* chore: remove SSH handshake secret residuals and fix agent memory
Removes three artifacts left behind by the #1274 removal of
OPENSHELL_SSH_HANDSHAKE_SECRET, then corrects a sweep of stale and
inaccurate notes in .claude/agent-memory/arch-doc-writer/MEMORY.md
that were discovered during the audit.
Artifact removal (Refs OS-174):
- openshell.spec: stale comment claiming init-gateway-env.sh generates
an SSH handshake secret
- e2e/with-podman-gateway.sh: dead podman secret rm for
openshell-handshake-<id>, which is never created since #1274
Agent memory corrections:
- ssh_tunnel.rs no longer exists; replaced by ssh_sessions.rs
- Object types list was missing service_endpoint and provider_profile
- Pre-exec chain now includes harden_child_process() and uses the
linux::prepare()/enforce() two-phase pattern on Linux
- CLI SSH function list had nonexistent sandbox_rsync; corrected to
actual exported functions
- ExecSandbox is in grpc/sandbox.rs (not grpc.rs) and operates over
a supervisor relay DuplexStream, not a direct TCP connection
- resolve_ssh_gateway() moved to openshell-core/src/forward.rs
- SSH transport note rewrote: NSSH1 is an OCSF-only label (not a live
protocol preface); actual path is ForwardTcp -> DuplexStream ->
RelayStream -> Unix socket; access gated by CreateSshSession token;
TLS follows endpoint scheme (https:// = mTLS, http:// = plaintext;
Podman driver does not yet inject mTLS client materials)
- CLI flag note was self-contradictory; corrected to --gateway-endpoint
with resolution priority chain
* fix(vm): collapse nested if blocks to satisfy clippy::collapsible_if
Three nested if blocks in connect_local_container_engine() were
flagged by clippy after #1370. Collapse to single if-let chains
using && as suggested.
Move EdgeAuthInterceptor from openshell-cli to openshell-core so the TUI
can use it without a circular dependency. The TUI now checks gateway
metadata for OIDC auth mode, loads the stored bearer token, and injects
it into gRPC requests via the shared interceptor.
When switching gateways, the TUI dispatches on auth_mode to build either
an mTLS or OIDC-authenticated channel. Expired tokens surface a clear
error directing users to re-authenticate with `openshell gateway login`.
Clippy's collapsible_if lint fails `mise run rust:lint` on main because
of the nested `if let Ok(..) { if ping().is_ok() { .. } }` pattern in
`connect_local_container_engine`. Introduced by 44e843ed
("feat(vm): fall back to Podman socket when Docker is unavailable",
#1370). Rewrite both blocks using `&&` let-chains.
Make --tls-client-ca optional and make client certificates always
optional when a CA is configured. This decouples HTTPS encryption
from mTLS authentication, allowing mTLS and OIDC bearer tokens to
coexist as parallel authentication mechanisms.
When --tls-client-ca is provided, client certificates are validated
against the CA when presented but never required. Clients may connect
with or without a certificate — authentication is handled at the
application layer (e.g. OIDC).
Two TLS modes are now supported:
- HTTPS with optional mTLS (--tls-client-ca provided)
- HTTPS-only (--tls-client-ca omitted)
The --disable-gateway-auth flag is preserved for backward
compatibility but is now a no-op. The allow_unauthenticated field
has been removed from TlsConfig. The Helm chart conditionally
includes the client-ca volume and env var based on whether
clientCaSecretName is configured.
Add a dedicated page documenting how to run the OpenShell gateway as a
container using docker run, docker-compose, or podman, without the
system package manager installer.
This is useful for users on immutable OS distributions (Fedora CoreOS,
bootc-based images, Silverblue) where the standard install.sh path is
not appropriate, and for container-first environments.
Covers a quick-start with TLS disabled (localhost-bound), a full mTLS
setup using the gateway's generate-certs subcommand, a docker-compose
example, and a Podman variant.
Closes the gap raised in #1285.

* fix(sandbox): remove DNS resolution from mechanistic mapper to prevent data exfiltration
The mechanistic mapper resolved denied hostnames via DNS to check whether
they mapped to private IPs (for populating allowed_ips in proposals).
This leaked the denied hostname through DNS queries even though the HTTP
connection was blocked by policy — a data exfiltration vector.
Remove resolve_allowed_ips_if_private() entirely. Proposals no longer
include allowed_ips. If a user applies a proposed rule and the host
resolves to a private IP, the proxy's SSRF defense denies the connection.
That denial flows back through the aggregator, and the user can then
explicitly configure allowed_ips in their policy. This two-step flow is
also more explicit about private IP access, which is desirable given #1245.

The VM driver resolves sandbox images from a local container engine

The nftables log statement requires CONFIG_NFT_LOG, which was not
included in the VM guest kernel config. Without it, nft rejects
rules containing the log keyword with "No such file or directory".
On Linux non-root hosts, virtiofs maps guest root to the host user,
so chown inside the VM is denied. This causes the init script to
abort under set -e, preventing the sandbox from starting.
Make the chown best-effort: if it fails, log a warning and continue.
The supervisor's own filesystem preparation handles ownership for the
paths that matter, so the sandbox works correctly without it.
This is a pragmatic workaround — anything that would break due to
the failed chown will still break, just later and with a clearer
error rather than a cryptic boot failure. In practice the sandbox
functions normally because the supervisor sets up its own working
directories.

