The violet button was the one thing on the start screen outside the app's
blue, and it carried white text and a see-through disc where its neighbour
has dark ink and a solid disc. It is now white with dark ink and a solid
disc, the same on the Install button, and the chooser's selected row, tile
and model bar follow. Light skins turn it over to dark, since a white button
vanishes on a pale page. The context takes the app's blue.
The tokens are named for what they mean now (--lm-brand, --lm-context).
Brings test/local-model-ui.browser.test.ts up to the redesign it had fallen
behind: it is outside the gate, so the button's 46 px, the 12 px bar and the
memory panel's edges had gone unnoticed.

The owner's verdict on the chooser: nice, but not nice enough, too much just
blue. He also wants "Run a local model" on top of the start screen, above
Run Claude Code.
The memory bar is now a map: the model, its context and the brief peaks side
by side on the track of what this Mac can give a model, each with its size in
a legend, and the verdict on the fit beside the figure. recommend() sends what
the need is made of as `Candidate.memory`.
Colour now carries meaning: green for good and tested, amber for tight, orange
for slow, teal for the context. Violet is the feature's own colour, on its
start screen button and its main action. Every row has a size tile and a speed
gauge scaled to the fastest row in the list. The light skins get deeper values
of the same colours, and the window is 40 px taller to hold it without
scrolling.

The owner asked for it much bigger and in the middle. The button keeps the
chip's markup and takes the primary button's height, radius and weight, with
an accent outline and its glyph in a disc, so a model on this Mac is offered
as a main way in rather than as a footnote under the launchers.

The window is one frame for the whole flow: a fixed height on desktop, App
Settings' boxed close button, the buttons in a foot of their own outside
the part that scrolls, so a click never moves the next button away and
nothing is cut off; the short screens are centred in it on desktop and sit
above the buttons on a phone.
The chooser lists the pick first and then the other models by download
size, largest first, a column the reader can see. A pick that only just
fits says "Best fit, tight". The memory figure is an estimate and says so
once, in whole GB; its legend names the peak, and the installed line uses
the same words beside what the model takes now, so the two figures are not
read as a contradiction. The legend, the column headers and the foot's
promise are set in --text-dim, the bar's track in --text-muted so its free
part can be seen, and only the download figure keeps tabular figures.
The consent screen is the download as a table: the chosen row, the runtime,
the coding agent with its installer's command as the row's second line, the
total in the strong weight, then where it goes in one line. The download bar
means the model download alone and is gone once the model is in; the screen
that ends an install shows "Start a session" alone; an error on an installed
model is the headline with a grey dot; an error's first sentence is the
headline; Remove is quiet everywhere but red in its own question. The
no-recommendation reasons are one sentence each, and the untested note is
in Codeman's voice. A refusal the server names is printed from its sentence.

Only the two session routes asked launchRefusalMessage(). The attach that
finds no pane, the respawn of a dead pane (a click on the tab, a respawn
start, the boot recovery), restartCli() and the reboot-restore rebuild
started an agent on the endpoint unasked. Session gains setLaunchGuard(),
asked right before a NEW agent process is started and never for an attach to
an agent that runs; WebServer.setupSessionListeners() sets it for every
session; a refusal is a LaunchRefusedError that never falls back to a direct
PTY. The reboot-restore route asks before it builds and skips the entry with
its own reason, left on offer.

The read-only card is gone. The welcome screen has one button, "Run a local
model" ("Local model" once one is installed), and App Settings > Models has
one row; both open the same window.
The window follows `install.state`: choose a model (a radio group, with a
memory bar filled to what the selected model needs), confirm the sizes and
the folder, watch the download and the steps, and end on "Start a session".
Paused, failed, installed (running or stopped), Remove and "no model fits"
are screens of the same window. It polls the GET once a second while open.
Every dynamic string goes in through textContent, labels and sentences come
from the payload, no CLI id is compared, and every new string has a zh-CN
entry.

