fix(sidecar_init): log after spawn in start_all to close SIGTERM race

`start_all()` was logging "starting {name}" before appending the
process to `self.procs`, so a SIGTERM arriving between the log write
and the append would call `request_shutdown()` with the new daemon
absent from `self.procs` and therefore never forwarded SIGTERM.
Moving the log after the append eliminates the window.

Signal handlers are also moved before `sup.start_all()` in `main()` so
they are registered before any child is spawned; previously there was a
window where SIGTERM used the default handler (silent process death) if
it arrived between `start_all()` returning and `signal.signal()`.

`TestMainEndToEnd._run` is updated to use a reader thread and a
`wait_for_output` synchronisation barrier instead of a fixed sleep, so
`test_sigterm_clean_shutdown` does not race against slow CI startup time.

 ## 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`.

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

-"""capability_apply — host-side orchestrator for capability-block
-remediation (PRD 0016).
-
-On approval of a capability-block proposal, the dashboard calls
-apply_capability_change(slug, new_dockerfile) which:
-
-  1. Snapshots the agent's transcript dir to
-     ~/.bot-bottle/state/<slug>/transcript/ (best-effort).
-  2. Pushes the agent's working tree via `git push` (best-effort —
-     no upstream / no commits / no git repo all skip with a log).
-  3. Writes the new Dockerfile to
-     ~/.bot-bottle/state/<slug>/Dockerfile (PRD 0016 Phase 1
-     state). The next `cli.py start <agent>` picks it up.
-  4. Force-removes the agent container + all sidecars + the
-     per-bottle networks. Idempotent — missing resources are not
-     errors.
-
-Returns (before, after) Dockerfile contents so the dashboard can
-record / render the diff. (capability-block has no audit log per
-PRD 0013 — the per-bottle Dockerfile state is its own record.)
-
-This is "fire-and-forget" from the agent's perspective: by the time
-the dashboard writes the response file the supervise sidecar is
-gone, so the agent's tool call connection drops without ever
-receiving the response. The replacement agent (next manual
-`cli.py start`) sees the new Dockerfile and starts from there.

+# 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
+  and their modules read low — accepted, because the *enforced* gates
+  (critical-module standard + diff coverage) are Docker-independent.
+- "We're at N%" is now a curated figure; outsiders should read the
+  policy, not just the badge.
+
+## Links
+
+- PRs #290 (cover the egress adapter), and the coverage-policy PR that
+  introduces this record.
+- `.coveragerc`, `scripts/coverage.sh`, `scripts/diff_coverage.py`.
+- `scripts/critical-modules.txt` — the single source of truth for the
+  core-module list; read by both `scripts/coverage.sh` and the
+  `update-badges.yml` "core coverage" badge so they cannot drift.
+- The README carries a `core coverage` badge (auto-updated from that
+  list) — the headline number, distinct from the informational global
+  `coverage` badge.

+# PRD 0065: Multi-parent `extends:` for bottles
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-06-25
+- **Issue:** #268
+- **Extends:** PRD 0025 (`0025-bottle-extends.md`)
+
+## Summary
+
+Allow a bottle's `extends:` field to accept either a single bottle name (existing
+behavior) or a list of bottle names (new). Multiple parents are resolved
+independently and folded left-to-right into a single effective parent before the
+child is merged on top. This lets orthogonal concerns (base env, networking/egress,
+agent provider) live in separate bottles and be composed without forcing them into a
+linear chain.
+
+## Problem
+
+PRD 0025 shipped single-parent `extends:` and listed "No multi-parent inheritance"
+as a non-goal. In practice, users want to compose multiple orthogonal bottles — a
+base environment, a networking profile, and an agent-provider override — without
+creating a three-level linear chain that couples unrelated parents to each other.
+The linear chain workaround has two problems:
+
+1. **Ordering constraint.** `networking extends base` works, but then
+   `agent extends networking` can't also pick up `base` without going through
+   `networking`, coupling two unrelated concerns.
