`doctor` told users to run `./cli.py backend setup`. cli.py is a four-line
wrapper at the repo root that calls bot_bottle.cli:main, and it does not ship —
[tool.setuptools.packages.find] includes only bot_bottle*, so anyone who
installed rather than cloned has no such file. Confirmed against a real
install: the user's tree contains exactly one executable, `bot-bottle`, and no
cli.py anywhere, while doctor recommended `./cli.py` three times. Invisible in
development, where ./cli.py works fine from a checkout, which is why only a
clean-install test surfaced it.
The two entry points are the same code, so the fix is to name the one that
always exists. 141 replacements across 45 files: the runtime messages that
caused this, plus README, docs, PRDs, research notes and test prose, so nothing
teaches the invocation a user cannot run.
scripts/demo.sh is deliberately untouched — it *executes* ./cli.py from a
checkout, where that is the correct and available path.
Verified end to end: a sandbox install now reports
"Run: bot-bottle backend setup --backend=firecracker", and bot-bottle is on
that user's PATH. Unit suite unchanged against the pre-existing baseline.

Both variants now pass, and the with-prerequisites run settled several things
that were guesses before:
* The Apple `container` service is per-user, confirmed directly rather than
inferred: the throwaway account's appRoot is its own
(/Users/bbtest/Library/Application Support/com.apple.container/), and
starting it left the admin's service running and its agents intact.
* Setting up a new account is two steps, not one. The guest kernel lives in
that same per-user app root, so a fresh account has none and
`container system start` prompts to download it — and only prompts, since
the flags default to asking. Headless callers need
--enable-kernel-install.
* Neither step is performed by `bot-bottle backend setup
--backend=macos-container`, which checks and then defers to `container
system start`. So the real path for a new account is
`container system start --enable-kernel-install`.
* Any of it requires entering the user's launchd domain with `launchctl
asuser`, because the apiserver is a per-user agent reached over XPC.

"Does the installer work" and "can a new user actually run a bottle" are
different questions, and collapsing them is what made the previous run
ambiguous. Split them into two cycles over the same throwaway account:
test a macOS system WITHOUT the prerequisites set up for this user,
which is the default state of every new account since the Apple
`container` service is per-user. Asserts the install is sound;
reports backend readiness without failing on it, because
install.sh provides no backend and cannot regress one.
test-ready the same system WITH them. Runs `container system start` for the
throwaway user, then demands doctor go fully green, backend
included — the end-to-end claim.
The new `prereqs` step runs `container system start` rather than
`bot-bottle backend setup --backend=macos-container`, because that subcommand
does not start anything: it checks, then tells you to run `container system
start` yourself (backend/macos_container/setup.py, "no privileged host setup
required"). The harness runs what the product actually asks for.
test-ready sets BB_TEST_REQUIRE_BACKEND, so it demands exactly what `test`
merely reports. Both share one cycle function; the step count and the PASS
claim are the only differences beyond the extra step, so neither variant can
drift from the other's teardown or dirty-account guarantees.
Rig covers the distinguishing case directly: identical host state where `test`
passes on install soundness and `test-ready` starts the service and reaches a
green backend, plus the service-start failure and an install failure under
test-ready. 22 scenarios, all passing.

The first run against the branch's own code confirmed the doctor fix — no
traceback, the firecracker probes now report "TAP pool: 0/8" instead of dying
on PermissionError — and then failed for a reason the installer cannot fix.
The Apple `container` service is per-USER. `container system status` reports an
appRoot under ~/Library/Application Support/com.apple.container/, and bbtest
sees "container system service: NOT running" while the creating admin's is
running. A brand-new account therefore has no backend until it runs
`container system start` once, doctor rightly fails, and `test` would be
permanently red for host state that install.sh neither creates nor can regress.
So stop treating doctor's exit code as one verdict. `test` now fails when the
install is broken — no entry point, doctor crashed, or doctor could not report
a usable python and config dir — and reports backend readiness as a note.
BB_TEST_REQUIRE_BACKEND=1 restores the strict behaviour.
A traceback is checked for explicitly rather than inferred from the exit code,
because those are the same value. The PermissionError bug exited non-zero
exactly like a missing prerequisite does; only the traceback distinguishes a
defect from an environment fact, and that distinction is the whole point of
this change.
The research doc's footprint table had the service as a host-wide launchd
service that survives user deletion. It does not. The state lives in the home
and goes with it, so the reset is more complete than claimed — but the
corollary is that a fresh account cannot run a bottle until the service is
started for it.

