Bug 1 — in-container repo mounting:
- docker-compose.yml: added /data/working-copies:/data/working-copies mount
to API container so workspace dirs are visible on host filesystem
- Dockerfile: create /data/working-copies dir in image
Bug 2 — /home/user not writable:
- workspace_manager.py: chmod 777 workspace dirs + 666 files after clone
and after sync, so any container user can write
- manifest_compiler.py: explicit mkdir + chown + chmod 755 for home dir
in generated Dockerfile
Bug 3 — terminal text shifts left on typing:
- terminal.tsx: removed manual term.refresh() after fit (caused reflow)
- Track lastSentCols/lastSentRows and only send resize when dimensions
actually changed, preventing resize feedback loops
Bug 4 — ESC key captured by terminal:
- terminal.tsx: attachCustomKeyEventHandler allows ESC to propagate to
browser when not in alternate buffer (vim/tmux), so modals/navigation
work; ESC still sent to PTY when in vim/tmux alternate screen
Quality gates: ruff clean, tsc --noEmit clean, pytest workspaces (9 passed)
- New StartToolFAB component: fixed floating button (bottom-right) opens
a modal with workspace selector + ToolStarter
- Added to AppShell: available on every page except mobile terminal
- Dashboard (home): removed old CreateSessionForm and 'Quick create' section,
replaced with FAB + 'Workspaces quick access' prompt
- Sessions page: removed inline workspace selector + ToolStarter, now
shows prompt to use the FAB
- Styles: .start-tool-fab with hover scale, shadow, mobile offset above tab bar
Quality gates: tsc --noEmit clean, pytest workspaces API (9 passed, 1 skipped)
- Replace awkward first-workspace-guessing logic with inline project/repo selector
- New WorkspaceCreateInline component with cascading dropdowns:
- Select project → loads repositories for that project
- Select repository → enter workspace name + branch
- Submit creates workspace via top-level POST /workspaces/
- Add createWorkspaceTopLevel() API client for flat endpoint
- Works even with zero existing workspaces (shows create button in empty state)
- Add CSS grid layout for inline create form
- TypeScript + eslint clean
- Dual-mode touch scroll:
- Normal mode: scroll .xterm-viewport directly when scrollHeight > clientHeight
- Alternate screen (tmux/vim): send SGR 1006 mouse-wheel protocol data
using cursor position so tmux knows which pane to scroll
- Add touch-action: none to .terminal-container to prevent browser gestures
- Lock both html and body overflow when terminal page is open on mobile
- Remove synthetic WheelEvent approach (xterm.js SmoothScrollableElement
doesn't reliably handle synthetic events)
- Attach capture-phase touch listeners to .terminal-container (parent of xterm)
- On vertical swipe: e.preventDefault() blocks page scroll, then directly
adjust .xterm-viewport.scrollTop by the swipe delta
- This bypasses term.scrollLines() API and directly manipulates the DOM
element that xterm.js watches via its internal scroll handler
- Remove all CSS touch-action overrides — container handles it in JS
- Add full mobile viewport CSS: overflow-y scroll, -webkit-overflow-scrolling
touch, overscroll-behavior-y contain, translate3d hardware accel,
scroll-behavior smooth, touch-action pan-y
- After term.open(), find .xterm-viewport and add passive touch listeners
that call stopPropagation() (not preventDefault) — this lets the browser
handle native touch scrolling while preventing xterm.js internal handlers
from interfering
- Based on xterm.js known issue #5489 and SCROLLING_FIX.md approach
- xterm.js has zero touch event handlers (verified: only 1 'touch' ref in
entire library), so it wasn't intercepting anything
- Our touch-action: none + preventDefault() combo was blocking the browser
from scrolling the .xterm-viewport natively
- Removed all custom touch event handlers from terminal.tsx
- Removed touch-action: none from .terminal-container
- Added touch-action: pan-y to .xterm-viewport so browser allows vertical pan
- Body scroll lock (terminal-page-open) prevents page from scrolling
- Attach touch listeners to document with capture:true instead of container
- Check if touch target is inside terminal container before handling
- This runs before xterm.js internal handlers, giving us full control
- Add touch-action: none to terminal container to prevent browser gestures
