fix(skill): keep the re-wait open while sendwait works the composer

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

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

+fix(terminal): keep the output a pane capture could not contain. Opening a session, a backpressure refresh, a clear-terminal reload and a full-history re-pull all load the screen from a tmux pane capture, and anything the CLI printed between that capture and the end of the load used to be dropped, so its next partial redraw landed on a frame the terminal had never seen: missing or garbled output right after a tab switch or a refresh, plainest in a shell session. Each load now replays exactly the output that arrived after the capture, through one shared rule for all four paths, and a refresh that restores your scroll position no longer snaps back to the bottom afterwards.

+fix(input): make sure a prompt sent through the API actually leaves the composer. Claude Code 2.1.277 started ignoring Enter for the first 30 to 50 seconds after the composer paints while still accepting the typed text, so a prompt sent right after a session came up sat unsent in the pane and every waiter (send-and-wait, the agent skill, cron, the maintainer bot) burned its whole timeout on a turn that never started. The server now reads the pane after every programmatic write that carried Enter and presses Enter again, on a 2 to 60 second schedule, only while the composer verifiably still holds the text it sent; an empty composer, other text, or a pane with no composer at all ends it. The agent skill's `sendwait` gets the same loop for servers that predate this, and its preamble version moves to 1.30.1 so an already-seeded agent picks up the fresh copy.

 # aicodeman
 
+## 1.30.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- da933d7: Offer to rebuild the sessions a host reboot destroyed. A reboot takes the tmux server down with it, so every pane dies and the board comes up empty. Codeman now works out what was running, and the board offers to restore it behind a click. The conversations come back; the terminal scrollback does not, and the banner says so.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- a1c35da: Stop a phone keyboard losing the last character of every message it sends. Android soft keyboards commit the last typed character and send the Enter key in one InputConnection transaction, so the `input` event and the Enter keydown are both processed before any zero-delay timer runs. The orphaned-input recovery from #388 only resolved its candidate on such a timer, and lost it both ways: xterm emits `\r` synchronously from the Enter keydown, so the local-echo composer submitted the prompt before the recovered character existed, and that `\r` bumped the "did xterm speak for this keystroke" counter, so the candidate then stood itself down and dropped the character outright. Pending candidates are now drained synchronously at the next keydown, from xterm's custom key handler, which runs before xterm processes that key, so the counter still holds the value it had while the candidate's own keystroke was current, and the recovered byte reaches the composer ahead of the Enter. Typing on a physical keyboard is unaffected: there, the timer has already resolved the candidate before the next key arrives.
+- 3f2928a: The installer's hint for a launcher-only CLI (DeepSeek today) now says why it is a docs link rather than a command you can run, and points at the thing that resolves it: the package installs a launcher that still needs a terminal profile, and Codeman's Run menu can add one in a click. Driven by a generated `CLI_LAUNCHER_ONLY` flag rather than an id check, so it covers any future entry of that shape. Also removes three dead lookup helpers and two never-read generated arrays from `install.sh`, skips a disabled entry's probe instead of filtering it afterwards, and corrects a comment that claimed the non-interactive default is always Claude Code (on a wget-only host its curl one-liner is filtered out first).
+- 0e1191b: Maintainer fixes applied while landing the above. A session restored after a reboot keeps the name you gave it (the rebuild dropped the field that records who named a session, so a hand-renamed session came back looking auto-named and the next prompt overwrote it), and no longer types `continue` into itself on its own: a pending auto-resume stamp from before the reboot is dropped rather than re-armed, since the pane is new and one click could otherwise arm several unattended prompts at once. Auto-resume itself stays on and re-arms on the next real usage-limit message. The restore offer is also hidden in a detached single-session window, which has no tab strip to put restored sessions in, and a conversation that goes live while an earlier session in the same batch is starting is no longer restored a second time.
+- 0e1191b: ### Thanks
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for the reboot-restore banner (#442), and for the three real reboots behind it rather than a mocked one.
+  - @shenlvkang-collab for tracking down why Android keyboards lost the last character of every message (#441), including the half where the character was not late but gone.
+  - @opticon454 for going back and closing out the loose ends left as "worth knowing rather than fixing" after #380 (#429).
+
+- de864e7: Keep the terminal anchored where you are reading while an agent streams (#358). Scrolling up during a Codex response could still be dragged back to the live bottom by the next redraw: the flush captured the viewport before writing and restored it immediately after, but xterm parses asynchronously, so at that moment the buffer had not moved yet, the restore compared the anchor against itself and did nothing, and the redraw landed a tick later with nothing left to pull the view back. The restore now runs inside xterm's own write callback, which is the first point at which the redraw's effect exists, and it holds across consecutive and chunked redraws. It is dropped if you switch sessions or a history replay starts before the write parses, since the anchor indexes the buffer it was captured from.
+
+## 1.29.1
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 5b920cb: Auto-name sessions from the first prompt (#376, opt-in). With the new synced **Auto-name Sessions** setting on (App Settings → Appearance → Tabs, default off), a tab that still carries its generated name takes a title from the first real prompt you submit, keeping the case prefix: `w3-myapp` becomes `w3-myapp: fix the login redirect`. The strip shows the title with the prefix in the tooltip, and the next session in that case still counts up. It happens once per session, only for prompts you type or send through the input API (never a Ralph, respawn, cron or approval answer), never for shells, and a name you set yourself is never touched. Slash commands such as `/clear` do not become titles. The title is derived locally from the prompt's first sentence; no text leaves the machine. `nameSource` (`placeholder` / `auto` / `manual`) is a new additive field on session state.
+
+  Landed with the fixes the review of #376 asked for: first prompt only (not every prompt), a user-input gate so Ralph, respawn, cron and approval writes cannot name a tab, the prefix form so the case identity and `w<n>` counter survive, and a keystroke tracker that handles a bare Esc, bracketed pastes, wheel reports, Tab and history recall instead of mis-titling the tab.
+
+  ### Thanks
+  - @shenlvkang-collab for #376, the auto-naming idea and the ownership plumbing (`nameSource`, the listener wiring, the restore path) it shipped with.

