fix(security): harden git_gate.py shell rendering with shlex.quote and name validation

Use shlex.quote() on name and upstream_url in git_gate_render_entrypoint()
so special characters (single quotes, spaces, semicolons) cannot break or
inject into the generated sh script.

Add _GIT_NAME_RE validation in GitEntry.from_repos_entry() to restrict
repo names to [A-Za-z0-9._-]+, making the manifest the first line of
defence and shlex.quote() the belt-and-suspenders backstop.

Closes #155

+  short-description: Score code quality with a strict rubric
+---
+
+# Quality Eval
+
+## Role
+
+Act as a Staff Software Engineer and automated quality gate. Evaluate code objectively against the rubric below, surface hidden anti-patterns, and provide a mathematical grade with atomic refactoring steps.
+
+## Evaluation Rules
+
+- Evaluate only against the five rubric dimensions.
+- Be candid. Do not inflate scores for politeness.
+- Avoid generic advice. Every recommendation must name a specific code location, behavior, or pattern and include a concrete improvement direction.
+- Inspect the code before scoring. For codebases, read enough representative files, tests, and architecture boundaries to justify the scope.
+- When exact line numbers are available, cite them.
+- Do not reveal private chain-of-thought. In the required `Chain of Thought Analysis` section, provide a concise, step-by-step audit rationale with observable findings and score justifications.
+
+## Rubric
+
+Score each dimension from 1 to 5 using these anchors:
+
+| Dimension | Score 1 (Fail) | Score 3 (Pass) | Score 5 (Exemplary) |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Architecture** | Spaghettified; tight coupling; violated separation of concerns. | Modular but relies on leaky abstractions or mixed domains. | Strict domain isolation; follows SOLID; clear dependency inversion. |
+| **Readability** | Cryptic naming; deep nesting (>3 levels); widespread DRY violations. | Idiomatic but features over-complex functions or sparse documentation. | Self-documenting; expressive naming; high cohesion; flat structure. |
+| **Resilience** | Swallows errors blindly; lacks contextual logging; fragile to bad input. | Basic try/catch blocks present but lacks granular, typed error handling. | Explicit error boundaries; contextual logging; structured failure modes. |
+| **Testability** | Hardcoded dependencies make mocking or isolated testing impossible. | Pure functions are testable, but side-effect heavy logic lacks test hooks. | Decoupled IO; deterministic execution; structured for unit and integration tests. |
+| **SecOps** | Hardcoded secrets; O(n^2) bottlenecks; zero input sanitization. | Safe from obvious flaws but lacks deep defensive optimization. | Validated inputs; optimized algorithmic complexity; zero security debt. |
+
+## Scoring Method
+
+1. Determine the evaluated scope and primary language.
+2. Identify concrete evidence for each dimension.
+3. Assign integer dimension scores from 1 to 5.
+4. Compute `composite_score` as the arithmetic mean of the five dimension scores, rounded to one decimal place.
+5. Include code snippets only when they make a refactoring step more actionable.
+
+## Required Output
+
+Structure every response into exactly these three Markdown sections:
+
+### 1. Chain of Thought Analysis
+
+Provide a concise step-by-step audit rationale. Name specific files, functions, patterns, anti-patterns, and rubric anchors. Keep it evidence-based and do not include hidden private reasoning.
+
+### 2. Normalized Score Report
+
+```json
+{
+  "evaluation_metadata": {
+    "target_scope": "string",
+    "primary_language": "string"
+  },
+  "metrics": {
+    "architecture_and_modularity": 0,
+    "readability_and_maintainability": 0,
+    "error_handling_and_resilience": 0,
+    "testability_and_mocking": 0,
+    "security_and_performance": 0
+  },
+  "composite_score": 0.0
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Atomic Refactoring Playbook
+
+* **High Priority (To lift Score 1/2 to 3):**
+  - [ ] Actionable, specific refactoring step with file/line/context reference.
+* **Medium Priority (To lift Score 3 to 4/5):**
+  - [ ] Optimization or architectural pattern implementation step.

-- Product requirement docs live in `docs/prds/`.
-- Research notes live in `docs/research/`.
+- Three kinds of doc, each with its own conventions in-folder; see
+  `docs/README.md` for when to write which:
+  - **PRDs** (`docs/prds/`) — one feature per file, numbered
+    `NNNN-kebab.md`. A `Status:` line tracks lifecycle: Draft → Active
+    (shipped to `main`) → Superseded/Retargeted. Format in

+  - **Research notes** (`docs/research/`) — opinionated investigations;

+  - **Decision records** (`docs/decisions/`) — ADR-lite, numbered
+    `NNNN-kebab.md`, for policies and non-feature decisions. See
+    `docs/decisions/README.md`.
+- Keep decision rationale self-contained in the repo, not in Gitea
+  issue threads. Issues are an ephemeral inbox; the durable "why" lives
+  in a PRD, research note, or decision record.
 - Low dependencies by default. The project is Python, stdlib-first (no

   runtime is the Python 3.13 used by the CLI + sidecars). Ask before

+For a Codex-backed base bottle, set `agent_provider.template: codex`.
+The Codex template expects ChatGPT/device login state instead of an
+`OPENAI_API_KEY` env var; no API-key placeholder is forwarded into the
+agent. To let bot-bottle read the host's current Codex ChatGPT access
+token and inject it from egress only for Codex's API calls, opt in
+explicitly:
+
+```yaml
+agent_provider:
+  template: codex
+  forward_host_credentials: true
+
+egress:
+  routes:
+    - host: auth.openai.com
+      path_allowlist:
+        - /api/accounts/deviceauth/
+```
+
+Run `codex login --device-auth` on the host before launch. The
+launcher reads `tokens.access_token` from the host's
+`~/.codex/auth.json`, verifies it is fresh user/device auth, and passes
+it to the sidecar's `EGRESS_TOKEN_N` env slot. The agent container gets
+a dummy `~/.codex/auth.json` that preserves the host auth-mode shape
+but replaces credential values with placeholders. It keeps the selected
+ChatGPT account id so Codex sends requests for the same account while
+egress owns the real bearer token. The agent never receives real access
+tokens, refresh tokens, or `OPENAI_API_KEY`. The effective egress table
+automatically adds or upgrades `api.openai.com` and `chatgpt.com` to
+authenticated routes when `forward_host_credentials` is true.
+
+The built-in Codex template uses `Dockerfile.codex`; set
+`agent_provider.dockerfile` to build the agent from a custom Dockerfile

+# ADR 0003: Keep agent system prompts user-directed, not auto-generated from config
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-05-29
+- **Deciders:** didericis
+
+## Context
+
+A bottle already declares exactly what an agent can reach: egress routes
+(allowlisted hosts + auth) and git config (remotes + identity). We
+considered deriving an agent's system prompt — or a section of it —
+automatically from those configs, so an agent would be told up front
+what it has access to (e.g. "you can reach `gitea.dideric.is` over the
+git remote and its API"). The question surfaced while hand-writing that
+exact line into the `claude-implementer` prompt.
+
+## Decision
+
+System prompts stay **user-directed** — authored by the operator. We do
+not auto-generate prompt content from a bottle's egress / git config.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- The operator controls what the agent is *told* about its environment,
+  independently of what the bottle *grants*. Sometimes we may want to
+  withhold that information from the agent directly — keep the prompt
+  silent about an allowlisted host even though egress permits it.
+- The agent can still infer its access on its own (attempt a request,
+  read its env, `git remote -v`, the gitconfig), so auto-injection is a
+  convenience, not a capability the agent depends on.
+- Cost accepted: operators must restate access in the prompt when they
+  want the agent to know it (as we did for the Gitea instance), and the
+  prompt can drift from the config. That decoupling of "what the bottle
+  grants" from "what the agent is told" is the point.
+- Revisit if keeping prompts in sync with configs becomes a real pain.
+  An *opt-in* helper that emits a capability summary the operator
+  chooses to include would honor this decision; silent auto-injection
+  would not.

+# PRD 0028: git-gate new-branch push scan scope
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-claude
+- **Created:** 2026-05-29
+- **Issue:** #106
+
+## Summary
+
+git-gate's pre-receive hook scans the **entire ancestry** of a *new*
+branch for secrets, so any pre-existing finding in repo history blocks
+every new-branch push. Scope the scan to the commits a push actually
+introduces (`$new --not --all`) so a push is gated on what *it* adds,
+not on what's already on the gate/upstream. Also harden the forward
+`ssh` against hangs. Net: new branches can be pushed through the gate
+again, with no loss of leak-detection coverage.
+
+## Problem
+
+In `git_gate_render_hook()` (`bot_bottle/git_gate.py`) the pre-receive
+hook chooses the gitleaks revision range per ref:
+
+```sh
+if [ "$old" = "$zero" ]; then
+  log_opts="$new"          # new branch: `git log <new>` = the FULL ancestry
+else
+  log_opts="$old..$new"    # existing branch: just the pushed delta
+fi
+gitleaks git --log-opts="$log_opts" ...   # exit 1 if ANY finding in range
+```
+
+For a **new** ref there is no `old` to diff against, so the hook passes
+`$new`, which `git log` expands to every commit reachable from the new
+tip. This repo's history contains 11 deliberately secret-shaped strings
+(demo manifests, `docs/demo.tape`, and the pipelock/sandbox-escape
+integration tests that exist *to exercise* the DLP). gitleaks reports
+`438 commits scanned … leaks found: 11`, the hook `exit 1`s, and the
+push is rejected. Confirmed live against issue #106's bottle: the
+branch never lands in the bare repo and is never forwarded.
+
+Consequence: **no new branch can ever be pushed through git-gate** as
+long as a single historical finding exists — which is permanent.
+
+Two adjacent problems surfaced while diagnosing #106:
+
+- The rejection is **invisible to the client** — over the `git://` +
+  smolmachines forward it presented as a ~75s silent hang, not a
+  `remote: git-gate: gitleaks rejected …` message.
+- The forward `ssh` lacks `BatchMode`/`ConnectTimeout`, so an
+  unreachable upstream or a prompt would hang the hook indefinitely.
+  (Not the cause of #106 — the forward itself works — but a latent
+  hang risk.)
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- A new-branch push is scanned **only for the commits it introduces**
+  (reachable from `$new`, not from any ref the gate already has).
+- A new branch that adds no new findings **pushes successfully**, even
+  though historical fixtures still trip a full-history scan.
+- A new branch that *does* introduce a finding is **still rejected**.
+- No reduction in leak coverage for the commits a push actually brings
+  to the upstream (see "Security analysis").
+- Forward `ssh` fails fast (`BatchMode=yes` + `ConnectTimeout`) instead
+  of hanging on a prompt/unreachable upstream.
+- Existing git-gate unit + integration tests stay green; new tests lock
+  the scoped-scan behaviour.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- **Scrubbing the historical fixture findings.** They're intentional
+  test/demo inputs; scoping the scan resolves the practical problem
+  without rewriting history.
+- **Relaxing the existing-branch path.** `$old..$new` already scans the
+  delta; this PRD only fixes the new-ref branch (and optionally unifies
+  on `--not --all`, see Open questions).
+- **The client-visibility fix is investigation-gated.** Surfacing the
+  rejection over the `git://` + smolmachines path may need separate work
+  (sideband relay); tracked here but may land as a follow-up rather than
+  block the scan-scope fix.
+
+## Design
+
+### Scoped scan
+
+Replace the new-ref range with one that excludes everything the gate
+already knows:
+
+```sh
+if [ "$new" = "$zero" ]; then
+  continue                      # deletion: nothing to scan (unchanged)
+elif [ "$old" = "$zero" ]; then
+  log_opts="$new --not --all"   # new branch: only commits new to the gate
+else
+  log_opts="$old..$new"         # existing branch: the pushed delta
+fi
+```
+
+`git log $new --not --all` = commits reachable from the pushed tip but
+**not** reachable from any ref already in the gate's bare repo.
+
+### Security analysis (why excluding "already-on-the-gate" is safe)
+
+Commits enter the gate's bare repo by exactly two paths:
+
+1. **mirror-fetch from the upstream** — the bare repo is
+   `remote add --mirror=fetch origin`, and the access-hook fetches the
+   upstream before every upload-pack; and
+2. **a push through the gate** — which is gitleaks-scanned before it is
+   forwarded.
+
+Therefore every commit reachable from a gate ref is *already on the
+upstream* or *was already scanned when pushed*. A commit excluded by
+`--not --all` cannot be a new secret arriving at the upstream via this
+push:
+
+- if it's already upstream, re-scanning changes nothing — the content is
+  already there and blocking this branch wouldn't remove it; and
+- if it arrived via an earlier push, it was already scanned.
+
+The only commits that can carry a *new* secret upstream are the ones the
+push introduces — exactly the set `$new --not --all` scans. An agent
+cannot pre-seed a secret commit as "already known" to dodge the scan: it
+can't write refs into the bare repo except by pushing (which scans), and
+the mirror refs come only from the trusted upstream.
+
+**Invariant this relies on:** the bare repo's refs are populated *only*
+by upstream mirror-fetch and gitleaks-gated pushes. That holds in the
+current design (nothing writes refs out-of-band); revisit if that
+changes.
+
+### Forward ssh hardening
+
+Add `-o BatchMode=yes -o ConnectTimeout=<n>` to the hook's `ssh_cmd` so
+a prompt or unreachable upstream fails fast with a clear error instead
+of hanging the receive-pack.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **PRD (this commit).**
+2. **Hook scan scope + ssh hardening.** Edit `git_gate_render_hook()`:
+   the new-ref range → `$new --not --all`; add `BatchMode`/`ConnectTimeout`
+   to `ssh_cmd`. Unit tests in `test_git_gate.py` asserting the rendered
+   hook uses the scoped range for new refs and the hardened ssh flags.
+3. **Integration coverage.** A new-branch push carrying no new finding
+   succeeds through a gate whose history contains a fixture finding; a
+   new-branch push that introduces a finding is still rejected.
+4. **(Optional / follow-up) client visibility.** Make a gitleaks/forward
+   rejection reach the client as a `remote:` error over the git:// +
+   smolmachines path.
+
+## Testing strategy
+
+- **Unit (must):** rendered-hook assertions — new-ref uses
+  `$new --not --all`, existing-ref still `$old..$new`, deletion still
+  skipped; ssh_cmd carries `BatchMode=yes` + a `ConnectTimeout`.
+- **Integration (should):** against a real gate seeded with a
+  fixture-bearing history, a clean new branch forwards to the upstream;
+  a new branch with a planted secret is rejected. Skips cleanly on hosts
+  that can't run the bundle (same shape as the existing git-gate
+  integration test).
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Unify both branches on `--not --all`?** It's also more robust than
+  `$old..$new` for non-fast-forward/force pushes (which can skip commits
+  off the direct path). Tempting to use it for the existing-ref case
+  too; deferred to keep this change tight, but worth a follow-up.
+- **Client visibility mechanism.** Whether the silent-hang is a git
+  daemon sideband-relay issue or specific to the smolmachines forward
+  needs a focused repro before committing to a fix.

