# aicodeman ## 1.23.1 ### Patch Changes - Fix a fresh-Linux install failure, and bound the browser terminal's live write queue. **install.sh now installs a build toolchain.** Reported against a stock Ubuntu 24 server: node-pty publishes prebuilt binaries for darwin and win32 only, so on Linux it is always compiled from source during `npm install`. The installer set up Node, tmux and git but never a compiler, so a machine without `build-essential` died deep inside node-gyp with `not found: make` — which reads like an npm bug rather than a missing system package. `make`, a C++ compiler and `python3` are now checked up front exactly like git and tmux, installed per distro (apt / dnf / pacman / apk / zypper) behind the same consent prompt, and re-verified afterwards rather than assumed. If `npm install` fails anyway — including on `install.sh update` — it now names the missing tools and the command that installs them instead of leaving a node-gyp stack trace as the last word. **Bounded live xterm backpressure** (#339): live output is now one chunk in flight at a time, released by xterm's own parse callback, so xterm's private WriteBuffer can no longer hide an unbounded backlog behind the browser's 128 KiB render cap; queued, loading and incoming bytes all count against that cap. Automatic drop recovery for a shell stays on the bounded 1 MiB tail — a 100k-line shell capture is tens of MiB, and parsing it on the main thread is the freeze the cap exists to prevent — while TUI modes still recover full history behind the existing downgrade guard. Duplicate SSE terminal events are dropped before JSON parsing while WebSocket owns terminal I/O, and recovery is single-flight per active session. Follow-up hardening: the three write-queue reset paths now also release the in-flight gate, so a parse callback that never lands cannot leave live output permanently stalled. **File Viewer searches the workspace** (#340): the File Viewer search box now queries the server-side file search endpoint with a 250 ms debounce and strict response validation, instead of filtering only the part of the tree already loaded. Tree and search state are scoped to the active session, the hidden-file preference and independent request epochs, so a stale response cannot repaint the panel; cached-tree restoration, directory results and reset behaviour survive session switches and both panel-hide paths. ### Thanks - @dignfei for #339 - @aakhter for #340 - 858b15e: Search the full session workspace from File Viewer while keeping results scoped to the active session and hidden-file preference. ## 1.23.0 ### Minor Changes - DeepSeek Harness as a ninth run mode, DeepSeek agent workers, and detailed rows for the vertical tab rail. **DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) run mode** (#337): DeepSeek's plugin-native agent framework joins Claude Code, shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, Pi and Grok as a run mode. The harness is a profile launcher rather than an agent, so availability is two questions (binary AND a pane-capable profile): the Run button gates on both, a missing terminal profile is offered as a one-click install (`POST /api/deepseek/install-profile`, the only endpoint in Codeman that installs third-party code, fenced accordingly), and the resolver demands the harness's own help banner so Debian's unrelated `dsh` (dancer's shell) can never be spawned. Its permission switch is the `DSH_PERMISSION_MODE` env export (the harness has no bypass flag), injected via tmux setenv and clamped for non-granted owners in multi-user mode, including the env-override path. The community TUI's supervisor-reporting contract makes deepseek the first non-Claude mode with REAL lifecycle signals: a generated status shim turns its idle/working/blocked reports into definitive `stop`/`permission_prompt`/`agent_working` hook events, so dsh sessions get real respawn triggers, real wait signals and red "needs you" alerts instead of output-stabilization guesswork. The vendor's browser UI opens as a managed web tab through a background `dsh web` fenced to Codeman's origin. Docker image support included. **DeepSeek agent workers** (#341): the codeman agent skill can spawn and drive dsh workers like claude ones — tasked, waited on and read with the same calls. `GET /api/sessions/:id/last-response` reads the harness's real zstd transcript (one frame per append; the reader walks frame boundaries itself, since a naive decode silently truncates to the first frame), distinguishes real prompts from plugin-injected context, and reports a failed turn's provider error instead of an empty answer. **Vertical tab rail: detailed rows** (#338): the vertical rail can now show the home screen's per-session line (created stamp, state duration, status pill) via the new per-device `tabRailDetail` setting (default detailed; `simple` restores the 1.22.0 rows). One shared row model and one gate (`isRichTabRows()`) keep the rail, the rich sidebar and both home screens in agreement about what "working" means. A never-sized rail opens at the 320px Wide preset; below 288px the created stamp is dropped, below 240px rows fall back to simple. Also fixes Escape during an inline tab rename committing an empty name (the session then displayed its folder name). **Review hardening across all three** (post-review commits on each PR): multi-user owners without the bypass grant can no longer redirect the server's forwarded `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` via a `DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL` override; waits on `stop`/`blocked` are refused for docker/remote dsh sessions (their status bridge cannot reach the harness) and docker/remote dsh sessions keep the pane reader (their transcripts are not local); dsh approvals are alerts answered in the terminal, never blind keystrokes into a third-party TUI; the status shim forwards the contract's `--seq` token (stale retried reports are dropped server-side) and treats 4xx as permanent so a misconfigured session cannot rate-limit the hook endpoint for the whole instance; concurrent DeepSeek web-UI starts are serialized; cron deepseek jobs run the same launch gate as the HTTP paths; the installer's dsh identity probe is stdin-closed, bounded and memoized; transcript reads are memoized per (path, mtime, size) so 1s polling stops decoding unchanged files; the rail's width dialog, compact-threshold folder rows and reset affordances are rich-aware. ### Patch Changes - b330f1d: Vertical tab rail: detailed rows, and a rename cancel that no longer wipes the name. The vertical rail (Tab Orientation → Vertical) now draws the same per-session line the home screen and the rich sidebar draw — when the session was created, how long it has been in the state it is in, the folder it runs in, and a status pill — instead of just the name. New per-device setting **Vertical Rail Rows** (`tabRailDetail`, App Settings → Appearance → Tabs) with `Detailed` as the default and `Simple (name only)` as the opt-out. A rail that has never been sized now opens at 320px (the existing Wide preset) so the line fits; a narrower rail sheds the created stamp below 288px and falls back to simple rows below 240px. Also fixes a data-loss bug in the inline tab rename that predates the rail: pressing Escape cleared the input and blurred it, and the blur handler commits — so cancelling a rename stored an EMPTY session name and the tab fell back to its folder label. Escape now cancels without a request, in every layout. ## 1.22.0 ### Minor Changes - 3f8c8e9: Add Grok Build (xAI `grok`) as a seventh CLI run mode. SessionMode gains 'grok', with its own resolver (version-probed, since the name has npm squatters; GET /api/grok/status surfaces path + version), GrokConfig (model, alwaysApprove -> --always-approve, resume/continue), GROK*\*/XAI*\* env allowlist entries, the multi-user only-if-sent bypass clamp, Docker (own image step + per-file credential seeding) and remote-SSH command defaults, cron agentType, run-mode/welcome/tab UI with a charcoal identity, and docs (grok-integration.md + plan). Verified end to end against grok 1.0.5 on an isolated instance. - 74194e4: Add the owner-scoped tab-layout model, persistence, API, lifecycle repair, and synchronized legacy ordering foundation. - e3a2fb7: Add an optional resizable vertical session rail with responsive layout, complete labels, accessible controls, and stable inline rename. ### Patch Changes - Fix the file preview's dead pop-out control: a real detach button now opens the previewed file in a browser tab (raw route for PDFs/images/media/text, converted-PDF preview for docx/pptx) and the copy button reports when a preview has no text to copy instead of silently doing nothing. Review-driven hardening for the new tab features: PUT /api/session-order drops unknown ids again instead of rejecting the whole write (a session deleted inside the browser's debounce window could silently lose the user's reorder), a failed mux restore no longer blocks explicit session/webview deletion for the process lifetime (the automated stale sweep stays fail-closed), and the vertical rail gains the axis-awareness the sidebar-only predicates missed: correct drag-reorder insertion, active-tab scroll-into-view, floating windows anchored beside rail tabs, connector redraws on rail scroll, server-seeded orientation applied on first load, a pre-paint stamp so vertical mode no longer flashes through the header strip, and a 12px session-name default matching the sidebar's historical size so untouched installs are not restyled. ## 1.21.0 ### Minor Changes - **`codeman tui`: a terminal dashboard for your sessions.