The control plane had no caller authentication — dispatch() routed every
request straight through, and the only guards anywhere were the
(source_ip, identity_token) checks inside /resolve and /attribute, which
authenticate the *bottle* a request is about, not the *caller*. On the
consolidated backends the agent shares a network with the control-plane port
(macOS: the infra container runs 8099 on the agent's --internal network;
docker: the orchestrator container sits on the shared gateway network), so a
prompt-injected agent could GET /bottles (enumerate siblings + policies),
PUT /bottles/<id>/policy (rewrite its own egress allowlist to allow-all),
POST /resolve (read the injected upstream credentials it's never meant to
see), and POST /supervise/respond (self-approve its own proposals). Every
README guarantee collapsed to the agent's discretion.
Fix: a per-host control-plane secret required on every route but GET /health,
compared with hmac.compare_digest. It is held only by the trusted callers and
never handed to an agent:
- minted + persisted 0600 at <root>/control-plane-token (paths.host_control_plane_token);
- injected as $BOT_BOTTLE_CONTROL_PLANE_TOKEN into the orchestrator + gateway
containers via bare `--env NAME` (value inherited from the launch process,
so it never lands on argv or in `container/docker inspect`);
- presented by the gateway's PolicyResolver (reads the env) on /resolve, and by
the host CLI's OrchestratorClient (reads the host file) on every call.
The agent container is never given the env var or the host file, so from a
bottle every /bottles*, /resolve, /attribute, and /supervise/* call now
returns 401 — closing the enumeration, allowlist-rewrite, credential-lift, and
self-approval. The existing (source_ip, identity_token) checks stay as
defense-in-depth.
Enforced when configured: macOS + docker inject the secret (→ enforced). With
no secret set the server runs open and warns loudly at startup — a
fail-visible fallback for the unit suite and for Firecracker, whose
port-scoped nft already blocks agents from 8099 (wiring the secret into its
infra-VM init is a clean fast-follow, left out here to avoid churning the
prebuilt-artifact hash).
Verified end-to-end on real Apple Container: infra comes up healthy, the host
CLI (with the secret) lists bottles while an unauthenticated GET /bottles gets
401, all five issue-#400 attacks from inside the agent get 401, and egress
policy still works (200 allowed / 403 denied) — proving the gateway
authenticates to /resolve with the secret. 1829 unit tests pass, pyright
clean, pylint 9.91.

The docker gateway container ran the supervise daemon but bind-mounted no
DB and set no SUPERVISE_DB_PATH — so the daemon wrote proposals to a
container-local, ephemeral SQLite file, disconnected from the host DB the
orchestrator (and now the operator, over HTTP) uses. Same split-DB bug
firecracker had; Dockerfile.gateway even documents the mount
(`/run/supervise/bot-bottle.db bind-mounted at run time`) that
ensure_running never provided.
Bind-mount the host DB dir into the gateway at /run/supervise and set
SUPERVISE_DB_PATH, so the daemon queues into the same file the
orchestrator container opens (its BOT_BOTTLE_ROOT bind-mount) and the
operator reaches over the control plane. One DB per host, shared by
bind-mounts — docker now on the exact same supervise path as firecracker.

One image — `bot-bottle-sidecars:latest`, built from `Dockerfile.sidecars` —
served two unrelated roles: the egress/git-gate/supervise *data plane* and
the orchestrator *control plane* (which ran the same image with the entrypoint
overridden to `python3 -m bot_bottle.orchestrator`). The control plane is
stdlib-only, so it needed none of the mitmproxy/git/gitleaks payload it was
riding on — while being the most secret-dense process on the host (PRD 0070's
"secret concentration").
Split into two purpose-built images:
- `Dockerfile.gateway` -> `bot-bottle-gateway:latest` — the data plane
(renamed from Dockerfile.sidecars; identical contents).
- `Dockerfile.orchestrator` -> `bot-bottle-orchestrator:latest` — a lean
`python:3.12-slim` runtime; the bind-mounted `bot_bottle` package supplies
the code (so the #381 source-hash recreate semantics are unchanged).
`OrchestratorService` now takes distinct `image` (control plane, default
`ORCHESTRATOR_IMAGE`) and `gateway_image` (data plane, default `GATEWAY_IMAGE`)
instead of feeding one `self.image` to both, and builds the lean image
(build-if-missing) before starting the container. The per-bottle bundle
constants in `backend/docker/sidecar_bundle.py` now alias the gateway
constants so a bundle and the shared gateway can never drift onto different
images. The `bot-bottle-sidecars` *image* name and `Dockerfile.sidecars` are
gone; the per-bottle *container* name prefix (`bot-bottle-sidecars-<slug>`) is
intentionally left for a separate change.
Verified end-to-end: both images build; the lean image runs the control plane;
`ensure_running` brings up the orchestrator on `bot-bottle-orchestrator:latest`
and the gateway on `bot-bottle-gateway:latest` (distinct images) and reports
healthy.
Closes#384.

