feat(tabs,header): group tabs by state and add header stats styles (#426)

Two directions from Discussion #426, each a per-device setting and the
new default.

Tab Grouping (tabGrouping: 'state' | 'none', default 'state', option C):
tabs are grouped needs you (red, plus failed sessions), waiting (yellow),
working and idle (also ended, exited panes and web tabs), most urgent on
top. The desktop header strip draws a row per group with its label and
count in a left gutter; the flat vertical rail and the sidebar draw a
section per group; tablets keep their scrolling row with inline dividers;
phones keep the chip row in group order without headings. Classification
is the home screens' own (_mobileOverviewState/_mobileOverviewExit), the
fold into four groups is pure in CodemanTabTriage (constants.js). It is
flex `order` plus aria-hidden heading/break elements reconciled in place
after both render paths, never a DOM reorder, so Alt+N, the keyboard walk
and drag keep reading tab order; a drop is refused across groups. Named
groups in the vertical rail take precedence.

Header Stats Style (headerStatsStyle: 'classic' | 'compact' | 'tiles',
default 'tiles', option G): tiles give WS, CPU, MEM and each plan window
a label-over-value tile with a bar underneath; compact is one WS/CPU/MEM
pill with sparklines plus a plan-ring pill; classic is the header as
before. Desktop only (classic below 768px and in solo windows). The
clustered styles move #connectionIndicator into #headerSystemStats and
#planUsageChip after it, and classic moves them back to comment anchors;
WS stays out of a hidden System Stats pill. The extra parts are always
rendered and hidden by default in CSS, so classic is unchanged.

Tests: test/tab-triage.test.ts, test/header-stats-style.test.ts; three
source pins in test/tab-rail-order.test.ts follow renamed lines.

+### Minor Changes
+
+- 6aecc3b: ### Thanks
+  - @opticon454 for four PRs in one batch: webhook notifications (#523), MCP server sync (#521), the Shift+Enter keypress fix (#520) and the newline chord plus Key tester (#522). Every review item was answered in one round, and the merge-order map across all four made landing them together easy.
+  - @aakhter for the grouped vertical rail (#517) and its ARIA tree and full-row activation (#519), which give the owner tab-layout API its first frontend, and for the iOS IME composition preview (#499), carried through three careful review rounds including the overlay rework in the zerolag package.
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for per-session Claude models on `POST /api/sessions` (#514) and Codex reasoning effort per session (#515), both kept registry-driven with no CLI id branching.
+  - @timkjr for keeping Pane B painting during a history pull and its "disconnected" marker last in every interleaving (#524), with an old-versus-new table measured in real Chrome.
+
+  **Webhook notifications (#523).** Settings → Notifications → Webhook posts the same events as Web Push (permission prompts, questions, errors, idle) to ntfy, Slack, Discord or any JSON URL, so a headless server can reach a phone with no browser open. Off by default. The URL is a bearer secret: it lives in its own 0600 file (`~/.codeman/webhook.json`), is never returned by the API, and the routes (`GET`/`PUT /api/webhook`, `POST /api/webhook/test`) are admin only in multi-user mode. Delivery goes through the web-tab egress guard (link-local and cloud-metadata targets refused), does not follow redirects, times out after 5 s, dedupes repeats, and neutralises `@everyone`/Slack control characters in agent-supplied text.
+
+  **MCP server sync (#521).** Opt-in (`mcpSyncEnabled`, synced, off by default; `GET`/`POST /api/mcp-sync` answer 403 until it is on). Settings → Agents & CLIs → MCP servers previews or copies each installed, enabled CLI's MCP servers into the others' own config files (Claude, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity). It only adds missing servers, never edits or removes one, skips servers you switched off, keeps a `.codeman-bak` of every file it changes, re-parses the result before writing, writes through symlinked dotfiles, leaves files that receive env values or headers readable by you only, and reports same-name conflicts instead of overwriting. CLIs with no known MCP config (Pi, Grok, OMP, DeepSeek) are listed as unsupported. Adds the `smol-toml` dependency to read Codex's `config.toml` safely.
+
+  **Claude advisor tool.** Claude Code's experimental advisor (a stronger model the session's main model consults at decision points) can now be set per session: an `advisorModel` field on `POST /api/sessions`, `POST /api/quick-start` and `POST /api/ralph-loop/start` (`fable`, `opus`, `sonnet`, or a full id in those families), and a synced App Settings default under Models → Advisor. It rides the launch's one `--settings` JSON rather than the `--advisor` flag, because the flag exits at launch on any pairing the CLI refuses and would leave a dead pane on every respawn. It is persisted, so respawns and both restore paths keep it, and `/advisor` still switches it in-session. Agents using the codeman skill can give their claude workers one with `CODEMAN_WORKER_ADVISOR=opus`.
+
+  **Per-session Claude model (#514) and Codex reasoning effort (#515).** `POST /api/sessions` takes an optional `model` that launches that one Claude session with `claude --model <id>` and writes nothing to disk (`modelOverride` still writes the case default). It is persisted, so both recovery paths relaunch on it. `codexConfig.reasoningEffort` starts a codex session at a chosen effort (`--config model_reasoning_effort=<level>`), and it survives respawn and resume.
+
+  **Grouped vertical rail (#517, #519).** When the owner has tab groups (`/api/tab-layout`), the vertical rail draws them as collapsible sections, with collapse remembered per device, the active row always visible, and lineage arcs anchored to a collapsed group's header. The grouped rail is an ARIA tree with one tab stop and the standard arrow-key model. With no groups, the rail is unchanged byte for byte. Editing groups from the browser comes in a follow-up.
+
+  **iOS IME composition preview (#499).** On iOS Safari, the text an IME is composing (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and the predictive composition on English keyboards) is now drawn in the terminal before it commits, inside the local-echo overlay when local echo is on. Inert on every other platform. The `xterm-zerolag-input` package gains `setComposition()`.
+
+  **Key tester and newline chord (#522).** Settings → Terminal & Input has a Key tester that shows the keydown/keypress/keyup events the browser reports, to diagnose a device where a shortcut behaves differently. Keys pressed in it never trigger app shortcuts. Shift+Enter's newline chord is now CLI registry data (`capabilities.newline`, line feed by default); no stock CLI changes.
+
+  **Fixes.** Shift+Enter no longer submits the prompt after inserting the newline: the key handler swallowed only `keydown`, so xterm's `keypress` still sent a bare `\r` (#520). Claude sessions created at the same moment (`spawn_workers`, a multi-tab Run) no longer fall out of tmux onto the direct-PTY fallback: the statusLine exporter's temp file name collided within one millisecond (#531). Pane B of the split view keeps painting during a history pull, and its "disconnected" marker stays the last line however a close, a pull and a refresh interleave (#524).
+
+  **Fixes applied while landing.** Webhooks: the App Settings Save button now saves webhook edits too (a refused URL keeps the dialog open with a warning), Send test saves pending edits first, and a Remove URL button clears a saved URL. MCP sync: a config file that fails to parse is reported by line and column only, never by quoting its content, which can hold API keys; the sync follows `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, `CODEX_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `GEMINI_CLI_HOME` from the server's environment and skips a target it cannot place instead of writing a file the CLI never reads; Preview before saving says to save first; and the MCP group is hidden from non-admins in multi-user mode. Grouped rail: a collapsed group's header shows the red or yellow ring of a hidden row that needs you; layout reads rebuild the rail only when something it draws changed, and failed reads back off (5, 10, 20, 40 s) instead of retrying every 5 s forever; a corrupted collapse preference resets instead of disabling collapse; Ctrl+Shift+{ / } only moves a tab within its own group; tapping a group header or row no longer dismisses the phone keyboard; keys pressed on a row's own buttons no longer move tree focus; and screen-reader positions stay correct after a re-sort. Sessions: `model` on `POST /api/sessions` refuses a value starting with a dash, and `model` or `advisorModel` together with `attachRemoteSession` is now a 400 instead of being ignored; non-Claude sessions no longer report or persist Claude's default model. Split view: a refresh queued behind a history pull no longer leaves a second, stale "disconnected" marker above its replay. iOS IME: a composition on an empty prompt now follows the prompt when output or a resize moves it, and the `xterm-zerolag-input` README documents `setComposition()`. The Shift+Enter and Key tester browser tests now drive the shipped handlers instead of copies.

+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- f776ad8: ### Thanks
+  - @JDProfresh for rendering Markdown in the File Viewer (#503) through the chat's existing markdown pipeline and sanitizer rather than a second one, plus the Lines and Wrap toggles and the sanitizer fix that stops a document from clobbering `document.app`.
+  - @timkjr for bringing the Shell scroll-to-top history pull to the split view's second pane (#506), following #494's rules down to the back-off, with tests that fail on the code before each fix.
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for the `#session=<id>` dashboard link (#507), so a page that keeps one Codeman window open can switch it between sessions without reloading it.
+  - @dignfei for handing focus back when the Command Palette or the Session Manager closes (#509), and for the six-overlay measurement that showed exactly which two were broken.
+
+  **Markdown files render in the File Viewer (#503).** Opening a `.md` or `.markdown` file now shows it as a document: headings, tables, code blocks with the same copy buttons as the chat, images relative to the file, and links to other documents that open inside the viewer. An `MD` pill switches back to the source, and Edit works from either view. Plain text gets a `Lines` gutter (never part of a copy) and a `Wrap` toggle, all three remembered per device. `.avif` images preview inline, and printed `.avif`/`.ico` paths open the viewer instead of the tail view. An in-workspace file path clicked in the terminal still opens the live tail view.
+
+  **Link a dashboard window to a session (#507).** An outside page, such as a task board, that keeps one Codeman window open can now switch it to a session by pointing it at `/#session=<id>`. Only the fragment changes, so the page stays loaded and the switch is an ordinary tab selection. A link to a session the dashboard does not list yet waits up to 30 seconds for it to appear and then shows "Session not found"; picking another tab, going Home or opening a web tab cancels the wait. Following a link does not count as looking at the session, so its idle alert stays armed. The fragment is documented in `docs/extending-codeman.md` and is now a stable surface under `docs/versioning-policy.md`.
+
+  **Escape no longer strands the keyboard (#509).** Closing the Command Palette or the Session Manager now hands focus back to whatever held it before they opened, usually the terminal, so you can keep typing without clicking first. An Escape pressed while neither is open changes nothing.
+
+  **Split view: a Shell Pane B scrolls back into tmux history (#506).** Wheel up at the top of a Shell session in the split view's second pane now pulls the most recent 1 MiB of its tmux history and keeps your place, the same as the primary pane since 1.33.2.
+
+  **Fixes applied while landing.** Markdown opened from an attachment card no longer resolves relative images and links against the workspace root, where they could show a missing image or open a different file of the same name; they render as their alt text and link text instead. Rendered files no longer turn every source line break into a hard break the way chat messages do, so a README wrapped at 80 columns reads as flowing paragraphs. Absolute-path links inside a rendered document open in that document's session. A disconnected Pane B keeps its "disconnected" marker as the last line even when the socket closes in the middle of a history pull. Closing the Session Manager through a row's "Switch to session" or "Open folder" no longer pulls focus back from the terminal to the header button.

