Two bugs were causing "File not found" and "No result file found" errors
when clicking on agent windows in the Ralph Loop wizard:
1. **Linked cases not checked**: The ralph-wizard file endpoints only
looked in `~/claudeman-cases/{name}`, ignoring linked cases stored
in `~/.claudeman/linked-cases.json`. Now all three endpoints check
linked cases first:
- `/api/generate-plan-detailed` (for saving files)
- `/api/cases/:caseName/ralph-wizard/files`
- `/api/cases/:caseName/ralph-wizard/file/:filePath`
2. **Execution optimizer agentType mismatch**: SSE events were sent with
`agentType: 'execution'` but files were saved to folder
`execution-optimizer/`. Fixed to use consistent naming:
- SSE events now use `'execution-optimizer'`
- Frontend typeLabels/typeIcons updated to match
3. **JSON parse errors from control characters**: Enhanced tryParseJSON
to escape ALL control characters (0x00-0x1F), not just newlines.
This fixes "Bad control character in string literal" errors when
Claude's response contains backspace, form feed, or other control chars.

Previously, prompt.md files were only saved when agents completed. This caused "File not found" errors when clicking on running agents in the UI. Now prompts are saved immediately when each agent starts: - Research agent - Analysis subagents (requirements, architecture, testing, risks) - Verification agent - Execution optimizer - Final review agent The result.json is still saved on completion as before.

Problems Fixed
1. Agent files not found for linked cases
When clicking on agent windows in the Ralph Loop wizard, users see "File not found" and "No result file found" errors for all agents.
Root cause: The ralph-wizard file endpoints only looked in
~/claudeman-cases/{name}, ignoring linked cases (external folders linked via "Link Existing").Fix: All three endpoints now check linked cases first:
/api/generate-plan-detailed(for saving files)/api/cases/:caseName/ralph-wizard/files/api/cases/:caseName/ralph-wizard/file/:filePath2. Execution optimizer agentType mismatch
SSE events were sent with
agentType: 'execution'but files were saved to folderexecution-optimizer/.Fix: Consistent naming - SSE events now use
'execution-optimizer', frontend updated to match.3. JSON parse "Bad control character" errors
Root cause: The
tryParseJSONhelper only escaped\n,\r,\tbut Claude's responses can contain other control characters.Fix: Enhanced
tryParseJSONto escape ALL control characters (0x00-0x1F) using proper JSON escaping.4. Prompts not visible while agents are running
Clicking on a running agent showed "File not found" because prompts were only saved on completion.
Fix: Prompts are now saved immediately when each agent starts, not when it completes. This allows viewing prompts while agents are still running.
