Codeman maintainer ccb3afc9ee fix(multiuser): close cross-user web-layer scoping holes found in review
The opt-in multi-user feature's only enforcement is web-layer scoping
(all sessions share one OS account). An adversarial review found 8 critical
+ 7 high cross-user holes that defeated it, plus mediums; all fixed here.
Single-user (flag-off) behavior stays byte-identical apart from documented
consistency deltas.

Ownership / confinement:
- DELETE /api/sessions (bulk) + /:id now owner-scope / findSessionOrFail
- quick-start, cron (create+fire), scheduled runs confine workingDir to the
  owner's space; case link/docker-link/docker-import confine the host path
- resolveCasePath no longer resolves linked cases for non-admins; foreign
  remote/docker cases are skipped (fall through to the caller's own local case)
- history, subagents/workflows, mux-sessions, orchestrator, cron run-history,
  away-digest, and remote/docker host reads are owner- or admin-scoped

Permission policy (section 6.3):
- non-granted users are downgraded at every spawn site incl. legacy
  /api/scheduled, PlanOrchestrator one-shots, remote launch, and the cron-fire
  gemini/codex bypass switches; resolveClaudeModeForUsername now fails closed

Auth / store:
- verify-first login throttle (a correct password is never locked out),
  /ws terminal subject to the change-password lockbox, cookie fast-path
  re-validates identity live, role/grant changes revoke sessions, admin delete
  runs the last-admin guard before any teardown
- users.json: distinguish missing (ENOENT) from corrupt/unreadable so a bad
  read can't overwrite all accounts; unique per-process temp write path

Event streams:
- debounced session:updated + batched task:updated, clipboard, and push
  notifications route by owner (fail closed); getLightState hides machine-wide
  globalStats from non-admins

Tests: two suites updated to assert the fixed (secure) behavior. tsc, eslint,
and test:ci all green.

Opt-in multi-user mode (--multiuser / CODEMAN_MULTIUSER=1, off by default).

Named users with individually scrypt-hashed passwords in ~/.codeman/users.json, per-user case spaces under ~/codeman-users/<name>/cases, and ownership scoping of sessions (create/list/delete/mutate, incl. bulk delete), cases, cron jobs + run history, scheduled runs, search, file previews, session history, away digest, subagent/workflow monitors, and real-time SSE/WS streams (including the debounced session/task update path, clipboard, and push notifications). A non-admin's workingDir is realpath-confined to their own space at every spawn/link path (session create, quick-start, cron create/fire, scheduled runs, case link/docker-link, docker import). Non-admin users default to Claude's classifier-guarded --permission-mode auto; raw shell mode, cron launchCommand, skip-permissions, and the Codex/Gemini bypass switches require an explicit per-user canBypassPermissions grant (enforced at every spawn site incl. one-shots, plan generation, scheduled runs, and remote launches). Machine-level resources (remote/Docker hosts + host reads, mux sessions, orchestrator, tunnel, self-update, settings) are admin-only. Admin API (/api/admin/users*) with one-time passwords, last-admin invariants (validated before any teardown), and an append-only audit log; self-service /api/me + password change; a frontend admin Users tab + change-password modal; and codeman users add|passwd|list|rm CLI. Also adds a global auto Claude startup permission mode. When off, behavior is byte-identical to single-user.

Auth hardening: the login throttle verifies the password before consulting the per-account failure bucket (a correct password can never be locked out); the mustChangePassword lockbox covers the WebSocket terminal; the cookie fast-path re-validates identity against the store each request (so a CLI/admin delete/disable/demote takes effect promptly); a role/grant change revokes the target's sessions. (Known limitation: a bare CLI codeman users passwd reset — no delete — does not by itself revoke an already-active cookie until it expires; use codeman users rm, the admin API, or a restart to force-revoke.) Data-integrity hardening: the store distinguishes a missing users file from a corrupt/unreadable one (so a transient read error can't overwrite all accounts) and writes via a unique per-process temp file; the earlier fire-and-forget touchLastLogin corruption race is serialized.

Note: multi-user mode separates workspaces for a trusted team; it is not a security boundary between users (all sessions share the host OS account). Pair with Docker cases for real isolation.
