refactor(smolmachines): drop obsolete docker-sidecar helpers

CI runs as root, so chmod 0o000 doesn't prevent reads. Both
test_skips_unreadable_file (TestFindRepoBottleFile) and
test_returns_false_when_file_unreadable_on_write now mock
Path.read_text to raise OSError directly.

 ## Quickstart
 
-On compatible macOS hosts, the default backend requires Apple's `container` CLI and does not require Docker. The smolmachines backend requires Docker on the host for the sidecar bundle plus smolvm. The legacy Docker backend requires Docker. Claude bottles also need a long-lived Claude Code OAuth token (`claude setup-token`) exported as `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN`.

Claude bottles also need a long-lived Claude Code OAuth token (`claude setup-token`) exported as `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN`.
 
 Use `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=docker ./cli.py start <agent>` on hosts where Apple Container is not installed and Docker is the desired backend.
 
+### smolmachines on Linux
+
+The smolmachines backend runs on Linux as well as macOS. On Linux, `smolvm`/libkrun use KVM, so the host needs:
+
+- **`/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`.
+
+```sh
+BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./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`.

 ```sh
 ./cli.py start <agent>   # builds the image on first run, drops you into claude

+# ADR 0004: Risk-weighted coverage, not a single global target
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-06-25
+- **Deciders:** didericis
+
+## Context
+
+bot-bottle is a security tool: it sandboxes agents, scans egress for
+secret exfiltration, strips credentials, and gates git pushes. A latent
+bug in that logic is expensive, so test coverage there genuinely
+matters. But the repo also contains code where coverage is a poor
+signal:
+
+- **Interactive entry-point shells** — `cli/init.py` (a `read_tty_line()`
+  prompt loop) and `cli/tui.py` (a curses picker). Their bodies are I/O;
+  a unit test has to fake the entire terminal conversation, so it
+  inflates the number without asserting behaviour that would otherwise
+  go unchecked.
+- **Subprocess / backend orchestration** — the docker / smolmachines /
+  macos-container backends shell out to `docker`, `container`, `smolvm`.
+  Mock-heavy unit tests here mostly re-assert the argv you already
+  wrote (the test passes whether or not the real teardown works), while
+  many of the missed *branches* are failure paths you cannot provoke
+  against a real daemon on cue.
+
+Chasing a single global percentage (e.g. 90%) pushes the most test
+effort onto the least safety-relevant code — exactly backwards — and
+invites performative tests written to colour a line rather than to catch
+a regression (Goodhart's law).
+
+## Decision
+
+Coverage is **risk-weighted**, measured over the **combined unit +
+integration** suites, with three rules:
+
+1. **Critical modules target ≥ 90%.** The security/logic core —
+   `egress_addon{,_core}.py`, `dlp_detectors.py`, `egress.py`,
+   `manifest*.py`, `git_gate.py`, `git_http_backend.py`, `supervise.py`,
+   `yaml_subset.py`, `bottle_state.py` — is Docker-independent and
+   unit-testable, so it carries the high bar. We ratchet toward 90% as
+   these modules are touched; new gaps in them are not acceptable.
+
+2. **Subprocess/backend orchestration is covered by the integration
+   suite, not omitted.** `scripts/coverage.sh` runs unit + integration
+   under one coverage measurement so these modules are scored where they
+   are actually exercised. They stay *visible* — hiding the code that
+   tears down sandboxes and wires networks is the one place we will not
+   omit.
+
+3. **Interactive entry-point shells are omitted** (`.coveragerc`), with a
+   rationale comment. This is the only sanctioned use of `omit` besides
+   `tests/*`.
+
+The forward-looking guard is a **diff-coverage gate**
+(`scripts/diff_coverage.py`): new/changed executable lines on a branch
+must be ≥ 90% covered. This catches regressions where they are
+introduced without forcing a back-fill crusade through legacy glue. The
+gate skips lines in omitted files (there is no coverage data for them),
+so the omit list cannot launder *new* logic into the dark: anything that
+needs real testing must live outside the interactive shells to be
+scored at all.
+
+The **global percentage is informational**, not a CI gate — it would
+otherwise be hostage to the CI runner's Docker availability and to the
+omit list.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The number we report (`scripts/coverage.sh`) means "coverage of the
+  code we consider testable, across both suites" — a dip is a real
+  regression in code we control, not noise from added CLI glue.
