TL;DR

Run IronClaw's compiled default CanonicalAgentLoopExecutor inside the existing persistent per-user Docker sandbox while keeping the scheduler, scoped RebornLoopDriverHost, authorization, model gateway, durable transcript/checkpoint stores, and LoopExitApplier on the trusted host.

This is the single-PR decision spike for #7903. Its former parent, #7810, is merged; this PR now targets main directly.

What changed

  • Add a bounded full-duplex loop-worker process port to the neutral host API.
  • Add ironclaw-loop-worker, a small worker-image binary that reconstructs the compiled production default loop family and runs the real PlannedDriver / CanonicalAgentLoopExecutor.
  • Add a private, same-build loop-host protocol in ironclaw_loop_host:
    • typed request variants for the existing loop ports;
    • 1 MiB frame ceiling;
    • trusted-only reconstruction of host-assigned runtime kinds;
    • private wire mirrors for model-visible context and opaque checkpoint bytes, leaving their contract types non-serializable;
    • terminal outcome acknowledgement so Docker cannot close the exec stream before the host receives the exit.
  • Add SandboxedPlannedDriver, registered only when an explicit loop-worker transport is supplied. The default remains the existing in-process PlannedDriver.
  • Add a Docker loop-worker session in ironclaw_sandbox:
    • starts the worker directly with stdin/stdout attached;
    • keeps active-exec accounting pinned while releasing the lifecycle mutex, allowing host-authorized nested builtin.shell Docker Exec in the same container;
    • bounds frames and diagnostics;
    • terminates the exact worker process on drop/cleanup.
  • Add the loop-worker binary to Dockerfile.sandbox-worker through a pinned Rust builder stage.
  • Extend the existing real-Docker sandbox-shell scenario. The scripted model calls builtin.shell, and the command proves the canonical loop worker is concurrently active in the same non-root user container before the normal product reply finalizes.

Trust boundary

The worker receives no database, secret-store, authorizer, Docker, or raw kernel handles. Every model/capability/transcript/checkpoint/progress/compaction call crosses the already-scoped AgentLoopDriverHost membrane. The host still validates and applies the returned LoopExit.

Host-assigned identity is supplied once in the host-created bootstrap; worker frames cannot select another run or scope. The private protocol is intentionally same-build only, not a stable public wire contract.

Scope and limitations

This is an architecture spike, not a production default:

  • local persistent Docker sandbox only; Railway keeps the in-process driver;
  • only the compiled default planned family is constructed in the worker;
  • host capability execution remains canonical, so shell still crosses host authorization and dispatch before executing in the same container;
  • one loop-worker process per claimed turn, not a resident daemon;
  • the runtime opt-in is explicit; absence is behavior-identical to today's in-process path.

Validation

Passed:

  • cargo test -p ironclaw_integration_tests --test reborn_integration_sandbox_shell_turn sandbox_shell_turn_executes_in_a_real_container -- --nocapture with IRONCLAW_REQUIRE_DOCKER_TESTS=1 — 1 passed, real Docker, canonical worker + nested shell in the same container.
  • cargo test -p ironclaw_loop_host remote_host::tests --lib — 4 passed.
  • cargo test -p ironclaw_host_api process --lib — 6 passed.
  • cargo test -p ironclaw_loop_host -p ironclaw_turn_runner -p ironclaw_sandbox --lib:
    • ironclaw_loop_host — 712 passed;
    • ironclaw_sandbox — 257 passed;
    • ironclaw_turn_runner — 307 passed, 1 failed on the pre-existing deterministic trace_capture::tests::capture_skips_when_policy_missing_or_disabled queue-directory assertion; it also fails alone and is unrelated to this diff.
  • cargo test -p ironclaw_architecture_tests — 315 passed across 42 suites.
  • affected-crate clippy with --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings for ironclaw_host_api, ironclaw_loop_contracts, ironclaw_loop_host, ironclaw_turn_runner, ironclaw_sandbox, and ironclaw_composition — passed.
  • cargo fmt --check and git diff --check — passed.
  • docker build -f Dockerfile.sandbox-worker -t ironclaw-worker:latest . — passed; final image contains executable /usr/local/bin/ironclaw-loop-worker.

Rollback

Remove the explicit loop-worker transport or revert this PR. Runtime construction then registers the existing in-process PlannedDriver; no persistence or schema migration is involved.