+### Patch Changes
+
+- e439cf0: ### Thanks
+  - @aakhter for keeping web-tab events private to their owner in multi-user mode (#501), with end-to-end isolation tests that fail without the fix, and for the browser-test exclusion check and pre-push hook (#500), including the hooks-dir resolution that never writes outside the repo's own `.git/hooks`.
+  - @opticon454 for keeping CLIs installed from Settings across Docker container updates (#490) and for the static Git identity for the Docker images (#492).
+  - @timkjr for letting a Shell pane's scroll-to-top reach tmux history (#494), with tests that fail on the commit before each fix.
+  - @JDProfresh for tracking down why wheel and touch scrolling did nothing in Claude's default inline view (#498), with the tmux measurements that proved it.
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for the follow-up that makes an agent waiting on artifact comments raise its alert again (#491).
+
+  **A tab stays busy while Claude waits for its own workers.** When Claude hands work to an ultracode workflow or background agents, it ends its turn with `✻ Waiting for 1 dynamic workflow to finish` and resumes by itself when they report back. The idle probe used to call that session idle for the whole wait, and at phone width nothing on screen changes for minutes. A new optional registry field, `capabilities.workDetect.awaitingLine`, names that closing row, and only the newest column-0 row directly above the composer counts, so the session goes idle normally once the follow-up turn ends.
+
+  **Prompts sent through the API are no longer left unsent.** A prompt posted to `POST /api/sessions/:id/input` without `useMux` was written into the pane in one piece, and Claude Code (measured on 2.1.283) takes a burst of about a hundred characters or more as a paste, so the trailing `\r` became a newline and the prompt sat on the composer while the route answered 200. Short prompts went through, which is why it looked random; Codex and OpenCode showed the same thing. A plain prompt (printable text plus exactly one trailing `\r`) now goes through tmux: the text is typed, Enter is pressed as its own key, and the server presses it again while the prompt is still on the composer. Raw frames (escape sequences, a bracketed paste, a line feed, a bare `\r`) and an explicit `"useMux": false` keep the direct write. The same fix reaches cron jobs in "Paste (direct)" input mode, which reported `prompt_sent` for a prompt that never left the composer: the text is written raw, Enter follows as its own write 300 ms later, and the session presses it again while the prompt is still unsent. A cron run with no session to write to now fails instead of reporting the prompt as sent.
+
+  **Scrolling works again in Claude's default inline view (#498).** Wheel and touch gestures were forwarded to every Claude 2.1.187+ session as mouse reports, but only Claude's fullscreen renderer (`CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1`, or `"tui": "fullscreen"` in `~/.claude/settings.json`) listens for them, so in the default view scrolling did nothing. Codeman now forwards them only while Claude has mouse tracking switched on, and otherwise scrolls the terminal's own scrollback.
+
+  **Shell panes scroll back into tmux history (#494).** Scrolling to the top of a Shell pane now pulls the most recent 1 MiB of its tmux history, so output that arrived in a burst is reachable without pressing **Load full history**, which still loads the rest.
+
+  **An agent waiting on artifact comments alerts again (#491).** A session whose agent published an artifact and is waiting for somebody to comment on it now raises the normal idle alert and lands in NEEDS YOU, instead of being treated as busy with background work.
+
+  **Web-tab changes stay private in multi-user mode (#501).** The `webview:changed` event reached every connected user, exposing the ids of other users' web-tab creates, edits and deletes. It now carries the tab's owner and reaches that owner plus admins only. Single-user mode is unchanged apart from a new optional `owner` field on the event.
+
+  **Phone header tabs look like tabs (#504).** On phones every header tab is now a chip with a fill and a border, the Alt+N digit (a keyboard hint a phone cannot use) is hidden, names get 80px instead of 50px, and the strip fades at whichever edge still has tabs scrolled out of view.
+
+  **Docker: CLIs installed from Settings survive container updates (#490).** On the Compose deployment, CLIs installed from App Settings (DeepSeek, Pi and other npm-based CLIs) now go to `~/.local` on the persistent home mount, and `~/.local/bin` is on the image PATH, so recreating the container no longer discards them. Anything installed from Settings before this release has to be installed once more after the rebuild.
+
+  **Docker: a static Git identity for the server and agent images (#492).** Set `GIT_USER_NAME` and `GIT_USER_EMAIL` in `docker/.env` (or `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_GIT_USER_NAME` / `CODEMAN_AGENT_IMAGE_GIT_USER_EMAIL` on a bare-host install) and the identity is written to `/etc/gitconfig` in the server image and the Docker-case agent image. A half-set pair is refused on every build path. Both Docker changes edit `server.Dockerfile`, so the in-app updater asks Compose deployments to rebuild with `docker/Start-Codeman.sh` instead of updating in place.
+
+  **Contributor tooling (#500).** `npm run check:browser-excludes`, now a CI step, fails when a test that drives a real browser is still collected by `npm test`. `npm install` also installs a pre-push hook that runs the static CI checks before a push; it steps aside when the pushed ref is not HEAD or the tree has uncommitted changes the checks would read, and `CODEMAN_SKIP_PREPUSH=1 git push` skips it once.
+
+  **Fixes applied while landing.** A Shell pane's scroll-to-top (#494) no longer re-pulls the same window on every gesture once the browser's 50,000-row scrollback is full, and a pull that hit the byte cap no longer claims the older history is gone. The scroll-routing diagnostics (#498) now log whether Claude has mouse tracking on. The artifact-comment check (#491) also refuses a footer cut off in the middle of the chip. The pre-push hook (#500) steps aside when `npm` is not on PATH, as in some GUI git clients, instead of blocking every push. The Docker Git identity error (#492) names the two variables to set. New tests pin the image PATH order, the identity on both agent-image build paths, and the `?full=1&tail=` terminal route.
+

+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- ### Thanks
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for closing sessions whose agent exited cleanly (#486), built carefully around every way a pane exit can lie (a SIGKILL with no status, a single misread), with the `.claude-images` guard split into its own commit as asked.
+  - @opticon454 for the live-refreshing case picker and Manage search (#483), and for the uv/uvx, libsecret and pnpm additions to the Docker images (#487, #485).
+
+  **Finished sessions close themselves (#486).** A session whose agent you ended with `/exit` is now closed the same way the X button closes it, so finished sessions stop piling up on the board; the conversation stays resumable from the Resume list and the lifecycle log records "agent exited cleanly (status 0)". Only an explicit exit status 0 with no signal, confirmed by two pane reads, qualifies: a crashed or OOM-killed agent keeps its row with the exit code on the tab. The phone overview and desktop home rail now say `exited` instead of `idle`, reboot restore no longer offers to rebuild a session whose agent had exited, and closing one session no longer deletes the `.claude-images` directory that a sibling session in the same case still uses. Thanks @irisitymichaelgrundberg.
+
+  **Search in the phone Select Case sheet (#488).** The bottom sheet gains a "Search cases" field that filters by name (every word must match, any order, ignoring case), Enter picks the case when exactly one row is left, and Escape clears then closes. Also fixes a dead band under Create New Case and a list shorter than the sheet could show.
+
+  **An oversized paste no longer jams a session's input (#484).** A single input over the 64 KiB frame limit used to be refused by both transports, retried every 2 s forever, block every later input for that session and come back from localStorage on each reload. Pastes over the limit are now split into in-limit frames delivered in order (up to 1 MiB; larger ones are refused with a toast and never queued), a refused frame is dropped instead of retried, frames persisted by an older build are pruned on load, and the WebSocket answers an oversized frame with an explicit `too_large` error instead of silence.
+
+- 8841bcc: Add a search box to the Manage tab of the Add Case dialog. It filters the case list by name or path, and the reorder arrows are disabled while a filter is active so a swap cannot involve a hidden case.
+- 8841bcc: The case picker now refreshes its list from `/api/cases` when it opens and every 5 seconds while it stays open, so folders deleted or created on disk appear without a page reload. If the selected case has been removed, the picker falls back to another case without saving it as the last-used one.
+
+  Thanks @opticon454.
+
+- 77ba41f: Install `uv` and `uvx` in the Compose server image and the agent image, so MCP servers launched with `uvx` (such as the Nginx Proxy Manager MCP) can be enabled by Codex instead of failing with `uvx` not found. Both images also install `libsecret-1-0`, the native library the `keytar` dependency of the Azure DevOps MCP (`@azure-devops/mcp`) needs; without it the server crashes before answering the MCP initialize handshake.
+
+  The Compose server image now also carries `pnpm`: `dsh plugin` spawns a literal `pnpm` with no npm fallback, so the Run menu's "DeepSeek - add a terminal profile" button failed with `dsh: pnpm not found on PATH` there. Because this release changes `server.Dockerfile`, the in-app updater asks Compose deployments to rebuild the image (`Update-Codeman.sh`) rather than applying it in place.
+
+  Thanks @opticon454 (#487, #485).
+
+## 1.33.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- CLI management from Settings (#476, finishing the CLI registry work from #343). `~/.codeman/clis.json` used to be hand-edit only; with the new opt-in `cliManagementEnabled` switch (synced, default OFF) App Settings → Agents & CLIs can enable or disable any CLI, install a missing stock CLI with its vetted install command, and add, edit or remove custom CLIs. Six new endpoints back it (`GET`/`POST /api/clis`, `PUT /api/clis/:id`, `POST /api/clis/:id/install`, `PUT /api/clis/custom/:id`, `DELETE /api/clis/:id`), documented in `docs/api-reference.md`. Every write is refused while the switch is off, is admin-only in multi-user mode, is serialized on one queue, and refuses to overwrite a `clis.json` that does not parse or has group/world permission bits. A custom entry is re-validated through the same schema as the stock ones and its install text is never executed. `shell` cannot be disabled. The Run menu and the welcome screen are now built from the enabled catalogue, so the welcome screen also offers Codex, Shell and any custom CLI, and the stock Claude entry is labelled "Claude Code".
+
+  Models: Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`, 1M context capable) is offered in App Settings → Models and in task routing (#480).
+
+  Self-update: on a macOS `launchd-daemon` install, a Homebrew node upgrade could leave `update-status.json` stuck at `queued`, which made every later update fail with "An update is already in progress." The updater now falls back to `node` on PATH when the server's own node binary is gone, and an in-flight status that has not been written for 15 minutes is failed on the next read. A graceful shutdown that hangs is now force-exited after 10 s (and the launchd updater SIGKILLs a server that has not exited after 30 s), so launchd can start the new build instead of leaving the service down (#478). Both fixes protect updates that start FROM this release.
+
+  Session Manager (Cmd+K): rows keep their `mode`, `claudeSessionId` and `resumeId`, so the ⋯ menu's Resume session relaunches a Codex row as Codex on its own conversation, and the mode badge shows as it does on the home list (#477).
+
+  Maintainer fixes applied while landing #457: renaming a tab to the name it already has (the Session Options field saves on blur) is now a no-op, so it no longer pins the placeholder as the `/resume` title again; Docker sessions skip the transcript title sync, since their transcript lives in the container; and the agent skill's messaging examples no longer use a `w<N>-` name as the peer name.
+
+  Tests: the suite strips every inherited `CODEMAN_*` variable, so running it inside a Docker Compose deployment no longer writes into the deployment's real case root (#479).
+
+  ### Thanks
+  - @opticon454 for CLI management (#476), the last piece of the CLI registry, with every review item answered in one round, and for splitting the test isolation fix out into #479.
+  - @shenlvkang-collab for the `/resume` title fix (#457) and the careful diagnosis behind it.
+  - @julian3xl for the Session Manager row fix (#477), their first contribution.
+
+### Patch Changes
+
+- 69a7128: fix(sessions): stop pinning the `w1-myapp` placeholder as Claude's session title. Local Claude spawns passed the tab name as `--name`, which is also the `/resume` picker entry and the terminal title, and a pinned title stops Claude generating its own, so every conversation of a case showed up in `/resume` as the same `w1-myapp` and none got a generated title. Only a name the user chose is pinned now; placeholder and auto-named tabs let Claude title the conversation again. Renaming a Claude tab also reaches `/resume`: the new name is appended to the conversation's transcript as the `custom-title` row `/rename` writes (a tab that was spawned with `--name` keeps re-appending its own title until its next respawn, so the rename wins from then on). Orchestrators that rely on a fixed peer name should give workers a descriptive `sessionName` rather than a `w<N>-` one.