+- No incentive to write mock-the-mock tests for orchestration to defend
+  a global figure.
+- The omit list needs governance: an entry must be a genuinely
+  interactive shell, justified in the `.coveragerc` comment and here.
+  `cli/init.py` and `cli/tui.py` qualify; backend orchestration does
+  not.
+- CI must run the integration suite under coverage to score the
+  orchestration modules; where the runner lacks Docker those tests skip

+# PRD 0066: Separate agent and bottle selection
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** claude
+- **Created:** 2026-06-25
+- **Issue:** #269
+
+## Summary
+
+Agents and bottles are two separate concerns: agents carry a system prompt and
+skills; bottles carry infrastructure configuration (egress, git-gate, env,
+agent provider). Today an agent's manifest file hard-codes a single `bottle:`
+reference, which prevents the same agent prompt from being reused across
+projects that need different bottle configurations. This PRD decouples them: at
+launch time, after choosing the agent, the operator picks an ordered list of
+bottles via a multi-select picker. The selected bottles are merged in order
+(later entries override earlier ones) to produce the effective bottle for the
+session.
+
+## Problem
+
+The current `bottle: <name>` field on an agent manifest file binds the agent
+permanently to one bottle. To use the same system prompt with a different bottle
+(e.g. `claude-implementer` at home vs. at a client site that needs a different
+egress policy), the operator must duplicate the agent file and change the
+`bottle:` field. Duplicate agent files drift out of sync.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+1. `bottle:` in an agent's frontmatter becomes optional. Existing manifests with
+   `bottle:` continue to work unchanged (backward compat).
+2. After selecting an agent (via the existing single-select picker), a new
+   multi-select bottle picker appears showing all available bottles.
+3. The multi-select picker pre-populates with the agent's `bottle:` value when
+   present.
+4. Confirming with one or more bottles selected uses those bottles, merged in
+   selection order, as the effective bottle for the session.
+5. Confirming with an empty selection falls back to the agent's `bottle:` field.
+   If neither is set, a ManifestError is raised pointing the operator at the fix.
+6. The ordered bottle list is stored in launch metadata so `./cli.py resume`
+   uses the same bottles.
+7. The preflight summary (`y/N` screen) shows the effective bottle name(s).
+8. The multi-select picker supports incremental filtering, Space/Enter to toggle
+   selection, an ordered "Selected: ..." summary line, Ctrl-D to confirm, and
+   Esc/q to cancel the whole start operation.
+9. Unit tests cover: multi-select widget (filter, toggle, confirm, cancel),
+   the `cmd_start` bottle-picker step, and the manifest `load_for_agent`
+   runtime-bottle-merge path.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Reordering the selection list from within the picker (order = insertion order;
+  drag-and-drop is out of scope).
+- Storing bottle selection history / MRU.
+- Changes to `./cli.py edit`, `./cli.py list`, or `./cli.py info`.
+- Removing the `bottle:` key from the agent schema (it stays, now optional).
+
+## Design
+
+### `bot_bottle/cli/tui.py` — `filter_multiselect`
+
+```python
+def filter_multiselect(
+    items: list[str],
+    *,
+    title: str = "",
+    initial: list[str] | None = None,
+    tty_path: str = "/dev/tty",
+) -> list[str] | None:
+    """Multi-select variant of filter_select.
+
+    Returns the ordered list of selected items, or None on cancel.
+    Press Space/Enter to toggle the item under the cursor.
+    Press Ctrl-D to confirm. Press Esc/q to cancel.
+    """
+```
+
+Layout:
+
+```
+Select bottles

+  [ ] codex
+─────────────────────────────────────────
+Selected (in order): claude
+─────────────────────────────────────────
+[↑↓/jk] move  [Space] toggle  [Ctrl-D] done  [Esc] cancel
+```
+
+`initial` pre-populates the ordered selection. `None` means no pre-selection.
+Items added are appended in insertion order; items removed leave the remaining
+order unchanged.
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_schema.py` — optional `bottle:`
+
+`bottle` moves from `AGENT_KEYS_REQUIRED` to `AGENT_KEYS_OPTIONAL`.
