A session popped out while the grid was open (its pop-out button, or
another dashboard tab announcing the pop-out over the window channel) left
the grid through _markDetached, which removed its tile as if the user had
closed it: the stored count dropped to five and its cell stayed a hole the
ranking never filled, so after the window re-docked Tiles off and on showed
five tiles and an empty cell. Popping out with the grid closed, or a reload
reconcile, already kept the count and refilled the cell.
_markDetached now removes the tile as `gone` (it left by itself), the same
as a deleted session or a refused socket, so the count stays and the next
activation fills the cell from the ranking.

After a session's first load per page, a tab switch fetched a 1 MiB tail of
the server's byte stream. For a fullscreen claude pane (alternate screen,
tmux `history_size` 0) that tail is old repaints of one frame, and an idle
tab parsed it twice (the cached copy, then the fresh one).
Every terminal response now records `paneHistoryLines` per session, and
`selectSession` takes `full=1` whenever the last report was 0. For such a
pane that capture is the visible frame, a few KB, which is also what a page
load already shows. A response without the field forgets the entry, so
unknown never counts as empty; a pane that starts keeping history goes back
to the tail on the next switch. Shells and the refresh path are unchanged.
Measured with real prod payloads through the real client in chromium:
median switch 1.26-1.66 s -> 0.10-0.19 s, parse ~1.1-1.5 s -> 2-3 ms.

A page reload restores the stored grid inside handleInit; a cell freed by a
session gone since is filled from the ranking. handleInit syncs the tab
order and loads the session states before the restore runs, so the fill
ranks with real data: this test runs the real syncSessionOrder against a
server snapshot order and shows a working session taking the freed cell
ahead of the first tab. Pending approvals are seeded asynchronously after
init, so the needs-input group cannot rank on a reload.

The Tiles toggle used to fill a remembered grid to the count picked in the
menu (refilling a hole the user made, or trimming tiles), removing the last
tile or "Open group as tiles" forgot it, and Ctrl/Cmd+click repacked it.
The owner asked for the opposite: "when I turn tiles off and on, always
keep what the last setting was".
Now the layout the user arranged (which session sits in which cell, holes
included, the tile count, the divider sizes, the focused tile and a zoom
they chose) is written to localStorage on every change and comes back
exactly from the toggle, Ctrl+Shift+G and a reload, however the grid was
closed (toggle, a non-tiled tab, leaveTiles or a #session= link, Home, the
width gate, the last tile, a group, closing or killing sessions). Nothing
of it reaches the server.
- The stored value stays v: 1 and gains `count`: how many tiles the user's
own last change left. A session that goes away by itself (deleted,
popped out, socket refused) does not lower it, so the next activation
fills that cell from the ranking; a hole the user made stays a hole.
- sanitizeTileGridState reports `freed` cells (sessions gone since) and
derives `count` for values written before it; restoreTileGridCells (pure)
puts a stored grid back, freed cells first, never trimmed to the window
(a too-small window shows the focused tile until it fits).
- Only when none of the stored sessions survive does activation rank from
scratch. A count picked in the menu still re-forms the grid to it.
- Nothing is persisted while a stored grid is being put back, and a
#session= link only flips `open`, keeping gone ids for the fill.
- The hover card no longer promises "a click opens N" when a stored grid
will open instead.
This supersedes decision 10's answer that the count wins over a
remembered grid's size; the affected tests say so.

The "Showing the most recent 1.0 MB of this session. 4.8 MB more may still
be retained." bar covered the top of the terminal on nearly every tab switch,
and for fullscreen claude panes it could never be acted on: `truncated`
measures the server's byte stream, while Load full history asks tmux, which
holds no scrollback for a pane that lives in the alternate screen.
- The capture reads `#{history_size}` in the cursor query it already makes
and the terminal route returns it as `paneHistoryLines`.
- A reported 0 hides the notice; a positive count replaces the byte gap in
the message.
- The notice is lazy: it appears once a wheel/touch gesture reaches the top
of the browser buffer (after the pull that gesture starts), leaves when
the user scrolls back to live output or switches tabs, and its dismissal
sticks per session until reload.
- formatHistoryBytes no longer prints "1024 KB" just under 1 MiB.

