Merge-time fix for #666. A nudge only goes out inside the last five minutes
before `expiresAt`, so the check armed a whole `KEEP_WARM_LEAD_MS` after a
failed write landed at or past the expiry and stopped with "too close to
expiry": the retry the status promised never happened. The window
`beginKeepAliveTurn()` opened also stayed open for its ten-minute ceiling
with no turn running.
A failed write now ends the window (`endKeepAliveTurn()` joins
`KeepWarmSessionView`; `Session` already has it) and re-arms at
`min(now + KEEP_WARM_RETRY_MS, expiresAt - KEEP_WARM_LAST_CHANCE_MS)`. The
test advances the clock and sees the second write, and a second one pins
that the retry never lands past the last-chance line.

Case settings gains a "Default session group" selector (Ungrouped plus every
named tab group of the owner). A new session of the case lands in that group
in the same versioned layout write that registers it, so it is drawn in place
with no Ungrouped-to-group jump.
- Stored per owner and case in state.json (caseDefaultGroups), as the group's
stable id or null for Ungrouped; read and written only through
TabLayoutService under the owner lock.
- Precedence in sessionCreated: explicit tabGroupId, then the parent
placement, then the case default, else Ungrouped. A deleted or foreign id
never fails a spawn and is forgotten only after the creating write lands.
- POST /api/quick-start (local, linked, remote, Docker) and
/api/ralph-loop/start pass their case; POST /api/sessions infers it
lexically from workingDir. The create response carries tabLayout when a
case default placed the session.
- GET/PUT /api/cases/:name/default-group; deleting a case (or an admin
deleting a user's case folder) forgets the value.
- The selector mirrors desktop and phone, reverts on a refused save, and is
redrawn from every adopted tab layout; zh-CN strings added.
The tab layout's 512 refs also count pinned sessions kept as stopped records, so
the ceiling holds at the default MAX_WEBVIEWS and with no pinned closed sessions.
SKILL.md, verbs.md (both copies) and the cron guide no longer give a fixed 50/25.

An owner's tab layout holds at most MAX_TAB_REFS (512) refs, counting saved web
tabs (up to MAX_WEBVIEWS, 50 by default) as well as sessions. With a ceiling of
500, session creation could still fail with HTTP 500 on the layout limit before
the capacity message. 512 - 50 = 462; a test pins the ceiling plus MAX_WEBVIEWS
inside MAX_TAB_REFS so the two limits cannot drift apart again.

It does match one Claude shows inline when the first line has 24+
non-space characters; it misses a short first line and the
[Pasted text #N +k lines] placeholder. Say "cannot reliably" instead of
"cannot".

Review follow-up. Other bounds assume a small session count: an owner's
tab layout holds at most MAX_TAB_REFS (512) refs and PUT
/api/session-order accepts at most 500 ids, so with
CODEMAN_MAX_SESSIONS=600 the 513th session creation answered HTTP 500
instead of the capacity message. The value is now clamped to a named
MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS_CEILING of 500; any digit string above it
(including one past the safe-integer range) resolves to 500 instead of
falling back to 50. The resolver reads process.env directly, the unused
env parameter is gone.
Docs: a CODEMAN_MAX_SESSIONS row in the Settings Reference environment
table, the env name next to the cap in the cron guide and the
architecture invariants, and both copies of the skill's endpoints
reference now give the per-user cap as half the global cap (25 by
default). The changeset says "1 to 500". The test drops the
`as unknown as string` casts and adds '1000', '501' and an
out-of-range value, each refusing at 500.