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_agent.py` — optional `bottle:`
+
+`ManifestAgent.bottle` changes from `str` (required) to `str = ""`.
+`from_dict` no longer requires the key to be present; the bottle-exists
+validation is skipped when the key is absent.
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_loader.py` — `scan_bottle_names`
+
+```python
+def scan_bottle_names(bottles_dir: Path) -> list[str]:
+    """Scan <bottles_dir>/*.md and return sorted bottle names."""
+```
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest.py` — `ManifestIndex` changes
+
+**`all_bottle_names` property** — analogous to `all_agent_names`; scans
+`home_md / "bottles"` in lazy mode, returns `sorted(self.bottles.keys())` in
+eager mode.
+
+**`load_for_agent(agent_name, bottle_names: tuple[str, ...] = ())`** — new
+`bottle_names` parameter. When non-empty, the listed bottles are resolved and
+merged in order (index 0 is the base; each subsequent bottle is applied on top
+using the same field-merge rules as `extends:`). The result replaces the bottle
+that `agent.bottle` would have provided. When empty, falls back to `agent.bottle`.
+Raises ManifestError if neither `bottle_names` nor `agent.bottle` is set.
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_extends.py` — `merge_bottles_runtime`
+
+```python
+def merge_bottles_runtime(bottles: list[ManifestBottle]) -> ManifestBottle:
+    """Merge an ordered list of pre-resolved ManifestBottle objects.
+
+    Index 0 is the base; each subsequent entry overrides the previous using
+    the same rules as the file-based extends machinery:
+      - env: dict merge, later wins
+      - git_user: per-field overlay, later wins on non-empty
+      - git (repos): union by name, later wins per-name
+      - egress.routes: concatenate
+      - agent_provider, supervise: later bottle's value replaces earlier
+    """
+```
+
+This function operates on already-parsed `ManifestBottle` objects, so it does
+not need to touch the raw-dict path.
+
+### `bot_bottle/backend/__init__.py` — `BottleSpec` + `_validate`
+
+`BottleSpec` gains `bottle_names: tuple[str, ...] = ()`.
+
+`BottleBackend._validate` passes `spec.bottle_names` to `load_for_agent`:
+
+```python
+manifest = spec.manifest.load_for_agent(spec.agent_name, spec.bottle_names)
+```
+
+The preflight print updates `info(f"bottle: {agent.bottle}")` to display the
+effective bottle name(s). When `spec.bottle_names` is non-empty those are
+shown; when empty and `agent.bottle` is set, the agent's `bottle:` is shown.
+
+### `bot_bottle/bottle_state.py` — persist bottle names
+
+`BottleMetadata` gains `bottle_names: tuple[str, ...] = ()`. `read_metadata`
+reads this from JSON (default `()`). `write_launch_metadata` passes
+`spec.bottle_names` through.
+
+### `bot_bottle/cli/start.py` — bottle multiselect step
+
+After agent selection, before the name/color modal:
+
+```python
+available_bottle_names = manifest.all_bottle_names
+# Peek at agent's bottle default for pre-population
+initial_bottle = _peek_agent_bottle(manifest, agent_name)
+initial = [initial_bottle] if initial_bottle else []
+
+bottle_names_list = tui.filter_multiselect(
+    available_bottle_names,
+    title="Select bottles",
+    initial=initial,
+)
+if bottle_names_list is None:
+    return 0  # user cancelled
+bottle_names = tuple(bottle_names_list)
+```
+
+`_peek_agent_bottle` reads the agent file's frontmatter without full parsing,
+returning the `bottle:` value or `""` when absent.
+
+`BottleSpec` is built with `bottle_names=bottle_names`.
+
+### `bot_bottle/cli/resume.py` — bottle names from metadata
+
+```python
+spec = BottleSpec(
+    ...
+    bottle_names=tuple(metadata.bottle_names),
+)
+```
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **Schema + model** — `manifest_schema.py`, `manifest_agent.py` (optional
+   `bottle:`), `manifest_loader.py` (`scan_bottle_names`), `manifest.py`
+   (`all_bottle_names`, `load_for_agent` signature), `manifest_extends.py`
+   (`merge_bottles_runtime`), `bottle_state.py` (`bottle_names` field),
+   `resolve_common.py` (thread through).