Review track: C (runtime/security/architecture/CI)

Workspace compatibility and rollback

  • Hosted profiles use one transport-neutral root: $IRONCLAW_REBORN_HOME/workspaces/tenants/{tenant}/users/{user}. IRONCLAW_REBORN_WORKSPACE_ROOT remains the explicit override.
  • Local Docker startup performs a one-time atomic move from the pre-Decision spike: persistent per-user sandboxed executor behind the trusted host kernel #7903 <profile-state>/sandbox-workspaces/users/<tenant-user-digest> directory into the canonical tenant/user path. It never copies or deletes user data.
  • If both legacy and canonical trees exist, or more than one legacy tree exists, startup fails closed with a manual-reconciliation error; neither tree is modified.
  • Rollback after migration requires moving the canonical user directory back to the legacy digest path before running an older binary.
  • Sandbox runtime metadata remains outside user subtrees under workspaces/.ironclaw-sandbox-runtime.

Review hardening

The worker wire is private and same-build, but the host still treats worker messages as untrusted. Host-owned RPC budgets now cap prompt/model/capability calls; model usage and failure summaries are reconstructed or sanitized on the host; concurrent RPC exchanges are demultiplexed by serialization; cancellation remains live during host calls; and failed worker termination stays retryable.

Known owner decision: the existing pinned iron-proxy credential replacement behavior is unchanged. Its rule schema cannot distinguish HTTP from HTTPS. The secure local alternative would disable credentialed sandbox commands until a scheme-aware proxy is available; the owner explicitly chose to preserve current behavior for this PR.

Spike rollout switch

Sandbox loop placement is default-off. The sandbox profile continues to run builtin.shell in Docker while the canonical loop stays on the host unless the operator explicitly sets:

IRONCLAW_REBORN_SANDBOX_LOOP_WORKER=true

Accepted values are 1/true and 0/false; invalid values fail startup. Rollback is unset (or set false) plus restart. The Docker full-turn regression explicitly enables the switch.

- share one quote-aware single_direct_argv predicate between kernel
  authorization enrichment and shell dispatch (host_api::process); reject
  path-form executables; single-quote backslashes stay literal; defined
  double-quote escape set
- constrain credential authority to active-extension declarations with
  deterministic collision rejection (no registry-wide first-wins)
- GitHub binding uses the CLI's real 'token ' authorization scheme
- delegate supports_credentialed_direct_command to the wrapped transport
  (Railway no longer advertises unsupported direct-exec)
- cancellation/panic-safe credential cleanup guard; teardown deletes
  material even when proxy reload fails; reject empty placeholders and
  header names before rendering replace rules
- keep secret material zeroized through bundle composition and atomic
  writes; ironclaw-exec emits outcome markers on spawn failure (126/127)
- cause-preserving staging errors; case-normalized credential comparison
  fields; fail-closed binding-validation and enrichment-authority tests
- re-capture host_api size ceiling (20_579 -> 20_728) for the shared
  parser move

Changes

Sandbox credentials and loop-worker execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Process and loop-worker contracts
crates/contracts/ironclaw_host_api/src/process.rs, crates/contracts/ironclaw_loop_contracts/src/...
Adds credential request types, secret redaction, environment validation, loop-worker session traits, bounded frame limits, and serializable cancellation signals.
Sandbox command execution and lifecycle
crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process.rs, crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/user_key.rs
Separates runtime state from workspaces, adds tenant-scoped workspace paths, migrates legacy workspace trees, and coordinates workspace activity with lifecycle gates.
Loop-worker wire protocol and driver
crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/src/remote_host/*, crates/loop/ironclaw_turn_runner/src/sandboxed_planned_driver.rs
Adds framed host-call RPC, bootstrap and outcome messages, cancellation forwarding, budget enforcement, checkpoint conversions, and the sandboxed planned driver.
Docker loop-worker session transport
crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/loop_worker.rs, Dockerfile.sandbox-worker, crates/loop/ironclaw_turn_runner/src/bin/ironclaw-loop-worker.rs
Builds and packages the worker binary, starts attached Docker Exec sessions, exchanges bounded frames, polls worker PIDs, and terminates worker processes.
Runtime and workspace wiring
crates/app/ironclaw_composition/src/..., crates/app/ironclaw_cli/src/runtime/mod.rs, tests/integration/support/harness/...
Carries the optional worker transport through runtime composition and resolves shared, scoped hosted workspaces under workspaces.
Sandbox integration validation
tests/integration/..., crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/tests/user_sandbox_docker_live/extra.rs
Enables scoped file capabilities and verifies shared file-tool/shell workspaces, worker persistence, and credential non-exposure.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 68c45

This opt-in change moves loop execution into a persistent user sandbox and adds new process, protocol, workspace, and cancellation lifecycles. Current issues could strand worker processes or runner capacity and include unresolved compatibility, credential-handling, configuration, and rollback-readiness concerns, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted by owners.

