docs(prd): 0070 secret-handling as a future pattern (SecretProvider, #355)

Add a "Secret handling — FUTURE pattern (not v1)" subsection: vault as a
separate trust domain holding long-lived roots, deriving short-lived
scoped creds where the upstream allows (with the honest limit that a
compromised proxy can still abuse currently-authorized access). The
mechanism is a generic, user-extensible SecretProvider that generalizes
PRD 0048's DeployKeyProvisioner and drops into the manifest wherever a raw
token is accepted — discovered from ~/.bot-bottle/contrib like user
AgentProviders. Marked explicitly as not required for the initial
orchestrator; tracked as #355.

 ## Architecture
 
 On the default macOS Apple Container backend, a bottle is an agent container on a host-only internal network plus a sidecar bundle attached to both that internal network and a NAT egress network. The agent gets HTTP(S)_PROXY and CA bundle env vars pointing at the sidecar's internal-network IP, so HTTP/HTTPS traffic flows through the sidecar instead of direct egress. `bottle.git` / git-gate is intentionally deferred on this backend until a safe Apple Container key-delivery path exists.
 
-On the smolmachines backend, a bottle is an agent micro-VM plus a Docker sidecar bundle for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the sidecars through a per-bottle loopback alias allowed by TSI; smolmachines handles DNS filtering below the guest OS.
+On the Firecracker backend, a bottle is an agent microVM plus a Docker sidecar bundle for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the sidecars over a per-bottle point-to-point TAP link; a dedicated fail-closed `nftables` table (`inet bot_bottle_fc`) confines the guest to that link, so nothing leaves the box except through the sidecars. The TAP pool and nft table are provisioned once (root); per-launch needs no privilege.
 
 On the legacy Docker backend, the same logical bottle is two containers per agent: an `agent` container and a `sidecars` container. They share a per-agent Docker `--internal` network; the agent has no default route off-box.

-On compatible macOS hosts, the default backend requires Apple's `container` CLI and does not require Docker. The smolmachines backend requires Docker on the host for the sidecar bundle plus `smolvm` (macOS or Linux). The legacy Docker backend requires Docker.

-The smolmachines backend runs on Linux as well as macOS. On Linux, `smolvm`/libkrun use KVM, so the host needs:
+On Linux, a KVM-capable host defaults to the Firecracker backend. It needs:
 
 - **`/dev/kvm`** present and accessible. Load `kvm-intel` or `kvm-amd` (and enable virtualization in BIOS/firmware). The invoking user must be in the `kvm` group: `sudo usermod -aG kvm "$USER"` then re-login. bot-bottle preflights this and reports exactly what's missing.
-- **`smolvm`** on `PATH`: `curl -sSL https://smolmachines.com/install.sh | sh`.
-- **Docker** for the sidecar bundle and image build, same as macOS.
-
-Per-bottle isolation works the same as macOS without any `ifconfig`/sudo step — all of `127.0.0.0/8` is already loopback on Linux, so each bottle's sidecar bundle is published on its own `127.0.0.<N>` and TSI's allowlist is scoped to that `/32`.
+- **`firecracker`** on `PATH`: grab a release from <https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/releases>. Start flows print this pointer when the binary is missing.
+- **Docker** for the sidecar bundle and image build.
+- **A one-time privileged network setup** — the per-bottle TAP pool plus the fail-closed `nftables` isolation table. Run `./cli.py backend setup --backend=firecracker` for the host-appropriate config (a NixOS module, a `sudo` script elsewhere); `./cli.py backend status --backend=firecracker` reports what's present, including whether the pool range collides with an existing route. The pool defaults to `10.243.0.0/16` (an obscure RFC-1918 block that dodges docker/libvirt/LAN and, deliberately, Tailscale's `100.64.0.0/10` CGNAT range); override with `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_IP_BASE` if it clashes on your host.
 
 ```sh
-BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./cli.py start <agent>
+BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=firecracker ./cli.py start <agent>
 ```
 
-> **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. If you run bottles from a Gitea Actions runner, use a `host`-label runner so Docker, `smolvm`, and `/dev/kvm` are all reachable from the job. `smolvm` isn't in nixpkgs — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on the runner's `PATH`.
+> **NixOS:** enable `virtualisation.docker`, ensure the KVM module is loaded (`boot.kernelModules = [ "kvm-intel" ];` or `kvm-amd`), and add your user to the `kvm` and `docker` groups. For the network pool, consume the flake module — `imports = [ inputs.bot-bottle.nixosModules.firecracker-netpool ]; services.bot-bottle-firecracker = { enable = true; owner = "you"; };` — then `nixos-rebuild switch` (imperative nft/TAP rules don't survive a rebuild; channel users can `imports = [ <bot-bottle>/nix/firecracker-netpool.nix ]`). `firecracker` isn't in nixpkgs by default as a user binary — install the release binary (pin the version) and put it on `PATH`.