To deploy frontend-only changes past a blocked `tsc`, run the asset stage of `scripts/build.mjs` (everything after the `tsc`/`chmod` lines is independent of it).
+- **A pre-push failure in a file you did not touch is another session's WIP.** Push with `CODEMAN_SKIP_PREPUSH=1 git push` and leave it alone. (The hook already skips itself when the tree has uncommitted changes in a path it checks, so this mostly happens once the other session has committed.)

 ## Common Gotchas
 
-- **Single-line prompts only** — `writeViaMux()` sends text+Enter separately; multi-line breaks Ink. ⚠️ **Input must END with `\r` or Enter is never sent**: `sendInput()` only issues `send-keys Enter` when the payload contains a carriage return, a `\r`-less `POST /api/sessions/:id/input` still succeeds (send-and-wait even reports `delivered:true`) while the text sits unsubmitted on the composer, and any `wait` burns its whole timeout on a turn that never started. Embedded newlines are stripped, not rejected, so `"echo A\necho B\r"` runs the joined `echo Aecho B`. ⚠️ **Claude Code 2.1.277+ ignores Enter for the first 30-50 s after the composer paints** while still taking the typed text (measured 2026-09-19: an Enter at 28 s stranded the prompt, one at 51 s submitted it), so text+`\r` sent at readiness sits unsent with `0 tokens` and a `wait` burns its timeout. So the SERVER verifies every programmatic write that carried a `\r`: `SubmitVerifier` (`session-submit-verifier.ts`, armed from `writeViaMux`) reads the pane on a 2 s to 60 s schedule and re-sends Enter only while the LAST composer line (the CLI's own `promptGlyph`) verifiably still holds the head of what was sent; an empty composer, other text, or no composer line at all (a shell, a direct-PTY session) ends it, and a newer write replaces the schedule. The skill's `sendwait` keeps its own copy of the loop (`_composer_text` in `skills/codeman/preamble.sh`) for servers that predate this. The `shift+tab` footer only means the composer painted, never that Enter is accepted

The `shift+tab` footer only means the composer painted, never that Enter is accepted. ⚠️ **A prompt must never be written into the pane as ONE burst**: Claude Code 2.1.283 takes a `<text>\r` burst of ~100+ chars as a paste, its `\r` lands as a NEWLINE and the prompt strands (a later raw `\r` does not recover it, a tmux `send-keys Enter` does). So `POST .../input` routes a plain prompt (`isPlainPromptInput()`, route-helpers.ts: printable text + exactly one trailing `\r`) through `writeViaMux` even without `useMux`, AWAITED so the browser's serialized POST fallback keeps frame order; raw frames and an explicit `useMux:false` keep the direct write
 - **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)
 - **`envOverrides` flow `CLAUDE_CODE_*` / `OPENCODE_*` / `CODEX_*` / `GEMINI_*` / `GOOGLE_*` / `ANTIGRAVITY_*` / `PI_*` / `GROK_*` / `XAI_*` / `DSH_*` / `DEEPSEEK_*` env vars, plus exact-key `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`** — Set via `POST /api/sessions { envOverrides }`, stored on `Session._envOverrides`, exported by `tmux-manager.buildEnvExports()` at spawn time, persisted in `SessionState.envOverrides`. **Do NOT** write these to `<case>/.claude/settings.local.json` — that's the old path and creates UI/disk drift. (`GOOGLE_*` is the deliberately-broad Vertex-AI namespace for Gemini — see Multi-CLI prefix discipline.) `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` (#255, exact match via `ALLOWED_ENV_KEYS` in `schemas.ts`) points a session at a separate Claude account/config dir for per-client subscriptions; it persists to state.json (a path, not a secret; losing it on restart would silently switch accounts). ⚠️ A relocated config dir writes transcripts outside `~/.claude/projects`, so the response viewer, subagent windows, ultracode panel and Read My Mind capture go blind for that session unless the user symlinks `projects` back into the shared tree (`ln -s ~/.claude/projects <configDir>/projects`). ⚠️ It is also one of claude's `privilegedEnvKeys` (Custom Model Endpoint Profiles, since it can redirect a session's traffic same as any other injected var), so in multi-user mode setting it via `envOverrides` is admin-only, and a non-granted owner's already-persisted `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` is stripped on reboot-restore — silently returning that session to the default Claude account rather than the one it was pointed at (see `session-env-clamp.ts`). → [architecture-invariants#per-session-env-overrides-exact-key-allowlist-and-claude_config_dir](docs/architecture-invariants.md#per-session-env-overrides-exact-key-allowlist-and-claude_config_dir)
 - **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
+- **The advisor rides `--settings`, NEVER the `--advisor` flag**: Claude Code's advisor tool (a stronger model consulted at decision points, code.claude.com/docs/en/advisor) flows as the `advisorModel` payload field → `Session._advisorModel` (persisted, so respawn and reboot restore keep it) → the `advisorModel` key in the launch's ONE `--settings` JSON, merged with ultracode and the statusLine exporter by `buildAdvisorSettings()` (`session-cli-builder.ts`). ⚠️ The flag EXITS at launch on any pairing the CLI refuses (`claude --advisor haiku` exits 1, so does Fable before its usage-credit consent), which would leave a dead pane on every respawn; the settings key degrades to "no advisor" instead. ⚠️ `isAdvisorModel()` (fable/opus/sonnet aliases or full ids, no haiku) is also the injection guard for the single-quoted argument. Soft default: `/advisor` still switches it in-session. App Settings key `claudeAdvisorModel` (SYNCED, `''` = leave it to the CLI). Remote/docker quick-start refuses it, like `effort`, and so does a remote attach on `POST /api/sessions`. Tests: `test/advisor-model.test.ts`
+- **Model choice: a persistent default in `settings.local.json`, a per-session `--model`, never 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. A caller that wants one session on a model without touching the case sends `model` on `POST /api/sessions` instead: it goes out as `claude --model <id>`, writes nothing, wins over the app-wide default, and is persisted as `SessionState.model` so both recovery paths relaunch on it (`test/routes/session-routes-claude-model.test.ts`, `test/session-model-recovery.test.ts`). ⚠️ Claude only, via the `model.source` capability (`cliTakesSessionModel()`), never a mode check: refused for other CLIs and on a remote attach, and published by `toState()` for claude alone (cron hands its Claude default to every CLI with a model).
 - **Multi-CLI prefix discipline** — env-var prefix is CLI-specific (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*` vs `CODEX_*` vs `GEMINI_*` vs `ANTIGRAVITY_*` vs `PI_*` vs `GROK_*` vs `DSH_*`) and the `ALLOWED_ENV_PREFIXES` allowlist in `schemas.ts` enforces this; non-prefix exceptions are exact keys in `ALLOWED_ENV_KEYS` (currently only `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`), never a widened prefix. 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), and Grok allowlists **`XAI_*`** for the same vendor-namespace reason (`XAI_API_KEY` is grok's documented auth var). When adding a setting, decide which CLI(s) it applies to and gate the env export accordingly. Never blanket-forward all prefixes. ⚠️ Pi is the case that proves the rule: its ~34 provider keys (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `HF_TOKEN`, …) share NO prefix, and the allowlist is one GLOBAL list applied by a refine with no mode context, so admitting them for pi would widen it for every mode at once — they stay out, and pi users authenticate via `/login` or the server process's own env. ⚠️ DeepSeek repeats pi's lesson exactly: a dsh `settings.yaml` can nominate ANY env var as a provider credential (`apiKeyEnv`), so only the vendor namespaces `DSH_*` (launcher inputs incl. `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE`) and `DEEPSEEK_*` (`DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`/`DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL`) are admitted; foreign provider keys authenticate from dsh's own files or the server env. Resolver design pattern: `docs/opencode-integration.md`, `docs/pi-integration.md`, `docs/grok-integration.md`, `docs/deepseek-integration.md`
 - **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()`. This has caused real shipped bugs twice
 - **Local-echo overlay stays on screen**: the overlay lays its wrapped lines out DOWNWARD from the prompt row, and the text has not reached the PTY yet, so the CLI never learns the prompt is long and nothing scrolls to make room. With the keyboard up only a handful of rows are visible, so a long prompt used to run off the bottom and the user typed blind. The block now grows UPWARD once it would pass the last visible row (optional `totalRows` in `RenderParams`; the line divs are opaque, so they cover transcript above), and a prompt taller than the viewport keeps its TAIL. ⚠️ Separately, `_shrinkPaddingToFit()` (mobile-handlers.js) must never shrink `main`'s padding-bottom below the MEASURED height of the fixed bars: on phones the toolbar and accessory bar are `position: fixed`, so that padding is the only thing reserving room for them, and taking it pulled the terminal's bottom row behind them. Tests: `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/test/overlay-renderer.test.ts`, `test/mobile-keyboard-bottom-padding.test.ts`.