+
+2. **Quadratic duplication.** N orthogonal bottles require O(N²) chain variants
+   (one chain per permutation of applied concerns).
+
+Multi-parent `extends:` removes both constraints: each orthogonal concern stays in
+its own bottle, and the child bottle is the only place that names the combination.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `extends:` accepts a list of strings in addition to a plain string.
+- Backward compat: existing single-string `extends:` is unchanged.
+- Parents are resolved left-to-right; later entries win on conflict.
+- Child wins over all parents (unchanged from PRD 0025).
+- Cycle detection covers multi-parent graphs, not just linear chains.
+- Diamond inheritance: a shared ancestor is resolved once (via the existing cache).
+- Invalid list entries (non-string, undefined bottle, self-reference) die at parse
+  with clear messages.
+- `manifest_loader.py`'s `load_bottle_chain_from_dir` enqueues all parents from a
+  list `extends:` so the resolver sees every bottle in the graph.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No change to the agent-vs-bottle trust boundary (PRD 0025 "Alternatives
+  considered" option 2 stays rejected).
+- No MRO / C3 linearization. Left-to-right fold is sufficient for the expected use
+  cases.
+- No preflight display of per-field provenance across multiple parents (same open
+  question as PRD 0025; remains a follow-up).
+
+## Design
+
+### Schema
+
+`extends:` now accepts either form:
+
+```yaml
+# single parent (unchanged)
+extends: base
+
+# multiple parents (new)
+extends: [base, networking]
+```
+
+Both forms are normalized to a list internally. A list with one element behaves
+identically to the string form.
+
+### Merge rules for multi-parent fold
+
+Parents are folded pairwise left-to-right before the child merge. For each step in
+the fold, the "earlier" bottle is the running accumulator and the "later" bottle is
+the next parent. Rules per field:
+
+| Field              | Fold rule                                                    |
+|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `env`              | dict merge; later wins on key collision                      |
+| `git-gate.user`    | per-field overlay; later's non-empty fields win              |
+| `git-gate.repos`   | union by name; for same-name entries, later wins per-field   |
+| `egress.routes`    | concatenate (earlier first, later appended)                  |
+| `egress.log`       | later wins (last-wins)                                       |
+| `agent_provider`   | later wins (last-wins)                                       |
+| `supervise`        | later wins (last-wins)                                       |
+
+After the fold, the combined parent is merged against the child using the existing
+PRD 0025 rules (child always wins). The child's `egress.routes` appends to the
+combined parent's concatenated routes; `validate_egress_routes` runs once on the
+final merged set and catches duplicate hosts.
+
+### Algorithm
+
+```
+extends: [p1, p2, p3]
+
+fold:
+  combined = resolve(p1)
+  combined = fold_two(combined, resolve(p2))
+  combined = fold_two(combined, resolve(p3))
+
+merge:
+  result = _merge_bottles(combined, child_raw, name)
+```
+
+`fold_two(earlier, later)` applies the rules in the table above. Cycle detection
+(the `seen` tuple) is passed to each parent resolution call unchanged — if any
+parent's chain circles back to the current bottle, it is caught. The `cache` dict
+ensures a shared ancestor is only resolved once across all parents.
+
+### Error cases
+
+| Condition                              | Error message shape                                              |
+|----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| `extends` is not a string or list      | `extends must be a string or list of strings (was <type>)`       |
+| A list entry is not a string           | `extends[<i>] must be a string (was <type>)`                     |
+| A list entry names an undefined bottle | `extends '<name>' which is not defined. Available bottles: ...`  |
+| A list entry is the bottle itself      | `extends itself; remove the self-reference`                      |
+| Cycle through any parent edge          | `is in an extends cycle: <chain>`                                |
+
+## Implementation
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_extends.py`
+
+- `_resolve_one_bottle`: accept `str | list[str]` for `extends`; normalize to list;
+  validate each entry; for a single-entry list fall through to the existing
+  single-parent path; for multiple entries call `_fold_parents` then
+  `_merge_bottles`.