+Per bottle:
+  1. mint the egress CA, build the agent image (docker), export it to a
+     cached ext4 rootfs;
+  2. claim a free TAP pool slot (rootless flock);
+  3. bring up the Docker sidecar bundle, publishing egress / git-gate /
+     supervise on the slot's host-side TAP IP at fixed ports;
+  4. boot the microVM on that TAP; wait for SSH;
+  5. provision (CA, prompt, skills, workspace, git, supervise) over SSH.
+
+Isolation is enforced by the operator-provisioned nft table (checked
+fail-closed in preflight): a VM reaches only its sidecar (DNAT'd from
+the host TAP IP) and nothing else. The agent's HTTPS_PROXY therefore
+points at `http://<host_tap_ip>:9099`, its only route to the world.

+"""Firecracker network pool: constants, IP math, allocation, and the
+config renderers (shell command + NixOS module) shown to operators.
+
+The Firecracker backend needs a privileged one-time network setup:
+a pool of point-to-point TAP devices (owned by the invoking user, so
+`./cli.py start` never needs root) and a dedicated nftables table that
+isolates every VM. The pool parameters live in exactly one place —
+`netpool.defaults.env`, a plain KEY=VALUE file next to this module —
+and every consumer reads *that*: this module (below), the shell script
+(`scripts/firecracker-netpool.sh`), and the NixOS module
+(`nix/firecracker-netpool.nix`). A `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_*` env var of the
+same name always overrides the file, and the backend's fail-closed
+preflight derives from these accessors, so nothing can drift.
+
+Topology (per slot i):
+  * TAP  ``bbfc{i}``  — no shared bridge, so no docker0 / virbr0 / cni0
+    / br-* collisions.
+  * a /31 host<->guest link: host = base + 2i (the gateway the VM
+    routes through), guest = base + 2i + 1 (the VM's address).
+  * isolation via ``table inet bot_bottle_fc``: a VM reaches only its
+    own sidecar (DNAT'd from the host TAP IP) and nothing else.
+
+The default IP block is ``10.243.0.0/16`` — an intentionally obscure
+corner of RFC-1918 private space. RFC-1918 is the range *designated*
+for private links; we pick a high, unusual /16 to steer clear of the
+common occupants (Docker's 172.17-31, libvirt's 192.168.122, k8s
+10.42/10.244, and typical home LANs on 192.168.0/1.x or 10.0.0.x).
+We deliberately avoid ``100.64.0.0/10`` (RFC-6598 CGNAT) because
+Tailscale hands out node addresses from exactly that range. No default
+is collision-proof, so `overlapping_routes()` is the real guard —
+`backend setup`/`status` and the launch preflight call it to catch
+a base that clashes with something already on the host.

-"""Ephemeral local OCI registry for the smolmachines agent-image
-conversion path (PRD 0023 chunk 4c).
-
-`smolvm pack create --image <ref>` only accepts OCI registry refs
-— it can't read the local docker daemon's image cache, an OCI
-layout directory, or a `docker save` tarball. To convert the
-agent's Dockerfile-built image into a `.smolmachine` artifact we
-spin up a short-lived `registry:2.8.3` container alongside a
-`crane` helper container on a private docker network, push via
-`crane push --insecure <tarball> <registry-container>:5000/...`,
-and let smolvm pull from the registry's published host port. The
-network + both containers are torn down after the pack completes.
-
-Why this two-container dance instead of plain `docker push`:
-- Docker Desktop's daemon runs in its own Linux VM, so its
-  `localhost` is not the host's loopback. A registry bound to
-  the host's 127.0.0.1 is unreachable from the daemon side.
-- `host.docker.internal` is reachable from the daemon but isn't
-  in Docker's default insecure-registries CIDRs (only `::1/128`
-  and `127.0.0.0/8` are), so `docker push` to it tries HTTPS,
-  hits a plain-HTTP registry, and dies with
-  `http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client`. Adding
-  `host.docker.internal` to daemon.json works but is a one-time
-  manual step the user has to do in Docker Desktop's UI.
-- Going through a docker network sidesteps the host-vs-daemon
-  loopback mismatch (crane and registry containers see each
-  other on the network) AND the HTTPS preference (crane has an
-  `--insecure` flag that forces plain HTTP).
-
-The registry is also published on a random host port so smolvm
-— a host process — can pull from `localhost:<port>` via Docker's
-port-forward. smolvm's bundled crane auto-falls-back to HTTP for
-localhost addresses, so no insecure-registries config is needed
-on that side either."""

