Also corrects three stale claims: HTML now renders in the sandboxed
page view, Ctrl+W has not closed a session since 1.40.0, and the tile
shortcuts were missing from the table.

Codex starts stdio MCP servers with a minimal environment, so `codeman mcp`
under the documented Codex config never learned the session it runs in: the
self-protection and the children rule did not apply. Both Codex TOML snippets
now forward the two variables with `env_vars`.

Agents pick tools from MCP clients and registries, and Codeman had no MCP
surface: an assistant in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex or Gemini CLI could
not start or drive Codeman sessions without hand-written HTTP calls.
`codeman mcp` is a stdio MCP server and a CLIENT of the existing HTTP API
(it reuses codeman agent's transport and guards; no new route). Seven
tools: list_sessions, start_session, send_prompt, wait_for_session,
read_output, interrupt_session, delete_session.
- Dual-era: answers the legacy initialize handshake (2024-11-05 to
2025-11-25) and the 2026-07-28 revision (per-request _meta,
server/discover, resultType, and the ttlMs/cacheScope hints a modern
tools/list must carry: Claude Code 2.1.296 drops every tool without
them).
- Never guesses a server: the URL comes from --url or CODEMAN_API_URL.
Unconfigured, it still lists its tools and every call says how to
configure it.
- Prompting, interrupting and deleting are limited to sessions the process
started (or, inside a Codeman pane, that session's own workers) unless
--allow-any-session; never its own session. Control bytes are refused
before any request.
- Waits default to 45 s (Codex's MCP tool timeout is 60 s), max 600 s.
- read_output returns text only: a client that prefers structuredContent
otherwise showed the model metadata instead of the output.
- config/mcp-registry/server.json and package.json mcpName prepare the
official MCP registry listing; sync-plugin.mjs keeps its version.

The agent skill only reached Claude Code: injection wrote
.claude/skills/codeman, which no other CLI reads, and the per-session
preamble was seeded for claude alone. A Codex, Gemini, OpenCode,
Antigravity, Grok, DeepSeek or OMP session inside Codeman never learned it
could start and drive workers.
- Registry field capabilities.agentSkillDir (a closed enum, since
clis.json can set it and it decides where the server writes) names the
skills directory each CLI scans. Claude keeps .claude/skills; those seven
CLIs get the same skill in <case>/.agents/skills/codeman (each measured to
scan it; Claude Code does not, so it never sees two copies). pi gets none:
a project skill makes pi ask "Trust project folder?" at startup.
- The preamble is seeded for every local session whose CLI takes the
skill; nothing in it is claude-specific.
- The skill text is CLI-neutral and names the two CLI-side failures to
report instead of retrying: a sandbox that blocks loopback (Codex's
default), and commands that do not carry this session's environment
(Codex 0.162 runs them in a shared app-server daemon).
- POST /api/sessions injects after the launch pre-flight, so a CLI that
cannot start leaves nothing in the workspace.
- codeman skill install gains --mode; uninstall --case removes the copy
from every directory the registry can write.
- The settings toggle moves to Agents & CLIs > All agent CLIs.

The agent skill section now shows a real run end to end: one short
prompt typed into Claude Code, the tile grid powering on with the CRT
entrance, then a DeepSeek Harness worker on a local qwen model and a
Claude Code worker powering on as new tiles, with lineage lines back to
the lead. 1280 wide, linking a 3600x2025 still.

Tab Alerts now shows a 17.5 s seamless loop of real sessions: a working
tab (spinning green ring), a red tab blocked on a real AskUserQuestion,
and a yellow tab whose turn is done, with a magnified tab strip and one
callout per state. It replaces the 2026-08-15 glow strip.
The agent skill section gets a time-lapse of a real run: one plain
English request, the codeman skill spawning three Claude Code workers as
new tabs, and the lineage lines drawing in, with numbered callouts that
appear as each step happens.
Both GIFs are 1920x1080 and link to 4800x2700 annotated stills.