🔴 High · Enforce host-side limits on worker RPCs

The untrusted worker's calls are dispatched directly. It can repeatedly request BuildPrompt then StreamModel; each prompt issues a fresh host grant, while no host-owned iteration or sequence counter is checked. This bypasses the configured loop iteration budget and permits extra provider calls. Bind RPCs to host-owned invocation state and reject calls outside the approved sequence and budget.

🔴 High · Do not trust worker-reported terminal state

The decoded terminal exit is returned unchanged after crossing the sandbox boundary. The exit applier verifies references and checkpoints, but persists model_usage and a failed exit's safe_summary from that exit. A worker with valid host-created references can forge usage/cost accounting or inject unvetted terminal diagnostics. Reconstruct usage from host accounting and validate, redact, and bound worker terminal fields before applying them.

🟠 Medium · Pass runtime overrides to the sandbox worker

The parent runtime resolves planned iteration and model-availability retry overrides before selecting this driver, but the worker rebuilds its family with build_loop_family_registry(), which supplies no overrides. Opt-in sandbox runs therefore ignore configured limits and retry settings, including test retry overrides. Carry the resolved settings in the bootstrap and build the worker family with them.

🟠 Medium · Preserve canonical failure classifications

For AgentLoopDriverError::Failed, this converts the original reason_kind to driver_failed, and its display text omits the detail. Sandboxed runs consequently lose classifications such as model_credentials_unavailable and checkpoint_rejected that the in-process path preserves for terminal handling. Send the original safe category and detail over the wire, then validate them at the host boundary.

🟠 Medium · Forward cancellation while a host call is running

The cancellation select is inactive while this await dispatches a host RPC. In particular, a Compact call prevents a Cancel frame from reaching the remote host until compaction returns, even though the canonical executor races compaction and failure-explanation work against cancellation. Keep cancellation forwarding active concurrently with RPC dispatch.

🟠 Medium · Leave failed worker cleanup retryable

terminated is set before Docker termination begins. If creating or starting the termination exec fails, terminate() returns an error but Drop skips its fallback because the flag is already set, releasing the active-container guard while the worker may still run. Mark termination complete only after a confirmed exit, or retain a retryable cleanup path.

436-444: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Route seal failures through the cleanup path.

Line 444 returns immediately after obligations are prepared and an approval lease can be claimed. It skips obligation abort, invocation-state transition, and claimed-lease cleanup in Lines 445-477. A seal failure can leave the invocation and lease stranded, so a later resume cannot recover through the normal path.

Remove ? so authorized_dispatch_witness handles the Result. Add a caller-level regression test that forces seal_authorization to fail and asserts obligation abort, invocation failure, and lease cleanup.

inherited effects on the descriptor before asserting enrichment, and add an
authorize-level test that verifies selected credential handles reach the staging
witness.

In `@crates/kernel/ironclaw_capabilities/src/process_authorization.rs`:
- Around line 178-182: The remint flow must preserve the legacy fallback when
ProcessAuthorizedContinuation.descriptor is None instead of returning
MissingProcessAuthorization. In the process authorization remint logic, resolve
the descriptor from the validated registry binding before continuing, while
retaining the explicit descriptor path; add a regression test covering reminting
a persisted descriptor-less continuation.
- Around line 205-207: Update the Authorized::seal error handling in the process
authorization flow to retain the underlying sealing failure in the server-side

