chore: version packages

#386 made Codex conversations resumable from Past Sessions, and
resumeMobileOverviewSession() correctly passes row.resumeId on to
resumeHistorySession(). The phone's own row projection never copied the
field off the unified-list item though, so row.resumeId was always
undefined there and a tapped Codex row started a FRESH session on a thread
that was already on disk. The desktop path worked; only the phone was blind.

The test fails without the projection line, and pins the other half too: a
claude row must not grow a resumeId, since the field is what distinguishes
"resume this conversation" from "start a new one".

Docs: CLAUDE.md and architecture-invariants both still described the unified
list as merging Claude transcript files. It has been three stores since this
PR (Claude's ~/.claude/projects, omp's ~/.omp/agent/sessions, codex's
~/.codex/sessions), the alias field keeps its Claude-era name without being
Claude-only, and the scanner-only rule behind resumeId was written down
nowhere.

+- Codex sessions no longer report idle for their entire life, and Codex conversations now appear in Past Sessions and can be resumed.
+
+  **Per-CLI work detection (#385, irisitymichaelgrundberg).** The composer glyph and the working status line are now registry data (`capabilities.workDetect`) rather than Claude constants. Claude keeps its exact current pair, Codex declares `›` plus its `esc to interrupt` footer, and any CLI that declares neither falls back to Claude's, which is what every session used before. Work detection had been gated Claude-mode-only on the reasoning that an external CLI has no `❯`, which was true and still left every Codex session reporting `idle` from the moment it started. `workingLine` is config-supplied and its compiled pattern runs on the PTY hot path, so it goes through `compileVersionRegex()` in both the schema refine and the runtime compile: a nested quantifier there would backtrack on the event loop for the whole server. The Codex footer is matched case-insensitively on the E, so a future version capitalising it cannot make the fix silently inert.
+
+  **Codex conversations in Past Sessions (#386, irisitymichaelgrundberg).** A bounded scanner reads codex's `~/.codex/sessions` rollout store, so the unified session list now merges three transcript stores rather than one (Claude's `~/.claude/projects`, omp's `~/.omp/agent/sessions`, codex's `~/.codex/sessions`). A scanned row carries a `resumeId`, the rollout's own thread id, which lets it resume through `codexConfig.resumeSessionId`; a live session never carries one, so a row without it stays a genuinely fresh session. Live and resumed Codex sessions fold into their rollout row through the existing alias map, including a `session_meta.originator` match for fresh panes, so a conversation never shows up twice. The phone overview carries `resumeId` through its own row projection, without which a tapped Codex past row started a fresh session on a thread already on disk.

-⚠️ **A `❯` sighting is NOT the end of a turn, and neither is silence.** Claude redraws the composer (`❯`) about once a second all through a turn, so the old "saw a ❯, wait 2s → idle" rule flipped every working session to idle two seconds in (measured: a session mid-tool-call at 17 minutes reporting `status:"idle"`). Its working indicator is `✻ Actualizing… (13m 23s · ↓ 47.5k tokens)`: the glyph animates through `· ✢ ✳ ∗ ✻ ✽`, the gerund is randomized, and the finished line (`✻ Cooked for 2m 49s`) carries the same glyph, so neither `SPINNER_PATTERN` (braille, not what current versions draw) nor a keyword list can see it. Matching the new line in the STREAM does not work either: tmux ships partial repaints, so the whole line reaches the PTY only every few tens of seconds. So: `_confirmIdle()` (session.ts) requires the pane to go quiet, and then asks the SCREEN via `capturePaneText()` + `CLAUDE_WORKING_LINE_PATTERN` before believing it; a sustained run of repaints (`session-activity.ts`, pure + unit tested) is what marks a turn as started, with the same screen probe vetoing keystroke echo. Idle now lands ~3-5s after a turn ends instead of 2s into one. Claude-mode only, since an external CLI has no `❯`, so nothing would ever arm the confirmation and the session would latch busy.

Before that, this whole mechanism was gated Claude-mode-only on the reasoning that an external CLI has no `❯`, which was true and still left every Codex session reporting `idle` for its entire life. ⚠️ `workingLine` is config-supplied (a user `clis.json` can set it) and the compiled pattern runs on the PTY hot path, so it goes through `compileVersionRegex()` in BOTH the schema refine and `_workingLinePattern()`: a nested quantifier there is a ReDoS against the event loop, and the helper returns null rather than throwing so the fallback is structural.
 
