-export declare const AGENT_OPERATIONS_GUIDE = "# CLI Agent Operations Guide\n\nOperate agent sessions from the CommandMate CLI.\nThese commands enable coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to orchestrate other agents in parallel.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- CommandMate server must be running: commandmate start --daemon\n- Target worktrees must be registered (visible in browser UI sidebar)\n- Connection target is resolved as: exported CM_PORT > ~/.commandmate/.env CM_PORT > 3000\n  (CM_BIND and the CM_HTTPS_CERT + CM_HTTPS_KEY pair are honoured the same way)\n- Use CM_AUTH_TOKEN env var for authenticated servers\n\n## Commands\n\n### commandmate ls\n  List worktrees with status.\n\n  commandmate ls                          # Table format (ID, NAME, STATUS, REASON, DEFAULT, AUTO_YES)\n  commandmate ls --json                   # JSON output (for agent consumption)\n  commandmate ls --quiet                  # IDs only, one per line (for piping)\n  commandmate ls --branch <prefix>        # Filter by branch name prefix\n  commandmate ls --id <prefix>            # Filter by worktree id prefix\n\n  Worktree ids are <repo>-<branch> slugs (e.g. anvil-develop). --id / --branch\n  front-match is case-sensitive and does NOT guarantee uniqueness (e.g.\n  --id anvil-develop also matches anvil-develop-2). --branch and --id combine\n  as AND. Use --id to disambiguate the same branch across repositories.\n\n  STATUS values:\n    idle     - Session not started\n    ready    - Session running, waiting for input (task completed)\n    running  - Agent executing a task\n    waiting  - Confirmation prompt active (Yes/No, etc.)\n\n  REASON values (Issue #1926):\n    The evidence behind the STATUS beside it. '<reason> (no evidence)' marks a\n    frame the detection layer could not classify, so the STATUS is a fallback\n    rather than a reading. '-' means the server gives no reason: it predates\n    #1926, the session is not running, or the tool has two or more instances and\n    the per-tool aggregate dropped it. 'commandmate ls --json' keeps the\n    per-tool rows under sessionStatusByCli.<tool>.\n\n  AUTO_YES values (Issue #2575):\n    Time left on the instance that will lose Auto-Yes FIRST, among the instances\n    that explain this row's STATUS (waiting: the ones waiting; running: the ones\n    processing; ready: the ones running; idle: the ones that exited -- a bare\n    idle row falls back to every armed instance).\n\n    MM:SS    - time left, under an hour (e.g. 42:10)\n    H:MM:SS  - time left, an hour or more (e.g. 1:05:33)\n    on       - armed, with no expiry the server named\n    off      - at least one of those instances is NOT armed, so a prompt on this\n               row waits for a human. 'waiting' + 'off' is a confirmation\n               prompt nobody is going to answer -- the cell to look for\n    blocked  - armed, but the contract running on that instance sets\n               autoYes.mode: off, so nothing is answered there either\n               (Issue #3723; --json: autoYesByInstance.<id>.blockedByContract)\n    off(restart) - off, because the server restarted while the grant was live\n               (Issue #3730; --json: autoYesStopReasonByInstance.<id>)\n    -        - not known: the server predates #2512, or this row is not idle and\n               no instance explains its STATUS\n\n    A trailing ' (<instanceId>)' names the instance the cell is about, printed\n    when that is not the default agent's primary. Pass it to capture / send /\n    respond as --instance verbatim.\n\n    Time left is a fact about Auto-Yes, not a promise that the prompt gets\n    answered: a contract autoYes policy can withhold the answer, and a free-text\n    prompt has none to give. 'commandmate capture <id> --json --instance <id>'\n    carries autoYes.lastSuppression and autoYes.stopReason; 'commandmate wait'\n    returns exit 10 for a prompt no agent is going to clear.\n\n    Nothing here is derived in --json: it carries sessionStatusByInstance and\n    autoYesByInstance raw, which is where the per-instance breakdown is.\n\n### commandmate sync\n  Ask the server to re-scan repositories and sync worktrees to its database\n  (same endpoint as the GUI sync button). Run it after 'git worktree add' so the\n  new worktree appears in 'commandmate ls' without opening the GUI (Issue #1680).\n\n  commandmate sync                        # Prints the server's summary message\n  commandmate sync --json                 # Full API response (worktreeCount,\n                                          # repositoryCount, repositories,\n                                          # deletedCount, cleanupWarnings)\n\n### commandmate send <worktree-id> \"<message>\"\n  Send a message to an agent (async). Starts session automatically if not running.\n\n  Options:\n    --instance <id>        Agent instance ID: <agent> or <agent>-<n> (e.g. claude-2, or codex\n                           for the codex primary instance). The recommended way to name a\n                           target: send / wait / respond / capture / auto-yes all take it.