The main loop blocked on stdscr.getch() until the operator hit a
key — a tool call landing in the queue while the operator was just
watching wouldn't appear on the screen. The operator had to press
any key to trigger a re-render and see the new proposal.
Switch to stdscr.timeout(1000): getch returns -1 after 1s if no
key was pressed, and the loop re-renders with the latest
discover_pending() result. CPU cost is trivial; the loop body is
~one filesystem scan + curses draw per second.
Also restructure status_line lifecycle: was cleared right after
every render, which meant a timeout-driven re-render would wipe
the message ~1s after the operator's keystroke set it. Now
status_line is cleared only on actual key press, so messages
like "approved cred-proxy-block for [dev-xyz]" persist until the
operator does something else.
Detail view + prompt view are unchanged — they're modal, the
underlying proposal data doesn't move, and getstr can't tolerate
a re-render mid-input.

Extends the preserve-on-capability-block design to also preserve
state on agent crash, and snapshots the transcript on every
teardown so any resume (crash or capability-block) gets a warm
claude session — not a cold start.
- capability_apply: rename _snapshot_transcript → snapshot_transcript
(public; reused below). No behavior change in the capability path.
- cli/start.py: capture bottle.exec_claude's exit code; while the
container is still alive (inside the launch context):
* always snapshot_transcript(identity)
* if exit_code != 0, mark_preserved(identity)
Then the existing _settle_state runs after teardown.
Now the preservation matrix is:
exit 0 (clean) → snapshot + cleanup state
exit ≠0 (crash, Ctrl-C) → snapshot + preserve + show resume hint
capability-block → (already snapshotted/preserved by apply
before teardown; this path is a no-op
because the container is already gone
by the time exec_claude returns)
snapshot_transcript is best-effort — capability-block's earlier
snapshot is not clobbered when the container is already torn down,
and a missing /home/node/.claude is a warn + skip.
Tested behavior: clean exit doesn't preserve, non-zero exit
(including SIGINT/130 and SIGKILL/137) preserves; empty identity
no-ops both helpers.

`cli.py cleanup` already enumerated orphan containers + networks
and asked for confirmation before nuking them. Per-bottle state
under ~/.claude-bottle/state/ wasn't touched — accumulated forever,
including orphans from old code paths.
Add state to the cleanup flow with its own prompt: the trade-off is
different from containers (which are pure debris) because a state
dir may carry a resumable bottle (capability-block rebuild +
transcript snapshot) the operator still wants.
Output shows the resumable / orphan / rebuilt-Dockerfile / transcript /
preserve-marker flags for each state dir so the operator sees what
they'd lose. Both sections are skippable independently — answering
"n" to containers doesn't skip the state prompt.

Previously every bottle launch left ~/.claude-bottle/state/<identity>/
behind forever — metadata.json on every run, plus per-bottle
Dockerfile + transcript snapshot on capability-block rebuilds. The
metadata accumulated debris across launches; the only state worth
keeping was the capability-block rebuild bundle.
Make cleanup the default; preserve only on capability-block.
- bottle_state.py: .preserve marker helpers (mark_preserved,
is_preserved, clear_preserve_marker, preserve_marker_path) +
cleanup_state(identity) that rm -rf's the per-bottle dir.
- capability_apply.apply_capability_change writes mark_preserved
before teardown so cli.py's session-end cleanup keeps the dir.
- prepare.py clears any leftover marker at launch (start or resume),
so a marker from a prior capability-block doesn't keep state
alive past a subsequent normal session-end.
- cli/start.py runs the cleanup decision AFTER the launch context
closes: if is_preserved → print resume hint; else cleanup_state.
The resume hint moves out of the launch with-block (was previously
printed unconditionally — would have misled the operator about
whether state was actually kept).
Future-proof: cli.py never persists state speculatively. If the
agent wants to be resumable, it has to go through capability-block.