+**File Viewer text view: rendered markdown + Lines/Wrap toggles** (`_renderFilePreviewText()` in panels-ui.js): a `.md`/`.markdown` opens RENDERED by default with an `MD` pill back to source; the plain-text view has `Lines` (CSS-counter gutter) and `Wrap` toggles. ⚠️ ONE markdown pipeline: the viewer calls `_renderMarkdown(text, { breaks: false })` (marked + the DOMPurify allowlist, the Response Viewer's; chat keeps the default `breaks: true`, a file must not turn every hard wrap into a `<br>`) and binds the Response Viewer's click delegate (`_bindResponseViewerInteractions`) on the preview body for code-copy buttons and path links; never a second parser or handler. ⚠️ The document is built inside a `<template>` (a detached div with `innerHTML` set starts fetching every `<img src>` before the rewrite), then `_rebaseFilePreviewMarkdownRefs()` points relative images at the workspace-confined `file-raw` under the document's directory and root-relative ones under the workspace root (never a widened route; a failed load degrades to alt text), after `decodeURIComponent`ing the ref and dropping `?query`/`#fragment` (marked percent-encodes destinations, and the route encodes again), and turns workspace links into `a.rv-path` carrying `data-session-id` for the delegate (the linkifier's absolute paths get it too), stripping the `target` marked gave them. ⚠️ A preview opened by attachment id under a bare file name (attachment cards, history drawer: the registry keeps no relative path) has no directory, so its workspace refs degrade (images to alt text, links to their text), never resolve against the workspace root. ⚠️ The container carries `data-i18n-skip` or the translator rewrites the document's prose. ⚠️ Toggles are per-device localStorage keys (`codeman:filePreview*`), never `SettingsUpdateSchema`; Lines/Wrap are class flips on the ONE `<pre>`, with rules scoped `.file-preview-body > pre.file-preview-text` so they never leak into the document's code blocks. Markdown fetches `lines=10000` (the route ceiling), other text keeps 500. ⚠️ `md` stays OUT of `FILE_PREVIEW_EXTENSIONS`: only an IN-WORKSPACE `.md` path clicked in the TERMINAL keeps the tail viewer (live follow); the Files panel, chat paths, out-of-workspace terminal paths and attachment cards all reach `openFilePreview()` and render it.

 **Files panel search** (COD-236, the `q` param on `GET /api/sessions/:id/files`): `compileFileQuery()` (`utils/file-query.ts`, pure) compiles the query into a predicate the server-side walk prunes with; a query returns a FLAT match list and the walk recurses past non-matching directories. An empty, whitespace-only or overlong (`MAX_QUERY_LENGTH`, 256) query compiles to `null`, keeping the default tree response byte-identical. ⚠️ **Never compile a glob into a RegExp** (`*a*a*a…` backtracks and freezes the event loop for the whole server): `globMatch()` is a two-pointer wildcard walk. → [architecture-invariants#files-panel-search](docs/architecture-invariants.md#files-panel-search)
 
 **Raw file bodies are streamed and range-aware**: `file-raw`, the attachments `/raw` route and `GET /api/download` share `sendFileBody()`, advertise `Accept-Ranges: bytes` and answer `Range` with `206` + `Content-Range` (single-range, parser in `src/web/http-range.ts`); without it `<video>` cannot seek. The size cap (`MAX_FILE_DOWNLOAD_BYTES`, default 2GB, env `CODEMAN_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES`, `0` = unlimited) is a sanity bound, not memory protection; never reintroduce a whole-file buffer. ⚠️ Bodies go out via `reply.hijack()`, so `sendRawStream` must copy the status onto `reply.raw` by hand or a partial body ships as `200`. ⚠️ Closing the preview must pause and unload media (`_stopFilePreviewMedia`), since a detached `HTMLMediaElement` keeps playing. → [architecture-invariants#raw-file-bodies-streamed-and-range-aware](docs/architecture-invariants.md#raw-file-bodies-streamed-and-range-aware)

 **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.

+Result (`data`):
+
+- `applied` — `false` for the dry run.
+- `targets[]` — one per enabled CLI that declares an MCP config: `id`, `label`, `file`, `status`, `error?`, `servers` (names it already has), `added` (names added, or that would be), `skipped` (names its dialect cannot express, e.g. SSE for Codex and Antigravity).
+  - `status`: `ok`; `absent` (not installed and no config file, so not read or created); `skipped` (the CLI's relocation env var, e.g. `CODEX_HOME`, is set to a relative path in the server's environment, so its file cannot be located safely and is neither read nor written); `unreadable` (the file exists but cannot be parsed safely, so it is not written); `failed` (a read or write error, the file may be unchanged).
+  - `error` says why a target is not `ok`. A parse failure is reported by position only (`not valid TOML (line 3, column 21)`, `not valid JSON`), never with text from the file.
+  - `file` honours each CLI's own relocation env var as the server process sees it (`CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, `CODEX_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, `GEMINI_CLI_HOME`); see `docs/cli-registry.md`.
+- `conflicts[]` — names defined differently by different CLIs. Existing definitions are kept; the first CLI's is copied where the name is missing.
+- `disabled[]` — names left out because every definition is switched off in its own CLI (codex `enabled = false`, opencode `enabled: false`, antigravity `disabled: true`).
+- `unsupported[]` — labels of enabled agent CLIs with no known MCP config file (nothing is guessed).
+  - Only installed CLIs are listed: one that is not installed is left out, as a supported CLI that is not installed reads `absent`.
+
+The result carries server **names** only, never `env` values, `headers` or file content. Each changed file keeps its previous content as `<file>.codeman-bak` (overwritten by each sync); a file that receives servers carrying `env` or `headers` is left mode `0600`.
+
+## Webhook notifications
+
+Posts the Web Push events to ntfy, Slack, Discord or a generic JSON URL (Settings → Notifications). Off by default. The webhook URL is a bearer secret (anyone holding a Slack/Discord URL can post as it), so it lives in `~/.codeman/webhook.json` (0600), is **never returned**, and is kept out of `settings.json`. All three routes answer `403` for a non-admin in multi-user mode.

+| `PUT`  | `/api/webhook`       | `{ enabled?, kind?, scope?, url? }` (strict) | `kind`: `ntfy` \| `slack` \| `discord` \| `generic`. `scope`: `attention` (skip "response complete") \| `all`. An absent `url` keeps the saved one; `""` clears it. `400` for a non-http(s) URL, `user:pass@`, a link-local or cloud-metadata target, or enabling with no URL. |
+| `POST` | `/api/webhook/test`  | none                                         | Sends one message with the saved config, even while disabled. `200` with `data.ok` telling whether the webhook accepted it; `400` if no URL is saved. |
+
+Delivery goes through the same egress guard as web tabs (refused on the resolved address too), does not follow redirects, times out after 5 s, sends the same event for the same session at most once per 3 s, and has at most 5 requests in flight. Error text never contains the URL.

+# CLI management Settings UI + write API — plan
+
+> Tracked separately from `DEPLOYMENT_PLAN.md` (PR B2, merged) and `docs/copilot-integration-plan.md`
+> (parked). This is "PR C" from the original #343 review: *"settings UI + write endpoints +

