 - **Effort is NOT an env var** — never carry effort as `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL`: the env var hard-locks effort and blocks in-session `/effort` switching (incl. ultracode). It flows as the dedicated `effort` payload field → `Session._effort` → `claude --effort <level>` for regular levels incl. `max` (the settings `effortLevel` key is `enum(["low","medium","high","xhigh"]).catch(undefined)` — `max` gets SILENTLY dropped there), or `claude --settings '{"ultracode":true}'` for ultracode (rejected by `--effort`). Both are soft defaults the user can override anytime. Legacy env-var entries are auto-migrated by the Session constructor and unset from tmux sessions in `applyEnvOverrides()`. See `buildEffortCliArgs()` in `session-cli-builder.ts`, tests in `test/effort-injection.test.ts`
 - **Dual-CLI prefix discipline** — Codeman supports both Claude Code and OpenCode (`claude-cli-resolver.ts` / `opencode-cli-resolver.ts`); env-var prefix is CLI-specific (`CLAUDE_CODE_*` vs `OPENCODE_*`) and the allowlist in `schemas.ts` enforces this. When adding settings, decide which CLI(s) it applies to and gate the env export accordingly — don't blindly forward both prefixes. See `docs/opencode-integration.md` for the OpenCode resolver design
 - **Zod `.optional()` rejects `null`** — accepts `undefined` only. When the frontend builds a request body with `JSON.stringify`, an explicit `null` field is preserved on the wire and fails validation with `INVALID_INPUT`. Convert `null` → `undefined` before stringifying (e.g. `field: value ?? undefined`), or declare the schema `.nullish()`. Real bugs caused: 0.6.4 (`durationMinutes` for ∞ respawn), and the same shape pattern hit `opusContext1mEnabled` in 0.6.3
-- **`xterm-zerolag-input` is duplicated** — the local-echo overlay lives in BOTH `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` (published to npm as a standalone library for external consumers — see README "Published Packages") AND inline inside `src/web/public/app.js` (runtime copy the web UI actually loads, since the page ships as plain JS without a bundler). Any change to overlay behavior MUST be applied to both, or dev and prod diverge — and a public API break in the package warrants a separate version bump for `xterm-zerolag-input` in the changeset. Always test on mobile after touching it. See `docs/local-echo-overlay-plan.md`.
+- **`xterm-zerolag-input` is single-source — edit the package, then rebuild the bundle** — the local-echo overlay source lives ONLY in `packages/xterm-zerolag-input/src/` (`zerolag-input-addon.ts`; also published to npm as a standalone library — see README "Published Packages"). It is bundled (esbuild → IIFE, with appended `window.LocalEchoOverlay` aliases) into the **gitignored** `src/web/public/vendor/xterm-zerolag-input.js` by `scripts/postinstall.js` (for dev/`tsx`) and into `dist/.../vendor/` by `scripts/build.mjs:50` (for prod). `app.js` only **consumes** it via `new LocalEchoOverlay(terminal)` — there is NO inline copy to keep in sync. So: change behavior in the package source, then re-run the bundle step (`npm install` reruns postinstall; `npm run build` for prod); **never hand-edit `app.js` for overlay behavior or commit the gitignored vendor bundle**. A public-API break in the package still warrants a separate `xterm-zerolag-input` version bump in the changeset. Always test on mobile after touching it. See `docs/local-echo-overlay-plan.md`.