-"""Per-bottle loopback alias allocation + TSI allowlist
-enforcement (PRD 0023, follow-up to PR #74).
-
-After the pivot to host-loopback port-forwards, the smolmachines
-TSI allowlist was `127.0.0.1/32` — which meant the agent VM could
-reach **any** service bound to macOS's loopback, not just the
-bundle's published ports. Real downgrade from the docker
-backend's `--internal` network isolation.
-
-This module narrows the allowlist by allocating each bottle a
-unique loopback alias (`127.0.0.16` .. `127.0.0.31`). The
-bundle's port-forwards bind to that alias, and the alias's /32
-is what TSI allows.
-
-**Smolvm 0.8.0 quirk + workaround.** `smolvm machine create
---from <smolmachine> --net --allow-cidr X/32` silently drops the
-flag — verified empirically that the agent process's allowlist
-ends up `null` in smolvm's persistent state DB (`~/Library/
-Application Support/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`, `vms` table,
-`data` BLOB), and the booted VM reaches all of `127.0.0.0/8`
-regardless of what we passed. Workaround: after machine_create,
-open the SQLite DB and patch the row's `allowed_cidrs` field
-directly. Smolvm reads the DB at machine_start, so the patched
-value takes effect on boot. Tested: enforcement is real — the
-guest's connect to a non-allowlisted IP fails with `Permission
-denied`. Other paths we tried (machine update, stop-edit-
-agent.config.json-restart, --smolfile, --image localhost:N/...)
-were dead ends.
-
-macOS only configures `127.0.0.1` on `lo0` by default; the
-additional aliases require `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. We lazily
-sudo-add the missing pool on first use per boot — the aliases
-persist on `lo0` until reboot, so subsequent launches don't
-prompt.
-
-On Linux the whole `127.0.0.0/8` is already routed to `lo`, so
-docker can publish a bundle's ports directly on `127.0.0.<N>`
-with no `ifconfig`/sudo step. `ensure_pool` is therefore a no-op
-on Linux, but per-bottle alias *allocation* and the TSI allowlist
-DB patch run on both platforms — the isolation property is
-identical, it's just cheaper to set up on Linux. The state-DB
-path differs per platform (see `_smolvm_db_path`).
-
-Allocation is coordinated by inspecting running bundle
-containers' published host IPs — each bottle's bundle owns the
-alias appearing in its port bindings. The lowest-numbered free
-alias gets handed to a new bottle."""

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

-"""Thin subprocess wrapper around the `smolvm` CLI (PRD 0023).
-
-One thin Python function per smolvm subcommand the launch flow
-needs. Two design choices worth flagging:
-
-  - **No daemon, no SDK.** smolvm 0.8.0 ships a `smolvm serve`
-    HTTP API as the long-term-clean integration target. The
-    project's stdlib-first ethos + the lower-overhead CLI calls
-    push v1 to shell out via `subprocess.run`. If a future
-    smolvm release makes `serve` mandatory (or significantly
-    faster), revisit.
-
-  - **Two return shapes.** `SmolvmRunResult` (returncode + stdout
-    + stderr captured) is returned by `machine_exec` because the
-    caller cares about the in-VM command's exit status, and by
-    test helpers that introspect output. The other calls
-    (`machine_start`, `machine_stop`, `pack_create`, etc.) raise
-    `SmolvmError` on non-zero exit — failure to start a VM is
-    fatal to the launch flow, not something callers want to
-    branch on.
-
-The wrapper is unit-tested with `subprocess.run` mocked; the
-integration smoke test (chunk 2d) exercises against a real
-smolvm binary."""

