# aicodeman ## 1.30.0 ### Minor Changes - da933d7: Offer to rebuild the sessions a host reboot destroyed. A reboot takes the tmux server down with it, so every pane dies and the board comes up empty. Codeman now works out what was running, and the board offers to restore it behind a click. The conversations come back; the terminal scrollback does not, and the banner says so. ### Patch Changes - a1c35da: Stop a phone keyboard losing the last character of every message it sends. Android soft keyboards commit the last typed character and send the Enter key in one InputConnection transaction, so the `input` event and the Enter keydown are both processed before any zero-delay timer runs. The orphaned-input recovery from #388 only resolved its candidate on such a timer, and lost it both ways: xterm emits `\r` synchronously from the Enter keydown, so the local-echo composer submitted the prompt before the recovered character existed, and that `\r` bumped the "did xterm speak for this keystroke" counter, so the candidate then stood itself down and dropped the character outright. Pending candidates are now drained synchronously at the next keydown, from xterm's custom key handler, which runs before xterm processes that key, so the counter still holds the value it had while the candidate's own keystroke was current, and the recovered byte reaches the composer ahead of the Enter. Typing on a physical keyboard is unaffected: there, the timer has already resolved the candidate before the next key arrives. - 3f2928a: The installer's hint for a launcher-only CLI (DeepSeek today) now says why it is a docs link rather than a command you can run, and points at the thing that resolves it: the package installs a launcher that still needs a terminal profile, and Codeman's Run menu can add one in a click. Driven by a generated `CLI_LAUNCHER_ONLY` flag rather than an id check, so it covers any future entry of that shape. Also removes three dead lookup helpers and two never-read generated arrays from `install.sh`, skips a disabled entry's probe instead of filtering it afterwards, and corrects a comment that claimed the non-interactive default is always Claude Code (on a wget-only host its curl one-liner is filtered out first). - 0e1191b: Maintainer fixes applied while landing the above. A session restored after a reboot keeps the name you gave it (the rebuild dropped the field that records who named a session, so a hand-renamed session came back looking auto-named and the next prompt overwrote it), and no longer types `continue` into itself on its own: a pending auto-resume stamp from before the reboot is dropped rather than re-armed, since the pane is new and one click could otherwise arm several unattended prompts at once. Auto-resume itself stays on and re-arms on the next real usage-limit message. The restore offer is also hidden in a detached single-session window, which has no tab strip to put restored sessions in, and a conversation that goes live while an earlier session in the same batch is starting is no longer restored a second time. - 0e1191b: ### Thanks - @irisitymichaelgrundberg for the reboot-restore banner (#442), and for the three real reboots behind it rather than a mocked one. - @shenlvkang-collab for tracking down why Android keyboards lost the last character of every message (#441), including the half where the character was not late but gone. - @opticon454 for going back and closing out the loose ends left as "worth knowing rather than fixing" after #380 (#429). - de864e7: Keep the terminal anchored where you are reading while an agent streams (#358). Scrolling up during a Codex response could still be dragged back to the live bottom by the next redraw: the flush captured the viewport before writing and restored it immediately after, but xterm parses asynchronously, so at that moment the buffer had not moved yet, the restore compared the anchor against itself and did nothing, and the redraw landed a tick later with nothing left to pull the view back. The restore now runs inside xterm's own write callback, which is the first point at which the redraw's effect exists, and it holds across consecutive and chunked redraws. It is dropped if you switch sessions or a history replay starts before the write parses, since the anchor indexes the buffer it was captured from. ## 1.29.1 ### Patch Changes - 5b920cb: Auto-name sessions from the first prompt (#376, opt-in). With the new synced **Auto-name Sessions** setting on (App Settings → Appearance → Tabs, default off), a tab that still carries its generated name takes a title from the first real prompt you submit, keeping the case prefix: `w3-myapp` becomes `w3-myapp: fix the login redirect`. The strip shows the title with the prefix in the tooltip, and the next session in that case still counts up. It happens once per session, only for prompts you type or send through the input API (never a Ralph, respawn, cron or approval answer), never for shells, and a name you set yourself is never touched. Slash commands such as `/clear` do not become titles. The title is derived locally from the prompt's first sentence; no text leaves the machine. `nameSource` (`placeholder` / `auto` / `manual`) is a new additive field on