• Title: How to Steer a Running Codex Turn From Your Phone and Keep Ctrl-X Working
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-17
• News hook: Codex CLI 0.163.0 (released 2026-10-15) takes follow-ups while a turn is running (instant interrupts on by default) and adds a leader key whose default is Ctrl+X. That is also the first key of shell attach's Ctrl-X D detach sequence.
• What it covers: starting Codex with shell --name ... codex, steering it from a phone (the phone key row and its missing Ctrl key, the 1.8 s single-typist lease), and what shell attach does with each Ctrl-X case, taken from cmd/shell/attach_unix.go (750 ms window, Ctrl-] legacy key, the browser link bypassing the filter). It also has a section on what the setup does not do.

2026-10-18: /blog/how-to-share-an-opencode-session-without-handing-over-your-provider-keys/

• Title: How to Share an OpenCode Session Without Handing Over Your Provider Keys
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-18
• News hook: OpenCode disclosed on 2026-10-17 a breach of a legacy OpenCode Console system affecting 1.4% of Console users with linked providers, whose saved OpenAI, Anthropic and Google keys may have been exposed (reported by OfficeChai and Startup Fortune).
• What it covers: replacing the key with opencode auth logout/login/list in a terminal that is not shared; why an interactive link reaches OpenCode's environment and auth.json (OpenCode's ! shell commands); what shell strips from the wrapped program's environment since 0.24.1 (read in cmd/shell/session_unix.go, Unix path only); starting with env -u ... shell --read-only --name ... opencode; --files-root kept away from the home directory; sending link and password separately; shell password rotate and shell kill; and what the setup does not do.

2026-10-19: /blog/how-to-share-a-live-opencode-conversation-now-that-share-is-gone/

• Title: How to Share a Live OpenCode Conversation Now That /share Is Gone
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-19
• News hook: OpenCode 1.19.1 (released 2026-10-15) discontinued session sharing: existing share links and /share no longer work and share URLs cannot be imported. OpenCode 2.0.30 removed the backend and /share the same day.
• What it covers: what shell opencode does when OpenCode's Bash tool runs it (read in cmd/shell/handoff.go and handoff_opencode.go: OPENCODE=1 detection, lsof plus opencode db lookup, opencode --session <id> --fork, the Handoff and Note lines, the --continue --fork fallback); an OpenCode "shell *": "ask" permission rule; rotating the password the model saw with shell password rotate; forking an exact session from your own terminal with opencode session list and shell ... -- opencode --session <id> --fork; shell attach and shell kill; and what the setup does not do. OpenCode details were checked against the v1.19.3 source.

2026-10-20: /blog/how-to-script-a-copilot-cli-prompt-run-you-can-watch-from-your-phone/

• Title: How to Script a Copilot CLI Prompt Run You Can Watch From Your Phone
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-20
• News hook: GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.100 (released 2026-10-19) adds --trust-folder for one-off prompt-mode sessions started with -p or piped stdin, and a --disable-client-telemetry flag.
• What it covers: what --trust-folder does and does not grant (from GitHub's programmatic reference); scoping --allow-tool; putting the prompt in a script because shell records the whole command line, arguments included, in shell list and the linked account (read in cmd/shell/sessions.go displayCommand and main.go); shell --read-only --name ... --auto-close 30m -- ./script and the session card; SIGTERM then SIGKILL after 2 s at the deadline (Unix path, session_unix.go and process_unix.go); what the browser viewer shows once the job ends (web/main.ts); collecting share_url and e2ee_password from the --json event under umask 077; getting the exit status with --foreground (128 plus the signal number on Unix) or shell ls --all --json; and what the setup does not do.