- Line 32: Replace the serde_yaml dependency with serde_yaml_ng and update
render_proxy_config_inner plus its test-side serde_yaml::Value parsing to use
the maintained crate consistently.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/README.md`:
- Around line 132-137: Update the credential-firewall description near
“per-tenant CA root key” to remove the false claim that the key never touches
disk. State the actual boundary: the key may be written to the protected
proxy-material location with restricted permissions, but is not serialized or
exposed to the caller.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process.rs`:
- Around line 912-935: Add a Tokio unit test near the existing transport command
tests that constructs a transport with inert Docker and no managed egress,
verifies supports_credentialed_command returns false, invokes
run_credentialed_command with a minimal valid request, and asserts it fails with
the managed-egress refusal before any Docker interaction.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/loop_worker.rs`:
- Around line 61-67: Change the detached cleanup task in the dropped sandbox
loop worker to log termination failures with tracing::debug! instead of
tracing::warn!, preserving the existing error details and message.
- Around line 114-135: Update the worker-exit error handling around
self.diagnostic in the loop worker to stop embedding raw diagnostic text in
RuntimeProcessError::ExecutionFailed. Return a fixed sanitized message for this
failure path, while retaining the details only through the existing redacted
server-side diagnostics mechanism; preserve the partial-frame and exit-code
handling.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/managed_egress.rs`:
- Line 654: The healthcheck command in the sandbox proxy configuration must stop
parsing serializer-specific YAML indentation and key formatting. Update the
configuration flow around proxy_ip and PROXY_TUNNEL_PORT to pass the
host-controlled tunnel address into the container (or persist a dedicated
single-line marker), then have the healthcheck probe that stable value while
preserving the existing netcat readiness behavior.
- Around line 210-246: Remove the duplicated fixture construction in the tests
module and update its ManagedEgressBundle::test_bundle and
ManagedEgressRuntime::test_runtime helpers to delegate to the existing cfg(test)
inherent constructors. Preserve the helpers’ current return types and
policy/material-root arguments while ensuring all fixture field values come from
the inherent methods.
- Around line 1247-1275: Update remove_credential_material to treat a read_dir
NotFound error for material_root as Ok(()), matching remove_material_file and
remove_material_directory, while preserving propagation of other scan errors and
the existing cleanup behavior.
- Line 750: Update create_proxy and clear_credentials to choose the proxy
renderer based on whether credential rules exist: call render_proxy_config for
empty credentials to preserve SNI-only end-to-end TLS, and call
render_proxy_config_with_ca only when credential interception is required.
- Around line 517-561: Update validate_credential_bindings to inspect
credential.expose_secret() before credential_bundle.insert(...), rejecting any
control characters with the existing invalid replacement-rule error. Add a
regression test covering a secret containing \r\n and verify the credential is
rejected before proxy staging.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/user_key.rs`:
- Around line 51-56: Document the workspace-layout compatibility plan for
workspace_path, explicitly stating whether existing root/users/digest
directories are migrated via a one-time digest-keyed move or intentionally
abandoned with justification; do not leave the relocation implicit.

In `@crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/tests/user_sandbox_docker_live/extra.rs`:
- Around line 313-317: Update
setup_failure_rolls_back_a_new_managed_egress_bundle to use a failure trigger
inside the setup closure after ensure_bundle completes, such as poisoning
proxy.yaml like proxy_config_failure_rolls_back_partially_provisioned_networks,
so the rollback assertions exercise cleanup of provisioned resources; do not
weaken the assertions. If no post-provisioning trigger is practical, rename the
test to describe pre-provisioning environment rejection.
- Around line 870-889: Extend the assertions in the live sandbox test around
cleanup.capture to inspect the proxy log and verify it does not contain the real
token. Preserve the existing command-output and worker-environment checks, and
use the available proxy log capture or retrieval symbol rather than checking
unrelated output.

In `@crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/src/remote_host/client.rs`:
- Around line 10-11: Replace the super::protocol and super::server imports in
crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/src/remote_host/client.rs lines 10-11 with
crate::remote_host paths, and replace the super::protocol import in
crates/loop/ironclaw_loop_host/src/remote_host/server.rs line 4 similarly; keep
imported symbols and behavior unchanged.
- Around line 59-84: Update StdioRpcClient::call_raw so concurrent
invoke_capability calls cannot consume responses belonging to other request IDs:
serialize the complete request/response exchange or implement shared response
routing keyed by request ID, while preserving cancellation and unexpected-frame
handling. Add a regression test through the caller that exercises
BatchPolicy::Parallel with concurrent calls and verifies each receives its
matching response.