From the review of #557:
- An id shorter than 8 characters refuses with exit 4 before any request,
on every verb. `rm 9` resolved to whichever session was alone with that
first character (the user's own tab included) and deleted it. Same floor
as the server's PARENT_SESSION_ID_MIN_PREFIX. `rm` no longer claims a
lineage check: "Delete any session except this one".
- `wait --match` help and the README example say the marker must not appear
verbatim in the prompt (its echo matches at once) and show the split form.
- `send` reads the route's wake-on-LAN answers: `buffered` gets its own
line (exit 0), `dropped` exits 1 instead of printing "accepted".
- `--` for a prompt that starts with "-", in the `send` description and in
the one-argument refusal.
- `stripAnsi` builds on the shared one (OSC sequences go too); the
inputRefusal JSDoc sits above inputRefusal again.
- docs/wiki/Driving-Codeman-From-An-Agent.md gets a `codeman agent` section.

The agent skill teaches the session verbs to claude only (Codeman seeds its
preamble for local claude sessions). An opencode, codex, pi or gemini agent has
the same environment — CODEMAN_MUX, CODEMAN_SESSION_ID and CODEMAN_API_URL are
exported into every pane — and nothing that teaches it the verbs, so
`codeman agent ls|spawn|send|wait|read|interrupt|rm` packages them as commands.
It is a client of the server, like `codeman tui`, and stays out of
`codeman session` (which drives the in-process SessionManager). No new route and
no second transport: everything goes through CODEMAN_API_URL, so auth,
ownership and the per-session waiter cap apply unchanged. Credentials and the
Basic header come from src/codeman-credentials.ts, in the same order attach and
the TUI use.
Invariants, each in test/cli-agent.test.ts:
- Refuses outside a Codeman session (CODEMAN_MUX=1 + CODEMAN_API_URL); never
guesses a URL.
- `send` takes the prompt as ONE argument (an unquoted multi-line `$(…)` would
otherwise be split by the shell and re-joined into one line), transmits
printable text plus Enter only, and refuses multi-line input loudly instead of
letting sendInput weld the lines. No resend loop of its own: the server's
SubmitVerifier owns the swallowed-Enter case. ESC exists only as `interrupt`,
which never appends Enter.
- `rm` fails closed: empty id, an unprovable self id, or a prefix match in
either direction refuses.
- Nothing mode-shaped in the CLI: the readiness mark `spawn` waits for comes
from the registry (new `capabilities.composerReadyMark`: claude's composer
hint `shift+tab`, deepseek's `❯`), `read` relies on the route's own answer
dispatch, and a `stop`/`blocked` the session cannot fire is the server's 400,
passed through. A `/wait` timeout is a 200 with `timedOut`: exit 2 with a
neutral line, not an error. A worker that dies during spawn's readiness wait
is exit 3, like every other wait.
- `X-Codeman-Agent-Origin` rides only spawn's quick-start, the one request that
may create a case directory; every other verb leaves it off. Server-side,
test/routes/agent-case-marker-routes.test.ts pins that a POST /api/sessions on
an existing workingDir is never labelled, header or not, and that quick-start
labels only a directory it creates.

- The doctor now judges candidates like the run mode's resolver: the PATH
hit, then each search dir, each one version-checked on its own and
skipped on a mismatch (a wrong `pi`/`grok` on the PATH no longer hides
the real one in a search dir). A search-dir candidate must be an
absolute path to an executable regular file, so a relative dir or a
file without the x bit reads as missing, as it does in the Run menu.
`isExecutableRegularFile` is exported from cli-executable-resolver.ts
and reused rather than copied.
- Every doctor probe passes killSignal: 'SIGKILL'; a --version that
ignores SIGTERM held the probe for its full runtime (15 s vs 5 s
measured with a TERM-trapping script).
- README no longer claims parity with the Run menu or nvm prefixes.
- The Diagnostics panel marks a missing optional tool with ○, a missing
required one with ✗, as the terminal doctor does.
- expandSearchDir names its twin, expandHome() in cli-resolver.ts.
- test/doctor-cli-json.test.ts is hermetic: temp HOME, a PATH of only
`which` and `node`, and a clis.json that drops the registry's absolute
search dirs, so it never runs the machine's installed agent CLIs.