The first commit left the old rule standing in places: the gotchas list in
extending-codeman.md still said newlines were stripped and that
"echo A\necho B\r" ran `echo Aecho B`, and so did both READMEs and the
skill's big-input section. Those now describe the paste.
Newlines are only kept on the mux path, so the docs that describe the paste
say "with useMux": without it a multi-line body is not a plain prompt and is
written straight into the pane.
Cron keeps rejecting multi-line prompts, but its docs and the code comments
in cron-service.ts, schemas.ts and respawn-controller.ts gave a reason this
change removes (writeViaMux joining lines, a newline submitting in Ink). The
reason that remains is the submit check, which cannot recognise a
multi-line paste in the composer, and for cron's paste mode the newlines
reaching the CLI as keys.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
TmuxManager.sendInput() removed every `\n` before the text reached tmux, so a
multi-line prompt sent with `useMux` (or a multi-line respawn prompt) arrived as
one line with its lines run together: `"echo A\necho B\r"` ran `echo Aecho B`.
The text half of a submit has gone in as one bracketed paste
(buildPasteTextCommands) since the Codex paste-burst fix, and inside the paste
markers Claude Code and Codex insert a pasted line break into the composer
instead of submitting. So the `\n` is now kept (`\r\n` loses only its `\r`) and
the existing paste carries the lines; the Enter stays a separate tmux call.
Multi-line text without an Enter is pasted too rather than typed with
`send-keys -l`, where every line break would reach the pane as a key.
Single-line input is unchanged.
The test-mode gate moves from the top of sendInput() into inputRunner(), as
readPaneRows() does, so a test subclass can record the commands sendInput()
would run instead of pinning the branch shapes on the source.
SubmitVerifier still compares the composer's last glyph line with the prompt
minus its newlines, so it does not reliably recognise a multi-line paste and
may not re-press an Enter that Claude Code ignored. `agent send` and the TUI
therefore keep refusing or joining multi-line input; the docs that described
the stripping now describe the paste and that limit.

