docs: switch cred-proxy to sidecar shape

Make the cred-proxy a per-bottle sidecar container on the bottle's
internal docker network instead of a root-owned process inside the
agent container. The boundary becomes container namespace
separation, matching pipelock and git-gate. Update summary,
problem, goals, in-scope, architecture diagram, components,
existing code touched, external deps, and open questions; add a
"Considered alternatives" section recording the rejected
in-container shape.

+# PRD 0010: Credential proxy for agent-bound API tokens
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-05-13
+
+## Summary
+
+Per-bottle sidecar container that holds API tokens (Anthropic
+OAuth, GitHub PAT, Gitea PAT, npm token). The agent container
+keeps only URLs in its environ; the sidecar injects the right
+`Authorization` header and forwards over TLS to the upstream. The
+boundary is the container line — PID, mount, and network
+namespaces separate the agent's container from the sidecar's, so
+from inside the agent the sidecar's processes are not visible in
+`/proc`, cannot be `ptrace`'d, and share no memory. Reaching the
+sidecar's environ requires escaping the agent container — the same
+threshold pipelock and git-gate already rely on.
+
+AWS / SigV4 is explicitly out of scope — it is per-request signing,
+not header injection, and does not fit this proxy's shape. If a
+bottle needs AWS credentials later, that lives in a separate PRD.
+
+## Problem
+
+Today `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` (and any `bottle.env` secrets such
+as a Gitea PAT, GitHub PAT, or npm token) gets `docker run -e`'d
+straight into the agent's environ. Inside the bottle the agent
+runs as `node` with `--dangerously-skip-permissions`; its Bash
+tool can do `printenv`, `cat /proc/self/environ`, or
+`node -e 'console.log(process.env)'` and capture every value into
+the conversation. From there a prompt-injected or hijacked agent
+can exfil over any allowed egress (api.anthropic.com itself if
+nothing else).
+
+Linux has no per-env-var ACL — once a variable is in a process's
+environ, the process and its descendants own it. The credible
+boundary is container-level: hold the credential in a separate
+container the agent cannot reach. Default Docker's namespace
+isolation enforces that — the same property pipelock and git-gate
+already rely on.
+
+The research note
+[`agent-credential-proxy-landscape.md`](../research/agent-credential-proxy-landscape.md)
+surveys the existing tools and concludes that a small
+claude-bottle-specific reverse proxy is less work and less risk
+than either adopting nono (alpha, unaudited) or Infisical Agent
+Vault (TLS-MITM topology that doubles up on pipelock's CA stack).
+This PRD is the build.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+Each test runs inside a bottle whose manifest declares the four
+supported kinds (anthropic, github, gitea, npm):
+
+1. **No plaintext tokens in the agent's environ.** `printenv` and
+   `cat /proc/self/environ` from the agent's shell return only
+   URLs pointing at `cred-proxy:<PORT>/...`. None of the
+   `bottle.tokens[].TokenRef` values appear.
+2. **Container boundary holds.** From the agent's shell, `ps aux`
+   does not list the cred-proxy process; there is no `/proc/<X>`
+   entry for it to read. The sidecar's hostname (`cred-proxy`)
+   resolves only on the bottle's internal network — from a
+   different bottle or from the host, the name does not resolve.
+3. **Anthropic API works.** `claude` makes a successful streaming
+   tool-use round-trip via `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` →
+   `cred-proxy:<PORT>/anthropic`. SSE chunks arrive without
+   buffering; `anthropic-version`, `anthropic-beta`, and
+   `X-Claude-Code-Session-Id` headers round-trip untouched.
+4. **Git push to declared remotes works.** `git push` against a
+   `bottle.tokens[].Kind: github` or `gitea` upstream succeeds;
+   the upstream sees the gate's token, not the agent's.
+5. **npm install works.** `npm install <public-package>`
+   succeeds against the registry pointed at the proxy. A scoped
+   install that requires the token (e.g. against a private
+   registry) also succeeds.