In `@docs/internal/reborn/contracts/host-api.md`:
- Around line 620-644: Update the stale current-limit statement near the
network, secret, and mount policy injection section to acknowledge the sandbox
credential injection flow defined by the credential_contexts and invocation
descriptor contract. Remove or qualify only the claim that credential injection
is unavailable, while preserving any accurate limitations that do not conflict
with the authoritative sandbox behavior.

Outside diff comments:
In `@crates/kernel/ironclaw_capabilities/src/host/resume_support.rs`:
- Around line 436-444: Update authorized_dispatch_witness so seal_authorization
errors are passed into its existing cleanup path instead of propagated with ?,
preserving obligation abort, invocation failure, and claimed-lease cleanup. Add
a caller-level regression test that forces seal_authorization to fail and
verifies all three cleanup actions, using the existing test conventions.

Re-capture the ironclaw_host_api ceiling at 21_152.

@serrrfirat, verification on current head is conclusive.

production_rust_files selects 54 files and measures ironclaw_host_api at 21,152 lines. Line 933 still pins the ceiling at 21,065.

The gate passes because GROWTH_TOLERANCE raises the effective limit to 21,215. This does not satisfy the stated capture rule: the pin must equal the measured count, with tolerance separate.

The historical 21,002 value is obsolete. The required current correction is 21,065 -> 21,152.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Finish the sandbox path relocation in the architecture inventories.

The move to crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox updated only some path-keyed entries. The remaining old paths can create stale carve-outs or remove ratchet coverage.

  • crates/app/ironclaw_architecture_tests/tests/reborn_extension_specificity.rs#L273-L276: Repoint the github carve-out to crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process/network_allowlist.rs.
  • crates/app/ironclaw_architecture_tests/tests/reborn_struct_test_support_ratchet.rs#L115-L123: Repoint FrozenPathCount.path to the relocated ca.rs file and retain count: 3.

As per path instructions, moved code must not leave stale paths in architecture references.

Use a validated SandboxCredentialEnvName newtype for placeholder_env. The manifest path already validates this value, but the public contract still exposes an unvalidated Option<String>, contrary to .claude/rules/types.md.

@serrrfirat, the finding remains valid on current head 1d5481c862.

RuntimeCredentialRequirement.placeholder_env is still Option<String> at crates/contracts/ironclaw_host_api/src/capability.rs:299. The current test also assigns Some("ATLAS_TOKEN".to_string()) directly. The current branch has no SandboxCredentialEnvName type.

The shared validator exists only as is_valid_sandbox_credential_env_name(&str) -> bool in crates/contracts/ironclaw_host_api/src/process.rs:242. It does not validate contract deserialization. This violates the repository invariant for crates/**/*.rs: use validated domain newtypes rather than raw String for internal known-value shapes.

Please retain the finding and replace the contract field with an optional validated newtype.

Security Misconfiguration (CWE-183)

Reachability: Internal · Exploitability: Theoretical

Close the sandbox credential environment namespace.

is_valid_sandbox_credential_env_name accepts arbitrary uppercase names, and placeholder_env is passed into the sandbox process environment. Names such as NODE_OPTIONS, PYTHONSTARTUP, PERL5LIB, GIT_SSH_COMMAND, and PS4 can alter tool or interpreter behavior.

Reject the relevant loader, shell, interpreter, and tool families, or require a reserved prefix. Add regression tests for representative names. This follows the repository invariant not to weaken sandbox trust-boundary guarantees. The placeholder value is host-generated, so this remains hardening rather than a practical exploit.

@serrrfirat, the finding remains valid on current head 1d5481c8.

is_valid_sandbox_credential_env_name at Line 242 still accepts NODE_OPTIONS, PYTHONSTARTUP, PERL5LIB, GIT_SSH_COMMAND, and PS4. The test at Line 371 does not cover these names.

The validator is shared by the extension registry, host runtime, and sandbox lane. This keeps the sandbox credential namespace open to interpreter and tool control variables. This conflicts with the sandbox trust-boundary invariant in AGENTS.md: do not weaken sandbox trust-boundary guarantees.

Please reject these control variables or require a reserved credential prefix. Add regression cases for the listed names.

This trigger fails before provisioning, so the rollback test is now vacuous.

The comment claims the invalid env name fails "at command-environment validation after the bundle is provisioned". The code orders it the other way. In run_command_owned (sandbox_process.rs), validate_credential_env(&request.extra_env, &credentials) runs at line 757. prepare_workspace is line 758, the lifecycle gate is line 782, and ensure_bundle is line 785.