* refactor!(auth): drop SSH handshake secret in favor of mTLS
The OPENSHELL_SSH_HANDSHAKE_SECRET / x-sandbox-secret mechanism was
misnamed: it does not authenticate SSH (which flows over the
RelayStream gRPC RPC and is gated by mTLS plus supervisor Unix-socket
permissions). It only gated a small set of sandbox-to-gateway
control-plane RPCs, and production deployments already enforce mTLS
on that channel — so the shared secret was redundant.
Replace the secret check with an mTLS-presence marker. Sandbox-class
methods (ReportPolicyStatus, PushSandboxLogs,
GetSandboxProviderEnvironment, SubmitPolicyAnalysis, GetSandboxConfig,
GetInferenceBundle) accept callers without a Bearer token; the gRPC
mTLS handshake is the trust boundary. Dual-auth methods treat
Bearer-present as full-scope CLI access and Bearer-absent as
sandbox-restricted scope via validate_sandbox_caller_update.
Drops the secret from all drivers (K8s, Podman, VM), the sandbox gRPC
interceptor, the Helm chart (values + pre-install hook + StatefulSet
env), the RPM bootstrap script, the man pages, and the
debug-openshell-cluster skill. Also removes the never-read
ssh_handshake_skew_secs flag and config field.
BREAKING CHANGE: --ssh-handshake-secret / OPENSHELL_SSH_HANDSHAKE_SECRET
and --ssh-handshake-skew-secs / OPENSHELL_SSH_HANDSHAKE_SKEW_SECS are
removed from the gateway, sandbox, and all driver binaries. The
openshell-ssh-handshake K8s Secret is no longer managed by the chart;
operators may delete the orphan. Deployments using
--disable-gateway-auth must enforce caller authentication at the
fronting proxy, since the gateway no longer validates a per-request
secret on sandbox-class methods.
Refs OS-174.
* docs(auth): scrub residual SSH handshake secret references
Sweep across docs, e2e scripts, the Podman driver README/NETWORKING
notes, the RPM/Helm/setup guides, the gateway man page, and RFC 0003
to remove instructions and examples that still referenced
OPENSHELL_SSH_HANDSHAKE_SECRET / --ssh-handshake-secret /
ssh_handshake_skew_secs. The mechanism is gone; nothing should still
suggest setting it. Negative-assertion regression tests are kept so
the env var cannot silently be re-introduced.
* test(drivers): drop SSH handshake secret negative-assertion tests
The supporting code, env vars, CLI flags, and config plumbing are
gone — these tests asserted absence of strings that no longer have
any path to being set. Remove the guards from the Docker, Podman,
Kubernetes, and VM driver test modules.
h2 connection errors during sandbox deletion are expected — the
supervisor gRPC stream is torn down when the sandbox is removed.
Downgrade these from ERROR/WARN to DEBUG so they don't pollute
gateway logs during normal operations.

* fix(cli): cp-style sandbox download and workspace-boundary check
`openshell sandbox download` produced a directory at the host destination
instead of writing the source bytes as a regular file, and did not refuse
sandbox-side paths that resolved outside `/sandbox` (only `creds.json` was
rejected, by filesystem policy rather than by an explicit check).
Mirrors the cp-style design from the upload-side fixes (#667 / #694 and
#885 / #952): destination resolution now respects trailing slashes and
existing-directory destinations, single-file sources land as regular files
via a staged extraction and atomic rename, and the function delegates the
SSH tar stream to a shared helper. Adds an explicit lexical
workspace-boundary check on the sandbox-side source — required on the
download side because filesystem policy alone is not a substitute for an
explicit check when crossing the trust boundary in the leak direction.

* fix(cli): canonicalise sandbox download path remotely and quote tar member
The lexical check in `validate_sandbox_source_path` clears any path whose
components stay under `/sandbox` after `.` and `..` are folded out, but it
cannot see symlinks. A workspace-relative symlink such as
`/sandbox/etc-link -> /etc` lets `openshell sandbox download <name>
/sandbox/etc-link/passwd /tmp/passwd` slip through, then `tar -C
/sandbox/etc-link passwd` follows the link on the sandbox side and
streams `/etc/passwd` back to the host.
Add `canonicalize_sandbox_source_path` which runs `realpath -e --` over
SSH and rejects the result unless it still equals `/sandbox` or starts
with `/sandbox/`. The lexical guard stays as a cheap fail-fast for
obviously-bad inputs, and the rest of the download flow now uses the
canonical path everywhere a tar invocation or probe might dereference a
symlink.
While editing the single-file branch, also add the `--` separator before
the basename in `tar cf - -C <parent> -- <name>`. Without it, a sandbox
file whose basename starts with `-` (e.g. `--checkpoint-action=...`) is
parsed by GNU tar as an option rather than a member, which at best
fails the wrap and at worst triggers tar option behaviour. The directory
branch passes literal `.` and is unaffected.
Cover both fixes with pure-function tests: `is_under_sandbox_workspace`
gets accept/reject pairs (the same predicate the post-realpath
validator uses) and the new `build_single_file_tar_cmd` helper asserts
the `--` separator and shell escaping survive any future refactor.

