fix(orchestrator): only recreate the orchestrator on a real source change

ensure_running() unconditionally recreated the bot-bottle-orchestrator
container on every bottle launch, added so bind-mounted code changes take
effect (the process never reloads). But the orchestrator's per-bottle
egress auth tokens live only in its process memory (Orchestrator._tokens),
by design never persisted to disk. So starting a second bottle recreated
the container and silently dropped the FIRST bottle's already-injected
token -- its next authed egress call 403s with "env var EGRESS_TOKEN_0 is
unset", and it needs a full restart to recover.

Now the orchestrator container is labeled with a content hash of its
bind-mounted bot_bottle source, mirroring the gateway's existing
image-staleness check. ensure_running only recreates on a hash mismatch
(a real code change), so a bottle launch that isn't accompanied by a code
change leaves a healthy orchestrator -- and every other active bottle's
in-memory tokens -- alone.

Fixes #381.

 ## 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 sidecar bundle for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the sidecars 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 sidecars. 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.

+- **Docker** for the sidecar bundle 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.
-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`.

-> **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`.

+sandbox escape — and we refuse to continue.

+The listener is load-bearing: without it a "blocked" result could just

+"""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 sidecar (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.

-
-`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

-`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."""

-"""Host-side SIGWINCH → in-VM PTY resize bridge (issue #82).
-
-smolvm 0.8.0 `machine exec -t` allocates an in-VM PTY but never
-forwards the host terminal's window size (TIOCSWINSZ) to it. The
-PTY's initial size is `0 0`, and any host-side resize during the
-session goes unnoticed — the in-VM claude TUI keeps rendering for
-whatever (typically tiny) box it last saw, ignoring the operator's
-tmux pane resize. `docker exec -it` does this forwarding
-automatically; smolvm doesn't.
-
-This module wraps `smolvm machine exec` with a thin parent
-process that:
-
-  1. Spawns the original argv as a child (it gets the inherited
-     TTY, so claude's stdin/stdout/stderr work unchanged).
-  2. On startup + every host SIGWINCH, reads the host terminal
-     size via TIOCGWINSZ on stdin (or stderr if stdin isn't a
-     TTY — tmux respawn-pane gives us a TTY on stdout/stderr)
-     and pushes it into the VM with a side-channel
-     `smolvm machine exec -- sh -c 'for f in /dev/pts/*; do
-     stty -F $f cols X rows Y; done'`. The kernel delivers
-     SIGWINCH to the foreground process group on the slave end
-     automatically, so claude picks up the new size without
-     extra signalling.
-  3. Waits on the child and exits with its returncode.
-
-The dashboard's tmux pane respawn calls `bottle.agent_argv`
-which now prepends `[sys.executable, -m, ..., <machine>, --, ...]`
-to the smolvm argv. Foreground handoff (curses endwin →

-"""Thin subprocess wrapper around the `smolvm` CLI (PRD 0023).
-
-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.
-
-The wrapper is unit-tested with `subprocess.run` mocked; the
-integration smoke test (chunk 2d) exercises against a real
-smolvm binary."""

+avoids the host firewall (which drops container→host traffic), and the gateway
+reaches the control plane by container name over docker DNS. The host CLI
+reaches it via a published loopback port.

