Feature Request
The buffer size limits in src/config/buffer-limits.ts are hardcoded constants. It would be great if these could be overridden via environment variables for users who want to tune memory usage for their specific setup.
Current behavior
Buffer limits are fixed at compile time:
MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER_SIZE = 2MB
TRIM_TERMINAL_TO = 1.5MB
MAX_TEXT_OUTPUT_SIZE = 1MB
TRIM_TEXT_TO = 768KB
MAX_MESSAGES = 1000
Proposed behavior
Allow overriding via environment variables, falling back to the current defaults:
export const MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER_SIZE = parseInt(process.env.CODEMAN_MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER || '') || 2 * 1024 * 1024;
export const TRIM_TERMINAL_TO = parseInt(process.env.CODEMAN_TRIM_TERMINAL_TO || '') || 1.5 * 1024 * 1024;
export const MAX_TEXT_OUTPUT_SIZE = parseInt(process.env.CODEMAN_MAX_TEXT_OUTPUT || '') || 1 * 1024 * 1024;
export const TRIM_TEXT_TO = parseInt(process.env.CODEMAN_TRIM_TEXT_TO || '') || 768 * 1024;
export const MAX_MESSAGES = parseInt(process.env.CODEMAN_MAX_MESSAGES || '') || 1000;
Use case
Running Codeman as a single-user server (e.g., behind a reverse proxy with SSO) where memory headroom is plentiful but scrollback feels limited. Being able to set CODEMAN_MAX_TERMINAL_BUFFER=8388608 in the systemd unit would be much cleaner than patching the source.
The existing memory budget rationale (80MB for 20 sessions) is sensible as a default, but users with fewer sessions or more RAM should be able to opt into larger buffers without modifying source.