The wiki was written for seven run modes and never received Grok Build, DeepSeek
Harness or OMP. They now appear everywhere the others do: the modes table and
per-CLI notes, install commands, environment prefixes, the Quick Start table, the
requirements rows, the vocabulary, and every "seven modes" count.
The 1.27 to 1.29.0 changes land on the pages that own them: attaching a case to an
existing container, multi-case adoption and the copy-a-case picker (Docker Cases);
file reads over ssh in remote cases and what stays unavailable (Remote SSH Sessions,
Working With Files, Security); single-page app routing, frame recovery, localhost
links as tabs and the egress guard (Web Tabs); DeepSeek as the one non-Claude mode
with real stop/blocked signals and Approvals items, Codex's own work detection,
last-response, the model-endpoint routes and refreshed counts (HTTP API, Driving
From An Agent, Hooks, Notifications, Keeping Agents Running, Core Concepts);
Shift+drag, right-click copy, Auto Copy, the Ctrl+Z guard, font weight, the vertical
rail and its activity sort (Keyboard Shortcuts, Input And Voice, The Dashboard,
Settings Reference); the 600px phone cutoff, Codex shift arrows and iPhone Duo
(Mobile Guide); the Docker Compose route and its update rule (Installation, Running
As A Service); four new symptom entries and a "which CLIs" question (Troubleshooting,
FAQ).
Custom model endpoints are deliberately left to #430, which adds that page and edits
Agent CLIs, Settings Reference and the sidebar; these edits stay out of the regions
#430, #428 and #376 touch, and all three still merge cleanly on top.
Both READMEs: the web-tab menu entry is labelled "Add URL" in the UI, not
"Add dashboard".

DeepSeek Harness joins every CLI list it was missing from (tagline, intro,
run-mode table, Multi-CLI bullet with its env prefixes, security allowlist,
architecture diagram), and the 1.27 to 1.29.0 features get their bullets:
custom model endpoints (HTTP API only, with the verified and gapped CLIs
named), web tabs, attaching a case to an existing container, remote SSH file
access, the plan-usage chip, the sidebar and activity-sorted rail, font
weight, skins and entrance animations, Approvals Inbox, Read My Mind,
Claude-login voice dictation, Shift+drag select and right-click copy. The
agent guide's rule 7 now counts deepseek among the hook-signalling modes and
the recipes read answers through last-response first; the API section carries
the new routes and current counts; the download cap reads 2 GB instead of the
retired 50 MB; the zerolag package test count is the measured 238.
The English file had three spots where the OMP merge of 2026-08-18 left two
copies of a line joined without a newline (the Docker credentials bullet, rule
7 of the agent guide, the CLI node of the mermaid diagram). All three are
single lines again.
The Chinese file was further behind: besides the above it had never received
the daemon and service block, the Tailscale install option, the Compose
paragraph, the Tab Alerts section, the codeman tui section, the agent-skill
walkthrough, the Community section or the closing star paragraph. Those are
translated in, so both files now share one section structure.

The two keys #408 adds to the mobile keyboard accessory bar send
Shift+Left and Shift+Right, which are Codex bindings (edit the last
queued message, step back through the prompt stack). They shipped on
both agent layouts, so a claude, pi, grok, omp, deepseek or gemini
session got two keys that do nothing. That was not only cosmetic: a tap
goes through sendNavKey(), which adds the session to
_echoPassthroughSessions and hands editing to plain PTY echo until Enter
or Ctrl+C, so on a phone a dead key also switched off the local echo
that makes typing feel instant there.
The reveal now follows the shape the 🧠 key already uses. The buttons
stay in both templates, carry an accessory-btn-codex marker class, and
are display:none in styles.css until the bar element carries
codex-enabled. The class has to live on the bar rather than on the keys
because setMode() rebuilds the buttons' innerHTML on every layout
switch. syncCodexKeys() toggles it from the active session's mode
(the same lookup _isShellSession() uses) and is called at init and from
refreshForActiveSession(), which selectSession() already invokes on
every switch. A session's mode is readonly on the server and fixed at
create, so no other event can change the answer; the welcome screen
(no active session) reads as not codex and hides the keys.
The frontend id-branching guard (test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts)
scans only src/**/*.ts, so the mode comparison in a public JS file is
in bounds, the same as the existing shell check beside it.
Tests: the new describe block in test/mobile-shell-keyboard.test.ts pins
the marker class in both templates, the CSS pair, the class for a codex
session in both layouts, its absence for claude/shell/pi/omp/deepseek,
the re-sync in both directions on a session switch, the no-session case,
and the init + refresh wiring. All six positive assertions fail without
the source change. README and the changeset now say the keys are
Codex-only.