+launches agent containers (compose), so the orchestrator needs no docker

+
+- **Status:** Draft (partially superseded)
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-12
+- **Issue:** #348
+
+> **Superseded in part by [PRD 0070](0070-per-host-orchestrator.md) (#351):**
+> the sidecar-consolidation framing here (Stage 1, per-host sidecar; Stage 4,
+> sidecar-as-VM) is taken over by 0070's per-host orchestrator. This PRD still
+> owns the docker-free **image-building** work — Stage 2 (nix-built fixed
+> images, a dependency of 0070) and Stage 3 (in-VM Dockerfile builder).
+
+## Summary
+
+Make the Firecracker backend depend on **firecracker + KVM only**, removing
+Docker from the host. Two moves get us there: run the **sidecar bundle as a
+persistent, per-host service** (eventually a Firecracker VM) instead of a
+per-bottle container, and **build agent rootfs images without a host Docker
+daemon** (nix for the fixed images; an in-VM builder for user Dockerfiles).
+
+## Motivation
+
+Two operator-facing costs and one security constraint:
+
+- **Resource cost.** Every bottle spins up its own sidecar bundle (egress
+  mitmproxy + git-gate + supervise). N bottles → N heavy bundles.
+- **Operational simplicity.** Per-launch `docker run` churn, a Docker daemon
+  to keep healthy, and Docker's iptables to coexist with.
+- **Privilege / minimal-runner.** The backend needs the Docker socket
+  (rootfs export + sidecar containers), and membership in the `docker`
+  group is root-equivalent. This blocks a genuinely unprivileged run: a
+  dedicated CI-runner user (or any confined caller) is effectively root as
+  long as Docker is required. See the paused work in
+  `nix/gitea-runner.nix` / the coverage CI gate — it can't be "minimal"
+  until Docker is gone.
+
+Removing Docker collapses all three.
+
+## Where Docker is used today (inventory)
+
+1. **Rootfs source** — `docker build` (agent image from a Dockerfile) then
+   `docker create` + `docker export | tar` → `mke2fs -d` (see
+   `bot_bottle/backend/firecracker/util.py:build_base_rootfs_dir` and
+   `docker_image_id`).
+2. **Sidecar bundle** — `docker run bot-bottle-sidecars-<slug>` per bottle
+   (egress / git-gate / supervise); the VM reaches it at the host TAP IP via
+   DNAT (`launch.py`, `resolve_common`).
+3. **Digests / cache keys** — `docker image inspect` for the rootfs cache
+   key.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Host prerequisites for the Firecracker backend become **firecracker,
+  `/dev/kvm`, iproute2, nftables** — no Docker daemon, no `docker` group.
+- Launch is **rootless** (open the pre-created TAP pool + KVM; no socket).
+- One sidecar per host instead of one per bottle (resource + ops win).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Changing the macOS (Apple Container) or legacy Docker backends.
+- Removing OCI/Dockerfile support for agent images — users keep writing
+  Dockerfiles; only the *host* stops needing a Docker daemon.
+
+## Design (staged)
+
+Ordered so each stage is independently valuable and de-risks the next.
+
+### Stage 1 — Sidecar: persistent + per-host, source-IP-keyed
+
+One sidecar bundle per host, shared by all bottles, with per-bottle policy
+keyed on the **source IP** of incoming traffic. This is safe here because
+the point-to-point `/31` TAP + the `bot_bottle_fc` nft table make the source
+IP of anything from `bbfcN` *provably* that bottle's guest IP (no spoofing,
+no cross-bottle traffic) — so the sidecar can attribute a request to a
+bottle with confidence a shared bridge could not offer.
+
+Per-service, sharing differs:
+
+- **supervise** — host-level is a clean win (unified approval queue, ~no
+  secrets). Do first.
+- **egress (mitmproxy)** — shareable via a client-IP addon that selects the
+  per-bottle allowlist / DLP / token-injection. Higher blast radius: one
+  process now holds every bottle's upstream tokens (see Security).
+- **git-gate** — most secret-dense (per-repo deploy keys) and least