-- **Docker 会话** —— 在隔离且加固的容器中运行案例。**Create New** 上勾选一个复选框即可用合理的默认值启动容器并在其中启动智能体；同一案例的多个会话共享一个容器；可将容器连同工作区导出为可移植的 `.tar.gz`，迁移到另一台机器。详见 [`docs/docker-cases.md`](docs/docker-cases.md)
+- **把 GitHub 仓库克隆成 case** —— 在 **Add Case → Clone Repo** 里粘贴一个仓库 URL，Codeman 会把它克隆到 `~/codeman-cases/<name>` 并注册为普通 case，随时可以跑智能体。输入时它会预检 URL（告诉你能否匿名克隆，并为可选的分支/标签字段提供仓库真实的分支与标签），从 URL 里填好 case 名，还让你选 Run 按钮该用哪个 CLI。支持 `https://` 的公开仓库；Codeman 绝不收集或保存凭据
-- **远程 SSH 会话**：把案例指向另一台机器，让智能体在那里一个持久的远程 tmux 中运行：SSH 断连不中断任务、自动重连，还能发现并附着主机上已在运行的会话。详见 [`docs/remote-sessions.md`](docs/remote-sessions.md)
+- **多 CLI** —— 每个会话可选 **Claude Code**、**OpenCode**、**Codex**、**Antigravity**、**Gemini**、**Pi**、**Grok**、**DeepSeek Harness** 或 **OMP**；环境变量前缀自动隔离（`CLAUDE_CODE_*`、`OPENCODE_*`、`CODEX_*`、`ANTIGRAVITY_*`、`GEMINI_*`/`GOOGLE_*`、`PI_*`、`GROK_*`/`XAI_*`、`DSH_*`/`DEEPSEEK_*` 与 `OMP_*`）。详见 [`docs/opencode-integration.md`](docs/opencode-integration.md)、[`docs/pi-integration.md`](docs/pi-integration.md)、[`docs/grok-integration.md`](docs/grok-integration.md)、[`docs/deepseek-integration.md`](docs/deepseek-integration.md) 与 [`docs/omp-integration.md`](docs/omp-integration.md)
+- **自定义模型端点**（1.29.0 新增，目前仅 HTTP API）—— 让某个会话的 CLI 指向任意 OpenAI 兼容端点，而不是它自己的官方后端：本地的 llama.cpp、llama-swap、Ollama 或 vLLM 机器，也可以是 Azure AI Foundry、OpenRouter 这类云端网关。端点只需保存一次（`POST /api/model-endpoints`，模型列表从它的 `/v1/models` 自动发现），再应用到会话（`POST /api/sessions/:id/custom-model`），CLI 就会在原地重启并接上该端点。Claude、OpenCode、Pi、Grok 与 OMP 已实测通过；Codex、Gemini 与 DeepSeek 存在已记录的缺口，Antigravity 没有可用机制。工具栏选择器是下一步。详见 [`docs/custom-model-endpoints.md`](docs/custom-model-endpoints.md)
+- **Web 标签页** —— 把 Grafana、Uptime Kuma、一个 Vite 开发服务器或任何仪表盘 URL 作为标签页打开在会话旁边（Run 下拉菜单 → **Web / URL** → **Add URL**）。仪表盘通过 Codeman 自己的源代理，因此 `http://` 目标在手机上走 HTTPS 也能用、走隧道也能用；单页应用能在自己的路径上正常路由，页面自己重载后也能自行恢复。智能体打印出的 `localhost` 链接会自动以 Web 标签页打开。详见 [`docs/web-tabs.md`](docs/web-tabs.md)

