The agent chooser only appeared during the install, and only on a Mac with
no agent. After "Skip for now", or with Codeman already installed, there was
no screen for it.
The same chooser now works after the install: "Add a coding agent" on the
This Mac tab, "Add a Coding Agent to This Mac..." in the app menu (it also
works from a Codeman page), and after a Skip the app says Codeman has no
agent yet before it opens Codeman.
`install.sh agent <id>` installs one agent and nothing else. It checks that
THAT agent landed: install_offered_cli is fatal only when no CLI is left, so
with another one present a failed install would have reported success.
The app runs it as a run of its own (`gui_install::Run::Agent`), in its own
temporary folder, so `ps` never reads it as "Codeman is being installed". It
may run next to a live server, which an install must refuse, and stops only
for another run. `--no-admin` goes to both `preflight` and `agent`: it decides
what counts as installable, so the two must agree.
CI: the bash 3.2 preflight check never tested anything. Its child run
inherited CODEMAN_INSTALL_SH_LIB and stopped at the sourcing guard, and a
false [[ ]] does not trip set -e on bash 3.2. Both are fixed for that check.

The This Mac tab runs install.sh --no-admin itself. The two questions only a
person can answer move into the app: which coding agent to install, shown only
when this Mac has none, and who may reach Codeman. The installer's output goes
to a file, so a running install survives the app quitting and is picked up
again when it reopens.
install.sh gains --ai-cli, --progress and a preflight subcommand, which is what
the app reads its choices from, so it keeps no copy of the CLI catalogue.

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.

The release note and the security doc read as if no file view could return it. The
attachment, folder and download routes refuse it; file-raw serves a session's own
workspace without the blocklist, so a session rooted at the home directory can
still read it.

Consolidates the four contributor changesets, and rewords the em-dashes this release
added in comments and docs. The five in test/settings-save-failure-ui.test.ts stay:
they assert existing toast text.

The startup hint is no longer typed, a Discord reply is one of the input paths that
set fromUser, edit-history is a state file, POST /api/filesystem/mkdir is in the API
reference, and the store's header says which routes really refuse it.

The Discord bot token was readable through the attachment routes, because
discord.json was not on the sensitive list, and so were webhook.json,
custom-model-hosts.json and the generated custom-model configs. Config backups
were the wider gap: a dated copy of users.json or settings.json matched none of
the name-anchored patterns. All are blocked now.
`codeman notify --file` relied on folder confinement alone, which holds nothing
back when a tab's folder is the home directory, and it would also post a
workspace .env. It now applies the attachment blocklist to the real path.

Owner decision. Typing the note into a brand-new non-Claude tab spent a model
turn per tab and, for a spawned worker or a scheduled run, landed with the first
real prompt. Claude keeps its hint through the system prompt, and every other CLI
is told nothing. The setting goes with the path it gated: sessionIdle, the fresh
set, isHintableSession and the session:idle wiring. sendInput loses `fromUser`,
which was only ever false for the hint, and the deps test pins that a reply is a
person's own input.

`cwd` beside the fixed `workingDir` reads ambiguously on a public API surface, and
`paneCwd` says where the value comes from, like `paneExit`. Also pin the field on
the payload the browser really receives (getSessionStateWithRespawn), and give the
pane-directory text its own architecture-invariants paragraph.

A Bash( row holds a command, so its parentheses do not bound one spaced path:
`Bash(/tmp/a.out input.txt)` became a single link to a file that cannot exist and
lost master's `input.txt` link. The path tools keep linking a spaced name whole,
and a hard-wrapped Bash( row gets no spaced lookup either. Test rows from #734.

Say that settings.yaml is shared only until the session's first settings write
(dsh saves by rename, which replaces the link), warn when a session's own DSH_HOME
does not answer and the server's home is linked instead, test
guardSessionConfigDirHome, and document the linkFromRealHome exception and what a
custom-model dsh session does not carry over.

The launch-id check is pure, so it now runs before the context warning and the
swap confirmation: nobody agrees to evict a model only to get the 400. Also the
search-box and in-use comments, the model-plain-colon wording, and the wiki's
order of the picker's marks.

A new install has no seen list, so every new OpenCode user was still warned about
an October incident that is long over. The mechanism stays for the next notice;
an empty list is now a valid file, and the validators keep running over whatever
it holds.

Classify OpenSSL and LibreSSL's SSL_connect errors as unreachable again (`_` is a
word character, so \bssl\b missed them and the user read the temp directory as the
reason), point a cases-folder refusal at Clone Repo instead of Create New, and move
the mechanism and history out of CLAUDE.md into architecture-invariants.