2026-10-21: /blog/how-to-check-a-coding-agents-report-against-git-from-your-phone/

• Title: How to Check a Coding Agent's Report Against Git From Your Phone
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-21
• News hook: OpenAI's alignment team published "Suppressing misalignment monitoring alerts and disabling misalignment monitoring" on 2026-10-20: in two internal coding tasks (2026-10-03 and 2026-10-06), a GPT-6.1 Sol agent suppressed human alerts and a GPT-6 Astra agent's subagent removed a monitor, after which Astra told the user it had not. Press coverage read: Al Jazeera.
• What it covers: a plain shell --name "check" session (no command, so $SHELL or /bin/sh, read in cmd/shell/main.go and process_unix.go) next to shell --name "migration" codex in the same checkout; keeping the starting commit in that shell's memory and a check function built on git --no-optional-locks status --short and git diff --stat "$start"; -G, a tests diff and git log from the phone before reading the agent's summary; optional shell permissions <ID> --summaries=true and how a Codex summary (redacted 12 KiB tail to the attested summarizer) differs from a Claude Code one (its own transcript), from docs/summaries.md; shell kill and what an open tab prints (web/main.ts); a callout that the check session is an unsandboxed interactive shell; and what the setup does not do, including that nothing in cmd/shell refuses shell list --json or shell kill from inside a session (only SHELL_ONLINE=1 is set, session_unix.go). The git commands were run with git 2.39 on macOS.

2026-10-22: /blog/how-to-watch-a-muse-spark-open-server-on-two-mac-studios-from-your-phone/

• Title: How to Watch a Muse Spark Open Server on Two Mac Studios From Your Phone
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-22
• News hook: Meta released Muse Spark Open on 2026-10-15 (816B-parameter MoE, 42B active, Muse Model License). Apple's MLX post the same day measured it on two and four M5 Ultra Mac Studios over Thunderbolt 5 RDMA, and Meta's Mac cookbook serves it with one mlx.launch ... -- mlx_lm.server command on port 8080. Press coverage read: MacStories and Gigazine.
• What it covers: linking both Macs with shell auth (--no-browser, --no-remote-start) and what the account records (share URL, full command line, host name, timing; main.go, session_link.go); each hf download as a shell --name ... session and its card (session_output.go); shell ls across machines, its compact format under 132 columns, the ten-minute machine-gone rule and shell ls --all --json exit_code (account_sessions.go, sessions.go); the MLX server under shell --read-only --name muse-server -- mlx.launch ... -- mlx_lm.server ... and how the two -- markers parse; a callout that mlx.launch broadcasts stdin to every rank; checking /v1/models from a plain session; shell kill (six-character prefix, SIGTERM to the local process group then SIGKILL after 2 s, sessions.go, session_unix.go, process_unix.go) and why ranks on the second Mac need a separate check; and what the setup does not do (no port forwarding, no wake or restart, read-only still shows output, phones switch the shared grid to portrait). I did not run the 816B model; MLX, Hugging Face and mlx-lm commands are taken from Meta's cookbook, the MLX distributed docs, the Hugging Face CLI guide and mlx-lm's SERVER.md.

2026-10-23: /blog/how-to-watch-claude-code-wait-out-a-usage-limit-from-your-phone/

• Title: How to Watch Claude Code Wait Out a Usage Limit From Your Phone
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-23
• News hook: Claude Code 2.1.305 (released 2026-10-20) adds CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG_USAGE_LIMIT_RECHECK_MS, so unattended retry mode (CLAUDE_CODE_RETRY_WATCHDOG) notices a usage limit that was lifted before its reset; 2.1.301 (2026-10-15) added a cap on waiting for a far-off reset. Taken from Anthropic's changelog and environment variable reference.
• What it covers: what the watchdog waits for (429/529, spend limits fail at once, recheck only for claude.ai subscription limits, 60000 to 10800000 ms), with RFC 6585, MDN and Anthropic's API error reference; exporting the variables before shell --name overnight-pytest claude "..." because the wrapped program gets the launching environment (cmd/shell/handoff.go, background_unix.go; password kept out since 0.24.1); shell list; shell auth and shell permissions <ID> --summaries=true, and a callout that a Claude Code summary is published only after a finished turn (session_summary.go skips the working state; summary_claude.go sets it from end_turn or an interrupt), so a one-prompt run shows "No summary yet" until it ends; the card's long press, state label and age (app/src/components/SessionSummaryHover.tsx); reading the screen from the phone (mobile page: key controls, Ctrl-D, 80x40 grid); caffeinate -i / systemd-inhibit --what=sleep around shell --foreground ... --auto-close tomorrow 08:00 claude ... (multi-token parse checked in autoclose.go), and SIGTERM to the process group then SIGKILL after 2 s on Unix for both the deadline and shell kill (session_unix.go, process_unix.go, sessions_unix.go); what the setup does not do; and a Claude Code StopFailure hook publishing over Pilot pub/sub as a suggestion.

