A claude session on its own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR launched on an endpoint with
<isolated>/projects linked to the server's tree. The resume pin looks there, so
apply found no transcript and started a new conversation, and on clear the
endpoint's transcript stayed behind in the server's tree.
The link now goes to <own dir>/projects when the session set one, so the
conversation and what the endpoint run adds stay on the session's own account
across an apply, a clear and a restart. It goes through linkRealHomeEntry(),
which also creates a missing projects folder instead of leaving a dangling
link, in the own dir and in ~/.claude/projects on the default path. A relative
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR of the server gets no link, since joining it would create
projects under the server's working directory.
Rule #516: guardSessionConfigDirHome() now covers configDirVar, so all three
apply sites (route, quick-start, boot recovery) probe the own dir bounded before
the apply touches it, and a dir that does not answer falls back to the server's
tree. Under test, HOME is a temp dir and CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is stripped by
test/setup.ts, which a new test pins.
Measured on a real Codeman server with a fake claude: apply and re-apply resume
under the isolated dir with the transcript landing in the own dir, a clear
resumes on the own dir, the isolated dir goes while the transcript stays, and the
same holds across a server restart. The documented limits come out.

A remote host whose login shell is tcsh came up on 1.48.0, when the local
sh rewrote ${SHELL:-/bin/sh} to the Codeman host's shell. Since #770 the
launch reaches the far end verbatim and runs tcsh itself, and tcsh refuses
-i -l -c, -l -c and -i -l, so every stock launch left a dead pane.
The login flags are now picked on the far end, in the shape of
loginShellArgs(): set -- -i -l, cleared for csh and tcsh, then
exec "${SHELL:-/bin/sh}" "$@". The text is one brace group, so
cd <path> && { ...; } still starts nothing when the cd fails. bsd-csh takes
every flag combination, csh is listed because it is tcsh on macOS and the BSDs.
The version probe keeps its one statement: the login shell parses it, not
/bin/sh, so fish and tcsh refuse it either way, as they did on 1.48.0.
Measured with the real builder on a real sshd in a throwaway Debian container
(tcsh 6.24.07, bsd-csh, fish 3.6, bash) and through a fake sshd with
tcsh 6.24.10, fish, zsh, dash and bash, a real Codeman server on tcsh included.
The tcsh disclosure comes out of the docs and the changeset. They keep the two
limits 1.48.0 had too: tcsh has no export, so the PATH bootstrap only prints an
error, and the tmux probe needs a command executable, which Debian lacks.

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 wiki gains right-to-left notes for Last Response, the phone's Compose
editor and the rendered Markdown view, plus a Troubleshooting entry for the

candidatesFrom had moved outside the try when the transports moved to
runForeignProbe, so a classifier failure would have reached the route as a 500.
The module promises it never throws, so the guard is back for local and docker.
Docs:
- The api reference said `blocked` waits are always refused, and listed Ralph as
refused while two of its file routes were not (they are now).
- The invariants doc and CLAUDE.md gain the rules this review turned up: target
syntax in names, the ping before list-panes, nothing typed into an adopted pane,
quoteAdoptLaunch.
- CLAUDE.md no longer says every claude session gets hooks or a stop wait.
- ForeignTmuxSession's mode and workingDir describe the first listed pane, not
the active one.
- The wiki had no page on adoption: The Dashboard gains an Opened outside Codeman
section, and the remote and docker pages point at it. docs/docker-cases.md now
separates an adopted container from an adopted tmux session.

The picker is now reached from every Add Case Browse button, so three lines
in the manual and the opening of the CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants
paragraphs read wrong. A Browse fills its form field, only the Path key types
into a prompt, and Docker's Container Workdir picker lists the inside of the
container through POST /api/docker-cases/browse: it always shows dot entries
and the host allowlist does not apply to it.

The round-robin walk capped what it listed, not what it read: every queued
folder was read whole, sorted and held until drained, so one GET could pull
millions of entries (100 folders of 50,000 files killed a 400 MB heap). A read
now keeps only the entries the listing can use, and MAX_WALK_ENTRIES_READ stops
opening folders at 250,000 entries, leaving the rest queued and flagged.
A folder also spent its whole share on its own files, leaving nothing for the
subfolders it had just found, alone in its round or beside a sibling, so search
hits inside them were lost. Its files now count as one more share beside those
subfolders. Math.max(directoriesInRound, 2) would have fixed only the sole-folder
case and cut a wide root's folder list short.
Folders below the walk root are probed before their readdir (#516), since the
walk reaches folders the depth-first one never did.
Filtering at the read also clears the false flag on a folder whose only unread
entries were hidden or excluded, and an exactly-full workspace now finishes.

