 Use `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=docker ./cli.py start <agent>` on hosts where neither Apple Container nor KVM is available and Docker is the desired backend.
 
-### Containers inside a bottle
-
-A bottle may set `nested_containers: true`. On the macOS backend this starts a
-guest-local, rootless **podman** service after the bottle is registered and
-exposes its Docker-compatible API socket, so the agent still runs `docker` and
-`docker compose`. Nothing is mounted from the host: Docker Desktop's socket
-stays out of the bottle and the guest gains no outer VM capabilities. Backends
-that cannot do this (`docker`, `firecracker`) reject the flag rather than
-silently ignore it.
-
-Rootless Docker was tried first and does not work here at all: Apple
-Container's capability bounding set omits `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, which the kernel
-requires to write a multi-range `uid_map`. See
-[`docs/research/rootless-docker-in-apple-container-spike.md`](docs/research/rootless-docker-in-apple-container-spike.md).
-
-The tradeoff to understand before enabling it: podman avoids that requirement
-by falling back to a single-UID mapping, so nested containers provide **no
-isolation from the agent itself** — `root` inside a nested container is the
-agent user outside it. Nested containers are a build/test convenience, not a
-security boundary. The bottle remains the boundary.
-
-Pulling images goes through the bottle's egress proxy like every other
-request, so each registry needs a route — **and so does the CDN it redirects
-layer blobs to**, which is a different host. Without the CDN route the pull
-authenticates, fetches the manifest, then 403s partway through.
-
-Docker Hub and GHCR additionally need `preserve_auth: true`: their token dance
-uses a client-fetched per-scope bearer token that the proxy would otherwise
-strip. Turn DLP off on every registry and CDN route — the bodies are
-compressed layer blobs that no detector can read, and buffering them is what
-triggers the shared-proxy OOM in #455.
-
-```yaml
-nested_containers: true

-  routes:

-    - host: cdn03.quay.io
-      dlp: { outbound_detectors: false, inbound_detectors: false }
-```
-
-`mcr.microsoft.com` and `registry.k8s.io` follow the same shape and also
-redirect blobs elsewhere (`*.data.mcr.microsoft.com` and
-`us-*-docker.pkg.dev` respectively); route whichever host the 403 names.
-
-Inside a nested container the same allowlist applies: an allowlisted host
-returns 200 and anything else gets a 403 straight from the proxy. The
-gateway's CA bundle and proxy settings are wired in automatically, so
-`docker run … curl https://…` works with no extra flags — no `--add-host`,
-`-e`, or `-v`.
-
-Two things worth knowing when testing that:
-
-- Public DNS inside a nested container fails **by design**. Everything
-  egresses through the proxy, so `nslookup` failing is expected and is not
-  evidence of a problem.
-- Alpine's BusyBox `wget` drops the connection after the proxy's TLS
-  interception and reports `error getting response`, even though the proxy
-  logs the decrypted request and returns a response. Use `curl` to test
-  egress; BusyBox `wget` will lie to you.

-
-Podman is used rather than rootless Docker for one specific reason: Apple

-# PRD prd-new: Containers inside a bottle
-
-- **Status:** Draft
-- **Author:** Claude
-- **Created:** 2026-07-21
-- **Issue:** #392
-
-## Summary
-
-Let an agent run `docker` and `docker compose` *inside* its bottle by starting
-a guest-local rootless podman service that exposes a Docker-compatible API
-socket. Gated per bottle by `nested_containers: true`. No host daemon socket is
-mounted and no capability is added to the guest, on any backend.
-
-## Problem
-
-Agent tasks routinely involve containers: `docker compose up` to verify a
-scaffolded stack, a throwaway database for a test run, building an image to
-check a Dockerfile works. Bottles have no way to do any of that, so those tasks
-either fail or get done outside the bottle — which defeats the point of the
-bottle.
-
-## Goals / success criteria
-
-- A bottle with `nested_containers: true` on the `macos-container` backend can
-  run `docker compose up -d --wait` against a stock compose file, pulling from
-  a routed registry and serving from the workspace.
-- The agent's habits do not change: `docker` and `docker compose`, not
-  `podman`.
-- No host Docker socket is mounted, on any backend.
