fix(security): authenticate the orchestrator control plane (issue #400 Critical)

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.

 ## Architecture
 
-On the default macOS Apple Container backend, a bottle is an agent container on a host-only internal network plus a sidecar bundle attached to both that internal network and a NAT egress network. The agent gets HTTP(S)_PROXY and CA bundle env vars pointing at the sidecar's internal-network IP, so HTTP/HTTPS traffic flows through the sidecar instead of direct egress. `bottle.git` / git-gate is intentionally deferred on this backend until a safe Apple Container key-delivery path exists.

-On the smolmachines backend, a bottle is an agent micro-VM plus a Docker sidecar bundle for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the sidecars through a per-bottle loopback alias allowed by TSI; smolmachines handles DNS filtering below the guest OS.
+On the Firecracker backend, a bottle is an agent microVM plus a Docker gateway for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the gateway over a per-bottle point-to-point TAP link; a dedicated fail-closed `nftables` table (`inet bot_bottle_fc`) confines the guest to that link, so nothing leaves the box except through the gateway. The TAP pool and nft table are provisioned once (root); per-launch needs no privilege.
 
-On the legacy Docker backend, the same logical bottle is two containers per agent: an `agent` container and a `sidecars` container. They share a per-agent Docker `--internal` network; the agent has no default route off-box.

 - **`/dev/kvm`** present and accessible. Load `kvm-intel` or `kvm-amd` (and enable virtualization in BIOS/firmware). The invoking user must be in the `kvm` group: `sudo usermod -aG kvm "$USER"` then re-login. bot-bottle preflights this and reports exactly what's missing.
-- **`smolvm`** on `PATH`: `curl -sSL https://smolmachines.com/install.sh | sh`.
-- **Docker** for the sidecar bundle and image build, same as macOS.
-
-Per-bottle isolation works the same as macOS without any `ifconfig`/sudo step — all of `127.0.0.0/8` is already loopback on Linux, so each bottle's sidecar bundle is published on its own `127.0.0.<N>` and TSI's allowlist is scoped to that `/32`.
+- **`firecracker`** on `PATH`: grab a release from <https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/releases>. Start flows print this pointer when the binary is missing.
+- **Docker** for the gateway and image build.
+- **A one-time privileged network setup** — the per-bottle TAP pool plus the fail-closed `nftables` isolation table. Run `./cli.py backend setup --backend=firecracker` for the host-appropriate config (a NixOS module, a `sudo` script elsewhere); `./cli.py backend status --backend=firecracker` reports what's present, including whether the pool range collides with an existing route. The pool defaults to `10.243.0.0/16` (an obscure RFC-1918 block that dodges docker/libvirt/LAN and, deliberately, Tailscale's `100.64.0.0/10` CGNAT range); override with `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_IP_BASE` if it clashes on your host.
 
 ```sh
-BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./cli.py start <agent>
+BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=firecracker ./cli.py start <agent>
 ```
 
-> **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. If you run bottles from a Gitea Actions runner, use a `host`-label runner so Docker, `smolvm`, and `/dev/kvm` are all reachable from the job. `smolvm` isn't in nixpkgs — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on the runner's `PATH`.
+> **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. For the network pool, consume the flake module — `imports = [ inputs.bot-bottle.nixosModules.firecracker-netpool ]; services.bot-bottle-firecracker = { enable = true; owner = "you"; };` — then `nixos-rebuild switch` (imperative nft/TAP rules don't survive a rebuild; channel users can `imports = [ <bot-bottle>/nix/firecracker-netpool.nix ]`). `firecracker` isn't in nixpkgs by default as a user binary — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on `PATH`.

+Agent Dockerfiles build **inside the persistent per-host infra VM**
+(`infra_vm.py`), which carries buildah (rootless, daemonless): no host Docker
+daemon, no root-equivalent `docker` group. The build runs over SSH against the
+infra VM and its rootfs streams back to the host, where the existing
+`mke2fs -d` path (`util.build_rootfs_ext4`) turns it into a bootable ext4.
+
+Building in the infra VM — rather than a throwaway builder VM — means there is
+one buildah image (`bot-bottle-infra`) and no contention for the orchestrator
+TAP. Tradeoff: an untrusted Dockerfile's `RUN` steps share the VM with the
+control plane + gateway (buildah `--isolation chroot` isn't a hard boundary) —
+the accepted single-VM blast-radius tradeoff, re-splittable into a disposable
+builder (booted from this same image on its own TAP) later.