Replaces the cwd-hash identity with a random 5-char base36 suffix
per launch, so two simultaneous `start <agent>` invocations against
the same cwd no longer collide on container names. Each launch is
its own bottle.
State carries metadata: every prepare step writes
~/.claude-bottle/state/<identity>/metadata.json with the
(agent_name, cwd, copy_cwd, started_at) the bottle was launched
with. The new `cli.py resume <identity>` reads this metadata and
re-launches a bottle pinned to the same identity — picking up the
per-bottle Dockerfile (from a prior capability-block apply) and
the transcript snapshot under the same state dir.
- bottle_state.py: bottle_identity(agent_name) drops the cwd param
and gains a random suffix; BottleMetadata dataclass +
read/write/metadata_path helpers.
- BottleSpec gains an optional identity field — resume sets it to
pin the identity; start leaves it empty so prepare mints fresh.
- prepare.py: writes metadata at launch time; uses spec.identity if
provided (resume) else bottle_identity(agent_name) (fresh start).
- start.py: extracted _launch_bottle from cmd_start so resume can
share the launch core; prints `./cli.py resume <identity>` hint
at session end.
- cli/resume.py (new): reads metadata, reconstructs BottleSpec
with the recorded identity + cwd, delegates to _launch_bottle.
Errors clearly when no state exists for the given identity.
- cli/__init__.py: registers `resume` in COMMANDS + usage.
- dashboard.py: capability-block approval status line now appends
the `resume <identity>` hint so the operator can copy-paste the
rebuild command without leaving the TUI.
Closes the rebuild loop in PRD 0016: agent calls capability-block →
operator approves → bottle torn down with state preserved → status
line shows resume command → operator runs it → replacement bottle
boots with the new Dockerfile and prior transcript.

Phase 3 of PRD 0016. dashboard.approve() now dispatches to
apply_capability_change when the proposal is a capability-block:
cred-proxy-block → apply_routes_change
pipelock-block → apply_allowlist_change
capability-block → apply_capability_change (new in PRD 0016)
CapabilityApplyError joins the ApplyError tuple, so the TUI's key
handlers catch it the same way and surface failures in the status
line.
After a successful capability-block apply, dashboard archives the
proposal+response itself — the supervise sidecar was torn down by
apply_capability_change and can't archive its own queue file.
Without this, dashboard.discover_pending would keep surfacing the
resolved proposal forever.
No audit log for capability-block per PRD 0013 — its record lives
in the per-bottle Dockerfile state + transcript snapshot.
Tests stub apply_capability_change at the dashboard module level,
add TestCapabilityApplyWiring (call wiring, failure-keeps-pending,
no-audit invariant, archive-after-apply), and update TestApproveReject
to stub the capability path too so it stays docker-independent.

Phase 3 of PRD 0015. Adds the proactive `pipelock edit` path,
mirroring routes edit from PRD 0014:
- discover_pipelock_slugs() lists running pipelock sidecars.
- operator_edit_allowlist(slug, new) wraps apply_allowlist_change
and writes an audit entry tagged ACTION_OPERATOR_EDIT.
- New 'p' keybinding in the main TUI: discover slugs, prompt if
multiple, fetch current allowlist, open in $EDITOR, apply on
save.
- Extracts shared scaffolding into _operator_edit_flow used by
both routes-edit and pipelock-edit — DRY without sacrificing
the per-verb status-line copy.
- Footer updated.

Phase 2 of PRD 0015. dashboard.approve() now dispatches on the
proposal's tool:
cred-proxy-block → apply_routes_change (from PRD 0014)
pipelock-block → apply_allowlist_change (new in PRD 0015)
capability-block → no-op (lands in PRD 0016)
PipelockApplyError joins CredProxyApplyError under the ApplyError
tuple the TUI catches: failures keep the proposal pending and the
status line surfaces the message; no response is written and no
audit entry is appended.
Tests: existing TestApproveReject stubs both apply paths; new
TestPipelockApplyWiring covers the call wiring, failure-propagation,
and real-diff-in-audit invariants.