Review fixes for the read-only recommendation and its card.
Recommendation (pure):
- `limited` is now a statement about the Mac: no model with 12 billion
parameters or more fits. It is judged on everything that fits, before
the disk filter and whatever the pick is. A 32 or 36 GB Mac whose pick
is a 9B model no longer reads "This Mac can run a small model" above a
list of 20B, 27B and 35B models, and knowing the chip no longer lowers
the verdict. A small pick under `ok` carries a note that says so.
- A model that fits the memory but has no room on the disk is no longer
dropped in silence: the best-ranked one is named in a note with the GB
that are missing. A full disk cannot turn a 48 GB Mac into a
small-model Mac.
- "Models fit, but not at a context a harness needs" has its own
sentence with the budget and the need, worded as an estimate. The
16 GB Mac mini misses by 1.3 points (10.3 of 10.4 GB) and was told
flatly that its memory is too little, the sentence of an 8 GB Mac.
- The installed memory is named by the size the Mac is sold as (48, not
51.5): the hardware line and the memory sentence. Every computed size
stays decimal GB from the one formatter. An unknown memory size is no
longer reported as "0.0 GB".
- Slow is graded on the unrounded speed: 9.95 to 9.9996 tokens per
second printed as 10 and read ok.
- The disk sentence names the 10 GiB that must stay free, so its
numbers add up for the reader.
Card and Settings group:
- The Settings group "Model on this Mac" is hidden on a server that is
not a Mac, and until the first answer says it is one.
- Only `403 FORBIDDEN` is a refusal. `403 PASSWORD_CHANGE_REQUIRED`
(an admin who must change the password) is a failed request and is
asked again, so that admin no longer loses the card until a reload.
- Each fit and speed label carries what it measures as its tooltip and
accessible name, an alternative with a speed estimate prints it, and
the count beside "Other models that fit" is gone (it was the number
of rows, capped at four, not the number of models that fit).
- The line saying nothing can be set up yet sits right under the pick,
in the colour of every other line (it was 3.9:1), and says whose step
it is.
- The dismissal key is named for this stage, so hiding the read-only
card does not hide the install offer later.

The read-only face of GET /api/local-model: what the Mac the server runs on
can run as a local coding model.
- local-model-ui.js: one builder paints both containers from the same
payload: the hardware line, the server's headline, the pick with its numbers
(context, download, memory need against the budget, speed), the server's
notes, the other models that fit with their Good, Tight, Slow or Speed
unknown labels, and one line saying that setting it up from Codeman is the
next step and is not built yet.
- The welcome card ships hidden and shows only once the server answered for a
Mac. It stays hidden for not-macos, for a refused request (a non-admin in
multi-user mode) and after "Hide", a per-device localStorage key. The App
Settings group "Model on this Mac" (Models) carries the loading and failure
sentences and is the way back after a Hide.
- Every dynamic string goes in through textContent, both containers are
data-i18n-skip and the module translates its own sentences, repainting on a
language change. Sizes are printed as sent. Labels and harness names come
from the payload: the module names no CLI and the word "Recommended" is not
in it.
- One request a minute at most, shared while in flight; a failed refresh keeps
the last answer on screen.
- i18n.js: zh-CN entries for the module's strings and for every server label.
- frontend-cli-no-id-branching.test.ts scans the new module.
Tests: test/local-model-ui.test.ts (JSDOM over the real markup),
test/local-model-i18n.test.ts.

The contract three builders code against in parallel. Nothing is recommended
yet: the route answers 501 and the catalogue is empty.
- src/types/local-model.ts: HardwareFacts, the catalogue rows, HarnessFact,
Candidate, Recommendation, LocalModelStatus, and LOCAL_MODEL_LABELS, the one
list of sentences the server may put into the payload (the zh-CN dictionary
is keyed by them).
- src/local-model/format.ts: formatGb, the one place a byte count becomes a
size a person reads (decimal GB), and memClassGb.
- src/config/local-model-catalog.ts: the Zod schema (model ids are name:tag,
lowercase, no slash) and an empty stock catalogue. No override file.
- Skeletons with their final signatures: hardware.ts, recommend.ts,
harness-facts.ts, routes/local-model-routes.ts (injectable dependencies),
public/local-model-ui.js with its script tag.

The poll had no hidden-tab gate, and the local scan's 5 s cache sits under the
8 s interval, so a single tab never hit it: every tick was a full socket sweep
(1.1 s and 772 forks on a box with 212 sockets) for a list nobody was reading.
`_foreignPollTick()` is now the one gate for the first load, the timer and the
return to a visible tab. The `visibilitychange` listener is stored and removed
in `stopForeignPolling()`, since this runs on every trip to the home screen.
Checked in real chromium with document.hidden stubbed: 2 polls in 9.5 s visible,
0 in 17.5 s hidden, 1 on return, and a tab opened in the background makes none
until it is shown.