So INVALID=NAME fails before any managed-egress resource exists. The assertions at lines 324-326 still pass, but they pass because nothing was provisioned — not because rollback removed anything. setup_failure_rolls_back_a_new_managed_egress_bundle no longer tests rollback.

Pick a trigger that fails inside the setup closure (sandbox_process.rs lines 803-831), after ensure_bundle returns. The sibling test proxy_config_failure_rolls_back_partially_provisioned_networks does exactly that by poisoning proxy.yaml, which is why it retains its value. If no such trigger is practical here, rename the test to state what it actually covers: pre-provisioning env rejection.

As per coding guidelines: "Preserve the behavior; do not weaken the assertion to go green."

@serrrfirat, the current head does not support withdrawal of this finding.

At 1d5481c86270be100059fcde596261f291c2db12, the test still inserts INVALID=NAME at crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/tests/user_sandbox_docker_live/extra.rs Line 317.

run_command_owned calls validate_credential_env(...) at crates/lanes/ironclaw_sandbox/src/sandbox_process.rs Line 830. It calls ensure_bundle(...) later, at Lines 858-868. The request fails before managed-egress provisioning.

The test therefore still verifies pre-provisioning environment rejection, not rollback of a new managed-egress bundle. This conflicts with the repository invariant: “Preserve the behavior; do not weaken the assertion to go green.”

ironsh iron-proxy GitHub proxy audit log headers redaction

💡 Result:

In iron-proxy, audit logs do not automatically redact headers; header values are emitted in plain text in the audit log by default [1][2]. Users must exercise caution because sensitive information, such as authentication tokens or raw secrets, can be exposed if those headers are captured or logged [2]. To manage header exposure and audit log content, iron-proxy provides specific transforms: 1. Annotate Transform: This transform is used to selectively capture header values into audit log annotations [3][2][4]. The documentation explicitly warns that because these values are emitted in plain text, you should only log headers safe to expose, such as request IDs, and never log headers containing raw secrets [2]. 2. Header Allowlist Transform: This is a security-focused, default-deny transform that strips any request header not explicitly included in a configured allowlist before the request is forwarded upstream [3][2][5]. While its primary purpose is preventing credential leakage or header injection [4], it effectively prevents unauthorized headers (which might contain sensitive data) from even reaching the upstream service or appearing in logs as part of the request flow [3][2]. For secure configuration, it is recommended to place the header_allowlist after any secret-injecting transforms (like the secrets transform) so that injected credentials are not accidentally stripped, while ensuring that only necessary, non-sensitive headers are allowed to pass through [2][5][6].

@serrrfirat, the current head does not show an equivalent proxy-log assertion.

compound_github_cli_script_uses_proxy_placeholder_without_exposing_real_token still checks command output and the command container environment. It does not call managed_proxy_id or proxy_logs to check the proxy audit log for token.

The test is also #[ignore]. Normal affected-suite results do not execute this credential canary.

The finding remains valid under the sandbox credential-firewall invariant: secret values must not appear in logs.

secret handles.

`builtin.shell` input can select at most eight active extensions through the
`credential_contexts` array. The values are extension ids, not secret handles,
provider names, environment-variable names, or executable names. Before approval
or credential staging, authorization copies the selected extensions' complete
manifest-declared runtime credential requirements into the invocation descriptor.
Unknown, inactive, duplicate, over-limit, conflicting, non-privileged, or
non-sandbox contexts fail closed. An ordinary shell invocation with no contexts
receives no credential authority.

The authorized descriptor requirements are copied into the first-party process
request without secret material. The host process port atomically consumes the
staged handles and creates a fresh invocation-scoped opaque placeholder for each
requirement. Only those placeholders enter the sandbox process environment. The
sandbox proxy loads one invocation-scoped credential bundle and replaces a
placeholder only in its manifest-approved HTTPS header at its approved host.
This supports compound shell scripts and subprocesses without parsing commands or
making executable identity an authorization boundary. Authorization, staging,
and sandbox transport never branch on a provider.

Update the stale current-limit statement.

Line 148 says that network, secret, and mount policy injection into runtimes is not available. Lines 620-644 now define that injection path for sandbox credentials. Remove or qualify the stale limit so this authoritative contract has one behavior.

As per coding guidelines, docs/internal/reborn/contracts/**/*.md is authoritative when it disagrees with code.