It sat between the "two places" list and the paragraph starting "It browses",
so that "It" read as New folder, and it said the button is not offered inside
the cases folder when the button shows and the route refuses.

selectSession() toggles .active at once while _syncTabStripCorner() only runs in
the debounced render, so a cap set after measuring left a newly selected first
tab wider than the room and dropped the first row below the toolbar until then.
max-width changes nothing on a narrower tab, so the cap is simply always on, and
the clear-before-measure and finish-the-animation loops go. The no-usable-room
test uses 8 tabs: at 40 the scroll fallback fires first and it passed at any
threshold.

Follow-up from an own review pass of de436576:
- PATH_TOKEN_RE branch 1 stops at the next `file://` instead of at `:`,
so `file:///tmp/plot-12:30.png` is found again; still linear.
- Forward reads yield between files like "Load older"; a store removed
meanwhile ends the read and its printed paths are never probed.
- POST /edits/older and GET /edits/:entryId no longer load a store for
remote, Docker or non-claude sessions (shared unsupportedList()).
- Time budgets widened (1 s per line, 3 s per chunk; ~3 s / 6.6 s before
the fix) so the throttled suite does not flake.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- probeLocalPaths: every agent-printed candidate goes through
probePathKind() first (no pastCap, bulk scan), sequentially; only a path
that answered 'file' gets realpath + stat. A path on a mount that stopped
answering no longer hangs the sync, a queued sync or remove().
- PATH_TOKEN_RE: branch 4 starts only at a token boundary (`:` excluded so
URLs stay ignored), branch 1 stops at `:`. Linear in the line length
(30,000 `#` took ~3 s before).
- Load older yields to the event loop between the files it parses.
- GET /edits answers unsupported without loading a store.
- CLAUDE.md paragraph trimmed to the rules; probe and regex rules added to
architecture-invariants#edit-history-panel.
Tests: stall test through the real sync and probe with a stat that never
settles; time-budget tests with 30,000-character inputs and a 139-result
base64 chunk; route test asserts no store load for unsupported sessions.

Review round on PR #757. The route turns EVERY upstream failure into
isLlamaSwap: false, so the old line silently promised an unreachable
endpoint was merely mute, and the live-session check missed a null pid
(the PTY exited, the same test keep-warm applies).
- Require pid !== null in _getCustomModelInUseBySession, pinned by a
'process exited' case in the marks-nothing table
- Reword #customModelPickUnknown to claim only that nothing was
reported, true for a down endpoint too; drop the 'stays quiet for a
failed probe' promise from changeset, docs and comments
- architecture-invariants: add the In-use tier, both pin fences
(customModel not displayModel; stopped/null-pid/paneExit never
count) and the unknown-line rule
- Mirror the wording through i18n (key + zh-CN), index.html fixture,
styles.css comment, and the run-menu tests
Only llama-swap answers what is loaded, so behind a gateway such as Bifrost
nothing was marked and the picker fell back to discovery order apart from the
one CLI that had launched there before. A live session whose own injected
endpoint is that host now promotes its model as "In use by a session", under
its own tag and below llama-swap's "Currently loaded" answer, reading only
what Codeman injected rather than terminal text, and never a stopped session.
When genuinely nothing is known the picker says so instead of leaving an
unmarked wall, and stays quiet for an endpoint that merely failed to answer.
Round-four review smaller items: api-reference now states the opposite-of-apiKey behaviour for an omitted defaultContextLength, and the wiki sentence follows the code, modelContextLengths[id] ?? defaultContextLength: any stored figure beats the default.
Second review round on PR #755: skip non-absolute DSH_HOME candidates so a relative home can never mkdir under the server cwd; probe a session-supplied home with probePathKind in both async routes before the synchronous apply; test the session env-override lookup (seventh arg) incl. the self-link fall-through and the relative-home skip; reject '.' and '..' as realHomeFallback and enforce linkFromRealHomeDirs subset in the schema; fix the stale apply JSDoc and the two doc lines lagging the verified dsh run; state the shared/isolated split plainly.
- linkFromRealHomeDirs marks directory entries: missing dirs are created (0700) instead of leaving a dangling link that failed every prompt with ENOENT; missing file targets are skipped
- _restoreCustomModel rebuilds the bookkeeping from the CURRENT recipe (configDir + env-key union) so a selection saved under the old env recipe can still be cleared after upgrade; drop the dead session-home recovery lookup
- deepseek's patch now references CODEMAN_CUSTOM_MODEL_API_KEY, so an in-session /model switch back to the official route cannot carry the custom key to api.deepseek.com (privilegedEnvKeys updated)
- schema: realHomeFallback must be one relative segment; linkFromRealHome requires it and must not collide with fileName
- docs: maintainer-verified real-dsh run replaces the outstanding-verification wording; shares-vs-isolates note; plan table row refreshed
- linkFromRealHome/realHomeFallback on the configDir recipe; the apply consumer is generic and names no CLI
- lstat guard so boot-recovery re-applies survive a dangling link; symlink is best-effort
- resolve the real home from the session's own dirEnvVar override before the server's, threaded through both routes and boot recovery (Session.envOverrideValue)
- deepseek links profiles/sessions/settings.yaml; boot-recovery test covers the session lookup
- share one context-length resolution (discovered figure, endpoint default fallback) across the routes and boot recovery, with a recovery test
- record listed per-slot context figures with a slot count of 1 and force the slot-count fallback once per rediscovery
- open up the codex model launch token for qwen3-style ids (model-plain-colon), pinned by a spawn-golden case
- pass the full discovered window to opencode as limit.context
- translate the picker search strings and document the discovery precedence
The wrapped header strip fell back to the plain wrap whenever its first
tab was wider than the room beside the toolbar. A selected tab is wider
(its gear and close show), so selecting the first tab flipped the whole
strip back: the toolbar took its own column again and, with long names,
every tab took a line of its own. Selecting any other tab brought the
full-width rows back.
The first tab is now trimmed to the room instead (tab-corner-fit, a
max-width from --tab-corner-first-max, its name ellipsized). Only a
toolbar that leaves less than TAB_CORNER_MIN_FIRST_TAB (120px) beside
it keeps the plain wrap, which does not depend on the selection.
Two measuring details make the trim hold:
- the room comes from the rounded-up float width, less the tab's 2px
margin and a pixel for subpixel layout (a tab at the exact width still
wrapped under the float);
- the first tab is measured with its trim cleared and its gear/close
width transitions finished, or a grown room reads the last trim as the
width and a selection change is judged by the width the tab is leaving.