session state. Landed with the fixes the review of #376 asked for: first prompt only (not every prompt), a user-input gate so Ralph, respawn, cron and approval writes cannot name a tab, the prefix form so the case identity and `w` counter survive, and a keystroke tracker that handles a bare Esc, bracketed pastes, wheel reports, Tab and history recall instead of mis-titling the tab. ### Thanks - @shenlvkang-collab for #376, the auto-naming idea and the ownership plumbing (`nameSource`, the listener wiring, the restore path) it shipped with. ## 1.29.0 ### Minor Changes - **Custom model endpoints, HTTP API first** (#393). Any run mode that has a mechanism for it can be pointed at a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint (a local llama.cpp, llama-swap, Ollama or vLLM, or a cloud gateway) instead of its native backend, per session. Endpoints are stored in `~/.codeman/custom-model-hosts.json` (`GET/POST/PUT/DELETE /api/model-endpoints`, admin-only in multi-user mode), their model lists are discovered from the endpoint's own `/v1/models`, and `POST /api/sessions/:id/custom-model` applies one to a session by restarting its CLI in place. The mechanism is per-CLI registry data (`capabilities.customModelInjection`): env vars for Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek, `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT` for opencode, an isolated config dir for Codex, Pi and OMP, unsupported for Antigravity. Verified live against a llama-swap server for claude, opencode, pi, grok and omp; gemini and deepseek reach the server and fail for reasons not yet understood, and codex only speaks the Responses API, so a plain chat-completions server cannot serve it. Those three are documented as gaps rather than shipped as working. The toolbar picker is a follow-up; until it lands the feature is HTTP-API only (`docs/custom-model-endpoints.md`), and the `customModelEndpointsEnabled` setting is declared but read by nothing yet. Merged with maintainer follow-ups: clearing a selection now actually clears it (the injected vars are delivered by `tmux setenv`, which `respawn-pane` inherits, so the relaunched CLI came back still pointed at the endpoint; retired keys are now `setenv -u`'d before the respawn), applying a model to a local claude session no longer kills the pane (the relaunch pins `--resume ` with the `--session-id` fallback, since Claude Code refuses a session id that already has a transcript), pi, omp and grok now select the generated model through a registry-declared `launchModel` (`custom/`, `-m codeman-custom`) instead of writing a config the CLI then ignored, remote and Docker sessions are refused with a clear 400 until those paths are plumbed, the selection survives a Codeman restart, discovery goes through the egress-guarded `webviewFetch()`, key-bearing files are written 0600 and the per-session config dir is removed with the session, and the design plan moved from the repo root to `docs/custom-model-endpoints-plan.md`. Along the way the multi-user clamp learned about `GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL`, `GROK_BASE_URL`, `CODEX_HOME`, `PI_CONFIG_DIR` and `OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT`, which were already reachable through `envOverrides` and now count as privileged keys. **Single-page apps work as web tabs, and a frame that reloads comes back** (#402). A history-routed dashboard (React Router, Vue Router, a Vite dev server) read `/webview//` as its `location.pathname` and rendered its own "page not found" the moment its script ran. The proxy's runtime shim now masks the prefix off the document URL before any page script runs, while every URL the page emits still goes through the rewrite layers (now including `Worker`, `SharedWorker`, `sendBeacon` and `window.open`). A navigation the page starts itself afterwards (a dev server's full reload, a root-absolute `location.href`) used to land on Codeman's root with no capability; it is now recognised by shape, answered with a static recovery page that posts the lost path to the owning tab, and the frame is remounted inside the prefix at that path, bounded to five recoveries a minute per frame. Merged with maintainer follow-ups: the recovery path is sanitised properly (a leading backslash, or a tab/newline the URL parser deletes before parsing, resolved `/\evil.com` to a foreign origin in a direct-mode tab); a reload on the dashboard's landing page is recovered too, on password-protected and passwordless installs alike (it used to render Codeman's own shell inside the web tab); and the recovery page is written down as the third unauthenticated 200 in the security table and `docs/security-architecture.md`, with the route-enumeration property it implies stated rather than left to be discovered. **Shift arrows for Codex on the phone keyboard bar** (#408). Two keys, `⇧←` and `⇧→`, send the Shift-modified arrows Codex binds to editing the last queued message and walking the prompt stack (verified against Codex 0.154.0's `/keymap`). Merged with a maintainer follow-up: the keys are shown only on Codex sessions (a `codex-enabled` class on the bar, the same shape as the Read My Mind key), because tapping one in any other session did nothing