- `bottle:` in agent frontmatter is now optional; agents without it
are portable and require bottles to be selected at launch.
- Adds `filter_multiselect` to `tui.py`: multi-select picker with
ordered selection list, Space/Enter to toggle, Ctrl-D to confirm.
- `ManifestIndex` gains `all_bottle_names` and `load_for_agent` accepts
`bottle_names: tuple[str, ...]` to merge bottles in order at runtime.
- `merge_bottles_runtime` in `manifest_extends.py` applies the same
field-merge rules as `extends:` to pre-resolved bottle objects.
- `BottleSpec` gains `bottle_names`; `_validate` and `write_launch_metadata`
thread it through so `resume` replays the same bottle configuration.
- `cmd_start` shows the bottle multiselect after agent selection,
pre-populated from the agent's `bottle:` field when present.
- Existing agents with `bottle:` declared continue to work unchanged.
BottleSpec.manifest was ManifestIndex | Manifest — a union encoding
two lifecycle stages in one field. The union was unjustifiable:
it forced a type-narrowing workaround (loaded_manifest property)
on every consumer.
Clean split:
- BottleSpec.manifest: ManifestIndex (always; CLI-supplied intent)
- BottlePlan.manifest: Manifest (always; loaded by _validate())
_validate() returns the loaded Manifest directly. prepare() passes
it to _resolve_plan(), which stores it on the plan. All provisioner
code now reads plan.manifest.agent / plan.manifest.bottle — no
union, no asserts, no type: ignore.
BottleSpec.manifest is ManifestIndex | Manifest (pre/post _validate()).
Downstream code always runs post-validate so it needs Manifest, but
pyright flagged every .agent/.bottle access. The new loaded_manifest
property asserts isinstance and returns Manifest, giving pyright a
narrowed type without scattering type: ignore everywhere.
Also remove unused Manifest imports from test files and annotate the
_index() helper in test_manifest_agent_git_user.
Manifest now holds exactly one agent and one effective bottle (with
git_user overlay already applied). The old multi-agent/bottle
collection is renamed ManifestIndex. BottleSpec.manifest starts as
ManifestIndex from the CLI and becomes Manifest after _validate()
calls load_for_agent(); all provisioning code downstream reads
spec.manifest.agent / spec.manifest.bottle instead of indexing by name.
When a label is given it is now used verbatim as the slug (no random
suffix), so two launches with the same label collide by design. The
CLI re-prompts via the TUI name modal with a disclaimer when the
candidate slug is already in use among running bottles.
When a user names a bottle via the TUI label field, that name is now
used as the slug prefix for the container identity instead of always
falling back to the agent name.
Both docker and smolmachines resolve_plan.py duplicated: slug minting,
metadata writing, agent state dir setup, git gate / egress / supervise
preparation, env_vars merge, and manifest dockerfile path resolution.
These are now consolidated in bot_bottle/backend/resolve_common.py.
Each backend's resolve_plan retains only its own logic (container name
resolution + env-file for docker; subnet allocation + guest_env build
for smolmachines).