-- No capability is added to the Apple Container guest.
-- Backends without a guest-local engine reject the flag with a clear error
-  rather than ignoring it.
-- Bottles that do not set the flag carry none of its cost.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Nested containers as an isolation layer. The single-UID mapping means `root`
-  inside a nested container is the agent user outside it. This is for build and
-  test workloads; the bottle stays the security boundary.
-- The `docker` and `firecracker` backends. Both reject the flag for now.
-- Reaching registries that are not routed through the bottle's egress proxy.
-
-## Design
-
-### Why podman, not rootless Docker
-
-Apple Container's capability bounding set omits `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, which the
-kernel requires in order to write a multi-range `uid_map` via `newuidmap`.
-Rootless Docker has no path that avoids that write, so it cannot run in a
-bottle without granting `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` — which is close to root in practical
-terms and gives up most of what the bottle is for.
-
-Podman does have a path: with **no** subordinate UID range configured it falls
-back to a single-UID self-mapping, which an unprivileged process may write
-itself. The image build therefore *removes* the agent user's `/etc/subuid` and
-`/etc/subgid` entries rather than adding them — their presence is exactly what
-would send podman down the `newuidmap` path. Full negative result in
-[`docs/research/rootless-docker-in-apple-container-spike.md`](../research/rootless-docker-in-apple-container-spike.md).
-
-### The flag, and its name
-
-The flag is kept because it gates real costs, not because podman needs a
-privilege grant: ~100MB of derived image, a resident service per bottle, and
-relaxed modes on `/dev/fuse` and `/dev/net/tun` that the majority of bottles
-should not get.
-
-It is named `nested_containers`, not `docker_access`. It implies no Docker and
-grants access to nothing on the host — naming it after Docker access would
-describe the one thing the design refuses to do.
-
-### Shape
-
-- `bot_bottle/backend/macos_container/nested_containers.py` — derived-image
-  build, guest env, device preparation, service start/readiness.
-- `bot_bottle/backend/macos_container/nested-containers-init.sh` — the
-  unprivileged bootstrap that runs inside the bottle. Fails closed on every
-  prerequisite it needs (podman, the storage/network helpers, writable device
-  nodes, an *empty* subordinate range) rather than degrading.
-- The derived image `…-nested-containers` layers the Docker CLI, the compose
-  plugin, and podman 5's networking stack — `passt` (pasta), `netavark`,
-  `nftables`, `aardvark-dns` — plus `fuse-overlayfs`, `slirp4netns`, and
-  `uidmap` onto the agent image. Podman itself already ships in every built-in
-  image (#451), but with `--no-install-recommends`, so none of the networking
-  pieces arrive with it. Each absence fails at a different and misleading
-  layer: no pasta and nothing starts; no `nft` and containers are created but
-  never start; no aardvark-dns and DNS inside a container fails while
-  everything else looks healthy. Image pulls keep working throughout, which is
-  what makes these read as compat-API bugs.
-- `BottleBackend.supports_nested_containers` — false by default, so a backend
-  that cannot honor the flag fails in the shared `prepare` template.
-
-Guest configuration the single-UID mapping forces:
-`ignore_chown_errors` (no second UID for layers to be chowned to),
-`cgroups="disabled"` and `cgroup_manager="cgroupfs"` (no cgroup delegation
-reaches the guest), `events_logger="file"` (no journald socket).
-
-### Registry reach
-
-Image pulls egress through the bottle's proxy like everything else, so each
-registry needs a route — **and so does the CDN it redirects blobs to**, which
-is a separate host: `production.cloudfront.docker.com` for Docker Hub,
-`pkg-containers.githubusercontent.com` for GHCR, `cdn0*.quay.io` for quay.
-Without those the pull authenticates, fetches the manifest, and then 403s
-partway through. Docker Hub and GHCR need `preserve_auth: true` — their
-token dance uses a client-fetched per-scope bearer token that the proxy would
-otherwise strip. Layer pulls should also set `dlp.outbound_detectors: false`
-and `dlp.inbound_detectors: false`: body scanning on a multi-hundred-MB layer
-is what triggers #455, and a registry route's scanned bodies are compressed
-layer blobs rather than anything a detector can read.
