- Strip pipelock from all unit and integration test fixtures:
proxy_plan fields removed from DockerBottlePlan/SmolmachinesBottlePlan
constructors; pipelock-specific test classes deleted or renamed
- Update test_sidecar_init: remove test_pipelock_loses_egress_tokens,
rename "pipelock" daemon fixtures to "git-gate" throughout
- Remove test_pipelock_binary_present_and_versioned from integration test
- Remove test_pipelock_answers_on_bundle_ip from smolmachines launch test
- Update _SANDBOX_BLOCK_MARKERS: remove "pipelock" marker (egress blocks)
- Dockerfile.sidecars: remove pipelock build stage and COPY; update layout
comments and port table
- egress_entrypoint.sh: update comments now that egress is sole proxy
- Clean up pipelock references in comments/docstrings across backend,
network, manifest, supervise, git_gate, yaml_subset, agent_provider,
sidecar_bundle, sidecar_init, egress_addon_core modules

Bundle daemons (pipelock, egress, optionally git-gate + supervise)
now actually start with their config files bind-mounted from the
inner Plans the docker backend already produces. Chunks 2d + 3
ran with daemons_csv="" so the bundle's init supervisor idled;
chunk 4b wires up the real path: agent → pipelock → egress →
internet (when routes declared) is now functional, modulo agent-
image gaps (claude-code / TLS-trust-store / git in the guest)
that chunk 4c addresses.
bottle_plan.py — added the four inner Plan fields:
proxy_plan: PipelockProxyPlan
git_gate_plan: GitGatePlan
egress_plan: EgressPlan
supervise_plan: SupervisePlan | None
Same shape the docker backend's plan uses. Docker-network-only
fields (internal_network, egress_network) stay at dataclass
defaults — the smolmachines bundle is on a per-bottle bridge
with a pinned IP, not docker's --internal + egress topology.
prepare.py — instantiates DockerPipelockProxy / DockerEgress /
DockerGitGate / DockerSupervise and calls their .prepare()
methods to write the per-bottle config files (pipelock.yaml,
routes.yaml, git-gate entrypoint/hooks, supervise queue dir)
under the per-bottle state dir. (The "Docker" prefix on the
class names is a misnomer here — .prepare() is platform-neutral,
inherited from each sidecar's ABC. A future cleanup could factor
the prepare logic out of the docker subpackage.)
launch.py — major rewrite:
- pipelock_tls_init at launch (always); egress_tls_init only
when the bottle declares routes (otherwise the CA files
aren't bind-mounted and openssl runs would be wasted).
- Inner Plans updated in place with launch-time CA paths +
EGRESS_UPSTREAM_PROXY = http://127.0.0.1:8888 (egress's
upstream is pipelock on the bundle's own loopback; same
container's network namespace).
- BundleLaunchSpec env + volumes built from the inner Plans:
pipelock.yaml + CA + key (always); egress routes + CAs +
upstream env + token-slot bare names (when routes); git-gate
entrypoint + hooks + per-upstream identity files (when
upstreams); supervise queue dir + env (when enabled).
- daemons_csv = ["egress", "pipelock"] + ["git-gate"] (if
upstreams) + ["supervise"] (if enabled).
- Token env values resolved from host env via
`egress_resolve_token_values` and threaded into the
docker-run subprocess env (bare-name -e entries in spec
inherit from there — values never land on argv).
Tests:
- 552 unit passing (no new unit cases; fixture updated to
populate the new plan fields).
- 5 integration cases passing locally (Darwin + smolvm + docker
+ not GITEA_ACTIONS):
* test_smoke_exec_echo — still works.
* test_localhost_reach_probe — host loopback still refused.
* test_egress_port_bypass_probe — <bundle-ip>:9099 still
refused, NOW WITH EGRESS ACTUALLY RUNNING (chunk 3's
127.0.0.1 bind-address is doing its job).
* test_prompt_file_lands_in_guest — still works.
* test_pipelock_answers_on_bundle_ip — NEW. From inside the
guest, wget to <bundle-ip>:8888 gets an HTTP response
(not "connection refused") — proves pipelock is actually
listening and the bind-mount + CA generation path works.
What's left in chunk 4:
- 4c: agent-image-conversion (claude-code + git + curl +
ca-certificates in the guest). Chunk 2d's alpine placeholder
stays for now.
- 4d: provision_ca + provision_git + provision_supervise once
the agent image has the required tools.