The harness's second run hit the wall the first one predicted: a fresh account
has no pipx, so install.sh fell to `pip install --user`, and every Python a Mac
offers — Homebrew and python.org alike — is externally managed, so PEP 668
blocked it. That fallback was never a fallback on macOS; it was a dead end that
printed instructions.
Replace it with a venv at ~/.bot-bottle/venv (BOT_BOTTLE_VENV to move it),
with the console script symlinked into ~/.local/bin. PEP 668 does not apply
inside a venv, and venv is stdlib, so unlike pipx there is nothing to bootstrap
first. pipx stays the preferred path when present, so anyone already managing
their Python apps that way is unaffected — and the post-install PATH check now
asks pipx for PIPX_BIN_DIR instead of assuming ~/.local/bin.
Keeping the venv under ~/.bot-bottle rather than ~/.local/share means the whole
footprint stays in one directory, which is what lets the throwaway-account
teardown remain a complete reset.
This removes the PEP 668 pre-flight and the sysconfig user-scheme lookup, both
of which existed only to serve the --user path. Their tests go with them:
* `detects_externally_managed_python` asserted the check that is now moot;
replaced by one asserting pipx is still preferred when present.
* `checks_pip_usable_before_fallback` pinned a pip probe that no longer runs;
replaced by one asserting the venv's own pip does the install, since using
the base interpreter's would install outside the venv.
* `resolves_user_scripts_dir_not_hardcoded` and
`macos_user_scheme_is_not_dot_local_bin` guarded the ~/Library/Python
scripts-dir lookup. Nothing installs there now. The surviving "don't
hardcode" concern is pipx's bin dir, which has its own test.
Five tests are added for the new path: the venv fallback exists, no --user path
survives, the venv is under the config dir, venv creation failure names
python3-venv (Debian ships it separately), and the entry point is exposed
outside the venv.
Verified end to end in a sandbox HOME with a fresh-account PATH and no pipx:
venv built, package installed, symlink created, `doctor` reached and green
(python 3.14.5, macos-container ready), exit 0.

`test` chains up -> run -> status -> down, which is the loop you actually want
when verifying a clean install. Three things make it more than a convenience
wrapper:
* It refuses to start against an existing account. A reused home is not a clean
install, so testing one silently would defeat the harness.
* It tears the account down from an EXIT/INT trap armed the moment the account
exists, so a failed run — or a Ctrl-C mid-install — still leaves the machine
clean. BB_TEST_KEEP=1 opts out to poke at a failure.
* Its verdict is stricter than the installer's. install.sh exits 0 when it
finishes but `doctor` reports unmet prerequisites, so "the installer
succeeded" is not a useful assertion; `test` fails if the install fails, if
bot-bottle never reached the new user's PATH, or if doctor is unhappy. That
meant giving cmd_status a real exit status instead of swallowing doctor's.
Also fixes two bugs in `run`'s installer staging, by removing the staging
entirely and feeding install.sh in on stdin:
* `mktemp /tmp/bb-install.XXXXXX.sh` did not do what it looks like. BSD mktemp
only substitutes trailing Xs, so every run wrote the *same* predictable path,
as root, mode 644, in a world-writable directory.
* The cleanup only ran on the normal and failure returns, so an interrupted run
leaked the file.
Piping on stdin sidesteps both: root opens the redirect before sudo drops
privileges, so the mode-700 home that motivated the staging is a non-issue,
there is no file to leak, and `sh -s` matches the documented `curl … | sh`
shape more closely than executing a staged copy did.
The command-level `exit 1`s become `return 1` so the steps compose under the
trap, and the "next, run this" hints are suppressed inside `test`.

Add scripts/macos-install-test.sh, a throwaway-user harness for exercising
install.sh the way a brand-new user would on macOS, plus the research note
that motivates the approach.
The harness has up/run/status/down/deep-reset subcommands. Because install.sh
writes only to the user home (pipx venv, ~/.bot-bottle, a PATH line) and never
installs the backend, deleting the account is a complete, deterministic reset
of the install surface. A disposable macOS VM can't stand in on M1/M2: the
Apple `container` backend needs Virtualization.framework, and running it inside
a guest VM requires nested virtualization (M3+ only), so a throwaway user is
the only way to reach the real host backend from a clean $HOME.

Addresses the third review round on PR #481.
- `bot-bottle doctor` now checks `is_backend_ready()` (a full backend
status() probe: daemon reachable, network pool present, KVM usable)
instead of the cheap PATH-only `is_backend_available()`. A host with a
stopped Docker daemon or half-configured Firecracker no longer reports
`ok: backend` / exit 0 when `start` can't actually work; each not-ready
backend prints its own diagnostics, and doctor passes only if at least
one backend is ready.
- `install.sh` resolves the pip `--user` scripts directory from the
interpreter (`sysconfig.get_path("scripts", get_preferred_scheme("user"))`)
instead of hardcoding `~/.local/bin`, which is wrong on a python.org
macOS interpreter (`~/Library/Python/<X.Y>/bin`). The PATH guidance now
prints the actual directory.
Tests: doctor tests mock `is_backend_ready` (the readiness contract) and
cover the not-ready → fail path; a new install-script test drives the
macOS `osx_framework_user` scheme and asserts it resolves a
non-~/.local/bin directory.