+6. **Wrong token rejected at the source, not silently swapped.**
+   If the agent tries to send its own `Authorization: …` header,
+   the proxy strips and replaces with the configured one. A
+   manifest token revoked at the upstream produces a 401 to the
+   agent, not a 5xx.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- **AWS / SigV4.** Per-request signing is a different shape; a
+  bearer-injecting proxy doesn't help. Hold for a future PRD
+  (likely an IMDS emulator sidecar handing out short-lived STS
+  credentials).
+- **DB-backed credential store.** Flat env / mode-600 file only.
+  The LiteLLM CVE-2026-42208 incident is the cautionary tale:
+  any DB-backed credential gateway is itself a high-value attack
+  target.
+- **Generic LLM-gateway features.** No cost tracking, no
+  fallbacks, no virtual keys, no multi-tenant routing, no usage
+  metering. The proxy is a credential-injection trust endpoint,
+  not a gateway.
+- **Subsuming pipelock.** pipelock keeps its egress-allowlist
+  role. It drops the `api.anthropic.com` TLS-MITM job because
+  cred-proxy is now the trust endpoint for that host; everything
+  else pipelock does stays.
+- **TLS interception inside the bottle.** The agent talks plain
+  HTTP to loopback; cred-proxy speaks real HTTPS outbound. No
+  container-local CA, no `golang/go#28866` loopback workaround.
+- **Cross-bottle credential sharing.** One proxy per bottle, same
+  one-sidecar-per-agent posture as pipelock and git-gate.
+- **`claude --bare` mode.** Reads only `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, not
+  the OAuth token. Not in claude-bottle's flow today.
+- **MCP-server tokens, package-installer tokens for languages
+  beyond npm.** PyPI / Bun / cargo can land in a follow-up if
+  needed; the routing pattern generalizes.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+- **Manifest field.** `bottle.tokens: [TokenEntry, ...]`. Each
+  entry carries `Kind` (`anthropic` | `github` | `gitea` |
+  `npm`), an optional `Url` (required for `gitea`, defaulted for
+  the others), and `TokenRef` (the name of a host env var the
+  CLI resolves at launch time).
+- **cred-proxy sidecar.** Runs as its own container on the
+  bottle's internal docker network with hostname `cred-proxy`,
+  listening on `0.0.0.0:<PORT>` bound to the internal interface.
+  No host port published. Holds the tokens in the sidecar
+  container's environ — never on argv, never written to disk.
+  Per-`Kind` route handler: inject the right header, forward
+  over TLS, stream the response back without buffering.
+- **Agent-side rewrites.** Provisioner writes:
+  - `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://cred-proxy:<PORT>/anthropic` to
+    the agent's environ
+  - `~/.npmrc` `registry = http://cred-proxy:<PORT>/npm/`
+  - `~/.gitconfig` `[url …] insteadOf = …` for each declared
+    `github` / `gitea` upstream
+  - `~/.config/tea/config.yml` with the proxy URL for each
+    declared `gitea` entry
+- **Sidecar lifecycle.** Mirrors `DockerGitGate` /
+  `DockerPipelockProxy` in shape: `prepare` is host-side and
+  side-effect-free; `start` does `docker create` + `docker start`
+  on the bottle's internal network with hostname `cred-proxy`;
+  `stop` is idempotent `docker rm -f`. Container name:
+  `claude-bottle-cred-proxy-<slug>`. The agent container starts
+  after the sidecar is up so DNS resolution succeeds on the
+  agent's first call.
+- **pipelock interop.** cred-proxy's outbound HTTPS still
+  traverses pipelock — pipelock keeps its egress-allowlist role
+  for the four upstream hosts. Drop `api.anthropic.com` from
+  pipelock's TLS-MITM list (cred-proxy is now the trust endpoint
+  for that host); the host stays on the plain HTTPS allowlist.
