The wiki said .codeman-uploads/ is the one path "a local agent, a container
and a remote host all see the same way", two sentences after saying uploads
are refused for remote (SSH) sessions. Only a local agent and a Docker case
(workspace bind-mounted at the same absolute path) share it, which is why the
route refuses remote sessions; say that.
The same paragraph said every image goes in after a re-encode on the device,
but _normalizeImageForUpload passes a GIF through untouched to keep its
frames.
CLAUDE.md and a test comment described the image fallback as behaving
"as before 1.36", a release that never existed (1.35.0 was followed by
1.40.0). It means the image path as it was before this change.