** For the times you are in SSH or Termius instead of a browser. The web UI remains the primary surface and bare `codeman` still prints help, so the dashboard itself is strictly additive. Sessions are grouped NEEDS YOU / WORKING / IDLE / RECENT in the same status language as the web tabs and the phone overview, and the states come from the server (hooks, idle confirmation, the approvals inbox) over the existing HTTP/SSE API rather than being screen-scraped. That is what lets the dashboard answer a permission dialog instead of only reporting one. - `↑↓`/`j`/`k` select; `1`-`9`, `[`/`]` and `Tab` switch between sessions - `Enter` attaches and hands the terminal to tmux; **`F1` comes back**, one key, no modifier. Inside the pane a bar across the top carries the session strip and `Alt+1`..`Alt+9` switch without returning to the dashboard first - `Enter` on a RECENT row resumes that conversation; on a session whose pane has died it refuses and offers `r` to resume it in a fresh pane - `y`/`n`/digits answer the selected session's pending permission or question card (the server re-captures the pane first, so a keystroke can never land in the composer) - `p` sends a one-line prompt without attaching, `x` kills (`y` confirms), `n` starts a session and opens straight into it - `/` cross-session search, `g` away digest, `?` help, live preview pane, plan-usage chip in the header, a terminal bell when a new approval arrives - `codeman tui --list` and `codeman tui ` are scriptable fast paths; with no server running it lists panes straight from the instance's tmux socket, attach-only, and upgrades live when the server comes back Narrow terminals (under 72 columns, a phone SSH client) drop the preview and get a single-column layout. `NO_COLOR`, non-UTF-8 glyph fallback and a non-TTY refusal are all handled. Zero new dependencies: hand-rolled ANSI over chalk and commander. User guide: `docs/tui.md`. **Breaking: the `sc` tmux chooser is retired.** `scripts/tmux-chooser.sh` is deleted and `install.sh` no longer creates the `tmux-chooser` symlink or the `sc` alias; it sweeps both up instead, on update and on uninstall. `codeman tui` replaces it and does the job better: `sc` numbered its entries globally but only accepted a single `[1-9]` keypress, so sessions 10+ were listed and could not be selected, and it inferred nothing about what an agent was doing. The alias cleanup is marker-owned, matching the exact line the installer wrote, so a user's own `alias sc=` for another tool is untouched. **CLI polish that came with it.** - New shared style kit (`src/cli-style.ts`) used across the CLI: semantic palette, glyphs, width-aware table, spinner, confirm. - `codeman doctor` is colorized and its table is measured, so the "Antigravity CLI" label no longer pushes its row out of column. `--json` output is unchanged. - `codeman web` no longer prints its "running at" line twice, and the server's non-loopback security warning is painted like the CLI's (chalk degrades off a TTY, so journald and `web.log` stay free of escape codes). - Spinners on the silent up-to-30s waits in `codeman web -d`, `codeman web --stop` and `codeman service install`. - `codeman reset` asks a real y/N confirmation on a TTY; non-interactive callers keep the old `--force` refusal. - `codeman list` and `codeman session list` share one renderer instead of drifting copies. - `codeman attach` is described correctly in the README (it shows an attachment card for a local file). - `test/cli-commands.test.ts` now derives its inventory from the real commander program instead of a hand-written fixture that had drifted. **Internal.** New `tmux -L` callers resolve the socket through `resolveTmuxSocketName()`, now exported from `config/instance.ts`, so a second process can never point a beta instance at prod's panes. CLAUDE.md and `docs/architecture-invariants.md` both record the rule. ### Thanks The TUI went through seven rounds of beta testing over PuTTY/SSH by **@Ark0N**, which is where the way out of an attach, the session strip, the preview repaint handling and the glyph set all came from. ## 1.20.1 ### Patch Changes - Terminal input and scrollback fixes (PRs #327, #331): - IME punctuation preserved (#327): keyCode 229 / `Process` key events are now delegated to xterm's CompositionHelper instead of being suppressed, so an active Chinese IME committing numbers and full-width punctuation (,。!? and friends) reaches the terminal correctly. The CJK input field sends the browser's committed text instead of guessing from `KeyboardEvent.key`, and the redundant Android orphan-input fallback is removed so xterm is the single input owner. - Shell history replay bounded (#331): selecting a Shell session loads a bounded 1 MiB tail instead of replaying the entire multi-megabyte tmux scrollback on xterm's main thread; full history stays available via the explicit "Load full history" action. tmux history limits now apply correctly on both legacy tmux (global default set in the same command queue before pane creation) and tmux 3.7+ (per-pane targeting that never resizes or trims unrelated live panes). Also adds `Server-Timing` and `[TERMINAL-PERF]` timing stages for terminal loads, fixes `scrollToLastNonEmptyLine` double-counting scrollback rows, and keeps live output ordered behind snapshot replays. ### Thanks - @dignfei for both fixes: the IME punctuation root-cause fix (#327) and