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

+# PRD 0070: Per-host orchestrator service
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-12
+- **Issue:** #351
+- **Supersedes:** the Stage-1 / Stage-4 sidecar-consolidation framing of
+  PRD 0069 (#348). Depends on 0069's nix-built fixed images (Stage 2) for
+  bootstrapping; 0069 still owns the docker-free image-building work.
+
+## Summary
+
+Replace the **per-bottle sidecar bundle** with a single **persistent,
+per-host orchestrator**: one long-lived service that runs the sidecar
+functions (egress / git-gate / supervise), coordinates with the console,
+and brokers agent launches and teardown. It is **virtualized from the
+start** using each backend's native isolation primitive — a Firecracker
+microVM on the Firecracker backend, an Apple container on macOS, a Docker
+container on the legacy backend — and is fronted by a single
+**backend-agnostic contract**. Per-backend variation lives on
+`BottleBackend`, not in the orchestrator.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Today each bottle spins up its own sidecar bundle (egress mitmproxy +
+git-gate + supervise). That costs:
+
+- **Resources.** N bottles → N heavy bundles booting and idling.
+- **Operational churn.** Per-launch container/VM lifecycle for the
+  sidecars, a control path baked at launch and torn down at exit.
+- **A blurry contract.** "How a bottle talks to its sidecar" is
+  re-implemented per backend instead of being one agreed interface.
+
+A per-host orchestrator collapses the first two and forces the third to
+be made explicit. It's also the component that will own per-host runtime
+**state** (slot leases, the approval queue, the bottle registry) — today
+that's ad-hoc `fcntl`-locked files.
+
+## Security review (read this first)
+
+Consolidation is a real change to the trust model. The goal is to **not
+significantly weaken** the posture; some properties strengthen, some
+weaken, and the weakened ones must be mitigated by design, not hand-waved.
+
+### What gets stronger
+
+- **Build/host isolation of untrusted inputs** (with 0069 Stage 3): user
+  Dockerfiles build in a disposable VM instead of on the host.
+- **One audited privileged surface.** Today the launcher runs as the full
+  host user and needs the Docker socket (root-equivalent). The orchestrator
+  model replaces that with a **thin launch broker** (below) — a small,
+  structured, auditable privileged core instead of a fat socket.
+- **Attribution is enforced, not assumed.** Making source-IP identity a
+  first-class contract invariant (below) means each backend must *prove*
+  it, rather than the sidecar implicitly trusting network position.
+
+### What gets weaker, and the mitigation
+
+1. **Secret concentration.** Per-bottle sidecars isolate secrets at the
+   process boundary — each holds only its bottle's tokens/keys. A host
+   orchestrator concentrates **every bottle's** egress tokens, git deploy
+   keys, and the console credential in one long-lived process. A single
+   attribution bug leaks bottle A's token into bottle B's request — a class
+   of bug that *cannot exist* per-bottle.
+   - *Mitigation:* lean on the enforced source-IP invariant for
+     attribution; keep the most secret-dense, least-shareable service
+     (**git-gate**, per-repo deploy keys, no natural source-IP scoping)
+     **per-bottle** unless there's a compelling reason; scope each secret
+     to the bottle in the state DB so a lookup can't return the wrong
+     bottle's secret by construction (key every secret access by the
+     verified source identity, never by ambient state).
+
+2. **Shared fate.** Orchestrator down = no new launches, and running
+   agents lose egress / git / supervise. Compromise = the whole host's
+   fleet, plus launch authority, plus the console token.
+   - *Mitigation:* the orchestrator is itself confined (its own VM/container
+     with its own fail-closed egress); make it **restartable without killing
+     running agent VMs** (agents keep running; they briefly lose sidecar
+     connectivity until it's back); persist state to a host volume so a
+     restart re-adopts live bottles rather than losing them.
+
+3. **The launch broker is the new privileged core.** We don't eliminate
+   host privilege — we shrink and relocate it. If the broker accepts
+   arbitrary paths/commands, the orchestrator VM can escape through it.
+   - *Mitigation:* the broker takes **structured requests only** — "launch
+     bottle from *this* content-addressed, nix-built rootfs on TAP slot
+     *k*", never "run this argv". It validates against a fixed image set,
+     not caller-supplied paths. It is small enough to audit line-by-line.
+
+4. **The egress proxy now parses every bottle's traffic in one process.**
+   Higher blast radius for a mitmproxy/TLS-bump bug.
+   - *Mitigation:* this is the argument for virtualizing the orchestrator
+     from the start (Stage B, not a host daemon) — the code that TLS-bumps
+     and parses agent traffic and holds every token runs **inside its own
+     confined VM**, not as a host process. If egress sharing's blast radius
+     feels too high, egress can stay per-bottle while supervise (near-zero
+     secrets) goes host-level first.
+
+### The attribution invariant
+
+Source-IP attribution is what makes a shared orchestrator safe: one
+process serves every bottle and tells them apart by source address. The
+*mechanism* is identical everywhere (read source IP → look up bottle); the