\n    --agent <id>           Ad-hoc CLI tool for an instance the roster does not know:\n                           claude (default), codex, gemini, vibe-local, opencode, copilot, antigravity\n    --register             Register the --instance session into the agent-instance roster\n    --auto-yes             Enable auto-yes before sending (session-wide, no policy\n                           guard -- for unattended runs prefer --contract with an\n                           autoYes policy: mode / denyPatterns)\n    --duration <d>         Auto-yes duration: 1h, 3h, 8h (default: 1h)\n    --stop-pattern <p>     Auto-yes stop condition (regex; matches terminal output,\n                           cannot block commands -- see auto-yes below)\n    --ignore-structured-prompt\n                           Send even if only the agent's hooks report an open dialog.\n                           For a session whose pane looks idle but keeps refusing;\n                           a dialog visible in the terminal is still refused.\n    --reply-to <target>    Deliver the target session's reply into <target>'s composer\n                           when the turn ends: <worktree-id>[@<instance-id|alias>], or\n                           'self' for the session running the command. Nothing blocks --\n                           there is no wait to run and no pane to scrape.\n    --allow-relay-chain    Permit --reply-to while answering a message that itself\n                           arrived over a relay. Refused by default (exit 2); chains\n                           still stop at 3 hops.\n\n  Refused while the agent is waiting on a prompt (exit 2). Keystrokes sent to\n  an open dialog never reach the agent -- they pile up in the dialog's own\n  input line, and the next respond then carries that text along as a message\n  instead of an answer. Nudging a stalled worker is how this gets worse.\n  Answer first: commandmate respond <id> <answer>. respond, special keys and\n  prompt-response are never refused -- they are the way out. Timer-fired sends\n  ARE refused (same service layer) and record [prompt_waiting] as their reason.\n  It fails open if the pane cannot be read, so treat it as a narrowing, not a\n  guarantee.\n\n  Two layers can report the dialog: the terminal scraper, and the agent's own\n  hooks. Either one is enough to refuse -- the dialog the scraper cannot read is\n  exactly the one that caused this. A frame neither layer classifies is still\n  wait's \"unclassified\" case instead.\n\n  A hook-reported dialog is released by the agent's next event, and hooks are\n  fail-open, so the record can outlive its dialog. It therefore stops blocking\n  sends 5 minutes after it was reported -- and immediately with\n  --ignore-structured-prompt, or CM_STRUCTURED_SEND_GUARD=off for the server.\n  A session nobody can send to is worse than a missed guard. Both bypasses are\n  narrow: a prompt on screen is still refused, and the payload still reports it\n  (wait and the UI do not go quiet).\n\n  Message length: up to 48 KiB and 240 lines arrives whole on claude, codex,\n  command-code and antigravity (verified, Issue #2464). Over 512 bytes the\n  message is pasted as one bracketed paste and Enter waits until the agent's\n  composer shows all of it; if it never does, nothing is submitted and send\n  exits 99 (\"Message body did not arrive intact\"). Put a longer brief in a\n  file and send a message that names it ('commandmate docs --section delegation').\n\n  Finding worktree IDs:\n    WT=$(commandmate ls --branch feature/101 --quiet)\n    WT=$(commandmate ls --id anvil- --quiet)   # disambiguate by repo (id prefix)\n    commandmate send \"$WT\" \"Implement this\"\n\n  Targeting a non-default agent (Issue #1638): pass --instance, not --agent. Only\n  --instance is accepted by every command -- 'wait --agent' does not exist -- so a\n  workflow that names the agent on 'send' and nothing on 'wait' waits on the wrong\n  session in silence.\n    commandmate send \"$WT\" \"Implement this\" --instance codex\n    commandmate wait \"$WT\" --instance codex\n\n  Delegating without blocking (--reply-to):\n    commandmate send \"$WT\" \"Implement this\" --instance codex --reply-to self\n    # ... keep working. When codex finishes, its answer arrives in your composer as\n    # [from Codex 2 / <worktree>] <reply>, saved in History as a 'relay' message.\n    commandmate relays                       # what is still outstanding\n\n  The relay is refused (exit 2, nothing sent) when the message you are answering\n  arrived over a relay itself (pass --allow-relay-chain), when the chain would\n  exceed 3 hops, or when an open relay between the two sessions already exists.\n  If the target stops on a confirmation you are told, once, and the relay stays\n  open -- answer the dialog on that session and the reply still arrives. A relay\n  nobody could deliver expires after 24h with a single line of notice.\n\n### commandmate relays\n  List the standing delegations this session is waiting on and owes.\n\n    commandmate relays                      # the session running the command\n    commandmate relays --worktree <id> --instance codex-2\n    commandmate relays --json               # owed / awaiting / open / counts\n    commandmate relays cancel <relay-id>    # withdraw one; nothing is delivered\n\n  States: pending (the worker has not finished), prompt (it stopped on a\n  confirmation and the requester was told; still open), delivered, expired,\n  cancelled.\n\n  A reply is held rather than delivered while the requesting session is\n  generating -- typing into a running composer interrupts the turn -- and is\n  delivered as soon as it is idle again.\n\n### commandmate wait <worktree-id...>\n  Block until agent completes or prompt is detected.