+- **Plan rendering.** `bottle_plan.py` and the y/N preflight
+  show: which tokens are configured (kind + ref name, not the
+  value), the proxy port, the routes the proxy will publish.
+- **Drop the existing `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` forward in
+  `prepare.py`.** Today it lands in the agent's environ; once
+  this PRD ships, it lands in the cred-proxy sidecar's environ
+  instead.
+- **Tests.** Integration tests for each of the six success
+  criteria; unit tests for manifest parsing, route table
+  generation, header injection.
+
+### Out of scope
+
+- AWS / SigV4 (see Non-goals).
+- Per-method / per-path allowlist *inside* a kind. Defer to a
+  follow-up once observed traffic stabilizes.
+- Replacing `bottle.env` for non-token secrets. The proxy
+  handles the four kinds listed above; other env vars keep their
+  current path.
+- Migrating an in-flight bottle from "token in agent env" to
+  "token via proxy" mid-session. Restart required.
+- Audit logging. The proxy doesn't write request logs in v1.
+  Add only if a concrete debugging need surfaces.

+
+### New components
+
+- **`claude_bottle/cred_proxy.py`** (new): abstract `CredProxy`
+  + `CredProxyPlan` dataclass. `prepare` is host-side and
+  side-effect-free; renders the route table and resolves
+  `TokenRef`s against host env. Mirrors the existing `GitGate` /
+  `Pipelock` shape.
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/cred_proxy.py`** (new):
+  `DockerCredProxy` concrete subclass. `start` does
+  `docker create` on the bottle's internal network with hostname
+  `cred-proxy`, copies the route-table file into the container,
+  then `docker start`. `stop` is idempotent `docker rm -f`.
+  Container name: `claude-bottle-cred-proxy-<slug>`.
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/provision/cred_proxy.py`**
+  (new): renders `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, `~/.npmrc`,
+  `~/.gitconfig` `insteadOf` blocks, and `~/.config/tea/config.yml`
+  into the agent's home for each declared kind — all pointing at
+  `http://cred-proxy:<PORT>/...`.
+- **cred-proxy image.** Minimal base + the proxy binary, no
+  shell. Pinned by digest, baked at build time. Footprint sized
+  to match git-gate's image rather than the full agent image.
+
+### Existing code touched
+
+- **`claude_bottle/manifest.py`** — add `TokenEntry`,
+  `Bottle.tokens: tuple[TokenEntry, ...] = ()`, parse + validate
+  (at most one entry per `Kind` except `gitea`, which may
+  carry multiple Urls).
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/prepare.py`** — delete the
+  `CLAUDE_BOTTLE_OAUTH_TOKEN` → `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` branch
+  in the agent's forwarded env. The OAuth token is forwarded
+  into the cred-proxy sidecar's environ at sidecar `docker create`
+  time instead.
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/backend.py`** — instantiate
+  `DockerCredProxy` alongside `DockerPipelockProxy` and
+  `DockerGitGate`; thread its `prepare` / `start` / `stop`
+  through `resolve_plan` / `launch`.
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/launch.py`** — add cred-proxy
+  start/stop to the `ExitStack` alongside pipelock and git-gate;
+  the sidecar must be up before the agent container starts so
+  DNS resolution for `cred-proxy` succeeds on first contact.
+- **`claude_bottle/backend/docker/bottle_plan.py`** — new
+  `CredProxyPlan` field; preflight shows kind + ref name +
+  port + route table.
+- **`claude_bottle/pipelock.py`** — drop the `api.anthropic.com`
+  TLS-MITM branch; the host stays on the allowlist as a plain
+  HTTPS destination. Confirm the four upstream hosts are
+  allowlisted by default when `bottle.tokens` declares them.
+- **`README.md`** — replace the architecture diagram with the
+  one above; document the `bottle.tokens` field.
+- **`claude-bottle.example.json`** — add a `tokens` array to
+  one bottle showing each Kind.