Phase 4 of PRD 0014. Adds the proactive routes-edit path that
doesn't require a pending proposal:
- discover_cred_proxy_slugs() lists running cred-proxy sidecars by
parsing docker ps output. Returns [] when docker is unreachable
or not installed (no exception escapes).
- operator_edit_routes(slug, new_content) wraps apply_routes_change
and writes an audit entry tagged ACTION_OPERATOR_EDIT (so a
future reader can distinguish operator-initiated changes from
agent-proposal approvals in the log).
- New 'e' keybinding in the main TUI: discover slugs, prompt if
multiple (or use the only one directly), fetch current routes,
open in $EDITOR, apply on save. CredProxyApplyError lands in the
status line; the operator can retry.
Tests cover audit-entry shape, failure path, and docker-missing
recovery for slug discovery.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Phase 3 of PRD 0014. dashboard.approve() now does the real
remediation for cred-proxy-block proposals:
- Calls apply_routes_change(slug, file_to_apply) which fetches the
current routes.json from the running sidecar, validates the new
JSON, docker cp's it in, and SIGHUPs the sidecar.
- Audit entry's diff is now the real before→after from the apply
return — not the empty-string placeholder 0013 wrote.
- On apply failure (CredProxyApplyError): no response file, no
audit entry. Proposal stays pending so the operator can fix the
input and retry. The TUI's key handlers catch the exception and
surface the message in the status line.
- pipelock-block + capability-block remain no-op approvals; their
remediation lands in PRDs 0015 + 0016 and the audit diff stays
empty until then.
- reject path unchanged: no apply, audit entry with empty diff.
Tests stub apply_routes_change at the dashboard module level so the
unit suite doesn't need a running sidecar; integration test in
Phase 5 covers the real docker exec/cp/SIGHUP plumbing.

Phase 4 of PRD 0013. Adds `claude-bottle dashboard` subcommand:
- discover_pending() walks ~/.claude-bottle/queue/* and gathers
pending proposals across all bottles, sorted FIFO by arrival.
- approve / approve-with-final-file / reject helpers write the
Response file the sidecar polls, and append an AuditEntry for
cred-proxy and pipelock tools. capability-block proposals don't
write to an audit log here (PRD 0016 captures via rebuild record).
- Stdlib-curses TUI: list view, detail view, $EDITOR shellout for
modify-then-approve, inline prompt for reject reason.
- `dashboard --once` dumps pending proposals to stdout without
bringing up curses — useful for scripted checks and tests.
For 0013 the audit entry's diff field is render_diff("", proposed)
because we don't yet have access to the live on-disk current file;
PRDs 0014 / 0015 fill in real before→after diffs once they own the
host-side config writes.

Removes the legacy `CLAUDE_BOTTLE_OAUTH_TOKEN` -> `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`
forward in prepare.py. Bottles that need claude-code to authenticate
must declare a cred_proxy route with role: "anthropic-base-url" — there
is no fallback that hands the token to the agent directly.
Drops the now-dead BottleSpec.forward_oauth_token field, the CLI
setter that read CLAUDE_BOTTLE_OAUTH_TOKEN from the host env at
prepare time, and the forward_oauth_token=False arg in the six
pipelock integration tests.
PRD 0010 and README updated; the dev ~/claude-bottle.json gains an
anthropic-base-url route so the implementer/researcher agents keep
working.
BREAKING: bottles previously relying on the implicit OAuth forward
will now produce an agent environ without any Anthropic credential.
Verified with --dry-run: a bottle with no anthropic-base-url route
yields env_names: [] (no token at all); a bottle that declares the
route yields ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL plus a non-secret placeholder for
CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN.
Delete claude_bottle/ssh_gate.py, the DockerSSHGate sidecar,
and the provision_ssh provisioner (~/.ssh/config + ssh-agent
wiring). Unwire the gate from the abstract BottleBackend
(provision orchestration drops the ssh step,
_validate_ssh_entries goes away) and from the Docker backend
(prepare/launch lose the `gate` kwarg, bottle_plan drops the
gate_plan field, dry-run JSON drops the ssh_hosts / ssh_gate
keys, y/N preflight drops the ssh-hosts block). cli/info now
prints declared git remotes instead of ssh hosts. pipelock's
docstring picks up the git-gate framing now that there's no
PRD-0007 boundary to call out.
BREAKING (dry-run JSON): the `ssh_hosts` and `ssh_gate` keys
are gone from `start --dry-run --format=json`. Consumers should
read `git_remotes` / `git_gate` instead.
Adds pyrightconfig.json (strict, Python 3.11) covering cli.py,
claude_bottle/, and tests/. Fixes the 49 strict-mode errors:
- Type DockerBottle.teardown as Callable[[], None].
- ResolvedEnv default_factory uses parameterized list[str] / dict[str, str].
- Erase BottleBackend generics at the registry boundary
(BottleBackend[Any, Any]) since selection is runtime-driven and
callers use the unparameterized interface.
- DockerBottleBackend.launch returns Generator[DockerBottle, None, None];
@contextmanager now flags Iterator returns as deprecated.
- Sidestep cli.list submodule shadowing builtins.list in main()'s argv
annotation via an aliased re-import in cli/__init__.py.
- Cast cfg[...] results in test_pipelock_yaml at the dict[str, object]
boundary.
- Annotate write_fixture's fn parameter and _manifest_with_runtime's
return type.
BottlePlan gains a to_dict method (abstract on the base, implemented
on DockerBottlePlan) returning a JSON-serializable view of the resolved
plan. `cli.py start --dry-run --format=json` prints it to stdout and
exits zero. --format=json without --dry-run is rejected — emitting JSON
during a real launch would race the y/N prompt.
The dry-run integration test now parses the JSON and asserts on
structured fields (agent, bottle, runtime, hosts sorted+deduped, etc.)
instead of regex-matching the human-readable preflight stdout. That
kills the magic-"8 hosts allowed" coupling — adding a new baked
default doesn't break the test.