Measured with both installed: a fresh Claude Code lists `codeman` (the
user-level or per-case copy) and `codeman:codeman` (the plugin). Neither
shadows the other and both work, so this is noise rather than breakage, but
the README, the wiki and the plugin README now say to choose one.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` at the repo root makes
`/plugin marketplace add Ark0N/Codeman` work, and the one plugin it lists is
the repo itself (`source: "./"`), whose one component is `skills/codeman/`.
So `/plugin install codeman@codeman` is a third install route next to
`npx skills add` and `codeman skill install`, and the skill shows up in the
plugin directories that index Claude Code marketplaces.
Both manifests carry package.json's version: `scripts/sync-plugin-version.mjs`
rewrites them inside `version-packages`, right after `changeset version`, and
`test/plugin-manifest.test.ts` pins the equality, the skill's frontmatter name
(without it the installed skill would be named after a versioned cache dir),
and that no other plugin component (`commands/`, `agents/`, `hooks/`,
`.mcp.json`, `settings.json`) appears at the repo root, since an install would
silently ship it.
Verified with `claude plugin validate` (one expected warning: CLAUDE.md at a
plugin root is not plugin context) and a local marketplace add, install,
details, uninstall cycle against a clean checkout of this commit.

Ctrl+V in the terminal inserted the clipboard text twice. Right-click →
Paste inserted it once.
`_handleImagePaste()` appends a hidden contenteditable div, focuses it, and
reads the clipboard out of the paste event that lands there. Two separate
routes deliver that event for a single keypress. The function issues
`document.execCommand('paste')` itself, which in Firefox dispatches a
trusted paste event and then returns false, because the trap cancels the
event and the command never completes; Chromium and WebKit refuse that
command and dispatch nothing. The keydown's own default action delivers the
other, because xterm calls the custom key handler before its own `cancel()`,
so returning false never calls preventDefault. Firefox therefore ran the
trap's listener twice and both runs reached `terminal.paste()`. The
context-menu paste involves no keydown at all, which is why that path stayed
correct.
The trap now accepts the first paste event and cancels every later one, so
how many paste events a browser delivers no longer changes what the PTY
sees. Measured on a live install, one Ctrl+V each: Firefox two events and
two writes before this change, Chromium and WebKit one and one, and every
engine one write after it.
The `execCommand('paste')` call stays. Stripping it out also ends the
doubling, and all three engines still deliver one event without it, since
`trap.focus()` has already run when the key's default action resolves. It is
kept because the trap technique arrived in #84 for plain HTTP and for
mobile, and a desktop measurement says nothing about real iOS Safari or
Android Chrome: where a browser aims the default action at the element
focused when the keydown began, the command is the only route into the trap,
and the trap is the only place clipboard image blobs are read.
test/image-paste-trap.test.ts loads image-input.js into a `node:vm` context
with a fake document and fires two paste events at the trap. It covers text
and images, and fails on the old code with the text pasted twice and the
image uploaded twice.
Docs: the invariant goes into docs/architecture-invariants.md as a Terminal
paste section and into CLAUDE.md as a Frontend entry, both recording the
measured event counts and why the redundant call is still there. README.md
and the Keyboard Shortcuts and Input and Voice wiki pages gain a Ctrl+V row,
which all three tables were missing while listing every other clipboard
binding.