"Nothing is copied to the Codeman host" stopped being true when the Edit

on Working With Files and in remote-sessions.md.

With the folder field empty, Create New's Browse opens in the cases folder, and New
folder there answered "Use Add Case > New Case". There is no tab of that name (the
label is Create New), and a Create New user is already on it. The refusal now reads
right from Link Existing and from Create New's custom folder. Its test pin, the code
comment, the manual, api-reference, CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants move with it.
The block() helper in the New folder picker test returned an empty string for a name
that is not in session-ui.js, so .not.toContain passed and a renamed picker dropped out
of the check. It now asserts the name was found.
The manual's path picker list said two places and left out Create New, which the New
folder paragraph names. It now lists every Browse that opens the picker, and that
paragraph is rewrapped to the page's width.

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.

Applies the review of #766.
The live lookup ran tmux on the bare PATH of the ssh command. On a host
where tmux sits in ~/.local/bin or /opt/homebrew/bin it found no pane, the
2>/dev/null hid that, and the panel stayed on the launch conversation after
a /clear. It now goes through withRemoteTmuxPath(), inside the sh script and
scoped to the $(...), so the other tools keep the PATH they had. The fake
tmux of the test block moved to $HOME/.local/bin for the same reason: that
directory is first on the new PATH, so a real tmux is never asked.
The two ssh commands get exec. Node signals the local sh -c, and dash stays
the parent of a plain command, so ssh survived the timeout. A test with a
fake ssh shows the process dies now and survives without exec.
The comment at the meta budget claimed a meta past it comes with a later
read. A meta comes only with a subagent's first read, so it is never sent.
Docs: the store is named as the exception to "never copied to local disk",
remoteProbePaths and the remote transcript lookup are described, and the
line saying a remote session loads no store is gone.

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

launch-defaults comments now name networkAccess.

A tcsh login shell worked on 1.48.0 only because the local sh rewrote
${SHELL:-/bin/sh} to this host's shell. With the launch verbatim, tcsh gets -i -l,
refuses it and every stock launch leaves a dead pane. The changeset and
docs/remote-sessions.md described that as a standing limitation; they now name it
as a change in this release, with what the override workaround costs.
Also: extraSshOptions joins the list of values now literal at launch, the stock pane
command is shown as /bin/sh -c in the docs and the builder's JSDoc, the invariants
state how the launch must reach the far end, the manual pages cover $ in an override,
and the invariants no longer say extraSshOptions refuses a bare $ (it never did).
Reworded the em-dashes on the invariants line this rewrites.

Records the limit on a session with its own CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, which does not
carry its conversation across an endpoint because the isolated projects link
goes to the server's tree. Also records that an own home set before a restart
with no selection is lost on clear, that only an absolute path is persisted,
and tells the user manual what a clear gives back.

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.

The security wording claimed a folder strictly below workingDir was the whole
argument, which the symlink fix showed was only the lookup's half. The rest is
docs that were missing: liveWorktree, root=live and worktree in the API
reference, the mechanism section the CLAUDE.md paragraph had no pointer to, what
a root=live query matches against, and the limits a reader meets in the wiki
(the Git panel stays on the session's folder, a session started below the
repository's top is not followed, a page under .claude/worktrees opens as
source).

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.

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).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The edit history panel now covers remote claude sessions. The sync stays
path-based; its deps get the session and server.ts routes them to the local
reader or to two new ssh reads in remote-files.ts:
- remoteLocateClaudeTranscript: one round trip; the conversation the remote
pane's claude writes now (~/.claude/sessions/<pid>.json via the pane's
process tree, since remote hosts send no hooks), else claudeSessionId,
else the session id, newest $HOME/.claude/projects/*/<id>.jsonl.
- remoteReadClaudeEditSources: one round trip per read pass, with the local
reader's semantics (offset clamp, block end at offset+len, new files read
their tail, shared main-first budget, onlyRequested, 8 KiB meta cap).
So /clear catch-up, "Load older", cursors and the store LRU work remotely
unchanged. Reads use buildRemoteFileCommand + runWithRemoteSshLimit only:
a sleeping host is a connect timeout -> unavailable, stored entries kept.
Tests: both scripts run on a real sh against a temp HOME; the read is
compared byte for byte with readClaudeEditSources on 60 seeded random
transcripts. A transitive import guard pins that the edit-history read path
reaches neither remote-wake.ts nor session-routes.ts. Browser: a remote
session lists images without thumbnails, a click previews. Docs updated.

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.

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