+  naturally shareable (git carries no source-IP-scoped auth). Keep
+  per-bottle unless there's a strong reason.
+
+Needs a small **control plane**: add/remove a bottle's routes/keys/proposals
+on launch/teardown with live reload, replacing "config baked at launch,
+torn down at exit."
+
+Can ship as a container first (quick resource/ops win) and become a VM in
+Stage 4.
+
+### Stage 2 — Fixed images built with nix (no Docker)
+
+The images bot-bottle *ships* — the sidecar, the agent base, and the builder
+(Stage 3) — are built declaratively with nix (`nixos-generators` /
+`make-ext4-fs` / `pkgs.dockerTools` for the rootfs), producing an ext4 or
+tar with correct ownership. Removes Docker for everything we own and gives
+the rootless-rootfs correctness (#347) for free on these images.
+
+### Stage 3 — User Dockerfiles built in a builder VM (the unlock)
+
+The variable part — a user's own agent Dockerfile — builds **inside a
+throwaway (or persistent) Firecracker builder VM** running `buildah`/`podman`
+(rootless, daemonless) or a full in-guest dockerd. The host runs no Docker.
+Bonus: an untrusted Dockerfile executes in a disposable VM, which is *more*
+isolated than `docker build` on the host.
+
+With this, launch touches no host Docker → the backend is rootless → the
+dedicated CI-runner user needs no `docker` group. **This is the stage that
+unblocks the minimal-runner / coverage-CI work.**
+
+Open problems to solve here (prototype first):
+- **Build cache.** No Docker layer cache; a persistent cache disk on the
+  builder VM (or content-addressed rootfs cache) so rebuilds aren't full
+  re-`apt`.
+- **Build-time egress.** `apt`/pulls need network → through the sidecar,
+  which is itself built earlier → nix-built fixed images break the
+  chicken-and-egg (nothing needs Docker to come up).
+
+### Stage 4 — Sidecar (and builder) as Firecracker VMs
+
+Full firecracker-native: the sidecar is a VM on its own TAP; agent VM →
+sidecar VM is VM-to-VM, so the host forwards `bbfcN` → sidecar TAP and the
+nft table grows forward rules (today it *drops* all non-DNAT'd egress). A
+**per-host** sidecar VM makes the boot/memory overhead amortized and gives a
+stable IP every agent points at.
+
+## Security considerations
+
+- **Secret concentration.** Per-bottle sidecars isolate secrets at the
+  process boundary — each holds only its bottle's tokens/keys. A host
+  sidecar concentrates *all* bottles' secrets in one long-lived process and
+  shifts isolation to **application-level** (correct source-IP keying). A
+  single attribution bug leaks bottle A's token into bottle B's request — a
+  class of bug that can't exist per-bottle. Mitigation: lean on the
+  unspoofable TAP+nft attribution; consider keeping the most secret-dense
+  service (git-gate) per-bottle.
+- **Build isolation improves.** Running untrusted Dockerfiles in a
+  disposable VM is stronger than host `docker build`.
+- **Shared fate.** A host sidecar crash/compromise now affects every bottle.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- Build cache design (per-builder-VM disk vs content-addressed host cache).
+- VM-to-VM routing + the nft forward rules for a sidecar VM.
+- Control-plane shape for dynamic per-bottle sidecar config + live reload.
+- Whether egress is worth sharing given the secret-concentration tradeoff,
+  or only supervise (+ keep egress/git-gate per-bottle for now).
+
+## Rollout / relation to other work
+
+- Stages 1–2 are high-value and comparatively cheap; **Stage 3 is the
+  unlock** for rootless launch and the paused dedicated-runner work; Stage 4
+  is the pure finish and the most networking effort.
+- Prototype Stage 3 first ("Dockerfile → agent rootfs, inside a Firecracker
+  VM, cached, with build-time egress"): if that's ergonomic and fast, the
+  rest follows.
+- Related: #347 (rootless rootfs ownership — subsumed by nix-built fixed
+  images + the in-VM builder), and the deferred coverage CI gate / gitea
+  runner (blocked on Stage 3).