A subfolder whose bounded probe answered `unknown` came back as `children: []`
with no `incomplete` and `truncated` false, so a dead mount, or a healthy one
slower than the 1.5 s probe on first touch, read as an empty folder and a
search missed it in silence. `unknown` is never `absent` (#516).
Such a folder now goes on the walk's `unread` list, which flags the node and
sets `truncated` in both walks. A folder the filesystem says is gone drops out
quietly as before. The row said "file limit reached", which would be false
here, so it now reads "Not fully scanned" for either reason.
Reproduced on a real disk with a parent at mode 0444, where the child's stat
answers EACCES: the API, the search and the panel all report it.

105 new em-dashes sat in comments, test names and one test fixture from the
foreign tmux adoption work. Replaced by hand with commas, colons or
parentheses, one reading at a time. The fixture now quotes the real refusal

Clone Repo's custom folder became a parent that must already exist (#774),
while its picker still had no New folder button (#761 turned it on for
Create New only). A parent that does not exist yet was refused with no way
to make it from the form, so the same job worked on one tab and dead-ended
on the other.
The test pin that kept Clone off dated from when the field was the exact
target, which could be a folder not yet created. Clone moves to the on side
of that pin, so every picker in the file stays covered.

The Edit history panel told an adopted session it needed to be a Claude
session outside Docker, and a stop wait blamed the missing Claude Code hooks
on the mode. Both refusals are right, only the words misled. Each now says
Codeman did not start the session, with a zh-CN entry for the panel.

The attach line now takes the rule #770 gave remote and docker launches: bashCArg() single-quotes it at both respawn-pane sites, so it reaches bash verbatim. quoteAdoptLaunch is retired, since its double quotes kept the same $ and backtick safety but lost a real newline. #510's no-cd condition stays.

The "Will clone into" line named a folder the request would not use: the
preflight replaces the page's guessed case name with the server's (for a
URL such as .../repo?tab=readme the guess is repo-tab-readme and the server
says repo) and nothing refreshed the preview, so it stayed on the old name
while the field and the request moved on. It is now refreshed there too.
The Browse picker's title and the empty-field toast still said "Choose the
folder to clone into", the old exact-target meaning. Both now ask for the
parent folder, matching the field's label.
CLAUDE.md and the invariants paragraph split the two meanings: path on the
API is the exact folder, the Clone Repo tab's field is a parent and the page
sends <folder>/<case name>.

`_renderMarkdown` wrote dir="auto" into its string, before the code pins and
the linkifier. An element carrying dir="auto" re-resolves its direction on
every insertion under it, and a block whose letters all sit in `dir` children
walks its whole subtree each time, so a code-only or path-only document went
quadratic, English ones included.
Measured in real Chromium through the real File Viewer, before and after:
9000 inline-code items 8.7 s to 0.35 s, 9000 bare paths 5.6 s to 0.23 s, a
209 KB out-of-workspace list 41.9 s to 1.4 s. All three now match master.
The pass is now `_applyBlockDirection()`, run last on the DOM by both
consumers. The direction results are unchanged. Tests pin that the rendered
string holds no dir="auto" and that the pass runs after the linkifier.

Names tmux reads as target syntax (`@1`, `%1`, `=eq`, a bare `~`) passed the
has-session guard by name and then joined something else in new-session -t:
another session, or a fresh shell on the foreign server. They are refused at
discovery now, and take the existing skipped note.
One stopped tmux server emptied the whole local list and left a stuck client
per scan. Each server now gets a bounded ping with stdout at /dev/null first,
because a tmux client hands dups of its stdout to the server: a stopped server
holds our pipe open after the client is dead, so a watchdog around list-panes
cannot work. The probe runs in its own process group, all three transports
keep the rows read before a failure, and a missed ping becomes a note.
The attach and the probe pass -u, so a POSIX-locale container no longer garbles
the tab or lists a non-ASCII name as underscores. A docker attach gets the same
TERM and COLORTERM an owned container's exec gets.
A missing tmux no longer reads as "session is gone", and the launch line's `$`
now reaches bash unexpanded, so the ssh attach's PATH line is expanded at the
far end, as the probe's already was.
fix-plan/write, fix-plan/read and ralph-prompt/write refuse an adopted session:
its workingDir is the neutral /tmp, so they read and wrote a predictable name
in a folder anyone can write to.
FOREIGN_MAX_SOCKETS is gone: it capped nothing, and a real cap in glob order
would never reach `default` on a box with many `codeman-*` sockets (this one
has 212). Closing an adopted tab re-reads the outside-sessions list.