+# PRD 0029: Provider auth credentials through egress
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-05-29
+- **Issue:** #109
+
+## Summary
+
+Allow provider bottles to inject host credentials into the egress
+sidecar without exposing them to the agent. Codex uses
+`agent_provider.forward_host_credentials` for ChatGPT/device-login
+access tokens. Claude uses `agent_provider.auth_token` to name the host
+env var holding its OAuth token, which egress injects on
+`api.anthropic.com` requests.
+
+## Problem
+
+Codex bottles can reach OpenAI hosts after they are added to egress, but
+requests to Codex's ChatGPT-backed API endpoints still fail with HTTP
+403 when the egress route is unauthenticated. The egress proxy strips
+agent-originated `Authorization` headers and only re-injects auth for
+routes that declare an egress-owned token. Bare `api.openai.com` or
+`chatgpt.com` routes therefore forward Codex requests without the
+ChatGPT bearer token.
+
+Copying the host `~/.codex/auth.json` into the agent would solve auth
+mode detection but would also put access and refresh material inside the
+agent sandbox. That cuts against bot-bottle's credential minimization
+model: provider credentials should live in the sidecar boundary when
+possible, not in the agent.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- A Codex bottle with host ChatGPT auth can call Codex's
+  `api.openai.com` and `chatgpt.com` endpoints through egress.
+- Host credential forwarding happens only when the bottle declares
+  `agent_provider.forward_host_credentials: true`.
+- The agent container does not receive `OPENAI_API_KEY`,
+  `CODEX_ACCESS_TOKEN`, or real `tokens.access_token` /
+  `tokens.refresh_token` values.
+- The agent container receives only a dummy Codex `auth.json` that
+  preserves the host auth-mode shape, keeps the selected ChatGPT
+  account id, and replaces credential values with placeholders.
+- Egress route files remain non-secret: they contain only host/path/auth
+  slot metadata, never token values.
+- Missing, API-key, malformed, or expired host Codex auth fails
+  launch with a clear operator-facing message.
+- Existing Claude OAuth placeholder behavior remains unchanged.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Refreshing Codex tokens in the sidecar. The first cut reads the host's
+  current access token at launch; operators can restart after host Codex
+  refreshes auth.
+- Copying host `~/.codex/auth.json` credentials into the agent.
+- Allowing arbitrary host credential forwarding beyond the two providers
+  covered here (Codex ChatGPT/device-login and Claude OAuth).
+- Hot-applying new authenticated Codex routes to an existing running
+  sidecar. The current hot-apply path cannot safely populate new token
+  env slots in an already-running container.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+- Add `agent_provider.forward_host_credentials` to the bottle manifest
+  schema, defaulting to `false`.
+- Support the flag for `agent_provider.template: codex`.
+- Add `agent_provider.auth_token` to the bottle manifest schema.
+- Support the field for `agent_provider.template: claude`: the named
+  host env var is forwarded only into the egress sidecar as the Bearer
+  token for `api.anthropic.com`, and a placeholder
+  `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` is set in the agent so the Claude Code CLI
+  starts without a real credential.
+- Remove the `claude_code_oauth` egress route role, which previously
+  required operators to declare the OAuth route manually. The provisioner
+  now injects it from `auth_token`.
+- Read host Codex auth from `$CODEX_HOME/auth.json` when `CODEX_HOME` is
+  set, otherwise from `~/.codex/auth.json`.
+- Extract only `tokens.access_token` for egress injection.
+- Generate a dummy agent-side `auth.json` from the host auth file's
+  mode and key shape, without copying real token values.
+- Validate that host auth is not API-key mode and the access token is
+  present, JWT-shaped, and not expired.
+- Add or upgrade `api.openai.com` and `chatgpt.com` egress routes to
+  inject that access token via a shared `EGRESS_TOKEN_N` sidecar env
+  slot.
+- Pass the extracted token only into the sidecar compose/run
+  environment, alongside other egress token values.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- Sidecar-owned refresh using `tokens.refresh_token`.
+- Sharing full Codex auth state with the agent.
+- Supporting host credential forwarding for non-Codex providers.
+
+## Design
+
+### Manifest
+
+Extend `agent_provider`:
+
+```yaml
+agent_provider:
+  template: codex
+  forward_host_credentials: true
+```
+
+The field defaults to `false`. If set on a non-Codex provider, manifest
+validation should reject it until that provider has a concrete,
+credential-minimizing implementation.
+
+### Host auth extraction
+
+At prepare/launch time, when the flag is enabled for Codex:
+
+1. Resolve the host Codex home directory from `$CODEX_HOME`, falling
+   back to `~/.codex`.
+2. Parse `auth.json`.
+3. Require user/device auth mode rather than API-key auth.
+4. Require a non-empty `tokens.access_token`.
+5. Parse the JWT payload enough to require an `exp` claim in the future.
+6. Return only the access token value to the launch path.
+
+Errors should name the missing or invalid condition and point the
+operator at `codex login --device-auth`, without printing token values.
+
+### Egress route
+
+When forwarding host Codex credentials, the effective egress route table
+should contain authenticated `api.openai.com` and `chatgpt.com` routes.
+If the bottle already declares either host as a bare-pass route, upgrade
+it in the effective route table rather than requiring a duplicate
+manifest entry. If the bottle already declares an authenticated route for
+either host, fail rather than guessing whether to override
+operator-provided auth, unless that route already uses the synthetic
+Codex host credential token reference.
+
+The rendered route should look like any other egress-owned auth route:
+
+```yaml
+routes:
+  - host: "api.openai.com"
+    auth_scheme: "Bearer"
+    token_env: "EGRESS_TOKEN_N"
+  - host: "chatgpt.com"
+    auth_scheme: "Bearer"
+    token_env: "EGRESS_TOKEN_N"
+```
+
+The access token value is supplied through the sidecar process
+environment for that `EGRESS_TOKEN_N` slot. It must not be written to
+`routes.yaml`, compose files, env files, logs, or user-facing output.
+
+### Data flow

+```
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **PRD first.** Land this document as the first commit on the feature
+   branch.
+2. **Manifest schema.** Add `forward_host_credentials`, validation, and
+   unit tests.
+3. **Host Codex auth reader.** Add a small stdlib-only helper for
+   parsing and validating host Codex auth without printing values.
+4. **Effective egress route.** Add/upgrade the Codex API routes when the
+   flag is enabled, and add tests for bare route upgrade,
+   missing-route insertion, and authenticated-route conflict.
+5. **Agent auth marker.** Provision a dummy Codex `auth.json` into the
+   agent home so Codex selects the host's user/device auth branch while
+   real credentials stay in egress.
+6. **Launch wiring.** Pass the host access token into the egress sidecar
+   env for Docker and smolmachines without exposing it to the agent.
+7. **Docs and tests.** Update README examples and run the unit suite.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- Should a later version support sidecar refresh using the host refresh
+  token, or should restart-on-expiry remain the policy?
+- Should telemetry hosts such as `ab.chatgpt.com` stay blocked by
+  default even when Codex ChatGPT auth is enabled?

+# PRD 0030: Deduplicate egress token resolution across backends
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-claude
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #118
+
+## Summary
+
+Eliminate the duplicated egress token resolution block — which resolved
+manifest-declared tokens and the Codex host credential — by moving
+provider-specific token reading into `AgentProvisionPlan.provisioned_env`
+at prepare time, and having both backends merge that map into `os.environ`
+before calling the now-generic `egress_resolve_token_values`.
+
+## Problem
+
+The same logic block appeared in two places:
+
+- `bot_bottle/backend/docker/launch.py` (~line 183): inline inside
+  `launch()`, building `token_values` before `compose_up`.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/launch.py` (~line 422): the private
+  `_resolve_token_env` helper, called before `_bundle.start_bundle`.
+
+Both blocks:
+1. Short-circuit to `{}` when there are no egress routes.
+2. Call `egress_resolve_token_values(token_env_map, host_env)` to
+   resolve ordinary manifest-declared token refs.
+3. Check `agent_provider.forward_host_credentials` and, when true,
+   call `codex_host_access_token` and slot the result into any
+   `token_env` whose `token_ref` is `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`.
+
+The duplication means any change to step 3 must be applied twice.
+PRD 0029, which introduced `forward_host_credentials`, already had to
+wire both backends; the next change would too. This is a near-certain
+future sync bug.
+
+`egress_resolve_token_values` also carried a sentinel `continue` skip
+for `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`, which tied an otherwise generic
+egress helper to a Codex-specific contract.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- The `forward_host_credentials` resolution logic exists in exactly one
+  place in the codebase.
+- Both `docker/launch.py` and `smolmachines/launch.py` call
+  `egress_resolve_token_values` with no provider-specific arguments.
+- `egress_resolve_token_values` is fully generic — it neither knows nor
+  cares about provider identity or the `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`
+  sentinel.
+- No behaviour change for either backend.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Changes to token resolution semantics. This is a pure refactor.
+- Adding support for any new credential type or provider.
+- Consolidating any other backend differences beyond this one block.
+
+## Design
+
+### `AgentProvisionPlan.provisioned_env`
+
+Add `provisioned_env: dict[str, str]` (default empty) to
+`AgentProvisionPlan`. This map holds host-side secrets that the
+provisioning stage resolved and that egress needs injected into the
+sidecar environ.
+
+When `forward_host_credentials=True` for Codex, `agent_provision_plan`
+calls `codex_host_access_token(host_env)` and stores the result under
+`CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`. This is already the prepare-time
+stage where `write_codex_dummy_auth_file` runs, so the access-token
+read is colocated with all other Codex-specific provisioning.
+
+### Backend call sites
+
+Both backends merge `provisioned_env` over `os.environ` before calling
+`egress_resolve_token_values`:
+
+```python
+effective_env = {**dict(os.environ), **plan.agent_provision.provisioned_env}
+token_values = egress_resolve_token_values(plan.egress_plan.token_env_map, effective_env)
+```
+
+`provisioned_env` values take precedence over same-named host env vars,
+so the Codex token slot resolves from the map written at prepare time
+rather than from a raw `os.environ` lookup.
+
+### `egress_resolve_token_values`
+
+Remove the `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF` sentinel `continue` skip.
+The function now resolves every slot in `token_env_map` from `host_env`
+without special-casing any key name. The `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`
+key is present in `effective_env` (injected by `provisioned_env`) exactly
+when it is needed.
+
+## Implementation
+
+- `bot_bottle/agent_provider.py`: add `provisioned_env` field; populate
+  it for Codex when `forward_host_credentials=True`.
+- `bot_bottle/egress.py`: remove sentinel skip; remove
+  `egress_resolve_token_values_with_provider` (the intermediate function
+  that was introduced and then superseded by this design); drop the
+  `codex_auth` import.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/docker/launch.py`: replace the provider-aware
+  resolution block with the `effective_env` merge.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/launch.py`: same replacement in
+  `_resolve_token_env`.
+- `tests/unit/test_agent_provider.py`: add tests verifying
+  `provisioned_env` is populated (or empty) for Codex with and without
+  `forward_host_credentials`.
+- `tests/unit/test_egress.py`: remove `TestResolveTokenValuesWithProvider`;
+  replace the sentinel-skip test with a test verifying the Codex token
+  ref resolves normally when present in `host_env`.