* chore(cli): drop redundant tempfile dev-dependency entry
`tempfile` was promoted from `[dev-dependencies]` to `[dependencies]`
once the cp-style single-file download path started using
`TempDir::new_in` from production code. The original `[dev-dependencies]`
line stayed behind by accident — entries under `[dependencies]` are
already available to test compilation, so the second declaration is
dead weight.

* test(cli): add E2E coverage for sandbox download paths
Adds four end-to-end tests for `openshell sandbox download` so the
happy path and both Codex regressions have explicit coverage:
* `sandbox_download_file_only` — seeds a single file via the new
`SandboxGuard::exec` harness helper and pulls it back, exercising
`sandbox_sync_down_file` without an upload phase.
* `sandbox_download_directory_only` — seeds a small directory tree and
pulls it recursively, exercising `sandbox_sync_down_directory`.
* `sandbox_download_rejects_symlinks_pointing_outside_workspace` —
regression for the high-severity finding. Plants three escape shapes
(`/sandbox/etc-link -> /etc`, `/sandbox/passwd-link -> /etc/passwd`,
and a path with a symlinked component `/sandbox/etc-link/passwd`) and
asserts all three are refused with a workspace-boundary error before
any tar streams. Also checks the host destination stays empty so a
silent leak would surface.
* `sandbox_download_handles_dash_leading_basename` — regression for the
medium-severity finding. Seeds a file named `--checkpoint-action=evil`
and verifies it downloads with byte-for-byte contents, proving the
`--` separator stops tar parsing the basename as an option.
The harness gains a single new method, `SandboxGuard::exec`, that wraps
`openshell sandbox exec --name <name> --no-tty -- <argv>`. Existing
tests preferred the upload path to populate sandbox state, but the
regression cases need to plant filesystem state the upload flow cannot
produce (symlinks, files whose basenames clap would otherwise reject).

* docs(cli): note cp-style destination and workspace boundary on download
`openshell sandbox download` now refuses any source path that resolves
outside `/sandbox` (lexically or through a symlink), and the
single-file branch follows `cp`-style placement rules. Document both
so users hitting the workspace-boundary error or the
"land at exact path vs land inside dir" decision can self-serve.

* test(cli): tolerate miette line-wrapping in symlink-rejection assertions
`sandbox_download_rejects_symlinks_pointing_outside_workspace` matched
the substring `"outside the sandbox workspace"` against the CLI's error
output. The check is correct in spirit but fragile in practice: miette
wraps long single-line errors across multiple lines at terminal width
and inserts a `│ ` continuation marker, so the substring breaks across
the wrap and the test fails even though the canonicalisation step
correctly refused the source.
Split the match into three short markers — `resolves to`, `outside the`,
`sandbox workspace` — each guaranteed to fit on one wrapped line. The
combined check is stricter than the original (it now requires evidence
that the remote `realpath -e` step actually ran, not just the boundary
refusal) without inheriting the wrap fragility.

* feat(policy): plumb chunk_ids and rejection_reason through proposal pipeline
Prereq plumbing for the agent revise-and-resubmit loop. Two narrow
additive proto changes unblock the upcoming /wait endpoint (#1092),
prover validation badge (#1097), and reject --guidance surfaces (#1098).
- SubmitPolicyAnalysisResponse: add accepted_chunk_ids so the in-sandbox
agent gets handles to watch its proposals. Surfaced through the typed
grpc_client wrapper and policy.local's POST /v1/proposals 202 body.
Closes#1094.
- PolicyChunk + StoredDraftChunk + DraftChunkPayload: add
validation_result (gateway prover verdict, populated by #1097) and
rejection_reason (operator free-form text). Both plain strings; no
enums, no parsing on the read path. Closes#1096.
- RejectDraftChunk now persists the existing reason field into the
chunk's rejection_reason so it round-trips back to the agent via
GetDraftPolicy. UndoDraftChunk clears it on the way back to pending
so consumers cannot read a stale guidance string from a prior reject
-> re-approve -> undo cycle.
Whole surface stays gated behind agent_policy_proposals_enabled. Two
focused tests cover the round-trip and the undo-clears guarantee.

* feat(sandbox): add /v1/proposals/{id} and /wait long-poll to policy.local
The agent feedback channel back from policy.local. Two new routes let
the in-sandbox agent learn its proposal's outcome on a single blocking
HTTP call — zero LLM tokens during the wait.
- GET /v1/proposals/{chunk_id} returns the chunk's current state in one
gateway call.
- GET /v1/proposals/{chunk_id}/wait?timeout=<s> blocks until the chunk
transitions out of pending. Default 60s, clamped [1, 300]. Agent
re-issues on timeout to extend.
Response carries the chunk's status plus the two feedback fields shipped
in the prereq commit: rejection_reason (free-form reviewer text) and
validation_result (gateway prover verdict, empty until #1097). On
timeout: same shape with timed_out: true so the agent can disambiguate
without parsing.
Wait handler short-polls GetDraftPolicy every 1s inside the request with
a tokio::time::Instant deadline. One gateway connection is opened per
request and reused across all polls, so a 60s wait does one TLS
handshake instead of sixty. A future commit can swap the loop body for
a tokio::sync::broadcast driven by a watcher task — the agent-visible
contract (URL, query, response shape) is independent of the polling
implementation.
All routes stay behind agent_policy_proposals_enabled. Closes#1092.