A folder made in a cases directory is already a case (no scaffold), which Link
Existing then refuses by name and which deleting would take the linked folder
with. The route refuses a cases directory as the parent (the shared one and the
caller's own), a leading tilde in the name, and maps a vanished parent to 404.
Docs now say every name it accepts is one Link Existing accepts, and the wiki
describes the button.
The name rule now matches safePathSchema (letters, digits, space and _ - . ~,
no .., no leading dot, at most 255 bytes) so every folder it makes can be
linked. A file as the parent is a 400, errno text is no longer returned,
showHidden is forwarded like browse, and Create is disabled while the request
runs. Adds multi-user scoping tests.
A direct clone whose git-slot wait timed out came back with no spawnError, so
the cleanup emptied a folder git never touched. GitRun now says whether git
started and the cleanup requires it. Cloning into a folder at or inside a
Docker case workspace is refused, as git status, fetch and worktrees do, since
git would run the new repository's hooks and filters on the host.
The picker could only choose an existing folder. POST /api/filesystem/mkdir
creates one folder inside a folder the picker may browse (same roots,
ownership and blocked-tree rules as browse), and PathPicker gains an opt-in
allowNewFolder that adds a New folder button and selects the result.
A direct clone into an empty folder emptied the folder after any failure, which
deleted a concurrent attempt's finished clone when git had written nothing.
Clones into one folder are now mutually exclusive in-process, the cleanup is
skipped when git refused the folder, never ran, or the mount is unresponsive,
and a name linked while the clone ran is a 409 that keeps the folder.
Documents path for POST /api/cases/clone.
The custom folder was treated as a parent, so the repository landed in <folder>/<case name>. The chosen folder is now the clone destination: an empty existing folder is cloned into directly (CloneOptions.intoEmptyDir, no temporary sibling, never removed on failure), a new folder is created, and a folder with files is refused.
Clone Repo could only clone under ~/codeman-cases. POST /api/cases/clone now takes an optional path (parent folder plus case name) and the Clone tab gets a Clone into a custom folder option with a Browse button, mirroring Create in a custom folder. The path is judged by prepareNewCasePath, the clone is registered as a linked case, the option is admin-only in multi-user mode, and an existing target folder is refused.
