Reserving a slot per request refused a correct password with the slots it had
filled itself: after a restart the browser replays its cached Basic header on many
parallel requests. Identical credentials from one IP now join the verify already in
flight for them (keyed on a SHA-256 digest), skipping the gates and its scrypt cost.

In multi-user mode the per-IP and (username, IP) gates read their counts before
the verify and wrote them after it, so a concurrent burst from one IP passed both
on one stale read (29 wrong guesses plus the right password logged in). A request
that passes both gates now takes its slot before the await; a success clears it.

Re-read the per-IP failure count after the scrypt await, so concurrent failures from one IP are all counted (regression test added).
Reword the (username, IP) bucket comment: it grows with failed verifies per pair, not no faster than userFailures.
Reword the verify-first test comment: only the per-username bucket never denies a correct password.
Correct docs/multi-user-plan.md: the per-username bucket does not stop cross-IP brute force; the per-(username, IP) bucket caps verified guesses.

Multi-user: add a (username, IP) failure bucket checked before verifyPassword, capped at AUTH_FAILURE_MAX, with the same decay as the other buckets; the per-IP pre-gate stays at AUTH_IP_FAILURE_MAX and the per-username bucket stays after the verify
A correct password now also clears that account's (username, IP) bucket, beside the IP and per-username buckets
The new bucket is disposed on server stop like the others; the comments above the gate and the constants' JSDoc describe the three buckets
Tests: 10 wrong then the correct password from one IP is a 429, the same account logs in from another IP, another account behind that IP is unaffected, and a correct password clears the pair bucket
test/multiuser-auth.test.ts: the spray test loops to AUTH_IP_FAILURE_MAX instead of a literal 50
Reworded the rate-limit lines in auth-config.ts, security-architecture.md, README.md, README.zh-CN.md, wiki/Security.md, endpoints.md (plus the plugin mirror), CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants.md
docs/wiki/Remote-Access.md: add the multi-user note to the tunnel page

Single-user mode has no per-username bucket, so its per-IP bucket is the
only limit on guesses against the one password, and behind a tunnel every
client shares 127.0.0.1. Put it back on AUTH_FAILURE_MAX (10).
AUTH_IP_FAILURE_MAX (50) now gates only the multi-user per-IP pre-gate,
which runs before the scrypt verify and so refuses even a correct password;
the per-username bucket still caps each account at 10.
Move the headroom test out of the single-user suite and add a multi-user
test that sprays wrong passwords across usernames (9 each) and expects 401
for the first 50, then 429 for the 51st and for a correct password.
Update the docs that still described 10 per IP for every mode, and resync
the plugin mirror of the codeman skill.
Four ports were shared by two files each — 3162 (qr-auth / auth-security), 3170
(multiuser-auth / routes/ws-routes), 3230 and 3231 (cod54-hook-event-auth /
routes/voice-routes). Files run serially (`fileParallelism: false`), so the pairs
never met inside one run; they collide between two runs on one host, or with
anything else holding the port. All six files now bind port 0 and read the
number back (`boundPort` for WebServer, `server.address()` after each listen for
the raw Fastify / ws servers).
test/test-ports-guard.test.ts fails on a WebServer built under test/ whose port
argument is not the literal 0 — `new WebServer(…)`, a subclass, or a destructured
alias (`{ WebServer: T }`, as quick-start.test.ts does) — outside a legacy list of
the 43 files that construct one with a non-zero port today; the follow-up sweep
converts them. A converted file cannot stay listed. What it does not cover (helper
parameters, `import { WebServer as X }`, raw listen sites) is written down in it.

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.

Adds a parallel multi-user auth branch (the single-user Basic-auth path is
left byte-identical). Off unless CODEMAN_MULTIUSER/--multiuser.
- middleware/auth.ts: mode-selecting registerAuthMiddleware. New async
multi-user hook verifies username:password against the user store (scrypt),
mints identity-carrying cookies, decorates req.authUser, enforces a per-IP
AND per-username failure bucket, and the mustChangePassword lockbox. The
hook-secret loopback bypass is now a single shared helper used by both
branches. FastifyRequest.authUser module augmentation.
- ports/auth-port.ts: AuthSessionRecord gains username/role/mustChangePassword.
- user-store.ts: verifyPassword (timing-equalized against user enumeration).
- route-helpers.ts: getAuthUser (synthetic admin fallback), canAccessOwned,
requireAdmin, revokeUserSessions; findSessionOrFail gains an optional req for
a NOT_FOUND owner check (dormant until phase 3 wires callers).
- routes/me-routes.ts: GET /api/me (synthetic admin in single-user) and
POST /api/me/password (verify current, min 8, clear mustChangePassword,
revoke other sessions).
- QR: QrTokenRecord + AuthSessionRecord carry a username; tunnel-manager
mintUserToken / consumeTokenWithIdentity / getQrSvgForCode; /q/:code binds
the cookie to the token's user (rejects identity-less tokens in multi-user);
GET /api/tunnel/qr mints a per-user token. Single-user keeps the rotating token.
- server.ts: bootstrap the initial admin from CODEMAN_USERNAME/PASSWORD on first
boot (refuse to start with no users); multi-user with >= 1 user satisfies the
non-loopback auth requirement and the tunnel-enable guard; userFailures bucket
disposal.
- types/api.ts: FORBIDDEN, PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED, USER_EXISTS, USER_NOT_FOUND,
LAST_ADMIN error codes (message + status wired).
- Session.owner field + getter/setter, SessionState.owner, MuxSession.owner,
CreateSessionOptions.owner (foundation for phase 3 ownership threading).
Tests: test/multiuser-auth.test.ts (10, live server on 3170/3171). Existing auth
suite (auth-security, qr-auth, cod54-hook-event, network-auth-policy) unchanged
and green; full test:ci sweep passes (3519 tests).