npm takes the package's readme from an unsorted {README,README.*} glob at
publish time, and with README.zh-CN.md beside README.md it kept picking the
Chinese one, so npmjs.com rendered it. `npm run release` now runs
scripts/npm-release.mjs, which moves README.zh-CN.md to a dot-name for the
length of `changeset publish` and always puts it back (also on a failed or
thrown publish, and after an interrupted earlier run). It lives in the publish
command, not in release.yml, because changesets/action commits the working
tree into its version PR. Verified with npm's own normalize: README.zh-CN.md
before, README.md with the file aside, and the aside copy is never packed.
package.json: the description names the CLIs and says self-hosted (the old
"run 20 autonomous agents" was an internal performance target), and homepage
points at getcodeman.com instead of repeating the repository link.

The Tiles button with no stored grid opened the first tabs, so the oldest
sessions got tiles while the busy ones were left out. It now ranks the
open sessions: working first (the most recently started turn first, keyed
off lastSubmitAt only, since a working pane's activity stamp is always
"now"), then the ones needing input (the red and yellow tab alerts), then
everything else by most recent activity, tab order breaking ties.
The ranking is pure (rankTileSessions in constants.js) and reuses the home
screens' classification (_mobileOverviewState) and stamps. It feeds the
toggle's fresh set, a count picked in the menu, Ctrl/Cmd+click and an open
split's fill. The active session is still always included and focused,
detached sessions are never tiled, and a page without the classifier falls
back to tab order. The vm harness now loads mobile-overview.js so the app
tests exercise the real classifier.

183efacc turned drag off while the rail search narrows the list, as the
owner asked, by refusing the flat manual rail's dragstart. That also
refused a drag that never reorders anything: with the tile grid open, a
found tab dragged onto a tile or an empty cell set no draggedTabId, so
_acceptTabDrops() (tile-grid.js) saw nothing and the drop was lost. On
the PR head that drop replaced or swapped the tile. The owner's reason
covers the reorder only: a reorder drop is saved for every device,
relative to rows the search hides, while the tile grid is per-device and
lands beside nothing hidden.
dragstart is unconditional again. The rows refuse the reorder instead:
their dragover returns before preventDefault while _tabRailSearchActive()
(the browser shows no-drop and fires no drop there), and their drop
returns before touching sessionOrder, for anything above the row that
might let a drop through. `draggable` stays on, so a cleared search
reorders with the same rows. The grouped rail's pointer drag keeps its
refusal in _onTabLayoutPointerDown(): it has no drop target besides the
rail.
Test: during a search that leaves both rows showing, dragstart is not
cancelled and sets draggedTabId, dragover on another row is not
accepted, a drop there leaves sessionOrder alone and saves nothing, the
real _acceptTabDrops() binder accepts the drag on a tile and hands it
the id, and after clearing the same rows reorder. It fails on the
previous commit, without the dragover guard, and without the drop guard.
CLAUDE.md, the invariants, the Dashboard wiki row and the release
changeset now say reordering by drag is off and a tile drop still works.

A floating subagent or ultracode window whose parent session's row the
rail search hid drew its connector from the viewport's top-left corner.
The hidden row is display:none, and getBoundingClientRect() still
answers it with an all-zero DOMRect, which is truthy, so the
`if (!tabRect) continue` paths never skipped it and _tabAnchor() put the
line at (0, 0) ("M 0 0 C 350 0, 350 400, 700 400" in Chromium). The
sidebar filter already had the same defect; #580 brought it to the rail,
and the keystroke redraw from 5f373a93 now ran it on every keystroke that
hides the parent.
A new _paintedSessionTab() in app.js returns the parent's row only while
getClientRects() is non-empty, and every place a floating window
measures its parent tab goes through it:
- the shared `tab:<id>` rect cache, filled by the subagent connectors
and by both ultracode connector layers (all three fill it, so guarding
only the first would let the next one cache the zero rect itself);
- the ultracode window's spawn position, which now cascades;
- the subagent window's fly-from-tab spawn, the same defect, not in the
report, now positioned as a window without a tab;
- the ultracode genie on minimize, which now tears down at once.
Lineage lines need nothing: they measure on a cache miss and computeTree
already drops zero-size rects.
Tests: in the gate, with the page laid out by hand (jsdom has no
layout), a subagent window, an ultracode run window and an ultracode
agent window from a hidden row draw no line and draw it again from the
row once the search is cleared, an ultracode window spawns from a
painted row and cascades from a hidden one, and the genie is skipped for
a hidden row. In the browser suite, real Chromium shows the hidden row's
rect is all zero and the connector is gone, then back after Clear. All
four fail on the previous commit. CLAUDE.md and the invariants'
Connectors bullet record the rule.