First slice of chunk 4: implement the two provisioning methods
that don't depend on agent-image tooling beyond `cp` and
`mkdir`. provision_ca / provision_git / provision_supervise
land once the agent-image gap is solved (chunk 4b+) — they need
update-ca-certificates, git, and the claude binary respectively,
none of which the chunk-2d alpine placeholder provides.
What this PR ships:
- `claude_bottle/backend/smolmachines/provision/` subpackage
with `prompt.py` + `skills.py`. Each routes through
`smolvm.machine_cp` / `machine_exec`. provision_prompt mirrors
the docker contract (file always copied; return value drives
--append-system-prompt-file iff the agent has a non-empty
prompt). provision_skills mkdir + cp per skill, matching
the docker backend's loop.
- prepare.py now writes the prompt file under
agent_state_dir(slug) with the agent's `prompt` body, mode
0o600. The in-guest path is `/root/.claude-bottle-prompt.txt`
(alpine has no `node` user; will become `/home/node/...` once
the real claude-bottle image lands).
- launch.py calls `provision(plan, machine_name)` after
machine_start. The returned prompt path threads to
SmolmachinesBottle so exec_claude can add
--append-system-prompt-file when the agent has a prompt.
- backend.py: provision_prompt / provision_skills now real;
provision_git is a deliberate stub (waiting on the git-gate
inner Plan + git in the agent image). provision_supervise
stays the chunk-2d stub.
Tests:
- 7 new unit cases (test_smolmachines_provision.py): argv
shape (mocked smolvm.machine_cp / .machine_exec),
prompt return-value contract, no-op-with-no-skills,
CLAUDE_BOTTLE_GUEST_SKILLS_DIR override, fail-on-missing-skill.
- 1 new integration case in test_smolmachines_launch.py:
end-to-end verification that the prompt file lands in the
alpine guest at /root/.claude-bottle-prompt.txt with the
expected content (via `bottle.exec("cat ...")`). The smoke +
the two TSI probes stay green.
552 unit + 4 integration (Darwin+smolvm+docker gated) passing.
What's left in chunk 4:
- 4b: thread the inner Plans (PipelockProxyPlan / EgressPlan /
GitGatePlan / SupervisePlan) through prepare + launch so the
bundle daemons actually run (currently daemons_csv="").
- 4c: the agent-image-conversion gap — get claude-code + git +
curl + ca-certificates into the guest image (build a
.smolmachine via `pack create --from-vm` after manual setup,
or push the docker image to a registry smolvm can pull).
- 4d: provision_ca + provision_git + provision_supervise once
4b + 4c land.

End-to-end launch flow for the smolmachines backend. Brings up
the per-bottle docker bridge + sidecar bundle, creates and
starts the smolvm guest pointed at the bundle's pinned IP via
TSI's `--allow-cidr <bundle-ip>/32`, yields a SmolmachinesBottle
handle that routes exec/cp through `smolvm machine exec / cp`,
tears everything down on context exit.
launch.py:
- ExitStack-managed: create_bundle_network → start_bundle →
machine_create → machine_start (each registered for reverse
teardown).
- daemons_csv="" for chunk 2d — bundle init logs "no daemons
selected" and idles. Real daemon bringup with inner-Plan-driven
env + volumes lands in chunk 4.
bottle.py:
- SmolmachinesBottle.exec → smolvm.machine_exec (captured).
- SmolmachinesBottle.exec_claude → direct subprocess.run with
inherited TTY for interactive sessions.
- SmolmachinesBottle.cp_in → smolvm.machine_cp.
Architecture pivots forced by smolvm 0.8.0's CLI shape:
1. `--from <smolmachine>` and `--smolfile <toml>` are MUTUALLY
EXCLUSIVE in smolvm 0.8.0. We need --from to avoid the
registry-pull race that bit us on machine_start (libkrun
agent's network attempt got refused by macOS with
"connect: permission denied" on IPv6). So Smolfile is dropped
entirely; per-bottle env + allow_cidrs flow as CLI flags
(`--allow-cidr CIDR`, `-e K=V`) directly to machine_create.
2. `smolvm pack create --image` doesn't pull from the local
docker daemon — only OCI registries via crane. The real
claude-bottle:latest image lives in the local docker daemon
and isn't reachable that way. Chunk 2d ships with an alpine
placeholder; the agent-image-conversion gap belongs to
chunk 4 (push the image to a registry, or smolvm grows a
docker-daemon transport).
Other changes:
- machine_create grew `image=` / `from_path=` / `allow_cidrs=`
/ `env=` kwargs; smolfile= dropped.
- bottle_plan: smolfile_path → agent_from_path + guest_env.
- prepare: pack_create against `alpine:latest`, cached under
~/.cache/claude-bottle/smolmachines/ keyed by image ref.
- Deleted smolfile.py + test_smolfile.py (dead code now).
Tests:
- Unit: 540 passing (smolvm wrapper grew 4 new flag forms; one
test renamed to reflect --from + --allow-cidr + -e combo).
- Integration: 3 new cases in tests/integration/
test_smolmachines_launch.py, gated on Darwin + smolvm on PATH
+ docker + not GITEA_ACTIONS:
* smoke: bottle.exec("echo hello-from-vm") round-trips with
the correct stdout + returncode.
* localhost-reach probe: agent dials 127.0.0.1:9 → connect
refused (TSI's <bundle-ip>/32 allowlist doesn't include
loopback). The regression test for the gap the PRD design
pivot was about.
* egress-port-bypass probe: agent dials <bundle-ip>:9099
(egress's port) → connect refused. Chunk 2d has no
daemons running so nothing's listening anyway; chunk 3
will preserve this property once egress is up but bound
to 127.0.0.1 inside the bundle.
End-to-end smoke + both probes green locally on macOS with
smolvm 0.8.0.
