## Security Fix
### Summary
The CONNECT proxy accepted hostnames from clients and connected to whatever IP they resolved to, with no validation against internal address ranges. While the OPA policy is default-deny, a misconfigured or overly permissive policy could allow SSRF to cloud metadata (169.254.169.254), localhost, or RFC1918 services. This fix adds DNS resolution before connecting and rejects any host that resolves to an internal IP.
### Severity Assessment
- **Impact:** Medium — if exploited, could reach cloud metadata (IAM creds), cluster-internal services, or host-local services
- **Exploitability:** Very low — requires OPA policy misconfiguration or DNS rebinding attack
- **Affected components:** `crates/navigator-sandbox/src/proxy.rs` — `handle_tcp_connection`
### Changes Made
- `crates/navigator-sandbox/src/proxy.rs`: Added `is_internal_ip()` helper that checks IPv4 loopback/private/link-local, IPv6 loopback/link-local, and IPv4-mapped IPv6. Added `resolve_and_reject_internal()` that resolves DNS and rejects internal IPs. Inserted check between OPA allow and `TcpStream::connect`, with control plane endpoints exempt.
- `architecture/security-policy.md`: Added SSRF Protection section with blocked ranges table and flow diagram
- `architecture/sandbox.md`: Updated proxy connection flow diagram and added SSRF protection subsection
- `architecture/README.md`: Added internal IP rejection step to proxy description
### Tests Added
- **Unit:** 17 tests in `proxy::tests` — covers IPv4 loopback/private/link-local, IPv6 loopback/link-local, IPv4-mapped IPv6, public IPs, DNS resolution of localhost/127.0.0.1/169.254.169.254, and DNS failure handling
- **Integration/E2E:** N/A — the proxy runs inside a Linux network namespace; unit tests for IP checking and DNS resolution cover the security boundary
### Documentation Updated
- `architecture/security-policy.md`: New SSRF Protection section with blocked IP ranges and Mermaid flowchart
- `architecture/sandbox.md`: Updated proxy flow diagram and added SSRF protection subsection
- `architecture/README.md`: Added step 4 to proxy description
### Verification
All 85 sandbox tests pass including 17 new proxy SSRF tests. Pre-commit (fmt, clippy, full test suite) passes clean with zero warnings.
Add a --policy CLI flag to sandbox create that overrides the built-in
default and NAVIGATOR_SANDBOX_POLICY env var for specifying a custom
sandbox policy YAML file. Also add /dev/null to the default filesystem
read_write list and update security-policy docs with formatting fixes.
Destroy now removes the cluster image so the next deploy always pulls the
latest version from the registry. After pulling on a remote host the
image architecture is verified against the host platform, surfacing a
clear error instead of a cryptic 'exec format error' at container start.
Add two sub-agents that have been useful thus far. The documentation agent has memory that is tracked.
Used the docs sub-agent to create detailed docs for all sub-systems + and overview doc.