 **Workspace-trust dialog auto-accept** (`session-trust-dialog.ts`, pure + unit tested): Claude Code asks once per directory ("Is this a project you created or one you trust?") before it will read or edit anything, and since Codeman sessions run permission-skipping or classifier-guarded modes the answer is always yes, so a session parked on that dialog is simply stuck. ⚠️ **Match the compacted SCREEN, never the stream.** tmux repaints a row by writing each word and then a cursor-forward (`\x1b[C`) instead of a space, and Ink colours each word separately, so the wire carries `I\x1b[Ctrust\x1b[Cthis\x1b[Cfolder`; stripping the escapes leaves `Itrustthisfolder`, because the spaces are not there to strip, they were never sent. A plain `includes('trust this folder')` therefore never matched a single chunk and the auto-accept was silently DEAD for every session that hit the dialog. `compactScreenText()` removes ALL whitespace instead (plus the `ESC ( B` charset selects that `stripAnsi` does not cover, which would otherwise land inside a phrase as a literal `(B`), which survives both that repaint style and the spaced full-screen redraw. ⚠️ **Never answer it with a blind `\r`.** The layout has changed under us at least twice, and Claude Code 2.1.252 dropped the option numbers, put "No, exit" FIRST and highlights IT by default, so the Enter that answered the old dialog now picks *exit* and the pane dies (`Pane is dead (status 1)`) seconds after the session starts. `trustDialogNextKey()` reads the `❯` marker and returns ONE step at a time (an arrow while the cursor is on the wrong option, Enter only once the screen shows it on the trust option), with the pane re-read between steps, so a dropped arrow costs a repaint instead of the session; a frame that does not say which option is highlighted returns null and waits for the next repaint. ⚠️ The LAST marked option in the text wins, because the direct-PTY fallback reads an append-only buffer where every repaint since launch is still present and an older frame must not out-vote the freshest one. ⚠️ Answering types into a live session, so THREE guards must all hold and none is redundant: a **startup-only window** (`TRUST_DIALOG_WINDOW_MS`, 90s, since the dialog renders before the main UI and leaving it open forever would let an agent transcript that merely QUOTES the dialog trigger an Enter, this file being an example), a **two-marker match** requiring a trust phrase AND one of the dialog's own confirm affordances (`isTrustDialogScreen`), and an **attempt cap** (`TRUST_DIALOG_MAX_ATTEMPTS`, 6: a keystroke can land while Ink is still mounting the widget and be dropped, which is the other half of why sessions got stuck here, but retrying forever would hammer keys into whatever came next; it was 3 while one Enter answered the dialog, and answering now costs at least two keystrokes). ⚠️ It reads `capturePaneText()` and falls back to a deliberately SHORT tail of the terminal buffer only on a direct-PTY session, which has no pane: that buffer is append-only, so a longer tail would keep re-matching a dialog answered minutes ago. ⚠️ **The scan must schedule its own next read** (`_trustDialogTimer`, cleared in `_clearAllTimers()`): it runs from the PTY `onData` handler, which was enough while one Enter answered the dialog, but the arrow that moves the cursor is the LAST output the pane produces, so a two-keystroke answer waiting on more output parks forever with the cursor sitting on the right option (measured on a live 2.1.252 spawn: cursor moved at 6 s, then nothing).

 **Docker Compose deployment** (`docker/`, contributed): Codeman itself runs in a container and spawns Docker cases as **SIBLING** containers through the mounted host socket (Docker-outside-of-Docker), never nested. That inverts one assumption the bare-host path takes for granted: the daemon no longer shares Codeman's filesystem, so a bind source valid *inside* Codeman means nothing to it. `resolveDockerDaemonMountSource()` translates sources under HOME into the daemon's namespace via `CODEMAN_DOCKER_HOST_HOME`, and `CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` points the cases dir at a host-absolute bind mount so a workspace resolves to the SAME absolute path on both sides (which is what keeps the transcript projHash matching, per Docker cases above). ⚠️ **`CODEMAN_CASES_PATH` must move every consumer or none**: it is resolved once in `config/cases-dir.ts` because `src/cli.ts` resolves case paths too, and when only the server's `CASES_DIR` learned the override, `codeman skill install --case <name>` reported "Case not found" on exactly the deployment the override exists for. ⚠️ **`.dockerignore` patterns match the WHOLE context-relative path**, so a bare `.env` line excludes only the ROOT file: `docker/.env` (which holds `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` and any provider keys) rode `COPY . .` into the image until `**/.env` was added — verified in both directions with a real build context. ⚠️ A Compose LONG-form bind (`type: bind`) **creates a missing host source directory ROOT-OWNED** rather than refusing, so any bind source the runtime user must write to has to be pre-created and chowned. `CODEMAN_DOCKER_DISABLE_SWAP_LIMIT=1` drops `--memory-swap` (and filters only that one kernel warning) for hosts without swap accounting; `--memory` still applies. ⚠️ The deployment ALSO self-updates in place (the repo bind mount at `/opt/codeman` + a restart-by-exiting supervisor) — see Self-update below and `docs/docker-self-update.md` before touching `server.Dockerfile`, the compose file or `.env.example`, since each is an input to the updater's environment gate. `docs/docker-compose.md` + `docker/README.md` (user guides)
 