+- **Tests** — new unit tests for manifest parsing, route table
+  generation, header injection; new integration tests for the
+  six success criteria. Delete the bits of `prepare.py` tests
+  that asserted on `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` landing in the
+  agent's env.
+
+### Data model changes
+
+```python
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class TokenEntry:
+    Kind: Literal["anthropic", "github", "gitea", "npm"]
+    TokenRef: str             # name of host env var
+    Url: str | None = None    # required for gitea; defaulted otherwise
+
+@dataclass(frozen=True)
+class Bottle:
+    ...
+    tokens: tuple[TokenEntry, ...] = ()
+```
+
+Validation:
+
+- `Kind` must be one of the four supported values.
+- `TokenRef` must resolve against `os.environ` at launch (fail
+  fast with a clear "host env var X is unset" if missing).
+- `gitea` entries require `Url`; others fall back to the
+  documented upstream.
+- At most one entry per `Kind` except `gitea`, which may have
+  multiple distinct `Url`s.
+- No silent overlap with `bottle.git` upstreams that already
+  flow through git-gate; if a `tokens[].Kind: github|gitea`
+  entry's `Url` collides with a `git[].Upstream`'s host, parse
+  fails with a "git-gate already brokers this remote, drop one"
+  hint. (Both paths broker credentials; doubling up is a
+  configuration smell, not a feature.)
+
+### Routing table
+
+| Kind      | Proxy path     | Upstream                | Header                     |
+|-----------|----------------|-------------------------|----------------------------|
+| anthropic | `/anthropic/`  | `api.anthropic.com`     | `Authorization: Bearer …`  |
+| github    | `/gh-api/`     | `api.github.com`        | `Authorization: Bearer …`  |
+| github    | `/gh-git/`     | `github.com`            | `Authorization: Bearer …`  |
+| gitea     | `/gitea/<Url>` | configured `Url`        | `Authorization: token …`   |
+| npm       | `/npm/`        | `registry.npmjs.org`    | `Authorization: Bearer …`  |
+
+Gitea uses `Authorization: token` rather than `Bearer` to
+sidestep `go-gitea/gitea#16734`. The proxy strips any incoming
+`Authorization` header before injecting its own — the agent
+cannot smuggle a stolen token through this path.
+
+### External dependencies
+
+The proxy binary. Two real options:
+
+- **Python (stdlib)** — `http.server` + `urllib`/`http.client`,
+  no new pip packages. Matches CLAUDE.md's "bash-first, low-deps"
+  posture. SSE pass-through is fiddly but doable.
+- **Go single binary** — cleaner SSE story, smaller runtime,
+  one static binary in a scratch/distroless image. New build
+  dependency.
+
+Default: Python in a minimal `python:3.X-slim` image (or alpine
+if we want smaller). Reconsider in the implementation PR if SSE
+behavior is troublesome under load.
+
+No new Python packages. No DB. No admin API. The proxy's
+configuration is a single mode-600 JSON file copied into the
+sidecar at `docker create` time and read by the proxy at startup
+from `/run/cred-proxy/routes.json`.
+
+## Future work
+
+- **AWS / SigV4.** Likely an IMDS emulator sidecar handing out
+  short-lived STS tokens. Different threat model (the agent
+  ends up holding the STS creds — the proxy just shortens
+  their lifetime). Separate PRD.
+- **Per-method / per-path allowlist** inside a kind. Once the
+  set of API operations claude actually performs is observed,
+  reject everything else. Narrows the within-allowlist surface.
+- **Short-lived token minting.** For services that support it
+  (GitHub Apps, GitLab project-access tokens, fine-grained
+  PATs with TTL), have the proxy mint a fresh per-session
+  child credential from a long-lived parent.
+- **Smolmachines colocation.** Same packing question as
+  pipelock / git-gate; under a future microVM backend the
+  cred-proxy could share a VM with the agent (today's per-bottle
+  network gives it its own container, not its own VM) or sit in
+  its own VM (stricter isolation, an extra TCP hop). Backend
+  decision, not a manifest decision.