+A single persistent microVM that runs the orchestrator **control plane** (and,

+the docker backend runs as containers. It boots on the NAT'd orchestrator link
+(`netpool.orch_slot()`): the host CLI reaches its control plane over HTTP at the

+Build-from-source (the default while the design churns): the rootfs is exported
+from the locally built orchestrator image, which bakes the stdlib-only
+control-plane source. A pull-from-registry mode (Gitea's OCI registry) becomes
+the default later.

+SSH is left enabled for debugging; the control plane is the load-bearing

+"""Empirical, post-boot isolation probe — the authoritative fail-closed

+
+The pre-boot nft check can't be trusted on every host (listing an
+nftables table typically needs root; the launcher runs unprivileged).
+So before the agent ever runs, we prove the boundary directly: open a
+canary TCP listener on a host IP the VM must NOT be able to reach (the
+host's primary non-TAP address), then have the guest try to connect. If
+the isolation rules are in force the connection is dropped and times
+out; if it succeeds, the VM can reach host services it shouldn't — a
+sandbox escape — and we refuse to continue.
+
+The listener is load-bearing: without it a "blocked" result could just
+be connection-refused. With it, a reachable canary means a real leak
+and a timeout means a real drop.

+"""Firecracker network pool: constants, IP math, allocation, and the
+config renderers (shell command + NixOS module) shown to operators.
+
+The Firecracker backend needs a privileged one-time network setup:
+a pool of point-to-point TAP devices (owned by the invoking user, so
+`./cli.py start` never needs root) and a dedicated nftables table that
+isolates every VM. The pool parameters live in exactly one place —
+`netpool.defaults.env`, a plain KEY=VALUE file next to this module —
+and every consumer reads *that*: this module (below), the shell script
+(`scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`), and the NixOS module
+(`nix/firecracker-netpool.nix`). A `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_*` env var of the
+same name always overrides the file, and the backend's fail-closed
+preflight derives from these accessors, so nothing can drift.
+
+Topology (per slot i):
+  * TAP  ``bbfc{i}``  — no shared bridge, so no docker0 / virbr0 / cni0
+    / br-* collisions.
+  * a /31 host<->guest link: host = base + 2i (the gateway the VM
+    routes through), guest = base + 2i + 1 (the VM's address).
+  * isolation via ``table inet bot_bottle_fc``: a VM reaches only its
+    own gateway (DNAT'd from the host TAP IP) and nothing else.
+
+The default IP block is ``10.243.0.0/16`` — an intentionally obscure
+corner of RFC-1918 private space. RFC-1918 is the range *designated*
+for private links; we pick a high, unusual /16 to steer clear of the
+common occupants (Docker's 172.17-31, libvirt's 192.168.122, k8s
+10.42/10.244, and typical home LANs on 192.168.0/1.x or 10.0.0.x).
+We deliberately avoid ``100.64.0.0/10`` (RFC-6598 CGNAT) because
+Tailscale hands out node addresses from exactly that range. No default
+is collision-proof, so `overlapping_routes()` is the real guard —
+`backend setup`/`status` and the launch preflight call it to catch
+a base that clashes with something already on the host.

+"""Consolidated bottle launch sequence for the macOS backend (PRD 0070).
+
+The docker backend allocates a free address, pins the agent to it with
+`--ip`, registers it, *then* starts the agent — registration precedes launch
+because the pinned address is known up front.
+
+**Apple Container 1.0.0 has no `--ip`.** The `--network` flag takes only
+`<name>[,mac=…][,mtu=…]`; the address is assigned by vmnet's DHCP and is
+knowable only once the container is running. So the macOS order inverts:
+
+    ensure_gateway()  ->  caller starts the agent  ->  register_agent(source_ip)
+
+That is why this module exposes two functions where docker has one — the
+caller has to start the agent in between. `ensure_gateway` runs first because
+the agent's proxy env needs the gateway's address at `container run` time; the
+agent's *own* address (the attribution key) only exists afterwards.
+
+The control plane and the gateway are one **infra container** here (see
+`infra`), so `gateway_ip` and the control-plane host are the same address.
+
+The consequence for the identity token: it is minted by registration, i.e.
+*after* the agent container exists, so it cannot be baked into the run-time
+env the way docker's compose spec does. It is delivered at `container exec`
+time instead — see `bottle.MacosContainerBottle`.
+
+That delivery is load-bearing, not a nicety: `/resolve` requires a matching
+`(source_ip, identity_token)` pair and fail-closes with no source-IP-only
+fallback (#366). So egress that does not carry the token is denied — which is
+the safe direction, and is why the agent's init process is a bare `sleep` and
+every real command arrives through `container exec`.