the bounded shell history replay with the tmux history-limit correctness work (#331). ## 1.20.0 ### Minor Changes - Response viewer for OpenCode, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi sessions (#326). External CLIs render their own TUIs, so the viewer used to come up empty for them; a new transcript parser (`response-viewer-transcript.ts`) reconstructs the conversation from the pane text instead, and the `?context=full` view now tags every block with a role so prompts render as "You" and agent output as the assistant. The divider normalizer was rewritten as a linear scan after review found catastrophic backtracking on agent-controlled input (minutes of stall on a long dash run), with an equivalence corpus pinning the old accept set. CLIs installed via nvm or Homebrew are now found when Codeman runs as a service (#329). A shared resolver falls back to a login-shell probe when the direct PATH lookup misses, so systemd and LaunchAgent installs no longer report every CLI as missing. Review hardening on top: a failed resolution is negative-cached with doubling backoff instead of re-spawning a login shell on every request, all probes pass `killSignal: 'SIGKILL'` (interactive bash shrugs off SIGTERM, and a blocking `.bash_profile` could have hung the server indefinitely), the resolvers are inert under vitest again so test suites cannot execute binaries found on the dev box, and the improved not-found guidance is wired into both the session-create errors and the per-CLI status endpoints. `GET /api/system/repo-status` reports branch, upstream, ahead/behind and remote reachability for git-clone installs (#328). Review hardening: the git network calls moved off the synchronous path onto a single-flight 45s cache (one slow remote could previously freeze the whole server for up to a minute per request), remote URLs and git stderr are credential-redacted before they leave the server, the spawns use the same non-interactive git env as the clone path, and a local-branch upstream no longer parses into garbage. Auto Copy for the terminal (#325, opt-in, per-device): a finished selection (mouse drag, double or triple click, or a phone long-press) lands on the clipboard by itself, so select-then-copy becomes select. Alongside it, hand-encoded tap reports are now gated on the server-observed `cliMouseTracking` state, so a pane that has fallen back to a plain shell no longer receives `[<0;88;20M` junk on tap. The Ralph loop no longer stops polling after two ticks (#330): the reschedule guard read a stale timer handle that the timer callback never cleared, so the loop silently died while its status stayed `running`. The handle is now nulled as the callback's first statement, and a regression test pins the bug. The red "needs you" tab alert clears when a dialog is answered in the terminal instead of surviving until the end of the turn: the post-hook re-capture could erase the parsed dialog options that the staleness sweep relies on (`applyCapture` is now add-only for options), and a delayed staleness pass now runs while a page is open. The unreachable `copyTerminal()` was removed, closing out #322. ### Thanks - @aakhter contributed the external-CLI response viewer (#326), the repo-status endpoint (#328), the login-shell CLI resolution (#329) and the Ralph reschedule fix (#330) - @rounakdatta reported the mobile copy gap (#322) closed out in this release ## 1.19.7 ### Patch Changes - Mobile catches up: links open from a tap, terminal text can be selected and copied, long prompts stay visible while you type. Plus Files panel search, a bundled Nerd Font symbols fallback, and a per-device terminal font setting. - **Terminal and chat links work on phones** (#321): tapping a URL or file path in terminal output now opens it (new tab, file preview, or log viewer), resolved through the same provider desktop hover uses, so tap and click can never disagree about what is a link. Dialog rows and the composer keep their existing meaning. Response-viewer links open in a new tab with `rel="noopener noreferrer"` instead of navigating the dashboard away. Wrapped links open whole: the logical-line reconstruction now stitches hard wraps through the indent their continuation carries, which also fixes desktop hover-click truncating wrapped URLs. - **Terminal text can be copied on touch devices** (#321): long-press selects the token under the finger, drag or tap the other end to extend, and a small bar offers Copy, Line (the whole logical line, wraps included) and dismiss. Copy works on plain-HTTP installs too. Three guards keep the keyboard down and the selection alive through the browser's own long-press handling. - **A long prompt stays visible on phones** (#321): the local-echo overlay grows upward once it would run past the last visible row (a prompt taller than the screen keeps its tail, where the cursor is), and the keyboard-driven padding shrink can no longer reclaim the space the fixed toolbar and accessory bar stand in. - **Files panel search** (#324): `GET /api/sessions/:id/files?q=...