Main advanced and GitHub retargeted this PR from the now-merged parent branch to main. I merged current origin/main, resolved all seven conflict files, preserved main’s IRONCLAW_REBORN_WORKSPACE_ROOT override, and kept the new profile-neutral default ($IRONCLAW_REBORN_HOME/workspaces for hosted profiles).

Post-merge verification:

  • workspace-root tests: 4 passed, including explicit env override, empty override rejection, local-dev cwd fallback, and hosted profile neutrality;
  • Docker full-turn coding regression: 18/18 passed;
  • sandbox runtime-state unit: passed;
  • clippy across all targets/features with -D warnings: passed;
  • architecture: 315 passed across 42 suites.

Merge commit: 87c80106b1. PR is mergeable again; CI has restarted on the new head.

Review-comment audit checkpoint before the final fix commit:

  • Collected with paginated GitHub APIs: 8 conversation comments, 3 submitted reviews, 35 inline comments, and 35 GraphQL review threads. All surfaces were accessible.
  • Evaluated 38 distinct atomic claims: 35 inline claims plus 3 outside-diff claims from the latest review summary. Review/conversation summaries duplicate those claims or are status-only.
  • 24 historical inline claims are outdated and already addressed or made obsolete by the merged parent/main changes.
  • 13 current claims are valid and actionable in this PR: host-owned RPC budgets, host-derived terminal accounting, runtime override parity, failure-category preservation, in-flight cancellation, retryable worker cleanup, diagnostic sanitization, background log level, workspace migration, RPC demultiplexing, import conventions, and scoped test approval leases.
  • DANGEROUS changes: host-call budget enforcement, terminal-claim normalization, cancellation/cleanup behavior, and the one-time workspace move. These alter security, accounting, or persistence behavior; fixes are fail-closed and covered by focused regressions.
  • One additional current security claim is valid but requires a product tradeoff: the pinned iron-proxy rule schema cannot match credential replacement by URL scheme. Blocking HTTP replacement without upstream scheme support means disabling credentialed sandbox commands. I am fixing every other valid item first and will leave no silent insecure fallback.

Outside-diff review summary for review 5039900401:

  • managed_egress.rs crate-qualified CA import — addressed in 1d5481c862.
  • Scoped integration approval leases — addressed in 1d5481c862; lease mounts now derive from the pending run caller while explicit overrides remain authoritative.
  • HTTPS-only proxy credential replacement — reviewed and confirmed valid/dangerous. The pinned iron-proxy rule schema cannot match on URL scheme. The secure local alternative would disable all credentialed sandbox commands; the owner explicitly selected “Keep current behavior,” so this PR intentionally makes no code change for that item and documents the decision in the PR body.

Verification: remote-host regressions passed; sandbox full suite passed; Docker full-turn 18/18; clippy with -D warnings passed; architecture 315/315.

Preserve the inspect_exec failure.

Line 130 converts a Docker inspection error to None. The session then reports that the worker exited without an outcome and without an exit code. This hides an infrastructure failure and gives the caller the wrong cause.

Map the inspection error with context. Log the source at debug! if the boundary error must remain sanitized. Add a regression test for an inspect_exec failure after stdout closes.

As per coding guidelines: “fail loud by default.” As per path instructions: “Fail loud: flag silent-failure patterns.”

Retain startup cleanup for PID-discovery failures.

start_exec launches the worker before wait_for_exec_pid performs inspection. Docker keeps an attached exec process running when the client stream closes. If inspection fails or times out, start_loop_worker returns without constructing DockerLoopWorkerSession, so no Drop path can call terminate_process. Add a caller-level Docker regression test and ensure the started exec is terminated before returning the error.

1363-1379: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject unsupported profiles before accepting the override.

If IRONCLAW_REBORN_WORKSPACE_ROOT is set, Line 1363 returns it for Production and MigrationDryRun. Those profiles therefore bypass the Line 1378 rejection and can receive a local workspace root.

Reject these profiles before reading the override. Add a regression test with the override set for both rejected profiles.

Proposed fix
 fn runtime_workspace_root(
     config: &RebornBootConfig,
     profile: RebornProfile,
 ) -> anyhow::Result<PathBuf> {
+    if matches!(profile, RebornProfile::Production | RebornProfile::MigrationDryRun) {

     if let Some(workspace_root) = optional_path_env("IRONCLAW_REBORN_WORKSPACE_ROOT")? {
         return Ok(workspace_root);
     }

The documented helper behavior states that Production and MigrationDryRun fail because they do not use the local runtime workspace.