 - **Default bind is loopback-only; non-loopback without a password starts but warns** — since COD-29 (PR #107) the web server defaults to `--host 127.0.0.1` (was `0.0.0.0`). As of **0.9.0** binding a non-loopback host (`--host`/`-H`/`CODEMAN_HOST`) without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` **no longer refuses to start — it starts and prints a loud warning** listing the fixes (set `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`, bind loopback + tunnel/`tailscale serve`, or `--allow-unauthenticated-network` / `CODEMAN_ALLOW_UNAUTHENTICATED_NETWORK=1` to acknowledge → terser note). Host classification is `isLoopbackBindHost()` in `network-auth-policy.ts`; the warn-vs-start logic is in `server.ts` `start()`; flags wired in `cli.ts`. ⚠️ Operational note: the production systemd unit runs `node dist/index.js web --https` with no `--host`, so it binds **localhost only** — reach it remotely via `tailscale serve`/tunnel to `127.0.0.1`, or add `Environment=CODEMAN_HOST=0.0.0.0` + `Environment=CODEMAN_PASSWORD=…` to `~/.config/systemd/user/codeman-web.service`. A loopback bind is reachable through a same-host tunnel (cloudflared/tailscale → `127.0.0.1`) but NOT by a browser hitting the box's LAN IP. Auth user defaults to `admin`. **Full model: `docs/security-architecture.md`.**
 - **Instance isolation / multi-instance attach danger** — data dir (`~/.codeman`) and tmux socket (`tmux -L codeman`) are PROCESS-WIDE and shared by every Codeman on the machine, derived from `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` via `src/config/instance.ts` (`getDataDir()`/`dataPath()`/`DEFAULT_TMUX_SOCKET`). ⚠️ A 2nd instance on the SAME socket **discovers and attaches PTYs to the first instance's live sessions** (`tmux -L codeman attach-session …`), resizing/mutating them — `$HOME` isolation is NOT enough (tmux is system-global). To run two instances, give each a distinct `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` (scopes BOTH dir+socket: `~/.codeman-<name>` + `-L codeman-<name>`), or set `CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET` + `CODEMAN_DATA_DIR` individually. **`CODEMAN_INSTANCE` defaults to empty = the production layout (`~/.codeman`, `-L codeman`, port 3000)**, so this branch is safe to ship to master without disturbing existing installs. To run THIS beta alongside prod, launch with `scripts/run-beta.sh` (`CODEMAN_INSTANCE=beta` + `CODEMAN_PORT=5000`) — it never collides with prod's data dir/socket/port. Any new `~/.codeman/...` path MUST go through `dataPath()`, never `join(homedir(), '.codeman', …)`.

+
+> Maintainer note: enable *Settings → Code security and analysis → Private
+> vulnerability reporting* so this channel is live.
+
+When reporting, please include: affected version/commit, the deployment shape
+(loopback-only, `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` set, tunnel/`tailscale serve`, custom
+reverse proxy), reproduction steps, and impact. We aim to acknowledge within a
+few days. Coordinated disclosure is appreciated — we'll agree a disclosure
+timeline with you once impact is confirmed.
+
+### In scope
+- Authentication / session-cookie bypass when `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` is set
+- DNS-rebinding, CSRF/CSWSH, or Origin/Host-guard bypass reaching state-changing routes
+- Remote code execution reachable **without** local OS access (e.g. via a browser, a tunnel, or a foreign origin)
+- Path traversal / arbitrary file read or write through the HTTP API
+- Supply-chain integrity of the in-app self-updater
+
+### Out of scope (by design — see Known limitations)
+- Anything requiring an already-trusted **same-machine, same-uid** process. Codeman trusts the local OS user it runs as; a peer process of that user is already inside the boundary.
+- Running an authless instance bound to a non-loopback host after dismissing the startup warning (you explicitly acknowledged it).
+- The default loopback + no-password posture itself (it is reachable only from the same machine).
+
+## Trust model (summary)
+
+- **Loopback by default.** Binds `127.0.0.1`; the no-password default is safe out of the box. Binding a non-loopback host without `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` *starts but prints a loud warning* with concrete fixes.
+- **Always-on Host + Origin guards.** Block DNS-rebinding and cross-site state-changing requests even on the no-auth loopback install (a missing Origin is allowed so CLI/hooks work).
+- **Optional auth.** HTTP Basic via `CODEMAN_USERNAME`/`CODEMAN_PASSWORD`; success issues an opaque server-side 256-bit cookie. Per-IP rate limiting on failures.