except hand that session to plain PTY echo for the rest of the prompt. **Remote (SSH) cases can finally show you their files** (#421, fixes #415). File previews, downloads, text reads and the out-of-workspace attachment path resolved every path against the Codeman host's own filesystem, so in a remote case every click ended in "File not found" while the file plainly existed on the other machine. A single new ssh read layer (`src/remote-files.ts`, built on the same `buildSshConnectionArgs()` the launch uses) probes realpath and stat for the file and the workspace root in one round trip, then streams the body with `cat` (or a `tail`/`head` slice for a `Range`), so the 200/206/416 contract holds and nothing is buffered on the server. Symlinks are resolved on the host that can resolve them, containment is checked against the resolved remote root, the size cap applies to the remote size before a byte is requested, an unreachable host is a 502 rather than a 404, and there is deliberately no local fallback: a same-named file on the Codeman host is never served under a remote name. Writes, Office previews and generated thumbnails answer 400 for a remote case instead of a misleading 404. Merged with maintainer follow-ups: the `readlink -f` fallback resolved only the directory chain, so on a host without it a symlink's final component was returned unresolved and `ws/notes.txt -> ~/.ssh/id_rsa` passed containment while `cat` served the key; it now follows the last component with plain `readlink` for a bounded number of hops and fails closed (404) on a loop or the cap; `PUT /api/sessions/:id/file-content` answers 400 for a remote case as the PR already claimed (it still validated against the local filesystem, so a same-named local directory took the write); ssh children are bounded by a small semaphore (`CODEMAN_MAX_REMOTE_FILE_SSH`, default 4) covering the attachment-history fan-out, which now probes the whole history in one batched call, and the fire-and-forget magic-link registrations an injected agent could use to fork hundreds of `ssh` processes; probe records are NUL-delimited and index-keyed so a newline in a filename cannot shift one path's result onto the next; and a 502 body never carries the ssh command line. **Docker Compose: bind-mount ownership, override files, a `codeman` runtime account, and no more stale volumes** (#377). A missing bind source (first run, cleared appdata, restored backup) is created root-owned by the daemon, and the unprivileged server crash-looped on `EACCES` when Compose was run directly; the image now starts through an entrypoint that corrects a root-owned bind mount and drops to `PUID:PGID` with `setpriv`, and the compose file adds back only the capabilities that needs. `Start-Codeman.sh` honours `docker-compose.override.yml` (naming a Compose file with `-f` silently disables Compose's own discovery of it), pre-creates the cases directory like it already did for appdata, and detects when the checkout's HEAD or lockfile moved under the `codeman-node-modules`/`codeman-dist` volumes and refreshes them, which used to leave a `docker compose build` serving stale compiled routes. The default runtime account is named `codeman` (it was `opencode`), the four global agent CLIs live in their own `/opt/codeman-cli` prefix so the runtime account can update them in place without owning `/usr/local/bin`, and `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS` is documented and forwarded. Merged with maintainer follow-ups: `cap_add` gains `KILL` (with `init: true` tini runs as root while the server runs as `PUID`, and without CAP_KILL its SIGTERM forward failed and the server was SIGKILLed on every `compose down`/`restart`); the CLI prefix is appended to `PATH` rather than prepended and the root entrypoint pins its own `PATH`, since a `PUID`-writable directory ahead of `/usr/bin` let the runtime account plant a `setpriv` that ran as root on the next start; the entrypoint decides with a real writability probe as the runtime identity instead of an owner comparison, so ACLs, group-writable trees and NFS/CIFS mounts work and only a genuinely unwritable directory is refused, by name; the cases directory is created with the runtime owner after `PUID`/`PGID` are known; the build-source marker is written only when a refresh actually happened, an empty Compose project name falls back to `down --volumes`, the build runs before the `down` so the stack is offline only for the recreate, `docker-compose.override.