+- `_fold_parents(parent_names, raws, cache, repos_cache, seen)`: resolve each
+  parent and fold pairwise left-to-right; return `(effective_bottle,
+  effective_repos_raw)`.
+- `_fold_two_bottles(earlier, earlier_repos_raw, later, later_repos_raw)`: apply
+  the fold rules above; return `(folded_bottle, folded_repos_raw)`.
+
+### `bot_bottle/manifest_loader.py`
+
+- `load_bottle_chain_from_dir`: when `extends` is a list, enqueue all parent names
+  for loading (previously only `isinstance(parent, str)` was handled).
+
+### `tests/unit/test_manifest_extends.py`
+
+- `TestExtendsErrors.test_non_string_extends_dies`: update to use an integer
+  `extends` value (a list is now valid).
+- New class `TestExtendsMultiParent` covering all cases listed in the issue.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+Unit tests via `ManifestIndex.from_json_obj` (same resolver surface used by all
+paths). No integration test changes needed — downstream code consumes the already-
+merged bottle and is unchanged.
+
+Test cases:
+- Two-parent list: env union, egress routes concat, git repos union
+- Last-parent-wins on scalar (supervise, agent_provider)
+- Child wins over all parents on conflict
+- Diamond: two parents share an ancestor; ancestor resolved once
+- Single-element list: identical to string form
+- Non-string extends value → ManifestError
+- Non-string list entry → ManifestError
+- Undefined bottle in list → ManifestError
+- Self-reference in list → ManifestError
+- Cycle through multi-parent edge → ManifestError

+# 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
+Filter: _
+─────────────────────────────────────────
+> [*] claude
+  [ ] dev
+  [ ] 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,
+   `test_manifest_agent.py` optional-bottle cases, new

+# 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).

+Add a webhook-driven orchestration layer that lets Gitea issues and PR comments
+drive bot-bottle sessions end-to-end with no operator in the loop for the happy
+path. An issue assigned to a member of the configured agent org and labelled
+with an agent name triggers a headless bottle launch; the bottle processes the
+issue, opens a PR, and interacts with the forge through a **forge sidecar** —
+the agent never touches the Gitea API or its credentials directly. The agent
+calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when a work unit is
+complete; the sidecar relays that to the orchestrator over a queue dir (the same
+pattern as the supervise sidecar), so completion is an unambiguous in-band
+signal rather than a comment the orchestrator has to parse. The orchestrator
+freezes the bottle. Subsequent PR comments rehydrate the frozen bottle. The
+bottle is destroyed when the PR closes.
+
+The forge sidecar is backed by a `Forge` abstract class with per-provider
+implementations (Gitea first), so the agent's prompts and the sidecar protocol
+stay forge-agnostic. The sidecar logs forge operations semantically ("read PR
+description", "posted comment", "signalled done"), giving richer provenance than
+post-hoc egress-byte parsing, and enforces a **read-anywhere / write-scoped**
+permission model: the agent may read for context but may only write to the
+issue and PRs it was assigned.
+
+Run provenance is exposed through a **provenance API** (the sidecar's structured
+operation log plus the run's metadata), not posted back into the forge. We do
+not surface a provenance footer in the PR — the audit record lives behind the
+API where it can be retained and queried, rather than as an editable comment.
+
+The separation of concerns across the two layers: bot-bottle owns the headless
+launch primitives, the forge sidecar + `Forge` abstraction, and forge state.
+`bot-bottle-orchestrator` (separate binary) owns the webhook listener, bottle
+lifecycle loop, and monitoring dashboard; it calls into bot-bottle via
+`./cli.py orchestrate`, a thin wrapper command. This PRD covers bot-bottle's
+side of that contract.
+
+## Problem
+
+Today an operator must open the TUI, select an agent and bottle, confirm the
+preflight, and type prompts interactively. This blocks "issue → PR" automation
+and produces no durable audit record of what the agent did. The security model
+already provides the right isolation and egress controls, and `start --headless`
+(#315) already gives `bot-bottle-orchestrator` a non-interactive launch path.