## Summary
- add a Docker-based macOS arm64 wheel build path so darwin wheels can be produced from Linux CI hosts
- wire macOS wheel builds into release publish workflows (`publish:main` and `publish:tag`) alongside existing Linux wheel builds
- mirror `crazymax/osxcross:latest` into `$CI_REGISTRY_IMAGE/third_party/osxcross:latest` and use that mirrored image in CI publish jobs
## Scope Notes
- this MR focuses on shipping reliable macOS wheel build support first
- temporary MR-only smoke-job wiring was removed after validation so the branch reflects final intended CI behavior
- broader cache optimization work is tracked separately in issue #43
## Test Plan
- run `mise run pre-commit`
- validate `.gitlab-ci.yml` with `uv run --with pyyaml python -c 'import yaml, pathlib; yaml.safe_load(pathlib.Path(".gitlab-ci.yml").read_text())'`
## Summary
- Add `GetSandboxProviderEnvironment` gRPC endpoint so the sandbox supervisor can fetch provider credentials at runtime instead of embedding them in the pod spec
- Sandbox supervisor (`navigator-sandbox`) fetches credentials on startup and injects them as environment variables into both entrypoint processes and SSH shell sessions via `Command::env()`
- Remove credential injection from sandbox creation-time pod spec in `navigator-server`
- Update `architecture/providers.md` to document the full runtime credential injection flow, discovery engine details, trait definitions, and end-to-end diagram
## Changes
- **proto**: Add `GetSandboxProviderEnvironment` RPC and request/response messages, add `providers` field to `SandboxSpec`
- **navigator-server**: Implement `GetSandboxProviderEnvironment` handler and `resolve_provider_environment()` with env var key validation and first-wins dedup; remove old creation-time credential injection from `sandbox/mod.rs`
- **navigator-sandbox**: Fetch provider env via gRPC on startup (`grpc_client.rs`), thread `provider_env` HashMap through to `process.rs` (entrypoint) and `ssh.rs` (shell sessions), inject via `cmd.env()`
- **navigator-cli**: Adjust sandbox create flow to set provider names in `SandboxSpec.providers`
- **e2e**: Add `test_sandbox_providers.py` end-to-end tests
- **docs**: Rewrite `architecture/providers.md` with implementation details
## Test Plan
- Unit tests for `resolve_provider_environment` in `grpc.rs`
- Integration tests updated in `provider_commands_integration.rs`, `mtls_integration.rs`, `multiplex_integration.rs`, `multiplex_tls_integration.rs`
- New e2e test suite `test_sandbox_providers.py`
Closes#28
## Summary
- `--update-kube-config` and `--get-kubeconfig` appended a `-remote` suffix to the cluster name when resolving the stored kubeconfig path, but the deploy step writes the kubeconfig under the raw name — so the suffixed path never existed, causing both flags to fail for remote clusters.
- Removed the suffix logic so the lookup path matches the deploy path. The `-remote` suffix is still applied to internal kubeconfig YAML entries (cluster/context/user names) by `rewrite_kubeconfig_remote`, which is unaffected.
- Inlined the `is_remote` variable since it was only used to compute the display-only `location` string.
## Summary
- Add `Provider` entity for managing 3p deps from a sandbox
- Add provider CRUD API/server persistence and new CLI workflows (`nav provider create/get/list/update/delete`), including `--from-existing` laptop discovery.
- Integrate providers into sandbox create flow: infer from command (`-- claude`), support repeatable `--provider <type>`, prompt before auto-create, and allow manual in-sandbox setup.
- Add a dedicated `navigator-providers` crate with per-provider modules and mockable discovery test helpers.
## Key UX Changes
- `nav sandbox create --provider gitlab -- claude`
- Missing provider prompt now asks before creating from local state.
- `nav provider list --names` for scripting/cleanup.
## Test Plan
- `mise run cluster:deploy`
- `mise run test:e2e:sandbox`
- `mise run pre-commit`

## Summary
Consolidates sandbox policy data into `dev-sandbox-policy.yaml` and deletes `dev-sandbox-policy-data.rego`. The YAML file becomes the single source of truth for sandbox policy data across both paths:
- **`nav create sandbox`** (CLI reads YAML → proto → gRPC → server stores → sandbox fetches)
- **`mise run sandbox`** (sandbox reads YAML directly via regorus)
## Why YAML
The policy data file is user-facing — it's the interface users interact with to configure sandbox security policy (allowed endpoints, binary identities, filesystem access, etc.).