Review round 3 on #661: retention aged each snapshot by its own createdAt, so the first change after a quiet month deleted the last good copy; it now ages from when the next snapshot was made. users.json lastLoginAt, settings.json lastUsedCase and intents.json recentPrompts/updatedAt are volatile keys for the change check. The keep count has a minimum of 2. Wiki restore paragraph aligned with RESTART_REQUIRED.
Review round 2 on #661: the hostname in the origin orphaned every snapshot when a Docker container was recreated, so the origin is a random id kept in <data dir>/config-backup-id; after restoring settings.json the Settings form is re-read from /api/settings so Save cannot write the old values back; the restore confirm names the files and the credential ones; clis.json is reloaded (reloadCliRegistry) and users.json needs no restart; API reference and route docs corrected.
Review round on #661: webhook.json and intents.json are redacted in compare and URL values lose userinfo/query; a custom folder is probed (bounded, pastCap) before each pass and in each route and only created when its parent exists; manifests record an origin and change check, prune, list, restore and diff are scoped to it; a restore reloads IntentStore, lists untouched files and treats settings.json as restart-required; remote-cases.json is tracked; stale .tmp-cfg-* folders are swept and a failed restore unlinks its temp; the group is hidden from non-admins; an empty days field saves 30.
Settings -> System -> Config backups gains a Compare view: a backup against the
running config, a backup against the one before it, or any two backups. Each
differing file lists its changed keys as before/after, plus files that appeared
or vanished. GET /api/config-backups/diff?from=&to= serves it (`to` defaults to
`current`; admin only in multi-user mode).
Credential values are never returned: .env, users.json and push-keys.json report
names only, and any other key that looks like a token, secret, password,
credential or key is reported as changed without its value. A non-JSON file
reports only that it differs, a file is cut at 200 changes, and a self-refreshed
discovery timestamp does not count as a difference.
custom-model-hosts.json carries a lastDiscoveredAt per host that the 5-minute model
discovery poll rewrites, so the content hash never matched the latest snapshot and a
snapshot was written every tick. At the default keep count of 20 that left about 100
minutes of history and evicted every useful older copy.
The change check now looks through volatile keys per tracked file. The snapshot still
stores the file as written and restore still verifies against its own digest.
- New wiki page Config-Backups: what is backed up (and what is not, and why), when a backup is made,
where and under what name (cfg-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS, manifest.json, reasons), retention and its
guarantees, the Settings controls, restore (verify, pre-restore copy, atomic write, which files
need a restart), security, the HTTP API and troubleshooting.
- Linked from the Home index and sidebar; Settings Reference, Troubleshooting ("my settings were
reset"), Security and Core Concepts updated; README and CLAUDE.md entries; the api-reference
section now states the naming convention and the full tracked list.
- Found while documenting: remote-hosts.json, docker-hosts.json, docker-cases.json and
webviews.json are user configuration too and were not tracked; they are now. state.json stays
out on purpose (rewritten per session event, also holds cron jobs and respawn presets) and the
docs say so.
The files that hold a user's customization (settings.json, clis.json, custom-model-hosts.json,
webhook.json, intents.json, linked-cases.json, push-keys.json, users.json, .env) are plain JSON
in the data dir, rewritten by the server, the Settings UI and the CLI, with no copy to go back to.
A snapshot is taken at startup and whenever the tracked files' content changes (checked every
five minutes, and only written when a digest of the file set differs from the latest snapshot's),
into `<data dir>/backups/config` by default or any absolute folder. Retention keeps the newest
configBackupKeepCount (1-500) and, when configBackupKeepDays > 0, drops older ones; it only ever
deletes folders it made (name pattern and a parseable manifest) and never the newest.
GET/POST /api/config-backups list and back up now; POST .../:id/restore verifies every file against
the manifest's SHA-256, takes a pre-restore snapshot, then replaces files atomically with mode
0600, writing only allowlisted names. Snapshots are 0700 folders of 0600 files and all routes are
admin only in multi-user mode. Settings -> System gets the controls and a Restore list.
Claude Code draws its prompt suggestion in an empty composer, the first letter in the reverse-video cursor cell and the rest faint, so a plain capture read it as typed text and keep-warm never nudged those sessions. The keep-warm pane read now uses capture-pane -e and drops the suggestion before checking the composer.
Also from review: an off status carries no window, automation and an unreadable composer retry instead of stopping, a failed evaluation re-arms a retry, a trigger during an evaluation queues one follow-up that remove() cancels, and the cap's clock is seeded from lastSubmitAt for pre-upgrade state.
Only a human spends an idle alert, but the keep-alive turn resolved an unseen one three ways: its working transition, its stop hook, and its own idle prompt replacing the item with a pre-acknowledged one. While the turn runs, a pending idle item is now left exactly as found, the page's stop handler returns on the keep-alive reason before clearing hooks or raising Response Complete, and session:working/session:idle carry keepAlive so the stuck-detection timer neither restarts nor re-arms.
The window that marks the turn closes on its own idle prompt or any other submit instead of a fixed three minutes, which a slow turn's idle prompt (sent a minute after the turn ends) could outlast. The service keeps the default and cap in memory, read through a strict reader so a mid-write read is retried rather than kept, and the cap is clamped before the strict settings save.
Claude Code lets a subscription's one-hour prompt cache expire after an hour idle, and the first turn back re-writes the whole conversation at the cache-write rate; nearly every gap over an hour goes cold, while the saving is concentrated in gaps of one to four hours. Codeman now sends one short keep-alive turn five minutes before the expiry Claude Code reports on its statusline, so the next real prompt still reads the conversation from cache, and stops two hours (configurable) after the last real prompt.
Codeman owns the idle policy for these sessions, as agreed in Discussion #554: a launch with keep-warm on also carries idleCompaction: false in its one --settings JSON, so Claude Code's own idle compaction cannot replace the conversation with a summary a minute before the nudge. It is decided once per launch (keep-warm on, the statusLine exporter injected, Claude Code 2.1.290 or newer, an unknown version fails closed like --name), recorded on the mux record, and picked up by any relaunch; a launch with keep-warm off is byte-identical. A session switched on after launch is kept warm best-effort and the readout says so.
Every guard lives in one pure rulebook: the opt-in (an agent-spawned session does not inherit the app default), a launch that reports cache state, a warm 1h cache with enough tokens at stake and no compaction this gap, a live pane, no usage-limit pause, no respawn, Ralph, task or waiting agent, idle, no open dialog, an empty composer and no recent keystroke. The nudge is a submit and moves lastSubmitAt, which the response viewer's conversation correlation needs; the cap counts from its own persisted lastRealPromptAt instead. Read My Mind drops the exact nudge text, and the turn's stop hook and idle prompt open pre-acknowledged so nothing alerts. The last cache report and the clock survive a restart, so the timer re-arms.
Codex cites files as [label](/abs/path). The chat view gave those links target=_blank, so a click opened <origin>/abs/path and landed on a Fastify 404. Path-shaped hrefs now take the linkified-path shape the file preview already opens; scheme, protocol-relative and fragment links are unchanged.
Resolve Copilot forwarding and registry/documentation overlaps against upstream e63bb65b. Reuse upstream always policy for measured version-independent forwarders and test slow clicks for Claude, Codex and Copilot.
Under 600px the window stays full screen whatever Expand or a drag says, and both
controls are hidden. Stepping onto a folder-grid entry goes through the grid so its
index follows. Alt+left/right is swallowed at the ends of the list too. Adds tests
for the key handler, the grip clamp and the history/grid case, zh-CN titles and wiki lines.
Address the remaining PR #645 review: preserve shell Ctrl/sideways local scrolling, restore the paging threshold export, document tile leading-report lifetime, and update internal and user scrolling documentation.