+
+#### 一次真实的运行，从头到尾
+
+> **你：** 起 3 个 shell 工作会话，并行跑 lint / typecheck / 前端语法检查，告诉我哪个失败了。
+
+```text

+
+那些 `DONE_<task>_<random>` 字符串就是技能的**拆分标记**技巧，也是扇出在没有 hook 的 `shell` 会话上依然可靠的原因：敲进去的那一行只含 `${M}_17909`，因此只有命令真正的*输出*里才会出现 `DONE_17909`。不拆开的标记会在命令还没跑之前就匹配到你自己按键的回显。

+#### 两件值得知道的事
+
+- **它会自我门禁。** 不在 Codeman 会话里（`CODEMAN_MUX` 未设置）时，技能拒绝动作，也不去猜 API 地址，所以全局安装对无关的 Claude Code 会话没有任何代价。
+- **它刻意保守。** 未经提示，它只会拉起会话、给它们发提示，并删除**它在同一段对话里自己创建的**会话（按精确 id，经由一个拒绝删除智能体自身会话的失败即关闭守卫）。删除 case（会抹掉一个真实的代码目录）、批量杀会话、改动 respawn/ralph/cron/orchestrator 以及写设置，都需要你开口并指名目标。
+
+⚠️ 把 `agentSkillEnabled` 关回去**不会删掉已经注入的副本**（在创建时做清扫，会把技能从共用同一个 `.claude/` 目录的其他活动会话脚下抽走）。要删就按 case 删：`codeman skill uninstall --case <name>`。

+## Reboot restore
+
+A host reboot takes the tmux server down with it, so every pane dies and the
+board comes up empty. At boot Codeman works out which sessions the reboot
+destroyed and holds that plan in memory, and these endpoints let a client offer
+it to the user. Nothing creates a pane until the user asks: the boot-time reboot
+heuristic decides whether to ASK, never whether to act.
+
+Claude-mode sessions only (others carry their conversation id in their own
+config object); remote and docker sessions are never offered, because both need
+another host or container to be up. The plan is in-memory, so a server restart
+drops it and the offer is gone; the conversations themselves are unaffected,
+since they live in the CLI's own transcript store and stay reachable from the
+Resume list. A plan nobody spends expires after 24 hours.
+
+- `GET /api/v1/reboot-restore` → `{ sessions: RestorableSession[],