+> below for the full record.
+
+## Status as of 2026-09-22
+
+**Phases 1–6 are ALL IMPLEMENTED** (commits `da07b38c` "add cliManagementEnabled flag and GET
+/api/clis" and `db4557d9` "Phases 3-6 - write API + custom entries + Settings UI", both on this
+branch, `feat/cli-management`). Confirmed present in the tree: `cliManagementEnabled` in
+`SettingsUpdateSchema`; `GET /api/clis`, `PUT /api/clis/:id`, `POST /api/clis/:id/install`,
+`POST /api/clis`, `PUT /api/clis/custom/:id`, `DELETE /api/clis/:id` in
+`src/web/routes/cli-registry-routes.ts`; the `shell`/`claude` `UNDISABLEABLE_IDS` backend guard;
+`isAdmin(req)` gating on both the list and write routes; `appendAdminAudit` wired into the install
+route; tmp+rename+`0o600` writes in `registry-writer.ts`; the full Settings UI (row list, toggle,
+Install button, custom-entry create/edit/delete form) in `settings-ui.js` + `index.html`.
+`test/routes/cli-registry-routes.test.ts` (425 lines) and `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts`
+cover it. This status section, plus the fix and gap below, is the one piece of that work done in
+a *different* session from the one that wrote Phases 1–6 — reviewed by reading the diff and
+verifying each claim against the actual routes/tests, not by re-implementing anything.
+
+### Gotcha found and fixed (commit `0c77dd0a`)
+
+**Toggling a CLI off in Settings had no effect anywhere except the Settings row itself.**
+`window.__codemanCliAvailable` — the flag `isCliAvailable()` reads client-side to gate the
+welcome-screen buttons, the Run-menu dropdown and the mobile overview — is injected **once**, at
+initial page render (`server.ts`), built purely from each CLI's own installed-on-PATH resolver
+(`isClaudeAvailable()` etc.), with **no reference to the registry's `enabled` flag at all**. So
+disabling a CLI here updated its own row and nothing else — every launch surface kept offering it,
+both live and after a full page reload, since even a *fresh* render never consulted the registry.
+Root-caused and reported by the user testing the live feature ("toggle those off, they still
+appear in that menu and on the front main screen").
+
+Fixed two places:
+- `server.ts`: after building `available`, intersect the nine real `SessionMode` ids against
+  `enabledClis()`. `git`/`cloudflared` (utility binaries, not CLI registry entries) and
+  `deepseekBinary` (a secondary installed-only flag for the "add a profile" affordance) are
+  deliberately left alone — they were never registry-gated to begin with.
+- `settings-ui.js`: `toggleCliEnabled()` now patches `window.__codemanCliAvailable` in place and
+  refreshes the welcome screen, the mobile overview and an already-open Run menu, mirroring the
+  existing `installDeepSeekProfile()` pattern for the same "injected once, needs an explicit
+  patch" reason — the server-side fix alone still left every surface stale until the next reload.
+
+New test in `test/render-index-html.test.ts`: an installed-but-disabled CLI (codex, forced via
+`clis.json` + `reloadCliRegistry()`) reads as unavailable, while an installed-and-enabled one
+(claude) is unaffected by the override.
+
+**Verified on the Debian devbox** (`codeman-devbox`, real tmux — this sandbox has none and
+`WebServer`'s constructor hard-requires it): typecheck clean, the new test passes (17/17 in
+`render-index-html.test.ts`), the CLI-registry suites pass (86/86), and the **full CI gate is
+green — 415 test files, 7855 tests, 0 failures**.
+
+### Launch-surface registry integration — completed
+
+The welcome screen, desktop Run menu and mobile Run picker now use the same injected CLI catalog.
+Every enabled registry entry is rendered; unavailable binaries remain hidden as before. Settings
+updates the catalog and availability flags in place after enable/disable, create, edit or delete,
+so the launch surfaces update without a page reload. A custom entry uses the generic quick-start
+path, while stock entries retain their existing per-CLI launch settings.
+
+Not otherwise re-verified line-by-line against every Phase 1–6 checklist item below (e.g. the
+exact wording of toasts, the "same PR" sequencing notes) — the checklists are left as originally
+written; treat the **Status** section above as authoritative for what exists.
+
+---
+
+## Background
+
+`src/config/cli-registry/registry.ts` is READ-ONLY today, and says so in its own header comment:
+
+> "⚠️ READ-ONLY. Nothing in this module writes, creates or migrates the file... there is no
+> settings UI and no write API yet... A `seededStockIds` ratchet belongs with the write API that
+> needs it."
+
+Confirmed on `master` (2026-09-21): no `/api/clis` route exists at all (read or write);
+`~/.codeman/clis.json` is hand-edit-only; `resolveInstallCommandForPlatform()` is documented
+"Display text only — never executed" — nothing runs an install command server-side today. The
+original #343 review flagged the opposite (`spawn(command, {shell: true})`, `env.allowedPrefixes`
+contributed from a write) as needing its own trust-model decision; that decision was never made
+after the split, just dropped. This plan makes it.
+
+**Closest existing precedent, and the template this plan follows for the read/write API**:
+`src/web/routes/custom-model-routes.ts` + `src/custom-model-hosts.ts` (#393/#430/#459) — a small
+per-item JSON store, Settings-UI-driven, admin-gated in multi-user mode, tmp+rename+0600 writes.
+
+**Precedent for the new master feature flag (Phase 1)**: `customModelEndpointsEnabled` —
+`z.boolean().optional()` in `SettingsUpdateSchema` (`schemas.ts:1319`), a checkbox read/written by
+id in `openAppSettings()`/`saveAppSettings()` (`settings-ui.js:401`/`:2120`). SYNCED, not
+per-device (present in the schema, absent from `displayKeys`), default OFF.
+
+**Spec refs for the whole plan:**
+- `src/config/cli-registry/registry.ts` — the read path; `resolveRegistry()`'s merge semantics
+  (`deepMerge`, `UNMERGEABLE_KEYS`) apply unchanged to whatever this plan writes
+- `docs/cli-registry.md` — registry shape, "The override file", "Arg-template safety" (the four
+  layers Phase 5's custom-entry validation must not weaken), "Adding a CLI" (the 5-step recipe a
+  custom entry does NOT get to skip just because it arrives via UI instead of a stock.ts edit)
+- `src/web/routes/custom-model-routes.ts` + `src/custom-model-hosts.ts` — read/write API template
+- `docs/multi-user-plan.md`, `docs/security-architecture.md` — admin-gating conventions
+- `CLAUDE.md` §Multi-user mode, §"Settings surface", §"Per-device vs synced settings"
+
+---
+
+## Decisions (Phase 0, closed 2026-09-21)
+
+1. **Enable/disable a stock CLI's `enabled` flag** — IN SCOPE. Plus a **master feature flag**
+   (`cliManagementEnabled`, synced, default OFF) gating the whole Settings UI section's visibility,
+   matching this codebase's standing convention for new admin-facing surfaces.
+2. **Auto-install** (stock CLIs' already-shipped, already-vetted install commands) — IN SCOPE,
+   same PR.
+3. **Custom CLI entries via the UI** — IN SCOPE, **typed-argv only**: a custom entry goes through
+   the exact same schema/argv-safety path stock entries do (named token patterns, no raw shell-text
+   field). Its install command stays **display-only text**, same as every stock entry today — Phase
+   4's auto-install NEVER executes a custom entry's install command, only a stock one's. This is
+   the one place scope was deliberately narrowed relative to what was agreed in principle, because
+   `docs/cli-registry.md`'s arg-template-safety section exists specifically to keep config free of
+   shell text, and a free-text install command for a user-defined entry would reopen exactly that.
+4. **`shell`/`claude` un-disableable** — enforced at the **backend**, not just the UI (a
+   frontend-only guard is bypassable with curl).
+5. **Non-admin visibility in multi-user mode** — the CLI-management Settings section is **hidden
+   entirely** for a non-admin, not shown-empty.
+6. **`seededStockIds` ratchet** — not needed. `deepMerge()` only overrides a key the file actually
+   sets, so a CLI absent from `clis.json.clis` always falls through to its stock `enabled` value
+   with no special-casing. (Carried over from the first draft, not re-litigated.)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1 — Master feature flag: `cliManagementEnabled`
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `da07b38c`) — verified present in `SettingsUpdateSchema`, `index.html`,
+`openAppSettings()`/`saveAppSettings()`.
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `schemas.ts:1319` (`customModelEndpointsEnabled`) — the exact pattern to mirror: `z.boolean().optional()`
+  in `SettingsUpdateSchema`
+- `settings-ui.js:401`/`:2120` — checkbox read/write by id in `openAppSettings()`/`saveAppSettings()`
+- `CLAUDE.md` §"Adding Features" → "App setting" — decide per-device vs synced FIRST (this one is
+  synced: a feature toggle, not a display preference) and add to `displayKeys` NEVER for a synced
+  setting
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] Add `cliManagementEnabled: z.boolean().optional()` to `SettingsUpdateSchema`
+- [x] Add the checkbox to `index.html`'s `#settings-clis` section, above where Phase 6's per-CLI
+      list will render — reads/writes via `openAppSettings()`/`saveAppSettings()` by id, same as
+      `customModelEndpointsEnabled`
+- [x] `readCliManagementEnabled()` helper (mirrors `readCustomModelEndpointsEnabled()` in
+      `custom-model-routes.ts:609`) for the route file(s) in Phases 2-5 to gate on
+- [x] When OFF: `GET /api/clis` still exists but the Settings UI section stays hidden
+      (`applyCliManagementVisibility()`); the write endpoints reject (see Phase 3)
+
+**Verify:** `npm run typecheck` passes; a unit test confirms `SettingsUpdateSchema` accepts/rejects
+the field correctly; toggling it in a fresh browser profile shows/hides the Settings section with
+no server restart.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2 — Read endpoint: `GET /api/clis`
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `da07b38c`) — verified present in `src/web/routes/cli-registry-routes.ts`.
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `src/web/routes/custom-model-routes.ts:730` (`GET /api/model-endpoints`) — multi-user read
+  gating: empty list for a non-admin, never a 403
+- `src/config/cli-registry/registry.ts` — `listClis()` (every entry, including disabled stock
+  ones — this is an admin/settings surface, unlike `enabledClis()`)
+- `window.__codemanCliAvailable`'s resolvers (`isClaudeAvailable()` etc.) — candidate `installed`
+  source; confirm whether to reuse directly or the response needs its own probe (Open Question 4,
+  carried from the first draft — still genuinely open, decide during this phase not before)
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] New route file `cli-registry-routes.ts`
+- [x] Response excludes `launch`/`env`/`capabilities`/`overlays`/`discovery`
+- [x] `isMultiUserMode() && !isAdmin(req)` → `[]`
+- [x] Unit tests in `test/routes/cli-registry-routes.test.ts` (admin/non-admin/single-user,
+      disabled stock CLI still present)
+
+**Verify:** `npm test -- test/routes/cli-registry-routes.test.ts` passes; `curl localhost:3000/api/clis | jq`
+shows every stock CLI including disabled ones.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3 — Write endpoint: `PUT /api/clis/:id` (stock enable/disable)
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `db4557d9`) — `UNDISABLEABLE_IDS`, admin gate, tmp+rename+0600 all
+confirmed present.
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `src/web/routes/custom-model-routes.ts:753` + `src/custom-model-hosts.ts:91` — write-path
+  template: `adminOnly` gate, read-modify-write the WHOLE file, tmp+rename+0600
+- `registry.ts:47` (`filePath()` = `dataPath(...)`) and `reloadCliRegistry()` — write to the same
+  resolved path, invalidate the cache on every successful write or the change is invisible until
+  restart
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] Body: `{ enabled: boolean }`. Zod schema in `schemas.ts`
+- [x] Gate order: `cliManagementEnabled` → `adminOnly` → shell/claude guard → stock-only guard
+- [x] Rejects disabling `shell` or `claude` (`UNDISABLEABLE_IDS`)
+- [x] Rejects a write for an id that isn't a stock CLI
+- [x] Deep-merges `{ clis: { [id]: { enabled } } }`, preserving other override keys
+- [x] tmp+rename+0600 write, `reloadCliRegistry()` on success
+- [x] Unit tests (`test/routes/cli-registry-routes.test.ts`)
+
+**Verify:** `npm test` full gate green; `curl -X PUT localhost:3000/api/clis/grok -d '{"enabled":false}'`
+then `GET /api/clis` shows the change with no restart; same against `shell`/`claude` returns an
+error and changes nothing; `ls -la ~/.codeman/clis.json` shows mode 0600.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4 — Auto-install: `POST /api/clis/:id/install` (stock CLIs only)
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `db4557d9`) — route present, `appendAdminAudit` wired in.
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `registry.ts:231` (`resolveInstallCommandForPlatform`) — currently "Display text only — never
+  executed"; this phase is what changes that, for stock entries only, with Decision 2's sign-off
+- Original #343 review's exact concern re: `env.allowedPrefixes` contributed from a write — stays
+  out of scope; this phase only ever runs a command, never touches the env allowlist
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] Separate endpoint from Phase 3's toggle
+- [x] Gate order: `cliManagementEnabled` → `adminOnly` → stock-entry-only guard
+- [x] `resolveInstallCommandForPlatform(entry)` for the target
+- [x] Bounded execution (timeout, captured stdout/stderr)
+- [x] Does NOT auto-enable on successful install
+- [x] Audit-logged via `appendAdminAudit`
+- [x] Unit tests
+
+**Verify:** a real install triggered via the endpoint against a CLI not currently installed,
+`GET /api/clis`'s `installed` field flips true with no restart; audit log entry present; attempting
+install against a custom entry's id fails with a clear error; full CI gate green.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5 — Custom CLI entries: create / update / delete via API
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `db4557d9`) — `POST /api/clis`, `PUT /api/clis/custom/:id`,
+`DELETE /api/clis/:id` all present. Open Question 2 resolved: a **separate** endpoint
+(`PUT /api/clis/custom/:id`), not Phase 3's `PUT /api/clis/:id` widened.
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `docs/cli-registry.md` §"Arg-template safety" (all four layers), §"Adding a CLI" (the 5-step
+  recipe) — a custom entry created via this API must satisfy the SAME schema (`CliEntrySchema`)
+  every stock entry does; there is no relaxed path for UI-originated entries
+- `registry.ts`'s `resolveRegistry()` — the custom-entry branch (`stock: false`, dropped with a
+  warning on validation failure, never falls back silently) already exists and is unchanged by
+  this phase; this phase only adds a way to WRITE what that branch reads
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] `POST /api/clis` (create), full `CliEntrySchema` validation
+- [x] `PUT /api/clis/custom/:id` (update) — separate endpoint from Phase 3's stock toggle
+- [x] `DELETE /api/clis/:id` refuses for any stock id
+- [x] `id` collision check against existing stock ids
+- [x] `discovery.install.command` on a custom entry stays DISPLAY-ONLY
+- [x] Same tmp+rename+0600 write pattern, `reloadCliRegistry()` on every successful mutation
+- [x] Unit tests
+
+**Verify:** `npm test` full gate green; create a custom entry via curl, confirm it appears in
+`GET /api/clis` — **confirm it appears in the Run menu is UNVERIFIED and currently FALSE, see
+"Outstanding" above**; delete it, confirm it's gone and `clis.json` no longer references it.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6 — Settings UI
+
+**Status:** DONE (commit `db4557d9`) — `#cliListGroup`, row rendering, toggle, Install button,
+custom-entry create/edit/delete form all present in `settings-ui.js`/`index.html`. Manual browser
+verification per the phase's own "Verify" step (flag on/off, non-admin hidden, toggle stops the
+Run menu offering a CLI, create/enable/launch a custom entry, delete it, shell/claude undisableable)
+has **not** been re-run in this session — the toggle→Run-menu leg specifically was BROKEN until the
+gotcha fix above, and the create→launch leg for a custom entry is the confirmed gap in
+"Outstanding".
+
+**Spec refs:**
+- `index.html:2357` (`#settings-clis`) — the existing home; Phase 1's master toggle at the top,
+  then the per-CLI list, then (if `cliManagementEnabled`) a "custom CLI" creation form, all above
+  the existing Codex-only groups
+- `CLAUDE.md` §"Settings surface" — App Settings scrolls, it does not tab-switch
+- `admin-ui.js` — pattern for an admin-only-VISIBLE section (not just admin-only-writable),
+  needed here per Decision 5
+
+**Checklist:**
+- [x] Whole section hidden when `cliManagementEnabled` is OFF, and separately hidden for a
+      non-admin in multi-user mode (`_applyCliManagementAdminGate`)
+- [x] Fetches `GET /api/clis` when the section becomes visible; renders one row per CLI
+- [x] Stock rows: enabled toggle only; `shell`/`claude` rows show the toggle disabled/greyed
+- [x] Custom rows: enabled toggle plus edit/delete affordances
+- [x] "Add custom CLI" form (id/label/badge/binary/argv)
+- [x] Toggle/edit/delete update the row in place
+
+**Verify:** manual browser test per `CLAUDE.md`'s "Always Test Before Deploying" rule — **not yet
+re-run end-to-end in this session**; do this before considering the feature ready to ship, and
+expect the custom-entry-launch step to fail until the Outstanding gap above is closed.
+
+---
+
+## Remaining Open Questions
+
+1. **Phase 2's `installed` source** — resolved: reuses `window.__codemanCliAvailable`'s existing
+   resolvers via `GET /api/clis`'s own probe (confirmed by reading the route).
+2. **Phase 5's `PUT` endpoint shape** — resolved: a **separate** endpoint
+   (`PUT /api/clis/custom/:id`), not Phase 3's toggle route widened.
+3. **Sequencing against the parked Copilot plan** — unchanged, still not blocking.
+4. **NEW: custom-CLI Run-menu integration** — see "Outstanding" above. Not decided or started.
+
+---
+
+Implementation is underway (see Status above); this line is left for history rather than removed —
+the plan was originally approved before Phases 1–6 landed.