-
-### Reaching the network from a nested container
-
-Public DNS inside a nested container fails by design: everything egresses
-through the proxy. What was actually broken was reaching the proxy at all, and
-it took four attempts to fix because podman applies proxy settings at several
-layers and the last writer wins:
-
-| Layer | Applies to |
-|---|---|
-| `~/.docker/config.json` proxies block | **every container the Docker CLI starts** — client-side, beats everything below |
-| service environment | podman's own pulls, non-CLI API clients |
-| `containers.conf` `env` | native `podman run` |
-| `containers.conf` `hosts_file`, `http_proxy` | native `podman run` only — the compat API ignores both |
-
-The gateway is named `bot-bottle-gateway`, which resolves only through the
-bottle's `/etc/hosts`; a nested container gets its own. Since no config key
-reaches the compat path, the name is resolved in the bottle and the *address*
-is substituted into the proxy URL at each layer above. `NO_PROXY` keeps the
-name, which is matched against what a client asks for.
-
-The gateway TLS-intercepts, so the CA bundle is mounted read-only and
-`SSL_CERT_FILE`, `CURL_CA_BUNDLE`, `REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE`, and
-`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` point at it — no distro-specific trust commands.
-
-## Verified on macOS 26 / Apple Container 1.0.0 / podman 5.4.2
-
-With plain `docker`, no extra flags: image pulls from Docker Hub, GHCR, and
-quay; `docker run` with correct exit-code propagation; `docker compose` up,
-logs, down, and a published port curl'd from the bottle; `curl https://quay.io`
-and `https://pypi.org/simple/` returning 200 from inside a nested container;
-and `https://example.com` returning **403** — the egress allowlist applies to
-nested containers, not just the bottle.
-
-Alpine's BusyBox `wget` drops the connection after TLS interception and
-reports "error getting response". The proxy logs the decrypted request, and
-`curl` on the same host succeeds, so this is a BusyBox client limitation
-rather than anything in the egress path.
-
-## Open questions
-
-- Whether the `docker` and `firecracker` backends want an equivalent, or
-  whether guest-local containers stay macOS-only.

-# Egress proxy OOMs on large downloads
-
-Found on 2026-07-21 while running the rootless-podman spike
-(`docs/research/rootless-docker-in-apple-container-spike.md`). Recorded
-rather than fixed — the fix is a security-relevant decision, not a
-mechanical patch.
-
-## Summary
-
-A single large HTTPS download through the gateway kills the egress
-proxy. `mitmdump` buffers whole response bodies so the DLP detectors can
-scan them, grows past the gateway container's memory limit, and is
-OOM-killed by the cgroup. Nothing restarts it.
-
-Two properties make this worse than a failed download:
-
-- **The gateway is a per-host singleton.** Every bottle shares it, so
-  one bottle's download takes egress away from all of them.
-- **There is no restart on death.** The gateway supervisor is
-  `while : ; do wait ; done`; a killed daemon stays dead until the infra
-  container is recreated.
-
-So ordinary agent activity — pulling a container image, downloading a
-model or dataset, fetching a large tarball — is a denial of service
-against every other bottle on the host. No malice required, though it is
-trivially reachable on purpose.
-
-## Evidence
-
-Triggered by `docker compose up` pulling `quay.io/fedora/python-312`
-(two layers, ~82MB and ~83MB) inside a bottle. The pull itself
-succeeded; the *next* request failed:
-
-```
-initializing source docker://quay.io/fedora/python-312:latest:
-  pinging container registry quay.io: Get "https://quay.io/v2/":
-  proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp 192.168.128.39:9099: connect: connection refused
-```
-
-From the gateway's `dmesg`:
-
-```
-python3 invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x100cca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE), order=0
-oom-kill:constraint=CONSTRAINT_MEMCG,
-  oom_memcg=/container/bot-bottle-mac-infra,
-  task_memcg=/container/bot-bottle-mac-infra,task=mitmdump,pid=118
-Memory cgroup out of memory: Killed process 118 (mitmdump)
-  total-vm:1391936kB, anon-rss:997768kB
-```
-
-~1GB RSS against a 1024MB container. Note the amplification: ~165MB of
-layers produced ~1GB of resident memory, so the buffering is several
-copies deep (encoded body, decoded body, and the text conversion the
-regex detectors scan).