+- **Hardened file serving, tmux launch, transport headers, and multi-instance isolation** — see the full architecture doc.
+
+## Known limitations and accepted risk
+
+A 1.0 release is an implicit statement that the documented model *is* the model, so
+these residuals are stated explicitly. Most sit **inside the same-uid OS trust
+boundary** or behind the always-on Origin guard; they matter mainly for
+shared-host, multi-user, or tunneled deployments.
+
+- **Self-update trusts an unsigned release tag.** The in-app updater does `git checkout <tag> && npm install` (lifecycle scripts run) of a tag matched only by name shape, from whatever `origin` points to — no signature/commit verification. Treat the updater as trusting your `origin` remote and your release pipeline. (Hardening tracked for 1.0.)
+- **CSP ships `'unsafe-inline'`.** Inline handlers mean the Content-Security-Policy is defense-in-depth only; all AI-/file-derived sinks are escaped, but a future missed escape would be executable.
+- **`workingDir` is unconstrained.** A session may be created with any absolute working directory (e.g. `/`), which becomes the file-route boundary for that session. Scope it to trusted paths on shared hosts.
+- **Hook-event auth exemption is loopback-IP-based.** `POST /api/hook-event` is exempt from auth for loopback callers; because tunnels (cloudflared / `tailscale serve`) terminate at `127.0.0.1`, a loopback-terminating tunnel inherits the exemption. Set `CODEMAN_PASSWORD` and prefer a tunnel that preserves the client identity if this matters.
+- **Session cookie is not bound to client IP/UA on reuse, and refreshes without an absolute cap.** A stolen cookie replays until its idle TTL elapses.
+- **Multi-instance tmux socket is process-wide.** Two Codeman instances on the same `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` share a tmux socket and can attach each other's live sessions — isolate with distinct `CODEMAN_INSTANCE` values.
+- **The live log-tail route reads `/var/log` and `~/logs`** in addition to the session working directory (read-only) — a deliberate choice for tailing system/app logs. On a password-protected remote deployment an authenticated user can therefore read those roots outside their session. See `docs/security-architecture.md` §5.
+
+Recent hardening (this release): web-push subscription endpoints are restricted
+to https public hosts (SSRF guard — rejects internal/metadata IPs, validated at
+subscribe and send time), and tmux session names discovered on the shared socket
+are validated against the safe-name pattern before reaching any shell call site.
+
+For the detailed rationale, defenses, and recommended secure setups, see
+[`docs/security-architecture.md`](docs/security-architecture.md).

+# HTTP API Reference
+
+Codeman's HTTP API is a **stable contract** as of 1.0 — see
+[`versioning-policy.md`](versioning-policy.md) for the SemVer guarantee. This page
+defines the response envelope, status codes, error codes, versioning, and the SSE
+event channel.
+
+## Versioning
+
+- The stable, public surface is served under **`/api/v1/...`**. Pin external
+  clients to this prefix.
+- The unversioned **`/api/...`** paths are a permanent alias of the current
+  version (what the bundled web UI uses). They are kept working, but new external
+  integrations should use `/api/v1`.
+- Breaking changes to the contract ship under a new prefix (`/api/v2`); `/api/v1`
+  keeps its semantics. Additive changes (new endpoints, new optional fields, new
+  error codes) are non-breaking and may appear in a minor release.
+- The implementation rewrites `/api/v1/*` → `/api/*` at the server level
+  (`rewriteApiV1Url` in `src/web/server.ts`).
+
+## Response envelope
+
+Every JSON response uses one uniform envelope, applied centrally by a
+`preSerialization` hook (`src/web/server.ts`) — handlers return bare data and the
+hook wraps it:
+
+**Success** — HTTP `2xx`:
+
+```json
+{ "success": true, "data": <payload> }
+```
+
+`data` is the endpoint's payload (object, array, or value). Endpoints with no
+payload return `{ "success": true, "data": {} }`.