Docker Compose deployment: Codeman runs in a container and spawns Docker cases
as SIBLING containers through the mounted host socket (Docker-outside-of-Docker).
Resolved the README conflict (master had grown to eight CLIs since the branch
was cut) and moved the Compose blurb out of the feature bullets into Quick
Start, next to the other ways of starting Codeman.
Three review findings from the PR discussion are fixed here rather than left
for a follow-up, because two of them are shipped-image problems:
- `.dockerignore` excluded `.env` only at the ROOT. A pattern is matched against
the whole context-relative path, so `docker/.env` — which the deployment's own
README tells the user to fill with CODEMAN_PASSWORD and provider API keys —
was picked up by `COPY . .` and baked into the image at
/opt/codeman/docker/.env. Verified in both directions against a real build
context: with a canary secret in docker/.env, the unfixed ignore file lets
/ctx/docker/.env through, and `**/.env` (plus `**/.env.*` and a negation for
the checked-in .env.example) leaves only the example behind.
- `CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` moved the server's CASES_DIR but not the CLI's, which
still hardcoded ~/codeman-cases, so `codeman skill install --case <name>`
reported "Case not found" on exactly the deployment the override exists for.
Both now resolve through config/cases-dir.ts. state-store.ts keeps its own
literal on purpose: that one migrates the historical ~/claudeman-cases
directory by name and is about the old default, not the active location.
- CLAUDE.md gained the Compose paragraph (the sibling-container inversion, the
three env vars, the .dockerignore and root-owned-bind traps) and .dockerignore
joins the documented list of files that genuinely belong in the repo root.
The PR's `mode === 'claude'` guard on dockerResumeId is an unrelated master bug
fix riding along: appendResumeFlag() maps a resume id onto codex/gemini/pi/grok/
deepseek/omp/antigravity and RESUME_ID_SAFE accepts a UUID, so a Docker case's
lastClaudeSessionId was handed to every non-claude CLI.
Full gate green in a merge worktree: 6360 tests, lint, format, frontend syntax,
public assets, lockfile.
Every other CLI (claude/opencode/codex/gemini/antigravity/pi/grok/dsh) has
a check_*/get_*_path pair wired into install.sh's detection loop and the
"no AI CLI found" aggregate checks. OMP had neither -- a user with only
omp installed would be told no CLI was found and offered to install
Claude Code or OpenCode.
Added OMP_SEARCH_PATHS (mirrors src/utils/omp-cli-resolver.ts's
OMP_SEARCH_DIRS) and check_omp()/get_omp_path(), wired into both
aggregate conditions (the interactive install-menu trigger and the
end-of-run reminder) and added omp's real vendor curl one-liner to the
reminder block. The DeepSeek Harness line was never in that reminder to
begin with -- confirmed it has no vendor one-liner (dsh installs via
Codeman's own API after the server is already up), so it stays out, with
an explanatory line instead.
Also fixed the "Skip" menu text, which was missing Gemini and DeepSeek
Harness from its example list independent of the omp gap, and the same
stale sibling-CLI-list bug (missing DeepSeek Harness and OMP, "the
eight"/"这七个") in README.md and the repo's existing README.zh-CN.md.
OMP was the one external CLI mode with no dedicated user-guide doc, unlike
opencode/pi/grok/deepseek which each have one. Covers install, auth (omp
owns its own entirely - no Codeman-side login flow or bypass switch),
what Codeman wires up (OmpConfig), the exact-id pinning mechanism and the
directory-mangling bug behind it, kill-survival via transcript scanning,
terminal behavior, Docker/remote-SSH cases, and known gaps (no idle hook,
mid-turn kill data loss, unverified symlinked-$HOME behavior).
Cross-referenced from README.md's Multi-CLI doc list and docs/docker-cases.md's
credential-seeding summary (which now also documents OMP's sessions/-is-shared
exception to the seed-everything pattern the other CLIs use).

The installer bullet still described a two-way choice with 0.0.0.0 as "the
default", which predates the Tailscale option. The prompt has offered three
choices for a while (Tailscale / any device on your network / this machine
only), and the default is computed from what is already on the machine rather
than being fixed at 0.0.0.0.
Now states all three options, that the Tailscale one is a loopback bind
fronted by `tailscale serve` with the tailnet as the login, and how the
highlighted default is chosen. Line 220 already documented the Tailscale
option correctly; this was the only stale spot.