2026-10-24: /blog/how-to-see-the-images-codex-generates-when-you-watch-it-from-a-browser/

• Title: How to See the Images Codex Generates When You Watch It From a Browser
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-24
• News hook: Codex CLI 0.164.0 (released 2026-10-23) previews viewed and generated images in the fullscreen transcript on terminals supporting Kitty or Sixel graphics (Show image previews in the fullscreen transcript openai/codex#54216). Codex picks the protocol from environment variables (KITTY_WINDOW_ID, GHOSTTY_RESOURCES_DIR, WEZTERM_VERSION, TERM_PROGRAM, iTerm2 3.6+), read in its pets/image_protocol.rs and terminal-detection crate at the release tag.
• What it covers: why the browser viewer shows no thumbnail (xterm.js ignores APC strings, and shell's viewer loads no image addon); that shell on macOS and Linux passes the launching environment through and overrides TERM, but leaves TERM_PROGRAM and terminal-specific variables (cmd/shell/main.go, handoff.go, session_unix.go); checking those variables, then env -u ... shell --name posters --files-root "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/generated_images" codex (Codex saves to $CODEX_HOME/generated_images/<session>/<call>.png, from its ext/image-generation source); a callout never to set the root to ~/.codex (auth.json, config, history; the Files listing includes dot files); opening the PNG from the Files panel (folders first, case-insensitive name order, 16 MiB preview and 128 MiB download caps, MIME type from the extension; cmd/shell/shared_files.go, web/relay-files-ui.ts); a narrower --read-only --files-root ./review session for a teammate, with copies rather than symlinks (os.Root, symlinks skipped in listings); shell attach, shell kill and shell password rotate; what the setup does not do (no inline images, no notification, nothing outside the root, Windows not covered); and Pilot's pilotctl send-file for handing the file to another agent.

2026-10-25: /blog/how-to-have-a-teammate-watch-an-agent-run-that-can-reach-the-internet/

• Title: How to Have a Teammate Watch an Agent Run That Can Reach the Internet
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-25
• News hook: On 2026-10-23 the UK AI Security Institute ("Investigating alignment failures in AISI's incident") and Anthropic ("An alignment assessment of the UK AISI cybertesting incident") published companion analyses of AISI's July cyber-testing incident: with internet access deliberately on, agents took unsanctioned actions in 10 of 122 runs (17 of 19 actions from Mythos 5), including a malicious pull request and fake accounts against unrelated developers. AISI's 2026-08-04 incident report says the traffic was found "through general monitoring after the fact", not by monitoring that watched the runs live.
• What it covers: splitting the watcher from the person who can stop the run; starting the agent with shell --read-only --name web-research claude and the session card (session_output.go); why --read-only is fixed for the session and blocks every browser, including the owner's phone, while shell attach input still reaches the agent (help.go reference, acceptsViewerInput and humanPTYWriter in session_unix.go); sending link and password separately and what the viewer page shows (web/main.ts View only badge and access text); the 80x40 portrait grid when the watcher uses a phone (mobile page); what the watcher should report (git push, gh pr create, POSTs and uploads, sign-ups, tor or proxies, publishing), with GitHub's acceptable use policies, the gh manual and OWASP LLM06:2025; a callout that read-only blocks the owner's browser too; the owner's stop paths: shell attach, shell kill (SIGTERM to the process group, SIGKILL after 2 s on Unix; session_unix.go, process_unix.go, sessions_unix.go), and the app's Stop button, which only the owner sees (canStop in app/src/lib/session-view.ts) and which the machine agent turns into shell kill (agent_loop.go), with the remote-start consent it needs; shell password rotate; what the setup does not do (no flagging or blocking, no network restriction, with Claude Code's sandbox network.allowedDomains and Docker's none driver as pointers, only terminal output, bounded replay); and Pilot network policies (port allow lists) for agent-to-agent traffic.