+
+**Error** — HTTP `4xx`/`5xx`:
+
+```json
+{ "success": false, "error": "human-readable message", "errorCode": "NOT_FOUND" }
+```
+
+`ApiResponse<T>` in `src/types/api.ts` is the canonical type.
+
+> Non-JSON endpoints are exempt from the envelope: `GET /api/sessions/:id/file-raw`,
+> `GET /api/sessions/:id/tail-file` (SSE), `GET /api/download`,
+> `GET /api/screenshots/:name`, `GET /q/:code` (QR redirect), and the
+> `GET /ws/sessions/:id/terminal` WebSocket upgrade.
+
+## Error codes → HTTP status
+
+The single source of truth is `ErrorStatus` / `httpStatusForErrorCode()` in
+`src/types/api.ts`. Clients should branch on `errorCode` (stable) and may rely on
+the HTTP status.
+
+| `errorCode` | HTTP | Meaning |
+|-------------|------|---------|
+| `INVALID_INPUT` | 400 | Malformed request / failed validation |
+| `UNAUTHORIZED` | 401 | Authentication required or failed |
+| `NOT_FOUND` | 404 | Resource does not exist |
+| `SESSION_BUSY` | 409 | Session is busy |
+| `CONFLICT` | 409 | Conflicts with current state (e.g. already running) |
+| `ALREADY_EXISTS` | 409 | Resource already exists |
+| `OPERATION_FAILED` | 422 | Well-formed but could not be completed |
+| `RATE_LIMITED` | 429 | Too many requests |
+| `INTERNAL_ERROR` | 500 | Unexpected server error |
+
+Adding a new error code is non-breaking; removing or renaming one is a major change.
+
+## Authentication
+
+Optional HTTP Basic (`CODEMAN_USERNAME`/`CODEMAN_PASSWORD`) → opaque
+`codeman_session` cookie. When enabled, unauthenticated requests get
+`401 UNAUTHORIZED`; rate-limited requests get `429 RATE_LIMITED`. See
+[`security-architecture.md`](security-architecture.md).
+
+## SSE event channel
+
+`GET /api/events` is a Server-Sent Events stream (`text/event-stream`); each
+message is `event: <name>` + `data: <json>`. The event-name registry
+(`src/web/sse-events.ts`, mirrored in `src/web/public/constants.js`) is part of
+the stable contract — event names are not renamed without a major bump. An
+optional `?sessions=<id,...>` filter suppresses only the high-volume terminal
+stream; lifecycle/metadata events are delivered to all clients regardless.
+
+## Consuming from JavaScript
+
+The bundled frontend reads responses through `_apiJson()`
+(`src/web/public/api-client.js`), which unwraps `{success:true,data}` → `data` and
+returns `null` on a non-2xx / `{success:false}` response. External clients should
+do the same: check the HTTP status (or `body.success`), then read `body.data`.

+
+The live file‑tail SSE route (`FileStreamManager`, used to stream a growing log

+with a deliberately **wider** allowlist: the session `workingDir` **plus two

+(TOCTOU guard), and it is read‑only. This is the one place the per‑session
+boundary is intentionally relaxed; on a password‑protected remote deployment an

+# Versioning & Stability Policy
+
+Codeman follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) (`MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`),
+managed via `@changesets/cli` (see the COM workflow in `CLAUDE.md`).
+
+This document defines **what the version number actually promises** — i.e. which
+surfaces are covered by SemVer and which are explicitly not. It exists because
+"1.0" is a commitment to stability, and an undocumented public surface invites
+incompatible client assumptions we would then be pressured to keep.
+
+> **Status:** finalized for the 1.0 cut. The HTTP/SSE API **is** part of the stable
+> surface — served under `/api/v1` with a uniform response envelope and
+> conventional HTTP status codes. See [`api-reference.md`](api-reference.md).