-**CLI registry** (`src/config/cli-registry/`): every run mode is a `CliEntry` — discovery (search dirs, version + identity probes), the launch argv template, env handling, the `capabilities` flags that replace per-CLI branching, and the `overlays` that back the remote/docker pane commands. **No code outside `stock.ts` may branch on a CLI id**; behaviour that genuinely differs is either a capability field or a NAMED PROFILE selected by one (`profiles.ts`), and `test/cli-registry-no-id-branching.test.ts` fails the build if an id check reappears — it matches `===`, `!==`, `case '<id>':` and `[...].includes(mode)`, because an earlier `===`-only version let 36 negated branches survive the conversion (including a seven-mode Ralph chain whose own comment asked the next person to keep it in step with `isExternalCliMode()` by hand). ⚠️ Config contains no shell text: an entry declares typed argv tokens, literals are validated against a safe-word pattern at LOAD time (a bad literal rejects the whole entry — a silently dropped `--no-approve` is not cosmetic), and values resolve through patterns NAMED in code, so a user `clis.json` cannot widen its own validation. ⚠️ `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` are three INDEPENDENT capabilities on purpose; deriving one from another shipped the `until=stop`-hangs-on-shell bug. ⚠️ **`param` is TWO namespaces.** `launch.params` keys, `env.configSetenv[].fromParam` and `capabilities.privilegedParams[].param` all name a LAUNCH PARAM; the legacy `<Mode>Config` wire field is a separate namespace, bridged only by `launch.legacyConfigAliases`. Getting `privilegedParams[].param` wrong is SILENT — it is the multi-user bypass clamp's only handle on a CLI's privilege switch, and a wrong name clamps nothing with no load error and no failing test — so `schema.ts` rejects an entry naming a param it never declared. Codex is the entry where the two names differ (`bypassApprovals` vs `dangerouslyBypassApprovals`) and therefore the one that catches a regression. ⚠️ Six fields are DECLARED-FOR-LATER and read by nothing (`shortBadge`, `accent`, `capabilities.echo`/`wheelForward`/`keyboardAccessory`/`maxFrameBytes`): all frontend behaviour, transcribed rather than measured, so re-measure before wiring one up; the list is pinned so it cannot quietly grow. Spawn commands are pinned as literal strings in `test/cli-registry-spawn-golden.test.ts`, remote/docker pane commands in `test/location-overlay-commands.test.ts`. ⚠️ Anything reading the registry resolves it AT CALL TIME (`sessionModeSchema()`, `allowedEnvPrefixes()`, `dependencyRegistry()`, the resolvers' `searchDirs` thunks) — a module-level const freezes at first import, so a CLI enabled while the server ran moved the run menu but not that surface. `~/.codeman/clis.json` overrides any entry (read-only in this release; nothing writes it, so importing the registry has no filesystem side effects). → `docs/cli-registry.md`

The session version worked and was still wrong in use: it put a terminal tab on screen next to the web tab the user actually asked for, every single time, and nothing about a long-lived HTTP server needs to be a tab. ⚠️ What a session gave for free now has to be paid for explicitly, and every piece is load-bearing: **exactly one** server (a second click REUSES it rather than racing it for a port, which two sessions structurally could not do), **restarted when the browser authority changes** (`--trusted-host` fences dsh's `/api` against the browser authority, and a Codeman reachable at both loopback and a tailnet name has two, so whoever asks last wins: the asker is by definition the origin about to load the page), **killed on shutdown** (`stopDeepSeekWeb()` in the server teardown, because the child is detached so its whole plugin tree can be signalled at once, which also means it would OUTLIVE Codeman and hold its port against the next start), and **failures returned to the caller**, since with no tab there is nowhere for a stack trace to land. ⚠️ The port search starts at dsh's own default 3080 and walks 40, never fixed: that default is precisely the port most likely to be taken already by the user's own `dsh web`, and hardcoding it killed this feature with EADDRINUSE once. Free-port detection BINDS rather than connects (a connect probe cannot tell "free" from "listening but not answering yet"), so it is racy by nature and the caller still waits for the server to really answer before reporting success. ⚠️ Both `POST` and `DELETE` sit at the **same privilege bar as the profile installer** (`canUsernameRunPrivilegedCommands`) even though the action reads as "open a page": booting a dsh profile executes the plugin code in it, and the server is a single shared instance, so stopping it in multi-user mode takes it out from under other users' tabs.