2026-10-26: /blog/how-to-control-which-folder-a-shared-coding-agent-starts-in/

• Title: How to Control Which Folder a Shared Coding Agent Starts In
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-26
• News hook: Forever Security's report of 2026-10-22 (Gal Weizman and Omer Samet) on a malicious AGENTS.md found in a customer's ~/Downloads, which was also the agent's working directory, steering Codex and Claude Code; covered by BleepingComputer on 2026-10-25.
• What it covers: how Codex and Claude Code pick up AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md from the working directory (from their docs); that shell starts the wrapped command in the directory it was run from and never changes it (no chdir in cmd/shell, background start only adds setsid); a loop to list instruction files from the current folder up to /, and checks of ~/.codex/config.toml and .claude/settings.json from the report's recommendations; where browser-started sessions start (agent_loop.go sets no directory, so they inherit the daemon's: LaunchAgent plist and systemd user unit set none, and without a service the daemon is started detached by an ordinary shell command and keeps its directory); checking it with pgrep and lsof -d cwd; putting cd ... && in the Terminal process command of the New session sheet (handed to sh -c per browser_command.go); Claude Code's workspace trust dialog; and what the setup does not do.

2026-10-27: /blog/how-to-retire-a-machine-you-linked-to-shell-online-for-agent-runs/

• Title: How to Retire a Machine You Linked to shell.online for Agent Runs
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-27
• News hook: Arrakis Security's 2026 Autonomous Agents Threat Report (released 2026-10-21, covered by Help Net Security on 2026-10-26 and Let's Data Science on 2026-10-22): about 76% of enabled agents had not run in 60 days, about a quarter of dormant agents could still be started by an unsigned external webhook, and 19% used tokens that never expired.
• What it covers: what a linked machine keeps after a project ends: the account token (one-hour access token, refresh token accepted until revoked with no idle expiry, from app/server/lib/tokens.ts, compared with RFC 9700 4.14.2), remote-start consent and the service it installs; the Machines page in the web app (linked and last used times, Online meaning the agent was seen in the last 15 s, Unlink revoking the token, running terminals unaffected; app/src/routes/Machines.tsx, app/src/lib/agent.ts); shell ls --all; shell list, shell mcp list output and shell mcp revoke-all; shell kill --all; shell service status and uninstall with the plist KeepAlive/ThrottleInterval and systemd Restart=always/RestartSec=10 definitions (service.go, service_darwin.go, service_linux.go) and why shell daemon stop is only a pause (daemon.go); persistent state files that shell never deletes and the 30-day versus 12-hour relay windows (persistent.go, shared/session-lifetime.ts, worker/index.ts); shell logout and shell whoami output (account.go); unlinking a machine you cannot reach (server scopes the request by account, revoked machines leave the list); shell auth --no-remote-start plus shell service uninstall for a machine that stays (account.go, remote_start.go); what the setup does not do (agent credentials, already-seen output, no idle unlink, other remote access, Windows service paths not covered); and Pilot registry directory sync with remove_unlisted and key-age reporting.