+
+## What SemVer covers (the public, stable surface)
+
+A **MAJOR** bump is required to break any of these after 1.0:
+
+1. **The CLI.** Command names, documented flags, and their behavior for
+   `codeman <command>` (published to npm as `aicodeman`; invoked as `codeman`).
+   This is the package's actual public entry point (`bin`).
+   - The package is published to npm as `aicodeman` and installs **both** the
+     `aicodeman` and `codeman` commands (`bin` aliases); `codeman` is the
+     canonical command used throughout the docs. Renaming either after 1.0 is a
+     breaking change.
+2. **The published `xterm-zerolag-input` library**, but on **its own version
+   line** — it is versioned and released independently of the Codeman app. Its
+   1.0 status is a separate decision; the Codeman app reaching 1.0 does *not*
+   imply `xterm-zerolag-input` is 1.0.
+3. **Documented environment variables** that configure deployment:
+   `CODEMAN_PASSWORD`, `CODEMAN_USERNAME`, `CODEMAN_HOST`, `CODEMAN_PORT`,
+   `CODEMAN_INSTANCE`, `CODEMAN_ALLOWED_HOSTS`, `CODEMAN_DATA_DIR`,
+   `CODEMAN_TMUX_SOCKET`, and the `--host` / `--port` / `--https` CLI flags.
+   Removing or changing the meaning of one of these is breaking.
+4. **The HTTP API and SSE event channel**, served under **`/api/v1`** with the
+   uniform `{success:true,data}` / `{success:false,error,errorCode}` envelope and
+   conventional HTTP status codes. Endpoint paths, the response envelope, error
+   `errorCode` values, and SSE event names are stable — see
+   [`api-reference.md`](api-reference.md). *Additive* changes (new endpoints, new
+   optional fields, new error codes, new SSE events) are non-breaking; breaking
+   changes ship under a new prefix (`/api/v2`). The unversioned `/api/...` alias
+   is kept working for the bundled UI.
+
+## What SemVer does NOT cover (internal surfaces — may change in any release)
+
+These may change in a **MINOR** (or even PATCH) release without a MAJOR bump:
+
+1. **The `~/.codeman/` state file formats** (`state.json`, `settings.json`,
+   `mux-sessions.json`, etc.). We make a **best-effort** to migrate existing data
+   forward (and have done so across renames), but the on-disk schema is not a
+   stable contract — do not write tooling that depends on its exact shape.
+2. **Internal TypeScript modules.** The npm package is CLI-only; `import`ing it
+   programmatically is not supported (there is no stable library entry point).
+3. **Experimental / opt-in features**, regardless of the app's version:
+   Gesture Control (beta), Agent Teams
+   (`CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1`), and anything labeled experimental
+   in the UI or docs. These may change or be removed at any time.
+
+## Deprecation policy
+
+When we need to change a covered surface:
+
+- Prefer **additive** changes (new flag/env var/command) over breaking ones.
+- A covered surface slated for removal is **deprecated first** — it keeps working
+  for at least one MINOR release with a runtime warning and a `CHANGELOG.md` note
+  pointing to the replacement — then removed in the next MAJOR.
+- Back-compat migration shims (e.g. the historical Claudeman→Codeman data/socket
+  migration) are kept until a MAJOR boundary, then may be dropped.
+
+## Pre-1.0 (`0.x`) caveat
+
+Until 1.0 ships, **any release may contain breaking changes** per SemVer's `0.x`
+allowance. The commitments above take effect at `1.0.0`.
+
+## See also

+ * unwires the guard (or drops a header) would pass the pure-function tests but
+ * fail here. Covers:
+ *   - Host-header allowlist (anti DNS-rebinding) — onRequest, before routing
+ *   - cross-site Origin/CSRF guard on state-changing methods (incl. self-update)
+ *   - security response headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options; HSTS gated on https)
+ *   - text/plain bodies kept RAW (the closed "simple request" CSRF vector)
+ *   - WebSocket anti-CSWSH (Origin/Host validated on upgrade → close 4003)