+# PRD 0031: Simplify egress route merge and consolidate Route types
+

+
+## Summary
+
+Replace `_merge_provider_route`'s five-case nested conditional with a
+flat provisioned-wins merge, and make the mapping between the host-side
+`EgressRoute` and the addon's `Route` explicit in one place. Covers the
+two remaining open tasks from the #117 hotspot review.
+
+## Problem
+
+### 1. `_merge_provider_route` branching
+
+`_merge_provider_route` in `bot_bottle/egress.py` handles five distinct
+cases in a single function with interleaved conditions:
+
+1. **append-new** — host not in manifest; append a fresh route.
+2. **upgrade-bare** — host found, no existing auth; adopt provider auth.
+3. **no-op** — host found, same auth; return unchanged.
+4. **tls-passthrough upgrade** — same as no-op but provider sets
+   `tls_passthrough=True`; flip the flag on the existing route.
+5. **conflict-die** — host found, different auth; hard error.
+
+Cases 3 and 4 share a block with no-op as the invisible fall-through.
+`_find_or_alloc_token_env` is duplicated between cases 2 and 1. In-place
+replacements spell out every `EgressRoute` field explicitly, so a new
+field added to the dataclass silently drops its value in any replacement
+site that wasn't updated.
+
+The root cause of the complexity is that the current merge tries to be
+cooperative: it lets manifest routes coexist with provider routes and
+attempts to upgrade bare manifest entries. This makes sense if the
+manifest is authoritative, but the actual intended hierarchy is the
+opposite — provider routes claim their hosts outright and the manifest
+fills in what's left.
+
+### 2. Three-way Route type fragmentation
+
+`EgressRoute` (in `egress.py`) and `egress_addon_core.Route` are
+separate dataclasses with overlapping but not identical field sets:
+
+| Field | `EgressRoute` | addon `Route` |
+|---|---|---|
+| `host` | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `path_allowlist` | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `auth_scheme` | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `token_env` | ✓ | ✓ |
+| `token_ref` | ✓ (host-side) | — |
+| `roles` | ✓ (host-side) | — |
+| `tls_passthrough` | ✓ (pipelock concern) | — |
+
+`egress_render_routes` serialises `EgressRoute` fields to YAML; the
+addon's `load_routes` deserialises that YAML into `Route` objects. If a
+field is added to `EgressRoute` that should appear in the YAML, both
+`egress_render_routes` and `_parse_one` must be updated consistently.
+The render function spells the field list out inline with no reference
+to the addon's parser, so divergence is silent until runtime.
+
+`egress_addon_core.Route` cannot be replaced by `EgressRoute` — the
+addon file is copied flat into the sidecar container image (`/app/`) and
+has no access to the `bot_bottle` package. The types must stay separate;
+the risk is that they drift.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `egress_routes_for_bottle` implements a flat provisioned-wins merge:
+  provider routes claim their hosts; manifest routes for unclaimed hosts
+  append. No upgrade logic, no conflict detection.
+- Token slot assignment is a single pass over the merged list, not
+  interleaved with the merge.
+- `egress_render_routes` uses a single `_route_to_yaml_fields` helper
+  that explicitly lists the addon-visible fields, creating one place
+  where the `EgressRoute`→`Route` mapping is spelled out.
+- All existing `TestProviderRouteMerge` and `TestRenderRoutes` tests
+  pass (adjusting assertions for any semantics changes described below).
+- No behaviour change for existing manifests that don't trigger the
+  conflict-die or upgrade-bare paths.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Merging `EgressRoute` and `egress_addon_core.Route` into one class
+  (impossible: addon runs in a stdlib-only container environment).
+- Changing what the addon does with a route once it has one.
+- Changing `decide()` or `is_git_push_request()` in `egress_addon_core`
+  — those are already pure functions with good separation.
+
+## Design
+
+### Merge: provisioned wins
+
+The new hierarchy: **provisioned routes own their hosts; manifest routes
+fill the gaps.**
+
+```
+provisioned_hosts = {pr.host.lower() for pr in provider_routes}
+
+effective = list(provider_routes)
+effective += [r for r in manifest_routes if r.host.lower() not in provisioned_hosts]
+```
+
+Token slot assignment runs as a final pass over `effective` in order:
+
+```python
+def _assign_token_slots(
+    routes: list[EgressRoute],
+) -> tuple[EgressRoute, ...]:
+    slot_for_ref: dict[str, str] = {}
+    out: list[EgressRoute] = []
+    for r in routes:
+        if r.auth_scheme and r.token_ref and not r.token_env:
+            token_env = slot_for_ref.get(r.token_ref)
+            if token_env is None:
+                token_env = f"EGRESS_TOKEN_{len(slot_for_ref)}"
+                slot_for_ref[r.token_ref] = token_env
+            r = dataclasses.replace(r, token_env=token_env)
+        out.append(r)
+    return tuple(out)
+```
+
+This replaces `_merge_provider_route`, `_find_or_alloc_token_env`, and
+the slot-assignment loop inside `egress_manifest_routes`.
+
+#### Semantics change
+
+Under the old design, a manifest route for a provisioned host with a
+*different* `auth_scheme` or `token_ref` raised a hard error. Under
+provisioned-wins, the manifest entry is silently dropped. Operators who
+relied on the conflict error to catch misconfigurations should audit
+their manifests, but in practice this path was only reachable when a
+manifest declared auth for `api.openai.com` or `chatgpt.com` with a
+token ref other than `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF` while also
+enabling `forward_host_credentials` — an unlikely combination.
+
+Similarly, the "upgrade-bare" path (provider adopts a bare manifest
+route's `path_allowlist`) is dropped: a provisioned host takes the
+provider route's fields wholesale, and the manifest's `path_allowlist`
+for that host is ignored.
+
+### Route type mapping: `_route_to_yaml_fields`
+
+Add a pure function in `egress.py`:
+
+```python
+def _route_to_yaml_fields(r: EgressRoute) -> dict:
+    """Return the addon-visible fields for one route.
+
+    This is the single authoritative mapping between `EgressRoute`
+    (host-side) and `egress_addon_core.Route` (sidecar-side). If a
+    field is added to `Route` that must appear in the YAML, add it
+    here and in `egress_addon_core._parse_one` together."""
+    fields: dict = {"host": r.host}
+    if r.auth_scheme and r.token_env:
+        fields["auth_scheme"] = r.auth_scheme
+        fields["token_env"] = r.token_env
+    if r.path_allowlist:
+        fields["path_allowlist"] = list(r.path_allowlist)
+    return fields
+```
+
+`egress_render_routes` delegates to it:
+
+```python
+for r in routes:
+    f = _route_to_yaml_fields(r)
+    lines.append(f'  - host: "{f["host"]}"')
+    if "auth_scheme" in f:
+        lines.append(f'    auth_scheme: "{f["auth_scheme"]}"')
+        lines.append(f'    token_env: "{f["token_env"]}"')
+    if "path_allowlist" in f:
+        lines.append("    path_allowlist:")
+        for p in f["path_allowlist"]:
+            lines.append(f'      - "{p}"')
+```
+
+The docstring on `_route_to_yaml_fields` is the explicit callout to
+update both it and `_parse_one` together when the schema changes.
+
+### `egress_manifest_routes` / `egress_routes_for_bottle`
+
+`egress_manifest_routes` becomes a pure lifter with no slot assignment:
+it reads each manifest route entry and returns an `EgressRoute` with
+`token_env=""` (the slot to be filled later). The function's docstring
+currently promises slot assignment; that promise moves to
+`egress_routes_for_bottle`.
+
+`egress_routes_for_bottle` becomes:
+
+```python
+def egress_routes_for_bottle(
+    bottle: Bottle,
+    provider_routes: tuple[EgressRoute, ...] = (),
+) -> tuple[EgressRoute, ...]:
+    manifest = egress_manifest_routes(bottle)
+    provisioned_hosts = {pr.host.lower() for pr in provider_routes}
+    merged = list(provider_routes) + [
+        r for r in manifest if r.host.lower() not in provisioned_hosts
+    ]
+    return _assign_token_slots(merged)
+```
+
+### Mitmproxy request logic
+
+`egress_addon_core.decide()` and `is_git_push_request()` are already
+pure functions; `egress_addon.EgressAddon.request()` is the minimal
+mitmproxy glue (read host/path/headers from flow → call pure functions
+→ apply result to flow). This split is already clean and requires no
+structural change in this PRD.
+
+## Test impact
+
+- **`TestProviderRouteMerge`**: the `test_provider_route_upgrades_bare_manifest_route`
+  test asserts that a provider route preserves a bare manifest route's
+  `path_allowlist`. Under provisioned-wins that `path_allowlist` is
+  dropped. Update the test to reflect the new semantics.
+- **`test_provider_route_conflicts_with_different_authed_manifest_route`**:
+  the conflict-die case no longer exists. Remove this test.
+- All other merge and render tests should pass without modification.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **PRD (this commit).** Sets the design.
+2. **Merge refactor.** Replace `_merge_provider_route` and
+   `_find_or_alloc_token_env` with `_assign_token_slots` and the
+   flat provisioned-wins logic in `egress_routes_for_bottle`. Strip
+   slot assignment from `egress_manifest_routes`.
+3. **Render consolidation.** Add `_route_to_yaml_fields`; update
+   `egress_render_routes` to use it.
+4. **Test updates.** Adjust `TestProviderRouteMerge` for the semantics
+   changes above; confirm all render tests pass.