Closing a tab took ~0.55-0.7s on an idle machine, more with child
processes or recently active subagents. Most of it was waiting:
- The web UI kept the tab until DELETE returned, then removed it on the
100ms tab-render debounce, which every session update restarts.
closeSession() is now optimistic: the tab, tile and split go and the
next session is selected before the request is sent, rendered at
once. A refused delete (checked with a GET, since a delete can land
and lose its reply) puts the row back at its old index with the
error toast. This also fixes a latent bug: _apiDelete never throws,
so an HTTP error used to report "Session closed" while the session
kept running. SSE upserts skip ids that are being closed.
- The kill path slept fixed intervals (100ms PTY grace, 200ms for the
pane's children, 100ms for the process group) and verified in 100ms
steps. waitForProcessesExit() (utils/process-exit-wait.ts) keeps
every deadline but returns once the processes are gone, counting a
zombie as exited. Signal decisions keep kill(pid, 0).
- tmux kill-session and the pane-pid lookup ran via execSync, freezing
the server for ~70ms per close. Now async.
- killSubagentsForSession() ran a full `pgrep -f claude` scan per
active/idle subagent (~85ms each with ~100 matching processes). It
now scans once for all of them.
Measured on an isolated instance: click to tab gone 540-690ms -> 58-95ms;
DELETE of a claude session ~450ms -> ~200-260ms.

From the owner's review of #580 rather than the bot's report: "Drag
while searching: I'd turn it off. A drop is saved for every device
(session order or the tab layout), and where it lands relative to the
rows the search is hiding is something you only see after clearing it."
The PR head left drag on.
Both rail drags now refuse while the search narrows the list: the
grouped rail's pointer drag in _onTabLayoutPointerDown(), and the flat
manual rail's HTML5 drag in its dragstart listener. The flat rail is
refused in the listener, not by flipping `draggable`, because a
keystroke in the box does not re-render the rows, so a cleared search
drags again with the same rows. The sidebar filter box, the header strip
and the keyboard moves (Ctrl+Shift+{ }, the row menu) are unchanged.
Tests: a grouped-rail press during a search starts no drag and one after
clearing does; a flat-rail dragstart during a search is refused and one
after clearing goes through. CLAUDE.md and the Dashboard wiki row say
so.

CodemanTabSearch lower-cased the query and each row with
toLocaleLowerCase(), i.e. the browser's locale. Under a Turkish or Azeri
locale "API Review" lowers to "apı review", so a search for "api" missed
it, and the sidebar filter box, which used locale-independent
toLowerCase() before #580, changed matching with it. Both now use
toLowerCase(), like every other frontend search.
Test: a vm context of its own whose toLocaleLowerCase behaves like the
Turkish locale (the prototype is that context's alone) checks that "API"
still normalizes to "api" and that "API Review" matches. The test file's
overview also lists the pins the #580 fixes added.

Since the sidebar filter and the rail search share _applyTabListFilter(),
the sidebar's filter box also marks a .tab-cluster it emptied in the
by-case tab layout and rewrites its count. But the only rule hiding
.tab-cluster.tab-filtered-out was the rail-scoped one, so in the sidebar
the emptied box stayed painted with its label and a count of 0 while its
rows were hidden.
The sidebar rule now hides the marked case box as well. It stays scoped
to html[data-session-list="sidebar"], so a leaked class still cannot hide
anything on the header strip. An alerted row still counts toward its box
(the owner's call on #580), so a box holding a row that needs the user
never hides.
Tests: a unit test renders the sidebar in the by-case layout and checks
the emptied box is marked with a 0 count, that an alerted row keeps its
box on screen and counted, and that clearing restores the totals; a
stylesheet check pins the scoped selector; the browser test measures the
shipped styles.css in Chromium: the marked box is not painted in the
sidebar layout, an unmarked one is, and the header layout hides nothing.

