* fix(isolation): validate Unix socket paths the same way on every host Prior to this change, SandboxTransport::validate checked Unix socket paths with Path::is_absolute(). On Windows that requires a drive or UNC prefix, so a POSIX path such as /run/backend.sock was rejected as "invalid boundary control transport endpoint". The isolation backend registration work in #3898 added tests that register Unix endpoints in the core registration types, gateway config, gateway config preflight, and supervisor backend setup; all of them failed on the Windows MSVC runners. The Windows test job only runs on PRs labeled test:windows, so the break went unnoticed on main. Unix transport is refused at runtime on non-Unix hosts, so these paths are always POSIX paths regardless of where they are validated. Now, both the core registration validator and the sandbox backend protocol validator use a new openshell_core::paths::is_posix_absolute helper, which applies the POSIX rule (the path starts with '/') on every host. On Unix this matches is_absolute() exactly.

Enrichment only adds paths that exist on the host. Prior to this change, the tests assumed those paths exist, so on Windows enrichment added nothing, the precondition assertions failed, and the baseline case of permanent_codes_still_exit never saw a write to refuse. Now, the four baseline write-back tests are gated to Unix, and permanent_codes_still_exit checks the image policy upload case on every host and the baseline write-back case only on Unix.

Writers serialize on the SQLite write lock and wait out sqlx's default 5s busy_timeout. Prior to this change, the per-commit fsync cost on the Windows runners was high enough that a waiting writer starved past that timeout and failed with "database is locked" after about 7s. Now, each writer makes 5 writes on Windows and 25 elsewhere. The test still races every writer on the same row, which is what it checks. Signed-off-by: Kris Hicks <khicks@nvidia.com> * test(server): hold scope-mix locks for wall-clock time, not timer ticks random_scope_mix_never_deadlocks (#4147) runs 64 tasks of 50 random lock operations and holds each operation's locks for 0-2 ms, failing if the mix does not finish within 20s. Prior to this change, the hold was a tokio::time::sleep. Windows timers round a 1 ms sleep up to about 16 ms, and a quarter of the operations take the exclusive global lock, so the serialized holds alone took several seconds and the full mix exceeded the 20s deadline on the Windows runners. Now, occupy yields until a std::time::Instant deadline, so holds last 0-2 ms of wall-clock time on every platform and the deadline means the same thing everywhere. Signed-off-by: Kris Hicks <khicks@nvidia.com> * test(supervisor): run sandbox instance host tests only on Unix hosts The sandbox_instance_host tests added with per-instance supervisor state (#4701) admit hosted instances through SandboxInstanceHost::new, which prepares a private directory per instance. Hosted sandbox instances are Unix-only: on other hosts prepare_private_dir returns "hosted sandbox instances require a Unix host". Prior to this change, the test module still compiled and ran on Windows, so all three tests failed while creating their host. Now, the test module is gated to Unix, and the Unix-only permission check inside one test no longer needs its own cfg attribute.

OpenShell gateway server
The server owns control-plane RPCs, authentication, provider credential delivery,
and sandbox lifecycle orchestration. The openshell-gateway crate composes the
server with selected compute drivers.
Sandbox launch identity
A new start, including an automatic restart, commits a fresh runtime generation and an incremented authorization epoch before invoking the compute driver. The launch session ID is derived from the durable sandbox ID and generation. Retries reuse that generation and session, including after gateway restart. Credential renewal retains both; credentials for an older launch cannot authorize the new one.
Operator credential export
GetProviderCredentials exports selected profile-declared runtime environment
keys from one provider in an explicitly named workspace. It requires the distinct
Principal::Operator, established only from a verified TLS leaf certificate with
OU=operator when mtls_auth.operator_enabled is enabled. The TLS listener supplies
its certificate fingerprint separately from user identity; the ordinary
identity-only serving path cannot establish an operator.
Operators explicitly inherit user/platform-admin permissions, but not sandbox or peer identities. Descriptor authorization and a handler guard both protect the export RPC. Operator mutation admission uses a separate caller namespace from ordinary mTLS users with the same certificate subject. Credential responses never enter durable mutation replay or generic interceptor routing.
The export resolver validates the entire selection before minting, resolves only selected credential handles, and fences provider revisions, refresh epochs, and profile declarations before delivery. Driver expiration and provider expiration combine using the earlier timestamp. OAuth minting inputs, broker-only keys, and supervisor-bound dynamic grants are not exportable. A failed response can still have committed refresh effects. Missing refresh-owned stored outputs trigger refresh-on-read; missing static outputs and other credential-backend errors fail closed without falling back to inline values.
Refresh coordination
Explicit rotation, background refresh, and operator refresh-on-read share the same refresh coordination:
- A process-local weak keyed mutex coalesces waiters without retaining deleted providers indefinitely.
- A bounded admission queue and executor pool limit detached refresh work.
- PostgreSQL deployments also take a dedicated per-provider/per-credential advisory lock; SQLite uses the local mutex. Worker secret cleanup takes the same locks and reloads state before changing its resource version.
- A durable
refresh_in_progressmarker precedes upstream minting. Arefresh_committingmarker protects the interval between grant persistence and provider-handle persistence. Only a completed provider commit publishesrefreshedstate, with a unique completed-mint identity in metadata annotations. Waiters coalesce against that identity, not bookkeeping changes to the resource version. - Automatic callers recheck live recovery and retry deadlines under both locks. A failed mint blocks queued automatic exchanges without disabling scheduled worker retries or a separately requested manual rotation.
- Detached refresh tasks complete despite request cancellation, preserving replacement refresh tokens returned by the issuer.
- Existing generation/CAS fencing remains active for deletion and reconfiguration. An ambiguous rotating-token exchange is parked for recovery rather than automatically consuming the grant again.
A crash or lost database-lock session can leave a parked marker. Reconfigure or reauthorize the refresh grant after investigating its issuer state. Changing a marker directly is not a supported recovery workflow.

The ignored postgres_refresh_locks_coordinate_independent_replica_sessions test
runs under mise run test:rust:postgres (see TESTING.md) and still accepts
OPENSHELL_REFRESH_TEST_DATABASE_URL pointing to a disposable PostgreSQL database.
It exercises independent sessions without the local mutex. Do not point this
fixture at an existing deployment database.