SessionMode gains 'grok', a first-class backend alongside Claude Code,
shell, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity and Pi: its own PTY, tmux
session, charcoal tab identity ('gk' badge), welcome button, run-mode
entry, cron agentType, Docker and remote-SSH command defaults, and
clone-repo Brain option. Flag surface verified live against grok 1.0.5.
Grok mixes two existing shapes and the wiring follows from that:
- Codex-shaped on permissions: the bypass switch is GrokConfig.alwaysApprove
(--always-approve, grok's bypassPermissions mode; config-level deny rules
still apply on top). The Run button sends it true, like runAntigravity(),
and clampExternalCliBypassForOwner() puts grok in the only-if-sent branch:
a bare grok spawn is grok's own ask-mode default, which is already safe,
so only a sent config needs the flag forced off. Cron needs nothing for
the same reason.
- OpenCode-shaped on rendering: grok is a fullscreen alternate-screen TUI
with mouse support, so it stays OUT of isAltScreenStripMode() and lands
on the narrow tmux-attach strip and the 'buffer' local-echo fallthrough
(unmeasured against an authenticated composer; documented fallback is the
'off' branch).
- Pi-shaped on resolution: 'grok' has npm squatters (@vibe-kit/grok-cli
also installs a grok bin), so grok-cli-resolver.ts version-probes every
candidate (grok --version, killSignal SIGKILL, VITEST-gated) and
GET /api/grok/status surfaces path AND version; GROK_VERSION_REGEX is
shared with the dependency registry so doctor and run mode cannot drift.
Env allowlist gains GROK_* plus the XAI_* vendor namespace (XAI_API_KEY is
grok's documented headless auth var), the same narrow-vendor reasoning as
GOOGLE_* for gemini. Resume is id-regexed on purpose: grok's own --resume
also matches session titles, which are arbitrary user strings that must
never reach the bash -c spawn line.
Docker: grok is not on npm, so the agent image installs it in its own step
(xAI's installer has no --dir override; the binary is copied to
/usr/local/bin and root's ~/.grok dropped in the same layer), and
credentials are seeded per-file (auth.json, config.toml, pager.toml; the
dir also holds sessions/, memory/ and the ~160MB binary). Remote SSH routes
through the login-shell wrapper like the other agent CLIs.
Verified end to end on an isolated CODEMAN_INSTANCE with grok 1.0.5
installed: /api/grok/status resolves and reports the probed version,
quick-start spawns a pane whose command line ends in 'grok
--always-approve', the real TUI renders (OAuth device screen on an
unauthenticated box), and grokConfig round-trips through state.json.

codeman tui supersedes the sc bash chooser: it reaches sessions 10+,
carries the server's real states instead of a static list, and leaves an
attach with one key. Every place that told a user to run sc now names the
tui equivalent, including the two wiki pages and install.sh's next-steps
banner. Both wiki pages also carried the wrong detach chord (Ctrl+A D;
the socket's prefix is C-b), which the tui makes moot.
Source comments that explained themselves as "the sc -l replacement" now
just say what they do. docs/tui-plan.md and CHANGELOG.md are historical
records and keep their references.
The sc chooser runs a plain `tmux attach-session` and binds nothing, so
F1 does not detach from it; only `codeman tui`'s attach claims that key,
and only for its own duration. The line it replaced was wrong too (the
socket's prefix is C-b, not C-a), so name the real chord and say which
command gives you the single key instead.
The guide and the README both said to detach with `Ctrl+B D`. Beta testing
proved that wrong twice over: tmux binds lowercase `d` to `detach-client` and
capital `D` to `choose-client`, and even the correct letter fails for anyone who
keeps Ctrl held, because that sends `Ctrl+D`, which tmux leaves unbound. A
tester followed the documented instruction, stayed attached, and exited the
agent to escape.
Both now say `F1`, and the attach section describes what actually happens: the
session strip across the top of the pane, `Alt+1`..`Alt+9` switching without
returning to the dashboard, and `r` to resume a session whose pane has died.
Also corrected: `1-9` switches rather than jump-attaches, `x` confirms with `y`
rather than a typed name, and a new session opens straight into its pane.
`docs/tui-plan.md` is deliberately untouched — it is the design record of what
was planned, not a description of what shipped.
The user guide covers what the dashboard is (and is not), the two
non-interactive fast paths, the four groups and their ordering, the full
keymap, what answering an approval does server-side, and the SSH/narrow
and degraded cases. The example frame is a real 100x30 capture against
the E2E fake server, not a drawing.