A keystroke in the rail search box that does not change the group
structure only toggles classes, so hidden rows collapsed and the rows
below them moved up while the lineage lines and the subagent/ultracode
connectors kept pointing at the old positions until the next render. The
sidebar filter box had the same gap for its connectors.
_applyTabListFilter() now notes whether anything it touched actually
appeared or disappeared (a row, a group or case box, the state headings
via tabs-filtering, the "No sessions match" line) and calls
updateConnectionLines() only then. That covers both boxes and the alert
re-render, costs nothing on the re-apply every render tail runs when
nothing changed (the incremental path's lineage gate keeps its meaning),
and coalesces with a render's own redraw.
Same flag, owner's optional nit from the review: the grouped tree's
posinset/roving-stop fix-up at the filter tail now runs only while a
search hides something or right after one changed what shows, since both
render paths already set them over an unfiltered tree.
Tests: unit tests for the rail keystroke path (flat and grouped rail, no
render taken), the empty note, the sidebar box, and no redraw when
nothing moved; the browser test checks in Chromium that a class-only
keystroke moves a row up and redraws exactly once.

The global key handler in setupEventListeners() sits on document in the
capture phase, so it ran before the box's inline onkeydown: the Escape that
cleared the search also ran closeAllPanels() (collapsing the Monitor and
Subagents panels), closeHelp() and closeSessionManager(). Calling
stopPropagation() from the inline handler came too late.
The global Escape branch now claims an Escape whose target is
#tabRailSearch while the box holds text, the same way it already claims
one for the group menu, the grouped-rail drag and the Tiles count menu,
and routes it to handleTabRailSearchKeydown(). An empty box still leaves
Escape to the global handler, and an Escape that cancels an IME
composition is left to the IME.
Tests: the unit test installs the real global listener and asserts that
Escape with text in the box closes nothing, that an empty box closes as
before, and that an Escape outside the box is not claimed. The browser
test installs setupEventListeners() for real in Chromium, so the
capture-before-inline ordering is the shipped one.

The route test cleared only the registry CLIs' relocation vars, so with
COPILOT_HOME exported it wrote its fixture into that real Copilot config.
It now clears the sync-only tools' vars too, and Copilot's install probe goes
through the test's own installed set instead of the machine's PATH.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, the API reference and the Settings reference name COPILOT_HOME

Conflicts resolved against the release branch: docs/api-reference.md keeps
both new sections (codeman agent CLI, then Prompt uploads);
test/test-ports-guard.test.ts takes the release side (#570 already removed
the legacy list); test/paste-image-dir-shared.test.ts keeps #570's ephemeral

Also at merge: the Docker sentence in the route comment and the API reference

A session with a tab alert (red action or yellow idle, whatever tabAlerts
holds, the same set a collapsed group header surfaces) now stays visible
while the rail search or the sidebar filter is narrowing the list, even
when its name does not match. A prompt waiting on you should never be
hidden by a view filter.
The pure CodemanTabSearch.filter decides it: a row passed with keep: true
is never hidden. It counts toward its group, so the group stays on screen
and the header number is the rows left showing, but not toward
matchCount, so "No sessions match" still shows above a lone alerted row.
_applyTabListFilter() flags session rows from tabAlerts; web tabs carry
no alerts and are never kept.
No new wiring: updateTabAlertFromHooks() and _onSessionWorking() already
call renderSessionTabs(), and both render paths end in the shared filter.
- zh-CN entries for the two new rows (label and description).
- The toast test header still described the dropped drawer logging, and the
noise test typed three members nothing uses any more.
- clickNotification's closing brace had been re-indented by accident.