* docs(sandbox): teach policy_advisor skill the wait + redraft loop
The agent-facing instructions for the feedback loop. The endpoints

- API entries for GET /v1/proposals/{chunk_id} and /wait?timeout=<s>,
including the field semantics (status, rejection_reason,
validation_result, timed_out).
- A note on the submit response's accepted_chunk_ids /
rejection_reasons split so the agent handles partial acceptance.
- Step 6 saves the chunk_ids and addresses any submit-time rejections
before waiting.
- Step 7 walks the four wait outcomes: approved (retry, with the
honest "may still fail" caveat), rejected (read rejection_reason
AND validation_result; address whichever has content), still-pending
with timed_out (re-call), non-2xx (surface, do not retry).
skills.rs gains two assertions on the skill content so a future edit
cannot drop the wait endpoint or the rejection_reason directive
silently.

* test(policy-advisor): add end-to-end smoke for the agent feedback loop
A focused smoke that exercises the new policy.local /wait endpoint
on a live gateway + sandbox, separate from the existing no-LLM
regression harness (which still drives the OLD retry-with-bash-loop
recovery pattern).
Two flows:
- Flow A — approve-and-retry: agent submits, /wait blocks, host runs
`openshell rule approve`, /wait returns status=approved. Confirms
the happy path round-trip latency.
- Flow B — reject-with-guidance: agent submits, /wait blocks, host
runs `openshell rule reject --reason "..."`, /wait returns
status=rejected with the exact reviewer text in rejection_reason.
Confirms the free-form guidance contract round-trips through the
agent feedback channel.
No GitHub credentials needed — proposals are synthetic and never
trigger outbound traffic. Both flows expect agent_policy_proposals_enabled=true
and a running gateway.
Adds three cases to sandbox-runner.sh: submit-test-proposal (no GH
deps), proposal-status, proposal-wait. The existing put-file and
submit-proposal cases used by test.sh are untouched.

* fix(policy): dedup draft chunks only in mechanistic mode; return effective id
The smoke harness for the agent feedback loop caught a real bug in the
gateway: SubmitPolicyAnalysis's response carried a chunk_id that was
never persisted whenever the SQL ON CONFLICT path fired. Two failure
modes, both load-bearing:
- Agent-authored proposals targeting the same host/port/binary
(e.g. the redraft-after-rejection loop) silently folded into one row
and any RejectDraftChunk by the new chunk_id failed with "chunk not
found." Latent since #1151, surfaced by #1094 returning chunk_ids.
- Mechanistic mode had the same class of bug — the dedup fold-in is
the intended behavior there, but the response still advertised the
newly-generated UUID instead of the existing row's id. Less visible
because no current caller reads mechanistic chunk_ids back, but the
proto contract was violated either way.
Fix in three parts:
- put_draft_chunk now takes Option<&str> dedup_key explicitly and
returns the effective row id (via RETURNING). None binds NULL to the
dedup_key column, which bypasses the partial-index ON CONFLICT path
entirely. Caller-decides semantics replace store-side magic.
- handle_submit_policy_analysis picks dedup_key per chunk using an
allowlist (only "mechanistic" dedups) and pushes the returned
effective_id to accepted_chunk_ids. New modes default to no-dedup so
a misconfigured caller cannot silently lose proposals.
- The two-copy draft_chunk_dedup_key helper consolidated to one
observation_dedup_key in policy_store.rs with a doc comment.
Tests:
- agent_authored_submits_for_same_endpoint_do_not_dedup pins the
redraft-loop contract: two intentional submissions with the same
host/port/binary get distinct chunk_ids, both findable via
GetDraftPolicy, both rejectable by id.
- mechanistic_submits_for_same_endpoint_dedup_into_one_chunk locks in
the observation-mode dedup AND asserts both submits return the same
effective_id — would have caught the deeper bug.
Proto: SubmitPolicyAnalysisRequest.analysis_mode doc updated to
describe the actual semantics (mechanistic dedups, agent_authored and
unknown modes do not).