GitHub Copilot CLI (`copilot`) becomes a run mode: Run menu, welcome
screen, cron and CLI management once it is installed, tmux-backed like
the other agent CLIs, working/idle and the model read off its footer,
launch options through `copilotConfig` (model, resume, continue, the
multi-user-clamped allowAll), Custom Model Endpoints via Copilot's BYOK
variables, MCP sync of its mcp-config.json, a status probe, and the
`codeman agent` verbs (spawn waits for its composer, read returns its
last answer).
The plan-usage quota row that earlier rounds carried was split out on
review and is not part of this merge.
Merge-time commits on top: the wider COPILOT_* clamp and the zh-CN
README rows (maintainer), the Docker sign-in docs, divider rows inside
an answer kept by `agent read`, route tests for the screen-read
last-response branch, and doc drift (Past Sessions, wheelForward JSDoc,
COPILOT_/OMP_ in the env prefix lists).
Verified before merge on Copilot CLI 1.0.98: injected keystrokes,
bracketed paste and Enter reach the TUI in tmux (github/copilot-cli#4180
does not reproduce), a shell tool call completes inside tmux (#4223 does
not reproduce), and a session driven through this branch answered over
send-and-wait.

docs/api-reference.md (the signal notes and the idle/working rows), and the
wiki's Notifications-And-Approvals, Keeping-Agents-Running and Troubleshooting
pages, plus docs/grok-integration.md, still called Antigravity's working and
idle status unreliable. It now declares a working line and prompt marker like
Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Pi and OMP, so only Grok stays on generic cues. The
Troubleshooting entry for a session stuck showing busy also says that an
Antigravity session waiting on a shell-command approval shows busy until it is
answered, and the API reference says the same of its idle signal.

The new App Settings row had no zh-CN entry, so it read in English in a
Chinese UI, and docs/wiki/Settings-Reference.md did not list it. Adds the
label and description to i18n.js, a row in the Agents & CLIs table, and a
JSDOM test that runs the real translator over the real index.html.

Both Docker sections said "or set COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN for the session",
which cannot work: a docker quick-start refuses envOverrides
(session-routes.ts), and Copilot's dockerExecEnvNames is empty, so a token
in the server environment is not forwarded into the container either. The
sentence now says to sign in inside the container and why the token route
does not exist.