+The missing pieces are a headless `resume` counterpart for rehydrating frozen
+bottles, a forge-interaction surface the agent uses to read context, post
+comments, and signal completion, and the provenance trail that makes the audit
+story legible to reviewers on every PR.
+
+That forge-interaction surface could be built two ways: (2) give the agent the
+Gitea API directly with cred-proxy injecting the token, or (3) put a forge
+sidecar between the agent and the forge. This PRD takes **option 3**. The
+deciding factors: a sidecar `signal_done` call is an unambiguous completion
+signal where comment-parsing is a correctness risk that surfaces in production;
+the sidecar produces a semantic audit trail rather than HTTP bytes, which is
+load-bearing for provenance (the stated product priority); and the sidecar can
+enforce scope tighter than repo-wide API-key permissions, reducing blast radius
+for a prompt-injected agent. The costs — a second sidecar process per forge run,
+a new failure mode if it crashes, and per-forge implementation cost — are
+accepted as the price of those properties.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+1. Headless launch already exists: `./cli.py start <agent> --headless --prompt`
+   (#315) runs non-interactively with no TUI selectors or y/N preflight. This
+   PRD builds on it rather than re-introducing it. The remaining gap is a
+   matching headless `resume` path (`./cli.py resume --headless`), since
+   rehydrating a frozen bottle for a new prompt is required by the freeze /
+   rehydrate loop and `resume` has no non-interactive entry point today.
+2. An issue assigned to a member of the configured org (`FORGE_ORG`, default
+   `bot-bottle`) and labelled `bot-bottle:<agent-name>` is the trigger
+   convention. Org membership is verified via the Gitea API at event time.
+3. Forge-targeted bottles run a **forge sidecar** that exposes a small,
+   forge-agnostic API (comment/issue/PR CRUD plus `signal_done`) over the same
+   queue-dir + HTTP/JSON-RPC machinery as the supervise sidecar. The agent calls
+   the sidecar; it never sees the forge token or forge-specific endpoints.
+4. The sidecar is backed by a `Forge` abstract class. Gitea is the first
+   concrete implementation; adding a forge means a new subclass, not changes to
+   the agent prompt or sidecar protocol. The sidecar enforces a read-anywhere /
+   write-scoped model: writes are limited to the assigned issue and its PRs;
+   reads are unrestricted for context.
+5. The agent calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when a work
+   unit is complete; the sidecar relays it to the orchestrator over a queue dir.
+   This is the done signal — no comment parsing. A watchdog timeout
+   (configurable, default 30 min) causes the orchestrator to treat the run as
+   done-without-self-report if the agent exits without signalling.
+6. Run provenance (agent name, bottle name(s), slug, timing, exit code,
+   gitleaks result, egress summary, and the sidecar's semantic operation log)
+   is available through a provenance API. It is **not** surfaced as a PR footer
+   or any other forge comment.
+7. Forge state (issue → slug, status) is persisted in a local SQLite database
+   under `~/.bot-bottle/` and survives orchestrator restarts.
+8. `./cli.py orchestrate status` lists active forge-managed bottles and their
+   issue/PR URLs.
+9. Unit tests cover: label parsing, org-membership check path, forge state
+   store CRUD (SQLite), headless launch arg construction, forge env var
+   injection, sidecar request dispatch through the `Forge` abstraction,
+   write-scope enforcement (reject writes outside the assigned issue/PRs), and
+   `signal_done` queue relay.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Webhook signature verification (HMAC-SHA256). Added as a follow-up.
+- The `bot-bottle-orchestrator` binary itself — this PRD covers bot-bottle's
+  side of the interface only. The orchestrator is a separate project.
+- GitHub or GitLab support.
+- Multiple simultaneous forge bottles per issue.
+- Automatic retry on agent error exit.
+- Bottle destruction on issue close (PR close only; issue close is ambiguous).