\n\n  Options:\n    --timeout <seconds>        Maximum wait time\n    --on-prompt <mode>         agent (default) or human\n    --stall-timeout <seconds>  Max time without output change\n    --instance <id>            Agent instance to wait on. There is no --agent here.\n    --verify                   After completion, run every verification gate\n    --require-work             After completion, run only the work-evidence gate\n    --auto-yes-grace <seconds> With the target's Auto-Yes on, how long a prompt may\n                               stay open before exit 10 (default 30; 0 = at once)\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   - Completed (agent idle/ready), and verified when --verify was given\n    10  - Prompt detected (--on-prompt agent mode)\n    20  - A verification gate failed (--verify)\n    21  - Nothing to verify: no commits, no uncommitted changes\n    124 - Timeout exceeded\n\n  --on-prompt modes:\n    agent  - Returns exit 10 with prompt JSON on stdout: at once, or after the\n             Auto-Yes grace below when the target's Auto-Yes is on\n    human  - Keeps blocking until human responds via browser UI\n\n  Auto-Yes on the target (Issue #2463): in agent mode a prompt on a session\n  whose Auto-Yes is on is held, not reported, for up to --auto-yes-grace\n  seconds (default 30) -- Auto-Yes answers it within seconds, and an exit 10\n  would stop a delegation for a prompt nobody had to see. One stderr line says\n  so; stdout stays empty. If the prompt clears, wait goes on judging completion\n  as usual ('ask' does the same). It still exits 10 when the grace runs out,\n  and at once when the Auto-Yes policy withheld the answer -- the payload then\n  carries autoYesSuppression. --auto-yes-grace 0 restores the immediate exit.\n\n  Prompt JSON output (exit 10):\n    {\"worktreeId\":\"...\",\"cliToolId\":\"claude\",\"type\":\"yes_no\",\"question\":\"...\",\"options\":[\"yes\",\"no\"],\"status\":\"pending\"}\n    The payload IS the prompt -- read it from stdout before falling back to\n    capture. Since Issue #3755 it also carries \"observation\", the payload\n    \"commandmate prompt --json\" prints, read off the same capture. For type \"selection_list\", options is empty by design and the\n    question field carries the reason.\n\n    Three \"type\" values share exit 10; only the first is answerable with\n    respond:\n      yes_no / multiple_choice  a parsed prompt        -> commandmate respond\n      selection_list            arrow-key menu         -> special keys\n      unclassified              the frame is interactive but detection could\n                                not parse it, and it has stayed that way for\n                                60s -> look at the pane: capture <id> --pane\n    \"unclassified\" exists because a frame that slips past detection disables\n    auto-yes, the contract's autoYes policy and this exit 10 all at once. It\n    needs the dwell: a capture taken mid-repaint can raise the flag once.\n    --on-prompt human keeps waiting for it, same as the other two.\n\n    On opencode the commonest cause has a name and a one-key fix. If its\n    sidebar is on -- ctrl+x b, or \"Show sidebar\" in its ctrl+p palette -- it\n    shares screen rows with the transcript, covers the marker that ends a\n    turn, and every frame after that reads running/unknown_frame. wait says\n    so on stderr (paneObstruction=opencode_sidebar) and capture --json\n    publishes the same field. Press ctrl+x b in the pane to close it; Escape\n    does not.\n\n    An opencode DIALOG is the other one, and it exits 10 as selection_list\n    rather than waiting out the dwell. Its session list (ctrl+x l), agent list\n    (ctrl+x a), timeline (ctrl+x g), command palette (ctrl+p) and pickers are\n    painted over the transcript, so the marker of the previous turn is still\n    on the pane behind them -- which is what used to make wait report a\n    blocked pane as Completed. sessionStatusReason is opencode_modal_overlay\n    and Escape closes all of them.\n\n  --verify turns \"the agent stopped\" into \"the work passes the repository's own\n  checks\". Verification only runs when completion was detected: a prompt (10) or\n  a timeout (124) is reported as-is and never verified. With several worktrees,\n  gates run one worktree at a time because the server caps concurrent runs.\n\n### commandmate verify <worktree-id>\n  Run the gates declared in .commandmate/verify.yaml against a worktree.\n\n  Options:\n    --gates <id1,id2>     Gate ids to run (default: work-evidence + all declared)\n    --instance <id>       Attribute the run to an agent instance\n    --timeout <seconds>   Stop polling after N seconds (exit 124)\n    --json                Print the run and its gate results as JSON on stdout\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   - Every gate passed\n    20  - A gate failed, timed out, or errored\n    21  - work-evidence found nothing to verify (no commits, no changes)\n    99  - The run produced no verdict (bad verify.yaml, gates skipped, cancelled)\n    124 - --timeout elapsed while the run was still going\n\n  Output (progress on stderr, verdict on stdout):\n    GATE work-evidence PASS (commits=3, uncommitted=2)\n    GATE lint PASS (exit=0, 12.3s)\n    GATE unit FAIL (exit=1, 45.0s)\n    RESULT failed\n\n  Gates run in the worktree's own directory. Gates are skipped (run status 99,\n  never 0) in the checkout the server itself runs from when verify.yaml sets\n  options.skipInPrimaryCheckout, so a 'build' gate cannot replace the assets the\n  live app is serving.