* docs(examples): retarget policy-management demo at the /wait endpoint
The narrated demo (examples/agent-driven-policy-management) has been the
public face of this feature since #1151. Its agent prompt told Codex to
retry the original PUT every few seconds for up to 120 seconds — a
polling workaround for the missing /wait endpoint that this branch
shipped. Update the demo to exercise /wait so the canonical reading of
the feature reflects the actual UX win.
- agent-task.md: step 4 is now "call /wait, branch on status" with the
three outcomes spelled out (approved → retry once; rejected → read
rejection_reason and revise or stop; pending+timed_out → re-issue
/wait once, do NOT busy-loop or shorten the timeout). Also makes
explicit that the demo submits one rule per proposal so
accepted_chunk_ids[0] is the safe single id to wait on.
- demo.sh: header docstring rewritten as a six-step loop that mirrors
the README. narrate_sandbox_workflow drops its parallel numbering and
uses bullets (the runtime narration is the agent's sub-actions, not a
separate decomposition of the loop). Approve step header and success
message now reference /wait waking the agent, not "policy hot-reload
retry."
- README.md: top-of-file flow expanded from 5 to 6 steps to include the
/wait call and chunk_id capture; "Going further" section now describes
both regression scripts and the boundary between them (real-GitHub
retry vs. synthetic /wait wire test). Slow-path qualifier corrected
from "image pull on first run" to "sandbox cold-start (SSH bring-up
plus Codex install)".
- wait-smoke.sh header rewritten to make it unambiguous this is a
regression, NOT a tutorial, with explicit prereq commands instead of
prereq descriptions, and a pointer at demo.sh for the narrated story.
No code paths change; this is the readability pass.

* feat(sandbox): emit OCSF audit events for policy proposal lifecycle
The demo's policy decision trace previously showed only the proxy
enforcement story (HTTP:PUT DENIED, CONFIG:LOADED, HTTP:PUT ALLOWED).
It was silent about who proposed what or who decided what — the
audit-trail receipts for the agent feedback loop were missing.
policy.local now emits sandbox-side OCSF events at the observation
moments, into the same stream as the existing CONFIG:LOADED:
- CONFIG:PROPOSED on submit_proposal acceptance. Per accepted chunk:
the message names the chunk_id, target endpoint, L7 method/path, and
binary so the trace correlates against the inbox card via chunk_id.
- CONFIG:APPROVED on /wait observation of approved status.
- CONFIG:REJECTED on /wait observation of rejected status. Carries the
reviewer's free-form rejection_reason in the message AND as an
unmapped field, both sanitized (control chars stripped, capped at
200 chars with an ellipsis marker). The agent still reads the raw
text via GET /v1/proposals/{id}; sanitization is audit-side only,
per AGENTS.md's no-secrets-in-OCSF rule.
The submit path defends the audit_summaries / accepted_chunk_ids
index pairing against a future gateway change that compresses past
rejected chunks (the proto doesn't promise 1:1 ordering with the
request). Today client-side validation makes the lengths always
match; if they don't, the pairing falls back to a generic per-id
event rather than mis-attribute.
The wait handler's emit site fires once per terminal-status
observation. Multiple concurrent waiters on the same chunk would
each emit one event; acceptable for single-waiter-per-chunk demos
and the right place to dedup is the SIEM.
demo.sh's trace filter now surfaces the four CONFIG: events
alongside HTTP:PUT, so the trace at the end of every run tells the
full story from deny to allow via propose -> approve.
wait-smoke.sh's prereq notes recommend redirecting kubectl
port-forward output so its "Handling connection for 8090" lines
don't bleed into demo narration.

* feat(policy): /wait awaits local policy reload; demo auto-approves redrafts
Three things in one commit, all surfaced by running the demo end-to-end
against a real gateway and finding the agent had to draft a broader
second proposal.
1. /wait race fix. Previously /wait returned `approved` the moment it
observed the gateway's chunk status flip, but the local supervisor
reloads policy on its own poll cycle (~10s in practice). The agent's
retry would race the reload and hit the still-old policy, getting
denied. Codex then drafted a broader rule and re-submitted — sound
agent behavior, but not what /wait should provoke. Now /wait captures
the local policy version at start, and after observed-approved waits
for the supervisor to load a strictly-newer version before returning.
Bounded by the caller's deadline; best-effort return if the deadline
elapses without the version bumping. Two new unit tests pin the
happy path and the deadline-clamped fallback.
2. demo.sh auto-approve loop. Replaces approve_when_pending +
wait_for_agent with one approve_pending_until_agent_exits function
that keeps watching for pending chunks and approving them until the
agent process exits (or the configured timeout). Defense in depth
against future redraft scenarios for any reason; today (post-fix #1)
the agent should only submit one proposal per task, but we don't
want to hang silently if it does submit more.
3. UX. Step headers now carry "[t+1.2s]" relative timestamps so reading
the run output makes latency visible (the demo's whole point is the
wait is cheap — surface that). A spin_wait helper renders an ASCII
spinner during the watch loop so the demo never looks frozen on a
TTY. Falls back to plain sleep on non-TTY contexts.
Closes the race condition diagnosed from the trace timing where the
gateway approved at t+0, sandbox observed at t+0.3s, but the supervisor
didn't load v2 until t+9.4s — well after the agent had already retried
and been denied.