` answers a flat match list (name or path substring, `*`/`?` globs), recursing past non-matching directories with its own match cap on top of the existing bounds; without `q` the response is byte-identical to before. Glob queries are matched without regex so a pathological pattern cannot stall the server. - **Nerd Font prompt glyphs out of the box, custom terminal font** (#320): a bundled icons-only Symbols Nerd Font Mono fallback renders powerlevel10k/starship/oh-my-posh glyphs on every device with no font install, and App Settings gains a per-device terminal font family that is prepended to the built-in stack. ### Thanks Three contributor PRs in one release: thanks to @rounakdatta (#321), @aakhter (#324) and @comzine (#320). - 8a54b33: Clear every production-reachable npm advisory, and fix a service-worker caching regression the upgrade exposed. `npm audit` reported 20 advisories, but 16 were devDependencies-only (Remotion, Puppeteer, postcss, the eslint/tsx toolchain) and never reached anyone installing the package. Four reached production and are now resolved: - **`@fastify/static` 9.1.3 to 10.1.3** — GHSA-8pvw-jcv7-9cmj, authorization bypass via non-canonical URL paths. The advisory covers `<=10.1.1`, so the entire 9.x line is affected and the fix only exists on 10.x. - **`find-my-way` 9.6.0 to 9.8.0** — GHSA-c96f-x56v-gq3h (HTTP/2 DDoS). Not exploitable here since Codeman does not enable HTTP/2, fixed anyway. - **`fast-uri` 3.1.2 to 3.1.5** — GHSA-v2hh-gcrm-f6hx, host confusion via a literal backslash authority delimiter. - **`brace-expansion` to 5.0.9 / 1.1.18** — GHSA-3jxr-9vmj-r5cp, exponential-time expansion DoS. The last three were transitive and only needed a lockfile re-resolve; no `overrides` were added. The `@fastify/static` major changes the `setHeaders` callback's first argument from a Node `ServerResponse` to a `FastifyReply`, which required two fixes: - `res.setHeader()` became `reply.header()`. A v9-style body throws `TypeError: res.setHeader is not a function` from inside the plugin on every static request. - **That change also flips precedence, silently.** The callback used to write to the raw response and be overwritten by the route's staged reply headers; it now writes to the reply and wins instead. That handed `/sw.js` a year of `immutable` in place of the `no-cache, no-store` its route sets, which would pin a service worker on every client with no server-side way to recover. A route that already set `Cache-Control` now keeps it. `ws` also appears in `npm audit` but production is already on 8.21.0, outside the vulnerable range; the only affected copy is bundled under `@remotion/renderer` and is dev-only. Adds `test/static-cache-headers.test.ts`, which drives a real server and covers the caching contract that had no test at all, and moves the floors in `test/dependency-security.test.ts` up to the patched versions. ## 1.19.6 ### Patch Changes - Wiki user manual, a phone tab tap-zone fix, per-parent lineage colours, and two robustness fixes. - **Wiki**: `docs/wiki/` is now a 30-page user manual (installation, quick start, the dashboard, agent CLIs, remote/Docker cases, hooks, security, HTTP API, troubleshooting and more), published to the GitHub wiki by a sync workflow on every push that touches it. - **Phone tabs**: on a narrow phone the active tab's geometric centre could land on its gear icon, so a thumb aiming at the tab opened Session Options instead of switching. The active tab's name now reserves a minimum width, and a static test recomputes the clearance from the stylesheet so widening the icons fails there rather than on a phone. - **Lineage lines**: the arcs between a tab and the tabs it spawned are now coloured per SPAWNING tab, so every arc leaving one tab shares a colour and the strip reads as "these came from w1, those from w2". A child that spawns in turn gets its own colour, so a chain changes colour at each generation. - **File access**: `validateSessionFilePath()` now canonicalizes the workspace as well as the candidate path before comparing them. Resolving only the candidate made a workspace reached through a symlink (`/tmp` on macOS, symlinked project dirs, bind-mounted case paths) report a spurious escape and refuse every read and write in that session. Escapes are still refused. - **Respawn**: a cycle step that is stopped mid-write no longer revives the state machine. `stop()` could land during the `await` on the kickstart / update / clear / init write, after which the controller set itself back to a waiting state and kept running. ### Thanks - @aakhter for the symlink-safe workspace confinement fix (#314) and the respawn stop-race fix (#315). - 98e37bf: Session List Layout gains a third option, "Left sidebar", whose rows carry the same per-session detail the home screen shows. The sidebar previously had one row style: a name and a folder. That is the whole story a tab can tell, but a docked column is not a tab strip — it has width to spare and a row per