+2. **Backend** — `BottleSpec.bottle_names`, `_validate`, preflight print.
+3. **TUI** — `filter_multiselect` in `tui.py` + unit tests.
+4. **CLI wiring** — `start.py` bottle picker step, `resume.py` metadata load.
+5. **Tests** — `test_cli_start_selector.py` bottle-picker cases,

+# PRD 0067: 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. Schema migrations use a `PRAGMA user_version` runner — no third-party deps.
+7. 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 library.
+
+## 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.

+# PRD 0068: smolmachines backend on Linux
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-06-25
+- **Issue:** #283
+
+## Summary
+
+Make the `smolmachines` backend (PRD 0023) runnable on Linux, not
+just macOS. `smolvm` already supports Linux via KVM (`/dev/kvm`);
+the gap is entirely in bot-bottle's host-side glue, which hard-codes
+macOS assumptions in three places:
+
+1. **Preflight** only checks that `smolvm` is on `PATH` — it never
+   checks the Linux KVM prerequisite, so a misconfigured host fails
+   deep in the launch flow with an opaque `smolvm` error.
+2. **The TSI allowlist enforcement** (`force_allowlist`) — the
+   security property that confines the agent VM to its sidecar
+   bundle's `/32` — **no-ops on Linux today, failing _open_**. The
+   smolvm state-DB path it patches is hard-coded to macOS's
+   `~/Library/Application Support/...`.
+3. **Per-bottle loopback scoping** (`allocate`) returns the shared
+   `127.0.0.1` on Linux, which would let the agent VM reach every
+   service on host loopback — a downgrade from the per-bottle alias
+   isolation macOS gets.
+
+This PRD closes all three so a bottle launched with
+`BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines` on Linux gets the same isolation
+guarantee it gets on macOS, and documents the Linux/NixOS host
+setup. The primary validation target is NixOS, but the changes are
+distro-agnostic.
+
+## Problem
+
+The smolmachines backend runs each bottle's agent inside a libkrun
+microVM via `smolvm`, with egress confined by TSI's `--allow-cidr`
+allowlist set to a single `/32` — the sidecar bundle's loopback
+address. Everything else (host loopback, LAN, internet) is denied at
+the VMM layer. That security property is the entire reason the
+backend exists.
+
+libkrun runs on Hypervisor.framework (macOS) **and** KVM (Linux), and
+`smolvm` ships Linux x86_64 / aarch64 builds that require `/dev/kvm`.
+So the microVM layer already works on Linux. What does not work is
+bot-bottle's host integration, which PRD 0023 explicitly scoped to
+macOS-only for v1. Three concrete blockers:
+
+- **No KVM preflight.** On a Linux host without `/dev/kvm` (kernel
+  module not loaded) or without access to it (user not in the `kvm`
+  group), the failure surfaces as a cryptic `smolvm` non-zero exit
+  mid-launch instead of an actionable message.
+
+- **TSI enforcement fails open on Linux.** `force_allowlist`
+  early-returns on non-macOS. It exists because `smolvm` 0.8.0
+  silently drops `--allow-cidr` when combined with `--from`, so the
+  allowlist has to be patched into smolvm's persisted state DB before
+  `machine start`. On Linux that patch never runs **and** the DB path
+  is the macOS path, so the booted VM's TSI allowlist is whatever
+  smolvm defaulted to — potentially all of `127.0.0.0/8`. That is the
+  exact sandbox-escape the backend is supposed to prevent.
+
+- **No per-bottle loopback isolation on Linux.** `allocate` returns
+  `127.0.0.1` on Linux. Even with a correct allowlist, `127.0.0.1/32`
+  is shared by every service on host loopback, so the agent could
+  reach other bottles' published ports and host services. On macOS
+  this is solved with per-bottle `127.0.0.16..31` aliases added via
+  `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. On Linux the whole `127.0.0.0/8` is
+  already routed to `lo`, so docker can publish to `127.0.0.<N>`
+  with **no `ifconfig`/sudo step at all** — the isolation is actually
+  cheaper to achieve than on macOS.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./cli.py start <agent>` launches,
+  runs, and tears down a bottle on a Linux host with `/dev/kvm`.
+- The TSI allowlist is enforced on Linux: PRD 0022's
+  `tests/integration/test_sandbox_escape.py` passes against
+  `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines` on Linux (the acceptance gate).