`codeman attach <path>` posts an attachment card for a local file; it
was described as attaching a Claude hook context. And Codeman never
overrides the tmux prefix for local sessions (only remote-SSH and docker
panes get C-q), so the detach hint is Ctrl+B D, matching the chooser.

`npm test` ran config/vitest.config.ts, which includes the browser, visual and
perf suites. On any machine without chromium, a free port and per-machine PNG
baselines that fails ~87 tests on a clean master, so the repo's most obvious
command could not be used as a pass/fail signal. The workaround had spread into
four docs as "never run bare `npm test`" warnings.
`npm test` now runs config/vitest.ci.config.ts — byte-for-byte what CI runs — so
local green means CI green. Verified: 264 files, 5248 tests, exit 0.
The suites it leaves out are not abandoned; each has a command:
test:browser 5 Playwright files (chromium + a live server; codex-predictive-echo
also needs a real codex binary)
test:mobile unchanged — the above plus per-machine PNG baselines
test:perf 2 wall-clock benchmarks; need an otherwise idle machine
test:all the old everything-behaviour, kept reachable
test:ci is untouched (CI still calls it). test:watch and test:coverage follow
test onto the gate's config.
The more important half is the hole this closes. The exclusion list lived as
literals in one config and pointed one way only: a file excluded from CI and
added to no runner would be tested by NOTHING, silently, with every command
still green — vitest counts "no files matched a filter" as success. That is the
same shape as the #279/#280 blind spot already documented in CLAUDE.md.
So the globs moved to config/test-suites.ts, one array per REASON a suite cannot
run in CI, and all three configs derive from it. test/test-suite-partition.test.ts
then checks the arithmetic against the files on disk: it fails if any test file
is reachable by no runner, or by two. Confirmed it fires by orphaning a file and
watching it name it. The partition is exact today:
gate 264 + browser 5 + perf 2 + mobile 9 = 280 = every *.test.ts in the repo
⚠️ One sharp edge, deliberate and documented: a file filter must match its
runner. `npm test -- test/mobile/keyboard.test.ts` now matches nothing and exits
GREEN having run zero tests, because the gate's config excludes that path.
CLAUDE.md recommended exactly that command in the on-screen-keyboard note; that
line now says `npm run test:mobile -- <file>`, and the Testing section calls out
the trap, since a green run of zero tests is worse than a red one.
Docs synced: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md,
README.zh-CN.md, and two ci.yml comments that claimed only test/mobile/** was
excluded — it is three suites, and 5 Playwright files rather than 3.

Brings in https://github.com/christianhaberl/Codeman/pull/4 (three commits,
authorship preserved) and adapts it across the 211 commits master gained
since the branch was cut:
- App Settings control re-authored for the set-* surface (PR #278): a
set-row in Layout -> Tabs, replacing the old settings-item markup the
branch targeted. i18n description synced.
- Lineage arcs (PR #291, post-branch) are SKIPPED in sidebar layout:
computeLineagePath()'s U-bridge geometry hangs from the horizontal
strip's bottom edge and has no meaning against a vertical list. The
lineage strip-scroll listener now also redraws subagent/ultracode
connectors while the sidebar scrolls vertically.
- The desktop home tab rail (post-branch) defers to the sidebar: both dock
the session list flush left, and the rail would render z-ordered under it.
- Active-row reveal unified into _scrollActiveTabIntoView() (#257 landed on
master after the branch): sidebar mode branches to scrollIntoView
block:'nearest', and _fullRenderSessionTabs() restores scrollTop alongside
the #257 scrollLeft restore so ambient rebuilds cannot yank a mid-scroll
sidebar back to the top.
- Mobile active-tab hoisting the branch guarded against no longer exists on
master (removed by #257); kept master's order-stable render.
Verified: typecheck, lint, format:check, check:frontend-syntax,
check:public-assets, PostCSS parse of both merged stylesheets, the 26 new
jsdom tests, the structural guard suites, and the headless-Chromium harness
(scripts/verify-session-sidebar.mts) green across all seven layout states
at 1600/1000/393px against current master.