 `capabilities` is the important part. It is what `isExternalCliMode()`, `isAltScreenStripMode()`, `hooksAvailableForMode()` and every other former per-mode branch actually read.
 
+### Regexes that come from config
+
+Two capability fields carry a regular expression an override file can set: `discovery.version.regex` and `capabilities.workDetect.workingLine`. Both go through `compileVersionRegex()`, which caps the source at 200 characters, refuses the nested-quantifier shapes that cause catastrophic backtracking, and returns `null` rather than throwing so every caller degrades instead of crashing.
+
+`workingLine` is the one that matters most, because it is compiled once per session and then run against every accumulated PTY chunk and every pane capture. A nested quantifier there is a ReDoS against the event loop for the whole server, not just that session. The guard therefore runs in two places, and neither is redundant: `schema.ts` rejects the entry at LOAD time so a bad pattern never reaches a session, and `_workingLinePattern()` in `session.ts` compiles through the same helper so the runtime cannot end up with a pattern the schema would have refused.
+
 ### Three capabilities that must stay independent
 
 `external`, `hooks` and `altScreen` describe three different, deliberately unequal sets, and deriving any one from another has already shipped a bug. `shell` has no hooks but is **not** an external CLI, so a hooks predicate written as `!isExternalCliMode()` accepted `until=stop` on a shell session and then blocked the caller for their entire timeout. `deepseek` is the mirror image: it IS external and it DOES have hooks.

+ * @fileoverview Scan `~/.codex/sessions/<yyyy>/<mm>/<dd>/rollout-*.jsonl` for Past
+ * Sessions rows, the codex analog of what `scanOmpSessionsHistory()`
+ * (omp-transcript.ts) does for omp and `scanProjectDir()` (session-routes.ts)
+ * does for Claude's own `~/.claude/projects` transcripts.
+ *
+ * Without this a codex conversation is invisible to Codeman the moment its
+ * session record goes away, even though codex itself never forgot it: the
+ * unified list is built from `~/.claude/projects` plus omp's own store, and
+ * codex writes to neither. A user who wanted to pick a codex thread back up had
+ * to find its id by hand and pass `codexConfig.resumeSessionId` to the API.
+ *
+ * ## Why this reads windows rather than whole files
+ *
+ * An omp session file is the conversation only, so its scanner reads each file
+ * whole. A codex rollout is not comparable: it carries every reasoning block and
+ * every tool call, and its `session_meta` line alone embeds the full base
+ * instructions. Measured on a real store of 519 rollouts, the median file is
+ * 407 KiB, the 90th percentile 1.3 MiB and the largest 25 MiB, for 381 MiB in
+ * total. So this reads a head window for the identity and the opening prompt,
+ * and a tail window for the most recent one.
+ *
+ * The head budget is 128 KiB because `session_meta` runs to roughly 19 KiB and
+ * the first real user message lands near 69 KiB behind it, both measured on
+ * codex 0.152.1.
+ *
+ * ## Where the prompt text comes from
+ *
+ * Codex has emitted user input under three shapes, and this reads all of them,
+ * preferring the ones that carry real input only:
+ *
+ *  - `event_msg` / `item_completed` with an `item.type` of `UserMessage`, which
+ *    is what codex 0.152.1 writes.
+ *  - `event_msg` / `user_message`, which older versions wrote.
+ *  - `response_item` rows with `role: 'user'`, the last resort. These mix real
+ *    input with injected context (AGENTS.md, environment context, compaction
+ *    summaries), so they are read only when neither shape above appears, and
+ *    the obvious injections are dropped.

+ * alias back to the Codeman id and the duplicate came back. The existing comment
+ * at the third reset point already warned that omitting omp's fallback there
+ * "stomps the mux branch's correctly-resolved OMP alias"; codex needed the same.
+ *