The cases-folder refusal grew to 143 characters, and the status line is one
line with an ellipsis and no title, so at 513px on desktop it ended at "or
make the case with Ad..." and lost the instruction. .path-picker-status.error
now wraps: 2 lines on desktop, 4 on a phone, measured clear in Chromium at
both, and it covers the picker's other refusals too.
Tests: a pin on that rule (fails without the fix), and the option check now
reads each picker's whole options object instead of a fixed 400 characters,
which stopped short of the container-workdir picker's 829. Retitled to say
what it checks: Create New has the flag too.

The two routes are public under /api/v1, so they get an API reference section.
The overlay gets an architecture note and a CLAUDE.md rule: an adopted session
has session.remote and session.docker undefined and a neutral workingDir, so any
new code that reads workingDir as a workspace must also test isAdopted. That is
the class of bug this round fixed a dozen times.
Records a measured limit: while the view exists an owner's kill-session leaves
the window alive under it until the tab closes.
Comments that still called workingDir the foreign pane's cwd now say what is
true since the wrapper got its neutral folder. Also drops a zh-CN key that
duplicated an existing one, and updates the two structure tests pinned on the
lines this round changed.

The setting told users the sandbox and approvals stay on. With it on, a
command in Codex's sandbox can call Codeman's API, which can start a session
outside the sandbox with no approval prompt. Measured on codex 0.162.0 with
`codex sandbox`: a touch the sandbox refused landed through POST /api/sessions,
and from inside a Codeman pane it landed with a password set too, because a
pane inherits CODEMAN_PASSWORD. Without that password the same call gets 401.
The settings row, the wiki, the skill and the changeset now say so, the wiki
Security page and security-architecture name it, and the docs scope the claims
to what the code does: app-wide, local launches only, not cron jobs, and
--no-daemon is a local launch's flag. Agent-CLIs gains the --no-daemon
trade-off. A test pins that no surface sells the sandbox as still in charge.
Text only: the switch, the clamp and the launch are unchanged.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Every string the block shows now has a zh-CN entry, harvested by a test from the
real module. The row's mode comes from the CLI catalog, not a list of ids that
had already missed omp and copilot. The close dialog's line is static, so the
translator can reach it.
A non-admin's poll answers 403, which read as a failed poll: "Could not reach
the server" under a heading they cannot use, and a request every eight seconds.
That now stops the polling and shows no block.
Wide-scan notes are kept apart from local ones, so the next local poll no longer
wipes "remote X: unreachable" while its rows stay on the list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The wrapper's workingDir is the neutral /tmp, and everything master grew since
1.33.2 that branches on session.remote or session.docker read that as a local
session working in /tmp, because an adopted session keeps its connection on
adopt.remote and adopt.docker.
So uploads wrote into /tmp and closing the tab recursively deleted the shared
folder; the Git panel, its fetch and the fetch scheduler ran git on whatever sat
there; the image watcher, Read My Mind and the Discord bridge used that folder;
last-response paired a transcript by it and could show another conversation's
answer as this one's; a magic link in a container's output registered a file
from this host's /tmp; and guarded input could type into a human's composer.
Each now refuses or answers unsupported, the browser hides the rows that cannot
work, and Session Options shows where the foreign pane was instead of /tmp.
The custom-model route refuses as well, since it restarts the CLI in the pane.
The local version probe is skipped: the local binary says nothing about a
process someone else started, possibly on another host.
Also moves the guard test to port 0, which test-ports-guard now requires.

The fair rounds give a directory its node before reading it, so every folder
still queued when the 5,000-node budget ends sat in the tree with empty or
partial children and read as an empty folder. Keep the node on the tree cursor
and set an additive incomplete: true on every cursor left in the queue, then
draw one dim, inert row under such a folder while it is expanded. The envelope
check ignores keys it does not know, so old and new clients stay compatible.
Stop each round at the top once the budget is spent, before the shift: the
rest stay queued unread, and flagged, rather than read and sorted for nothing.
Say what the walk is: a per-directory round-robin (breadth-first), fair per
directory and not per subtree, with search results now shallow-first.