* fix(sandbox): /wait detects policy reload by content, not the schema version
The previous attempt at the /wait-after-approve race fix compared
`SandboxPolicy.version` between /wait start and the policy reload —
but that field is the *schema* version (constant 1), not a revision
counter. Every comparison was `current(1) > baseline(1) == false`, so
the wait blocked until the agent's 300s timeout regardless of whether
the supervisor had actually reloaded. The demo SSH connection then
timed out around the 240s mark.
Diagnosed from a live run's OCSF trace: supervisor pulled v2 at
+8.5s after approval (CONFIG:LOADED), but the sandbox-side
CONFIG:APPROVED that my /wait emits didn't fire until +304s — exactly
at the 300s deadline.
Fix: compare the whole policy via prost's derived PartialEq. Any
field change (network_policies map being the only one that actually
mutates today) flips equality. A clone-per-200ms-tick on a few-KB
proto is cheap inside the bounded wait window.
Tests rewritten to match the new contract: the supervisor-reload
fixture now keeps `version: 1` constant and changes `network_policies`
contents, mirroring the exact failure mode from the live run.

* fix(examples): redact tokens with python literal-string replace, not sed
The sed-based redact_log in demo.sh broke when one of the auth tokens
contained a character that conflicted with sed's pattern parser
("unterminated substitute pattern" on the Codex JWT). The whole log
tail then blanks on failure, hiding the very failure context we're
trying to surface.
Switch to a python subprocess that takes the tokens via argv and does
literal str.replace. No regex, no delimiter games, no truncation.

* fix(sandbox): scope /wait reload check to the approved rule
Reviewer (John Myers) flagged two failure modes in the prior whole-policy
fingerprint approach used by policy.local /wait:
- False sleep: when the supervisor reloads between two /wait calls
(the skill tells the agent to re-issue on timed_out), the new call
snapshots the already-updated policy as baseline and burns the full
timeout waiting for a change that never comes.
- False wakeup: any unrelated reload (other agent's approval, settings
change) flips the diff, but the chunk's actual rule may not be loaded
yet — the agent retries and hits policy_denied for no real signal.
Replace the diff with rule-coverage. New public helper
openshell_policy::policy_covers_rule reuses endpoints_overlap (so it
matches add_rule's merge semantics, including the fold-into-existing-key
case) plus an L7 allow check on method/path (so an existing endpoint
that doesn't yet contain the proposed method doesn't signal coverage).
Add policy_reloaded: true|false to the /wait response on approve, with
a 500ms floor on the reload-wait phase so approvals arriving near the
deadline still get a fair shot at reloaded=true. Update the
policy_advisor skill to branch on it: reloaded=true → retry;
reloaded=false → re-issue /wait once with timeout=30, then surface to
user. Don't loop tightly.
Tests:
- 9 new unit tests in openshell-policy pinning coverage semantics
(L4-only, L7 method gap, fold-into-existing-key, empty binaries).
- 4 new tokio tests in policy_local mirroring John's exact scenarios.
- wait-smoke.sh asserts policy_reloaded=true on Flow A.

* fix(server): make GetDraftPolicy dual-auth so /wait works under OIDC
policy.local calls GetDraftPolicy from inside the sandbox supervisor
via the sandbox gRPC client, which authenticates with the shared
x-sandbox-secret. GetDraftPolicy was listed only in the Bearer-auth
scope table (config:read) and was not in SANDBOX_SECRET_METHODS or
DUAL_AUTH_METHODS, so OIDC-enabled gateways rejected those calls and
the /wait long-poll surfaced gateway_lookup_failed. Local/no-OIDC
setups happened to work because the auth check is short-circuited.
Add GetDraftPolicy to DUAL_AUTH_METHODS, matching the existing
GetSandboxConfig pattern (called by both CLI reviewer surfaces with
Bearer and the sandbox supervisor with x-sandbox-secret). Dual-auth
short-circuits the scope check for sandbox-secret callers, so the
config:read entry in authz.rs continues to gate Bearer-only flows.
Mirror the openshell_get_sandbox_config_is_dual_auth assertion for
GetDraftPolicy.
Note: ssh_handshake_secret is server-wide, not per-sandbox, so a
sandbox-secret caller can today name any sandbox in a SubmitPolicyAnalysis
request — and now in a GetDraftPolicy request. The exposure is
symmetric with the existing SANDBOX_SECRET_METHODS pattern. Filed as a
follow-up: per-sandbox secret binding, tracked separately.