session either way, and the information that was missing is exactly the information the desktop home rail and the phone overview already put on screen. So the new option lifts it onto the rows: when the session was first created, how long it has been in the state it is in, and a status pill naming that state. - The old "Left sidebar" is now **"Left sidebar simple"** and is unchanged, down to the byte — the stored value stays `sidebar`, so anyone already using it keeps exactly the layout they chose. The new option is `sidebar-rich`. - Both sidebar values are the SAME layout and both set `data-session-list="sidebar"`; row detail rides on a separate `data-sidebar-detail` attribute. That is deliberate: every `isSessionSidebarActive()` call site and every `html[data-session-list="sidebar"]` rule in styles.css and mobile.css keeps matching both, untouched. - Which state a session is in, and which stamp measures it, come from `_mobileOverviewState()` / `_mobileOverviewSince()` rather than being re-derived — the sidebar, the home rail and the phone overview cannot disagree about what "working" means. A working row is measured from the turn's last Enter, not from its last repaint, so a running turn reads `working 12m` instead of `0m`. - The stamps refresh in place on a 20s clock instead of re-rendering: a rebuild would restart every load spinner and alert animation in the list, twice a minute. The clock only runs while rich rows are on screen. - The column widens to 300px for the extra line, and the collapsed 44px rail and the handheld drawer are explicitly held back from that width. - 947ff6f: `npm test` is now the CI gate and is safe to run bare; the suites it cannot run each got their own command. `npm test` ran the everything-config, which fails ~87 tests on a clean master on any machine without chromium, a free port and per-machine PNG baselines. That made the repo's most obvious command useless as a pass/fail signal, and the docs had accumulated "never run bare `npm test`" warnings in four files to work around it. It now runs `config/vitest.ci.config.ts` — exactly what CI runs — so local green means CI green. - New: `test:browser` (5 Playwright files), `test:perf` (2 wall-clock benchmarks), `test:all` (the old everything-behaviour, kept reachable). `test:ci` and `test:mobile` are unchanged; `test:watch` and `test:coverage` follow `test` onto the gate's config. - The exclusion list moved to `config/test-suites.ts`, with the reason each suite cannot run in CI. Every config derives from it, so the gate's excludes and the runners' includes cannot drift. - That drift was a silent hole, not a tidiness problem: a file excluded from CI and added to no runner is tested by NOTHING, and every command stays green, because vitest counts "no files matched" as success. `test/test-suite-partition.test.ts` now fails if any test file is reachable by no runner or by two. - ⚠️ A file filter must match its runner: `npm test -- test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts` matches nothing and exits green having run zero tests, because the gate excludes that path. Use `npm run test:mobile -- `. Documented in CLAUDE.md, and the one place that recommended the old form was corrected. - Docs synced: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, both READMEs, and two ci.yml comments that claimed only `test/mobile/**` was excluded (it is three suites, and 5 Playwright files rather than 3). ## 1.19.5 ### Patch Changes - Closing the session you are looking at now always moves you to the next tab. The delete request and its own `session_deleted` broadcast raced each other: the close path selected the next tab, while the broadcast handler cleared the active session and showed the home screen, and whichever ran first decided what you saw. On one build, closing a tab either switched sessions or dumped you on the welcome screen depending on timing. The close now owns that handoff from beginning to end, and the broadcast handler stays out of the way for a close started in that tab. A session deleted from somewhere else still returns you to the home screen, which is the honest answer when what you were looking at was taken away. The next tab is also picked from sessions that still exist, so a stale entry in the tab order can no longer name a tab that is already gone. ## 1.19.4 ### Patch Changes - Only a human opening a session clears its yellow "waiting for input" tab alert. 