\n\n### commandmate verify init\n  Draft .commandmate/verify.yaml from this repository's own CI definitions\n  (Issue #2061). Reads every 'run:' step in .github/workflows/*.yml plus the\n  canonical package.json scripts, and declares the ones that are safe to re-run.\n\n  Options:\n    --cwd <path>          Repository to draft for (default: current directory)\n    --dry-run             Print the proposal on stdout and write nothing\n    --json                Print gates, refusals and scanned files as JSON\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   - Wrote (or, with --dry-run, proposed) the config\n    2   - The config already exists, or nothing draftable was found\n\n  NEVER overwrites. An existing verify.yaml is the repository's own judgement of\n  what passing means, usually with the reasoning for each gate beside it, so\n  there is no --force: \"throw it away\" is spelled by deleting the file.\n\n  The only verify subcommand that needs no server: it is what you run BEFORE the\n  repository has anything to verify.\n\n  Commands that are found and NOT declared are reported with a reason on stderr\n  (setup, network, release, container, mutating, long-running, multi-line,\n  multi-command, runner-specific, not-a-check, interactive, redundant,\n  unquotable, reserved-id). A gate must be safe to run any number of times, so\n  'npm ci', 'npm publish', 'npm audit' and e2e suites never become gates.\n\n  The draft is a draft: it mirrors what CI already runs, not what the repository\n  considers sufficient. Read it, then run it once and confirm RESULT passed.\n\n### commandmate verify history / commandmate verify show <run-id>\n  Read past verification runs. Both are read-only and never start a run, so\n  neither returns 20 or 21 \u2014 those mean \"this tree failed verification\", and a\n  question about history is not a verdict on the current tree.\n\n  commandmate verify history                          # every worktree, newest 50\n  commandmate verify history --worktree <id>          # one worktree\n  commandmate verify history --days 14 --limit 100    # window and page size\n  commandmate verify history --json                   # JSON array on stdout\n  commandmate verify show 42                          # gates + log tails\n  commandmate verify show 42 --json\n\n  history options:\n    --worktree <id>       Restrict to one worktree (default: all)\n    --days <n>            Look back n days, 1..90 (default: no lower bound)\n    --limit <n>           Maximum runs, 1..500 (default: 50)\n\n  One run per line.

Every subcommand is a thin client over the same\n  APIs the browser UI uses: the CLI never downloads, extracts, writes or deletes\n  anything itself, and never sends a filesystem path, artifact URL, file list or\n  checksum (the API rejects those outright).\n\n  commandmate skill list [--json] [--prerelease]\n  commandmate skill info <skill-id> [--version <v>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill plan <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--version <v>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill install <skill-id> --worktree <id> --version <exact> [--dry-run] [--yes] [--ack-risk <id>@<version>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill uninstall <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--dry-run] [--yes] [--json]\n  commandmate skill status <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--json]\n\n  Confirmation contract (writes = install / uninstall):\n    - A plan is always built and shown first. --dry-run stops there.\n    - Without a TTY, a write REQUIRES --yes. A missing --yes is refused, never\n      assumed: an environment that cannot prompt must not install silently.\n    - A high-risk Skill additionally requires --ack-risk <skill-id>@<version>\n      with the exact id and version. --yes alone never carries a high-risk\n      install, in a TTY or out of one.\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   success\n    1   the server or the Catalog could not be reached (retryable)\n    2   invalid arguments, unknown Skill or unknown version\n    11  the worktree refused it (local change, conflict, lock, plan drift)\n    12  the write was never confirmed (no --yes, declined, or missing --ack-risk)\n    13  files changed but the operation needs reconciliation\n\n  --json prints the API response body verbatim on stdout; diagnostics, prompts\n  and errors always go to stderr, so a failed --json run leaves stdout empty.\n\n  'skill status' reports one Skill in one worktree, read from the install\n  receipt on disk. There is no per-worktree listing endpoint yet, so <skill-id>\n  is required.\n\n## Multi-Session (1 agent, multiple sessions)\n\n  A worktree can run several sessions of the same CLI tool concurrently. Each\n  session is an \"instance\" identified by an instance ID:\n    <agent>        - the agent's primary instance (e.g. \"claude\")\n    <agent>-<n>    - an additional instance, n >= 2 (e.g. \"claude-2\", \"claude-3\")\n\n  --instance is accepted by send / wait / respond / capture / auto-yes.\n  send --instance auto-starts the session if it is not already running.