Container-level counterpart to the ensure_built cache-aware fix. ensure_built
now rebuilds the gateway image on a source change, but ensure_running still
reused an already-running container built from the OLD image — so a rebuild
(even BOT_BOTTLE_NO_CACHE) never took effect on a warm gateway, and it kept
running the pre-fix flat daemons (this is why token injection stayed broken
after the rebuild). ensure_running now compares the running container's image
to the current image and recreates on mismatch. Validated on docker: a stale
gateway is detected and recreated with the current image + new egress addon.

On a fresh gateway container, mitmproxy writes mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem a beat
after mitmdump boots, so ca_cert_pem() read it too early and launch died with
'gateway CA cert not available'. It now polls (up to 30s) until mitmproxy has
generated it. Surfaced running the docker backend locally on a cold gateway.

The cut-over dropped compose (whose `build:` rebuilt the sidecar image on
every up), and DockerGateway.ensure_built was build-if-missing — so a change
to the gateway's flat sources (egress addon / git-http / policy_resolver /
supervise) left a STALE image silently running the old single-tenant daemons
(this bit e2e validation). ensure_built now always `docker build`s
(cache-aware: a cache check when nothing changed, a real rebuild when sources
moved), matching the old compose behavior. BOT_BOTTLE_NO_CACHE forces a full
rebuild (parity with #354's `start --no-cache`).

The consolidated gateway TLS-intercepts every bottle, so all agents must
trust ONE CA. Rather than host-generate + mount a CA, let the gateway's own
mitmproxy generate its CA into a persistent named volume and extract the
cert for agents — no host openssl, keeps gateway.py lean.
- DockerGateway mounts GATEWAY_CA_VOLUME at /home/mitmproxy/.mitmproxy so the
self-generated CA survives container recreation (it must not rotate, or
already-launched agents would stop trusting the gateway).
- ca_cert_pem(): read the CA cert (PEM) out of the running gateway
(docker exec cat mitmproxy-ca-cert.pem) — the agent installs this into its
trust store to accept the gateway's bumped certs.

The consolidated gateway ran on the default bridge; the model needs it on a
dedicated user-defined network that every agent bottle also joins, reaching
the gateway's egress / git-http / supervise ports by its address (no host
port publishing) — and the source IP the gateway attributes by is the
bottle's address on this network.
- GATEWAY_NETWORK = "bot-bottle-gateway"; DockerGateway gains a `network`
param.
- ensure_running now ensures the network exists (idempotent create,
tolerating a concurrent 'already exists') then runs with `--network`.
- Docker picks the subnet; the launcher reads it back (13c source-IP
allocator) to hand each bottle a pinned address.

Retire "sidecar" for the consolidated per-host path (PRD 0070 naming
decision): the orchestrator is the umbrella/control plane, and the
egress/git/supervise data-plane unit it runs is the "gateway".
- git mv sidecar.py -> gateway.py and the two integration + one unit test
files; DockerSidecar->DockerGateway, Sidecar->Gateway,
SidecarError->GatewayError, SIDECAR_*->GATEWAY_*, ensure_sidecar->
ensure_gateway, sidecar_status->gateway_status, container name
bot-bottle-orch-sidecar->bot-bottle-orch-gateway.
- Prose rename across broker/registry/egress/policy_resolver + PRD 0070.
- Preserved: the image name bot-bottle-sidecars, the
BOT_BOTTLE_SIDECAR_IMAGE env var, Dockerfile.sidecars, and PRD 0069's
own stage-name cross-references (that doc still uses "sidecar").
No behavior change. Full unit suite green (1679 tests; the 13
test_sidecar_init /bin/sleep errors are pre-existing NixOS-local noise).