+# PRD 0070: Per-host orchestrator service
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-12
+- **Issue:** #351
+- **Supersedes:** the Stage-1 / Stage-4 sidecar-consolidation framing of
+  PRD 0069 (#348). Depends on 0069's nix-built fixed images (Stage 2) for
+  bootstrapping; 0069 still owns the docker-free image-building work.
+
+## Summary
+
+Replace the **per-bottle gateway bundle** with a single **persistent,
+per-host orchestrator**: one long-lived service that runs the gateway
+functions (egress / git-gate / supervise), coordinates with the console,
+and brokers agent launches and teardown. It is **virtualized from the
+start** using each backend's native isolation primitive — a Firecracker
+microVM on the Firecracker backend, an Apple container on macOS, a Docker
+container on the legacy backend — and is fronted by a single
+**backend-agnostic contract**. Per-backend variation lives on
+`BottleBackend`, not in the orchestrator.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Today each bottle spins up its own gateway bundle (egress mitmproxy +
+git-gate + supervise). That costs:
+
+- **Resources.** N bottles → N heavy bundles booting and idling.
+- **Operational churn.** Per-launch container/VM lifecycle for the
+  gateways, a control path baked at launch and torn down at exit.
+- **A blurry contract.** "How a bottle talks to its gateway" is
+  re-implemented per backend instead of being one agreed interface.
+
+A per-host orchestrator collapses the first two and forces the third to
+be made explicit. It's also the component that will own per-host runtime
+**state** (slot leases, the approval queue, the bottle registry) — today
+that's ad-hoc `fcntl`-locked files.
+
+## Security review (read this first)
+
+Consolidation is a real change to the trust model. The goal is to **not
+significantly weaken** the posture; some properties strengthen, some
+weaken, and the weakened ones must be mitigated by design, not hand-waved.
+
+### What gets stronger
+
+- **Build/host isolation of untrusted inputs** (with 0069 Stage 3): user
+  Dockerfiles build in a disposable VM instead of on the host.
+- **One audited privileged surface.** Today the launcher runs as the full
+  host user and needs the Docker socket (root-equivalent). The orchestrator
+  model replaces that with a **thin launch broker** (below) — a small,
+  structured, auditable privileged core instead of a fat socket.
+- **Attribution is enforced, not assumed.** Making source-IP identity a
+  first-class contract invariant (below) means each backend must *prove*
+  it, rather than the gateway implicitly trusting network position.
+
+### What gets weaker, and the mitigation
+
+1. **Secret concentration.** Per-bottle gateways isolate secrets at the
+   process boundary — each holds only its bottle's tokens/keys. A host
+   orchestrator concentrates **every bottle's** egress tokens, git deploy
+   keys, and the console credential in one long-lived process. A single
+   attribution bug leaks bottle A's token into bottle B's request — a class
+   of bug that *cannot exist* per-bottle.
+   - *Mitigation:* lean on the enforced source-IP invariant for
+     attribution; keep the most secret-dense, least-shareable service
+     (**git-gate**, per-repo deploy keys, no natural source-IP scoping)
+     **per-bottle** unless there's a compelling reason; scope each secret
+     to the bottle in the state DB so a lookup can't return the wrong
+     bottle's secret by construction (key every secret access by the
+     verified source identity, never by ambient state).
+
+2. **Shared fate.** Orchestrator down = no new launches, and running
+   agents lose egress / git / supervise. Compromise = the whole host's
+   fleet, plus launch authority, plus the console token.
+   - *Mitigation:* the orchestrator is itself confined (its own VM/container
+     with its own fail-closed egress); make it **restartable without killing
+     running agent VMs** (agents keep running; they briefly lose gateway
+     connectivity until it's back); persist state to a host volume so a
+     restart re-adopts live bottles rather than losing them.
+
+3. **The launch broker is the new privileged core.** We don't eliminate
+   host privilege — we shrink and relocate it. If the broker accepts
+   arbitrary paths/commands, the orchestrator VM can escape through it.
+   - *Mitigation:* the broker takes **structured requests only** — "launch