\n\n  --instance alone is the recommended way to name a target (Issue #1638). It is\n  the only flag all five commands share: --agent is rejected by 'wait'. A\n  rostered instance already carries its CLI tool (Issue #1629), and an instance\n  id that is itself a tool id resolves to that tool's primary instance even\n  without a roster entry, so '--instance codex' needs no --agent.\n\n  --agent remains accepted by send / respond / capture / auto-yes as the\n  supplement for ad-hoc instances the roster does not know -- notably\n  '--register', which cannot infer the tool from an id like codex-3. Passing an\n  --agent that contradicts the roster is an error (exit 2), not an override.\n\n  The roster (visible in the browser UI's Agent panel) is the list of known\n  instances with aliases and display order. Ad-hoc sessions started via\n  'send --instance' do NOT appear in the roster unless registered:\n    commandmate send <id> \"...\" --instance claude-2 --register\n  Without --register, the session still runs and responds to CLI commands,\n  but it will not show up in the UI sidebar/roster until added there or via\n  'commandmate instances <id> add'.\n\n  Per-instance auto-yes: --instance scopes --auto-yes/--duration/--stop-pattern\n  to that specific session, independent of other instances of the same agent.\n\n  --instance also accepts the ALIAS shown in the ALIAS column of\n  'commandmate instances <id>' and in the browser UI's Agent panel\n  (Issue #2376), e.g. --instance \"Codex 2\". An alias two roster rows answer to\n  is refused with exit 2 and both candidates listed; ids always win over aliases.\n\n  commandmate instances <id>                        # discover valid --instance values\n  commandmate send <id> \"task\" --instance codex-2 --auto-yes\n  commandmate wait <id> --instance codex-2 --timeout 600\n  commandmate capture <id> --instance codex-2\n\n  Asking ANOTHER session something and getting its reply is one command, not\n  three -- and waiting for it is optional ('ask --async' / 'send --reply-to',\n  Issue #2377): see 'commandmate docs --section delegation'.\n\n## All Exit Codes\n\n  0   SUCCESS          - Completed successfully\n  1   DEPENDENCY_ERROR - Server not running\n  2   CONFIG_ERROR     - Validation error (invalid agent, duration, etc.)\n  10  PROMPT_DETECTED  - Prompt detected during wait\n  20  VERIFY_FAILED    - A verification gate failed (verify, wait --verify)\n  21  NOT_STARTED      - Nothing to verify: no commits, no uncommitted changes\n  30  NO_ACTIVE_SESSIONS - interrupt found no running session to interrupt\n  99  UNEXPECTED_ERROR - Unexpected error / resource not found / no verdict\n  124 TIMEOUT          - Wait or verification timeout exceeded\n\n  When one 'wait' covers several worktrees, the reported code is the highest\n  priority one observed: 10 > 20 > 21 > 124.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n  Server not running:\n    commandmate start --daemon\n    CM_PORT=3011 commandmate ls        # Different port\n\n  Worktree not found:\n    commandmate ls --quiet             # Check registered IDs\n    commandmate sync                   # Sync new worktrees (e.g. after git worktree add)\n    commandmate status                 # Confirm 'ls' and 'status' report the same Port\n                                       # (with several servers running, an exported CM_PORT\n                                       #  points 'ls' at a different one)\n\n  Authentication:\n    CM_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token commandmate ls\n";
+export declare const AGENT_OPERATIONS_GUIDE = "# CLI Agent Operations Guide\n\nOperate agent sessions from the CommandMate CLI.\nThese commands enable coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to orchestrate other agents in parallel.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n- CommandMate server must be running: commandmate start --daemon\n- Target worktrees must be registered (visible in browser UI sidebar)\n- Connection target is resolved as: exported CM_PORT > ~/.commandmate/.env CM_PORT > 3000\n  (CM_BIND and the CM_HTTPS_CERT + CM_HTTPS_KEY pair are honoured the same way)\n- Use CM_AUTH_TOKEN env var for authenticated servers\n\n## Commands\n\n### commandmate ls\n  List worktrees with status.\n\n  commandmate ls                          # Table format (ID, NAME, STATUS, REASON, DEFAULT, AUTO_YES)\n  commandmate ls --json                   # JSON output (for agent consumption)\n  commandmate ls --quiet                  # IDs only, one per line (for piping)\n  commandmate ls --branch <prefix>        # Filter by branch name prefix\n  commandmate ls --id <prefix>            # Filter by worktree id prefix\n\n  Worktree ids are <repo>-<branch> slugs (e.g. anvil-develop). --id / --branch\n  front-match is case-sensitive and does NOT guarantee uniqueness (e.g.\n  --id anvil-develop also matches anvil-develop-2). --branch and --id combine\n  as AND. Use --id to disambiguate the same branch across repositories.\n\n  STATUS values:\n    idle     - Session not started\n    ready    - Session running, waiting for input (task completed)\n    running  - Agent executing a task\n    waiting  - Confirmation prompt active (Yes/No, etc.)\n\n  REASON values (Issue #1926):\n    The evidence behind the STATUS beside it. '<reason> (no evidence)' marks a\n    frame the detection layer could not classify, so the STATUS is a fallback\n    rather than a reading. '-' means the server gives no reason: it predates\n    #1926, the session is not running, or the tool has two or more instances and\n    the per-tool aggregate dropped it. 