+- Concurrent multi-issue handling (one blocking run per orchestrator process).
+- A monitoring dashboard (orchestrator-side concern).
+- Folding `DeployKeyProvisioner` into the `Forge` abstraction. Deploy-key
+  provisioning runs at bottle-provision time on the host; the forge sidecar runs
+  inside the bottle at agent time. The two have different lifecycles and actors,
+  so coupling them into one class is deferred to a follow-up. This PRD only
+  shares the Gitea HTTP client between them.
+
+## Design
+
+### Targeting convention
+
+An issue is forge-targeted when **both** hold:
+
+- At least one assignee is a member of the Gitea org named by `FORGE_ORG`
+  (default `bot-bottle`). Checked via `GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/members/{user}`.
+- At least one label has the prefix `bot-bottle:`. The suffix names the agent
+  manifest, e.g. `bot-bottle:implementer` → agent `implementer`.
+
+`FORGE_ORG` is read at orchestrate-command startup. It is not embedded in
+manifests or state files; the orchestrator stamps its value into log output for
+auditability.
+
+An optional label `bot-bottle-bottle:<name>` overrides bottle selection. When
+absent the agent's default bottle is used.
+
+### `./cli.py orchestrate` — the thin wrapper
+
+```
+./cli.py orchestrate start  --agent AGENT [--bottle BOTTLE ...] --prompt PROMPT
+                            [--label LABEL] [--backend BACKEND]
+./cli.py orchestrate resume --slug SLUG --prompt PROMPT [--backend BACKEND]
+./cli.py orchestrate status
+```
+
+`orchestrate start` is a thin shim over the already-shipped `start --headless`
+(#315): it forwards agent / bottle / label / prompt and adds the forge-specific
+wiring (`forge_env`, sidecar launch). It does not re-implement headless launch.
+The caller (`bot-bottle-orchestrator`) manages freeze, state, and the forge
+sidecar's done signal around it.
+
+`orchestrate resume` is the shim over the new `resume --headless` (below).
+
+`orchestrate status` prints the forge state table.
+
+### Headless primitives — what exists vs. what's new
+
+Headless **start** already shipped in #315 and this PRD reuses it as-is:
+
+- `./cli.py start <agent> --headless --prompt TEXT` — no TUI selectors, no y/N
+  preflight. Internally `_start_headless()` calls the shared `_launch_bottle()`
+  with `assume_yes=True` and `headless_prompt_text=prompt`.
+- The prompt is delivered through `AgentProvider.headless_prompt(prompt)` —
+  claude `-p`, codex positional, pi `-p`. The orchestrator does **not** hand-roll
+  agent args; it relies on this provider abstraction. (An earlier draft proposed
+  `start_headless` / `attach_agent_headless` helpers that constructed
+  `--no-interactive`/`-p` directly — those are dropped as redundant with, and
+  divergent from, what #315 merged.)
+
+Two additions are needed on top of #315:
+
+**1. A `forge_env` hook on the headless launch path.** The orchestrator needs to
+pass forge context + token through to the forge sidecar launched alongside the
+agent. This is a parameter threaded into `_launch_bottle` (the same core
+`start --headless` already uses), not a parallel launch function. The agent
+process itself does not receive the token.
+
+**2. `resume --headless`** — new in `bot_bottle/cli/resume.py`, mirroring the
+`--headless` flag on `start`:
+
+```
+./cli.py resume <slug> --headless --prompt TEXT
+```
+
+It rehydrates a frozen bottle and runs one headless prompt via the same
+`assume_yes` + `headless_prompt` path, returning the agent's exit code. `resume`
+has no non-interactive entry point today, so this is genuinely new work rather
+than a rename of an existing helper.
+
+### Forge sidecar
+
+Forge-targeted bottles run a forge sidecar alongside the agent, mirroring the
+supervise sidecar: a per-bottle process that exposes an HTTP/JSON-RPC endpoint
+over a Unix socket and relays events to the orchestrator through a queue dir.