+# PRD 0032: Decompose smolmachines launch and harden bringup sequencing
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-claude
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #122
+
+## Summary
+
+Split `launch()` into named per-step helpers, replace the empirical
+`time.sleep(1.5)` with a readiness poll, and file-lock loopback alias
+allocation. Addresses the three actionable issues from the #117 hotspot
+review of `smolmachines/launch.py`.
+
+## Problem
+
+### 1. `launch()` step ordering
+
+`launch()` in `smolmachines/launch.py` is 207 lines. Seven sequenced
+steps are marked by numbered inline comments (`# 1. Reserve a loopback
+alias`, `# 2. Mint per-bottle CAs`, ...) — the sequencing is
+load-bearing (CA paths must be filled before the bundle spec is built;
+the bundle must be running before port discovery; the VM must be created
+before the allowlist is patched), but the dependencies are enforced only
+by linear ordering within one function. Adding a new daemon, changing
+the port-forward strategy, or debugging a bringup failure requires
+reading the whole function to understand what state each step produces.
+Each step is also not individually testable without mocking the entire
+surrounding context.
+
+### 2. `time.sleep(1.5)` for libkrun exec-channel race
+
+After `machine_start`, back-to-back `machine_exec` calls occasionally
+hit a SIGKILL in libkrun's exec channel at ~100ms. The sleep is
+documented as "1.5s is empirically enough; provisioning already takes
+seconds so the wait is amortized." The failure mode if the sleep is
+insufficient: the filesystem-repair exec (`chown -R node:node /home/node`)
+is SIGKILLed silently, and the agent later bails with `ENOENT`/`EPERM`
+when Claude Code tries to write to `~/.claude.json`. A poll-until-ready
+loop is more robust than a fixed duration: it exits as soon as the exec
+channel is up, fails loudly with a timeout if the VM never becomes
+responsive, and is self-documenting about what it is waiting for.
+
+### 3. Loopback alias allocation is not concurrent-safe
+
+`loopback_alias.allocate()` reads docker container state to determine
+which aliases are already in use, then returns the lowest free alias.
+There is no lock between that read and the bundle's `docker run` (which
+creates the container that will appear in future `docker ps` output). Two
+simultaneous bottle launches can both see the same alias as free and
+claim it, causing both bundles to bind on the same loopback IP. On macOS,
+where users occasionally start multiple agents in quick succession, this
+is a realistic failure mode.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Removing `force_allowlist` / the `--allow-cidr` DB patch. That is a
+  workaround for a smolvm 0.8.0 bug; removal is a one-liner when smolvm
+  honors the CLI flag upstream.
+- Changing the ephemeral registry / crane detour in `local_registry.py`.
+  Required by Docker Desktop's network topology.
+- Changing `_ensure_smolmachine`'s cache design. Cache invalidation by
+  docker image ID works; issue #111 tracks a separate stale-sidecar
+  concern.
+
+## Design
+
+### 1. Decompose `launch()` into named helpers
+
+Extract six focused helpers. `launch()` becomes a coordinator that calls
+them in order, passing the `ExitStack` for teardown registration:
+
+```
+_allocate_resources(plan, stack) → (loopback_ip, network)
+```
+Reserve the loopback alias, create the docker bridge network, register
+teardown callbacks for both.
+
+```
+_mint_certs(plan) → plan
+```
+Pipelock TLS init (always). Egress TLS init when `plan.egress_plan.routes`
+is non-empty. Returns the plan with CA paths filled via
+`dataclasses.replace`.
+
+```
+_start_bundle(plan, network, loopback_ip, stack) → plan
+```
+Build the `BundleLaunchSpec`, resolve token env, start the bundle
+container, register teardown. Returns the plan with `bundle_spec` updated
+(or unchanged if no plan field carries it — callers consume `bundle_spec`
+directly from this call's return value if needed).
+
+```
+_discover_urls(plan, loopback_ip) → plan
+```
+Look up host-side ports for the published container ports; assemble
+`agent_proxy_url`, `agent_git_gate_host`, `agent_supervise_url`; stamp
+them onto the plan and into `guest_env`.
+
+```
+_launch_vm(plan, agent_from_path, stack) → None
+```
+`machine_create` + `force_allowlist` + `machine_start`. Register
+`machine_stop` and `machine_delete` teardown callbacks on the stack.
+
+```
+_init_vm(plan) → None
+```
+Filesystem-repair exec (`chown`/`chmod`) followed by
+`_wait_exec_ready()`.
+
+`launch()` reduces to:
+
+```python
+loopback_ip, network = _allocate_resources(plan, stack)
+plan = _mint_certs(plan)
+plan = _start_bundle(plan, network, loopback_ip, stack)
+plan = _discover_urls(plan, loopback_ip)
+agent_from_path = _ensure_smolmachine(plan.agent_image_ref,
+                                      dockerfile=plan.agent_dockerfile_path)
+_launch_vm(plan, agent_from_path, stack)
+_init_vm(plan)
+prompt_path = provision(plan, plan.machine_name)
+yield SmolmachinesBottle(...)
+```
+
+Each helper's inputs and outputs are explicit; each is independently
+testable with a minimal set of mocks.
+
+### 2. Replace `time.sleep(1.5)` with `_wait_exec_ready`
+
+Add to `smolvm.py`:
+
+```python
+def wait_exec_ready(name: str, *, timeout: float = 5.0) -> None:
+    """Poll until `machine exec true` exits 0 or `timeout` elapses.
+    Replaces a fixed sleep after machine_start for the libkrun
+    exec-channel warm-up race."""
+    deadline = time.monotonic() + timeout
+    delay = 0.1
+    while time.monotonic() < deadline:
+        r = machine_exec(name, ["true"])
+        if r.returncode == 0:
+            return
+        remaining = deadline - time.monotonic()
+        if remaining <= 0:
+            break
+        time.sleep(min(delay, remaining))
+        delay = min(delay * 2, 0.5)
+    die(
+        f"smolvm machine {name!r}: exec channel not ready after "
+        f"{timeout:.0f}s — VM may have failed to boot."
+    )
+```
+
+`_init_vm` calls `wait_exec_ready` after the chown/chmod exec instead of
+`time.sleep(1.5)`. The `time` import in `launch.py` is removed.
+
+### 3. File-lock loopback alias allocation
+
+Add to `loopback_alias.py`:
+
+```python
+import fcntl
+
+_ALLOC_LOCK_PATH = Path.home() / ".cache" / "bot-bottle" / "smolmachines.lock"
+
+def allocate(slug: str) -> str:
+    if not _is_macos():
+        return "127.0.0.1"
+    _ALLOC_LOCK_PATH.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
+    with open(_ALLOC_LOCK_PATH, "w") as lf:
+        fcntl.flock(lf, fcntl.LOCK_EX)
+        return _allocate_locked(slug)
+
+def _allocate_locked(slug: str) -> str:
+    in_use = _aliases_in_use()
+    for ip in _pool_addresses():
+        if ip not in in_use:
+            return ip
+    die(...)
+    return ""
+```
+
+The lock is held only for the duration of `_aliases_in_use()` + the
+`allocate` return. The bundle's `docker run` runs after the lock is
+released. This is sufficient: once `docker run` returns, the container
+is visible in docker state and future `allocate()` calls will see it.
+The remaining window (lock released → container appears in docker state)
+is narrowed from "the entire bringup sequence" to "a single subprocess
+call," making a collision between two concurrent launches effectively
+impossible in practice.
+
+The lock is a no-op on Linux (the `_is_macos()` early-return fires
+before the lock path is opened).
+
+## Test impact
+
+- Unit tests for each extracted helper can mock one subprocess boundary
+  at a time (smolvm, docker, pipelock TLS init) without wiring the full
+  `launch()` ExitStack.
+- `wait_exec_ready` needs a test with `machine_exec` stubbed to return
+  non-zero N times before 0 — verifies the backoff loop and the timeout
+  die path.
+- `allocate` tests are unchanged in shape; the lock is acquired and
+  released within the call so tests don't need to be aware of it.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **PRD (this commit).** Sets the design.
+2. **Decompose `launch()`.**
+3. **Replace sleep with `wait_exec_ready`.**
+4. **File-lock `allocate()`.**
+5. **Tests.** Unit tests for each helper; `wait_exec_ready` backoff + timeout.

+# PRD 0033: Manifest Schema Boundaries
+
+- **Status:** Active

+- **Issue:** #125
+
+## Summary
+
+Split the manifest loader's schema validation, filesystem loading, `extends:`
+resolution, and compatibility passthrough policy into named internal boundaries
+without changing the public manifest format. The goal is to make
+`bot_bottle/manifest.py` cheaper to extend and review while preserving the
+strict validation behavior that keeps manifest mistakes visible.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/manifest.py` has become a broad schema surface. It owns dataclass
+models, per-field validators, per-section unknown-key policy, Markdown
+frontmatter loading, two-pass bottle inheritance, merge semantics, and
+effective agent-to-bottle overlays in one file. The logic is deterministic and
+well covered, but the number of concerns makes schema changes expensive:
+reviewers have to re-derive loader behavior, parse-time validation, and
+post-parse composition rules together.
+
+One specific coupling is especially easy to miss: agent Markdown files are
+allowed to double as Claude Code subagent files, so the manifest parser accepts
+and ignores Claude Code frontmatter fields such as `name`, `description`,
+`model`, `color`, and `memory`. That compatibility rule is encoded as a
+passthrough allowlist alongside bot-bottle's own agent schema. If Claude Code
+adds a frontmatter field and users start sharing files between
+`~/.claude/agents/` and `.bot-bottle/agents/`, bot-bottle raises
+`ManifestError` until the local passthrough policy is updated.
+
+The current shape is workable, but it creates unnecessary risk for future
+manifest features. A new field can accidentally mix parsing, inheritance, and
+compatibility concerns in the same edit, or update one entry path
+(`from_json_obj`) without matching the Markdown path (`from_md_dirs`).
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Preserve the existing public manifest schema and runtime behavior.
+- Keep `Manifest`, `Bottle`, `Agent`, `GitEntry`, `GitUser`, `AgentProvider`,
+  `EgressRoute`, `EgressConfig`, and `PipelockRoutePolicy` import-compatible
+  from `bot_bottle.manifest`.
+- Move Markdown file discovery and frontmatter loading behind a small internal
+  loader boundary with tests that show `$HOME` bottles, `$HOME` agents, `$CWD`
+  agent overrides, and ignored `$CWD` bottles still behave as before.
+- Move bottle `extends:` resolution and merge rules behind a named internal
+  resolver boundary with tests for inheritance, replacement, cycle detection,
+  missing parents, and per-field `git.user` overlays.
+- Centralize top-level allowed-key policy for bottle and agent schemas so
+  unknown-key errors remain strict and the allowed set is visible in one place
+  per schema.
+- Make Claude Code passthrough fields a named compatibility policy with focused
+  tests that distinguish accepted passthrough keys from bot-bottle schema keys
+  and true typos.
+- Keep both entry points, `Manifest.from_json_obj` and
+  `Manifest.from_md_dirs`, covered by tests for shared validation and shared
+  inheritance behavior.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No manifest format changes.
+- No migration away from Markdown frontmatter or the stdlib-only YAML subset
+  parser.
+- No dependency on Pydantic, PyYAML, JSON Schema, or another schema framework.
+- No relaxation of strict unknown-key validation for bot-bottle fields.
+- No provider-specific workspace, auth, launch, or egress changes.
+- No user-facing CLI behavior changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- Internal module organization for manifest loading and composition.
+- Validator helpers or schema-policy helpers that reduce duplicated
+  unknown-key and type-checking logic.
+- Focused regression tests around the two existing load paths.
+- Documentation comments that clarify compatibility policy where it is encoded.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Renaming public dataclass fields or changing their capitalization.
+- Reworking callers outside the manifest boundary except for import updates
+  that are mechanically required by an internal split.
+- Adding new manifest fields.
+- Changing how `bot-bottle.json` legacy-file errors are reported.
+
+## Design
+
+Keep `bot_bottle.manifest` as the public facade. Existing imports should
+continue to work from that module, even if implementation moves into internal
+modules such as:
+
+- `bot_bottle/manifest_model.py` for dataclasses and field-level parsing.
+- `bot_bottle/manifest_loader.py` for filesystem layout, Markdown
+  frontmatter loading, stale legacy-file checks, and `$CWD` override rules.
+- `bot_bottle/manifest_extends.py` for raw-bottle inheritance, cycle checks,
+  and merge semantics.
+- `bot_bottle/manifest_schema.py` for allowed-key sets, passthrough policy,
+  and small validation helpers.
+
+The exact filenames are not required. The required boundary is conceptual:
+raw input loading, schema validation, bottle inheritance, and effective
+agent-to-bottle overlays should be separable when reading and testing the code.
+
+`Manifest.from_json_obj` should continue to accept a raw JSON-like dict and
+feed the same raw bottle resolver used by Markdown loading. `Manifest.from_md_dirs`
+should perform only filesystem discovery and Markdown parsing before passing
+the same raw sections into the same validator/composer path. That shared path
+prevents a future schema field from working in one entry point but not the
+other.
+
+Claude Code passthrough fields should be represented as an explicit
+compatibility allowlist, named as such, and documented near the agent schema
+policy. The parser should still ignore those fields after validation. Tests
+should cover every passthrough field currently accepted and at least one
+unknown field that remains an error.
+
+The `extends:` resolver should remain raw-dict based until after inheritance is
+resolved. Merge rules stay unchanged:
+
+- scalar fields use child value when present.
+- `env` merges by key with child values winning.
+- `git.remotes` merges by upstream host, with child entries replacing duplicate
+  hosts and explicit empty maps clearing inherited remotes.
+- `git.user` overlays per field.
+- `egress` remains full-replace when declared by the child.
+- cycles, missing parents, and self-reference remain `ManifestError`s.
+
+## Implementation Chunks
+
+1. Add focused characterization tests for agent allowed keys, Claude Code
+   passthrough fields, and parity between `from_json_obj` and Markdown loading.
+2. Extract allowed-key and compatibility policy helpers while keeping
+   `bot_bottle.manifest` as the import surface.
+3. Extract raw Markdown loading into a loader boundary and rerun existing
+   PRD 0011 tests unchanged.
+4. Extract bottle inheritance and merge rules into a resolver boundary and
+   rerun existing PRD 0025 tests unchanged.
+5. Trim `bot_bottle.manifest` to the public facade and model composition,
+   leaving compatibility imports for existing callers.
+
+Each chunk should be mergeable on its own and should keep the test suite green.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Run the existing manifest-focused unit tests after each chunk:
+
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_md_load.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_extends.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_git.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_git_user.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_agent_git_user.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_egress.py`
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_runtime.py`
+
+Add new tests only where they lock down boundary behavior not already covered,
+especially compatibility passthrough and entry-point parity.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should the Claude Code passthrough allowlist intentionally track a documented
+  upstream schema, or should bot-bottle keep a narrow local allowlist and update
+  it only when users need a new shared-file field?
+- Should the public facade continue exposing every helper that tests currently
+  import from `bot_bottle.manifest`, or should tests move to public behavior
+  only during this cleanup?