'commandmate ls --json' keeps the\n    per-tool rows under sessionStatusByCli.<tool>.\n\n  AUTO_YES values (Issue #2575):\n    Time left on the instance that will lose Auto-Yes FIRST, among the instances\n    that explain this row's STATUS (waiting: the ones waiting; running: the ones\n    processing; ready: the ones running; idle: the ones that exited -- a bare\n    idle row falls back to every armed instance).\n\n    MM:SS    - time left, under an hour (e.g. 42:10)\n    H:MM:SS  - time left, an hour or more (e.g. 1:05:33)\n    on       - armed, with no expiry the server named\n    off      - at least one of those instances is NOT armed, so a prompt on this\n               row waits for a human. 'waiting' + 'off' is a confirmation\n               prompt nobody is going to answer -- the cell to look for\n    blocked  - armed, but the contract running on that instance sets\n               autoYes.mode: off, so nothing is answered there either\n               (Issue #3723; --json: autoYesByInstance.<id>.blockedByContract)\n    off(restart) - off, because the server restarted while the grant was live\n               (Issue #3730; --json: autoYesStopReasonByInstance.<id>)\n    -        - not known: the server predates #2512, or this row is not idle and\n               no instance explains its STATUS\n\n    A trailing ' (<instanceId>)' names the instance the cell is about, printed\n    when that is not the default agent's primary. Pass it to capture / send /\n    respond as --instance verbatim.\n\n    Time left is a fact about Auto-Yes, not a promise that the prompt gets\n    answered: a contract autoYes policy can withhold the answer, and a free-text\n    prompt has none to give. 'commandmate capture <id> --json --instance <id>'\n    carries autoYes.lastSuppression and autoYes.stopReason; 'commandmate wait'\n    returns exit 10 for a prompt no agent is going to clear.\n\n    Nothing here is derived in --json: it carries sessionStatusByInstance and\n    autoYesByInstance raw, which is where the per-instance breakdown is.\n\n### commandmate sync\n  Ask the server to re-scan repositories and sync worktrees to its database\n  (same endpoint as the GUI sync button).

Keystrokes sent to\n  an open dialog never reach the agent -- they pile up in the dialog's own\n  input line, and the next respond then carries that text along as a message\n  instead of an answer. Nudging a stalled worker is how this gets worse.\n  Answer first: commandmate respond <id> <answer>. respond, special keys and\n  prompt-response are never refused -- they are the way out. Timer-fired sends\n  ARE refused (same service layer) and record [prompt_waiting] as their reason.\n  It fails open if the pane cannot be read, so treat it as a narrowing, not a\n  guarantee.\n\n  Two layers can report the dialog: the terminal scraper, and the agent's own\n  hooks. Either one is enough to refuse -- the dialog the scraper cannot read is\n  exactly the one that caused this. A frame neither layer classifies is still\n  wait's \"unclassified\" case instead.\n\n  A hook-reported dialog is released by the agent's next event, and hooks are\n  fail-open, so the record can outlive its dialog. It therefore stops blocking\n  sends 5 minutes after it was reported -- and immediately with\n  --ignore-structured-prompt, or CM_STRUCTURED_SEND_GUARD=off for the server.\n  A session nobody can send to is worse than a missed guard. Both bypasses are\n  narrow: a prompt on screen is still refused, and the payload still reports it\n  (wait and the UI do not go quiet).\n\n  Message length: up to 48 KiB and 240 lines arrives whole on claude, codex,\n  command-code and antigravity (verified, Issue #2464). Over 512 bytes the\n  message is pasted as one bracketed paste and Enter waits until the agent's\n  composer shows all of it; if it never does, nothing is submitted and send\n  exits 99 (\"Message body did not arrive intact\").

For type \"selection_list\", options is empty by design and the\n    question field carries the reason.\n\n    Three \"type\" values share exit 10; only the first is answerable with\n    respond:\n      yes_no / multiple_choice  a parsed prompt        -> commandmate respond\n      selection_list            arrow-key menu         -> special keys\n      unclassified              the frame is interactive but detection could\n                                not parse it, and it has stayed that way for\n                                60s -> look at the pane: capture <id> --pane\n    \"unclassified\" exists because a frame that slips past detection disables\n    auto-yes, the contract's autoYes policy and this exit 10 all at once. It\n    needs the dwell: a capture taken mid-repaint can raise the flag once.\n    --on-prompt human keeps waiting for it, same as the other two.\n\n    On opencode the commonest cause has a name and a one-key fix. If its\n    sidebar is on -- ctrl+x b, or \"Show sidebar\" in its ctrl+p palette -- it\n    shares screen rows with the transcript, covers the marker that ends a\n    turn, and every frame after that reads running/unknown_frame. wait says\n    so on stderr (paneObstruction=opencode_sidebar) and capture --json\n    publishes the same field. Press ctrl+x b in the pane to close it; Escape\n    does not.