+The agent calls the sidecar; the sidecar holds the forge token and makes the
+actual forge API calls. The agent never receives the credential and never sees a
+forge-specific endpoint — swapping Gitea for another forge does not change the
+agent prompt or the sidecar protocol.
+
+The sidecar is configured at launch from the forge context (owner, repo, issue,
+PR) and the token, supplied by the orchestrator — not baked into the agent
+manifest. Because the sidecar owns the token, forge traffic does not need a
+cred-proxy egress route on the agent; the agent's egress policy is unchanged by
+forge targeting.
+
+**Sidecar protocol** (forge-agnostic; each method maps to a `Forge` call):
+
+| Method | Scope | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `read_issue(number)` | read-anywhere | Read an issue body for context |
+| `read_pr(number)` | read-anywhere | Read a PR (incl. merge state) for context |
+| `read_comments(number)` | read-anywhere | Read a thread for context |
+| `post_comment(number, body)` | write-scoped | Post to the assigned issue/PR |
+| `update_description(number, body)` | write-scoped | Edit the assigned issue/PR body |
+| `signal_done(status, summary)` | — | Relay completion to the orchestrator |
+
+Issues and PRs are distinct domain objects (`Issue` vs `PullRequest`) read
+through distinct methods; a PR carries merge state an issue does not.
+
+**Scope enforcement** is read-anywhere / write-scoped: read methods accept any
+issue/PR number for context; write methods are rejected unless the target is the
+assigned issue or one of its PRs. This is tighter than Gitea's repo-wide API-key
+permissions and bounds the blast radius of a prompt-injected agent. Rejections
+are logged semantically (operation, target, reason) so the audit trail records
+attempted out-of-scope writes, not just allowed ones.
+
+**Semantic audit**: every sidecar call is logged as a structured operation
+("read PR #318 description", "posted comment to #317", "signalled done:
+success") rather than as opaque HTTP bytes. This log feeds provenance directly,
+with no post-hoc egress-log parsing.
+
+### `Forge` abstraction — `bot_bottle/contrib/forge/`
+
+The sidecar dispatches to a `Forge` abstract class. Each provider implements the
+operations behind the sidecar protocol:
+
+```python
+class Forge(abc.ABC):
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def read_issue(self, number: int) -> Issue: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def read_pr(self, number: int) -> PullRequest: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def read_comments(self, number: int) -> list[Comment]: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def post_comment(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def update_description(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def is_org_member(self, org: str, username: str) -> bool: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def get_pr_for_issue(self, number: int) -> int | None: ...
+    @abc.abstractmethod
+    def is_pr_open(self, number: int) -> bool: ...
+```
+
+`Issue` and `PullRequest` are separate frozen dataclasses — a PR adds `merged`.
+`ScopedForge` wraps a concrete `Forge` to enforce the read-anywhere /
+write-scoped model (`post_comment` / `update_description` raise `ForgeScopeError`
+outside the assigned issue and PRs).
+
+`GiteaForge` is the first and only concrete implementation in this PRD. It wraps
+the Gitea HTTP client (below). Adding GitHub or GitLab later is a new subclass;
+the sidecar, protocol, and agent prompt are untouched.
+
+> **Deferred:** `DeployKeyProvisioner` is *not* folded into `Forge` here.
+> Deploy-key provisioning runs on the host at provision time; the sidecar runs
+> in the bottle at agent time. They have different lifecycles and actors, so a
+> shared abstract base would couple two unrelated auth contexts. For now they
+> only share the Gitea HTTP client; a later PRD can revisit unification.