+- adds, edits and deletes **custom** entries (id, label, badge, binaries, launch argv). The server re-validates the whole assembled entry through `CliEntrySchema`, so the form cannot bypass the load-time rules.
+
+These are the only writes to `clis.json`. They are serialized, and a file that does not parse or has unsafe permissions is refused rather than overwritten; fix it (or `chmod 600` it) and retry. The HTTP routes are listed in `docs/api-reference.md` under *CLI management*.

+## MCP server sync
+
+`capabilities.mcpConfig` (`{ path, format, relocation? }`, `path` relative to the home directory) names the file a CLI keeps its user-level MCP server list in and the dialect it is written in. `src/mcp-sync.ts` reads that list from every ENABLED CLI that declares one, and that is installed or already has the file (a CLI that is neither is reported `absent`, never created), and adds any server a CLI is missing from the others. It writes other tools' own config, so it is **opt-in**: `mcpSyncEnabled` (synced, default OFF) gates `GET`/`POST /api/mcp-sync` (403 while off) and the Settings → Agents & CLIs → MCP servers controls. Declared today for claude, gemini, codex, opencode and antigravity; every format was checked against what the CLI's own `mcp add` writes, except opencode's (documented, not installed to check). A CLI with no entry (pi, grok, omp, deepseek) is not guessed at: it is listed as `unsupported` in the result when enabled. Adding one is a registry entry plus a small adapter in `mcp-sync.ts`, and a verified fixture in `test/mcp-sync.test.ts`.
+
+`relocation` (`{ envVar, path }`) names the env var the CLI itself reads to move that file: claude `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` (`.claude.json` under it), codex `CODEX_HOME` (`config.toml`), opencode `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` (`opencode/opencode.json`) and gemini `GEMINI_CLI_HOME` (`.gemini/settings.json`); antigravity follows `$HOME` only, so it declares none. The var is read from the SERVER process env at call time, which is the env the CLIs Codeman spawns inherit. An absolute value moves the file to `<value>/<relocation.path>`, an empty one counts as unset (as it does for each CLI), and anything else reports the target `skipped` with the reason instead of writing a file the CLI never reads. A per-session relocation (a session's own `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` in `envOverrides`) is not followed: the sync only knows the server's environment.
+
+The rules the module keeps and the tests pin: it only ADDS (a name already defined, in any shape, is never edited or removed; a same-name difference is reported as a conflict); a server switched off in its own CLI is not copied; it never writes a file it could not parse (opencode JSONC with comments, a TOML file with a duplicate table) and re-parses the new text before writing; codex TOML is read with a real parser (`smol-toml`), so CRLF files and inline tables are handled; names such as `__proto__` are ignored and every table keyed by an untrusted name has no prototype; a symlinked config is written through, not replaced; a file that receives `env`/`headers` is left `0600`; only one apply runs at a time; and its result carries server names only, never env values or headers, and never file text: a parse failure is reported by line and column, not by the parser's message (smol-toml prints a code frame of the offending lines and V8's JSON errors quote source, either of which can hold a secret). The schema restricts `path` and `relocation.path` to a relative path without `..`, since sync writes to it.

+### Opening a session from your own page
+
+To send someone from your page to one session, link to the dashboard with the
+session id in the fragment, as in `http://127.0.0.1:3000/#session=<id>`. The
+dashboard selects that tab when it loads. It also removes the fragment from its
+own URL, so a later link to the same session still counts as a change.
+
+Keep reusing one named window to make later links fast:
+
+```js
+window.open(`${codeman}/#session=${encodeURIComponent(id)}`, 'codeman');
+```
+
+When that window already shows the dashboard, only the fragment differs. The
+browser therefore keeps the page loaded, and the dashboard switches tabs without
+reloading it. A session the window has shown before appears at once. A session
+your page has only just created may not be listed yet, so the dashboard waits
+for its `session:created` event and selects it then. That wait lasts at most 30
+seconds: a link whose session never appears (a closed session, a typo, or in
+multi-user mode another user's session) is dropped with a "Session not found"
+notice. Clicking another tab, going Home or opening a web tab also ends the
+wait, so a session that turns up later never takes the screen from the person.
+
+When your page holds the window reference (`const win = window.open(...)`),
+prefer `win.location.replace(url)` for later links: it still fires `hashchange`
+without a reload, but adds no history entry, so Back in the dashboard window
+does not turn into a silent no-op.
+
+Following a link does not count as someone looking at the session, so it
+leaves the session's idle alert in place. The alert clears when the person
+clicks the tab or types into the session. A link to a session that is popped
+out into its own window asks that window to come forward, as clicking its tab does.
+
+A link to `/session/<id>` opens a page showing that session alone, and that
+page loads from scratch for every link.

