Reproduced the failure against a real claude 2.1 in tmux. Two root causes,
both now fixed (the URL was never wrong — claude genuinely emits
`claude.com/cai/oauth/authorize`, so extraction was fine):
1. Submit race (the actual failure). `send_keys` sent the code and Enter
together; for a long real code the Enter is processed before Ink commits the
paste, so nothing submits — the session sits at "Paste code here > ****…",
exactly what the activity log showed. Fix: deliver the code as a bracketed
paste (tmux set-buffer/paste-buffer, new tmux.send_text), let it settle, then
send Enter separately (tmux.send_enter). Verified end-to-end: the separate
Enter submits and claude proceeds to the exchange.
2. Fragile onboarding. A fresh claude shows a theme picker, then the
login-method menu, before any URL — the old blind /login+Enter+Enter only
reached the menu by luck. Fix: start() now reads the pane each pass and reacts
— accept theme/trust/continue prompts, pick the default subscription option on
the login-method menu, and send /login once only when already onboarded at the
REPL.
Also: confirm login by watching ~/.claude.json (where claude stores the account
on Linux) plus a success-text fallback, and fail fast on an "OAuth error /
Press Enter to retry" screen instead of waiting out the poll. Tests updated to
the real TUI screen text. Suite green (200).

Testing showed the wide-window fix captured the full URL, but login still
failed at submit ("login not confirmed"): the old check snapshotted the pane
once after 3s and only matched a few success strings, so an in-progress or
differently-worded exchange read as failure. Two hardening changes:
- login_submit now polls (up to 40s) and confirms by the authoritative signal —
claude's credentials file changing on disk (any of the known locations /
~/.claude/*credential*) — with success-text and clean-exit as fallbacks.
- login_start captures with escape sequences (-e) and accepts only a *complete*
OAuth URL (https:// + client_id + redirect_uri + state). This recovers the
real href when claude renders the link as an OSC-8 hyperlink (whose visible
text can be garbled, e.g. the "ttps://claude.com/cai/..." seen in testing) and
refuses partial/garbled captures. On timeout the error now includes the actual
last screen so a wrong menu/onboarding state is diagnosable.
tmux.capture_pane gains an `escapes` flag. Tests cover URL completeness,
OSC-8 href recovery, and credentials-file confirmation. Suite green (199).

Testing the web login surfaced a truncated authorization URL
(…client_id=9d1c250a-e61b-44d9-88) and a "missing redirect_uri" error: the
login session ran at the default 80 columns, so claude clipped the long URL and
capture-pane read it back cut off.
- Launch the login session with a very wide, tall window (500x50) via new
optional width/height on tmux.new_session, so claude prints the URL on one
unclipped line.
- Harden URL extraction to stop at box-drawing glyphs (U+2500–U+257F) in case
the TUI renders the link flush against a border.
Tests: assert the wide window is requested, and that extraction keeps a full
redirect_uri/PKCE URL intact and strips a trailing box border. Suite green (197).

Two changes so an operator can stand up and authenticate Handler entirely
from the browser, with a self-contained control image.
Bundle executables in the control image (Dockerfile.control)
- Node.js (NodeSource) + the Claude Code CLI, mise (official apt repo), and
forge (git-pkgs/forge, built in a Go stage) join the existing git/tmux/ssh.
No more bring-your-own binaries: live agent spawning, the verification gate,
CI resolution, and the login flow all work out of the box. Installed under
/usr so the /var/lib/handler VOLUME never masks them; mise apt source pinned
to $TARGETARCH for the multi-arch (amd64/arm64) build.
Claude login from the web UI
- New login_start / login_submit command types (migration 0005) drive the
interactive `claude /login` through the same enqueue→worker handoff every
other control action uses — the API container has no claude binary.
- control/login.py opens `claude` in a dedicated tmux session, sends /login,
selects the subscription account, and scrapes the claude.com authorization
URL (tmux.capture_pane, -pJ so a wrapped URL rejoins); a second command feeds
back the pasted code. Fully mockable via the tmux seam.
- API: POST /login/start, POST /login/submit (admin-gated).
- Dashboard: a "Claude Login" pane — a button that starts the flow, embeds the
URL in an iframe (with a new-tab fallback, since claude.com may refuse
framing), and takes the code to finish.
Also un-ignores frontend/lib/ (a broad Python `lib/` rule was swallowing the
UI's own api client + formatters, breaking rebuilds from a fresh clone) and
reconstructs those two source files; rebuilt static export committed.
Tests: control/login unit tests (tmux faked), worker dispatch, and API route
tests. Full suite green (195 tests), ruff clean.