-
-Afterwards the gateway container was still running and healthy-looking —
-orchestrator, supervise, and git-http all alive — with no `mitmdump`
-process at all, and it stayed that way until the container was
-recreated. A liveness check on the container would not have caught this.
-
-## Reproduction
-
-1. Launch any bottle with an egress route to a host serving a large file.
-2. Download >~150MB over HTTPS through the proxy.
-3. `dmesg | grep -i oom` inside `bot-bottle-mac-infra`, and note that no
-   `mitmdump` process remains.
-
-Beware a false negative when checking: truncating the process listing
-(`cut -c1-45`) cuts before the binary name, because `mitmdump` runs as
-`/usr/local/bin/python3.12 /usr/local/bin/mitmdump …`.
-
-## Fix options, not yet chosen
-
-1. **Restart dead daemons.** Smallest change and strictly an
-   improvement: an OOM then degrades one download instead of removing
-   egress for every bottle. Does not stop the OOM.
-2. **Cap the scanned body size.** Above a threshold, stop buffering —
-   either skip the scan or stream it. This is the root-cause fix and a
-   security decision: a size threshold is exactly the hole an exfiltrator
-   would aim for, so "skip above N" trades a DoS for a covert channel.
-   Streaming with a bounded window keeps coverage, at more complexity.
-3. **Raise the gateway's memory limit.** Moves the threshold; does not
-   remove it.
-
-Worth noting that (1) and (2) are complementary — the restart gap is
-worth closing regardless of how the memory behaviour is resolved.

-way in; it granted no access to anything on the host.
-
-## Summary
-
-**Negative result.** Rootless Docker cannot run inside an Apple
-Container bottle without granting the bottle `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. This is a
-kernel constraint on writing multi-range `uid_map`, not a packaging gap
-we can close with a better init script, a different base image, or more
-careful `/etc/subuid` handling.
-
-The spike was built on the premise — stated in
-`bot_bottle/backend/macos_container/rootless_docker.py` — that it would
-*"deliberately refuse to compensate for missing prerequisites with outer
-capabilities, a privileged container, or a host Docker socket."* That
-premise is exactly what the experiment falsified. The two ways forward
-are to abandon the premise (add `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` to the bottle, and with
-it most of the isolation the bottle exists to provide) or to abandon
-rootless Docker.
-
-Recommendation: abandon rootless Docker. Podman does not have this
-problem — see [Podman is not blocked by
-this](#podman-is-not-blocked-by-this) below.

-
-`tests/integration/test_macos_rootless_docker_spike.py` builds the
-image, launches the bottle, and dies in `rootless_docker.start`:
-
-```
-+ exec rootlesskit --net=slirp4netns --mtu=65520 ... dockerd-rootless.sh

-  newuidmap 1100 [0 1000 1 1 100000 65536] failed:
-  newuidmap: write to uid_map failed: Operation not permitted
-```
-
-## Why it fails
-
-Every prerequisite you would normally suspect is present and correct in
-the guest:
-
-| Check | Result |
-| --- | --- |
-| `/usr/bin/newuidmap` | `-rwsr-xr-x root root` — setuid bit intact, survived the OCI export |
-| `/` mount options | `rw,relatime` — **not** `nosuid` |
-| `NoNewPrivs` | `0` |
-| `Seccomp` | `0`, no filters |
-| `/etc/subuid`, `/etc/subgid` | `node:100000:65536` in both |
-| user namespace | `user:[4026531837]`, identical to pid 1 — the *initial* userns |
-| `unshare -U -r true` | succeeds |
-| `/proc/sys/user/max_user_namespaces` | `4505` |
-
-The one thing that is missing is in the capability bounding set that
-Apple Container gives the container:
-
-```
-CapBnd: 00000000a80425fb
-= chown, dac_override, fowner, fsetid, kill, setgid, setuid, setpcap,
-  net_bind_service, net_raw, sys_chroot, mknod, audit_write, setfcap
-```
-
-No `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. That is the whole story, and the chain is:
-
-1. The kernel's `map_write()` gates writing a `uid_map` on
-   `file_ns_capable(file, ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN)` — capability over the
-   **new** user namespace, evaluated against the credentials that opened
-   `/proc/<pid>/uid_map`.
