git-gate holds an SSH IdentityFile for push/fetch; cred-proxy holds
a PAT for HTTPS REST API calls. The two brokers are orthogonal —
the common dev setup names both on the same host (e.g. gitea.dideric.is
SSH for push, gitea.dideric.is PAT for `tea pr create`).
The original PRD 0010 wording called this a "configuration smell"
and rejected it at parse time. That was wrong; this drops the
overlap rejection from the validator and updates the PRD prose to
match. Tests flip from "rejection" to "coexistence" assertions.
Make the cred-proxy a per-bottle sidecar container on the bottle's
internal docker network instead of a root-owned process inside the
agent container. The boundary becomes container namespace
separation, matching pipelock and git-gate. Update summary,
problem, goals, in-scope, architecture diagram, components,
existing code touched, external deps, and open questions; add a
"Considered alternatives" section recording the rejected
in-container shape.
Per-bottle reverse proxy that holds API tokens (Anthropic OAuth,
GitHub PAT, Gitea PAT, npm) in a root-owned process; agent gets
only URLs in its environ. AWS / SigV4 explicitly out of scope.
- README architecture diagram drops the socat/ssh image box and
the agent's ~/.ssh/config; the prose-bullets section drops the
ssh image; the manifest example swaps `ssh:` for `git:` so
someone copy-pasting it picks up the new shape.
- claude-bottle.example.json: `default` bottle's `"ssh": []` is
gone (now just an empty bottle); the gitea-dev example already
uses `git:` since the ExtraHosts work.
- PRD 0007 carries a "Superseded by PRD 0009" header at the top
with a one-paragraph block explaining why; the file stays so
the rationale of the prior design is still in-tree.
- git_gate.py: drop the now-stale shadow-route mention from a
docstring (the validator went away in the manifest layer).
ssh-gate was built for non-git SSH (PRD 0007), but every
upstream currently declared in any bottle is a git remote, and
those now flow through git-gate (PRD 0008) with credential
isolation, gitleaks scanning, and `insteadOf` URL rewrites.
ssh-gate is left doing L4 forwarding with no gating value over
git-gate's path; carrying it means a redundant sidecar lifecycle,
a shadow-route validator between bottle.ssh and bottle.git, and
a third place to keep an SSH identity in sync.
Goal is straightforward deletion: bottle.ssh becomes a parse
error pointing at bottle.git, the SshEntry / SSHGate / socat
provisioner / pipelock allowlist branch all go away, and PRD
0007 carries a "Superseded by PRD 0009" header so the rationale
of the prior design stays in the tree.
- example manifest swaps the gitea-dev bottle from ssh: to git:
and shows ExtraHosts pinning gitea.dideric.is to its Tailscale IP
- README's git-gate paragraph names the field and the case it
solves (upstream resolvable on the host but not from the gate
container's default DNS)
- PRD 0008's manifest-field bullet mentions the field for parity
The gate now fronts every git operation, not just push. Fetch
(clone, pull, ls-remote) is mirrored via git daemon's
--access-hook running 'git fetch origin --prune' against the
real upstream before each upload-pack; fail-closed if upstream
is unreachable so the agent never serves stale data.
Push path is unchanged in concept (gitleaks gate → forward) but
the hook now pushes to 'origin' rather than 'upstream', matching
the remote name the entrypoint configures.
Per-bottle sidecar that fronts the agent's git remotes, runs
gitleaks via a pre-receive hook, and only forwards to the real
upstream on a clean scan. Upstream push credentials live in the
gate, not the agent — so a misbehaving agent cannot push a
secret-bearing commit past it.
Bug: git fetch failed with "connect to host
claude-bottle-ssh-gate-implementer port 30009: Connection refused".
OpenSSH treats a URL-supplied port (the user's remote was
ssh://git@gitea.dideric.is:30009/...) as overriding the
~/.ssh/config Port directive, so even though the config wrote
Port 30000 the agent dialed :30009 — where nothing was listening
because the gate had been assigned BASE_LISTEN_PORT + index.
Fix: the gate's listen port now equals the upstream port. Same
script, same socat, just port = entry.Port. Two entries on the
same upstream port are rejected at prepare time (the gate is one
container with a flat port space).
Re-smoked: probe nc github.com via the gate at :22, banner came
back as expected.
PRD 0007 updated to record the design refinement.
The gate's agent-facing leg sits on the `--internal` network, so
the forwarder image cannot rely on apk/apt at startup. Surfaced
by the DNS spike — a placeholder using `apk add socat` died
silently and gave a false-negative DNS-on-internal result.
