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.
Manifest.resolve() now returns an empty-dict manifest with only directory
paths recorded (home_md, cwd_md). No content is read from any .md file
until load_for_agent() is called for a specific agent at preflight.
- Manifest.from_md_dirs: scan-only, no frontmatter parsing
- Manifest.load_for_agent: parses the selected agent file and its bottle
chain; works on eager (from_json_obj) manifests too by returning self
- Manifest.all_agent_names: scans filenames in lazy mode
- backend._validate: calls load_for_agent and propagates upgraded spec
- cli/info.py, cli/list.py, cli/start.py: use load_for_agent / all_agent_names
- manifest_extends.py: reverted to original (no partial-resolve helpers)
- manifest_loader.py: only scan_agent_names + load_bottle_chain_from_dir
- Tests updated to call load_for_agent before accessing agents/bottles;
test_md_agent_repos_deferred renamed to test_md_agent_repos_fails_at_preflight
Broken bottle/agent files no longer block the agent selector or prevent
unrelated agents from loading. Per-file parse errors are collected in
`Manifest.broken_agents`; the CLI selector includes them via
`all_agent_names`, and the error surfaces only when the specific agent
is selected and launch is attempted (in `require_agent`/`bottle_for`).
Closes#236
Apple's container exec --interactive --tty does not put the host
terminal into raw mode before starting its I/O relay. In cooked
(canonical) mode the kernel line discipline buffers modifier-key
escape sequences — e.g. Shift+Enter in modifyOtherKeys mode generates
\x1b[13;2~ — until a carriage-return arrives, so they never reach
Claude Code inside the container.
Add pty_forward.py, a stdlib-only wrapper (modelled on the existing
smolmachines pty_resize.py) that sets the host terminal to raw mode
via tty.setraw(), spawns the container exec command, and restores the
original terminal attributes on exit. Falls back to a bare
subprocess.run when stdin is not a TTY (piped invocations, CI) or
when termios operations fail.
Also retain the --env TERM=<host> forwarding from the previous commit:
without TERM inside the container session, Claude Code cannot determine
which modifier-key protocol to enable even with raw mode correctly set.
Non-TTY exec paths (bottle.exec, cp_in) are unaffected.
Without TERM, Claude Code inside the container cannot determine which
modifier-key protocol to enable (modifyOtherKeys / kitty). The inner
PTY session has no terminal-type context, so Shift+Enter and Enter
produce identical byte sequences (\r), making them indistinguishable.
Pass the host TERM via --env TERM=<value> on every container exec
--interactive --tty call, falling back to xterm-256color when TERM
is not set on the host. Non-TTY exec paths are unaffected.
Closes#245
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.
Remove the 8 non-bright and 1 bright-black colors from all color maps.
Rename the remaining 7 bright-* colors to their base names (e.g.
bright-green → green) so the palette is smaller and always vibrant.
Update _init_color_pairs in tui.py to always apply A_BOLD (all palette
entries are now bright variants), and fix all tests to match.
When a child bottle declares a git-gate repo with the same name as a
parent repo, merge field-by-field (child wins, parent provides fallback)
instead of letting the child entry silently replace the parent entry.
This lets a child override only `key:` without repeating `url:` and
`host_key:`. Change the merge key in _merge_git_remotes from UpstreamHost
to Name, which is the natural unique identity for a repo entry.
Closes#237
Replace the two mutually-exclusive repo keys (identity and
provisioned_key) with a single required key block. key.provider
is "static" (path to host SSH key) or "gitea" (deploy-key lifecycle
via provisioner_token env var, replacing token_env).
Internal fields: ManifestProvisionedKeyConfig → ManifestKeyConfig;
ProvisionedKey field removed from ManifestGitEntry; Key field added.
git_gate.py checks entry.Key.provider == "gitea" instead of
entry.ProvisionedKey is not None.
When $old != zero and $new is not a descendant of $old (detected via
git merge-base --is-ancestor), the hook now forwards +$new:$ref so the
upstream accepts the force push instead of rejecting it as a
non-fast-forward.
Closes#233
Add backend-agnostic terminal color support via OSC escape sequences:
- New backend/terminal.py with palette_printf() and exec_shell_script()
shared by both Docker and smolmachines bottle backends
- Emits OSC 4 (indexed palette) + OSC 11 (default background tint)
before launching; resets both on agent exit via OSC 104/111
- OSC 11 background tint is visible even when the TUI uses true/24-bit
colors (which bypass the palette), as Codex does for its chrome
- Fix Codex [tui] config: status_line=["model-with-reasoning"],
theme="ansi" (dark-ansi and cwd/directory were invalid identifiers)

Replace prompt-injection for display identity with native UI wiring:
- Claude: writes a statusline shell script + custom theme JSON, wired up
via settings.json so label/color show in the status bar and theme
- Codex: writes [tui] block into codex-config.toml (status_line,
terminal_title, dark-ansi theme)
- Both backends set the terminal title via ANSI OSC 0 escape before
exec-ing the agent when a label is present

Drop the parallel fields passed through prepare() → _resolve_plan and
read everything from agent_provision instead. The provider plugin now
declares its own guest_home (so the backend stops hardcoding
"/home/node") and the wrapper that builds the provision plan accepts
instance_name and prompt_file, which providers store on the plan.
DockerBottlePlan and SmolmachinesBottlePlan expose container_name /
machine_name, image / agent_image, dockerfile_path /
agent_dockerfile_path, and prompt_file as properties that delegate to
agent_provision so existing call sites keep working unchanged.

The recent refactor partially removed workspace planning and
capability-apply logic. This commit finishes the cleanup so the
test suite imports cleanly:
- Comment out workspace_plan field/property on BottlePlan and the
provision_workspace dispatch.
- Comment out workspace usages in docker.util (build_image_with_cwd),
smolmachines.provision.workspace, agent_provider.provision_git,
smolmachines.backend.
- Comment out capability_apply imports in cli.start and cli.supervise;
add a local CapabilityApplyError placeholder so the supervise CLI
module still imports.
- Break the bottle_state → backend.docker → backend circular import
by lazy-loading docker_mod inside bottle_identity, and by moving the
resolve_common import inside BottleBackend.prepare.
- Delete tests for workspace and capability_apply (unit + integration).
- Update test fixtures to drop removed kwargs (container_name_pinned,
derived_image, env_file, workspace_plan, agent_image_ref) from
DockerBottlePlan / SmolmachinesBottlePlan constructors.
- Delete the obsolete test_smolmachines_prepare.py (tested the old
resolve_plan signature; the shared prepare flow now lives in
BottleBackend.prepare).
- Adjust test_supervise.py for the new Supervise.prepare signature
(dockerfile_content arg removed).
925 → 897 tests, all passing.
guest_home is now a field on AgentProvisionPlan (set by each provider's
provision_plan() method). BottlePlan.guest_home becomes a read-only
property delegating to agent_provision.guest_home so existing callers
(provision_git, provision_skills, provision_prompt) are unchanged.
Both resolve_plan.py files drop guest_home from the plan constructor
call; the local variable still exists as an intermediary for the
workspace_plan call that precedes agent_provision_plan.
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).