1.19.2 made that clear durable and cross-device, which also meant the app itself could spend it: restoring your last session on page load, a popped-out window opening its target, and the fallback to another tab after you close the active one all counted as "I checked it", so a yellow tab could clear itself before you ever saw it. Those three app-driven selections are now marked and skip the acknowledgement, so the alert survives until you actually open the session. Everything a human does still clears it, on every surface: tapping a tab, tapping a row on the phone home screen, the keyboard tab shortcuts, and submitting a prompt into the session. The flag defaults to user-initiated, so a selection path nobody marked keeps acknowledging rather than leaving an alert nothing can clear. ## 1.19.3 ### Patch Changes - Red "needs you" tab alerts now follow the dialog instead of the keyboard. Typing in the terminal no longer clears a red alert. It used to clear every pending alert on the device you typed on, but a permission or question dialog ignores keystrokes that are not one of its options, so the dialog was still open and still blocking: the other devices stayed red and a reload brought the red back on the first one. Input now spends the yellow idle alert only, and it does that through the server-side acknowledgement added in 1.19.2, so the clear is durable and reaches every device. A dialog answered in the terminal now clears by itself. Claude Code fires no "permission answered" hook, so the item stayed pending until the whole turn ended, and any page load in between re-armed a red alert for a dialog that was long gone. Listing approvals now re-captures the pane and resolves items whose dialog is no longer on screen, using the same conservative check the answer path already uses: only an item whose original frame parsed numbered options can be dropped this way, so an unreadable capture keeps the alert rather than losing a live one. Measured against a real AskUserQuestion dialog: the stale item cleared 5 seconds ahead of the stop hook that used to be the only signal, while a dialog still on screen survived 11 consecutive listings over 55 seconds untouched. ## 1.19.2 ### Patch Changes - Yellow "waiting for input" tab alerts now stay cleared once you have checked them, on every device. Viewing a session used to clear its idle alert in that browser's memory only. The server-side approval store still held the prompt, so the next page load seeded the alert straight back and a tab you had already checked went yellow again, while your other devices never heard about the click at all. Opening a session now acknowledges its pending idle prompt server-side (`POST /api/approvals/session/:sessionId/viewed`, a new `acknowledgedAt` field on approval items, broadcast as `approval:updated`), so the clear survives reloads and reaches every connected client. Acknowledgement is deliberately not resolution: the prompt is still unanswered, so the item stays in the Approvals Inbox, stays answerable, and stays available as Read My Mind context, it just stops arming the tab alert. Permission and question dialogs are never acknowledged this way, since looking at a dialog does not answer it, so the red "needs you" alert survives being viewed. Clicking the tab you are already on now clears the alert as well; that path returned early before, so an alert armed on the active tab could not be cleared by clicking at all. ## 1.19.1 ### Patch Changes - Follow-up hardening from the 1.19.0 reviews, across all three of that release's areas (#309, #310, #311). Home screens: the activity ordering introduced in 1.19.0 now stays truthful. Hook events push a session state broadcast, so a blocked session ranks by a fresh stamp instead of whatever the page loaded with; a working row with no recorded submit shows the same stamp it sorts by; Alt+1..9 resolves through the live sessions the tabs actually paint, so a stale id in the saved order can no longer shift every number off its target; and the "most recently quiet" ordering survives restarts, since recovery now restores each session's previous activity stamp from state.json instead of restamping everything at boot (previously every deploy flattened the ordering to tab order). Files and sidebar: playable media extensions are pinned to the attachment registry by a parity test, so an in-workspace .m4a/.flac/.opus opens the preview player instead of the log viewer; /etc paths no longer render as links that can only 403; the sidebar session count counts the rows actually on screen (web tabs included, filtered rows excluded) and follows the filter box; connectors re-anchor on incremental renders in sidebar layout; and ~/.claude.json plus ~/.claude/settings(.local).json are blocked from file serving, home-anchored only, so case-level .claude files stay viewable. Workspace hooks: the install-vs-refresh decision is one shared core that every claude create path routes through, so the workspaceHooksEnabled setting now also applies to cron jobs, legacy scheduled runs, and plan-orchestrator one-shots; a shell session in a docker case no longer authors a hooks block; the boot sweep no longer resurrects a deleted workspace as an empty directory; and the statusLine exporter got the same remote-attach and cwd-fallback guards as the hooks install. ## 1.19.0 ### Minor Changes - c01edcb: Add an optional collapsible left session sidebar as an alternative to the header tab strip. With many concurrent sessions the horizontal strip wraps into several rows and stops being scannable. The new layout puts the session list in a vertical `