Spike: container on a `--internal` user-defined network resolves
another container's name via the embedded resolver at 127.0.0.11
and reaches it over TCP, while egress to the public internet
remains blocked. The PRD's design assumption holds — no design
change needed.
PRD 0006 enabled pipelock's native TLS interception, which broke
git fetch over SSH from inside the agent: pipelock's SNI gate
rejects the SSH banner that follows CONNECT. Document the
architectural fix — a dedicated per-agent TCP-forwarder sidecar
built from bottle.ssh entries — so pipelock can stay maximally
strict on the HTTPS path with no SSH carve-outs.
After the open-question walkthrough, all four collapsed:
- Q1 (mount semantics): resolved to `docker cp` between
`docker create` and `docker start`, mirroring the existing
pipelock YAML handling. No bind mount, no UID/permission
concern. Folded into §Proposed Design > CA lifecycle as
"Sidecar install".
- Q2 (cert validity / TTL): pre-decided in the question text.
Per-bottle ephemerality is enforced by regenerating per launch,
not by short validity windows. Pipelock's defaults are fine.
Folded into §Proposed Design as a one-line "Per-bottle
ephemerality" note.
- Q3 (`passthrough_domains` shape): not v1 scope; the shape is
pre-recorded so the follow-up is mechanical. Moved into
§Out of scope.
- Q4 (stage-dir cleanup ordering): reading start.py confirmed
the ExitStack-then-outer-finally order is correct. Folded into
§Proposed Design as a "Teardown" note.
The §Open questions section is dropped. None of the four was a
real design question — they were verifications and pre-decided
items left in for defensiveness.

Supersedes the abandoned PR #8 (`mitmproxy-tls-interception`),
which built a mitmproxy + addon chain on the (falsified) premise
that pipelock could not MITM. Empirical proof from the impl-time
spike: with `tls_interception: { enabled: true, ca_cert, ca_key }`
in pipelock's config, pipelock answered a credential POST over
HTTPS with `STATUS=403 / body: blocked: request body contains
secret: GitHub Token` and emitted both `scanner:"tls_intercept"`
and `scanner:"body_dlp"` events. Standalone, no second proxy.
Net change vs PR #8: one sidecar instead of two, no vendored
addon, no addon-verdict pattern matching, no HTTPS-trust /
DNS / lookup workarounds. Same end-state behavior — pipelock's
DLP fires on plaintext for HTTPS hosts in the allowlist.
Also cleaning up the now-stale TLS-research notes:
- `docs/research/tls-mitm-for-pipelock.md` is removed. Its
entire premise (mitmproxy in front of pipelock) is moot now
that pipelock does the work natively. The mechanics of CONNECT
bumping and the CA-lifecycle considerations it documented are
the same as what pipelock implements; the PRD restates the
parts that matter for the integration.
- `docs/research/pipelock-assessment.md` had two stale claims
corrected: the "Pipelock does not perform TLS inspection (no
CA trust injection)" line in §Scope gaps and the
"no TLS termination" cell in the comparison table. Both now
point at the `tls_interception` config and `pipelock tls`
CLI instead.

Renames the file and rewrites the body around what actually shipped:
class-based BottleBackend ABC (not a free create_docker_bottle
function), the two-phase prepare/launch split, the backend/docker/
subpackage layout, env.py reshaped into a backend-neutral ResolvedEnv,
and PipelockProxy split between top-level and backend/docker/.
Across the package:
- claude_bottle/platform/ -> claude_bottle/backend/
- platform/docker/platform.py -> backend/docker/backend.py
- class BottlePlatform -> BottleBackend
- class DockerBottlePlatform -> DockerBottleBackend
- get_bottle_platform() -> get_bottle_backend()
- env var CLAUDE_BOTTLE_PLATFORM -> CLAUDE_BOTTLE_BACKEND
- dict _PLATFORMS -> _BACKENDS
"Backend" is shorter and more established as the term for a
pluggable strategy-pattern implementation. "Platform" was vague
(could mean OS, hardware, cloud) and mildly redundant — Docker is
itself a platform.
The previous PRD section claiming "the Backend protocol was
rejected" referred to a low-level run/exec/cp/network_connect
protocol; the name was never the reason. The PRD is updated to
describe that rejected design by shape rather than by name.
The bottle/agent concepts and the manifest schema are unchanged.
Cleans up references to the pre-refactor bash layout (cli.sh,
lib/*.sh, scripts/*.sh) across README, Dockerfile, the pipelock PRD,
and research notes. Refreshes line numbers in the oauth-token note
against the current cli/start.py.