+**guarantee that the address can't be forged is a per-backend
+responsibility** and part of the contract:
+
+> **Invariant:** a packet's source address, as seen by the orchestrator,
+> *provably* identifies the originating bottle.
+
+- **Firecracker** — enforced by the `/31` point-to-point TAP + the
+  `bot_bottle_fc` nft table (strongest; already built).
+- **Docker** — the per-bottle `--internal` network + anti-spoof; weaker,
+  must be made explicit.
+- **Apple** — the host-only network.
+
+If a backend can't honor the invariant, source-IP consolidation is not
+safe there and that backend keeps per-bottle sidecars. The invariant is a
+hard precondition, not an aspiration.
+
+### Secret handling — a FUTURE pattern (not v1)
+
+> **Status: future / not required for the initial orchestrator.** The
+> initial cut can inject secrets as today; this section records the
+> direction so v1 doesn't paint itself into a corner. Tracked as its own
+> work in **#355** (generic `SecretProvider`).
+
+The residual weakness after all of the above is **long-lived credential
+concentration** — the data-plane proxies must hold every bottle's upstream
+tokens because the agent must never see them. You can't policy-gate the
+component whose job is to *use* all the secrets, so a full RCE of a proxy
+drains its authorized set regardless. Two moves bound this without
+pretending to prevent it:
+
+1. **Vault as a separate trust domain.** The long-lived *roots* live in a
+   distinct process (ideally its own VM) that the byte-parsing data plane
+   never shares memory with. The proxies request secrets from it; the
+   crown jewels are not in the process an agent-facing parser can pop.
+2. **Derive short-lived, scoped creds where the upstream allows it.** The
+   vault holds the root and mints expiring, narrowly-scoped credentials
+   per bottle-start (or per request) — GitHub App installation tokens,
+   OAuth/STS token exchange, forge deploy tokens. A compromise then leaks
+   short-lived material, not permanent keys. For upstreams stuck on static
+   keys the vault passes the value through (only the at-rest / audit /
+   revocation benefits apply, not lifetime reduction) — this residue is
+   accepted and documented, not solved.
+
+Even a plain per-request fetch (no derivation) still buys **at-rest**
+reduction (process memory holds only in-flight secrets), a **detection /
+rate-limit / revocation chokepoint**, and clean **cross-component
+scoping** (an egress RCE can't request git-gate's creds). It does *not*
+prevent abuse of currently-authorized access during the compromise window.
+
+**Mechanism (see #355):** generalize the existing `DeployKeyProvisioner`
+(PRD 0048) into a user-extensible **`SecretProvider`** droppable into the
+manifest anywhere a raw token value is accepted, discovered from
+`~/.bot-bottle/contrib/<name>/secret_provider.py` exactly as user
+`AgentProvider`s are — because maintaining every forge/cloud/OAuth
+provider in-tree is untenable. The orchestrator's vault mints via these
+providers; but the abstraction is shippable independently and today's
+per-bottle sidecars can use it too.
+
+## Design
+
+### The contract (backend-agnostic)
+
+Three surfaces; only one is per-backend.
+
+1. **Control plane (CLI / console → orchestrator)** — an RPC:
+   `launch_bottle`, `teardown_bottle`, `register_policy`,
+   `deregister_bottle`, `supervise_queue`. Fully backend-agnostic. Both the
+   local `cli.py` and the remote console funnel through it, so policy is
+   uniform and `cli.py` becomes a thin client rather than a parallel
+   launcher.
+2. **Data plane (agent → orchestrator)** — the egress / git / supervise
+   endpoints. Already agnostic today (agents dial `http://sidecar:9099`);
+   only the *address* and *how packets get there* are per-backend.
+3. **Launch / wire (orchestrator → backend)** — the irreducibly
+   backend-specific part; lives on `BottleBackend`.
+
+### One `Orchestrator`, no subclass tree
+
+The orchestrator is a **single concrete class** holding all the
+backend-neutral logic — egress addon, git-gate, supervise, source-IP
+attribution, live-reload control plane, console client. It never branches
+on backend; it *composes* a `BottleBackend`. That composition is what makes
+the contract agnostic: there is nothing backend-specific left in the
+orchestrator to leak.
+
+Rejected alternative: an `Orchestrator` ABC with per-backend
+implementations. The interesting logic (proxies, attribution, control
+plane) is backend-neutral, so three subclasses would triplicate the hard
+part; and a second hierarchy paralleling `BottleBackend` reintroduces the
+same hand-maintained lockstep coupling we just removed from the netpool
+constants (PR #350). Composition over a parallel tree.
+
+### `BottleBackend` absorbs the per-backend variation
+
+A small, cohesive surface — reused for launching agent bottles *and* the
+orchestrator's own unit (the orchestrator is just another native unit):
+
+```
+launch_unit(spec) -> Handle      # agent bottle OR the orchestrator itself
+                                 # (fc microVM / apple ctr / docker ctr)
+wire(unit, endpoint) -> None     # DNAT+forward (fc) | attach shared net (docker/apple)
+endpoint_of(unit) -> Endpoint    # address resolution
+health(unit) -> Status
+```
+
+Plus the **launch broker** — the answer to "a VM/container can't spawn its
+own host-network siblings." The orchestrator can't directly open host
