codeman@1.19.0

Minor Changes

• c01edcb: Add an optional collapsible left session sidebar as an alternative to the header tab strip.

  With many concurrent sessions the horizontal strip wraps into several rows and stops being scannable. The new layout puts the session list in a vertical <aside> with a filter box and a live session count, collapsible to a 44px rail that keeps the status dots and task badges visible.

  Opt-in via Settings → Layout → Tabs → Session List Layout; the default stays the header strip, so nothing changes unless you switch. Both layouts share one #sessionTabs element that is re-parented between mount points, so every existing affordance (status, mode badge, alerts, drag-reorder, keyboard navigation, web tabs, subagent windows) behaves identically in both. Below 1024px the sidebar is an off-canvas drawer that overlays the terminal instead of shrinking it. Collapse state persists per device; Alt+B toggles it.

• Codeman hooks now install into every claude workspace at session create, not just cases Codeman created (#304). Linked cases and cloned repos previously ran hook-blind: tab alerts, the Approvals Inbox, and the agent skill's stop/blocked wait signals were silently dead there. The install is an add-only merge that preserves user-authored hooks and leaves malformed files untouched, and a boot sweep heals sessions recovered from a restart. Opt out with the new synced workspaceHooksEnabled setting. Note: a .claude/settings.local.json can now appear in repos you link as cases; it contains no secrets. Remote SSH attaches and creates without a workingDir never write hooks.

  File paths an agent prints are now clickable in both the terminal and the response viewer, opening the file preview overlay, including paths outside the session workspace (#306). Out-of-workspace paths are served through the attachment routes' extension allowlist, realpath confinement, and sensitive-path blocklist; Codeman's own credential-bearing files (settings.json, push-keys.json, intents.json, state*.json) are blocked from serving.

  Both home screens (the desktop home tab rail and the phone overview) sort sessions by activity instead of tab order (#303): blocked sessions first with the longest-blocked on top, then running sessions longest-running first, then quiet sessions most recently active first. A turn starting now pushes a session state broadcast so the ordering stays live after page load.

  The codeman agent skill docs teach hook presence as a setting to check rather than a consequence of who created the workspace, and the §0 preamble stamp is bumped to 1.19.0 (#305).

  Thanks