+     bottle from *this* content-addressed, nix-built rootfs on TAP slot
+     *k*", never "run this argv". It validates against a fixed image set,
+     not caller-supplied paths. It is small enough to audit line-by-line.
+
+4. **The egress proxy now parses every bottle's traffic in one process.**
+   Higher blast radius for a mitmproxy/TLS-bump bug.
+   - *Mitigation:* this is the argument for virtualizing the orchestrator
+     from the start (Stage B, not a host daemon) — the code that TLS-bumps
+     and parses agent traffic and holds every token runs **inside its own
+     confined VM**, not as a host process. If egress sharing's blast radius
+     feels too high, egress can stay per-bottle while supervise (near-zero
+     secrets) goes host-level first.
+
+### The attribution invariant
+
+Source-IP attribution is what makes a shared orchestrator safe: one
+process serves every bottle and tells them apart by source address. The
+*mechanism* is identical everywhere (read source IP → look up bottle); the
+**guarantee that the address can't be forged is a per-backend
+responsibility** and part of the contract:
+
+> **Invariant:** a packet's source address, as seen by the orchestrator,
+> *provably* identifies the originating bottle.
+
+- **Firecracker** — enforced by the `/31` point-to-point TAP + the
+  `bot_bottle_fc` nft table (strongest; already built).
+- **Docker** — the per-bottle `--internal` network + anti-spoof; weaker,
+  must be made explicit.
+- **Apple** — the host-only network.
+
+If a backend can't honor the invariant, source-IP consolidation is not
+safe there and that backend keeps per-bottle gateways. The invariant is a
+hard precondition, not an aspiration.
+
+**Defense-in-depth — a per-bottle identity token.** On top of the
+network-layer invariant, inject a per-bottle secret token into every
+request the agent makes to the orchestrator (the agent already egresses
+through the gateway proxy, so this is cheap to add). It gives an
+**application-layer** proof of identity independent of the network layer:
+
+- On **Firecracker** the `/31` + nft already make source IP unspoofable
+  *by construction*, so the token is belt-and-suspenders there — but cheap
+  insurance against a misconfigured invariant.
+- On **weaker backends** (Docker) it is load-bearing, providing attribution
+  that doesn't lean on network anti-spoof.
+
+Requirements: the token is **per-bottle, unguessable, and
+non-cross-leakable** — a bottle can only ever prove it is *itself* (it
+can't learn another bottle's token, given bottle isolation), so a hostile
+agent gains nothing by presenting it. The orchestrator provisions the
+token at launch and the gateway requires it to attribute + authorize.
+Note this hardens *attribution*, not *secret exposure*: it's app-layer, so
+a compromised orchestrator still sees every token (that's the
+concentration problem, addressed separately under Secret handling).
+
+### Secret handling — a FUTURE pattern (not v1)
+
+> **Status: future / not required for the initial orchestrator.** The
+> initial cut can inject secrets as today; this section records the
+> direction so v1 doesn't paint itself into a corner. Tracked as its own
+> work in **#355** (generic `SecretProvider`).
+
+The residual weakness after all of the above is **long-lived credential
+concentration** — the data-plane proxies must hold every bottle's upstream
+tokens because the agent must never see them. You can't policy-gate the
+component whose job is to *use* all the secrets, so a full RCE of a proxy
+drains its authorized set regardless. Two moves bound this without
+pretending to prevent it:
+
+1. **Vault as a separate trust domain.** The long-lived *roots* live in a
+   distinct process (ideally its own VM) that the byte-parsing data plane
+   never shares memory with. The proxies request secrets from it; the
+   crown jewels are not in the process an agent-facing parser can pop.
+2. **Derive short-lived, scoped creds where the upstream allows it.** The
+   vault holds the root and mints expiring, narrowly-scoped credentials
+   per bottle-start (or per request) — GitHub App installation tokens,
+   OAuth/STS token exchange, forge deploy tokens. A compromise then leaks
+   short-lived material, not permanent keys. For upstreams stuck on static
+   keys the vault passes the value through (only the at-rest / audit /