-2. `newuidmap` is setuid-root, so it runs with euid 0 — but its
-   capability sets are clamped by the bounding set, which has no
-   `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`.
-3. `cap_capable()` has a shortcut that grants *all* capabilities when
-   the caller's userns is the new namespace's parent **and**
-   `ns->owner == cred->euid`. It does not apply: the namespace was
-   created by `node` (uid 1000) while `newuidmap` runs as euid 0.
-4. So the check falls through to the effective-set test in the initial
-   userns, which fails. `EPERM`.
-
-Note that the single-line unprivileged path (`unshare -U -r`) works
-precisely because it does not go through `newuidmap` and does not need
-`CAP_SYS_ADMIN`. Only the multi-range subuid mapping that rootless
-Docker requires does.
-
-This is the same constraint that makes upstream's `dind-rootless` image
-require `--privileged`. It is not specific to Apple Container, except
-that Apple Container gives us no bounding set that includes
-`CAP_SYS_ADMIN` by default.
-
-## It does work with the capability — which is the point
-
-Adding the capability clears the failure immediately, and exposes one
-further, much smaller blocker: `/dev/net/tun` exists (the kernel has
-tun; `/proc/misc` lists `200 tun`) but Apple Container creates it
-`crw------- root root`, so uid 1000 cannot open it and `slirp4netns`
-fails with `open: Permission denied`. A `chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun` as
-root inside the bottle fixes that, and needs no capability beyond what
-the bottle already has.
-
-With both applied by hand, the daemon comes up completely:
-
-```console
-$ container run --rm -u root --cap-add CAP_SYS_ADMIN \
-    bot-bottle-claude:latest-rootless-docker sh -c '...'
-Server Version: 20.10.24+dfsg1
-Storage Driver: fuse-overlayfs
-Cgroup Driver: none
-Cgroup Version: 2
-API listen on /tmp/rt/docker.sock
-```
-
-So `rootless-docker-init.sh` and `rootless_docker.py` are *correct*.
-The spike did not fail on a bug. It failed on its own premise.
-
-Two secondary findings from that run, relevant if anyone revisits this:
-
-- Debian's `docker.io` package pins Docker **20.10** (EOL), not the 28.x
-  implied by the `docker:28-cli` compose plugin the image copies in.
-- `Cgroup Driver: none` — no resource limits on nested containers.
-
-## Why we should not just add the capability
-
-`CAP_SYS_ADMIN` is close to a superset of "root" in practical terms —
-mount, `pivot_root`, namespace manipulation, and a long tail of
-subsystem-specific powers. Granting it to the agent bottle would
-undercut the containment argument the rest of the backend is built
-around, including the deliberately narrow choices immediately adjacent
-to it in `launch.py` (`--cap-drop CAP_NET_RAW`, no `NET_ADMIN`, a
-host-only agent network). Trading all of that for nested `docker
-compose` is a bad exchange.
-
-## Podman is not blocked by this
-
-Sanity-checked on the same host, same kernel, same runtime, so the
-comparison is apples to apples:
-
-| Scenario | Result |
-| --- | --- |
-| Podman rootless, `/etc/subuid` populated | **Fails identically** — `newuidmap: write to uid_map failed: Operation not permitted` |
-| Podman rootless, no subuid ranges, `--network=host` | **Works**, no added capabilities |
-| Podman rootless, no subuid ranges, default netns, `/dev/net/tun` at `0600` | Fails — `slirp4netns: open("/dev/net/tun"): Permission denied` |
-| Podman rootless, no subuid ranges, default netns, `/dev/net/tun` at `0666` | **Works**, no added capabilities |
-
-The difference is that podman degrades gracefully when no subuid range
-is available: it falls back to a single-UID self-mapping, which an
-unprivileged process may write itself, so `newuidmap` is never invoked
-and `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` is never needed. Docker's rootless mode has no
-equivalent fallback.
