`GET /api/approvals` re-reads the pane of every pending dialog and resolves
one whose frame shows no dialog, either because its options vanished or
because the frame shows a turn running. `notePrompt` deliberately waits 3 s
before making that same judgement, since the Notification hook can land
before Ink paints the dialog and the working line is still on screen then.
The list did not wait. That rarely mattered while it ran once per page load,
but a client that polls it would resolve a live prompt as answered in the
terminal, clearing the red alert on every device and the push Approve button
with it. `sweepForList` skips a dialog younger than the delay.

A codex dialog the session now reads off its screen gets exactly what a
Claude `permission_prompt` hook gets, so every surface that already handles
that event needs no second path: `web/screen-blocked.ts` turns the session's
`blockedChanged` edge into the `blocked` wait signal, an Approvals Inbox
item, the `hook:permission_prompt` broadcast (with `source: 'screen'`), web
push and webhooks, and a run-summary row. That lights the red "needs you"
tab alert and desktop notification, the phone overview's NEEDS YOU row and
the TUI. When the dialog leaves the screen the item it opened is resolved,
and `approval:resolved` clears every client.
It is an ALERT and never a keystroke, following #610's shape for DeepSeek:
the item is `answerInTerminal`, push carries no `approvalId` (so no
Approve/Deny), and the answer route refuses it. The dialog was read from a
screen the agent writes most of, so a forged match must cost a false alert
and nothing more. The message every surface shows is built from the CLI's
registry label, never from the dialog's text. The item gets no `capture`
callback, only its frame as context, because the inbox's option parser and
staleness sweep are shaped for Claude's dialogs and the session owns this
item's lifetime. A CLI whose hooks report blocked gets nothing from the
screen, so declaring both could never alert twice.
The answer route now checks `answerInTerminal` BEFORE its hooks gate and
names the CLI: a codex session has no hooks, and "Session mode cannot have
pending approvals" would be false about the item the caller holds.
Wait signals: `blocked` is available where hooks report it OR a CLI declares
`blockedLine` (`blockedSignalAvailable()`); `stop` stays hooks-only, since
nothing on a screen says a turn ended, so `until=stop` on codex is still a
400 (now suggesting `idle, blocked or exit`). A screen-read dialog is a
level the server keeps reading, so a `GET .../wait` that asks for `blocked`
while one is up answers at once; a caller that asked for `idle` alone keeps
getting `idle`. The MCP and `codeman agent` help text say so.

Supervised-hook CLIs (DeepSeek Harness) raise Approvals Inbox items whose
answer route refuses keystrokes, but push notifications and the mobile/desktop
UI still offered Approve/Deny. Mark those items answerInTerminal, omit
approvalId (and therefore push actions) for supervised hooks, and show
"Answer in the terminal" / Open session instead of broken buttons.
Fixes#598 (functional part; docs gaps left for a follow-up).
The badge alone left the row in NEEDS YOU, which is the thing the issue was
about. The fix is the alert that does not fire.
An idle prompt from a session that is watching its own background work now
opens ALREADY acknowledged. `hook-event-routes` passes `Session.watching` to
`notePrompt()`, which sets `acknowledgedAt` and records why in a new
`acknowledgedReason`. Nothing new suppresses anything: `acknowledge()` has
always meant "the alert this prompt armed is spent", and the prompt itself
stays pending, answerable and available as Read My Mind context. A wrong label
therefore costs a card that does not blink, never an alert that was never
created.
Every surface follows from that. The broadcast carries the reason, so a live
page declines to arm the tab alert and raises no desktop notification. The push
is skipped, since a false alarm is hardest to ignore on a phone. A reloading
page reads `acknowledgedAt` in `seedApprovals()`, which it already did. And
`classifySession()` now reads it too, which is a pre-existing bug fixed here:
acknowledging on one device cleared the alert everywhere except `codeman tui`.
It re-arms for free, because the next idle prompt supersedes the item and is
built fresh. Only `idle` is eligible, so a dialog that blocks the agent still
goes red whatever else it started.
The label is pane-derived and therefore prompt-injectable, so it is now read
from the last two rows of the screen only, with Claude's pattern anchored on
the `·` its footer joins items with, ANSI-stripped and length-capped at the
source. An agent that prints `· 1 monitor ·` into its own output finds no
match.
Verified on an isolated beta: a session that armed a monitor took its idle
prompt acknowledged with no alert on any surface, wore the badge, and showed
"quiet, watching 1 monitor" on its still-answerable card; the same session with
the monitor killed alerted normally on the next prompt. `test/watching-no-alert.test.ts`
pins both directions across all four surfaces.

Red tab alerts track the dialog, not the keyboard: typing no longer clears them, and a dialog answered in the terminal resolves itself on the next listing.

Persist the 'I checked it' state of yellow idle tab alerts across reloads and devices.

Owner decision: every Approvals Inbox UI surface (header bell, drawer,
phone overview answer strips, reload seeding) now requires enabling
approvalsInboxEnabled in App Settings -> Panels; only an explicit true
turns it on. The store, endpoints, and push Approve/Deny actions keep
running regardless (the push buttons are already opt-in per subscription).
Also replaces em-dashes with plain punctuation across the newly authored
comments, docs, and strings.

Permission dialogs, AskUserQuestion questions and idle prompts from every
session now land in a server-side inbox (web/approval-inbox.ts, one item per
session, claude-mode only) and are answerable in place: a header bell + drawer
on desktop, inline answer strips on the phone overview's NEEDS YOU rows, and
working push Approve/Deny buttons (previously dead ends, now answered straight
from sw.js with no tab open). Pending alerts survive reloads because the
frontend seeds from GET /api/approvals on init.
Answering sends the digit / Esc / prompt text through the existing tmux input
path; option digits are accepted only when they match options parsed from the
captured pane frame, and the answer path re-captures the pane first so a
dialog that already left the screen refuses with 409 instead of typing into
the composer. New elicitation_complete / elicitation_response hook matchers
resolve question items the moment they are answered in the terminal;
refreshStaleCodemanHooks heals existing cases.
Verified end-to-end against a live claude session: a real AskUserQuestion
dialog parsed into 5 option buttons and was answered from the drawer.