Added the dead-simple spike kill switch in 216e27406f (current head after merging latest main: 94ccebbcf6). IRONCLAW_REBORN_SANDBOX_LOOP_WORKER defaults to false; only 1/true enables sandbox loop placement. With it off, builtin.shell remains sandboxed and the canonical loop stays host-side. Rollback is unset/false plus restart. Invalid values fail startup. The Docker full-turn regression explicitly enables the switch. Verification: switch tests 2/2, Docker full-turn 18/18, clippy -D warnings, architecture 315/315.

Local browser verification passed for both rollout states on head 94ccebbcf6 using the production WebUI backend and the current rebuilt sandbox image.

Flag unset/default false — run 7b3f50b6-89cb-41db-86b1-ee540657ee3c:

SHELL_SANDBOXED_FLAG_OFF
LOOP_STAYED_ON_HOST

The shell result recorded sandboxed: true, exit 0, and confirmed no loop-worker process was present in the container.

IRONCLAW_REBORN_SANDBOX_LOOP_WORKER=true — after restarting the same deployment home, run f76a9ef7-d8f8-47a4-87bb-a2d8b7ac5eba:

SHELL_SANDBOXED_FLAG_ON
LOOP_WORKER_ACTIVE_IN_SANDBOX

The shell result recorded sandboxed: true, exit 0, and found /usr/local/bin/ironclaw-loop-worker active in the same container.

This proves the switch changes only loop placement; shell isolation remains active in both states. Temporary browser state and containers were removed.

New-comment audit after the latest review: 5 new inline claims, all valid and actionable. DANGEROUS behavior changes: (1) serialize one-time legacy workspace migration so concurrent first commands cannot strand startup; (2) add a bounded cancellation grace period that force-terminates a silent worker, changing hung-run cleanup semantics. Other fixes are non-behavioral/safety coverage: preserve a safe transport error category without exposing raw diagnostics, correct the secret-redaction assertion, and add caller-level coverage for the default-off loop-worker switch. I will preserve explicit test overrides and keep all user-facing transport errors sanitized.

126-134: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the Docker inspection failure.

When inspect_exec fails after output EOF, .ok() converts the failure into exit code None. This returns a false worker-exit diagnosis and drops the Docker cause without a server-side diagnostic. Log the bound error with debug!, then return a sanitized transport failure. Add a regression test for an EOF path where exec inspection fails.

Proposed fix
-                let exit_code = self
-                    .docker
-                    .inspect_exec(&self.exec_id)
-                    .await
-                    .ok()
-                    .and_then(|inspection| inspection.exit_code);
+                let inspection = self.docker.inspect_exec(&self.exec_id).await.map_err(|error| {
+                    tracing::debug!(?error, "sandbox loop worker exit inspection failed");
+                    RuntimeProcessError::ExecutionFailed(
+                        "sandbox loop worker exit status could not be inspected".to_string(),
+                    )
+                })?;
+                let exit_code = inspection.exit_code;

As per coding guidelines: “fail loud by default”; as per path instructions: “Fail loud: flag silent-failure patterns.”

313-320: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Bound cancellation delivery before starting the grace period.

serve_loop_worker awaits SandboxLoopWorkerSession::send before assigning cancellation_deadline. DockerLoopWorkerSession::send awaits writes and flushes to the container stdin. If the untrusted worker stops reading, this await can remain pending, so SandboxedPlannedDriver::invoke cannot reach session.terminate(). Use a deadline-aware timeout for the cancellation send, and add a caller-level regression with a pending send that asserts termination. This follows the AGENTS.md untrusted-container and caller-level testing invariants.

Added the missing trigger/automation startup E2E in 68c455de03. The existing real-Docker full-turn scenario now starts with no container for the trigger owner, submits through the production TrustedTriggerFireSubmitter, waits for the shared scheduler to complete the triggered run, proves the correct tenant/user container was created with the canonical loop worker active, executes builtin.shell there, persists the final reply in the trigger thread, then reuses that same container for the interactive coding turn. Verification: targeted trigger scenario passed; consolidated Docker full-turn suite 18/18; clippy -D warnings; architecture 315/315.
