Set UTF-8 locale in all PTY spawn environments, add xterm-addon-unicode11
for proper double-width character measurement, and update LocalEchoOverlay
helpers to respect CJK character visual width in positioning, line wrapping,
and cursor placement.
Based on PR #13 by @TeigenZhang, adapted to current codebase structure.

The "Startup Mode" setting (normal/bypass/allowedTools) was saved to
settings but never read when spawning sessions. All code paths had
--dangerously-skip-permissions hardcoded. Now reads claudeMode from
~/.claudeman/settings.json and passes it through Session → TmuxManager.
Closes#12

The Mobile-Optimized Web UI section used align="left" on a 280px image,
leaving only ~110px for text on 390px mobile screens. This caused
single-character-per-line text wrapping on GitHub mobile view. Changed
to stacked layout: text description above, centered image, then
comparison table below.

Pitfall 3 (REAL BUG): setFlushed() called _render() unconditionally.
During tab switch, rendering against a stale buffer found the old
session's prompt and locked the column position via the flushed-text
column lock. After the new buffer loaded, rerender() kept the stale
column. Fix: add render parameter (default true), pass false during
tab-switch restore to defer rendering until buffer is loaded.
Pitfall 2: Tab completion "undo" required calling clearFlushed() +
resetBufferDetection() separately — easy to get wrong. Add
undoDetection() convenience method that atomically clears flushed
state and re-enables detection.
Pitfall 1: Backspace Map sync is app-specific (can't be fixed in lib),
but removeChar() return value + getFlushed() make the pattern clean.
Updated tab-switch test to demonstrate the correct pattern.
Tests: 78 total (+4 new)
- setFlushed render=false prevents stale column lock
- setFlushed render=false keeps overlay hidden
- undoDetection clears flushed + re-enables detection
- undoDetection preserves pending text

Second deep audit comparing all 43 integration points in Claudeman's
app.js against the library API found one critical gap:
- Add suppressBufferDetection() — needed when switching to sessions
with UI framework text (Ink) after the prompt that would be falsely
detected. Claudeman sets _bufferDetectDone=true externally; this
method provides the public equivalent.
Tests: 74 total (+13 new)
- Tab-switch save/restore pattern (flushed state roundtrip)
- suppressBufferDetection blocks explicit, implicit (addChar), and
cascade (removeChar) detection paths
- clear() resets suppression
- Methods safe before activate() and after dispose()
- addChar implicit buffer detection on first keystroke
- refreshFont with flushed-only text
README: rewritten from 207 to 459 lines with:
- removeChar cascade explanation with return value table
- Flushed text concept explained
- Integration patterns: buffered, char-at-a-time, tab switching,
tab completion, Ink/TUI frameworks, SSE reconnect, resize, font
- Architecture diagram (keypress → DOM overlay → PTY echo flow)
- Prompt column locking, text wrapping, render cache, scroll awareness
- All known limitations documented

1. Regex global flag safety — strip `g` flag before matching to prevent
lastIndex mutation and missing .index on match results
2. state.visible false before activate — null overlay no longer reports
visible: true
3. removeChar() returns 'pending' | 'flushed' | false instead of boolean
so consumers can distinguish whether to send backspace to PTY
4. removeChar() implements buffer detection cascade (step 3) — detects
existing prompt text when both pending and flushed are empty
5. RenderKey includes text content, not just length — prevents stale
renders when setFlushed() called with same count but different text
6. Remove dead `import type { Terminal }` from test file
7. Remove internal `FontStyle` from public exports

Extract Claudeman's local echo overlay into a reusable xterm.js addon
at packages/xterm-zerolag-input/. Provides instant keystroke feedback
via a DOM overlay, eliminating perceived input latency over high-RTT
connections (SSH, mobile, cloud IDEs).
- Zero dependencies, compatible with xterm v5.x and @xterm/xterm v5.4+
- Configurable prompt detection (character, regex, or custom function)
- Flushed text tracking for tab-switch / deferred echo scenarios
- Per-character grid-aligned rendering matching xterm's canvas output
- 56 tests passing (prompt finder, overlay renderer, full addon lifecycle)
- Dual CJS/ESM build with full TypeScript declarations
Claudeman source is unchanged — migration to consume this lib is a
separate follow-up.