Keeping this as YAML rather than rego:
- **Decouples data from enforcement engine** — if we change from OPA/rego to a different policy engine, the user's data file stays the same
- **Still works with regorus** — regorus can natively load YAML data via its `yaml` feature, so there's no conversion step in the local dev path
- **Enables future indirection** — we can add a transformation layer between the YAML file and what the policy engine receives, without changing the user-facing format
## Changes
### Policy data (`dev-sandbox-policy.yaml`)
- Flat top-level structure: `filesystem_policy`, `landlock`, `process`, `inference`, `network_policies`
- Renamed `filesystem` → `filesystem_policy` to match rego/proto convention
- Deleted `dev-sandbox-policy-data.rego` (was the rego equivalent of this data)
### Rego rules (`dev-sandbox-policy.rego`)
- All data references updated: `data.sandbox.*` → `data.*` (dropped `sandbox.` prefix)
- `package navigator.sandbox` unchanged (that's the rego rule namespace, not the data path)
### Sandbox entrypoint (`navigator-sandbox`)
- `--rego-policy`/`--rego-data` → `--policy-rules`/`--policy-data`
- `NAVIGATOR_REGO_POLICY`/`NAVIGATOR_REGO_DATA` → `NAVIGATOR_POLICY_RULES`/`NAVIGATOR_POLICY_DATA`
- `from_files()`: loads YAML natively via `regorus::Value::from_yaml_file()`
- `from_strings()` and `reload()`: accept YAML data via `Value::from_yaml_str()`
- `proto_to_opa_data_json()`: emits data at root level (no `"sandbox"` wrapper)
- Enabled regorus `yaml` feature
### CLI (`navigator-cli`)
- `DevSandboxPolicyFile.filesystem` → `filesystem_policy`
### Tests
- All inline test data converted from rego/JSON to YAML
- `test_engine()` uses `from_strings(rules, yaml)` with the dev YAML file
### Documentation
- Updated `architecture/plans/sandbox-policy-refactor/plan.md`, `architecture/plans/opa/plan.md`, `architecture/sandbox.md`, `architecture/containers.md`
Closes#24
## Problem
SSH sessions into the sandbox were **not entering the network namespace** or receiving proxy environment variables. This meant every command run via SSH (the only user-facing path) had unrestricted internet access, completely bypassing OPA network policy enforcement.
The root cause: the SSH server was started **before** the network namespace and proxy were created in `lib.rs`, so it never received the netns fd or proxy URL.
Additionally, **gRPC inference from within the sandbox did not work at all** — even after fixing the netns, multiple issues prevented the Python SDK from reaching the navigator server through the CONNECT proxy.
## Changes
### Sandbox binary
**Core fix — reorder startup + thread netns through SSH:**
- `lib.rs`: Move netns + proxy creation before SSH server start. Compute `ssh_netns_fd` and `ssh_proxy_url`, pass them to `run_ssh_server()`.
- `ssh.rs`: Thread `netns_fd` and `proxy_url` through the full SSH call chain into `spawn_pty_shell()`. Set proxy env vars on the shell command. Call `setns(fd, CLONE_NEWNET)` in `install_pre_exec()`.
**Proxy — control plane allowlist + IPv6 socket lookup:**
- `proxy.rs`: Connections to the navigator endpoint (derived from `NAVIGATOR_ENDPOINT`) are always allowed without OPA evaluation, logged with `engine=control_plane`. This is infrastructure the sandbox needs to function, not a user-configurable policy.
- `procfs.rs`: Extended `parse_proc_net_tcp` to also check `/proc/<pid>/net/tcp6`. gRPC C-core uses `AF_INET6` sockets even for IPv4 connections, so its TCP entries were invisible to the proxy's identity resolver. Also fixed port parsing to use `rsplit_once(':')` for correct IPv6 address handling.
**Proxy env vars — lowercase variants for gRPC C-core:**
- `process.rs` + `ssh.rs`: Added lowercase `http_proxy`, `https_proxy`, `grpc_proxy` alongside uppercase. gRPC C-core (libgrpc) checks lowercase first and was ignoring the uppercase-only vars.
### Server
- `sandbox/mod.rs`: Added `CAP_SYS_PTRACE` to sandbox pod security context. Required for the proxy (root) to read `/proc/<pid>/fd/` of sandbox-user processes for binary identity resolution.