+- Each Linux bottle is scoped to its own `127.0.0.<N>/32`, matching
+  the macOS per-bottle isolation property.
+- A clear, actionable preflight error when `/dev/kvm` is missing or
+  inaccessible, with remediation (load `kvm-intel`/`kvm-amd`, join the
+  `kvm` group).
+- **Fail-closed:** if bot-bottle cannot positively confirm the TSI
+  allowlist was persisted for a machine (DB missing, row missing,
+  patch didn't take), it `die()`s before `machine start` rather than
+  booting a VM with an unverified allowlist.
+- macOS behavior is unchanged.
+- README documents Linux + NixOS host setup.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Rootless / non-KVM fallbacks (e.g. software emulation). Linux
+  smolmachines requires `/dev/kvm`, full stop.
+- Removing Docker as a host dependency — the sidecar bundle and
+  image-build pipeline still use Docker on Linux, same as macOS.
+- Auto-installing `smolvm` or configuring KVM on the operator's
+  behalf. Preflight reports; the operator remediates.
+- Nested-virtualization tuning for running the runner itself inside a
+  VM (documented as a caveat, not solved here).
+
+## Design
+
+### Platform detection
+
+Reuse the existing `platform.system()` check already in
+`loopback_alias.py` (`_is_macos()`). "Linux" is "not macOS" for every
+branch below; no new third-platform path.
+
+### Preflight: KVM gate (`util.smolmachines_preflight`)
+
+After the existing `smolvm`-on-`PATH` check, add a Linux-only gate:
+
+- `/dev/kvm` must exist → else `die()` with "enable KVM
+  (`kvm-intel`/`kvm-amd` kernel module)".
+- `/dev/kvm` must be readable + writable by the current user
+  (`os.access(..., R_OK | W_OK)`) → else `die()` with "add your user
+  to the `kvm` group (and re-login)".
+
+macOS is unaffected (Hypervisor.framework needs no device node).
+
+### smolvm state-DB path (platform-aware)
+
+`loopback_alias._SMOLVM_DB_PATH` becomes platform-derived:
+
+- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`
+  (unchanged).
+- Linux: `$XDG_DATA_HOME/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`, defaulting to
+  `~/.local/share/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`.
+
+> **Verification note:** the Linux DB location is inferred from
+> smolvm's documented `~/.local/share` install layout and the XDG
+> base-dir spec. It must be confirmed on a real Linux smolvm install;
+> if smolvm uses a different path or schema, the fail-closed check
+> below turns that into a clear `die()` at launch rather than a silent
+> escape.
+
+### TSI enforcement: cross-platform + fail-closed (`force_allowlist`)
+
+Rework `force_allowlist(machine_name, allowed_cidrs)` to run on
+**both** platforms and to fail closed:
+
+1. Resolve the state DB; if the file is missing, `die()` (cannot
+   confirm enforcement → refuse to launch).
+2. Read the machine's persisted row; if the row is missing, `die()`.
+3. If the row's `allowed_cidrs` already equals the requested list
+   (e.g. a newer `smolvm` that honors `--allow-cidr` at create), do
+   nothing — no write.
+4. Otherwise patch `allowed_cidrs` (the existing BLOB-encoded write)
+   and re-read.
+5. If, after the patch, `allowed_cidrs` still does not equal the
+   requested list, `die()`.
+
+This is robust across smolvm versions: it works whether `--allow-cidr`
+is silently dropped (0.8.0) or honored (newer), and it never boots a
+VM whose persisted allowlist it could not confirm. It is a strict
+improvement on macOS too (today's code writes unconditionally and
+never verifies).
+
+> The persisted-row check confirms our write took, not that smolvm's
+> runtime TSI enforces it. The runtime guarantee is covered by the
+> sandbox-escape acceptance test; the persisted check is the cheap
+> fail-closed guard at launch.
+
+### Per-bottle loopback scoping on Linux (`allocate`)
+
+`allocate` runs the same docker-state-driven allocation on Linux as on
+macOS (`_allocate_locked`, the file lock, and `_aliases_in_use` via
+`docker inspect` are all already cross-platform). The only macOS-only
+step, `ensure_pool` (the `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias` dance), stays
+macOS-only: on Linux `127.0.0.0/8` is already loopback, so docker can
+publish bundle ports directly on `127.0.0.<N>` with no setup.