+# PRD 0034: Sidecar Restart and Shutdown Semantics
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #126
+
+## Summary
+
+Make the sidecar bundle supervisor's signal, restart, and exit-code behavior
+explicit and easier to reason about. In particular, move pipelock restart work
+out of direct SIGUSR1 handler execution while preserving the caller-visible
+`docker kill --signal USR1 <bundle>` contract used by pipelock apply flows.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/sidecar_init.py` is PID 1 for the bundled sidecar container. It
+starts egress, pipelock, git-gate/git-http, and supervise; forwards shutdown
+signals; forwards SIGHUP to egress; and restarts pipelock on SIGUSR1 after
+allowlist changes.
+
+The current SIGUSR1 handler calls `sup.restart_daemon("pipelock")` directly.
+That restart path can terminate a child, wait up to a grace timeout, SIGKILL a
+stubborn child, spawn a replacement with `subprocess.Popen`, and start a new
+pump thread. In CPython signal handlers run between bytecodes in the main
+thread, so this is not the same as POSIX async-signal-unsafe C code, but it
+still means signal handling can block the supervisor loop for the restart grace
+window and makes stacked signals harder to reason about.
+
+The exit-code contract is also easy to misread. `_Supervisor.exit_code()`
+returns the maximum child return code. That preserves a positive crash code
+when a child failed before graceful shutdown, but the docstring currently
+frames graceful shutdown as returning zero because signal-killed children have
+negative return codes. The implementation is reasonable; the contract needs to
+be deliberate and tested around crash-then-shutdown behavior.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Preserve the external signal contract:
+  - SIGTERM/SIGINT requests bundle shutdown.
+  - SIGHUP still forwards to the live egress child.
+  - SIGUSR1 still requests an in-place pipelock restart.
+- Keep signal handlers small: handlers should record intent and return, not
+  perform blocking subprocess lifecycle work directly.
+- Process queued restart requests from the supervisor's main loop so restart
+  behavior is serialized with `tick()` and shutdown state.
+- Avoid respawning children after shutdown has started.
+- Coalesce or serialize repeated pipelock restart requests in a documented way
+  so stacked SIGUSR1 delivery cannot overlap restarts.
+- Clarify and test aggregate exit-code semantics:
+  - clean unattended exits return zero when every child exits zero.
+  - signal-only shutdown does not invent a positive failure code.
+  - a positive child crash before shutdown remains visible on supervisor exit.
+- Keep the implementation stdlib-only.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new process supervisor dependency such as supervisord, s6, or runit.
+- No automatic restart policy for arbitrary unexpected child death.
+- No changes to the bundle's daemon set, daemon argv, env filtering, or Docker
+  compose contract.
+- No changes to egress route reload semantics beyond preserving SIGHUP
+  forwarding.
+- No user-facing CLI changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- Internal signal handling and supervisor event-loop structure in
+  `bot_bottle/sidecar_init.py`.
+- Tests in `tests/unit/test_sidecar_init.py` for queued restart behavior,
+  shutdown/restart ordering, repeated restart requests, and exit-code
+  semantics.
+- Docstring/comment updates that describe the concrete signal and exit-code
+  contracts.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changing pipelock itself to reload config in process.
+- Restarting egress, git-gate, git-http, or supervise on demand.
+- Reporting restart events to the supervise MCP plane.
+- Changing the interim policy that unexpected child death leaves surviving
+  daemons running.
+
+## Design
+
+Keep `_Supervisor` as the owner of child process state, but add an explicit
+pending-action boundary between signal delivery and subprocess lifecycle work.
+The exact API can be small, for example:
+
+- `request_shutdown(reason)` keeps its existing idempotent behavior.
+- `request_restart(daemon_name)` records a pending restart request unless
+  shutdown is already in progress.
+- `tick()` drains pending restart work before or after child-death logging in a
+  documented order.
+
+The SIGUSR1 handler should call only the non-blocking request method. The main
+loop should continue to call `tick()` and sleep on `_POLL_INTERVAL`; `tick()`
+then performs the actual `restart_daemon("pipelock")` work while normal Python
+control flow is in the supervisor loop.
+
+Repeated restart requests should not overlap. Restart requests coalesce by
+daemon name: if three SIGUSR1 signals arrive before the next loop turn, one
+pipelock restart is enough because each restart rereads the latest
+`pipelock.yaml` from disk. This treats SIGUSR1 as "make pipelock reflect the
+current config" rather than "run exactly one restart per signal."
+
+Shutdown wins over restart. If SIGTERM/SIGINT is received while a restart is
+pending, the supervisor should drop the pending restart and terminate live
+children. If shutdown starts while `restart_daemon` is already executing in the
+main loop, the existing restart operation may finish, but no additional queued
+restart should start after shutdown state is set. A simpler implementation may
+check shutdown only before each queued restart, because signal handlers execute
+between bytecodes and cannot interrupt a single blocking `wait()` until control
+returns to Python.
+
+Exit-code behavior should be documented as "positive failures win, otherwise
+return zero." Positive process failures remain visible, while a clean shutdown
+of only zero-exit or signal-terminated children returns zero instead of leaking
+platform-specific negative signal return codes to the container exit status.
+
+## Implementation Chunks
+
+1. Add characterization tests for SIGUSR1 queuing, repeated restart coalescing,
+   shutdown dropping pending restarts, and crash-then-shutdown exit codes.
+2. Add a pending restart request structure to `_Supervisor` and a
+   non-blocking request method.
+3. Change the SIGUSR1 handler in `main()` to enqueue the pipelock restart
+   instead of calling `restart_daemon` directly.
+4. Drain pending restarts from `tick()` with shutdown checks and documented
+   ordering.
+5. Update docstrings and comments around signal handling and `exit_code()`.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Run the existing sidecar unit tests:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest tests.unit.test_sidecar_init`
+
+Add focused unit tests that avoid process-wide signal handler races where
+possible by driving `_Supervisor` directly. End-to-end signal tests can remain
+limited to `main()` behavior that cannot be exercised otherwise.
+
+Also run the full unit suite before merge:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`
+
+## Open Questions
+
+None.

+# PRD 0035: Supervise Wait Bounds
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #128
+
+## Summary
+
+Bound the supervise sidecar's request-thread waits so an agent tool call cannot
+hold an HTTP worker forever while waiting for operator action. Preserve the MCP
+tool surface, but make timeout behavior explicit, observable, and tested.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/supervise_server.py` handles MCP over a threaded stdlib HTTP
+server. Tool calls validate a proposal, write it to the supervise queue, and
+then wait for the operator response file. Today that wait can last forever.
+Each outstanding tool call consumes one server thread until the operator acts.
+
+The route-listing helper also performs a live HTTP request to egress inside the
+request thread. It has a short timeout today, but the behavior is not described
+as part of a broader request-thread budget.
+
+This is operationally risky in multi-agent or repeated-call scenarios: a stuck
+or ignored proposal can accumulate blocked threads, and callers do not get a
+clear "still pending" answer they can reason about.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Add a bounded wait for operator responses to supervise tool calls.
+- Return a clear JSON-RPC tool result when the proposal remains pending after
+  the timeout; do not treat pending operator action as an internal server error.
+- Keep the queued proposal on disk after timeout so the operator can still act.
+- Make the wait duration configurable by environment with a conservative
+  default.
+- Preserve current success and rejection result shapes for completed operator
+  responses.
+- Keep `list-egress-routes` bounded and document its timeout behavior.
+- Add focused tests for approved responses, timed-out pending responses, and
+  route-list timeout/error handling.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No asynchronous framework or new runtime dependency.
+- No replacement of the stdlib threaded HTTP server.
+- No change to the host-side supervise queue format.
+- No cancellation protocol between the agent and operator UI.
+- No dashboard or TUI changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/supervise_server.py` request handling.
+- Any small helper in `bot_bottle/supervise.py` needed to support a bounded
+  wait cleanly.
+- Unit tests around tool-call response waiting and route-list behavior.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Reworking proposal persistence.
+- Changing egress apply or pipelock apply flows.
+- Adding background workers to complete HTTP requests after the client returns.
+
+## Design
+
+Introduce a supervise response wait budget,
+`SUPERVISE_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, with a 30 second default. The existing
+poll loop should stop after that budget and return a normal tool result such as
+`{"status": "pending", "notes": "operator response timed out; proposal remains queued"}`.
+The exact field names should fit the existing response schema so agents can
+handle success, rejection, and pending with one result parser.
+
+The proposal file must remain in the queue when the HTTP call times out. The
+operator can still approve or reject it later, but that later response will not
+resume the original HTTP request.
+
+Route-listing should continue to use a short HTTP timeout to egress. Errors
+should be returned as tool results or JSON-RPC errors consistently with the
+existing server behavior; the implementation should avoid an unbounded socket
+wait in the request thread.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit-test a tool call whose response appears before the timeout.
+- Unit-test a tool call whose response never appears and assert the request
+  returns a pending result while the proposal remains queued.
+- Unit-test invalid timeout env values fall back or fail clearly.
+- Unit-test `list-egress-routes` timeout/error behavior with a fake URL opener.

+# PRD 0036: Codex Auth Redaction Policy
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #129
+
+## Summary
+
+Make Codex host-auth redaction explicit and fixture-driven so dummy
+`auth.json` generation cannot accidentally preserve future sensitive fields.
+Keep forwarding only the short-lived host access token through egress, while the
+guest receives a non-secret auth file whose schema remains useful to Codex.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/codex_auth.py` reads the host Codex auth file, extracts the access
+token for egress, and writes a dummy guest `auth.json`. The code redacts JWT
+claims and auth JSON fields with a mix of schema-specific handling and generic
+placeholder behavior.
+
+That is safer than copying raw auth, but it is still coverage-sensitive. If
+Codex adds a new field that carries a token, session identifier, refresh secret,
+or account metadata and the field name does not match current heuristics, the
+dummy auth file could preserve more information than intended. Because this is
+credential-adjacent code, the desired behavior should be allowlist-oriented and
+backed by explicit fixtures.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Define a durable redaction policy for Codex `auth.json`:
+  - host access token is read for egress only.
+  - guest dummy auth contains no bearer, refresh, session, or secret values.
+  - selected non-secret fields may be preserved only when needed by Codex.
+- Prefer explicit per-field preservation over broad heuristic pass-through.
+- Add representative fixture tests for current Codex auth shapes.
+- Add regression tests for unknown nested fields, sensitive-looking field names,
+  lists, dictionaries, and JWT custom claims.
+- Preserve dummy token expiration alignment with the host access token.
+- Keep existing errors for missing, invalid, non-device, or expired auth.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No change to the egress credential-forwarding contract.
+- No attempt to refresh Codex tokens inside the bottle.
+- No copying of refresh tokens or raw host auth into the guest.
+- No dependency on a Codex SDK or external schema package.
+- No user-facing CLI changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/codex_auth.py` redaction helpers.
+- Unit tests in `tests/unit/test_codex_auth.py`.
+- Small documentation comments that distinguish preserved non-secret fields from
+  redacted credential material.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Provider provisioning outside Codex auth file generation.
+- Egress route construction for Codex.
+- Runtime calls to Codex/OpenAI services.
+
+## Design
+
+Treat the dummy guest `auth.json` as a deliberately synthesized compatibility
+file, not as a redacted copy of the host file. The implementation may continue
+to start from the host object for convenience, but preserved fields should be
+controlled by explicit allowlists at known schema locations.
+
+At the top level, preserve only `auth_mode`, replace `OPENAI_API_KEY` /
+`openai_api_key` with `null`, and synthesize the `tokens` block. Unknown scalar
+top-level fields become placeholders, unknown lists become empty lists, and
+unknown dictionaries become empty objects.
+
+In token blocks, replace `access_token` and `id_token` with dummy JWTs, preserve
+the selected non-secret `account_id`, and redact every other token-block field
+with the same placeholder / empty container policy. Refresh, session, and future
+token values are never copied to the guest.
+
+In JWT payloads, preserve only claims that are known to be non-secret and
+required for Codex behavior. Unknown scalar claims become placeholders, unknown
+lists become empty lists, and unknown objects become empty objects.
+
+For the OpenAI auth claim, preserve only currently necessary non-secret values
+such as plan type, selected account id, and boolean localhost state. Everything
+else is placeholder, empty object, or empty list according to the policy.
+
+Tests should use fixture auth objects that include both current expected fields
+and intentionally hostile future-looking fields such as `session_context`,
+`bearer`, `refreshSecret`, nested `token_value`, and opaque arrays. The dummy
+output must not contain the original secret strings.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Existing `tests/unit/test_codex_auth.py` should continue to pass.
+- Add tests that assert original access/refresh/session strings do not appear in
+  `codex_dummy_auth_json`.
+- Add tests for nested JWT and auth-claim redaction behavior.
+- Add tests that the dummy access/id token `exp` still matches the host access
+  token expiry.

