Measured on opencode 1.3.0 in a private tmux socket, with a fake
OpenAI-compatible endpoint streaming the reply a character or two at a
time: the marker was on the screen, but the stripped client stream read
D, spinner, O, spinner, N, ... because opencode redraws its spinner
between the streamed pieces, so wait-output never matched it. sendmark
then waited its whole timeout and answered 2 for a reply that had
finished, with the answer file already written (opencode's write tool
wrote it without asking).
The marker wait now runs in rounds of at most 10 s, and between rounds
the answer file is a way out too: a non-empty regular file whose
checksum held still for one round is read, with matched false. The
marker stays the fast path. The answer-file wait after a marker no
longer spins when the exit wait gets no answer, and treats an ended
wait as the worker gone.
The same run measured the readiness mark: with a fresh home and a
custom provider, the first composer bar came with the composer and a
prompt pasted with its Enter at that moment was submitted, so the docs
say so instead of "not measured". The example keeps its input in a
subfolder, apart from the case's CLAUDE.md.

The codeman skill's preamble learns the model Codeman installs on this Mac:
- local_model asks GET /api/v1/local-model and prints one JSON line: the
installed model, the coding agent that runs it and its endpoint, or the
reason there is none (not a Mac, nothing installed, an unfinished
install, a blocked install, admin only, a server without the routes).
Exit 0 only when a worker can start now or after a runtime start.
- spawn_worker <name> local (and name:local in spawn_workers) starts a
stopped runtime the way the window's Start button does, quick-starts the
installed agent with customModel, and waits for its composer (OpenCode's
bar, the claude path for a claude agent, LOCAL_READY_MARK otherwise). A
confirmation question from quick-start fails the spawn with empty stdout;
nothing is ever confirmed on the person's behalf.
- sendmark <sid> <prompt> drives any agent worker without an end-of-turn
signal: the exactly-once input body, a split marker through wait-output,
then the answer read back from a file the worker wrote in its folder
(regular files only, 256 KB at most), with one exit code per outcome.
The preamble stamp moves to 1.50.0 so every cached copy is rewritten.
The tests run the real preamble against a stubbed server.