+
+Net effect: Linux bottles get per-bottle `127.0.0.16..31/32` scoping
+identical to macOS, without sudo.
+
+### Launch flow
+
+`launch.py` needs no structural change — `_allocate_resources` already
+calls `ensure_pool()` (now a Linux no-op) then `allocate()` (now
+per-bottle on Linux), and `_launch_vm` already calls
+`force_allowlist()` (now active on Linux). Only the macOS-specific
+docstrings are updated to describe the cross-platform behavior.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **Preflight KVM gate** — `util.smolmachines_preflight` +
+   unit tests for the missing-device and no-access branches.
+2. **Platform-aware DB path + fail-closed `force_allowlist`** —
+   `loopback_alias.py`; update/extend `TestForceAllowlist`.
+3. **Cross-platform `allocate`** — drop the Linux early-return; update
+   `TestAllocate` / `TestAllocateLock` for the new Linux behavior.
+4. **Docstring + comment cleanup** in `launch.py` and module headers.
+5. **Docs** — README requirements + a Linux/NixOS host-setup section.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- **Unit (CI, any OS):** the suite mocks `platform.system()` /
+  `subprocess` and patches `_SMOLVM_DB_PATH`, so the new Linux
+  branches are testable on the macOS/Linux CI runner without `smolvm`
+  or KVM. Covers: KVM preflight branches, fail-closed `force_allowlist`
+  (DB missing, row missing, patch-doesn't-take), per-bottle Linux
+  allocation + locking, platform-derived DB path.
+- **Integration (Linux host with KVM — the acceptance gate):**
+  `tests/integration/test_sandbox_escape.py` against
+  `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines`. This cannot run on the macOS dev
+  box and must be executed on NixOS before merge.
+
+## Open questions / verification pending
+
+- **Confirm the Linux smolvm state-DB path and schema** on a real
+  install (the `~/.local/share/...` inference above).
+- **Confirm whether the current smolvm Linux build still drops
+  `--allow-cidr` with `--from`** (the 0.8.0 bug). The fail-closed
+  design handles either answer, but knowing lets us drop the DB patch
+  if upstream fixed it.
+- **Confirm docker publishing to `127.0.0.<N>` on Linux** behaves as
+  expected end-to-end with TSI (high confidence; standard loopback
+  behavior, but unverified on the target host).

+# PRD prd-new: smolmachines sidecar VM
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** codex
+- **Created:** 2026-07-09
+- **Issue:** #332
+
+## Summary
+
+Run the smolmachines backend's trusted sidecar bundle as its own smolVM instead
+of a Docker container. A bottle then consists of an agent VM plus a sidecar VM,
+with the agent VM's TSI allowlist limited to the per-bottle agent-facing
+sidecar surface.
+
+## Problem
+
+The smolmachines backend currently runs the agent in smolVM but keeps
+egress/git-gate/supervise in a Docker sidecar bundle. That hybrid launch path
+keeps Docker in the trusted runtime path and leaves smolmachines with a
+different isolation boundary than its agent VM design suggests.
+
+The existing Docker sidecar path also uses Docker port publishing to bind only
+agent-facing services to the per-bottle host address. TSI is IP-only, so the
+smolVM replacement must preserve that scoping: publishing sidecar services on
+generic host localhost would let the agent reach unrelated host services or
+other bottle sidecars if those services share the allowed address.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+1. `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./cli.py start <agent>` runs with both the
+   agent and sidecar as smolVMs.
+2. The smolmachines launch path no longer uses `docker run` for the sidecar
+   bundle.
+3. Agent-facing egress, git-gate, and supervise endpoints are exposed only
+   through the bottle's own published sidecar surface.
+4. Internal sidecar-only ports are not reachable from the agent VM.
+5. The agent VM TSI allowlist remains fail-closed and limited to the per-bottle
+   address.
+6. Sidecar config, secrets, and state are delivered to the sidecar VM without
+   exposing provider or forge credentials to the agent VM.
+7. Teardown removes both VMs and any host-side published port state.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Rewriting the egress, git-gate, or supervise daemons.
+- Changing the Docker backend's sidecar bundle behavior.