+`/dev/kvm` + a host TAP fd (Firecracker), and a container can't spawn
+siblings without a root-equivalent socket (Docker). So every backend
+exposes a broker the orchestrator calls to launch an agent:
+
+- **Firecracker** — a thin, structured host shim (see security #3). This
+  replaces today's implicit "launcher runs as host user."
+- **Docker** — the socket today (fat, root-equivalent — the thing 0069's
+  Stage 3 removes); a narrower broker later.
+- **Apple** — the `container` CLI/daemon.
+
+If `BottleBackend` bloats, the pressure valve is composition one level
+down: vend a `backend.network()` / `Wiring` collaborator rather than
+piling methods on — the same discipline, recursed.
+
+### State: one SQLite DB, owned by the orchestrator
+
+The orchestrator is the natural owner of per-host **runtime state**:
+
+- pool **slot leases** (which bottle holds slot *i*) — replaces today's
+  `fcntl`-locked files with WAL-mode transactions;
+- the **supervise approval queue** + remembered approvals;
+- the **live bottle registry** (source IP → bottle → policy/secrets refs),
+  the lookup table the attribution invariant reads.
+
+This is deliberately **not** a "single source of truth for all config."
+Config splits into three tiers with different homes:
+
+| Tier | Example | Home |
+|---|---|---|
+| Build-time constants | pool size, IP base, nft table | flat `.env` (PR #350) — must be readable by Nix eval + root bash, zero runtime |
+| User-authored config | bottle manifests, egress routes, secret refs | declarative files under `~/.bot-bottle/` — trust boundary at `$HOME`, git-trackable, "unknown keys die at load" |
+| Runtime state | slot leases, approvals, registry | **SQLite**, owned by the orchestrator |
+
+SQLite is right for the runtime tier (mutable, concurrent, queried) and
+wrong for the other two (Nix can't read it at eval time; it fights the
+declarative manifest trust model). Keep the tiers separate.
+
+## Sequencing
+
+Jump straight to the **virtualized** end state (not a host-daemon stepping
+stone): a host daemon's agent→`localhost` transport is throwaway once the
+orchestrator becomes a VM. Decouple the two risks instead:
+
+- **Consolidation risk** (one process, all secrets, attribution, reload)
+  and **packaging/transport risk** (VM-to-VM wiring, the shim) are
+  independent. Develop the orchestrator **service as a plain process
+  dev-harness** first, so the consolidation logic (attribution, reload,
+  secret handling) is proven with fast iteration — *then* wrap that exact
+  service in the VM and solve wiring separately.
+
+Backend order (cheapest proof → hardest → last):
+
+1. **Docker orchestrator** — nearly free (the sidecar bundle is already
+   containers; collapse N bundles into one persistent container). Proves
+   consolidation + the `BottleBackend` seam with the least moving parts.
+2. **Firecracker orchestrator** — the real work: the shim + VM-to-VM
+   routing (host forwards `bbfcN` → orchestrator TAP; the nft table grows
+   forward rules where today it drops all non-DNAT egress). Built against
+   the dev-harness so the app logic is already proven.
+3. **macOS (Apple container)** — last (container-to-container networking).
+
+Keep the sidecar **service one shared thing** throughout.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Removing OCI/Dockerfile support for agent images (0069's concern).
+- A single database for *all* config (see the three-tier table).
+- Changing the per-bottle isolation of agent workloads — only the sidecar
+  is consolidated; agents stay one-VM/container-each.
+
+## Relationship to other work
+
+- **PRD 0069 (#348):** 0070 subsumes its Stage 1 (per-host sidecar) and
+  Stage 4 (sidecar-as-VM). 0069 retains Stage 2 (nix-built fixed images —
+  a **dependency** here: the orchestrator and agent base must be
+  nix-built so the broker launches from a fixed image set and bootstrapping
+  has no chicken-and-egg) and Stage 3 (in-VM Dockerfile builder).
+- **Minimal CI runner (paused):** the Firecracker broker + no host Docker
+  is what lets a dedicated `gitea` runner user drop the root-equivalent
+  `docker` group — it only needs broker-socket access + `kvm`/pool group
+  membership. This work unblocks it.
+- **Generic `SecretProvider` (#355):** the future secret-handling
+  mechanism (see "Secret handling") — generalizes PRD 0048's
+  `DeployKeyProvisioner` into a user-extensible provider that mints
+  short-lived creds. Shippable independently; the orchestrator's vault
+  mints through it.
+- **PR #350 (netpool single-source):** the same "one source per fact,
+  composition over parallel hierarchies" discipline the contract follows.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Egress sharing tradeoff:** is the secret-concentration blast radius of
+  one shared mitmproxy worth the resource win, or share only supervise
+  (near-zero secrets) and keep egress + git-gate per-bottle initially?
+- **Control-plane shape:** RPC transport (unix socket / vsock / HTTP over
+  the TAP) and the live-reload protocol for per-bottle policy.
+- **State re-adoption:** exact scheme for an orchestrator restart to
+  re-adopt running agent VMs from the SQLite registry without racing
+  in-flight launches.
+- **VM-to-VM routing:** the nft forward rules + addressing for a
+  per-host orchestrator VM on its own TAP.
+- **Broker request schema:** the exact structured contract that stays
+  auditable and can't be coerced into launching arbitrary payloads.