+
+### Forge env vars
+
+The orchestrator passes forge context to the **sidecar** (not the agent) at
+launch. The agent does not need owner/repo/issue env vars to construct API
+calls, since it only names issue/PR numbers to the sidecar:
+
+| Var | Example | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `FORGE_GITEA_API` | `https://gitea.dideric.is/api/v1` | Base URL the sidecar calls |
+| `FORGE_OWNER` | `didericis` | Repo owner |
+| `FORGE_REPO` | `bot-bottle` | Repo name |
+| `FORGE_ISSUE_NUMBER` | `317` | Assigned issue (defines write scope) |
+| `FORGE_PR_NUMBER` | `318` | Assigned PR (empty until PR exists) |
+
+The agent's forge-specific prompt instructs it to call `signal_done` on the
+sidecar when a work unit is complete, and to use the sidecar for any
+comment/description writes. The instruction is forge-agnostic and is part of the
+forge prompt overlay, not the base agent manifest, so non-forge runs are
+unaffected.
+
+### Done signal and watchdog
+
+The agent calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when it finishes a
+work unit. The sidecar writes the event to its queue dir; the orchestrator reads
+it and:
+
+1. Reads the forge state for `(owner, repo, issue_number)`.
+2. If `status == "running"`, treats the event as the done signal: freezes the
+   bottle and sets `status = "frozen"`. Provenance is recorded via the
+   provenance API — no comment is posted to the forge.
+
+Because completion is an explicit `signal_done` call, the orchestrator does not
+parse comment text to detect "done", and intermediate comments the agent posts
+mid-run cannot be mistaken for completion.
+
+**Watchdog**: the orchestrator tracks `last_checkin_at` in forge state, updated
+on each sidecar event. A background thread wakes every minute. If
+`now - last_checkin_at > FORGE_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` (default 30 min, configurable
+via env) and `status == "running"`, the orchestrator treats the run as
+done-without-self-report and freezes the bottle, flagging the run as incomplete
+in the provenance record.
+
+**Sidecar-death failure mode**: if the forge sidecar crashes mid-run the agent
+loses forge access while the bottle is otherwise healthy. The orchestrator
+detects a dead sidecar (socket/queue gone) the same way it detects a stalled
+agent and falls back to the watchdog path.
+
+### Forge state — `bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/forge_state.py`
+
+State is stored in a local SQLite database at `~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db`.
+Access goes through a thin CRUD interface, `ForgeStateStore`, so the storage
+location/engine can be swapped without touching callers. `SqliteForgeStateStore`
+is the first implementation.
+
+The `forge_state` table is keyed by `(owner, repo, issue_number)` and carries:
+`slug`, `agent_name`, `bottle_names` (JSON), `backend_name`, `agent_git_user`,
+`pr_number` (nullable), `status`, `last_checkin_at`.
+
+`status`: `"running"` | `"frozen"` | `"destroyed"`.
+
+Store interface:
+
+```python
+class ForgeStateStore(abc.ABC):
+    def upsert(self, state: ForgeState) -> None: ...
+    def get(self, owner: str, repo: str, issue_number: int) -> ForgeState | None: ...
+    def delete(self, owner: str, repo: str, issue_number: int) -> None: ...
+    def all(self) -> list[ForgeState]: ...
+
+class SqliteForgeStateStore(ForgeStateStore):
+    def __init__(self, db_path: Path | None = None) -> None: ...
+```
+
+`upsert` uses `INSERT OR REPLACE` so a re-run for the same issue overwrites in
+place. The schema is created on first open.
+
+### Provenance API
+
+Run provenance — agent, bottle(s), slug, timing, exit code, gitleaks result,
+egress summary, watchdog-fired flag, and the sidecar's semantic operation log —
+is exposed through a **provenance API**, not posted into the forge. There is no
+provenance footer or run-summary comment.
+
+The rationale (per the monetization positioning): a PR comment is mutable by any
+maintainer, unsigned, and per-PR, so it is worthless as an audit record and
+invites false trust. The authoritative record therefore lives behind the API,
+where it can be retained, queried, and (eventually) signed. Whether any
+projection of it ever appears in the forge is a separate, out-of-scope decision;
+this PR does not build one.
+
+The API surface itself (schema, transport, signing, retention) is **out of scope
+for this PRD** and belongs with the orchestrator / control-plane work. bot-bottle
+here only produces the raw material: the sidecar's semantic operation log and the
+run metadata the orchestrator collects.