Root cause bugs fixed in local echo overlay:
1. Stored flushed text as string (_flushedText, _flushedTexts Map) to avoid reading stale terminal buffer
2. Overlay stays visible when pendingText empties but flushed > 0
3. Backspace into flushed text has immediate visual feedback
4. _flushedTexts.delete() added alongside _flushedOffsets.delete() in Enter/Ctrl+C/cleanup
5. OSC terminal responses (xterm color queries) no longer clear flushed text state —
was triggered by _handleColorEvent → triggerDataEvent during buffer load after tab switch
Added comprehensive test suite (test/local-echo-user-test.mjs): 39 tests across 9 groups
including line wrapping, tab switch round-trips, backspace into flushed text, and more.
All 6 test suites pass (133 total assertions).

Strip localEchoEnabled from server PUT payload (stays in device-specific
localStorage only). Add to displayKeys as safety net for stale server values.
chore: bump version to 0.1588
- Extract ensure_homebrew() called from all macOS install functions (prevents crash if Git checked before Node)
- Add dnf/yum fallback in Fedora install functions (fixes Amazon Linux 2 which only has yum)
- Add ensure_sudo to Alpine install functions (consistent with all other distros)
- Update Fedora/SUSE NodeSource setup to use GPG keyring method (replaces deprecated setup_XX.x script)
- Remove dist/ directory from PATH (only use ~/.local/bin symlink)
- Collapse identical fish/non-fish branches in setup_sc_alias

- TaskTracker.getTaskTreeLight(): strips large `output` strings from tasks
in SSE broadcasts (was serializing 5-10MB every 500ms with many subagents)
- session:created broadcasts now use toLightDetailedState() (consistent with
session:updated which already did)
- GET /api/sessions/:id returns light state (no 2-3MB terminal+text buffers)
- Ralph wizard polls /terminal?tail=2048 instead of full session endpoint

Local echo now sends every keystroke to the PTY in the background (50ms
debounce) while the overlay continues providing instant visual feedback.
This unlocks Tab completion, preserves PTY state across tab switches,
and protects against input loss on session crashes — making the mobile
typing experience feel as responsive and capable as a native terminal.

Previously, when Claude exited inside tmux (exitCode=0 or crash), tmux
destroyed the entire session — losing buffer, history, and causing crash
loops on restart attempts. Now:
- Set remain-on-exit on for all tmux sessions
- Detect dead panes via #{pane_dead} instead of assuming session is gone
- Respawn dead panes with tmux respawn-pane -k (preserves session)
- Applied to both startInteractive and startShell paths

Previously, server.stop() called cleanupSession(killMux=false) for all sessions,
which still tore down session state, removed listeners, killed PTY processes via
node-pty SIGHUP, and broadcast session:deleted. This caused Claude sessions
running inside tmux to be disrupted during COM deploys.
Now server shutdown just persists state, removes listeners, and lets the Node.js
process exit naturally. The tmux sessions survive independently, and
restoreMuxSessions() finds them alive on restart.
Also adds defense-in-depth in session.stop(): when killMux=false, skip PTY kill
entirely (just null the reference). And adds 'detached' lifecycle event type for
accurate audit logging.
When Claude exits inside a tmux session, tmux destroys the session
(remain-on-exit is off), but the _muxSession reference persists.
On restart, startInteractive() treats it as a "restored session" and
tries to attach to the dead tmux — causing instant exit code 1.
Now checks tmux has-session before attaching. If the session is gone,
clears the stale reference and creates a fresh tmux session.

Records every session create, start, exit, delete, recover, stale-clean,
mux-died, and server start/stop with timestamps, names, reasons, and exit
codes. Survives server restarts (unlike in-memory RunSummary).
- New SessionLifecycleLog singleton (src/session-lifecycle-log.ts)
- LifecycleEventType + LifecycleEntry types in types.ts
- GET /api/session-lifecycle endpoint with sessionId/event/since/limit filters
- cleanupSession() now takes reason parameter for audit trail
- state-store cleanupStaleSessions returns cleaned session IDs+names
- UI: lifecycle log modal accessible from header clipboard icon
- Auto-trims to 8k entries when exceeding 10k on server start
chore: bump version to 0.1556