- Lower threshold to 3px, 20px per line for responsive scrolling
- Add body.terminal-page-open { overflow: hidden } to prevent page scroll
- TerminalPage adds/removes 'terminal-page-open' class on body when mounted
- Re-add capture-phase touch listeners in terminal.tsx with low 3px threshold
- Call e.preventDefault() immediately when vertical gesture is detected,
before browser compositor commits to page scroll
- Remove CSS touch-action overrides on xterm viewport (now handled in JS)
- Scroll forwarded via term.scrollLines() with 24px per line sensitivity
- Remove all custom touch event interception code from terminal.tsx
- After term.open(), find the internal .xterm-viewport element and set
touchAction=pan-y and overscrollBehavior=contain via inline styles
- Add CSS targeting .xterm-viewport on mobile with touch-action: pan-y,
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch, and overflow-y: auto
- Let the browser handle vertical touch panning natively instead of
trying to intercept and manually forward events
- Attach touch listeners to container wrapper in CAPTURE phase so they run
before xterm.js internals stop propagation
- Add e.stopPropagation() in touchmove after handling scroll to prevent
xterm.js from conflicting with our scroll
- Add wheel event fallback for mobile browsers that synthesize wheel from touch
- Remove touch-action: none CSS which was blocking native xterm viewport scroll
- Attach touch listeners to term.element (xterm root) instead of wrapper
- Fix scroll direction: swipe up now scrolls up (shows older buffer)
- Remove RAF indirection; scroll applied synchronously in touchmove
- Accumulate delta between events for smoother scrolling
- Lower threshold to 6px and px-per-line to 16 for better responsiveness
- Add touch-action: none to terminal container on mobile
- Replace inline header+tabs layout with position:absolute overlay
- Overlay contains: back button, session name, status dot, A-/A+ font size, exit
- Session tabs live inside the overlay below the toolbar
- Auto-hides after 3s; clicking terminal content hides it immediately
- Pull handle at top edge appears when overlay is hidden to restore it
- Terminal content always fills full viewport; overlay never resizes container
- Pass showControls=false to TerminalComponent on mobile to avoid double headers
Notification filtering:
- lifecycle_hooks.py: only instance.error and instance.health_changed
with status=running generate notifications. All other lifecycle events
(created, started, stopped, restarted, deleted) are filtered out.
- health_monitor.py: only error and unhealthy states generate notifications.
Running/recovered state no longer creates info notifications.
- _derive_title now maps instance.health_changed to "Container ready".
Clear-all button:
- Added dismiss_all() to NotificationService
- Added DELETE /notifications endpoint for bulk dismiss
- Frontend: clearAllNotifications API, clearAll in notification context,
"Clear all" button in notification drawer alongside "Mark all as read"
- Added CSS for .notification-clear-all with danger hover state
- Updated notification-center tests
Quality gates: pytest (21 passed), vitest (11 passed)
- Remove global Escape key listener that intercepted Escape before
xterm.js could receive it, breaking vim/tmux/etc.
- Add click-outside-to-exit for fullscreen: clicking on the padding
area around .terminal-page-content or .terminal-fullscreen-header
exits fullscreen. Clicks inside content or header are ignored.
- Add 8px padding/gap to .terminal-page.fullscreen to create a
clickable border area around the terminal.
- Keep Exit button and Alt+Shift+F as explicit exit methods.

When switching terminal sessions in fullscreen mode, the viewport
shrank cumulatively because .terminal-wrapper uses
grid-template-rows: auto 1fr. With showControls=false, the single
child (.terminal-container) landed in the auto track instead of 1fr,
creating a feedback loop with xterm fit().
- Add .terminal-wrapper.no-controls with grid-template-rows: 1fr
so the container fills the wrapper when the header is hidden.
- Apply no-controls class in TerminalComponent when showControls=false.
- Replace setTimeout(50) with double requestAnimationFrame in
TerminalPage for more reliable fit() timing after tab switches.