The owner's answer to the PR's open question: the switch does not also pass
--sandbox workspace-write. Settings, wiki, skill and release note now state
the consequence: a folder Codex runs read-only keeps the network closed and
asks per command. A golden test pins the decision by name, and the stale
launch-defaults comments now name networkAccess.

Brings the 1.33.2 based adoption feature up to master. Conflicts were

both sides kept for imports, the script tag and the stylesheet blocks; the

The gate comment in terminal-ui.js said a stale-false flag falls through
to the PageUp/PageDown fallback, which is false for pi since the second
commit of this PR removed that fallback. The FOOTGUN comment above it made
the same claim. Say what happens instead.
"Every pi below 1.0.0 emits no mouse enables" was too absolute: regular
was the default there, but fullscreen exists from 0.84.0. Measured with
--tui-mode fullscreen under tmux on 0.84.1, 0.85.0, 0.86.0 and 0.99.2:
alternate_on=1, mouse_any_flag=1, mouse_sgr_flag=1. Default settings on
0.99.2 report all 0.
Document that Wheel Scrolls Local History leaves the wheel dead in
fullscreen pi (wiki, integration guide, changeset), add a pi block to
Troubleshooting, cross-reference the accepted exception from the dead
gesture rule in architecture-invariants, and mark the pi-integration-plan
passages this PR reversed as superseded.
Comments and docs only, no runtime change.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
transcriptPageKeys applied to every pi, and a pi in `tuiMode: regular` binds
PageUp/PageDown to its editor. It emits no mouse enable, so the flag stays
false, and on a fresh pane the buffer is hollow: the wheel sent PageUp, the
caret of a multi-line draft moved, and the next keystroke landed on the wrong
line. Measured on real pi 1.1.0, 1.4.0 and 1.5.0. Regular mode is not exotic,
it only takes one line in pi's settings. Telling the two modes apart would
need a new capability, since the paging gate takes no id, so pi has no
fallback: a fullscreen pi with "Wheel scrolls local history" on stays where
master left it.
altScreen, the half of the fix that does the work, was pinned by nothing:
reverting it left 1328 tests green. The strip decision table reads its
expected value from the same registry entry. pi now has its own block using
the bytes it really emits, which also pins that focus reporting survives.
The fullscreen default dates from pi 1.0.0, not 1.4.0, so the comments say
that, and the sites still calling pi narrow-strip or main-screen by default
are corrected. Where a comment listed CLIs it now names the capability.

Claude Code's EnterWorktree moves the running process into
<repo>/.claude/worktrees/<name>, while Session.workingDir stays on the main
checkout. The Files panel kept walking workingDir, so it listed a tree the
agent had left.
paneCwd already follows the move, measured on Claude Code 2.1.318 in both
directions, so nothing new has to track the agent. It also follows every cd
in a shell, so a new SessionState.liveWorktree narrows it to a linked
worktree, read from the .git file without starting git.
Only a folder strictly below workingDir is ever an answer, and the listing
only starts there: returned paths stay relative to workingDir, so the
preview, raw and edit routes are unchanged and confinement does not widen.
A worktree outside the session folder stays unfollowed.
The panel asks with root=live, shows a strip naming the worktree with a
switch to the session folder, and follows the agent in and out while open.

pi 1.4.0 is an alt-screen TUI that enables mouse tracking once at start.
Codeman's replay (tab switch, reload) drops that mode in xterm
(mouseTrackingMode none, baseY 0), so the wheel hit an empty local buffer
and stayed dead until a resize made pi redraw.
Same shape as copilot: altScreen strip-mux-and-mouse (the server records
the stripped DECSETs as cliMouseTracking, which survives the replay),
wheelForward always, transcriptPageKeys (PageUp/PageDown fallback for a
stale flag, measured on pi 1.4.0). _shouldForwardWheelToApp treats pi like
copilot. Registry pins and docs updated.
Tests: 2 new in terminal-scroll-routing (red before). Full run: 12989
passed, 5 red from the de_DE locale / XDG env (custom-model-run-menu-ui,