A "Search sessions" box at the top of the vertical tab rail narrows the
list to the tabs whose name matches (case-insensitive substring; a web
tab matches by its title). It searches every group, collapsed ones
included: while a search runs the projection draws every group open and
the header will not toggle, and the stored per-device collapse state is
left alone. Groups with no match hide, an empty result says "No sessions
match", and the flat rail (no groups) filters the same way. Escape or
the clear button empties it; leaving the vertical orientation resets it.
It is a view filter only: rows get the same tab-filtered-out class the
sidebar filter box uses, through one shared _applyTabListFilter() over
the pure CodemanTabSearch matcher in constants.js. Grouping, order,
Alt+N badges and drag are untouched, nothing is persisted or sent to
the server. The sidebar keeps matching name plus working directory.
In the grouped tree, hidden rows and the headers of emptied groups leave
the roving walk and posinset/setsize, and the tab stop moves onto a
visible item. zh-CN strings added.
Custom model endpoints were never gated on the saved flag; the PR's changeset
and JSDoc were narrowed in review, the test header was not.

Review fixes for "place new, child and web tabs into groups".
- Spawned tabs follow their parent only with the new synced setting
spawnedTabsFollowParent (App Settings > Appearance > Tabs, off by default).
TabLayoutService.sessionCreated() reads it fresh through a
childrenFollowParent dep: off, a spawned session lands after its parent and
is marked manual in the same write; on, it follows until moved by hand. The
row menu shows the placement note and "Follow parent again" only when on.
"New session" in a group menu is unaffected. zh-CN label and a
Settings-Reference row.
- applyLegacySessionRank marks a child manual only when the requested order
splits it from its parent's block. A PUT of the current order, or one that
moves a family together, leaves every stored placement alone.
- The browser never echoes a create or delete through PUT /api/session-order,
with or without groups: the layout service already re-projects the order and
broadcasts it, and syncSessionOrder adopts it.
- The placement note in the row menu is plain text described by the menu, not
a focusable menu item.
- A tab that first appears inside a collapsed group briefly marks that group's
header.
- i18n skips .tab-name, so tab names are never translated.
- Tests: legacy-order cases for an unchanged order, a family reorder and a
split; service cases for the setting and for order PUTs; the scheduled
registration test now exercises register/undo; the grouped-create test binds
port 0; one route case runs through the real layout service.
Review follow-up after the rebase onto 1.40.0, where tiles began paging a
hollow buffer through the shared CodemanTerminalInput helpers and opencode
joined the hollow check (#555).
- opencode declares transcriptPageKeys in stock.ts, so the paging list read
by both panes is claude, codex and opencode. Without it, reading the
capability instead of the old id check would have turned opencode paging
off again. The stock-set and render tests name it.
- The gesture rules (first trackpad-sized event pages at once and is owed
back, wheel notches accumulate, a pre-paid debt dies with its gesture,
pinch and mostly horizontal swipes are consumed without paging) move out
of the primary pane into the pure CodemanTerminalInput.pageKeysForGesture.
The primary pane and TerminalTile both call it with their own state, so a
Codex or opencode tile pages exactly like the main pane.
- The dialog check stays per pane: the primary pane reads tabAlerts for the
active session, a tile for its own sessionId, so a wheel over a tile never
pages into that session's permission prompt while the focused tab is clear,
and a tile is not blocked by a dialog in another tab.
Tests: pure helper cases in terminal-scroll-routing, tile cases for Codex
paging, first-event paging, notch accumulation, pinch and swipe, byte parity
with the primary pane over a mixed sequence, and the per-session dialog
check in both directions.
A grid tile or the split's Pane B (TerminalTile) left the mouse wheel to
xterm for a session running Claude's fullscreen renderer (claude 2.1.187+
with mouse tracking on, cliMouseTracking). That renderer scrolls its own
transcript on SGR wheel reports, which the primary pane sends it, while the
tile's xterm holds only Codeman's replayed repaint frames (tmux keeps no
history for such a pane). So in a grid of fullscreen Claude sessions the
wheel either scrolled nothing or dragged stale frames, Claude's pinned input
box with them, up the tile, and Claude's transcript never moved. This was
tile-grid-plan follow-up 4.
The tile now forwards the wheel the way the primary pane does
(TerminalTile._maybeForwardWheelToCli): the primary pane's own gate,
_shouldForwardWheelToApp(ev, target), asked for the tile's terminal and
session; the cell from _clientPointToCell(x, y, tile.terminal); a scrolled-up
viewport snapped to the live screen first; and the reports flushed through
the tile's own 40 ms coalescer to the tile's session (the primary queue
flushes to the active session). The encoding moved into pure helpers in
terminal-ui.js, CodemanTerminalInput.wheelDeltaWholeLines and
sgrWheelReports, which the primary pane's _wheelScrollLines and
_sendSyntheticSgrWheel now call too, so the two panes send identical bytes.
Shift+wheel, the explicit local-scrollback gesture, was dead in every tile
off macOS: Chrome on Windows delivers it as a horizontal wheel (deltaX), and
xterm's own scroller turns a Shift+vertical wheel into a horizontal one. The
tile now scrolls it itself (_maybeScrollLocalOnShift: scrollLines() on the
dominant axis, sub-line travel carried over, a shell tile's history pull
still asked on the way up), as the primary pane's capture-phase handler does.
Unchanged: inline Claude, opencode and older Claude still take the
PageUp/PageDown route (#555), shells and other modes keep xterm's own plain
wheel, and a tracking xterm or the alternate buffer stays xterm's.
Tests: test/terminal-tile-scroll.test.ts covers forwarding (geometry, tick
cap, coalescing, viewport snap, the tile's session rather than the active
one, Shift/tracking/alternate exclusions, byte equality with the primary
pane) and Shift+wheel (Windows deltaX shape, sub-line carry, shell history
pull). test/terminal-tile-scroll.browser.test.ts adds a real-Chromium case
with trusted page.mouse.wheel() events.