*` stays out of the image, and `test/docker-entrypoint.test.ts` pins `cap_add` against what the entrypoint needs. ⚠️ Compose users: run `Start-Codeman.sh` once for this release rather than a plain `docker compose up`, so the rebuilt image, the refreshed volumes and the new entrypoint arrive together. **Selected text is visible again on the light skins** (#423, part of #360). Every skin palette named its selection layer `selection`, the key xterm renamed to `selectionBackground` in v5, so all seven skins had been painting xterm's default white at 30% instead of the colour next to it in the palette. Dark skins hid it; on the four light skins a selection was white on near-white. The key is renamed and `test/skin-themes.test.ts` pins it. CI additionally exercises `install.sh`'s dsh identity probe with `timeout` missing under bash 3.2 (#422), the guard #382's fix shipped without. **Eight fixes salvaged from #375** (dignfei; landed with the author's commits preserved, the rest of that PR is covered below). Shift+drag starts a text selection in a pane whose mouse reports go to the CLI, and right-click copies the selection. Ctrl- and Alt-modified navigation keys typed through the CJK composer reach the CLI as the modified sequences instead of plain arrows. A browser whose reliable-input sequence counter fell behind the server's watermark (a restored tab, a cleared localStorage) now recovers: the duplicate ACK carries `dup: true` plus the watermark, the client lifts its counter and re-sends, so a session that had silently stopped accepting typed prompts accepts them again. An SSE reconnect that lands on the session you are already looking at keeps its terminal buffer and resyncs instead of resetting the whole terminal. The hidden offline overlay and the file-preview overlay only apply `backdrop-filter` while shown, which removes a stale compositing layer that swallowed clicks. One adopted Docker container can back several cases at different in-container directories, and the adopt panel gains a "copy an existing case" picker. Of the PR's 27 commits, 14 had already shipped through #357, the selection theme key rename shipped as #423, and foreign tmux adoption plus SSH password auth stay with the author. ### Thanks - **@opticon454** for custom model endpoints (#393), including the part nobody enjoys: working out each CLI's real endpoint mechanism against real binaries and writing down which ones do not work yet instead of claiming they do; and for the Docker Compose deployment fixes (#377), rebased and reworked through three review rounds. - **@shenlvkang-collab** for making single-page apps route inside web tabs and recovering a frame that reloads (#402), the best-engineered PR of this batch, and for the Codex Shift arrows on the phone keyboard bar (#408), verified against Codex's own keymap. - **@dignfei** for the eight fixes salvaged from #375 (terminal selection and copy, CJK navigation keys, input recovery, SSE reconnect, overlay compositing, multi-case adopted containers), landed under their own name. - **@Randalix** for reporting #415 and then fixing it themselves with the whole missing ssh read side for remote cases (#421), with a real-shell test for the probe script and a full route suite. ### Patch Changes - 349a89e: fix(webview): let a proxied single-page app route on its own path, and recover a frame that reloads A dashboard served through a web tab saw `/webview//` as its `location.pathname`, and no app has a route for that: a React Router, Vue Router or Vite dev-server page painted its HTML and CSS and then replaced them with its own "page not found" the moment its script ran. The proxy's runtime shim now rewrites the history entry to the path the page would see on its own origin before any page script runs, while every URL the page emits still goes through the existing rewrite layers (plus `Worker`, `sendBeacon` and `window.open`, which the masked Referer can no longer rescue). A navigation the page starts itself afterwards — a dev server's full-reload HMR, a root-absolute `location.href` — lands on Codeman's root with no capability; it is recognised by shape (an iframe navigation asking for HTML for a path Codeman does not serve), answered with a static page that tells the owning tab which path was lost, and the tab remounts the frame inside the prefix at that path. That answer is served before the credential checks, so it never counts as a failed login. - 013a5d9: File previews, downloads and text reads now work in a **remote (SSH) case**. A remote case's working directory is an absolute path on the _remote_ host, but the file routes resolved it with local `fs` — so a clicked path (or the File Viewer) always failed as "File not found" even though the file existed and the session was clearly working in that directory. `GET /api/sessions/:id/file-raw`, `file-content`, `file-preview` and `file-thumbnail` now resolve and read through the same `buildSshConnectionArgs()` connection the launch uses (`src/remote-files.ts`, one `realpath`+`stat` probe per request returning both the file and the workspace root). Clicked paths that point OUTSIDE the case directory (a remote `/tmp` scratchpad capture, a screenshot elsewhere in the remote home) go through the attachment routes, which had the same local-`fs` assumption: registration, the by-id `raw` stream, the metadata poll and the attachment history list now resolve over ssh as well, so the click-path works whether the file sits inside or outside the case. Which host a record is read from follows the SESSION, never the path string — the same absolute path means a different file on each host, and a remote session never falls back to a local file. The guards are unchanged in strength: the workspace boundary is still enforced (now resolved on the host that can actually resolve it), the sensitive-path blocklist and the size cap (`CODEMAN_MAX_DOWNLOAD_BYTES`) still apply before any bytes are read, and `Range` requests keep working, so remote `
