+# PRD prd-new: SQLite local storage
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** codex
+- **Created:** 2026-07-01
+- **Issue:** #319
+
+## Summary
+
+Add a small stdlib SQLite storage layer for bot-bottle host runtime state,
+starting with the supervise queue and audit log. This replaces scattered JSON
+queue files and JSONL audit logs with structured tables while preserving the
+existing public supervise helper functions and sidecar queue mount contract.
+
+## Problem
+
+Bot-bottle currently stores supervise proposals and responses as individual JSON
+files under `~/.bot-bottle/queue/<slug>/`, and audit entries as JSONL files
+under `~/.bot-bottle/audit/`. That worked for the original interactive TUI, but
+new forge-native orchestration needs durable, queryable local state for queues,
+audit trails, watchdogs, and lifecycle records. PR #318 started introducing
+SQLite-shaped boilerplate for forge state; the storage foundation should live in
+its own PR so forge work can build on the shared runtime store instead of adding
+one-off persistence.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+1. Supervise proposals and responses are persisted through SQLite.
+2. Audit entries are persisted through SQLite.
+3. Supervise queue helpers use the bottle slug / queue key instead of a queue
+   directory path.
+4. The sidecar receives the host database mount across docker, smolmachines,
+   and macOS-container backends.
+5. The implementation stays stdlib-only.
+6. Unit tests cover queue round-trips, pending discovery, response waits,
+   archive semantics, audit round-trips, and path creation.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Migrating old JSON queue files or JSONL audit logs.
+- Adding forge orchestration state tables.
+- Adding egress metering or budget tables.
+- Changing the supervise TUI workflow or remediation behavior.
+- Introducing a third-party ORM or migration framework.
+
+## Design
+
+### Database locations
+
+Queue and audit state use the host-level local database:
+
+```text
+~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db
+```
+
+The supervise sidecar receives that database as a writable bind mount at
+`/run/supervise/bot-bottle.db` and gets the path through `SUPERVISE_DB_PATH`.
+No per-slug queue directory is mounted into the sidecar. This creates the shared
+host database that later forge/native lifecycle work can extend in separate
+PRDs.
+
+### Tables
+
+`supervise_proposals` lives in the host database:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE supervise_proposals (
+    queue_key TEXT NOT NULL,
+    id TEXT NOT NULL,
+    bottle_slug TEXT NOT NULL,
+    tool TEXT NOT NULL,
+    proposed_file TEXT NOT NULL,
+    justification TEXT NOT NULL,
+    arrival_timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
+    current_file_hash TEXT NOT NULL,
+    archived INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    PRIMARY KEY (queue_key, id)
+);
+```
+
+`supervise_responses` lives in the host database:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE supervise_responses (
+    queue_key TEXT NOT NULL,
+    proposal_id TEXT NOT NULL,
+    status TEXT NOT NULL,
+    notes TEXT NOT NULL,
+    final_file TEXT,
+    archived INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
+    PRIMARY KEY (queue_key, proposal_id)
+);
+```
+
+`supervise_audit_entries` lives in the host database:
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE supervise_audit_entries (
+    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
+    timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
+    bottle_slug TEXT NOT NULL,
+    component TEXT NOT NULL,
+    operator_action TEXT NOT NULL,
+    operator_notes TEXT NOT NULL,
+    justification TEXT NOT NULL,
+    diff TEXT NOT NULL
+);
+```
+
+### Compatibility
+
+The queue helpers take a bottle slug / queue key and perform equivalent
+operations against `~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db`:
+
+- `list_pending_proposals` returns non-archived proposals without a non-archived
+  response, sorted by arrival time.
+- `archive_proposal` marks matching proposal/response rows archived instead of
+  moving files into `processed/`.
+- `wait_for_response` keeps the current polling behavior but polls SQLite.
+
+The old audit path helpers (`audit_dir`, `audit_log_path`) stay available for
+compatibility. `audit_log_path` no longer describes the active storage location;
+callers should use `read_audit_entries`.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. Add SQLite store helpers for supervise queue and audit state.
+2. Rewire `bot_bottle.supervise` queue/audit functions to the store.
+3. Update supervise CLI discovery tests and queue/audit unit tests.
+4. Run unit tests, pyright, and pylint for touched modules.
+
+## Open questions
+
+None.

Adds unit coverage in tests/unit/test_cli_start_headless.py and headless_prompt tests for each provider. Also stubs headless_prompt on the in-test AgentProvider subclasses so the unit suite collects cleanly. Closes #315.

They were validated only as strings, so a name with shell metacharacters or path traversal could reach the command. Layer two defenses: - Primary: reject any skill name that isn't kebab-case ([a-z][a-z0-9-]*) at manifest load, reusing the convention already enforced on bottle/agent filenames (new is_valid_entity_name helper in manifest_schema). Fails loud and early, protecting every consumer of the name — not just the exec call sites. - Failsafe: shlex.quote the interpolated skills_dir / dst paths in the claude, codex, and pi providers, so a future unvalidated field can't inject shell metacharacters even if it bypasses the load-time check.

Extract ManifestBottle into a new leaf module manifest_bottle.py that depends only on the other leaf modules (manifest_util/agent/egress/git/schema). manifest.py re-exports ManifestBottle, so `from .manifest import ManifestBottle` callers are unaffected. With the cycle gone: - manifest_extends and manifest_loader import ManifestBottle from manifest_bottle and their other deps from the real source modules, all at top level (TYPE_CHECKING block removed). - manifest.py imports the extends/loader/schema/yaml_subset/log helpers at module top; all per-function lazy imports in the cluster are removed. No behavior change; full unit suite green, pyright clean.

The inputs are attacker-controlled response-body matches past the body-size cap, so the quadratic form was a latent DoS. Extract _match_gap to share the span-gap calc with the caller. - dlp_detectors._compute_encoded_variants: back the memo with a bounded functools.lru_cache instead of an unbounded module dict, so a long-lived proxy seeing rotating secrets evicts rather than growing without limit. - supervise_server: extract the duplicated routes.yaml inputSchema into _proposal_input_schema()/_ROUTES_YAML_DESCRIPTION so the egress-allow and egress-block tools can't drift.

didericis	09755c3e24	chore: drop pyright/pylint badges and their badge-update automation The pyright "0 errors" and pylint "9.93/10" badges were static, hand-synced shields that duplicated state the `lint` CI job already enforces — a maintenance tax that could silently drift from reality. Remove both badges from the README and strip the corresponding steps (pylint/pyright runs, sed rewrites, commit-message lines, and the `.pylintrc`/`pyrightconfig.json` path triggers) from the badge-update workflow. Lint/type enforcement in CI is unchanged; only the published badges go away. Coverage and core-coverage badges stay.