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.
'bottles' was the package name when it held a single Bottle Protocol;
since we added BottlePlatform / BottlePlan / BottleCleanupPlan and
made it the home of platform dispatch, 'platform' describes the
package better. The 'bottle' concept (and the manifest field) stays.
CLI imports update from ..bottles to ..platform; internal relative
imports inside the package survive the rename unchanged. Git
detected all 7 file renames.
Add list_active() abstract method on BottlePlatform; DockerBottlePlatform
implements it with the existing docker ps logic. cli/list.py no longer
calls docker directly — it just dispatches the active branch to the
platform.
cmd_cleanup used to only sweep running containers via `docker ps`,
missing stopped pipelock sidecars and orphaned networks entirely. On
my host the new version surfaced ~10 stranded networks left behind by
SIGKILLed sessions — the kind of thing the old command implied it was
handling.
New shape, symmetric with start:
- BottleCleanupPlan (abstract, in bottles/__init__.py) with `print` +
`empty` abstract members.
- DockerBottleCleanupPlan (concrete, in bottles/docker.py) carrying
the resolved tuples of containers and networks.
- BottlePlatform gains abstract prepare_cleanup() + cleanup(plan).
DockerBottlePlatform implements both:
- prepare_cleanup: docker ps -a + docker network ls, both
filtered to ^claude-bottle-, sorted for stable output.
- cleanup: docker rm -f containers first (they hold the network
attachment), then docker network rm.
- cmd_cleanup is now ~25 lines: prepare → print → y/N → cleanup.
DockerBottlePlatform.launch already runs 'docker build' on every
start, and the layer cache makes no-change rebuilds nearly free.
Anything 'cli.py build' did, 'cli.py start' does for you.
- Add BottlePlan (frozen dataclass + ABC) with spec, stage_dir, and an
abstract `print(*, remote_control)` method.
- DockerBottlePlan now inherits from BottlePlan; spec/stage_dir come
from the base, Docker-specific fields stay on the subclass.
- Move BottleSpec from bottles/docker.py to bottles/__init__.py so the
cross-platform types live together. docker.py pulls them via
`from . import ...`.
- Move show_plan from cli/start.py to `DockerBottlePlan.print`. Caller
becomes `plan.print(remote_control=...)`. The CLI no longer reads
any Docker-specific fields.
- BottlePlatform.prepare is now typed `Callable[..., BottlePlan]`.
cmd_start drops ~46 more lines.
The spec is intent-only and platform-agnostic — only the plan carries
Docker-specific fields. Drop the 'Docker' prefix and re-export from
claude_bottle.bottles so callers see it as cross-platform.
The Docker factory had absorbed live container ops but left the
host-side prep (image-name resolution, container-name collision
retry, pipelock yaml generation, env_resolve writes, host
validation) in cli/start.py. That kept ~half the Docker-specific
logic outside the abstraction.
Split the factory into two phases:
prepare_docker_bottle(spec, stage_dir=...) -> DockerBottlePlan
Resolves names, validates skills/SSH, writes scratch files.
No Docker resources created yet.
launch_docker_bottle(plan) -> ContextManager[Bottle]
Builds image, creates networks, boots pipelock, runs the
agent container, provisions files. Teardown on exit.
DockerBottleSpec shrinks to intent-only inputs (manifest, agent
name, --cwd flag, user_cwd, forward_oauth_token). The CLI no longer