\n\n    An opencode DIALOG is the other one, and it exits 10 as selection_list\n    rather than waiting out the dwell. Its session list (ctrl+x l), agent list\n    (ctrl+x a), timeline (ctrl+x g), command palette (ctrl+p) and pickers are\n    painted over the transcript, so the marker of the previous turn is still\n    on the pane behind them -- which is what used to make wait report a\n    blocked pane as Completed. sessionStatusReason is opencode_modal_overlay\n    and Escape closes all of them.\n\n  --verify turns \"the agent stopped\" into \"the work passes the repository's own\n  checks\". Verification only runs when completion was detected: a prompt (10) or\n  a timeout (124) is reported as-is and never verified. With several worktrees,\n  gates run one worktree at a time because the server caps concurrent runs.\n\n### commandmate verify <worktree-id>\n  Run the gates declared in .commandmate/verify.yaml against a worktree.\n\n  Options:\n    --gates <id1,id2>     Gate ids to run (default: work-evidence + all declared)\n    --instance <id>       Attribute the run to an agent instance\n    --timeout <seconds>   Stop polling after N seconds (exit 124)\n    --json                Print the run and its gate results as JSON on stdout\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   - Every gate passed\n    20  - A gate failed, timed out, or errored\n    21  - work-evidence found nothing to verify (no commits, no changes)\n    99  - The run produced no verdict (bad verify.yaml, gates skipped, cancelled)\n    124 - --timeout elapsed while the run was still going\n\n  Output (progress on stderr, verdict on stdout):\n    GATE work-evidence PASS (commits=3, uncommitted=2)\n    GATE lint PASS (exit=0, 12.3s)\n    GATE unit FAIL (exit=1, 45.0s)\n    RESULT failed\n\n  Gates run in the worktree's own directory. Gates are skipped (run status 99,\n  never 0) in the checkout the server itself runs from when verify.yaml sets\n  options.skipInPrimaryCheckout, so a 'build' gate cannot replace the assets the\n  live app is serving.\n\n### commandmate verify init\n  Draft .commandmate/verify.yaml from this repository's own CI definitions\n  (Issue #2061).

An existing verify.yaml is the repository's own judgement of\n  what passing means, usually with the reasoning for each gate beside it, so\n  there is no --force: \"throw it away\" is spelled by deleting the file.\n\n  The only verify subcommand that needs no server: it is what you run BEFORE the\n  repository has anything to verify.\n\n  Commands that are found and NOT declared are reported with a reason on stderr\n  (setup, network, release, container, mutating, long-running, multi-line,\n  multi-command, runner-specific, not-a-check, interactive, redundant,\n  unquotable, reserved-id). A gate must be safe to run any number of times, so\n  'npm ci', 'npm publish', 'npm audit' and e2e suites never become gates.\n\n  The draft is a draft: it mirrors what CI already runs, not what the repository\n  considers sufficient. Read it, then run it once and confirm RESULT passed.\n\n### commandmate verify history / commandmate verify show <run-id>\n  Read past verification runs.

Permissions are answered alike\n  (allow this call once), and the Submit/Cancel confirm page, OpenCode V2's\n  questions and whatever the contract withholds are never answered. Omitted,\n  a new grant is recommended and a grant that is on keeps its mode.

After a\n  graceful stop (SIGINT / SIGTERM, e.g. /rebuild or 'commandmate stop') each\n  instance whose grant was live reports why, until that grant's own deadline or\n  the next --enable / --disable (Issue #3730): 'capture --json' autoYes.stopReason\n  = 'server-restart', 'ls' AUTO_YES 'off(restart)', 'instances' AUTO_YES\n  'no(restart)', a 'wait' exit 10 adds a stderr line, and the UI toggle reads\n  \"Released by restart\". Re-enable with --enable --instance <that instance> (a\n  bare --enable arms the default primary). A SIGKILL or a crash records\n  nothing: those grants come back as a plain off.\n\n### commandmate instances <worktree-id> [action] [args]\n  Discover and manage a worktree's agent-instance roster (1 agent, multiple sessions).\n\n  commandmate instances <id>                            # List roster + running/auto-yes status\n  commandmate instances <id> --json                     # JSON output\n  commandmate instances <id> add --agent codex          # Add an instance (auto-generates ID, e.g. codex-2)\n  commandmate instances <id> add --agent codex --alias \"Review\" --id codex-3\n  commandmate instances <id> remove <instance-id>       # Remove from roster\n  commandmate instances <id> remove <instance-id> --kill  # Remove and kill its session\n  commandmate instances <id> alias <instance-id> \"New Name\"\n  commandmate instances <id> kill <instance-id>         # Kill only that instance's session\n\n  See \"Multi-Session\" below for the ID convention and roster semantics.\n\n### commandmate skill <subcommand>\n  Manage official Agent Skills. Every subcommand is a thin client over the same\n  APIs the browser UI uses: the CLI never downloads, extracts, writes or deletes\n  anything itself, and never sends a filesystem path, artifact URL, file list or\n  checksum (the API rejects those outright).