+  `RestorableSession`: `{ id, name?, workingDir, mode, owner? }`. The persisted
+  record itself is never sent. `scrollbackRestored` is always `false` and exists
+  so a client states it: a restored session is a NEW pane, so the conversation
+  continues and the terminal history does not.
+- `POST /api/v1/reboot-restore/restore` with `{ sessionIds?: string[] }` (omit
+  to restore everything the caller can see) → `{ restored: RestorableSession[],
+  skipped: { sessionId, reason }[] }`. `reason` is one of `workspace-missing`
+  (the directory is gone), `workspace-forbidden` (in multi-user mode it is
+  outside the workspace of the user the session belongs to, re-checked against
+  that owner's current grant rather than the caller's), `already-live` (the conversation is already
+  open, typically resumed by hand from the Resume list), `capacity-reached`
+  (the global or per-user session cap), or `rebuild-failed` (the agent would not
+  start, most often a CLI binary missing from the server's PATH).
+  `409 CONFLICT` when that caller already has a restore running. Entries are
+  removed from the plan before any pane is built, so a double-click cannot put
+  two panes on one conversation; anything that never became a pane goes back on
+  offer, except `already-live`, which cannot stop being true. A restored session
+  comes back attached, idle and disarmed: respawn controllers and Ralph loops
+  are never re-armed automatically.
+- `POST /api/v1/reboot-restore/dismiss` → `{ dismissed: n }`. Drops the offer
+  for everything the caller can see.
+
+Each rebuilt session also emits the ordinary `session:created` SSE event, so
+clients other than the one that clicked pick it up without refetching.

+
+### DeepSeek Harness
+
+The mode wired least like the others, for two reasons worth knowing before you use it.
+
+**`dsh` is a launcher, not an agent.** It boots a *profile*, and the three DeepSeek ships
+(`web`, `headless`, `base`) cannot drive a terminal pane. So "installed" and "runnable" are
+different questions: the Run menu offers **DeepSeek** only once a pane-capable profile
+exists, and until then shows **DeepSeek — add a terminal profile…**, which installs the
+community `dsh-tui` with one click (`pnpm` must be on PATH, because the launcher spawns it
+directly).
+
+**Permissions are an environment variable, not a flag.** The harness has no
+skip-permissions switch. `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE` (`read-only`, `workspace-write`,
+`danger-full-access`) is the whole control, and it is the one setting Codeman deliberately
+carries as an environment variable, because the harness reads it as a soft boot-time
+default. In multi-user mode a user without a grant is clamped to `workspace-write`.
+
+The reward for the odd wiring: **DeepSeek is the one non-Claude mode with real signals.**
+Its terminal front door reports idle, working and blocked to Codeman, so a DeepSeek
+session gets precise idle detection, the `stop` and `blocked` wait signals, and Approvals
+Inbox items. Answers are read from the harness's own transcript on disk rather than
+scraped off the pane. The model is not a session setting; it is part of the profile.
+
+Guide: [`docs/deepseek-integration.md`](https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman/blob/master/docs/deepseek-integration.md).
+
+### OMP
+
+Oh My Pi, installed with `curl -fsSL https://omp.sh/install | sh` into `~/.local/bin`.
+OMP owns its auth, provider routing and approval mode entirely in `~/.omp`: there is no
+Codeman-side login, key field, or bypass switch. Run `omp` once outside Codeman to finish
+its own onboarding, and every session started through Codeman inherits that config. Its
+documented default approval mode is `yolo`, so an OMP pane auto-approves tool use with no
+flag from Codeman; change that in OMP's own config, not here.
+
+OMP conversations appear in Past Sessions and can be resumed, and a respawn continues the
+same conversation with `--continue`.