+   revocation benefits apply, not lifetime reduction) — this residue is
+   accepted and documented, not solved.
+
+Even a plain per-request fetch (no derivation) still buys **at-rest**
+reduction (process memory holds only in-flight secrets), a **detection /
+rate-limit / revocation chokepoint**, and clean **cross-component
+scoping** (an egress RCE can't request git-gate's creds). It does *not*
+prevent abuse of currently-authorized access during the compromise window.
+
+**Mechanism (see #355):** generalize the existing `DeployKeyProvisioner`
+(PRD 0048) into a user-extensible **`SecretProvider`** droppable into the
+manifest anywhere a raw token value is accepted, discovered from
+`~/.bot-bottle/contrib/<name>/secret_provider.py` exactly as user
+`AgentProvider`s are — because maintaining every forge/cloud/OAuth
+provider in-tree is untenable. The orchestrator's vault mints via these
+providers; but the abstraction is shippable independently and today's
+per-bottle gateways can use it too.
+
+## Design
+
+### The contract (backend-agnostic)
+
+Three surfaces; only one is per-backend.
+
+1. **Control plane (CLI / console → orchestrator)** — an RPC:
+   `launch_bottle`, `teardown_bottle`, `register_policy`,
+   `deregister_bottle`, `supervise_queue`. Fully backend-agnostic. Both the
+   local `cli.py` and the remote console funnel through it, so policy is
+   uniform and `cli.py` becomes a thin client rather than a parallel
+   launcher. **Transport: HTTP** — the most universal/reliable choice on
+   every host (no vsock/unix-socket portability caveats); a local unix
+   socket is a fine optimization, but HTTP is the wire contract.
+2. **Data plane (agent → orchestrator)** — the egress / git / supervise
+   endpoints. Already agnostic today (agents dial `http://gateway:9099`);
+   only the *address* and *how packets get there* are per-backend.
+3. **Launch / wire (orchestrator → backend)** — the irreducibly
+   backend-specific part; lives on `BottleBackend`.
+
+### One `Orchestrator`, no subclass tree
+
+The orchestrator is a **single concrete class** holding all the
+backend-neutral logic — egress addon, git-gate, supervise, source-IP
+attribution, live-reload control plane, console client. It never branches
+on backend; it *composes* a `BottleBackend`. That composition is what makes
+the contract agnostic: there is nothing backend-specific left in the
+orchestrator to leak.
+
+Rejected alternative: an `Orchestrator` ABC with per-backend
+implementations. The interesting logic (proxies, attribution, control
+plane) is backend-neutral, so three subclasses would triplicate the hard
+part; and a second hierarchy paralleling `BottleBackend` reintroduces the
+same hand-maintained lockstep coupling we just removed from the netpool
+constants (PR #350). Composition over a parallel tree.
+
+### `BottleBackend` absorbs the per-backend variation
+
+A small, cohesive surface — reused for launching agent bottles *and* the
+orchestrator's own unit (the orchestrator is just another native unit):
+
+```
+launch_unit(spec) -> Handle      # agent bottle OR the orchestrator itself
+                                 # (fc microVM / apple ctr / docker ctr)
+wire(unit, endpoint) -> None     # DNAT+forward (fc) | attach shared net (docker/apple)
+endpoint_of(unit) -> Endpoint    # address resolution
+health(unit) -> Status
+```
+
+Plus the **launch broker** — the answer to "a VM/container can't spawn its
+own host-network siblings." The orchestrator can't directly open host
+`/dev/kvm` + a host TAP fd (Firecracker), and a container can't spawn
+siblings without a root-equivalent socket (Docker). So every backend
+exposes a broker the orchestrator calls to launch an agent:
+
+- **Firecracker** — a thin, structured host shim (see security #3). This
+  replaces today's implicit "launcher runs as host user."
+- **Docker** — the socket today (fat, root-equivalent — the thing 0069's
+  Stage 3 removes); a narrower broker later.
+- **Apple** — the `container` CLI/daemon.
+
+**Broker request schema:** human-readable JSON of **static flags + ids
+only** (never free-form paths/argv — that's what keeps it un-coercible
+into arbitrary launches), wrapped as a **signed JWT** so the broker
+verifies *provenance*: the request came from the real orchestrator, not a
+forged one from a compromised co-located component. The orchestrator signs;
+the broker verifies with the orchestrator's public key (provisioned at