+- **More kinds.** PyPI, Bun, cargo, Docker Hub. The routing
+  pattern generalizes; add as needed.
+
+## Considered alternatives
+
+### In-container proxy (root inside the agent container)
+
+Run cred-proxy as PID 1 of the agent container, listening on
+`127.0.0.1:<PORT>`, with claude exec'd as `node` (UID 1000) only
+after the proxy is bound. The boundary in that shape is the
+kernel's cross-UID `ptrace_may_access` check — `node` cannot read
+root's `/proc/<pid>/environ` and cannot `ptrace` attach.
+
+Pros: one less container per bottle; slightly faster bottle
+startup; no extra docker create/start/stop dance.
+
+Rejected because:
+
+- **Weaker isolation.** The boundary collapses to UID separation
+  alone. Any container-root compromise inside the agent (setuid
+  bug in the image, accidentally mounted docker socket, a kernel
+  CVE, accidental `--privileged`) reads the proxy's environ via
+  `/proc/<pid>/environ`. The sidecar's namespace separation
+  cannot be bypassed from inside the agent container without a
+  container escape.
+- **Inconsistent with the existing topology.** pipelock and
+  git-gate are already sidecars on the bottle's internal network.
+  cred-proxy slots into the same shape and reuses the same
+  lifecycle abstractions (`BottleBackend.prepare/start/stop`,
+  `ExitStack` ordering, plan rendering).
+- **Coupled to the agent image.** The proxy binary, its
+  entrypoint, and its priv-drop logic would all live in the
+  agent's Dockerfile. A sidecar image evolves independently —
+  agents can change base, language, or tooling without touching
+  the proxy.
+- **PID-1 babysitting.** The "proxy supervises, then `exec
+  setpriv → node`" entrypoint introduces a class of issues
+  (zombie reaping, signal forwarding, exit-code propagation) that
+  the sidecar shape avoids.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Field name.** `bottle.tokens` is the working name. The
+  research note used `bottle.forge` for the gitea/github
+  generalization, but "forge" doesn't fit `anthropic` or
+  `npm`. Alternatives: `bottle.brokered`, `bottle.upstreams`,
+  `bottle.cred_proxy`. Default: `bottle.tokens`.
+- **Python vs Go for the proxy.** Default: Python, revisit
+  during implementation if SSE pass-through is unreliable.
+- **Sidecar image base.** Distroless (smallest, no shell — hardest
+  to debug), Python slim (debuggable, larger), or scratch + a
+  statically-linked Go binary (smallest if Go). Default: whatever
+  fits the chosen language with the smallest non-shell base;
+  revisit if debuggability bites during implementation.
+- **Belt-and-braces on outbound telemetry.** Set
+  `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1` and
+  `DISABLE_ERROR_REPORTING=1` in the agent's environ by
+  default? Default: yes — they don't route through
+  `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL`, so the proxy doesn't catch them; the
+  flags are the only off switch.
+- **`git push` over a rewritten URL vs. credential-helper
+  shim.** `[url "http://…"] insteadOf = "https://github.com/"`
+  captures push/fetch/clone/pull/ls-remote in one config knob;
+  a credential helper would need separate wiring. Default:
+  `insteadOf`.
+- **Token-refresh story for the Anthropic OAuth token.** The
+  token is ~1-year and there's no client-side refresh, so the
+  proxy holds a static value. The 1-year blast radius is the
+  cost, documented in
+  [`claude-code-token-revocation.md`](../research/claude-code-token-revocation.md).
+  No design change here; flagged for awareness.
+- **`anthropics/claude-code#36998`.** Older claude-code
+  versions bypassed `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` for some startup
+  calls (auth validation, org lookup). Marked closed upstream;
+  the implementation PR verifies with `strace -e connect`
+  against the pinned claude-code build before trusting the
+  isolation.