+Codeman itself can run in a container and spawn Docker cases as sibling containers through
+the host's Docker socket. Copy `docker/.env.example` to `docker/.env`, set
+`CODEMAN_PASSWORD`, then:
+
+```bash
+bash docker/Start-Codeman.sh
+```
+
+Run the script again after updating rather than a plain `docker compose up`, so the rebuilt
+image, the refreshed volumes and the entrypoint arrive together. The full guide, including
+storage and networking options, is
+[`docker/README.md`](https://github.com/Ark0N/Codeman/blob/master/docker/README.md).

+its own "page not found". A navigation the page starts itself afterwards, a dev server's

+connection error. LAN and tailnet addresses still open directly. `*.localhost` names are

+/**
+ * @fileoverview Decide which sessions a host reboot destroyed and may be rebuilt.
+ *
+ * A server restart and a host reboot both leave `reconcileSessions()` reporting
+ * dead sessions, and they need opposite handling. A server restart leaves the
+ * tmux panes running, so recovery ATTACHES to them. A host reboot takes the tmux
+ * server down with it, so there is nothing to attach to and the pane has to be
+ * created again. This module holds the decision half of that second case, kept
+ * free of tmux and disk access so it can be unit tested without either. Every
+ * observation it reads is gathered by the caller and passed in.
+ *
+ * "Eligible" here means a session the user did not end on purpose. The rule that
+ * an intentional kill or detach is never auto-revived is enforced at runtime by
+ * an in-memory guard in `TmuxManager`, and memory does not survive a reboot. The
+ * durable equivalent is the record `cleanupSession()` leaves behind. An unpinned
+ * kill deletes the record outright, so it is already absent here. A pinned kill
+ * goes through `demoteOrRemoveSession()` and lands as `status: 'stopped'`, which
+ * is the marker this module refuses. Pruning keeps a pinned record WITHOUT
+ * touching its status, so a pinned session a reboot killed still reads `idle` or
+ * `busy` and stays eligible.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ Ending the AGENT rather than the session is a shape this module CANNOT
+ * recognise today, and a reboot restores it. `/exit` ends the CLI inside the
+ * pane, `remain-on-exit` keeps the pane, and the PTY Codeman owns is the
+ * `tmux attach-session` process, which stays alive throughout — so no exit
+ * handler runs, no lifecycle `exit` is logged, and the record keeps both its pid
+ * and `status: 'idle'`. Nothing durable distinguishes it from a session that was
+ * simply idle when the power went. Ark0N/Codeman#446 covers making Codeman
+ * notice the dead pane; until a record can say the agent is gone, this pass will
+ * offer those sessions back, and the user dismisses or closes them.
+ *
+ * The `pid` check below is therefore NOT that rule. It refuses a record whose
+ * attach process was already gone, which is a session that never started or
+ * whose pane died outright.

+ * The rule: after a write that carried a carriage return, read the pane on a short

+   * replays exactly that tail; discarding it drops the CLI's output for the
+   * rest of the load window, and its next partial redraw then lands on a frame
+   * the terminal never received.
+   *
+   * A `history` payload is the server's byte buffer alone: the direct-PTY
+   * fallback, or a mux pane whose capture came back empty. The route reads
+   * that buffer in the same synchronous tick it takes the capture, so it is
+   * current up to the route's own read and no further, which is the same
+   * exposure. It deliberately keeps the pre-existing discard all the same:
+   * both cases are rare, neither has been measured, and a duplicated Ink
+   * redraw is more visible than a few milliseconds of missing output.
+   * `capturedFromMux` below is the one line to widen if either turns out to
+   * matter.
+   *
+   * `headersReceivedAt` is the caller's own `performance.now()` reading from
+   * the moment the response arrived, compared only against other client-side
+   * readings, so there is no clock skew to worry about.
+   *
+   * What this cutoff does NOT cover, and there are two contributors. The
+   * server appends output to the byte buffer and emits it in the same tick,
+   * but BROADCASTS on a batch timer (8ms over WebSocket, 16 to 50ms over SSE),
+   * and the terminal route runs synchronously from `capture-pane` to its
+   * return, so a batch already pending when the capture ran leaves the server
+   * after the reply, arrives after `headersReceivedAt`, and is replayed
+   * although the capture holds it. Separately, `captureActivePaneBuffer` is
+   * `execSync`, which blocks the event loop for the whole capture: anything
+   * tmux had already painted into the pane that the server had not yet read
+   * from the attach PTY is in the capture too, is broadcast only after the
+   * reply, and replays the same way. The duplicate is one batch interval plus