Review follow-up for the hollow-pane PageUp/PageDown fallback
(_maybePageCliTranscript):
- A mostly horizontal wheel swipe (both deltas present, |deltaX| > |deltaY|)
is consumed without paging. The touch path already locks its axis.
- A pinch (wheel events with ctrlKey, as Chrome reports one) is consumed
without paging.
- Only a trackpad-sized opening event (under 2 rows) pages at once. A wheel
notch (100 px, 4 rows) accumulates toward half a screen as before, so five
slow notches send one PageUp again instead of five. A debt from a pre-paid
page still dies with its gesture; plain wheel travel carries across notches.
- Nothing pages while the active tab's alert is 'action' (a pending
permission_prompt or elicitation_dialog), so a page key never reaches an
open dialog's selector.
Docs: the invariants paragraph now says which Codex versions were seen
drawing on the alt screen (0.157.1, 0.160) and that 0.147.0 still draws
inline, without claiming a cutoff.
Two changes to the last-resort page-key scroll (_maybePageCliTranscript), the
path a wheel or touch gesture takes when it is not forwarded to the CLI and
the local xterm buffer has no history (normal buffer, baseY 0).
Codex now takes that path too. Newer codex draws on tmux's alternate screen,
which the full strip hides from xterm, so a codex pane is as hollow as a
repaint-mode Claude pane and the wheel did nothing. Codex still ignores SGR
wheel reports and is still never forwarded the wheel; this sends plain
PageUp/PageDown keys, which codex does page its transcript on (measured on
0.157.1 locally and 0.160 over a remote session). Which modes may page is a
new registry capability, capabilities.transcriptPageKeys (claude and codex in
stock.ts), published to the page as window.__codemanTranscriptPageKeys, so
terminal-ui.js holds no CLI id for it.
The first event of a gesture now pages at once. The fallback used to send a
key only after half a screen of accumulated travel (19 rows, about 475px on a
38-row pane), so an ordinary trackpad flick sent nothing. The skipped travel is
owed back by the rest of the gesture, keeping one page per half screen; a pause
of more than 150 ms, a direction change or a tab switch starts a new gesture.
New sessions, spawned child sessions and saved web tabs now land in tab
groups instead of always starting in Ungrouped.
New session in a group:
- The group menu gains "New session" (first item). It expands a collapsed
group and runs ONE launch with the current case and run mode; a launch
already in flight is reported, not queued.
- run({ count, tabGroupId }) threads the group through every launch path
(local POST /api/sessions, remote/docker and external-CLI
/api/quick-start). The count overrides the steppers for that launch only.
- Server: POST /api/sessions and /api/quick-start accept an optional
tabGroupId (Zod, 1-100 chars; null/empty is a 400). The routes pass it to
addSession(), and TabLayoutService.sessionCreated() places the session at
the end of that group in the SAME versioned write that first records it.
The session is added to the live map inside the owner lock (with a
rollback when the write fails), so no queued layout edit can commit it
first. The group is looked up in the creating owner's own layout, so an
unknown, deleted or foreign id is ignored instead of failing the spawn. An
explicit group is a hand placement: a child placed this way is manual.
- The create response carries the committed tabLayout (only when tabGroupId
was sent), adopted before the new tab is drawn. Responses without the
field are unchanged.
Child sessions (parentSessionId / X-Codeman-Parent-Session):
- A child nobody placed follows its parent: the server's existing
normalization already puts it after the parent's rows; the browser now
draws a not-yet-stored child there too (project({ parents })) and, while
groups exist, adopts the server's order instead of echoing its own append
back through PUT /api/session-order (which pinned every child manual).