+"""The per-host infra container for the macOS backend (PRD 0070).
+
+A single persistent Apple container that runs BOTH the orchestrator control
+plane and the gateway data plane — the macOS analogue of the Firecracker infra
+VM (`backend/firecracker/infra_vm.py`), not the docker backend's two separate
+containers.
+
+Why one container, not two: Apple Containers are lightweight VMs, each with its
+own kernel. The docker backend runs the orchestrator and gateway as two
+containers safely because they share the host kernel, so their concurrent
+writes to the one `bot-bottle.db` (the orchestrator's registry + the gateway
+supervise daemon's queue) are serialized by coherent `fcntl` locks. Across two
+*guest* kernels sharing a virtiofs-mounted DB those locks are not coherent, and
+concurrent writers can corrupt the file. Firecracker solved this by putting
+both services in one guest with the DB on a device only that guest mounts; this
+does the same with Apple primitives.
+
+Two consequences fall out of the single container, both simplifications:
+
+- **No DNS dance.** The control plane and the gateway daemons reach each other
+  over `127.0.0.1`, so nothing depends on Apple's (absent) container DNS and
+  there is no orchestrator-before-gateway ordering to get right.
+- **The DB is never host-shared.** It lives on a container-only volume, so no
+  host process opens the live file. The host CLI reaches registry + supervise
+  state through the control-plane HTTP surface (`cli/supervise.py` already uses
+  `OrchestratorClient`), exactly as it does for firecracker.
+
+The control-plane source is bind-mounted (like the docker orchestrator), so a
+code change takes effect on the next launch without an image rebuild; the
+gateway daemons are baked in the gateway image and rebuild through its own
+digest check.

-"""Launch flow for the macOS Apple Container backend.
+"""Launch flow for the macOS Apple Container backend (PRD 0070).
 
-This backend keeps the explicit proxy-env enforcement model for v1:
-the agent container is attached only to a host-only Apple Container
-network, while the sidecar bundle is attached to a NAT network first
-and the host-only network second. The sidecar's host-only IP is
-discovered from `container inspect` and stamped into the agent's
-HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY env vars.
+The agent container attaches to the **shared host-only gateway network** and
+proxies egress through the one per-host gateway, replacing the per-bottle
+companion container removed in #385.
+
+The order differs from docker's, forced by Apple Container 1.0.0 having no
+`--ip` (see `consolidated_launch`): the agent is started *before* it is
+registered, because its DHCP-assigned address — the attribution key — does not
+exist until then.
+
+    gateway up -> run agent -> read its IP -> register it -> provision
+
+Two things follow from that inversion:
+
+- The **identity token** is minted by registration and so cannot be in the
+  agent's run-time env; it rides the proxy URL applied at `container exec`
+  time (`bottle.MacosContainerBottle`). `/resolve` requires it (#366), so
+  egress without it is denied — hence the bare `sleep` init: every real agent
+  command goes through exec and therefore carries the token.
+- The agent is run with `--cap-drop CAP_NET_RAW`. Apple Container grants
+  NET_RAW by default, which would let an agent open a raw socket and forge a
+  neighbour's source address on the shared segment. NET_ADMIN is already
+  absent (the agent cannot change its own address or route), so dropping
+  NET_RAW is what closes the source-address half of PRD 0070's invariant:
+  "a packet's source address, as seen by the orchestrator, provably identifies
+  the originating bottle." The identity token is the other half — an attacker
+  would need to forge the address *and* steal the token — but the invariant is
+  a stated precondition of consolidation, so it is enforced on its own terms
+  rather than left to the token.