* refactor(docker): use native rust builds for split gateway/supervisor images
Drop the in-Docker BUILD_FROM_SOURCE path so both images consume only
prebuilt binaries staged natively via tasks/scripts/stage-prebuilt-binaries.sh.
This mirrors what CI does and reuses the host's cargo target cache and
sccache across rebuilds.
- Dockerfile.gateway: nvcr.io/nvidia/distroless/cc:v4.0.4 base (the 4.0.0
tag does not exist on nvcr.io; the registry uses a v prefix). GNU-linked
binary copied to /usr/local/bin.
- Dockerfile.supervisor: scratch base, static musl binary. Static linkage
lets the image stay scratch while still being executable as a Kubernetes
init container.
- skaffold.yaml: each artifact invokes tasks/scripts/docker-build-image.sh,
which stages the binary natively (cargo / cargo-zigbuild) and then builds
the image. Drops the cross-build.sh dependency from the supervisor build.
- seccomp.rs: add a local SYS_kexec_file_load constant for musl/aarch64.
libc 0.2.185 omits the symbol from its musl/aarch64 bindings, so the
supervisor's seccomp filter previously failed to compile for that target.
- architecture/build.md: describe the native-first pipeline and per-image
runtime choices.
Local validation: gateway image 101MB (was 194MB), supervisor image 21.7MB.
helm:skaffold:run deploys cleanly; the static musl supervisor binary runs
correctly in a non-glibc agent container.
* refactor(docker): tighten binary perms via --chown + 0550
Replace `COPY --chmod=755` with `COPY --chown=<user> --chmod=0550` in
the gateway and supervisor Dockerfiles. The binary is no longer
world-readable or world-executable; ownership is pinned to the runtime
user.
- Gateway uses `--chown=nvs:nvs` + `USER nvs:nvs`, matching the only
non-root user defined in `nvcr.io/nvidia/distroless/cc` (UID 1000) and
the Helm chart's `securityContext.runAsUser: 1000`, which overrides
the Dockerfile USER at runtime.
- Supervisor uses numeric `--chown=65534:65534` because the scratch base
has no `/etc/passwd` for name resolution. The supervisor image is
only consumed by the init-container copy-self path; the destination
pod's runAsUser governs execute access.
Validated by deploying to a local k3d cluster via `helm:skaffold:run`
and confirming the gateway StatefulSet reaches 1/1 Running.
* ci(gpu): repoint GPU probe image lookup at Dockerfile.gateway
The previous awk parsed `FROM <image> AS gateway` from the now-deleted
`Dockerfile.images`. The new `Dockerfile.gateway` uses an ARG with a
default (`ARG GATEWAY_BASE_IMAGE=nvcr.io/nvidia/distroless/cc:v4.0.4`)
and `FROM ${GATEWAY_BASE_IMAGE} AS gateway`, so the old script returns
nothing.
Parse the ARG default value directly so the GPU prerequisites check
keeps using the gateway base image as a `nvidia-smi` probe target.
* ci(gpu): pin GPU probe to nvcr.io/nvidia/base/ubuntu:noble
The previous probe parsed the gateway base image out of the Dockerfile,
relying on the fact that the gateway ran on `nvcr.io/nvidia/base/ubuntu`
and that NVIDIA Container Toolkit CDI injection would populate
`nvidia-smi` and the supporting libs at runtime. The new gateway base
(`nvcr.io/nvidia/distroless/cc`) lacks `ldconfig`, a populated
`/usr/bin`, and the broader filesystem layout CDI injection assumes,
so it cannot serve as a GPU probe.
Pin the probe image explicitly to the NVIDIA-managed Ubuntu base. The
probe is independent of the gateway runtime and survives future base
swaps.
* fix(e2e-gpu): pass GPU probe image via env, drop Dockerfile.images parse
The Rust e2e test `gpu_request_for_each_discovered_device_matches_plain_container`
was still parsing the deleted `Dockerfile.images` to derive its GPU probe
image, panicking with `No such file or directory` after this PR's
Dockerfile split.
Move the probe image to a single source of truth in the workflow
(`OPENSHELL_E2E_GPU_PROBE_IMAGE` env at the job level) and require the
e2e test to read it from there. No silent codebase default — the test
panics with a pointer at the workflow if the env is missing, so it
fails loudly rather than drifting from CI.
The prereq probe step in the workflow now consumes the same env, so
the probe image is declared exactly once.
* fix(docker): keep supervisor binary root-owned for rootless Podman
The Podman driver mounts the supervisor image read-only into the sandbox
container at /opt/openshell/bin and runs that container as UID 0, but
deliberately drops DAC_OVERRIDE for hardening (container.rs:419). With
--chown=65534:65534 --chmod=0550 the binary was r-xr-x--- owned by UID
65534, so the container's UID 0 fell into "other" with no read or exec
access and the supervisor crashed on start (ContainerExited code 1).
Docker and Kubernetes both retain DAC_OVERRIDE, so root could still
exec the file — which is why this regression only surfaced in the
Podman e2e job.
Drop --chown from the supervisor COPY so the binary stays root-owned.
Keep --chmod=0550: the security win was dropping world-execute, not
changing the owner. The chown bought nothing here because the container
is always UID 0 regardless of driver, but it actively broke the only
driver that drops DAC_OVERRIDE.

When the VM driver extracts OCI image layers on a non-root host (e.g.
macOS UID 501), fs::copy and tar::unpack create files owned by the host
user. The sandbox user inside the VM then cannot write to its own home
directory.
Add a conditional chown in the VM init script that detects the mismatch
and fixes ownership before the supervisor starts. The check is skipped
when ownership is already correct (e.g. Linux-as-root extraction).

Add supervisor.sideloadMethod to the Kubernetes setup chart values table
and the compute drivers reference table. The value was added in the
ImageVolumeSource sideload PR and controls whether the supervisor binary
is delivered via an OCI image volume mount or an init container, with
auto-detection based on cluster version when left empty.
Update the server.sandboxNamespace description in both pages to reflect
that the Helm chart now derives it from the release namespace by default
when the value is left empty.
The sandbox_to_k8s_spec function was inserting logLevel and environment
fields at the Sandbox CR spec level. Neither field exists in the
agents.x-k8s.io/v1alpha1 CRD schema, so Kubernetes silently dropped them
and the log_level value never reached the sandbox pod.
Remove the dead CR-level insertions. Build a merged environment map that
includes OPENSHELL_LOG_LEVEL when log_level is set, and pass it to
sandbox_template_to_k8s so the value flows through build_env_list into
the pod container spec.
Add a unit test verifying OPENSHELL_LOG_LEVEL appears in the container
env and that logLevel is absent from the CR spec.