-
-The cost of that fallback is real and should be weighed before building
-on it: with a single-UID mapping, every UID inside a nested container
-collapses onto the bottle's own uid 1000. There is no UID separation
-between the agent and anything it runs — `root` in a nested container is
-the agent user outside it. It also requires `ignore_chown_errors` on the
-storage driver. Whether that is acceptable depends on whether the bottle
-boundary (which is unchanged) or the nested-container boundary (which is
-effectively nil) is the one we are relying on.
-
-## What the podman spike then needed
-
-The podman implementation that replaced the Docker one on this branch
-turned up two more device-node blockers of the same shape as
-`/dev/net/tun` — Apple Container creates the node, but 0600 root:root:
-
-- **`/dev/fuse`** — blocks the `fuse-overlayfs` storage driver
-  (`fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied`). Without it the
-  only working driver is `vfs`, which copies whole layers per container.
-- **`/dev/net/tun`** — blocks `slirp4netns`, which rootless podman uses
-  for the default bridge network.
-
-Both are fixed by `chmod 0666` as root inside the bottle, which needs no
-capability the bottle does not already hold. This is categorically
-different from the `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` requirement: it is a permission on a
-node that already exists, not an outer privilege grant.
-
-One design note worth recording: the agent-facing surface stays `docker`
-and `docker compose`, pointed at podman's Docker-compatible API socket
-via `DOCKER_HOST`. Setting `netns="host"` in `containers.conf` does *not*
-propagate through that compat API — stock `docker run` and compose files
-request bridge networking explicitly — so slirp4netns (and therefore the
-`/dev/net/tun` chmod) is required for ordinary compose files to work at
-all. Host networking remains available per-workload via
-`--network=host`.
-
-Verified working in a bottle with zero added capabilities: fuse-overlayfs
-storage, the compat API socket, `docker run` on both bridge and host
-networking, and published ports.
-
-### Nested pulls collide with our own egress DLP
-
-The first live run got podman up and `docker compose` running, then
-failed on the image pull:
-
-```
-web Pulling
-initializing source docker://python:3.12-alpine: reading manifest ...
-StatusCode: 403, egress DLP: Generic Bearer JWT found in body
-```
-
-This is bot-bottle's own egress scanner, not a podman problem. The
-Docker registry auth flow carries a bearer JWT *by protocol*, and the
-`token_patterns` detector's `Generic Bearer JWT` rule
-(`Bearer\s+[A-Za-z0-9._\-]{50,}`) matches it on every pull. Any bottle
-that pulls images will hit this.
-
-The fix is per-route detector scoping, which the egress config already
-supports — drop `token_patterns` on the registry hosts and keep
-`known_secrets`:
-
-```json
-{"host": "registry-1.docker.io",
- "dlp": {"outbound_detectors": ["known_secrets"]}}
-```
-
-That is the right trade rather than a grudging one: `known_secrets`
-matches the bottle's *actual* credential values, so real exfil through a
-registry host is still caught. `token_patterns` on a registry route only
-ever produces protocol noise.
-
-Worth generalising later: any manifest enabling `nested_containers` needs
-this on its registry routes, so it probably belongs in a shared
-registry-route snippet rather than being copy-pasted per bottle.
-
-### And then registry auth collides with the Authorization strip
-
-With DLP scoped, the pull failed differently: `unauthorized:
-authentication required`. This one is architectural.
-
-`egress_addon.py` strips agent-set `Authorization` unconditionally
-before forwarding — deliberately, so an agent cannot smuggle a
-credential out in a header the DLP detectors don't recognise. A route
-may carry gateway-injected auth instead, but only from a *static* token
-in an env var (`auth_scheme` + `token_env`).
-
-Docker registry auth doesn't fit that shape. The client fetches a
-short-lived, per-repository-scope bearer token from `auth.docker.io` and
-presents it to `registry-1.docker.io`. There is no static token to
-inject, and the token the client legitimately obtained is stripped.
-
-Measured inside a bottle, by hand:
-
-| Step | Result |
-| --- | --- |
-| Fetch token from `auth.docker.io` | 200, 5409-byte token body |
-| Manifest request **with** that valid token | 401 |
-| Manifest request with **no** Authorization | 401 — identical |
-
-A valid token behaves exactly like sending none, which is direct
-evidence the header never arrives. Any nested-container workflow that
-pulls from a registry is blocked on this, so it is not a detail that can
-be deferred: pulling base images is most of what nested containers are
-for.