\n\n  commandmate skill list [--json] [--prerelease]\n  commandmate skill info <skill-id> [--version <v>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill plan <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--version <v>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill install <skill-id> --worktree <id> --version <exact> [--dry-run] [--yes] [--ack-risk <id>@<version>] [--json]\n  commandmate skill uninstall <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--dry-run] [--yes] [--json]\n  commandmate skill status <skill-id> --worktree <id> [--json]\n\n  Confirmation contract (writes = install / uninstall):\n    - A plan is always built and shown first. --dry-run stops there.\n    - Without a TTY, a write REQUIRES --yes. A missing --yes is refused, never\n      assumed: an environment that cannot prompt must not install silently.\n    - A high-risk Skill additionally requires --ack-risk <skill-id>@<version>\n      with the exact id and version. --yes alone never carries a high-risk\n      install, in a TTY or out of one.\n\n  Exit codes:\n    0   success\n    1   the server or the Catalog could not be reached (retryable)\n    2   invalid arguments, unknown Skill or unknown version\n    11  the worktree refused it (local change, conflict, lock, plan drift)\n    12  the write was never confirmed (no --yes, declined, or missing --ack-risk)\n    13  files changed but the operation needs reconciliation\n\n  --json prints the API response body verbatim on stdout; diagnostics, prompts\n  and errors always go to stderr, so a failed --json run leaves stdout empty.\n\n  'skill status' reports one Skill in one worktree, read from the install\n  receipt on disk. There is no per-worktree listing endpoint yet, so <skill-id>\n  is required.\n\n## Multi-Session (1 agent, multiple sessions)\n\n  A worktree can run several sessions of the same CLI tool concurrently. Each\n  session is an \"instance\" identified by an instance ID:\n    <agent>        - the agent's primary instance (e.g. \"claude\")\n    <agent>-<n>    - an additional instance, n >= 2 (e.g. \"claude-2\", \"claude-3\")\n\n  --instance is accepted by send / wait / respond / capture / auto-yes.\n  send --instance auto-starts the session if it is not already running.\n\n  --instance alone is the recommended way to name a target (Issue #1638). It is\n  the only flag all five commands share: --agent is rejected by 'wait'. A\n  rostered instance already carries its CLI tool (Issue #1629), and an instance\n  id that is itself a tool id resolves to that tool's primary instance even\n  without a roster entry, so '--instance codex' needs no --agent.\n\n  --agent remains accepted by send / respond / capture / auto-yes as the\n  supplement for ad-hoc instances the roster does not know -- notably\n  '--register', which cannot infer the tool from an id like codex-3. Passing an\n  --agent that contradicts the roster is an error (exit 2), not an override.\n\n  The roster (visible in the browser UI's Agent panel) is the list of known\n  instances with aliases and display order. Ad-hoc sessions started via\n  'send --instance' do NOT appear in the roster unless registered:\n    commandmate send <id> \"...\" --instance claude-2 --register\n  Without --register, the session still runs and responds to CLI commands,\n  but it will not show up in the UI sidebar/roster until added there or via\n  'commandmate instances <id> add'.\n\n  Per-instance auto-yes: --instance scopes --auto-yes/--duration/--stop-pattern\n  to that specific session, independent of other instances of the same agent.\n\n  --instance also accepts the ALIAS shown in the ALIAS column of\n  'commandmate instances <id>' and in the browser UI's Agent panel\n  (Issue #2376), e.g. --instance \"Codex 2\". An alias two roster rows answer to\n  is refused with exit 2 and both candidates listed; ids always win over aliases.\n\n  commandmate instances <id>                        # discover valid --instance values\n  commandmate send <id> \"task\" --instance codex-2 --auto-yes\n  commandmate wait <id> --instance codex-2 --timeout 600\n  commandmate capture <id> --instance codex-2\n\n  Asking ANOTHER session something and getting its reply is one command, not\n  three -- and waiting for it is optional ('ask --async' / 'send --reply-to',\n  Issue #2377): see 'commandmate docs --section delegation'.\n\n## All Exit Codes\n\n  0   SUCCESS          - Completed successfully\n  1   DEPENDENCY_ERROR - Server not running\n  2   CONFIG_ERROR     - Validation error (invalid agent, duration, etc.)\n  10  PROMPT_DETECTED  - Prompt detected during wait\n  20  VERIFY_FAILED    - A verification gate failed (verify, wait --verify)\n  21  NOT_STARTED      - Nothing to verify: no commits, no uncommitted changes\n  30  NO_ACTIVE_SESSIONS - interrupt found no running session to interrupt\n  99  UNEXPECTED_ERROR - Unexpected error / resource not found / no verdict\n  124 TIMEOUT          - Wait or verification timeout exceeded\n\n  When one 'wait' covers several worktrees, the reported code is the highest\n  priority one observed: 10 > 20 > 21 > 124.\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n  Server not running:\n    commandmate start --daemon\n    CM_PORT=3011 commandmate ls        # Different port\n\n  Worktree not found:\n    commandmate ls --quiet             # Check registered IDs\n    commandmate sync                   # Sync new worktrees (e.g. after git worktree add)\n    commandmate status                 # Confirm 'ls' and 'status' report the same Port\n                                       # (with several servers running, an exported CM_PORT\n                                       #  points 'ls' at a different one)\n\n  Authentication:\n    CM_AUTH_TOKEN=your-token commandmate ls\n";