+/**
+ * @fileoverview Reboot-restore banner: offer back the sessions a host reboot destroyed.
+ *
+ * A host reboot takes the tmux server down with it, so every session's pane dies
+ * and the board comes up empty. The server works out what was running from the
+ * records it still holds at boot, and this banner asks the user whether to
+ * rebuild them. Nothing is created until they click, because the server's
+ * reboot guess is a heuristic and a wrong automatic restore would spawn CLI
+ * processes nobody asked for.
+ *
+ * Seeded from `GET /api/reboot-restore` on init and again on every SSE reconnect,
+ * because the tab most likely to want this is one that was open across the reboot
+ * and reconnects to a server that came back up with an empty board. Restore posts to
+ * `POST /api/reboot-restore/restore` and Dismiss posts to
+ * `POST /api/reboot-restore/dismiss`. Dismiss always clears the banner; Restore
+ * re-reads the plan afterwards, because the server puts back anything it could
+ * not build for a reason that may pass, such as a session limit or an agent that
+ * would not start. The restored sessions arrive as ordinary `session:created`
+ * events, so no extra rendering is needed here.
+ *
+ * The banner says that terminal history did not survive, because a restored
+ * session is a new pane: the conversation continues and the scrollback does not.
+ * Saying so is what keeps an empty pane from reading as a broken restore.
+ * Backend: src/web/reboot-restore-registry.ts, src/web/routes/reboot-restore-routes.ts.

+/**
+ * @fileoverview The pending restore plan: what a host reboot destroyed, waiting on a click.
+ *
+ * The boot pass builds this plan inside `restoreMuxSessions()`, in the window
+ * where reconciliation has reported the dead sessions and `cleanupStaleSessions()`
+ * has not pruned their records yet. The board then offers "restore N sessions
+ * from before the reboot", and `web/routes/reboot-restore-routes` spends the plan
+ * when the user clicks.
+ *
+ * Invariants:
+ * - Entries are in-memory only. A server restart drops the plan, and nothing
+ *   re-builds it, because the records it was built from are pruned by then.
+ *   That costs the convenience this feature adds and never the conversation:
+ *   the conversation IS the transcript under `~/.claude/projects`, which
+ *   `services/unified-session-service.ts` reads for the Welcome screen's Resume
+ *   list and the Session Manager, and `resumeHistorySession()` in
+ *   `web/public/terminal-ui.js` resumes from a row there with no persisted
+ *   session record involved. A dropped plan therefore returns the user to
+ *   resuming by hand, one at a time, which is where they are without this
+ *   feature. What the plan held that a transcript does not is the owner, the
+ *   name, the env overrides, the effort and the lineage.
+ * - Module-level singleton in the style of `web/approval-inbox.ts`: no `Session`
+ *   import and no IO, which keeps it unit-testable and cycle-free.
+ * - Spending is take-then-build: `take()` removes entries synchronously, before
+ *   the route's first `await`, so a double-click or two devices cannot both
+ *   reach the same entry and put two panes on one conversation.
+ * - One restore runs at a time per owner. `beginSpending()` single-flights the
+ *   route, so two concurrent clicks cannot interleave pane creation for the same
+ *   user, while two different users never block each other.