+broker install). This is the concrete form of security #3's "structured
+requests only." Same JSON-with-ids + JWT shape for all
+orchestrator↔broker/gateway communication; cases that don't fit get
+handled as they arise, with this as the default.
+
+If `BottleBackend` bloats, the pressure valve is composition one level
+down: vend a `backend.network()` / `Wiring` collaborator rather than
+piling methods on — the same discipline, recursed.
+
+### State: one SQLite DB, owned by the orchestrator
+
+The orchestrator is the natural owner of per-host **runtime state**:
+
+- pool **slot leases** (which bottle holds slot *i*) — replaces today's
+  `fcntl`-locked files with SQLite transactions;
+- the **supervise approval queue** + remembered approvals;
+- the **live bottle registry** (source IP → bottle → policy/secrets refs),
+  the lookup table the attribution invariant reads.
+
+This is deliberately **not** a "single source of truth for all config."
+Config splits into three tiers with different homes:
+
+| Tier | Example | Home |
+|---|---|---|
+| Build-time constants | pool size, IP base, nft table | flat `.env` (PR #350) — must be readable by Nix eval + root bash, zero runtime |
+| User-authored config | bottle manifests, egress routes, secret refs | declarative files under `~/.bot-bottle/` — trust boundary at `$HOME`, git-trackable, "unknown keys die at load" |
+| Runtime state | slot leases, approvals, registry | one shared **`bot-bottle.db`**, solely owned by the orchestrator |
+
+SQLite is right for the runtime tier (mutable, concurrent, queried) and
+wrong for the other two (Nix can't read it at eval time; it fights the
+declarative manifest trust model). Keep the tiers separate.
+
+**One shared `bot-bottle.db` for all runtime state** (decided in review).
+The registry co-tenants the existing host `bot-bottle.db` — the `DbStore`
+framework already namespaces each store by `schema_key`, so slot
+leases / approvals / registry share one file. One place to query, back up,
+and integrate a console against.
+
+- **Host-resident, for durability.** Re-adoption sweeps the registry after
+  an orchestrator restart, so state *must* outlive the orchestrator
+  instance. The file lives on the host (`bot_bottle_root()/db/bot-bottle.db`);
+  the orchestrator unit reaches it, it doesn't carry it.
+- **Integrity by sole ownership, not mount permissions.** Agents can't
+  touch the DB directly wherever it lives (network-isolated in their
+  bottles). The risk is a *compromised agent-facing data-plane service*
+  (egress/git-gate, which parse hostile bytes) writing the registry and
+  forging attribution. Because it's now one shared file, coarse `ro`/`rw`
+  mount-splitting no longer isolates the registry — so the rule is stronger
+  and simpler: **only the orchestrator (control plane) opens `bot-bottle.db`;
+  the data plane and the console reach state through the control-plane RPC,
+  never a direct file handle.** No agent-facing component gets the file, so
+  none can forge attribution. (This supersedes the earlier `ro`-mount idea.)
+  - *Transitional caveat:* today the per-bottle **supervise gateway
+    rw-bind-mounts `bot-bottle.db`** to write proposals — exactly the
+    pattern the orchestrator removes (supervise consolidates into the
+    orchestrator; gateway writes become RPC calls). Until that lands, don't
+    put the attribution registry behind a data-plane-writable mount.
+
+Implementation note for the VM slices: SQLite **WAL** over a guest share
+(virtiofs/9p) is finicky (the `-shm`/`-wal` files need real mmap/locking),
+which is a second reason the DB wants a **host-side owner** the orchestrator
+reaches over the RPC rather than a shared mount into the VM. WAL on the
+shared DB is therefore a deliberate, tested future change — not enabled ad
+hoc. `sqlite3` itself is stdlib, so "the host needs SQLite" is a non-cost.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+Jump straight to the **virtualized** end state (not a host-daemon stepping
+stone): a host daemon's agent→`localhost` transport is throwaway once the
+orchestrator becomes a VM. Decouple the two risks instead:
+
+- **Consolidation risk** (one process, all secrets, attribution, reload)
+  and **packaging/transport risk** (VM-to-VM wiring, the shim) are
+  independent. Develop the orchestrator **service as a plain process