* ci(helm): add Branch Helm E2E workflow gated on test:e2e-helm
Adds a label-gated GitHub Actions workflow that exercises the Helm
chart end-to-end against the Rust e2e suite via `mise run e2e:helm`.
Pipeline:
- pr_metadata gates on the `test:e2e-helm` label via the pr-gate action.
- build-gateway / build-supervisor build and push Docker images using
the reusable docker-build.yml workflow.
- helm-e2e (bare runner): apt-installs z3 build deps so cargo can
compile the openshell-policy crate's z3-sys backend, creates a kind
cluster via helm/kind-action, materializes the kind kubeconfig at the
path mise's [env] block expects, side-loads the freshly built
gateway/supervisor images, applies
deploy/kube/manifests/agent-sandbox.yaml so the
sandboxes.agents.x-k8s.io CRD and reconciling StatefulSet are in
place, and finally runs `mise run e2e:helm`.
Also expands the `e2e:helm` task to run the full Rust e2e suite
(matching `e2e:podman`) instead of only the smoke test, with
OPENSHELL_E2E_KUBE_TEST as an opt-in single-test override for local
debugging.
Extends the e2e-label-help workflow so applying `test:e2e-helm` posts
the next-step hint pointing at this workflow.

* test(helm-e2e): run host-gateway tests on the kube driver
Six tests previously skipped on the kubernetes driver — three in
host_gateway_alias.rs plus the forward_proxy_l7 + graphql_l7 cases —
relied on `host.openshell.internal` reaching either a host process or a
sibling docker container. The Helm chart already supports this via
`server.hostGatewayIP`, but the e2e wrapper never set it.
- with-kube-gateway.sh: auto-detect the host-routable IP (CoreDNS
`host.k3d.internal` first to handle Docker Desktop, docker network
gateway as a fallback for kind on Linux CI) and pass it to helm
install. Also import locally-built images into existing k3d clusters
and wait for namespace deletion to complete before exit.
- e2e/rust/Cargo.toml + e2e-helm.sh: add an `e2e-host-gateway` feature
that gates the three test files; docker and podman runs imply it,
helm runs opt in by default (overridable via
OPENSHELL_E2E_HELM_FEATURES for remote clusters where the test host
is unreachable from pods).
- Drop the `skip_if_kube` helper and its callers — feature gating now
decides whether the tests compile in.
Verified against a local k3d cluster: all six previously-skipped tests
pass, smoke regression intact.
* refactor(e2e): rename e2e:helm to e2e:kubernetes
The runner exercises the gateway on Kubernetes; helm is just the

- env var: OPENSHELL_E2E_HELM_FEATURES -> OPENSHELL_E2E_KUBERNETES_FEATURES
- workflow: branch-helm-e2e.yml -> branch-kubernetes-e2e.yml
(display name "Branch Kubernetes E2E", job "kubernetes-e2e")

hint workflow updated to match)
PR #1251 needs the new label applied; the old label can be removed.
* fix(e2e): prefer IPv4 host-gateway IP from dual-stack docker networks
kind dual-stacks its network; the wrapper's awk picked the first
non-empty gateway, which was the IPv6 entry (fc00:...). Sandbox pods
can't reach the test host's IPv4 listener through that, so the L7 and
host-gateway-alias tests failed in CI even though they passed locally
against k3d (where host.k3d.internal in CoreDNS short-circuits the
docker-network fallback).
Restrict the awk filter to IPv4 octets.

* feat(k8s): support ImageVolumeSource for supervisor sideload

methods: image-volume (default) mounts the supervisor OCI image

preserves the existing emptyDir + copy-self pattern for older clusters.
Configurable via --supervisor-sideload-method CLI arg,
OPENSHELL_SUPERVISOR_SIDELOAD_METHOD env var, or Helm
supervisor.sideloadMethod value.
* feat(helm): auto-detect supervisor sideload method from cluster version

method automatically: image-volume on K8s >= v1.33, init-container on
older clusters. An explicit supervisor.sideloadMethod value overrides
auto-detection.
* fix(helm): raise auto-detect threshold to K8s v1.35
The ImageVolume feature gate is only enabled by default starting in
K8s v1.35, not v1.33 (where it is beta but off by default). Clusters
on v1.33-v1.34 can still opt in with an explicit sideloadMethod value.
Colima, Lima, Rancher Desktop, and OrbStack all run dockerd inside a
host VM. Their bridge gateway IP is reachable from inside containers
but not from the OpenShell server process running on the host, the
same constraint Docker Desktop has — yet the existing

bridge IP nothing on the host can listen on.
Detect these runtimes by daemon Name (Lima sets the VM hostname to
colima*, lima-*, rancher-desktop, orbstack) and supplemental labels
(dev.rancherdesktop.*, dev.orbstack.*), and route them through
host-gateway like Docker Desktop.