 ## Tab alerts

 Once subscribed, a blocking prompt reaches your phone even from a locked screen.
 
+## Webhooks: ntfy, Slack, Discord
+
+**Opt-in, off by default. One channel for the whole server.**
+
+Push needs a browser that subscribed once. A webhook needs nothing on the client side: the
+server itself posts each alert to an ntfy topic, a Slack or Discord incoming webhook, or any
+URL as plain JSON. That makes it the option for a headless box nobody has opened in a browser,
+and for a team channel.
+
+It carries the same events as push: permission prompts, questions, idle sessions, session
+errors, blocked respawns, a stopped crash loop and Ralph task completion. "Response complete"
+is included only when **Which events** is set to **Everything**; the default, **Needs
+attention**, skips it. A session that is watching its own work stays quiet here too.
+
+Setup, in **App Settings → Notifications → Webhook**:
+
+1. Pick the **Service**. ntfy gets a title, a priority and a tag per urgency; Slack and
+   Discord get a bold title line; **Generic JSON** posts `{ event, title, body, urgency,
+   sessionId, sessionName, host, at }`.
+2. Paste the **Webhook URL** and turn on **Send alerts to a webhook**.
+3. Press **Save**, either the group's own button or the main Settings Save, then **Send test**.
+   Send test saves anything you changed first, so it always tests what is on screen.
+
+The status line under the group shows the last delivery: when it worked, or why it did not
+(an HTTP status, a timeout, a refused connection).
+
+Behaviour worth knowing:
+
+- **The URL is a secret.** Anyone holding a Slack or Discord webhook URL can post as it, and
+  anyone who knows an ntfy topic can read it. Codeman keeps it in its own file,
+  `~/.codeman/webhook.json` (readable by its owner only), never in the shared settings, and
+  never shows it again: once saved, the box is empty and the hint shows only the scheme and
+  host. Paste a new URL to replace it, or press **Remove URL** to delete it from the server
+  (which also turns the channel off).
+- **On public ntfy.sh, pick a long random topic.** Topics there are not private; the name is
+  the only thing keeping strangers out.
+- **Local targets work.** A self-hosted ntfy on your LAN or on the same machine is fine.
+  Link-local and cloud-metadata addresses are refused, both when you save and when the
+  message is sent, and redirects are not followed.
+- **Repeats are folded.** The same event for the same session within three seconds is sent
+  once, so a flapping prompt cannot flood a channel.
+- **Multi-user mode: admins only, and it sees everything.** Only an admin can see or change
+  the webhook, and it receives every user's session events (session names, tool names, error
+  text). Point it somewhere every user would be comfortable with.

+| **Idle**      | Everything quiet, including ended sessions, agents that exited inside their pane, and web tabs. |
+
+In the header each group is a row with its name and count on the left; a group with more
+tabs than fit on one line continues under its own tabs. The vertical rail and the left
+sidebar show the same groups as sections. Empty groups are not shown. These are the same
+states the phone overview and the desktop home rail use.
+
+Tabs move between groups on their own as their state changes. Inside a group they keep your
+tab order (on a rail sorted *By activity*, the activity order), and the `Alt+1` to `Alt+9`
+numbers never change. Dragging reorders tabs within a group. On a phone the strip stays a
+single scrolling row: the tabs come in group order, without the headings. If you have named
+tab groups in the vertical rail, those take precedence there.

 # xterm-zerolag-input
 
+## 0.4.0
+
+### Minor Changes
+
+- 6aecc3b: ### Thanks
+  - @opticon454 for four PRs in one batch: webhook notifications (#523), MCP server sync (#521), the Shift+Enter keypress fix (#520) and the newline chord plus Key tester (#522). Every review item was answered in one round, and the merge-order map across all four made landing them together easy.
+  - @aakhter for the grouped vertical rail (#517) and its ARIA tree and full-row activation (#519), which give the owner tab-layout API its first frontend, and for the iOS IME composition preview (#499), carried through three careful review rounds including the overlay rework in the zerolag package.
+  - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for per-session Claude models on `POST /api/sessions` (#514) and Codex reasoning effort per session (#515), both kept registry-driven with no CLI id branching.
+  - @timkjr for keeping Pane B painting during a history pull and its "disconnected" marker last in every interleaving (#524), with an old-versus-new table measured in real Chrome.
+
+  **Webhook notifications (#523).** Settings → Notifications → Webhook posts the same events as Web Push (permission prompts, questions, errors, idle) to ntfy, Slack, Discord or any JSON URL, so a headless server can reach a phone with no browser open. Off by default. The URL is a bearer secret: it lives in its own 0600 file (`~/.codeman/webhook.json`), is never returned by the API, and the routes (`GET`/`PUT /api/webhook`, `POST /api/webhook/test`) are admin only in multi-user mode. Delivery goes through the web-tab egress guard (link-local and cloud-metadata targets refused), does not follow redirects, times out after 5 s, dedupes repeats, and neutralises `@everyone`/Slack control characters in agent-supplied text.
+
+  **MCP server sync (#521).** Opt-in (`mcpSyncEnabled`, synced, off by default; `GET`/`POST /api/mcp-sync` answer 403 until it is on). Settings → Agents & CLIs → MCP servers previews or copies each installed, enabled CLI's MCP servers into the others' own config files (Claude, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity). It only adds missing servers, never edits or removes one, skips servers you switched off, keeps a `.codeman-bak` of every file it changes, re-parses the result before writing, writes through symlinked dotfiles, leaves files that receive env values or headers readable by you only, and reports same-name conflicts instead of overwriting. CLIs with no known MCP config (Pi, Grok, OMP, DeepSeek) are listed as unsupported. Adds the `smol-toml` dependency to read Codex's `config.toml` safely.
+
+  **Claude advisor tool.** Claude Code's experimental advisor (a stronger model the session's main model consults at decision points) can now be set per session: an `advisorModel` field on `POST /api/sessions`, `POST /api/quick-start` and `POST /api/ralph-loop/start` (`fable`, `opus`, `sonnet`, or a full id in those families), and a synced App Settings default under Models → Advisor. It rides the launch's one `--settings` JSON rather than the `--advisor` flag, because the flag exits at launch on any pairing the CLI refuses and would leave a dead pane on every respawn. It is persisted, so respawns and both restore paths keep it, and `/advisor` still switches it in-session. Agents using the codeman skill can give their claude workers one with `CODEMAN_WORKER_ADVISOR=opus`.
+
+  **Per-session Claude model (#514) and Codex reasoning effort (#515).** `POST /api/sessions` takes an optional `model` that launches that one Claude session with `claude --model <id>` and writes nothing to disk (`modelOverride` still writes the case default). It is persisted, so both recovery paths relaunch on it. `codexConfig.reasoningEffort` starts a codex session at a chosen effort (`--config model_reasoning_effort=<level>`), and it survives respawn and resume.
+
+  **Grouped vertical rail (#517, #519).** When the owner has tab groups (`/api/tab-layout`), the vertical rail draws them as collapsible sections, with collapse remembered per device, the active row always visible, and lineage arcs anchored to a collapsed group's header. The grouped rail is an ARIA tree with one tab stop and the standard arrow-key model. With no groups, the rail is unchanged byte for byte. Editing groups from the browser comes in a follow-up.
+
+  **iOS IME composition preview (#499).** On iOS Safari, the text an IME is composing (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and the predictive composition on English keyboards) is now drawn in the terminal before it commits, inside the local-echo overlay when local echo is on. Inert on every other platform. The `xterm-zerolag-input` package gains `setComposition()`.
+
+  **Key tester and newline chord (#522).** Settings → Terminal & Input has a Key tester that shows the keydown/keypress/keyup events the browser reports, to diagnose a device where a shortcut behaves differently. Keys pressed in it never trigger app shortcuts. Shift+Enter's newline chord is now CLI registry data (`capabilities.newline`, line feed by default); no stock CLI changes.
+
+  **Fixes.** Shift+Enter no longer submits the prompt after inserting the newline: the key handler swallowed only `keydown`, so xterm's `keypress` still sent a bare `\r` (#520). Claude sessions created at the same moment (`spawn_workers`, a multi-tab Run) no longer fall out of tmux onto the direct-PTY fallback: the statusLine exporter's temp file name collided within one millisecond (#531). Pane B of the split view keeps painting during a history pull, and its "disconnected" marker stays the last line however a close, a pull and a refresh interleave (#524).
+
+  **Fixes applied while landing.** Webhooks: the App Settings Save button now saves webhook edits too (a refused URL keeps the dialog open with a warning), Send test saves pending edits first, and a Remove URL button clears a saved URL. MCP sync: a config file that fails to parse is reported by line and column only, never by quoting its content, which can hold API keys; the sync follows `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, `CODEX_HOME`, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and `GEMINI_CLI_HOME` from the server's environment and skips a target it cannot place instead of writing a file the CLI never reads; Preview before saving says to save first; and the MCP group is hidden from non-admins in multi-user mode. Grouped rail: a collapsed group's header shows the red or yellow ring of a hidden row that needs you; layout reads rebuild the rail only when something it draws changed, and failed reads back off (5, 10, 20, 40 s) instead of retrying every 5 s forever; a corrupted collapse preference resets instead of disabling collapse; Ctrl+Shift+{ / } only moves a tab within its own group; tapping a group header or row no longer dismisses the phone keyboard; keys pressed on a row's own buttons no longer move tree focus; and screen-reader positions stay correct after a re-sort. Sessions: `model` on `POST /api/sessions` refuses a value starting with a dash, and `model` or `advisorModel` together with `attachRemoteSession` is now a 400 instead of being ignored; non-Claude sessions no longer report or persist Claude's default model. Split view: a refresh queued behind a history pull no longer leaves a second, stale "disconnected" marker above its replay. iOS IME: a composition on an empty prompt now follows the prompt when output or a resize moves it, and the `xterm-zerolag-input` README documents `setComposition()`. The Shift+Enter and Key tester browser tests now drive the shipped handlers instead of copies.