+  dev-harness** first, so the consolidation logic (attribution, reload,
+  secret handling) is proven with fast iteration — *then* wrap that exact
+  service in the VM and solve wiring separately.
+
+Backend order (cheapest proof → hardest → last):
+
+1. **Docker orchestrator** — nearly free (the gateway bundle is already
+   containers; collapse N bundles into one persistent container). Proves
+   consolidation + the `BottleBackend` seam with the least moving parts.
+2. **Firecracker orchestrator** — the real work: the shim + VM-to-VM
+   routing (host forwards `bbfcN` → orchestrator TAP; the nft table grows
+   forward rules where today it drops all non-DNAT egress). Built against
+   the dev-harness so the app logic is already proven.
+3. **macOS (Apple container)** — last (container-to-container networking).
+
+Keep the gateway **service one shared thing** throughout.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Removing OCI/Dockerfile support for agent images (0069's concern).
+- A single database for *all* config (see the three-tier table).
+- Changing the per-bottle isolation of agent workloads — only the gateway
+  is consolidated; agents stay one-VM/container-each.
+
+## Relationship to other work
+
+- **PRD 0069 (#348):** 0070 subsumes its Stage 1 (per-host sidecar) and
+  Stage 4 (sidecar-as-VM). 0069 retains Stage 2 (nix-built fixed images —
+  a **dependency** here: the orchestrator and agent base must be
+  nix-built so the broker launches from a fixed image set and bootstrapping
+  has no chicken-and-egg) and Stage 3 (in-VM Dockerfile builder).
+- **Minimal CI runner (paused):** the Firecracker broker + no host Docker
+  is what lets a dedicated `gitea` runner user drop the root-equivalent
+  `docker` group — it only needs broker-socket access + `kvm`/pool group
+  membership. This work unblocks it.
+- **Generic `SecretProvider` (#355):** the future secret-handling
+  mechanism (see "Secret handling") — generalizes PRD 0048's
+  `DeployKeyProvisioner` into a user-extensible provider that mints
+  short-lived creds. Shippable independently; the orchestrator's vault
+  mints through it.
+- **PR #350 (netpool single-source):** the same "one source per fact,
+  composition over parallel hierarchies" discipline the contract follows.
+
+## Decisions (review 2026-07-13)
+
+- **Egress sharing:** **consolidate egress** (worth it). Treat it as a
+  minimal, hardened attack surface for a malicious agent rather than
+  keeping it per-bottle; pair it with the identity token above and the
+  short-lived-vault-token mitigations (Secret handling / #355).
+- **Control-plane transport:** **HTTP** — most universal/reliable on every
+  host; unix socket is an optional local optimization (see the contract).
+- **Broker request schema:** **signed-JWT JSON, static flags + ids only**
+  (see the launch broker) — provenance + un-coercible by construction.
+- **State re-adoption:** the restart procedure is:
+  1. **Singleton:** a new orchestrator launch requires no pre-existing
+     orchestrator; any found (healthy or not) is fully shut down first.
+  2. Re-adoption **waits for the new orchestrator to be healthy**.
+  3. Once healthy, it discovers all agents needing adoption via **both the
+     SQLite registry and live process/VM inspection** *before serving any
+     other request*. The two-source sweep is what closes the *in-flight
+     launch* race — a launch that started (VM booting / slot claimed) but
+     hadn't committed to SQLite when the old orchestrator died would be
+     invisible to a SQLite-only sweep; process inspection catches it.
+     Launches should also write an **intent record ahead of committing
+     resources** so the sweep can reconcile intent vs. actual.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **VM-to-VM routing:** per-backend, and in the design it *is*
+  `BottleBackend.wire()` (DNAT+forward for fc, shared-net for
+  docker/apple), not orchestrator logic. **Not a blocker** — resolvable at
+  implementation time (may require a bit of host modification, as the pool
+  setup already does on NixOS); an earlier "gateways in VMs" spike showed
+  it's feasible.
+- **Live-reload protocol** for per-bottle policy over the HTTP control
+  plane (add/remove routes/keys/proposals without a restart).
+- **Identity-token delivery:** exactly how the per-bottle token is placed
+  where the agent can present it but not swap in another bottle's.