- The row menu says where a child sits (follows, placed by hand, parent
closed, parent loop) and offers "Follow parent again" only to a hand-placed
child. A child whose parent is gone stands on its own and is never
re-adopted.
Saved web tabs:
- Web tabs are layout refs like sessions; openness stays per device. A
grouped web tab shows (and takes an Alt+N slot) only while open here and
reopens where the layout keeps it. Pinned by tests; no behaviour change.
Unchanged: the flat rail and header strip (markup, HTML5 drag, append and
save on create), the tree semantics and single tab stop, sessionOrder and
Alt+N, and every request that does not send tabGroupId.
A failed upload only showed a count, so a remote session's refused upload read as a mystery instead of a rule the user could act on. The server already returns the reason in its error envelope and the per-file error carries it, so I surface the first one in the toast. One reason is enough when a whole batch fails for the same cause.
The hourly sweep called lstatSync and realpathSync on every live session's working directory, so a linked case on a mount that stopped answering blocked the event loop 30 s after boot and then every hour; the old sweep was fully async. uploadDirs() now probes the workspace with probePathKind() first and skips an unknown path without touching it, then uses fs.promises for the lstat and realpath. The sweep keeps the probe's stall cap; cleanupSession(), acting on one path at the user's request, passes pastCap and removes the directories with fs.rm.
Refusing an upload dir that sits strictly inside the data dir protected nothing (it only ever holds uploads, and a link is already excluded by lstat) while the route kept writing there, so uploads under a workspace like the ~/.codeman/app that install.sh clones were never swept and never removed. Only the two cases that matter stay refused: the upload dir being the data dir, or containing it.
Also: the ignore file's take-back after a failed write no longer replaces the error that caused it with its own, and the shared-dir test's header no longer names the fixed port it stopped using.
Anything typed on a phone vanished whenever the terminal viewport was not scrolled fully to the bottom. Codeman parks the viewport a few rows above the bottom on purpose (scrollToLastNonEmptyLine after a tab switch, or after the keyboard drops and the terminal regrows, so trailing blank rows stay off screen), and the overlay hid itself on a bare viewportY !== baseY test even though the prompt and the cursor were on screen. The text was buffered the whole time and Enter still sent it, which is what made the keyboard look dead.
The overlay now gates on whether the cursor row is inside the viewport (promptRowInViewport), in both the render path and the scroll handler, so a deep scroll into history still hides it. A buffer without cursorY keeps the old bottom-only rule.
Two of Codeman's custom prompt finders made the matching mistake of treating cursorY, which xterm reports relative to baseY, as a screen row; with the gate relaxed that would have painted the text on the wrong line. Both go through cursorViewportRow now, and the Claude finder looks for its glyph from the cursor's screen row up to the top of the live screen only, since a parked viewport shows scrolled-off history whose old composer rows used to be unreachable and would anchor the overlay on the wrong line.
Codeman turns absolute paths in the terminal into links that open the file
viewer, but agents usually report created files as relative paths, which
cannot be clicked. The generated CLAUDE.md now asks for the full absolute
path of every created file in the final reply, and says why relative, ~/
and markdown-link forms do not work.
It also tells the agent about the codeman skill (start, prompt, wait on and
clean up worker sessions) when the skill is available, and how the user can
install it when it is not.