Addresses the review on PR #481.
Self-contained wheel (review point 1): the gateway/infra/orchestrator
images build from a context that must hold bot_bottle/, pyproject.toml,
and the root-level Dockerfiles. Modules previously located these by
walking __file__ to the repo root, so an installed wheel (package in
site-packages, no repo root) passed `doctor` but failed `start`.
- Add bot_bottle/resources.py: build_root() returns the repo root in a
checkout (unchanged) or a staged copy from the wheel's bundled
_resources/ otherwise; dockerfile()/nix_netpool_module()/
netpool_script() derive from it.
- setup.py bundles the root Dockerfiles, nix module, netpool script, and
pyproject.toml into bot_bottle/_resources/ at build; MANIFEST.in ships
them in the sdist.
- Route every _REPO_ROOT/_REPO_DIR call site (docker/macos launch, macos
infra, firecracker infra_vm/infra_artifact/setup, orchestrator
lifecycle/gateway) through resources. Checkout behavior is unchanged.
install.sh prerequisites (review point 2): check for git when installing
a git+ spec, and — before the pip fallback — that pip is usable and the
interpreter isn't externally managed (PEP 668), pointing at pipx.
Tests: test_resources covers checkout + staged-wheel layouts;
test_wheel_install builds the wheel, installs it into an isolated venv,
and asserts `doctor` runs and build_root() yields a valid context.
Running `start` end-to-end still needs a Docker/KVM host (CI).

Give bot-bottle a real distribution path so new users can install
without cloning the repo:
- pyproject.toml: full project metadata, a `bot-bottle` console-script
entry point (bot_bottle.cli:main), and package-data for the runtime
assets (Dockerfiles, egress entrypoint, netpool defaults, macos init).
Still zero runtime pip dependencies.
- install.sh: POSIX, sudo-free, idempotent bootstrapper — checks Python
>= 3.11, creates ~/.bot-bottle/{agents,bottles,contrib}, installs via
pipx (pip --user fallback), then runs `bot-bottle doctor`.
- `bot-bottle doctor`: new store-free subcommand reporting Python
version, backend availability (reuses is_backend_available rather than
hardcoding Docker), and config-dir presence. Exits non-zero when a hard
prerequisite is unmet.
- PRD prd-new-install-script and unit tests for doctor, the packaging
contract, and the install script.

provisioning/revocation; only the legacy per-bottle git:// daemon is

Adds an `integration-macos` job that runs the integration suite against
BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=macos-container on a self-hosted host-mode macOS runner
(label `macos`), plus the PRD and provisioning docs.
The job is advisory (push-to-main + workflow_dispatch only, never PRs, not
in coverage.needs) since it targets a single non-redundant laptop. It
preflights `container`/`backend status` so a misprovisioned runner fails
loudly, serializes on a concurrency group, and tears down the
`bot-bottle-mac-infra` singleton on exit (#425).
Also relaxes the TestSandboxEscape CI skip guard: it skipped every backend
but firecracker under GITEA_ACTIONS, which would also skip on a host-mode
macOS runner. The guard's real target is the containerized act_runner, so
it now allows both host-mode backends (firecracker, macos-container)
through — otherwise the macOS job would go green while skipping the one
end-to-end test that proves the backend launches.

Remove the empty-key opt-out codex flagged: ControlPlaneProvisioning
no longer lets the orchestrator start without a signing key when a
backend declares an "isolated" topology. Host separation is not the
safety condition — the gateway (and any other caller) must reach the
control-plane listener for /resolve, so an open orchestrator would
still grant them full `cli`. The signing key is now mandatory for
every backend.
Drops the now-purposeless Topology/COLOCATED machinery (no backend
declared a non-default topology) and the contractual
test_orchestrator_key_allows_empty_when_isolated. Updates the PRD's
invariant 4 and lifecycle docstring accordingly. Docs/behaviour only
otherwise.

Address review on #482: drop the generic "credential boundary" framing in the
PRD and docstrings and talk about the specific services — the orchestrator holds
the control-plane key; the host controller (#468) gets a separate key the
orchestrator never holds, so the orchestrator can't mint the credentials it uses
to talk to the host controller that owns its lifecycle. Lead with that concrete
win. No code behaviour change.