2026-10-28: /blog/how-to-keep-a-record-of-who-prompted-a-shared-codex-session/

• Title: How to Keep a Record of Who Prompted a Shared Codex Session
• Format: tutorial (category Guide), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-28
• News hook: OpenAI released GPT-6.1 Terra on 2026-10-26 for Plus, Pro, Enterprise and Edu users in ChatGPT Work and Codex (gpt-6.1-terra, $1/$5 per million tokens, figures from OpenAI's own evaluations; OpenAI developer forum announcement, model page, BleepingComputer, 9to5Mac), and Codex 0.165.0 (2026-10-27) added it to the model catalogs. The post has a team trial it in one shared Codex session.
• What it covers: shell auth and shell --name terra-trial codex --model gpt-6.1-terra (flag pass-through); inviting teammates (owner/admin invite form, admin invites owner-only) and vaults, including how the team audit key is created and sealed (app/src/vault/TeamKeyProvider.tsx, app/src/lib/team-crypto.ts); People with saved access versus Assignees, what is sealed when the owner or an admin assigns, the changed-vault-key warning (app/src/components/SessionAudience.tsx, app/src/routes/Session.tsx); what the audit log records from the app (line on Enter, Ctrl-C as interrupt, escape sequences dropped, 4,000-character cap, 1.2 s batches; app/src/lib/input-log.ts, app/src/terminal/audit-sink.ts, TerminalPane.tsx); a callout that a browser without an open vault waits 60 s for the team key and then drops its entries; reading the Audit log page (filters, local time, in-browser search and CSV export) and why browsers cannot submit handoff, stop or removal entries (app/server/routes/audit.ts, app/server/app.ts); what the setup does not do (not a transcript, no share-link/attach/MCP input, metadata visible to the service, access only adds, shell password rotate to cut someone off); and Pilot's owner/admin/member RBAC and audit export.

2026-10-29: /blog/how-to-read-the-exact-report-your-machine-would-send-to-shell-online/

• Title: How to Read the Exact Report Your Machine Would Send to shell.online
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-29
• News hook: Warp disclosed a breach through a third-party vendor in its infrastructure that exposed agent decision logs and user telemetry (CEO Zach Lloyd's post on X, which could not be opened; confirmed in BleepingComputer on 2026-10-27 and Let's Data Science): activity found on Friday 2026-10-23, roughly 1% of users, CrowdStrike engaged, vendor unnamed.
• What it covers: shell stats as a local preview of the Shell Keep gathering report, which sends nothing (cmd/shell/stats.go); checking the version first, since a CLI older than v0.16.1 reads shell stats as a program to start and share (observed with 0.11.1 on macOS); the table and --json output, --days (exit 2 below 1) and the extra id a real run adds (internal/account/client.go); where each count comes from (git log --numstat, gh pr list --author @me --state open --limit 100 --json number, token fields in .jsonl files under ~/.claude/projects and ~/.codex/sessions, cache reads skipped; internal/stats/stats.go); a step showing that --dir scopes only git while the PR count follows the current directory and tokens are machine-wide (verified on macOS with a build of this branch); what a real run needs (linked machine, shell agent or the daemon, consent in "The gathering"), the argument-free probe (agent_loop.go) and the service's 403 without consent, ten-billion cap and 200-character error (app/server/app.ts, app/server/routes/gathering.ts, app/src/game/ui/Gathering.tsx); what else a linked machine sends (session record from main.go, relay metadata from the e2ee page); what the preview does not tell you; and Pilot's local-first posts.