-# PRD prd-new: Forge native integration
-
-- **Status:** Draft
-- **Author:** claude
-- **Created:** 2026-06-29
-- **Issue:** #317
-
-## Summary
-
-Add a webhook-driven orchestration layer that lets Gitea issues and PR comments
-drive bot-bottle sessions end-to-end with no operator in the loop for the happy
-path. An issue assigned to a member of the configured agent org and labelled
-with an agent name triggers a headless bottle launch; the bottle processes the
-issue, opens a PR, and interacts with the forge through a **forge sidecar** —
-the agent never touches the Gitea API or its credentials directly. The agent
-calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when a work unit is
-complete; the sidecar relays that to the orchestrator over a queue dir (the same
-pattern as the supervise sidecar), so completion is an unambiguous in-band
-signal rather than a comment the orchestrator has to parse. The orchestrator
-freezes the bottle. Subsequent PR comments rehydrate the frozen bottle. The
-bottle is destroyed when the PR closes.
-
-The forge sidecar is backed by a `Forge` abstract class with per-provider
-implementations (Gitea first), so the agent's prompts and the sidecar protocol
-stay forge-agnostic. The sidecar logs forge operations semantically ("read PR
-description", "posted comment", "signalled done"), giving richer provenance than
-post-hoc egress-byte parsing, and enforces a **read-anywhere / write-scoped**
-permission model: the agent may read for context but may only write to the
-issue and PRs it was assigned.
-
-Run provenance is exposed through a **provenance API** (the sidecar's structured
-operation log plus the run's metadata), not posted back into the forge. We do
-not surface a provenance footer in the PR — the audit record lives behind the
-API where it can be retained and queried, rather than as an editable comment.
-
-The separation of concerns across the two layers: bot-bottle owns the headless
-launch primitives, the forge sidecar + `Forge` abstraction, and forge state.
-`bot-bottle-orchestrator` (separate binary) owns the webhook listener, bottle
-lifecycle loop, and monitoring dashboard; it calls into bot-bottle via
-`./cli.py orchestrate`, a thin wrapper command. This PRD covers bot-bottle's
-side of that contract.
-
-## Problem
-
-Today an operator must open the TUI, select an agent and bottle, confirm the
-preflight, and type prompts interactively. This blocks "issue → PR" automation
-and produces no durable audit record of what the agent did. The security model
-already provides the right isolation and egress controls, and `start --headless`
-(#315) already gives `bot-bottle-orchestrator` a non-interactive launch path.
-The missing pieces are a headless `resume` counterpart for rehydrating frozen
-bottles, a forge-interaction surface the agent uses to read context, post
-comments, and signal completion, and the provenance trail that makes the audit
-story legible to reviewers on every PR.
-
-That forge-interaction surface could be built two ways: (2) give the agent the
-Gitea API directly with cred-proxy injecting the token, or (3) put a forge
-sidecar between the agent and the forge. This PRD takes **option 3**. The
-deciding factors: a sidecar `signal_done` call is an unambiguous completion
-signal where comment-parsing is a correctness risk that surfaces in production;
-the sidecar produces a semantic audit trail rather than HTTP bytes, which is
-load-bearing for provenance (the stated product priority); and the sidecar can
-enforce scope tighter than repo-wide API-key permissions, reducing blast radius
-for a prompt-injected agent. The costs — a second sidecar process per forge run,
-a new failure mode if it crashes, and per-forge implementation cost — are
-accepted as the price of those properties.
-
-## Goals / Success Criteria
-
-1. Headless launch already exists: `./cli.py start <agent> --headless --prompt`
-   (#315) runs non-interactively with no TUI selectors or y/N preflight. This
-   PRD builds on it rather than re-introducing it. The remaining gap is a
-   matching headless `resume` path (`./cli.py resume --headless`), since
-   rehydrating a frozen bottle for a new prompt is required by the freeze /
-   rehydrate loop and `resume` has no non-interactive entry point today.
-2. An issue assigned to a member of the configured org (`FORGE_ORG`, default
-   `bot-bottle`) and labelled `bot-bottle:<agent-name>` is the trigger
-   convention. Org membership is verified via the Gitea API at event time.
-3. Forge-targeted bottles run a **forge sidecar** that exposes a small,
-   forge-agnostic API (comment/issue/PR CRUD plus `signal_done`) over the same
-   queue-dir + HTTP/JSON-RPC machinery as the supervise sidecar. The agent calls
-   the sidecar; it never sees the forge token or forge-specific endpoints.
-4. The sidecar is backed by a `Forge` abstract class. Gitea is the first
-   concrete implementation; adding a forge means a new subclass, not changes to
-   the agent prompt or sidecar protocol. The sidecar enforces a read-anywhere /
-   write-scoped model: writes are limited to the assigned issue and its PRs;
-   reads are unrestricted for context.
-5. The agent calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when a work
-   unit is complete; the sidecar relays it to the orchestrator over a queue dir.