+# PRD 0037: Pipelock YAML Render Contract
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #130
+
+## Summary
+
+Lock down the contract between `pipelock_build_config` and
+`pipelock_render_yaml` so hand-rendered pipelock YAML stays aligned with the
+structured config bot-bottle builds. Keep the stdlib-only renderer, but add
+shape validation and semantic tests for every supported section.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/pipelock.py` builds a structured dict and then renders a fixed YAML
+shape by hand. This avoids a runtime YAML dependency, but it also means the
+renderer directly indexes expected keys. If `pipelock_build_config` adds,
+renames, or conditionalizes a section, rendering can fail at runtime or emit
+YAML that no longer matches the config semantics.
+
+Existing tests assert important rendered fragments, but they do not fully lock
+the build/render contract or optional-section combinations. A mismatch here can
+weaken DLP enforcement or break bottle launch after a future pipelock policy
+change.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Keep the renderer stdlib-only.
+- Define the supported pipelock config shape in one place.
+- Fail clearly when `pipelock_render_yaml` receives an unsupported or malformed
+  config shape.
+- Add tests covering all supported sections:
+  - base allowlist and forward proxy.
+  - seed phrase detection toggle.
+  - DLP and request-body/header scanning.
+  - TLS interception and passthrough domains.
+  - SSRF IP allowlist.
+- Add semantic tests that compare structured config values to rendered YAML
+  output without relying only on brittle substring assertions.
+- Preserve current rendered YAML for existing configs unless a clearer failure
+  path requires an error message change.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No PyYAML or other runtime dependency.
+- No change to pipelock policy defaults.
+- No change to egress-to-pipelock topology.
+- No change to pipelock image version or config schema beyond validation of the
+  shape bot-bottle already emits.

+- Small helper functions for typed access to config sections, if useful.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Launch/backend changes.
+- Integration tests that start a real pipelock container.
+- Changing the manifest schema for route-level pipelock policy.
+
+## Design
+
+Treat `pipelock_render_yaml` as a serializer for the narrow config shape
+produced by `pipelock_build_config`, not as a generic YAML renderer. Before
+rendering a section, validate that required keys exist with the expected
+primitive/list/dict types. Missing or unsupported shapes should raise a clear
+`ValueError` naming the section and key.
+
+The supported top-level shape is `version`, `mode`, `enforce`,
+`api_allowlist`, `seed_phrase_detection`, `forward_proxy`, `dlp`,
+`request_body_scanning`, `tls_interception`, and `ssrf`. Required sections are
+validated before rendering; optional sections keep the current omission
+behavior. `request_body_scanning.scan_headers`,
+`request_body_scanning.header_mode`, and
+`tls_interception.passthrough_domains` remain optional for compatibility with
+parsed running configs that only contain the older rendered subset.
+
+Tests should cover both normal output and failure cases. Because the project is
+stdlib-only, semantic tests can use a small purpose-built parser for the exact
+rendered shape or compare rendered lines to values from the structured config
+through helper assertions. The goal is to detect drift between config dict and
+YAML without adding a general YAML dependency.
+
+Optional sections should be exercised in combinations:
+
+- no TLS and no SSRF.
+- TLS enabled with empty and non-empty passthrough domains.
+- SSRF enabled with one or more IP/CIDR entries.
+- all optional sections enabled together.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Extend `tests/unit/test_pipelock_yaml.py` with semantic assertions tying each
+  rendered section back to the config dict.
+- Add malformed-config tests for missing required keys and wrong section types.
+- Keep existing render fragment tests where they protect exact pipelock syntax.

+# PRD 0038: smolmachines Env Contract and Secret-Safe Injection
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #135
+
+## Summary
+
+Make smolmachines env handling match Docker's contract: resolve manifest env
+entries through `resolve_env()`, keep secret and interpolated values out of
+host argv, and document or enforce an explicit env contract for the backend.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/prepare.py` builds the guest env from
+`bottle.env` directly, bypassing `resolve_env()`. Entries like `?prompt` and
+`${HOST_VAR}` can reach the guest literally rather than being prompted or
+resolved. In contrast, Docker resolves env through `resolve_env()` before
+writing a mode-600 env file.
+
+`smolmachines/smolvm.py` renders env as `-e KEY=VALUE` on `smolvm machine
+create` argv, and `SmolmachinesBottle.agent_argv` / `exec` prepend
+`env KEY=VALUE …` onto the `smolvm machine exec` argv. Any literal or resolved
+secret value is therefore visible in the host process table.
+
+The two backends have no shared env contract document. Divergence will silently
+widen as new manifest env features are added.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Manifest env entries are resolved through `resolve_env()` before being
+  injected into the smolmachines guest, matching Docker behaviour.
+- No manifest env value (literal or resolved) appears on host argv during
+  machine creation or exec.
+- Define and document an explicit smolmachines env contract covering literals,
+  `?prompt` secrets, and `${HOST_VAR}` interpolations.
+- Unit tests cover: literal passthrough, prompted-secret resolution,
+  host-var interpolation, and the no-argv-leak invariant.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to the Docker env path.
+- No changes to manifest schema or `resolve_env()` itself.
+- No changes to smolmachines networking or mount handling.
+- No new runtime dependencies.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/prepare.py` env resolution.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/smolvm.py` machine-create argv.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/bottle.py` `agent_argv` / `exec` env
+  injection.
+- `bot_bottle/env.py` if helper changes are needed to support the smolmachines
+  path.
+- Unit tests in `tests/unit/` covering the above.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Integration tests that start a live smolmachines VM.
+- Docker backend changes.
+- Dashboard or CLI changes.
+
+## Design
+
+Run smolmachines env through `resolve_env()` at prepare time, exactly as Docker
+does. After resolution, inject env into the guest through a mechanism that does
+not expose values on host argv — for example by writing a mode-600 env file
+into the machine's state directory and loading it at exec time, or by passing
+env through `smolvm`'s stdin if the tool supports it.
+
+If `smolvm` provides no stdin or env-file injection path, document this as a
+known limitation and at minimum move env values behind a per-invocation
+tmpfile rather than inline argv.
+
+The env contract for smolmachines should mirror Docker's:
+
+- Literals: passed as-is after resolution.
+- `?prompt` entries: prompted at prepare time; resolved value injected, never
+  on argv.
+- `${HOST_VAR}` entries: interpolated from the operator's env at prepare time;
+  resolved value injected, never on argv.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit tests for `prepare.py` asserting `resolve_env()` is called and that
+  resolution results are used rather than raw `bottle.env` values.
+- Unit tests for `smolvm.py` machine-create argv asserting no env value appears
+  inline.
+- Unit tests for `bottle.py` exec path asserting the same argv invariant.
+
+Run:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest tests.unit.test_smolmachines_prepare`
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Does `smolvm machine create` support an env-file flag or stdin injection that
+  avoids `-e KEY=VALUE` argv?

+# PRD 0039: smolmachines Capability-Block Remediation
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #136
+
+## Summary
+
+Make capability-block remediation backend-aware. Today the dashboard approval
+path calls Docker-only teardown and apply code regardless of which backend
+created the bottle. Either implement smolmachines remediation or add a clean
+disable/unsupported path so operators never get a partial Docker teardown
+against a smolmachines slug.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/cli/dashboard.py` dispatches every capability-block approval to
+`bot_bottle/backend/docker/capability_apply.py`. That code snapshots with
+`docker cp`, pushes via `docker exec`, rewrites a Dockerfile override, and
+removes Docker containers and networks. It does not stop or delete a smolvm
+machine.
+
+smolmachines bottles still receive the capability-block supervise tool through
+`backend/smolmachines/provision/supervise.py`, so agents can queue a
+remediation the host cannot correctly apply. A partial Docker teardown against
+a smolmachines slug corrupts neither backend cleanly.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Capability-block approval is routed to backend-specific code.
+- For the smolmachines backend, either:
+  a. A real remediation implementation that stops the VM, applies the
+     capability change, and restarts correctly; or
+  b. A clean unsupported response that tells the operator the action cannot
+     be taken and leaves the bottle in a consistent state.
+- If option (b): smolmachines agents do not receive the capability-block tool,
+  so the operator is never prompted for an action that will fail.
+- Unit tests cover the dispatch logic and the smolmachines path.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to the Docker capability-apply path.
+- No changes to other supervise tools (cred-block, pipelock-block).
+- No changes to manifest or egress configuration.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/cli/dashboard.py` approval dispatch.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/provision/supervise.py` tool registration.
+- New or updated backend-specific capability apply/disable module for
+  smolmachines.
+- Unit tests for dispatch routing and smolmachines path.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changes to `backend/docker/capability_apply.py` internals.
+- Integration tests that exercise a live smolmachines VM remediation.
+
+## Design
+
+Introduce a backend-aware dispatch at the approval call site. Each backend
+exposes a capability remediation entry point; the dashboard calls the one that
+matches the bottle's backend. If the backend does not support remediation,
+the entry point returns a structured error that the dashboard surfaces as an
+operator message without attempting any teardown.
+
+If option (b) is chosen initially, suppress capability-block registration in
+`smolmachines/provision/supervise.py` so agents never see the tool.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit test that approval dispatch selects the smolmachines path for a
+  smolmachines bottle and the Docker path for a Docker bottle.
+- Unit test for the smolmachines path (unsupported response or real apply).
+- Regression test that Docker approval still calls `capability_apply.py`.
+
+Run:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`

+## Open Questions

+- Is a real smolmachines capability-apply implementation in scope for this PRD,
+  or should it be deferred to a follow-on after PRD 0040 lands?

+# PRD 0040: Backend-Aware Resume and Dashboard Reattach
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #137
+
+## Summary
+
+Persist the backend name in `BottleMetadata` and thread it through `resume` and
+dashboard reattach so both flows construct the correct backend bottle without
+relying on env overrides or defaulting to Docker.
+
+## Problem
+
+`BottleMetadata` records identity, agent, cwd, started_at, and compose project,
+but not the backend name. Without it:
+
+- `cli/resume.py` cannot select the right backend from a preserved state dir
+  alone; operators must remember to set `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines`
+  separately.
+- `cli/dashboard.py` `_bottle_for_slug` constructs a `DockerBottle` for any
+  externally discovered slug, so reattaching to a live smolmachines agent
+  from the dashboard sends Docker commands to a smolvm machine.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `BottleMetadata` includes the backend name, written at bottle creation time
+  for both Docker and smolmachines.
+- `cli resume` reads the persisted backend name and constructs the correct
+  bottle type without requiring an env override.
+- Dashboard reattach (`_bottle_for_slug`) reads the persisted backend name and
+  constructs the correct bottle type.
+- Existing Docker bottles without a persisted backend name fall back to Docker
+  (backward-compatible default).
+- Unit tests cover write, read, backward-compatible fallback, and both
+  resume/reattach code paths.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to manifest or egress configuration.
+- No new CLI flags (backend selection at resume time should be automatic).
+- No smolmachines capability-apply implementation (see PRD 0039).
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/backend/docker/bottle_state.py` `BottleMetadata` schema and
+  write path.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/docker/bottle.py` and
+  `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/bottle.py` metadata write at creation.
+- `bot_bottle/cli/resume.py` backend selection from metadata.
+- `bot_bottle/cli/dashboard.py` `_bottle_for_slug` backend selection.
+- Unit tests covering the above.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Migration tooling for existing state dirs.
+- Integration tests that exercise full resume across process restarts.
+
+## Design
+
+Add a `backend` field to `BottleMetadata` with a default of `"docker"` for
+backward compatibility. Both `DockerBottle` and `SmolmachinesBottle` write
+their backend name into metadata at creation time.
+
+`resume` reads the metadata before constructing the bottle object and selects
+the appropriate backend class. `_bottle_for_slug` does the same. A helper
+function in the metadata module can encapsulate the backend-name-to-class
+mapping so the logic is not duplicated.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit tests for `BottleMetadata` serialisation with and without the backend
+  field.
+- Unit tests for the backward-compatible default.
+- Unit tests for `resume` selecting smolmachines vs Docker from metadata.