+/**
+ * @fileoverview Reboot-restore routes: offer back the sessions a host reboot destroyed.
+ *
+ * The boot pass leaves a plan in `web/reboot-restore-registry` when the machine
+ * plausibly rebooted. The board reads it, shows a banner, and the user decides:
+ * - `GET  /api/reboot-restore`: what is on offer, ownership-scoped
+ * - `POST /api/reboot-restore/restore`: rebuild some or all of it
+ * - `POST /api/reboot-restore/dismiss`: drop the offer
+ *
+ * A click, not the heuristic, is what creates panes. The heuristic only decides
+ * whether the banner appears, so a wrong yes costs a line of text the user
+ * dismisses rather than N CLI processes nobody asked for.
+ *
+ * Rebuilding is take-then-build: entries leave the plan synchronously at the top
+ * of the route, before the first `await`, and the whole route is single-flighted,
+ * so a double-click or two devices cannot put two panes on one conversation.
+ * Three things are re-checked at click time rather than trusted from boot: the
+ * owner's privilege grant, the workspace still being on disk, and the
+ * conversation not already being live because the user resumed it by hand.
+ *
+ * A rebuilt session comes back attached, idle and disarmed. Respawn controllers
+ * and Ralph loops are deliberately not re-armed, and its terminal scrollback is
+ * gone, because the pane is new. The banner says so.

- * allowlisted `envOverrides` prefixes (schemas.ts) — which they have to be, since
- * that is also how a user configures the harness's non-privileged knobs.
- *
- * - `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE` IS the harness's permission switch. Every other CLI's
- *   bypass is a command-line FLAG, reachable only through the per-CLI config the
- *   clamp already owns; this one is an env var, so the config clamp alone is
- *   half a gate.
- * - `DSH_HOME` points the launcher at a profile tree, and a profile's plugin code
- *   executes at BOOT, before any approval row can apply. A user who can write a
- *   workspace can put a profile in it, so this is the wider of the two.
- * - `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` aims the provider endpoint, and `_configureCliEnv()`
- *   forwards the SERVER's own `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` into every dsh pane before
- *   `applyEnvOverrides()` runs — so a non-granted owner who could set the base
- *   URL would have the operator's API key sent as a bearer credential to a host
- *   of their choosing. (`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` itself stays overridable: supplying
- *   your OWN key removes privilege rather than granting it.)
- * - `OMP_AUTH_BROKER_URL`/`OMP_AUTH_BROKER_TOKEN` are where omp resolves
- *   credentials from — the same shape as `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` above, reachable
- *   because `OMP_*` is an allowlisted prefix. Unlike DeepSeek, Codeman does not
- *   forward any operator-held key into an omp pane today (omp's provider
- *   credentials live in `~/.omp` config files, not env vars), so there is no
- *   known concrete exfiltration path yet — clamped defensively anyway, since a
- *   non-granted owner redirecting where a shared multi-tenant deployment
- *   resolves auth from is not something to allow silently (found in
- *   Ark0N/Codeman#353 review; omp's own knobs are otherwise mostly `PI_*`,
- *   already allowlisted for pi and not addressed here — see resolveOmpHome()).

+ * registry in `src/web/reboot-restore-registry.ts` holds that offer between the
+ * boot that builds it and the click that spends it. The third is the claim the
+ * whole feature rests on: a `Session` built the way `restoreMuxSessions()`
+ * already builds one, but given no `muxSession` and a `resumeSessionId`, creates
+ * a fresh pane that resumes the old conversation. If that holds, the restore
+ * needs no new session-creation service.
+ *
+ * `reconcileSessions()` reports every session ALIVE under vitest, so the
+ * server's own boot pass cannot be reached from here. The decision logic is
+ * therefore driven directly, and the construction claim is driven through a real
+ * `Session` against the in-memory tmux layer vitest substitutes.