+- Replacing the existing agent image build and pack pipeline except where shared
+  helper extraction is needed for sidecar image packing.
+- Weakening the current smolmachines TSI allowlist checks.
+
+## Design
+
+The sidecar VM continues to use the existing sidecar bundle image and
+`/app/sidecar_init.py` supervisor. The launch flow builds the sidecar image,
+packs it into a `.smolmachine` artifact, creates a per-bottle sidecar VM from
+that artifact, passes the same daemon-selection environment the Docker bundle
+uses today, mounts or copies the same daemon-private config/state inputs, starts
+the sidecar VM, wraps the sidecar VM's raw smolVM-published ports with a local
+per-bottle forwarder, then starts the agent VM with
+`--allow-cidr <per-bottle-address>/32`.
+
+smolVM currently exposes guest ports as `HOST:GUEST` port pairs bound on host
+loopback. It does not expose an address-scoped bind like
+`127.0.0.16:<port>:9099`. Because TSI is IP-only, bot-bottle must not advertise
+those raw loopback ports directly to the agent. Instead, bot-bottle runs one
+small stdlib Python TCP forwarder process per bottle:
+
+```text
+agent VM
+  -> TSI allows only <bottle-address>/32
+  -> bot-bottle forwarder bound to <bottle-address>:<random-port>
+  -> raw smolVM-published sidecar port on 127.0.0.1:<raw-port>
+  -> sidecar VM service
+```
+
+Agent-facing URLs are stamped from the forwarder ports, never the raw smolVM
+ports:
+
+- `HTTP_PROXY` / `HTTPS_PROXY` point at the published egress proxy port.
+- `GIT_GATE_URL` points at the published git HTTP port when git-gate is enabled.
+- `MCP_SUPERVISE_URL` points at the published supervise port when supervise is
+  enabled.
+
+Internal sidecar-only services stay bound inside the sidecar VM and are not
+published.
+
+### Forwarder constraints
+
+- Reject wildcard listener binds (`0.0.0.0`, `::`) and generic localhost
+  listener binds (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`) for agent-facing forwards.
+- Accept only fixed loopback targets selected by launch; the client cannot
+  choose or influence the forwarding target.
+- Forward bytes transparently without parsing HTTP, CONNECT, TLS, Git, or MCP.
+- Log lifecycle and endpoint metadata only; never log payload bytes.
+- Create forwards only for egress, git HTTP when enabled, and supervise when
+  enabled.
+- Fail closed if any listener cannot bind exactly the requested per-bottle
+  address.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. Extract the existing image-to-smolmachine pack helper so agent and sidecar
+   artifacts share the same cache and registry path.
+2. Add a strict stdlib host TCP forwarder for per-bottle address-bound
+   forwarding to raw smolVM-published sidecar ports.
+3. Add a sidecar VM launch spec and lifecycle helpers: pack, create, start,
+   publish/discover ports, stop, delete.
+4. Switch smolmachines launch from Docker sidecar bundle lifecycle to sidecar VM
+   plus forwarder lifecycle.
+5. Update egress apply / reload paths for the sidecar VM supervisor.
+6. Add unit tests for argv shape, URL stamping, teardown, and fail-closed
+   behavior.
+7. Add or update integration coverage for agent-to-sidecar reachability, host
+   localhost denial, other-bottle alias denial, internal port denial, and
+   teardown cleanup.

+"""Unit: EgressAddon request/response decision flow (issue #286).
+
+`egress_addon.py` is the sidecar-only mitmproxy adapter that wires the
+host-importable decision logic in `egress_addon_core` into mitmproxy's
+request/response hooks. The core logic is exercised directly by
+`test_egress_addon_core.py`; the redaction logging by
+`test_egress_addon_log_redaction.py`. This file covers the adapter glue
+itself — `request()`, `response()`, `websocket_message()`, introspection,
+auth injection, git push/fetch blocking and the outbound-DLP policy
+branches — so `bot_bottle/egress_addon.py` no longer has to be omitted
+from coverage.
+
+mitmproxy is not installed on the host, so we pre-populate `sys.modules`
+with the minimum stubs needed to import the adapter (a `mitmproxy.http`
+module exposing a `Response` with `.make`, plus the flat
+`egress_addon_core` name the sidecar uses)."""
