaying bytes to that one saved URL. Editing or
+deleting a dashboard revokes it, and a server restart invalidates every outstanding
+capability (tabs re-mint transparently on next click).
+

+| `CODEMAN_MAX_WEBVIEW_SOCKETS`        | 8       | Concurrent proxied WebSockets per dashboard |
+
+Saved dashboards live in `~/.codeman/webviews.json`. Which tabs you have open is
+per-device (`localStorage`), since that is workspace layout rather than config.
+
+## How a dashboard's own API calls keep working
+
+Worth knowing, because it is where this feature does its least obvious work. Three
+layers cooperate so a dashboard talking to its own backend just works:
+
+1. `<base href>` handles relative URLs in the markup.
+2. Attribute rewriting handles root-absolute `src`/`href`/`action`.
+3. A small injected script rebases URLs built at **runtime** (`fetch('/api/data')`,
+   `new WebSocket('/live')`), which the first two cannot see.
+
+On top of that, the proxy answers those requests with CORS headers. That sounds
+wrong for same-host requests, but a sandboxed iframe has an *opaque* origin, so the
+browser treats every one of its `fetch`/XHR calls as cross-origin even though the
+URL is on Codeman itself. Without those headers, a dashboard renders perfectly and
+then every API call fails, which looks like the dashboard being broken.
+
+## Known limits
+
+- **Exotic loaders.** The three layers above cover normal `fetch`/XHR/WebSocket/
+  EventSource and normal markup. Something that constructs requests by an unusual
+  route can still slip through. Symptom: the page renders but a panel stays empty.
+- **Cross-origin redirects are not followed.** If a dashboard bounces to a different
+  host (an external SSO provider, say), the proxy hands the redirect back unchanged
+  rather than relaying it, because relaying would make this an open proxy. Use
+  **Open in new tab** for those.
+- **Login-protected dashboards need trusted mode**, since a sandboxed frame has no
+  cookie jar. A server-side per-dashboard cookie jar would lift this and is the
+  natural next step if it becomes annoying.
+- **Not a security boundary.** The proxy reaches whatever the Codeman server can
+  reach. That is not an escalation for someone who already commands
+  `--dangerously-skip-permissions` agents, but in multi-user mode it does mean a
+  non-admin user's dashboard is fetched from the server's network position.
+

+ *  - the **eligibility decision** (`decideReconnect`) given a session + its
+ *    reconnect state + the current time + the guard set.

+/**
+ * @fileoverview Pure cross-session federated search core (COD-9).
+ *
+ * `searchSources()` is the testable heart of `GET /api/search`: it takes a
+ * normalized query plus already-collected, in-memory source data and returns
+ * grouped, ranked, and capped results. It performs NO I/O — the route wrapper
+ * (`src/web/routes/search-routes.ts`) is responsible for harvesting the source
+ * arrays from the live server stores (sessions, run-summary trackers, attachment
+ * histories) in a bounded way before calling this.
+ *
+ * v1 scope (do not expand here): three sources — sessions/cases, run-summary
+ * events, file paths. Terminal-buffer scanning and any persisted index are
+ * explicitly deferred.
+ *
+ * Ranking: results are grouped by source type in the fixed order
+ * sessions → events → files. Within each group, exact (case-insensitive)
+ * name/path matches come first, then recency (newest timestamp first) as the
+ * tiebreak. There is no relevance-scoring pass in v1.
+ *
+ * Safety: file results only ever expose a workspace-relative path — server-
+ * private absolute paths are never placed in a result. Per-group and total caps
+ * bound the output so a broad query cannot return an unbounded payload.
+ *
+ * Key exports:
+ * - searchSources() — the pure core.
+ * - SEARCH_TOTAL_CAP / SEARCH_PER_GROUP_CAP — the output bounds.
+ * - SearchSources and the *Input row types — the source-data contract.