### Python SDK
- `inference.py`: Strip `http://`/`https://` scheme from endpoint before passing to `grpc.insecure_channel()`, which expects `host:port`. Default `endpoint` and `sandbox_id` from `NAVIGATOR_ENDPOINT` / `NAVIGATOR_SANDBOX_ID` env vars so `Inference()` works inside sandboxes with no arguments.
### Build / infra
- `ci.toml`: Added `--cap-add=SYS_PTRACE` to `mise run sandbox` to mirror the k8s pod capabilities.
### Documentation
- `architecture/sandbox.md`: Documented `CAP_SYS_PTRACE` requirement and the full set of proxy env vars (uppercase + lowercase).
## Testing
All 29 sandbox unit tests pass. `mise run pre-commit` passes (fmt, clippy, all workspace tests, python lint).
E2E verified on a live cluster:
| Test | Result |
|------|--------|
| Proxy env vars (6 vars, upper+lowercase) | PASS |
| Blocked endpoints (google, anthropic via curl) | PASS — all denied |
| **gRPC inference from SSH session** (`Inference()` with no args, env var defaults) | **PASS** |
| Proxy log: navigator requests show `engine=control_plane` | PASS |
| Proxy log: blocked requests show `engine=opa` with correct deny reasons | PASS |
## Summary
- Add a "push" path for local development that exports Docker images from the host daemon and imports them directly into the k3s containerd runtime, eliminating the need for a local registry or remote image pulls during `mise run cluster`
- Add `mise run cluster:deploy` task for fast iterative rebuilds (~25s) against a running cluster without recreating it
- Update `cluster-entrypoint.sh` to patch HelmChart manifest with local image tags and `IfNotPresent` pull policy when push mode is active
## Details
Previously, after the local registry (k3d + skaffold) was removed, `mise run cluster` only pulled component images from the remote CloudFront registry. This meant local code changes required a remote publish cycle to test in-cluster.
This MR adds a push path that sits alongside the existing pull path:
- **`push.rs`** — Uses bollard to `export_images()` all 3 component images into a single tar (with shared layer dedup), uploads via Docker `put_archive` API into the cluster container, then runs `ctr images import` to load them into containerd
- **`docker.rs`** — Passes `IMAGE_TAG` and `IMAGE_PULL_POLICY` env vars into the cluster container when `NAVIGATOR_PUSH_IMAGES` is set
- **`lib.rs`** — Wires push into the deploy flow between `clean_stale_nodes()` and `wait_for_cluster_ready()`, guarded by `remote_opts.is_none() && NAVIGATOR_PUSH_IMAGES`
- **`cluster-entrypoint.sh`** — Patches the baked-in HelmChart manifest with sed to use the local image tag and pull policy before k3s starts
- **`cluster.toml`** — Updated `[cluster]` task to tag and push images; new `[cluster:deploy]` task for iterative deploys via `docker save | ctr import` + `helm upgrade`
The remote deploy path (`nav cluster admin deploy --remote`) is completely unaffected — the push logic only activates for local deploys with the env var set.
## Test Plan
- `mise run cluster` — end-to-end success, cluster healthy with local images (~168s)
- `mise run cluster:deploy` — iterative deploy success, helm upgrade + rollout (~43s)
- `mise run pre-commit` — all checks pass (fmt, clippy, 82 tests, python lint)
- Verified images present in containerd: `ctr -a /run/k3s/containerd/containerd.sock images ls | grep navigator/`
- Remote path verified safe via code analysis (guards prevent push logic from running)
The previous approach wrote the host.docker.internal IP to the k3s
resolv.conf, assuming it would serve DNS. On Docker Desktop, this IP
is reachable but doesn't run a DNS server, causing CoreDNS to fail
resolving external names and breaking the PKI job and Helm install.
The new approach discovers Docker's embedded DNS listener ports from
the DOCKER_OUTPUT iptables chain, then sets up DNAT rules to forward
DNS traffic from k3s pods (via PREROUTING) to Docker's actual DNS
resolver on 127.0.0.11. The container's eth0 IP is used as the
nameserver in the k3s resolv.conf since it's routable from all pods.