-
-### Registries that skip the token dance work today
-
-Not every registry needs the stripped header. Measured directly:
-
-| Registry | Manifest request with no `Authorization` |
-| --- | --- |
-| `quay.io` | 200 |
-| `mcr.microsoft.com` | 200 |
-| `registry.k8s.io` | 307 (redirect, no auth) |
-| `ghcr.io` | 401 |
-| `registry-1.docker.io` | 401 |
-
-So "just add the registry to the bottle config" genuinely works — for
-quay, MCR, registry.k8s.io, or any unauthenticated internal registry.
-Docker Hub and GHCR are the ones that need the strip resolved. The
-acceptance test uses quay for exactly this reason.
-
-Resolving it for Docker Hub means picking one of:
-
-1. **Per-route opt-in to preserve client Authorization.** Smallest
-   change. Note the compounding effect on exactly these routes: the DLP
-   scoping above already removed `token_patterns` there, so a
-   preserved-auth registry route is one where the agent may send bearer
-   tokens that neither the strip nor the pattern detector inspects.
-   `known_secrets` still applies, so the bottle's real credentials are
-   still caught.
-2. **A registry-aware gateway** that performs the token dance itself and
-   injects the result. Preserves the invariant fully; materially more
-   work, and it makes the gateway speak a specific registry protocol.
-3. **Pre-seed images at provision time** (host-side `container image
-   save` into podman storage), so bottles never pull at runtime.
-   Preserves the invariant, and limits nested containers to
-   pre-approved images — which fits the custody positioning, at the cost
-   of no ad-hoc `docker pull`.
-4. **Stop.** Nested containers are not supported on this backend.
-
-### Podman 4.3.1 silently swallows container exit codes
-
-Debian bookworm — which the current agent base image is built on —
-ships podman 4.3.1. Through its Docker-compatible API, `docker run`
-returns 0 no matter what the container did:
-
-| Command | podman 4.3.1 | podman 5.4.2 |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `docker run … sh -c 'exit 7'` (compat API) | **0** | 7 |
-| `docker run … sh -c 'exit 0'` (compat API) | 0 | 0 |
-| `podman run … sh -c 'exit 7'` (native) | 7 | 7 |
-
-This is worse than a broken feature: every failing command an agent runs
-via `docker run` reports success. A test suite, a build step, or a CI
-script inside a bottle would pass while failing. It also silently
-defeated the acceptance test's egress-containment assertion, which is
-why that assertion now checks an in-band marker rather than an exit
-code.
-
-Podman 5.4.2 (Debian trixie) fixes it, but needs two packages that
-bookworm's podman does not: `passt` (podman 5's default network tool)
-and `nftables` (netavark shells out to `nft`; without it every run fails
-with `unable to upgrade to tcp, received 500`). With both installed,
-exit codes propagate correctly and the compat API behaves.
-
-The open question this leaves is where podman 5 comes from, since the
-agent base is bookworm-based:
-
-1. **Move the agent images to Debian trixie.** Trixie is current stable.
-   Correct, and the blast radius is every bottle, not just this feature.
-2. **Drop the compat socket and use podman natively** (`podman-docker`
-   provides a `docker` shim; compose comes from `podman-compose`).
-   Native podman propagates exit codes correctly even on 4.3.1. Contained
-   to this feature, at the cost of `docker compose` becoming
-   `docker-compose`/`podman-compose`.
-3. **Ship bookworm's podman 4.3.1 with the compat socket** — not viable.
-   Silent false success is a correctness bug agents cannot see.
-
-## Recommendation
-
-1. Do not revive rootless Docker on this backend. This document is the
-   record of why.
-2. Nested containers, if wanted, come from podman under the
-   single-mapping constraint — with the explicit understanding that the
-   nested-container boundary carries no security weight. `root` in a
-   nested container is the agent user outside it.
-3. Nested containers are therefore a build/test convenience. The bottle
-   remains the security boundary, exactly as it was.