The Remote SSH section claimed the same flags and clamp as a local launch, but defaultRemoteCommandForMode starts a bare copilot (pinned in test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts). Nothing in the UI sets copilotConfig.model, so the model rows now say API callers, or COPILOT_MODEL for a custom endpoint.
Review of 8659ba25..be987fbb:
- Usage: a Free account answers premium_interactions {entitlement: 0, remaining: 0,
percent_remaining: 0, unlimited: false, has_quota: false}, which read as 100% used. The parser now
returns null when has_quota is false or the entitlement is not positive, with that payload as a
fixture. Free meters chat (200) and completions (2000) too, so the comment no longer says they
are unlimited on every plan.
- agent read: rows were skipped until a `❯ <prompt>` row, so an answer taller than the pane
(prompt scrolled off the top) read as "". With no prompt row AND no banner / trust dialog on
screen, the rows above the composer are now the tail of the last answer. Text typed in the
composer (a prompt-shaped row between the two rules) is not a prompt row.
- Page keys: measured on 1.0.95 in tmux that Copilot pages on PageUp/PageDown (three PageUp moved
lines 109-140 to 010-042, PageDown returned) as well as on SGR wheel reports, so copilot joins
claude and opencode in _localScrollbackIsHollow(); the stale-tracking-flag fallback the comment
and docs describe is now true, for the main pane and a TerminalTile (same function), with tests.
- X-GitHub-Api-Version is 2022-11-28, a version GitHub supports (verified against the live
endpoint); readPlanUsageTelemetryEnabled() is checked before isCopilotAvailable() so a switched-off
chip skips the resolver probe too.
- Palette label for Copilot in panels-ui.js; stale comments in types/session.ts and stock.ts.
- Docs: Past Sessions continues with --continue (resumeSessionId is for API callers), nothing sets
continueSession on a respawn, and only a tab name the user set is passed as --name; the usage
wording for Free; the wheel and mouse-strip paragraphs in CLAUDE.md and
architecture-invariants; the changeset describes the whole feature.
- New docs/copilot-integration.md in the shape of the other CLI guides: install and identity
probe, authentication (keychain vs plain-text config.json, COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN), what Codeman
wires up (Run button --yolo and its clamp, model, resume, continue, --name rule), BYOK custom
endpoints, terminal behaviour (drag selection, wheel and touch), the codeman agent verbs
(ready mark, read), plan usage, Docker, Remote SSH, what is deliberately not wired, known gaps.
- Agent-CLIs wiki: the eleven-modes table, a GitHub Copilot CLI section, the env prefix row, the
feature-comparison rows and the status endpoint list.
- README, Home, FAQ, Core Concepts, Docker Cases, Remote SSH, Contributing, The Dashboard and
Custom Model Endpoints: mode lists and counts; CLAUDE.md: stack line, SessionMode, prefixes,
resolver list, external-CLI notes and the plan-usage source; api-reference MCP target wording;
the env allowlist error message names COPILOT_*.
- Drop GH_TOKEN / GITHUB_TOKEN from env.allowedKeys. The allowlist is one global list with no
mode context, so they were settable on every session. COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN is already admitted
by the COPILOT_ prefix.
- Declare capabilities.mcpConfig (copilot-json, COPILOT_HOME relocation) so Settings does not
list Copilot as unsupported while the sync-only target also lists it. The sync-only row is
skipped while the run mode is enabled.
- Require a leading alphanumeric on the resume id (path-segment in the registry, matching regex in
the schema): --resume's value is optional, so `--resume --yolo` made --yolo its own flag and
bypassed the allowAll clamp. Golden cases added; "ids only" wording corrected.
- Remove the unread overlays.credStore line and document signing in inside a Docker container.
- Add the zh-CN "Run GitHub Copilot" string, pin the new declarations in tests and update the
MCP registry expectations.
Review round: the footer hint is drawn only at rest, so nothing arms the idle check while the Run this command list is up. The stock.ts comment, wiki, changeset and test now say a pending approval shows as working until answered, and the test pins busy during the confirmation. Adds the antigravity copy of the reattached-pane settle test, and updates the promptGlyph comment and the fixture header.
agy animates an 8-dot braille spinner (⣯ ⡿ ⣻ ⣾ ⣷ ⣟ ⢿ ⣽) with a label one row above
the composer, none of which is in SPINNER_PATTERN, and the entry declared no
workDetect, so no frame ever marked a tab working.
Declare the working line from the live pane and the footer hint `? for shortcuts`
as the idle-arming mark. The composer's `>` cannot be the glyph: the echoed
prompt starts with it too. Tests use verbatim captures from agy 1.3.3.
Follow-up to the previous commit, after a fact check against the code.
- Answer surfaces: the header bell answers Claude prompts, the phone
strip only Claude dialogs (and only with the inbox on), and push
Approve/Deny only a Claude permission prompt (PUSH_EVENT_MAP gives
actions to permission_prompt alone). README, its Chinese mirror, the
notifications page and the phone guide now say so.
- Antigravity and Grok Build: after the 3 s launch settle, idle is armed
only by Claude's prompt marker and working only by a braille spinner,
so "idle when output stops changing" was wrong. The wiki, the grok
guide and the API reference now call their status unreliable.
- DeepSeek Harness: its idle and working reports become stop and
agent_working, which drive respawn, waits and the inbox but not the
session's own working/idle display. Keeping Agents Running says that,
and that the respawn path needs the status bridge.
- The wait section of the API reference no longer calls exit the only
dependable signal for screen-checked modes; the inbox page names how
Codex and DeepSeek items clear; Core Concepts and Hooks And
Integrations no longer call DeepSeek "the one" exception; Agent CLIs
notes that Codex dialogs still raise the red alert; the inbox design
doc notes the alert-only items.
- Skill: stop and blocked list deepseek, and SKILL.md no longer says
codex has neither a transcript nor blocked. Mirrored with
scripts/sync-plugin.mjs.

The README (and its Chinese mirror) said the Approvals Inbox queues every
pending prompt and answers it from the bell or the phone. It holds prompts
from Claude Code, Codex (screen-read) and DeepSeek Harness only, and only
Claude's are answerable: Codex and DeepSeek items are alerts that say to
answer in the terminal, with no Approve/Deny on the push or the phone strip.
The wiki, the TUI guide and the phone guide now say the same.
Keeping Agents Running, Troubleshooting and the API reference still said
every CLI but Claude, Codex and DeepSeek falls back to output
stabilization. OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Pi and OMP declare
capabilities.workDetect too and get the same screen check; only
Antigravity and Grok Build declare none. Core Concepts now mentions
Codex's screen-read dialogs, and the respawn gotcha notes that DeepSeek's
own end-of-turn report reaches the respawn controller.
