docs(research): update landscape doc — SuperHQ, multi-backend, multi-provider, in-flight directions

- Broaden scope from "Claude Code in Docker" to "AI coding agents in isolated sandboxes"
- Add SuperHQ (superhq.ai, v0.4.4) as a new adjacent-competitor entry: macOS-only
  microVM desktop app, overlaps on isolation/credential-proxy/multi-provider but has
  no manifest layer and no audit logging
- Note SuperHQ's user-voiced audit gap (Brian Cheong, Dunialabs.io) and that
  bot-bottle already covers it
- Update differentiation list to reflect three backends (Docker, Apple container,
  smolmachines) and three built-in providers (Claude Code, Codex, Pi) plus plugin system
- Add in-flight directions for forge-native dispatch (#317) and paid web control plane
  (#327) with honest framing: lifecycle concept is not novel vs. cloud services (Devin,
  Copilot Workspace); differentiation is self-hosted + manifest-driven + stronger isolation

+# 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 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
+   `test_manifest_bottle_merge.py` for `merge_bottles_runtime`.

+# 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.

+bot-bottle occupies a distinct position: no surveyed project combines all five
+of its defining features. Publishing is likely worthwhile, with the main risk
+being claudebox expanding to absorb the same niche.
+
+**Updated 2026-07-09:** bot-bottle now supports three isolation backends
+(Docker, Apple `container`, smolmachines/libkrun microVMs) and three built-in
+agent providers (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Pi) with an open plugin system for
+arbitrary providers. This meaningfully strengthens the differentiation against
+all surveyed competitors.
 
 ## Closest competitor: claudebox
 
@@ -43,28 +49,78 @@ manifest merge.
   Still marked early-development.
 - **E2B, Northflank, Cloudflare Sandbox SDK** — cloud-hosted SaaS sandbox
   runtimes; fundamentally different architecture.
+- **superhq.ai / SuperHQ** (v0.4.4, April 2026) — macOS desktop app (Rust/GPUI)
+  that runs Claude Code, Codex, and Pi inside microVMs via Apple's
+  Virtualization.framework (their own shuru-sdk / libkrun). Auth gateway
+  injects API keys on the wire so the sandbox never sees them; tmpfs overlay
+  stages agent writes for diff-and-accept review; mobile remote access via
+  remote.superhq.ai. Early alpha, free on launch, Apple Silicon only.
+
+  Overlap: both projects cover agent isolation, credential proxying, and
+  multi-provider support (Claude Code / Codex / Pi). Differences: SuperHQ is a
+  GUI desktop app with no manifest layer; bot-bottle is a CLI fleet manager with
+  named agents, skills injection, per-agent system prompts, and cross-platform
+  backends (Docker, Apple `container`, smolmachines). SuperHQ's microVM
+  isolation story is now partially matched by bot-bottle's `macos_container` and
+  smolmachines backends. Worth watching — it targets the same security-minded
+  power-user audience and moves fast.
+
+  **Known gap in SuperHQ (user-requested, as of 2026-07-09):** A named user
+  (Brian Cheong, Founder, Dunialabs.io) explicitly called out the absence of
+  per-run audit logging: tool calls and network egress. Bot-bottle covers both:
+  network egress is logged by pipelock/mitmproxy, and per-run op-log/audit state
+  is persisted to SQLite.
 
 ## What no found project does
 
 None combine:
-1. Named-agent JSON manifest with per-agent env resolution (prompt / host-forward / literal)
-2. Claude Code skills directory injection
+1. Named-agent manifest with per-agent env resolution (prompt / host-forward / literal), supporting multiple providers (Claude Code, Codex, Pi, arbitrary plugins)

 3. Per-agent system prompts
 4. SSH-agent key forwarding without copying private keys into the container
 5. Home + project manifest merge
+6. Pluggable isolation backends: Docker (Linux/macOS), Apple `container` (macOS microVMs), smolmachines/libkrun microVMs
+7. Per-run audit log: network egress via pipelock/mitmproxy + op-log persisted to SQLite
+
+**In-flight directions (not yet shipped):**
+
+- **Forge-native dispatch (issue #317):** Gitea webhook → orchestrator spins up a bottle
+  with the issue body as prompt → agent works → bottle freezes awaiting review comment →
+  rehydrates on comment → tears down on PR close. The issue-to-PR lifecycle concept is not
+  novel (Devin, Copilot Workspace, SWE-agent all do this as cloud services); what's
+  distinct is doing it self-hosted, manifest-driven, inside bot-bottle's isolation
+  primitives.
+- **Paid web control plane (issue #327):** Browser-based multi-host agent launch and
+  monitoring; account-scoped bottle and agent definitions; secret custody (encrypted at
+  rest, injected into the sidecar at launch, never exposed to the agent or returned by any
+  read API). Monetization model: OSS runtime free, control plane paid — a standard split
+  (HashiCorp, Grafana) applied to a self-hosted agent sandbox. The principled secret
+  custody model (agent never sees real credentials, even via printenv) is more rigorous
+  than most surveyed tools but not unprecedented.

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