Hoist control-plane auth provisioning out of the per-backend launchers into
one shared contract, parameterized per trust domain (#476). Every blocking
finding in PR #471 was the same integration-bug class: each launcher
re-derived, by hand, how to generate the signing key, scope it to the
orchestrator, mint the gateway JWT, and keep the host key canonical.
Introduces `trust_domain.py`:
* `TrustDomain` — one credential boundary (host-canonical key file + role
set + env vars). `mint`/`verify` are scoped to the domain's roles, so a
future host-controller domain (#468) uses its own key/verifier/roles
rather than a `host` role on the control plane's frozenset (which the
orchestrator key could then forge).
* `ControlPlaneProvisioning` — the single seam answering the four
invariants: host-canonical key, split key-vs-token credential, CLI token
valid across co-running backends, and fail-closed (no open mode) for any
co-located topology.
* `Topology` — the backend declares what it is; the default is co-located +
fail-closed, so a backend need not redeclare it.
The `Orchestrator` ABC gets `control_plane_key()` (fail-closed) and routes
`mint_gateway_token()` through the contract; docker/macOS/firecracker
orchestrators, the server (verify), and the host CLI client (mint cli) all go
through the domain instead of reading the host key directly. `orchestrator_auth`
gains an optional `roles=` arg (default unchanged) so a domain scopes its own
role set; `paths.host_signing_key(filename)` generalizes host_orchestrator_token.
Adds unit coverage for the domain boundary + provisioning invariants and a PRD
capturing the durable rationale. No change to the auth primitive's HMAC, the
plane split, or the server's documented open-mode fallback.

Reevaluated against the actual nft ruleset: the firecracker split's isolation
is nearly free, not "the real work." Agent VMs are already dropped except the
DNAT'd gateway ports, so re-pointing that single DNAT rule at the gateway VM
(dnat to $(gw_guest)) isolates agents from a separate orchestrator VM with zero
new agent rules; the only added nft is a mirrored gateway link + one
gateway->orchestrator forward rule. The effort is the mechanical second-VM
lifecycle, and it's validatable on a Firecracker host.
Sharpened the Access bullet accordingly and added a note to Sequencing
decoupling the original consolidation's "real work" (the broker shim) from the
split, whose difficulty actually runs the other way (docker/macOS do the real
work — new control network, dual-homed gateway, the token-only->L3 upgrade;
firecracker is nearly free).

Review feedback: the hand-rolled `/dev/kvm` + docker-daemon capability
probes duplicated logic the CLI already owns. Delegate instead.
- tests/_backend.py skip guards now gate on `bot_bottle.backend.has_backend`
(each backend's `is_available()` classmethod — the same probe behind
`./cli.py backend status`), dropping the bespoke `Capability` probes.
- Remove tests/backend_preflight.py; the docker integration job runs
`./cli.py backend status --backend=docker` as its preflight (clear
per-check summary, non-zero exit when unready), matching the firecracker
job. The firecracker preflight reverts to its original binary/KVM checks
(backend status doesn't cover those).
- Unit test + docs updated to match.

Integration tests now select their backend from BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND and
skip on the capability that backend actually needs, instead of gating
every backend on unrelated Docker availability.
Task 1 — backend-agnostic guards (tests/_backend.py):
- Capability probes: docker_capability() (reachable daemon) and
firecracker_capability() (accessible /dev/kvm + firecracker on PATH,
Docker-independent). backend_capability()/selected_backend() resolve
the target from BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND (default docker).
- skip_unless_selected_backend_available() for backend-agnostic tests
(test_sandbox_escape) — runs through whichever backend is selected and
checks that backend's real capability.
- skip_unless_backend("docker") for Docker-implementation tests
(DockerBroker, DockerGateway, backend.docker.*) — they no-op under a
non-Docker run rather than testing internals that run doesn't target.
- Retires tests/_docker.py; the KVM job no longer needs SKIP_DOCKER_TESTS
to steer Docker-only classes.
Task 2 — explicit per-backend skip visibility:
- tests/backend_preflight.py prints a clear PASS/FAIL capability line and
exits non-zero when the selected backend is missing.
- Both integration jobs run it as a preflight, so absent infrastructure
is surfaced at the job level instead of hidden among unittest.skip
lines. The docker job replaces its soft "Show environment" step; the
firecracker job keeps its richer backend-status check.
Docs (tests/README.md, docs/ci.md) updated; unit coverage for the probes,
guards, and preflight in test_backend_skip_guards.py.

Remote terminal is an orchestrator operation, not a data-plane one: the
agent PTY is exec_agent-sourced (ssh -t / container exec --tty / docker
exec), which the orchestrator owns — the gateway never holds a PTY. A
--remote flag publishes a running agent's session; local + remote clients
share it via a session multiplexer (one PTY, many clients),
operator-role-gated, so the split's "one authenticated remote door" holds
for terminals too. Detailed design (multiplexer location, input
arbitration, per-client rendering, always-on vs --remote) tracked in #478.