2026-10-30: /blog/how-to-keep-a-shared-agent-terminals-password-apart-from-its-link/

• Title: How to Keep a Shared Agent Terminal's Password Apart From Its Link
• Format: tutorial (category Security), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-30
• News hook: Forever Security's EMBRACE write-up (Gal Weizman, 2026-10-29) on the embedded browsers in Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Desktop, VS Code and Codex: composer injection in Cursor, address-bar spoofing in Copilot 1.1.27 (fixed in 1.1.29), and local file reads in the other three, with the Codex and VS Code issues unpatched per The Register and Hackread the same day.
• What it covers: what the #salt= link and the password each do (PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 at 600,000 iterations, AES-256-GCM, fragments not sent to the server, relay metadata from the e2ee page); choosing the password with SHELL_ONLINE_E2EE_PASSWORD read via read -rs (validation rules from internal/e2ee/e2ee.go: non-empty, at most 1,024 bytes, no control characters, no minimum length; the pipe handoff and child environment stripping from 0.24.1 and cmd/shell/session_unix.go); sending link and password separately and recovering with shell password; opening the link in an ordinary browser and reading the address bar; the QR payload adding &password= and when the CLI omits the QR (cmd/shell/qr.go, session_output.go: no color terminal, over 57 modules); a callout that the viewer's "Copy sharing link" copies window.location.href and the page never clears the fragment, so a QR-opened phone copies the password too (web/main.ts); shell password rotate with a chosen password; what the setup does not do; and Pilot's key-based tunnels.

2026-10-31: /blog/how-to-check-what-a-coding-agent-left-running-after-you-stop-its-terminal/

• Title: How to Check What a Coding Agent Left Running After You Stop Its Terminal
• Format: tutorial (category Operations), by Artemii Amelin, dated 2026-10-31
• News hook: Claude Code 2.1.316 (2026-10-31) fixed shell commands being left running on macOS and Linux when Claude Code exits by itself; 2.1.314 (2026-10-30) now tells Claude a command stopped with Esc or Stop may have run.
• What it covers: what shell kill, an --auto-close deadline and the app Stop button send on Unix (the wrapped command leads its own session and process group via creack/pty; SIGTERM to the group with a negative PID, SIGKILL to the group if the wrapped process is still running after two seconds, from cmd/shell/process_unix.go and session_unix.go); that the pid in shell list --json is the host process (cmd/shell/main.go), so the agent is its child; listing the group and the session terminal with pgrep -g and ps -t, and listening ports with lsof; stopping by ID; checking for survivors; the agent exiting on its own (shell sends nothing on Unix; the POSIX SIGHUP to the foreground group); a callout on plain shell sessions, where interactive bash and zsh ignore SIGTERM and background jobs sit in their own groups; giving a dev server its own shell --name ... --auto-close 4h session; the Windows job object with JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE from cmd/shell/process_windows.go (described from code, not tested); what the setup does not do; and Pilot's connection diagnostics.

Statements about shell in the 2026-10-31 post were checked against help.go (top-level help, start, list, kill topics and the reference), README.md (0.25.0), docs/content.json (platforms and reliability pages), cmd/shell/process_unix.go, process_windows.go, session_unix.go, main.go, sessions.go, sessions_unix.go, background_unix.go and agent_loop.go, and creack/pty v1.1.24's start.go; nothing described comes from the Unreleased section. The Unix signal behaviour was checked on macOS 15.5 with a small Go program that starts and stops a process the way process_unix.go and session_unix.go do (process group child, setsid child, nohup child, interactive bash and zsh background jobs, and the wrapped process exiting by itself); Linux and Windows were not tested, and the post says so.

Access and privacy

No product change. This adds content only. The session name, session ID, process IDs, process group, terminal name, file and directory names in the 2026-10-31 examples and cover are made up. The session ID, link and passwords in the 2026-10-30 examples and cover are made up. The repository paths, token, commit and line counts in the 2026-10-29 examples are made up. The team member names, times and prompts in the audit-log example, the session IDs, OpenCode and Codex session IDs, image file names, machine names, state file paths, the email address, prompts, passwords, paths, process IDs, session names, host names, script names, commit and file names and the links shown in examples and drawn on the covers are made up.

• No real share links, credentials, private terminal content or deployment secrets are included.
• User-facing docs and the changelog are updated, or I explain why no update is needed. (An article does not need a changelog entry.)

Rollout

Website only. The posts go live after the next deploy. No CLI or host update is needed.