+
+### Gitea HTTP client — `bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/client.py`
+
+`GiteaForge` (and the existing `GiteaDeployKeyProvisioner`) share one thin HTTP
+client. Unlike the option-2 design, the token is held by the sidecar process and
+passed to the client directly — there is no agent-side cred-proxy route to
+inject it, because the agent never makes forge calls.
+
+```python
+class GiteaClient:
+    def __init__(self, *, api_url: str, owner: str, repo: str, token: str) -> None: ...
+    def is_org_member(self, org: str, username: str) -> bool: ...
+    def get_issue(self, number: int) -> dict: ...
+    def get_comments(self, number: int) -> list[dict]: ...
+    def post_comment(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
+    def patch_issue_body(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
+    def get_pull(self, number: int) -> dict: ...
+```
+
+`GiteaForge` adapts this client to the `Forge` surface (mapping raw JSON to
+`Issue` / `PullRequest` / `Comment`). Sharing only the HTTP client (not an
+abstract base) is the deliberate boundary between the sidecar and the deploy-key
+provisioner — see the deferral note under the `Forge` abstraction.
+
+### Implementation chunks
+
+1. **Headless additions on top of #315** — thread a `forge_env` parameter into
+   the existing `_launch_bottle` core (the one `start --headless` already uses);
+   add a `--headless` path to `cli/resume.py` reusing `assume_yes` +
+   `headless_prompt`. No new `start_headless`/`attach_agent_headless` helpers.
+   Tests: `forge_env` reaches the sidecar/`guest_env`; `resume --headless` skips
+   the TUI and y/N preflight and returns the agent exit code.
+
+2. **Forge state** — `contrib/gitea/forge_state.py`: `ForgeState` dataclass,
+   `ForgeStateStore` CRUD interface, `SqliteForgeStateStore`. Tests: round-trip,
+   missing → None, `INSERT OR REPLACE` upsert, delete idempotent, `all()`
+   ordering, persistence across store instances.
+
+3. **`Forge` abstraction + Gitea client** — `contrib/forge/base.py` (`Forge`
+   ABC, `ScopedForge`, `Issue` / `PullRequest` / `Comment`) and
+   `contrib/gitea/client.py` + `GiteaForge`: `is_org_member`, `read_issue`,
+   `read_pr`, `read_comments`, `post_comment`, `update_description`,
+   `get_pr_for_issue`, `is_pr_open`. Tests: mock `urllib.request.urlopen`,
+   assert payloads and 404-as-false for membership; `ScopedForge` write-scope
+   enforcement.
+
+4. **Forge sidecar** — sidecar process exposing the protocol over a Unix socket,
+   queue-dir relay, write-scope enforcement, semantic op log, `signal_done`.
+   Reuses the supervise sidecar bundle machinery. Tests: dispatch each method to
+   the `Forge`, reject out-of-scope writes, `signal_done` writes a queue event,
+   scope-rejection is logged.
+
+5. **`./cli.py orchestrate`** — `cli/orchestrate.py` with `start`, `resume`,
+   `status` subcommands wired into `cli.py`; `start` launches the forge sidecar
+   alongside the agent for forge-targeted runs. Tests: arg parsing, `start`
+   delegates to `start --headless`, `resume` delegates to `resume --headless`.
+
+## Provenance
+
+Run provenance is captured (sidecar semantic operation log + run metadata) and
+exposed through a provenance API. It is deliberately **not** surfaced in the
+forge — no footer, no run-summary comment. A mutable, unsigned PR comment is not
+an audit record; the authoritative record lives behind the API where it can be
+retained and signed. The `watchdog_fired` flag marks runs where the agent did
+not self-report completion so consumers of the API know the record may be
+incomplete.
+
+The provenance API's schema, transport, signing, and retention are out of scope
+for this PRD (control-plane work); bot-bottle here produces the raw material
+only.