-"""Ephemeral local OCI registry for the smolmachines agent-image
-conversion path (PRD 0023 chunk 4c).
-
-`smolvm pack create --image <ref>` only accepts OCI registry refs
-— it can't read the local docker daemon's image cache, an OCI
-layout directory, or a `docker save` tarball. To convert the
-agent's Dockerfile-built image into a `.smolmachine` artifact we
-spin up a short-lived `registry:2.8.3` container alongside a
-`crane` helper container on a private docker network, push via
-`crane push --insecure <tarball> <registry-container>:5000/...`,
-and let smolvm pull from the registry's published host port. The
-network + both containers are torn down after the pack completes.
-
-Why this two-container dance instead of plain `docker push`:
-- Docker Desktop's daemon runs in its own Linux VM, so its
-  `localhost` is not the host's loopback. A registry bound to
-  the host's 127.0.0.1 is unreachable from the daemon side.
-- `host.docker.internal` is reachable from the daemon but isn't
-  in Docker's default insecure-registries CIDRs (only `::1/128`
-  and `127.0.0.0/8` are), so `docker push` to it tries HTTPS,
-  hits a plain-HTTP registry, and dies with
-  `http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client`. Adding
-  `host.docker.internal` to daemon.json works but is a one-time
-  manual step the user has to do in Docker Desktop's UI.
-- Going through a docker network sidesteps the host-vs-daemon
-  loopback mismatch (crane and registry containers see each
-  other on the network) AND the HTTPS preference (crane has an
-  `--insecure` flag that forces plain HTTP).
-
-The registry is also published on a random host port so smolvm
-— a host process — can pull from `localhost:<port>` via Docker's
-port-forward. smolvm's bundled crane auto-falls-back to HTTP for
-localhost addresses, so no insecure-registries config is needed
-on that side either."""

-"""Per-bottle loopback alias allocation + TSI allowlist
-enforcement (PRD 0023, follow-up to PR #74).
-
-After the pivot to host-loopback port-forwards, the smolmachines
-TSI allowlist was `127.0.0.1/32` — which meant the agent VM could
-reach **any** service bound to macOS's loopback, not just the
-bundle's published ports. Real downgrade from the docker
-backend's `--internal` network isolation.
-
-This module narrows the allowlist by allocating each bottle a
-unique loopback alias (`127.0.0.16` .. `127.0.0.31`). The
-bundle's port-forwards bind to that alias, and the alias's /32
-is what TSI allows.
-
-**Smolvm 0.8.0 quirk + workaround.** `smolvm machine create
---from <smolmachine> --net --allow-cidr X/32` silently drops the
-flag — verified empirically that the agent process's allowlist
-ends up `null` in smolvm's persistent state DB (`~/Library/
-Application Support/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`, `vms` table,
-`data` BLOB), and the booted VM reaches all of `127.0.0.0/8`
-regardless of what we passed. Workaround: after machine_create,
-open the SQLite DB and patch the row's `allowed_cidrs` field
-directly. Smolvm reads the DB at machine_start, so the patched
-value takes effect on boot. Tested: enforcement is real — the
-guest's connect to a non-allowlisted IP fails with `Permission
-denied`. Other paths we tried (machine update, stop-edit-
-agent.config.json-restart, --smolfile, --image localhost:N/...)
-were dead ends.
-
-macOS only configures `127.0.0.1` on `lo0` by default; the
-additional aliases require `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. We lazily
-sudo-add the missing pool on first use per boot — the aliases
-persist on `lo0` until reboot, so subsequent launches don't
-prompt.
-
-On Linux the whole `127.0.0.0/8` is already routed to `lo`, so
-docker can publish a bundle's ports directly on `127.0.0.<N>`
-with no `ifconfig`/sudo step. `ensure_pool` is therefore a no-op
-on Linux, but per-bottle alias *allocation* and the TSI allowlist
-DB patch run on both platforms — the isolation property is
-identical, it's just cheaper to set up on Linux. The state-DB
-path differs per platform (see `_smolvm_db_path`).
-
-Allocation is coordinated by inspecting running bundle
-containers' published host IPs — each bottle's bundle owns the
-alias appearing in its port bindings. The lowest-numbered free
-alias gets handed to a new bottle."""

-
-One thin Python function per smolvm subcommand the launch flow
-needs. Two design choices worth flagging:
-
-  - **No daemon, no SDK.** smolvm 0.8.0 ships a `smolvm serve`
-    HTTP API as the long-term-clean integration target. The
-    project's stdlib-first ethos + the lower-overhead CLI calls
-    push v1 to shell out via `subprocess.run`. If a future
-    smolvm release makes `serve` mandatory (or significantly
-    faster), revisit.
-
-  - **Two return shapes.** `SmolvmRunResult` (returncode + stdout
-    + stderr captured) is returned by `machine_exec` because the
-    caller cares about the in-VM command's exit status, and by
-    test helpers that introspect output. The other calls
-    (`machine_start`, `machine_stop`, `pack_create`, etc.) raise
-    `SmolvmError` on non-zero exit — failure to start a VM is
-    fatal to the launch flow, not something callers want to
-    branch on.