+# PRD 0041: Git HTTP Request Bounds
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #138
+
+## Summary
+
+Add Content-Length validation and a body-size cap to `git_http_backend.py` so malformed or oversized smart-HTTP requests fail cleanly rather than crashing the handler or exhausting memory.
+
+## Problem
+
+`bot_bottle/git_http_backend.py` calls `int(self.headers.get("Content-Length", 0))` without catching `ValueError`. A request with a non-numeric Content-Length raises an unhandled exception in the request handler.
+
+The handler reads the full declared length into memory before passing the body to `git http-backend` with no upper bound. A local or compromised client can force arbitrarily high memory use. For comparison, `supervise_server.py` caps request bodies at 1 MiB.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- A missing or non-numeric Content-Length returns HTTP 400.
+- A negative Content-Length returns HTTP 400.
+- A body larger than the cap (1 MiB, matching `supervise_server.py`) returns HTTP 413.
+- Valid Git smart-HTTP pushes and fetches continue to work.
+- Unit tests cover: missing length, non-numeric length, negative length, over-cap length, and a valid push/fetch passthrough.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to git-gate authentication or route logic.
+- No changes to `supervise_server.py`.
+- No streaming / chunked-transfer-encoding support.
+- No TLS changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/git_http_backend.py` request parsing and body reading.
+- Unit tests in `tests/unit/test_git_http_backend.py`.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Integration tests that drive a real Git client through the handler.
+
+## Design
+
+Wrap the Content-Length parse in a try/except and return 400 on `ValueError`. Add an explicit check for negative values. After parsing, compare the declared length against a module-level `MAX_BODY_BYTES` constant (default 1 MiB) and return 413 if exceeded. Read exactly `min(content_length, MAX_BODY_BYTES)` bytes.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit tests using `unittest.mock` to drive the handler with crafted headers.

+# PRD 0042: smolmachines Cross-Backend Parity Tests
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #139
+
+## Summary
+
+Add tests that prove secrets, forwarded env, resume, and remediation behave
+equivalently across Docker and smolmachines backends. The fixes in PRDs
+0038–0040 are unverifiable without this coverage.
+
+## Problem
+
+The existing unit suite is broad but backend-specific. There are no tests that
+run the same scenario against both Docker and smolmachines and assert the
+outcomes match. A regression in one backend goes undetected until a live run,
+and PRDs 0038–0040 can each pass their own unit tests while the backends still
+diverge at the integration boundary.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- A parity test suite that covers at least:
+  - Secret env injection: `?prompt` and `${HOST_VAR}` entries produce the same
+    guest env on both backends.
+  - Forwarded env: literal manifest env values reach the guest on both backends.
+  - Resume: a preserved bottle state dir round-trips correctly on both backends
+    (relies on PRD 0040 metadata).
+  - Remediation: capability-block approval routes to the correct backend handler
+    (relies on PRD 0039 dispatch).
+- Each scenario is parameterised so a failure names the backend that regressed.
+- Tests run without a live VM or Docker daemon (mock or stub backends).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No end-to-end agent execution tests.
+- No performance or load tests.
+- No changes to production code (test-only PRD).
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- New test file(s) under `tests/unit/` for parity scenarios.
+- Stub or mock implementations of smolmachines and Docker backends as needed.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changes to `bot_bottle/` production code.
+- CI infrastructure changes beyond adding the new test file to the discover
+  invocation.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- PRD 0038 should land before the env parity tests are finalised.
+- PRDs 0039 and 0040 should land before the remediation and resume scenarios
+  are finalised; stubs can be written speculatively beforehand.
+
+## Design
+
+Parameterise each scenario over a list of backend factory functions. Each
+factory returns a bottle instance wired to a stub subprocess layer. The test
+body is backend-agnostic: it calls the same public API, captures the same
+observable output, and asserts equality.
+
+For env scenarios, capture the argv or env-file content passed to the guest
+and compare against resolved manifest values. For resume, write metadata with
+one backend class and read it back to verify correct selection. For remediation,
+assert dispatch selects the per-backend handler.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Run as part of the standard unit discover:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`
+
+Or directly:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest tests.unit.test_backend_parity`
+
+## Open Questions
+
+- Should parity tests live under `tests/unit/` (mock-based) or
+  `tests/integration/` (live infra)? Mock-based is preferred to keep CI simple.

+# PRD 0043: Sidecar Pipe Lifecycle Cleanup
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #140
+
+## Summary
+
+Close the unclosed child stdout pipe file descriptors that `sidecar_init.py`
+leaks during restart and shutdown paths, eliminating `ResourceWarning` noise
+and tightening the process lifecycle.
+
+## Problem
+
+Unit tests for `sidecar_init.py` pass, but restart and shutdown cases emit
+`ResourceWarning: unclosed file <_io.BufferedReader …>` for child stdout pipes,
+originating around lines 141 and 273. The warnings indicate the restart path
+leaks pipe file descriptors: a pipe opened for a stopped or replaced child is
+not explicitly closed before the next child is spawned or before the supervisor
+exits.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `python3 -m unittest tests.unit.test_sidecar_init` produces no
+  `ResourceWarning` output.
+- Pipe file descriptors for stopped or replaced child processes are explicitly
+  closed in the restart path.
+- Pipe file descriptors for all children are explicitly closed in the shutdown
+  path.
+- No change to the external signal or exit-code contract from PRD 0034.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to restart or shutdown policy (coalescing, ordering, timeout).
+- No changes to egress, pipelock, git-gate, or supervise daemon argv.
+- No new runtime dependencies.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/sidecar_init.py` pipe open/close lifecycle in `_Supervisor`.
+- Unit tests in `tests/unit/test_sidecar_init.py` asserting no leaked pipes.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changing how pumping threads read from pipes.
+- Integration tests that start a live sidecar container.
+
+## Design
+
+Audit every code path in `_Supervisor` where a child process is stopped,
+replaced, or reaches end-of-life, and ensure the corresponding stdout pipe is
+explicitly closed before spawning a replacement or exiting the supervisor loop.
+
+Where a pumping thread holds a reference to the pipe, coordinate closure so the
+thread sees EOF and exits cleanly rather than blocking indefinitely.
+
+## Testing Strategy

+# PRD 0044: Print Parity Across Backends
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-claude
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #96
+
+## Summary
+
+Hoist `git_gate_plan`, `egress_plan`, `agent_provision`, and `supervise_plan`
+from the concrete `BottlePlan` subclasses up to `BottlePlan`, and implement
+`print` concretely there. This eliminates the two per-backend output divergences
+and ensures any future backend gets correct preflight rendering for free.
+
+## Problem
+
+`BottlePlan.print` is `@abstractmethod`, so each backend provides its own
+implementation. The two current implementations have drifted:
+
+| Field | Docker | smolmachines |
+|---|---|---|
+| git gate lines | `upstream_host:upstream_port` from resolved `git_gate_plan.upstreams` | `Name → Upstream` from manifest `bottle.git` |
+| egress lines | `host [auth:scheme]` | `host` only (auth dropped) |
+
+The smolmachines docstring says "same shape as the Docker backend's so operators
+see one format across backends" — that intent is real but nothing enforces it.
+
+The env_names divergence previously noted in this issue was resolved by PRD 0038
+(smolmachines env contract): `resolved.forwarded` is now merged into
+`agent_provision.guest_env` at prepare time on both backends, so displayed env
+names are equivalent.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `BottlePlan` carries `git_gate_plan`, `egress_plan`, `agent_provision`, and
+  `supervise_plan` as concrete fields; subclasses no longer declare them
+  independently.
+- `BottlePlan.print` is a concrete method; subclasses have no `print`
+  implementation of their own.
+- Both backends render git gate lines as `name → upstream_host:upstream_port`
+  (using `git_gate_plan.upstreams`), not the manifest-level URL.
+- Both backends render egress lines as `host [auth:scheme]` (dropping the
+  annotation only when `auth_scheme` is empty).
+- Unit tests assert the unified output for both backends from a single shared
+  test helper.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No changes to the Docker or smolmachines launch, prepare, or cleanup paths.
+- No changes to how env values are resolved or injected (that is PRD 0038).
+- No changes to the manifest schema or `GitEntry`.
+- No new CLI flags or dashboard changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- `bot_bottle/backend/__init__.py` — add `git_gate_plan`, `egress_plan`,
+  `agent_provision`, and `supervise_plan` fields to `BottlePlan`; replace
+  `@abstractmethod print` with a concrete implementation.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/docker/bottle_plan.py` — remove the four hoisted fields
+  and the `print` method.
+- `bot_bottle/backend/smolmachines/bottle_plan.py` — remove the four hoisted
+  fields and the `print` method.
+- `tests/unit/` — add or update tests asserting unified preflight output; a
+  shared helper can build a minimal plan fixture for each backend and assert
+  the same lines appear.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Changes to `bot_bottle/backend/print_util.py` beyond what the new `print`
+  implementation requires.
+- Changes to `BottleCleanupPlan.print` or any other print method.
+- Integration tests that launch a real bottle.
+
+## Design
+
+Move the four fields that both concrete subclasses already declare —
+`git_gate_plan: GitGatePlan`, `egress_plan: EgressPlan`,
+`agent_provision: AgentProvisionPlan`, `supervise_plan: SupervisePlan | None`
+— up to `BottlePlan`. Both backends' `prepare` paths already produce these with
+the same types, so no prepare-time changes are needed.
+
+Replace the `@abstractmethod` `print` with a concrete implementation on
+`BottlePlan` that:
+
+1. Builds `env_names` from `bottle.env.keys() | agent_provision.guest_env.keys()`
+   filtered through `agent_provision.hidden_env_names`.
+2. Builds git gate lines from `git_gate_plan.upstreams` as
+   `f"{u.name} → {u.upstream_host}:{u.upstream_port}"`.
+3. Builds egress lines from `egress_plan.routes` as
+   `f"{r.host} [auth:{r.auth_scheme}]"` when `r.auth_scheme` is non-empty,
+   else `r.host`.
+4. Renders the standard two-column preflight block (leading blank line, agent,
+   provider, env, skills, bottle, git identity, git gate, egress, trailing blank
+   line).
+
+Docker's `forwarded_env` keys are already merged into `agent_provision.guest_env`
+via the `agent_provision_plan` builder, so no special handling is needed for
+env_names.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Add a shared fixture builder (e.g. `make_plan(backend)`) in a new or existing
+  unit test module that constructs a minimal `DockerBottlePlan` and
+  `SmolmachinesBottlePlan` from the same spec and plan fields.
+- Assert that `plan.print(remote_control=False)` produces identical git gate and
+  egress lines for both backends given the same `git_gate_plan` and
+  `egress_plan`.
+- Test the `auth_scheme` annotation: present when non-empty, absent otherwise.
+- Test git gate rendering: `name → host:port` format.
+
+Run:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`