references docker_mod, pipelock, skills, ssh, or env_resolve.
get_bottle_factory becomes get_bottle_platform returning a
BottlePlatform with .prepare and .launch — one selectable thing per
platform.
The Bottle handle now remembers the in-container prompt path and
adds --append-system-prompt-file to claude's argv when present, so
the CLI no longer needs to know the path.
cmd_start: ~148 lines down from 229. Tests pass; dry-run output
byte-identical.
Introduce claude_bottle/bottles/ with a Bottle Protocol and a
get_bottle_factory() that dispatches on CLAUDE_BOTTLE_PLATFORM
(default "docker"). Move every Docker-specific subprocess.run call
from cli/start.py, plus the orchestration of build, networks, the
pipelock sidecar, container launch, and per-container provisioning
(prompt, skills, ssh, .git), into create_docker_bottle.
Drop bottles[].runtime from the manifest schema. Auto-detect whether
gVisor is registered with the daemon and pass --runtime=runsc when it
is; the preflight shows the resolved runtime so the choice is visible.
Manifests still carrying 'runtime' get a clear error pointing at the
auto-detect behavior, rather than silent ignore.
Out of scope: cli/cleanup.py and cli/list.py still call docker
directly. They enumerate active bottles across the host, which is a
separate concern from "create a bottle" and is left for a follow-up
that introduces a list_active/cleanup primitive on the factory.
Replace the TypedDict + 14 manifest_* free functions with frozen
dataclasses (SshEntry, BottleEgress, Bottle, Agent, Manifest) carrying
their own validators and constructors. Call sites import Manifest and
chain attribute access; the manifest_* helpers and manifest_validate
are gone.
Behavior changes worth flagging:
- Agent.bottle is now required (was optional with a "(none)" fallback).
Manifest.from_json_obj dies if any agent lacks a 'bottle' field or
references an undefined bottle, where previously start.py raised the
error lazily for the specific agent being launched.
- ssh.py now takes SshEntry instances; Host/IdentityFile shape checks
moved upstream into Manifest construction, leaving only the IdentityFile
filesystem-existence check in ssh_validate_entries.
- pipelock_bottle_allowlist's per-element string check is dropped — the
Manifest validator enforces it at load.

Bottles can now set "runtime": "runsc" to launch the agent container
under gVisor instead of runc, adding a userspace syscall barrier
between the agent and the host kernel. Default is runc (Docker
default). Pipelock stays on the default runtime per the research doc's
minimum-diff prescription.
The launcher verifies runsc is registered with the daemon before
launch, surfaces the runtime in the preflight plan, and dies with an
install pointer (and a macOS-not-supported note) when runsc is
requested but unavailable.

cmd_build was ignoring its argv, so 'cli.py build --help' fell through
and started a docker build instead of printing the subcommand's
argparse help. Wire up an empty parser so --help and unknown args are
handled the same way the other subcommands handle them.

One file per subcommand under claude_bottle/cli/, with shared constants
and the tty helper in _common.py and dispatch in __init__.py. The
public import (from claude_bottle.cli import main) is unchanged, so
the root cli.py entrypoint and the test suite see no surface change.