@@ -217,6 +218,19 @@ Implements the xterm.js `ITerminalAddon` interface. It deliberately does **not**
 
 The cascade order is pending text, then flushed text, then auto-detected buffer text (which is what makes backspace work after tab completion). Backspace "just works" across any combination of typed, in-flight and completed text.
 
+### IME composition
+
+While an input method (Japanese kana, Chinese pinyin, Korean) is still composing, the text is not committed yet, so it is not in `pendingText` either. `setComposition(text)` draws it as an underlined, `aria-hidden` tail right after the pending and flushed text, using the same wrapping and on-screen layout as the rest of the overlay.
+
+```typescript
+const textarea = terminal.textarea!;
+textarea.addEventListener('compositionupdate', (e) => zerolag.setComposition(e.data));
+textarea.addEventListener('compositionend', () => zerolag.setComposition(''));
+// xterm then emits the committed text through onData: add it with addChar()/appendText() as usual.
+```
+
+The composition is visual only: it is never part of `pendingText`, `hasPending` or `state`, so it can never be sent. Control characters and line breaks are stripped from it. `clear()` and `removeChar()` drop it. Because `hasPending` excludes it, re-place the overlay after output or a resize with an unconditional `rerender()`, not one gated on `hasPending`.

   `sendwait` reads the composer and keeps pressing Enter until the prompt has left it.

+ * Browser-test exclusion check.
+ *
+ * `npm run test:ci` must never try to drive a real browser: CI runners (and any
+ * clean checkout) have no chromium, so such a file dies with
+ * `browserType.launch: Executable doesn't exist` and takes the whole suite with
+ * it. `config/vitest.ci.config.ts` therefore excludes every browser-driven test
+ * via `BROWSER_TEST_GLOBS` in `config/test-suites.ts`. That list is maintained
+ * BY HAND, and a new browser test simply does not appear in it unless someone
+ * remembers. The omission is invisible on a developer machine that has run
+ * `npx playwright install`, where the test passes, and only shows up on a clean
+ * runner.
+ *
+ * Two deliberate design choices:
+ *
+ * 1. **Detection is by CONTENT, not filename.** Matching `*.browser.test.ts`
+ *    would miss the browser tests that predate that convention
+ *    (`inline-rename`, `opencode-resize`, `webgl-fallback`,
+ *    `terminal-copy-shortcut`, `codex-predictive-echo`). What actually makes a
+ *    file dangerous is importing a browser driver, so that is what is tested.
+ *    ⚠️ Only a DIRECT import is seen: a test that reaches playwright through a
+ *    helper module (e.g. `test/mobile/helpers/browser.ts`) is not detected, so
+ *    such a test still has to be added to `BROWSER_TEST_GLOBS` by hand.
+ *
+ * 2. **The exclusion side is answered by vitest itself**, via
+ *    `vitest list --filesOnly`, rather than by re-implementing glob matching
+ *    against the config's `exclude` array. Patterns there include `test/mobile/**`
+ *    and `perf-*`; a hand-rolled matcher that disagreed with vitest by even one
+ *    edge case would report a gap that does not exist, or miss one that does.
+ *    Asking the real resolver cannot drift from the real behaviour.
+ *
+ * The pure pieces are exported for test/check-browser-test-excludes.test.ts; the

+ *   group/world permission bit and quarantines one that does not parse. The writer used to
+ *   treat both as "start fresh", so one Settings click replaced a hand-edited file with a
+ *   one-key file, or rewrote a refused file as 0600 and so trusted it. It now starts fresh
+ *   ONLY on ENOENT and otherwise throws `RegistryWriteRefusedError`, leaving the file alone.
+ * - **Unique temp file.** Every write gets its own tmp name before the rename, so two writes
+ *   can never rename each other's temp file away (the ENOENT-on-rename 500s).
+ *
+ * Same tmp+rename+0600 shape as `custom-model-hosts.ts`. The file is hand-editable, so a

+/**
+ * @fileoverview MCP server sync between the enabled agent CLIs.
+ *
+ * Each CLI keeps its own user-level MCP list in its own dialect (`CliEntry.capabilities.mcpConfig`
+ * names the file and the dialect). This module reads every participating CLI's list into one
+ * neutral shape, and adds any server a CLI is missing from the others. The whole feature is
+ * opt-in (`mcpSyncEnabled`, default OFF; the route enforces it) because it writes OTHER tools'
+ * own user config.
+ *
+ * Deliberately conservative:
+ *   - ADDITIVE only. A server already present under a name (in ANY shape, even one this module
+ *     does not understand) is never rewritten and nothing is ever removed. Same name with a
+ *     different definition is reported as a conflict and left alone.
+ *   - A server the user has switched off in its own CLI (codex `enabled = false`, opencode
+ *     `enabled: false`, antigravity `disabled: true`) is not propagated: copying it would
+ *     switch it on in every other CLI.
+ *   - A file that does not parse (e.g. opencode JSONC with comments, a TOML file with a
+ *     duplicate table) is never written, and a write is only made after the NEW text has been
+ *     parsed again and every added server comes back as intended.
+ *   - Only the MCP table is touched; every other key in the file is preserved. Files are
+ *     re-read immediately before the write and replaced via tmp+rename next to the REAL target
+ *     (a symlinked dotfile stays a symlink), with the old file kept as `<file>.codeman-bak`
+ *     (overwritten by each sync).
+ *   - Copied servers can carry secrets in `env`/`headers`: a file that receives any is left
+ *     readable by its owner only.
+ *   - Servers a dialect cannot express (SSE for codex) are skipped and reported.
+ *   - Only one apply runs at a time.
+ *   - A CLI whose file was moved by its own env var (`mcpConfig.relocation`: `CODEX_HOME`,
+ *     `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, ...) is followed there, as the SERVER env sets it; a relative value
+ *     cannot be located safely, so that target is reported `skipped` and never written.
+ *
+ * The result types (src/types/mcp-sync.ts) never carry env values or headers: those commonly
+ * hold secrets and the result is returned over HTTP. For the same reason a parse failure is
+ * reported by position only (`describeMcpSyncError`): parsers quote the offending source.

+/**
+ * @fileoverview The exited-agent sweep's decision rule (Ark0N/Codeman#446).
+ *
+ * Codeman creates every tmux pane with `remain-on-exit on`, so `/exit` ends the
+ * CLI while the pane, the tmux session and the `tmux attach-session` process
+ * all live on. Part 1 of #446 records that as `SessionState.paneExit`. This
+ * module decides when such a session is closed, the way the X button closes
+ * it, so finished sessions stop piling up on the board.
+ *
+ * The rule closes a session only on a POSITIVE observation of a clean exit:
+ *
+ * - The exit status must be an explicit numeric 0 with no signal. An absent
+ *   status is UNKNOWN, never 0: on tmux 3.2a a SIGKILLed pane reports neither a
+ *   status nor a signal, so reading absence as clean would sweep an agent the
+ *   OOM killer took. A non-zero status or any signal keeps the row, marked with
+ *   the exit, as the crash evidence #210 was filed to keep.
+ * - At least {@link CLEAN_EXIT_CONFIRMING_READS} authoritative pane reads must
+ *   have agreed on that exit. A failed, empty or skipped read counts for
+ *   nothing, because unknown never closes anything.
+ * - No start, attach or relaunch may be in flight for the session. The
+ *   dead-pane branch of `Session._setupOrAttachMuxSession()` respawns an exited
+ *   pane on purpose, and for a few seconds that pane still reads as dead.
+ * - The exit must land at least {@link CLEAN_EXIT_MIN_PANE_LIFETIME_MS} after
+ *   the last start, attach or relaunch finished. A CLI that prints a startup
+ *   error ("not logged in", a bad profile, a config error) and exits 0 would
+ *   otherwise lose its tab, and the error with it, seconds after launch. Its
+ *   row stays, marked `exited (0)`, for the user to read and close.
+ *
+ * Scoping to local mux-backed sessions happens before this rule runs:
+ * `Session.setPaneExit()` forces the field to UNKNOWN for direct-PTY, remote,
+ * docker and discovered sessions, so their `paneExit` never reaches here.
+ *
+ * Pure, so the rule is unit-tested without a server (test/pane-exit-sweep.test.ts).

+/**
+ * @fileoverview In-terminal preview of IME composition text on iOS Safari.
+ *
+ * On iOS WebKit touch devices the text an IME is composing (Japanese, Chinese,
+ * Korean, dictation) is not visible inside the terminal until it commits, so
+ * the user types blind. The controller listens to the helper textarea's
+ * composition events and asks the caller to render the latest composition
+ * (`phase: 'provisional'`), coalesced to one render per animation frame and
+ * capped at 2048 characters. When xterm emits the committed text through
+ * onData, the caller hands it to `consumeTerminalData()`, which switches the
+ * preview to `phase: 'committed'` until something else shows the text: the
+ * local echo overlay or a prediction (`completeCommit`), authoritative
+ * terminal output (`noteAuthoritativeOutput`), or a 2 s fallback timer. The
+ * same 2 s bound applies while waiting for a commit that never reaches onData
+ * (the user deleted the whole composition), so a later unrelated chunk is never
+ * mistaken for it.
+ *
+ * Keydown ordering: xterm registers its textarea keydown listener in the
+ * capture phase inside terminal.open() and finalizes the composition there
+ * (CompositionHelper.keydown), emitting the commit through onData
+ * synchronously. The controller therefore observes keydown in the capture
+ * phase on an ANCESTOR (`keydownTarget`, the terminal element), which runs
+ * before any listener on the textarea itself, and finalizes on exactly the
+ * keys xterm does.
+ *
+ * VISUAL ONLY: the controller never sends, consumes or reorders input bytes,
+ * and every callback is wrapped so a failing render cannot block the wire.
+ * `isIosWebKitTouch()` gates creation; other platforms keep xterm's own
+ * composition view untouched.
+ *
+ * @dependency none (standalone IIFE; consumed by terminal-ui.js)
+ * @loadorder 5.52 (before app.js/terminal-ui.js, which create the controller)