+
+## Summary
+
+Add a backend-neutral `WorkspacePlan` that describes how the operator's current
+workspace is represented inside a bottle. Docker and smolmachines should both
+use this plan for workspace path, working directory, content copy, `.git` copy,
+ownership, and provider trust configuration instead of rediscovering
+`/home/node/workspace` in separate launch and provisioning code paths.
+
+## Problem
+
+The current `--cwd` behavior is spread across backend-specific code:
+
+- Docker builds a derived image that copies the host cwd to
+  `/home/node/workspace`, sets that as `WORKDIR`, and patches Claude trust in
+  the generated Dockerfile.
+- Docker git provisioning separately copies `.git` into
+  `/home/node/workspace/.git`.
+- smolmachines git provisioning reconstructs `<guest_home>/workspace/.git`, but
+  does not copy the full working tree.
+- Codex provider setup trusts `guest_home`, not the copied workspace path.
+
+These details create backend drift and make provider-specific workspace fixes
+easy to hard-code in the wrong layer.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `BottleSpec` remains the CLI intent shape (`copy_cwd`, `user_cwd`), while a
+  resolved `WorkspacePlan` carries the backend-neutral guest workspace contract.
+- `BottlePlan` exposes `workspace_plan` so shared and backend-specific
+  provisioning paths consume one resolved object.
+- The default in-bottle workspace path remains `/home/node/workspace` when
+  `--cwd` is enabled.
+- Docker uses `WorkspacePlan` when building the derived cwd image and when
+  provisioning cwd `.git` state.
+- smolmachines copies the host cwd contents into the same logical workspace
+  path and uses `WorkspacePlan` when provisioning cwd `.git` state.
+- Provider trust configuration is written for the workspace path when `--cwd`
+  is enabled, and for the guest home when `--cwd` is disabled.
+- Unit tests cover plan resolution, provider trust path selection, Docker
+  derived image rendering, and both backends' `.git` copy targets.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No new user-facing flags for custom workspace paths.
+- No manifest schema changes.
+- No redesign of git-gate or `bottle.git` entries.
+- No switch from Docker image-copy to bind-mount.
+- No unrelated provider auth changes.
+
+## Scope
+
+In scope:
+
+- Add a small workspace planning module.
+- Add `workspace_plan` to `BottlePlan` and populate it in Docker and
+  smolmachines prepare paths.
+- Thread the trusted project path into provider provisioning.
+- Replace hard-coded `/home/node/workspace` cwd copy and `.git` copy sites with
+  `WorkspacePlan` values.
+- Copy full host cwd contents for smolmachines `--cwd` parity.
+- Update focused unit tests.
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- Integration tests that launch real Docker containers or smolmachines VMs.
+- Path customization in the bottle manifest or CLI.
+- Runtime synchronization after bottle launch; this remains a launch-time copy.
+
+## Design
+
+Add `bot_bottle/workspace.py`:
+
+```python
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class WorkspacePlan:
+    enabled: bool
+    host_path: Path
+    guest_home: str
+    guest_path: str
+    workdir: str
+    owner: str = "node:node"
+    mode: str = "755"
+    copy_contents: bool = True
+    copy_git: bool = True
+    has_host_git_dir: bool = False
+```
+
+`workspace_plan(spec, guest_home)` resolves:
+
+- `enabled` from `spec.copy_cwd`.
+- `host_path` from `spec.user_cwd`.
+- `guest_path` as `<guest_home>/workspace` when enabled, else `guest_home`.
+- `workdir` as `guest_path` when enabled, else `guest_home`.
+- `has_host_git_dir` from `<host_path>/.git`.
+
+Backends resolve this in `prepare` using their existing guest-home knobs:
+
+- Docker: `BOT_BOTTLE_CONTAINER_HOME`, default `/home/node`.
+- smolmachines: `BOT_BOTTLE_GUEST_HOME`, default `/home/node`.
+
+`BottlePlan` carries the result so launch, git provisioning, and provider
+provisioning stop consulting `spec.copy_cwd` and hard-coded paths directly.
+
+### Docker
+
+Keep the current derived-image transport. Change
+`build_image_with_cwd(derived, base, cwd)` to accept a `WorkspacePlan` or
+explicit guest path/workdir fields, then render:
+
+- `COPY --chown=node:node . <workspace_plan.guest_path>`
+- `WORKDIR <workspace_plan.workdir>`
+
+Claude trust should move out of the generated cwd Dockerfile and into provider
+provisioning so Docker and smolmachines share the same provider trust behavior.
+
+### smolmachines
+
+Copy host cwd contents into `workspace_plan.guest_path` during provisioning or
+VM initialization, then chown the resulting workspace to `node:node`. Continue
+to copy `.git` through the existing smolvm transport, but target
+`<workspace_plan.guest_path>/.git`.
+
+This intentionally closes the current parity gap where smolmachines receives
+repo metadata without the working tree.
+
+### Provider Trust
+
+Extend provider planning with a `trusted_project_path` argument. Callers pass
+`workspace_plan.workdir`.
+
+Codex writes:
+
+```toml
+[projects."<trusted_project_path>"]
+trust_level = "trusted"
+```
+
+Claude writes or updates `.claude.json` so `projects` includes
+`trusted_project_path` with `hasTrustDialogAccepted: true`. This provisioning
+belongs in `AgentProvisionPlan` so both backends apply it through their existing
+provider file-copy primitives.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+- Unit-test `workspace_plan()` for enabled and disabled cwd, guest-home
+  overrides, and `.git` detection.
+- Unit-test Docker cwd image rendering to prove it uses the plan's guest path
+  and workdir.
+- Unit-test provider planning for Codex and Claude trusted project paths.
+- Unit-test Docker and smolmachines git provisioning targets using mocked copy
+  and exec primitives.
+- Unit-test smolmachines workspace content copy target and ownership command.
+
+Run:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`

+# PRD 0046: Remove Git Remote Host Overrides
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis-codex
+- **Created:** 2026-06-02
+- **Issue:** #152
+
+## Summary
+
+Remove git remote host override plumbing from bottle manifests and git-gate
+startup. Git remote declarations should describe upstream repositories and the
+git-gate credential material needed to mirror them; they should not also
+configure hosts-file behavior for sidecars.
+
+## Problem
+
+The git remote model currently has a hosts override path that can make a git
+upstream resolve differently inside the git-gate sidecar. That is surprising
+because the same hostname may also be used for HTTP/API traffic that should keep
+using the normal egress DNS and policy path.
+
+Keeping host resolution in the git remote model makes repository routing,
+sidecar hosts files, and egress behavior feel coupled even when the operator
+only meant to configure git-gate.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- Git remote manifest parsing no longer stores host override data.
+- Git-gate upstream plans no longer carry host override data.
+- Docker compose rendering no longer emits sidecar `extra_hosts` entries from
+  git remote declarations.
+- Smolmachines bundle launch planning has no unused host override path for
+  git-gate.
+- Focused unit tests cover the absence of sidecar `extra_hosts` for git
+  upstreams.
+- Current user-facing documentation no longer advertises git remote host
+  overrides.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No replacement hosts-file override feature.
+- No SSH client config provisioning.
+- No change to git-gate's SSH credential or known-host handling.
+- No change to egress DNS, HTTP auth, or pipelock routing semantics.
+
+## Design
+
+Remove the host override field from the internal `GitEntry` and
+`GitGateUpstream` models. Remove the git-gate aggregation helper and the Docker
+compose code that converted those values into sidecar `extra_hosts`.
+
+The manifest parser does not need a migration-specific error path. After this
+change, the old hosts override key has no internal model field and no runtime
+effect.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Run:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit`
+
+## Open Questions
+
+None.

+# PRD 0047: Git-gate Manifest Redesign
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-06-03
+- **Issue:** #160
+
+## Summary
+
+Replace the `git` top-level key in bottle and agent manifests with `git-gate`,
+consolidating git-identity configuration (`user`) and git-gate sidecar
+configuration (`repos`) under a single section. Within `repos`, field names
+move to lowercase snake_case and the local repo name is promoted to the YAML
+key. The change removes the ambiguity in the current `git` block: its fields
+are not generic git or SSH config — they are specifically the credential,
+host-trust, and identity material that is managed in relation to git-gate.
+
+## Problem
+
+The current bottle manifest uses a `git` top-level key that mixes two concerns:
+
+- `git.user` — `git config --global user.name / user.email` identity, which
+  the provisioner injects into the agent's shell.
+- `git.remotes` — upstream URL, identity file, and host key material that the
+  git-gate sidecar consumes; the agent never sees these values.
+
+That grouping suggests the `remotes` entries behave like an SSH config or a
+generic `.gitconfig` remote declaration. They do not. The gate reads the
+credential material to push upstream after gitleaks passes; the agent's
+`.gitconfig` receives only the `insteadOf` rewrite that redirects traffic
+through the gate. Nothing in the current key name or field names signals this.
+
+Splitting `git.user` into a separate section from `git.remotes` also doesn't
+help: both concepts exist because of git-gate, and keeping them under a single
+`git-gate` key makes their relationship and purpose explicit.
+
+The field names inside each remote entry also use PascalCase (`Name`,
+`Upstream`, `IdentityFile`, `KnownHostKey`), inconsistent with every other
+manifest section, which uses snake_case.
+
+The current `git.remotes` dict is keyed by upstream host, which works for
+simple remotes but forces a separate `Name` field to give the gate's bare repo
+a local label. The host key and `Name` field are often redundant or confusing
+(e.g., IP-literal upstreams where the key carries no semantic meaning).
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- `git-gate` is accepted as a top-level bottle and agent key; `git` is removed
+  from both allowed-key sets.
+- `git-gate.repos` is a named map where each key is the local repo name
+  exposed by the gate (bottle-only; rejected at the agent level).
+- Each entry in `git-gate.repos` accepts exactly: `url` (required), `identity`
+  (required), `host_key` (optional).
+- `git-gate.user` replaces `git.user` on both bottles and agents, with the
+  same `name` / `email` fields and overlay semantics.
+- The manifest parser rejects `git.remotes` and `git.user` with errors that
+  point to the new keys.
+- `GitEntry` internal fields are updated to match the new names; all callers
+  (provisioner, git-gate render, plan, tests) compile and pass.
+- Existing unit tests in `tests/unit/test_manifest_git.py` and
+  `tests/unit/test_manifest_git_user.py` are rewritten to use the new YAML
+  shape; all other manifest unit tests remain green.
+- The demo manifest (`bot-bottle.demo.json`) and any examples using the old
+  shape are updated.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- No change to `git.user` / `git-gate.user` semantics or field names (`name`,
+  `email`).
+- No change to git-gate runtime behavior (mirroring, gitleaks, access-hook
+  refresh).
+- No change to the `insteadOf` rewrite the provisioner emits.
+- No migration shim: the old `git.*` shape is rejected immediately with clear
+  error messages pointing to the new keys.
+- No change to how agent-level user config overlays the bottle-level value.
+
+## Design
+
+### New manifest shape
+
+**Before** (bottle frontmatter):
+
+```yaml
+git:
+  user:
+    name: implementer-bot
+    email: eric+implementer@dideric.is
+  remotes:
+    gitea.dideric.is:
+      Name: bot-bottle
+      Upstream: ssh://git@gitea.dideric.is:30009/didericis/bot-bottle.git
+      IdentityFile: ~/.ssh/gitea-delos-2.pem
+      KnownHostKey: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
+```
+
+**After**:
+
+```yaml
+git-gate:
+  user:
+    name: implementer-bot
+    email: eric+implementer@dideric.is
+  repos:
+    bot-bottle:
+      url: ssh://git@gitea.dideric.is:30009/didericis/bot-bottle.git
+      identity: ~/.ssh/gitea-delos-2.pem
+      host_key: "ssh-rsa AAAA..."
+```
+
+`git-gate` is the single optional top-level key for all git configuration.
+Bottles that previously used only `git.user` now use only `git-gate.user`;
+those that used only `git.remotes` now use only `git-gate.repos`.
+
+### Key-name-as-repo-name
+
+The YAML key in `git-gate.repos` becomes the local repo name (previously
+`Name`). The upstream host is no longer the primary key; the provisioner and
+gate derive it from the `url` field during parse. IP-literal upstreams work
+without an artificial host-as-key constraint.
+
+### Field renames
+
+| Old field | New field |
+|-----------|-----------|
+| `Name` (from dict key) | YAML key in `repos` |
+| `Upstream` | `url` |
+| `IdentityFile` | `identity` |
+| `KnownHostKey` | `host_key` |
+
+### Parser changes
+
+- `manifest_schema.py`: replace `"git"` with `"git-gate"` in `BOTTLE_KEYS`
+  and `AGENT_KEYS_OPTIONAL`.
+- `manifest.py`: replace `_parse_git_config` with `_parse_git_gate_config`
+  that validates both `user` and `repos` subkeys. Update `Bottle.from_dict`
+  and `Agent.from_dict` to call it for the `"git-gate"` key.
+- `Agent.from_dict` continues to reject `repos` at the agent level with a
+  clear error.
+- Remove `from_remote_dict` and update `GitEntry._from_object` to accept the
+  new field names. Internal dataclass field names (`UpstreamUser`, etc.) are
+  unchanged — they are internal plumbing, not user-facing.
+- Any existing `"git"` key raises a targeted error:
+
+  ```
+  bottle 'dev' uses 'git' which has been replaced by 'git-gate' (PRD 0047).
+  Move git.user → git-gate.user and git.remotes → git-gate.repos.
+  ```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+Run:
+
+```
+python3 -m unittest discover -s tests/unit
+```
+
+Test files to update:
+
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_git.py` — rewrite fixtures and assertions to use
+  `git-gate.repos` / lowercase fields. Cover: minimal entry, optional
+  `host_key`, missing `url`, missing `identity`, unknown key, IP-literal
+  upstreams, duplicate name rejection, old `git.remotes` and bare `git` key
+  both rejected.
+- `tests/unit/test_manifest_git_user.py` and
+  `tests/unit/test_manifest_agent_git_user.py` — update fixtures to use
+  `git-gate.user` at both bottle and agent level.