(cherry picked from commit 53e4136d9f4401e9250ac6a122599ffcb2a57e8a)
Codeman itself always lived under $HOME; administrator rights were only
spent on what it needs first (system packages for Node.js, tmux and git,
Homebrew on a Mac). An account without those rights could not install it:
the installer died in ensure_sudo, or in Homebrew's own installer.
install.sh now has a no-admin route, taken by itself when the account has
no administrator rights (no sudo binary; outside sudo/wheel/admin and
`sudo -n true` fails; a refused sudo password; a Mac account outside the
admin group with no writable Homebrew) and forced with --no-admin or
CODEMAN_NO_ADMIN=1:
- Node.js: the official tarball from nodejs.org, checked against the
SHASUMS256.txt published beside it, into ~/.codeman/runtime/node.
- tmux: the tmux project's own build (tmux/tmux-builds 3.7c), checked
against a SHA-256 pinned in the installer, into ~/.codeman/runtime/bin.
- Both are linked from ~/.local/bin (never over a file that is not ours),
and the runtime is on PATH and on the LaunchAgent's PATH.
- git is never installed. Without a working git the source comes as an
archive, the install is marked with .install-source, and it updates by
re-running the installer: the new tree is built beside the old one and
swapped in only after the build succeeded. A later re-run on a machine
that has gained git turns it back into a clone.
- Nothing on this route runs sudo, Homebrew or `xcode-select --install`,
and the route is never decided by `sudo -v`.
What it cannot supply is checked before the first download: a C/C++
toolchain on Linux (node-pty 1.1.0 compiles there), musl, and macOS below
15 (the tmux build's deployment target).
Along the way:
- check_git no longer trusts `command -v git`. On a Mac without the Xcode
Command Line Tools /usr/bin/git is a stub that opens Apple's install
dialog; it is judged by `xcode-select -p` and never executed. Any other
git is asked for its version.
- scripts/git-hooks.mjs answers "not a checkout" without running git, for
the same reason: postinstall calls it on every npm install.
- The in-app updater knows the install kind `archive` and points such an
install at the installer instead of `npm i -g aicodeman@latest`.
- download() and download_to_stdout() resolve DOWNLOADER themselves. Only
main() used to set it, so `install.sh cloudflared` died on `set -u` with
the message swallowed by the step log.
- The AI CLI menu leaves out a Homebrew-only install command where there
is no Homebrew.
Verified with the real installer: a bare Ubuntu 24.04 container as an
unprivileged user (install, a PTY round trip through the API, update by
re-run, cloudflared, uninstall), the same without a compiler (stops before
any download), with a broken then working git, with sudo present but not
usable, and on macOS 26 (arm64) in an isolated HOME with sudo, brew, git,
the compilers, launchctl and tailscale replaced by tripwires. Not verified
on a real standard macOS account: that account was an administrator.

Review round 2: with the stored conversation tried before the launch id, a
respawn that resumed the launch conversation after a /clear was missed once
claude exited again: the cleared-to conversation still had a file and won,
so the edits made after the resume were never read. No fixed order of the
ids is right both after a /clear and after such a resume. Without a live
conversation the lookup now takes the most recently written transcript of
all known ids (stored, claudeSessionId, id); the live one still goes first.
Also from the review:
- the remote no-transcript note and the docs name login profiles too
(.profile, .bash_profile): sshd's `bash -c` reads neither, like .zshrc;
- a wiring guard pins that server.ts looks a remote transcript up with
remoteTranscriptIds and leaves the local lookup on the hook path;
- the browser tests undo the injected remote session in a finally.

Review findings on the remote edit history:
- A forward read may carry 13 MiB and "Load older" 29 MiB; the flat 30 s
read timeout cut those off below ~1 MiB/s. The timeout now adds the
transfer time at 256 KiB/s (remoteEditSourcesTimeoutMs). It ends a hung
read, it does not cut a slow one.
- The transcript lookup looked only under $HOME/.claude. It now uses an
absolute CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR of the ssh command's environment, else
$HOME/.claude, for both the projects and the live sessions/<pid>.json.
A value set only in .zshrc stays invisible (the lookup is a plain sh);
documented, and the panel's remote no-transcript note says so instead
of promising the next prompt (a remote host sends no hooks).
- After a remote /clear claudeSessionId stays the launch id, so once the
remote claude exited the lookup fell back to the cleared conversation
and the panel flipped back. The sync now hands the lookup the stored
conversation, tried right after the live one (remoteTranscriptIds).