-   This is the done signal — no comment parsing. A watchdog timeout
-   (configurable, default 30 min) causes the orchestrator to treat the run as
-   done-without-self-report if the agent exits without signalling.
-6. Run provenance (agent name, bottle name(s), slug, timing, exit code,
-   gitleaks result, egress summary, and the sidecar's semantic operation log)
-   is available through a provenance API. It is **not** surfaced as a PR footer
-   or any other forge comment.
-7. Forge state (issue → slug, status) is persisted in a local SQLite database
-   under `~/.bot-bottle/` and survives orchestrator restarts.
-8. `./cli.py orchestrate status` lists active forge-managed bottles and their
-   issue/PR URLs.
-9. Unit tests cover: label parsing, org-membership check path, forge state
-   store CRUD (SQLite), headless launch arg construction, forge env var
-   injection, sidecar request dispatch through the `Forge` abstraction,
-   write-scope enforcement (reject writes outside the assigned issue/PRs), and
-   `signal_done` queue relay.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Webhook signature verification (HMAC-SHA256). Added as a follow-up.
-- The `bot-bottle-orchestrator` binary itself — this PRD covers bot-bottle's
-  side of the interface only. The orchestrator is a separate project.
-- GitHub or GitLab support.
-- Multiple simultaneous forge bottles per issue.
-- Automatic retry on agent error exit.
-- Bottle destruction on issue close (PR close only; issue close is ambiguous).
-- Concurrent multi-issue handling (one blocking run per orchestrator process).
-- A monitoring dashboard (orchestrator-side concern).
-- Folding `DeployKeyProvisioner` into the `Forge` abstraction. Deploy-key
-  provisioning runs at bottle-provision time on the host; the forge sidecar runs
-  inside the bottle at agent time. The two have different lifecycles and actors,
-  so coupling them into one class is deferred to a follow-up. This PRD only
-  shares the Gitea HTTP client between them.
-
-## Design
-
-### Targeting convention
-
-An issue is forge-targeted when **both** hold:
-
-- At least one assignee is a member of the Gitea org named by `FORGE_ORG`
-  (default `bot-bottle`). Checked via `GET /api/v1/orgs/{org}/members/{user}`.
-- At least one label has the prefix `bot-bottle:`. The suffix names the agent
-  manifest, e.g. `bot-bottle:implementer` → agent `implementer`.
-
-`FORGE_ORG` is read at orchestrate-command startup. It is not embedded in
-manifests or state files; the orchestrator stamps its value into log output for
-auditability.
-
-An optional label `bot-bottle-bottle:<name>` overrides bottle selection. When
-absent the agent's default bottle is used.
-
-### `./cli.py orchestrate` — the thin wrapper
-
-```
-./cli.py orchestrate start  --agent AGENT [--bottle BOTTLE ...] --prompt PROMPT
-                            [--label LABEL] [--backend BACKEND]
-./cli.py orchestrate resume --slug SLUG --prompt PROMPT [--backend BACKEND]
-./cli.py orchestrate status
-```
-
-`orchestrate start` is a thin shim over the already-shipped `start --headless`
-(#315): it forwards agent / bottle / label / prompt and adds the forge-specific
-wiring (`forge_env`, sidecar launch). It does not re-implement headless launch.
-The caller (`bot-bottle-orchestrator`) manages freeze, state, and the forge
-sidecar's done signal around it.
-
-`orchestrate resume` is the shim over the new `resume --headless` (below).
-
-`orchestrate status` prints the forge state table.
-
-### Headless primitives — what exists vs. what's new
-
-Headless **start** already shipped in #315 and this PRD reuses it as-is:
-
-- `./cli.py start <agent> --headless --prompt TEXT` — no TUI selectors, no y/N
-  preflight. Internally `_start_headless()` calls the shared `_launch_bottle()`
-  with `assume_yes=True` and `headless_prompt_text=prompt`.
-- The prompt is delivered through `AgentProvider.headless_prompt(prompt)` —
-  claude `-p`, codex positional, pi `-p`. The orchestrator does **not** hand-roll
-  agent args; it relies on this provider abstraction. (An earlier draft proposed
-  `start_headless` / `attach_agent_headless` helpers that constructed
-  `--no-interactive`/`-p` directly — those are dropped as redundant with, and
-  divergent from, what #315 merged.)
-
-Two additions are needed on top of #315:
-
-**1. A `forge_env` hook on the headless launch path.** The orchestrator needs to
-pass forge context + token through to the forge sidecar launched alongside the
-agent. This is a parameter threaded into `_launch_bottle` (the same core
-`start --headless` already uses), not a parallel launch function. The agent
-process itself does not receive the token.
-
-**2. `resume --headless`** — new in `bot_bottle/cli/resume.py`, mirroring the
-`--headless` flag on `start`:
-
-```
-./cli.py resume <slug> --headless --prompt TEXT
-```
-
-It rehydrates a frozen bottle and runs one headless prompt via the same
-`assume_yes` + `headless_prompt` path, returning the agent's exit code. `resume`
-has no non-interactive entry point today, so this is genuinely new work rather
-than a rename of an existing helper.
-
-### Forge sidecar
-
-Forge-targeted bottles run a forge sidecar alongside the agent, mirroring the
-supervise sidecar: a per-bottle process that exposes an HTTP/JSON-RPC endpoint
-over a Unix socket and relays events to the orchestrator through a queue dir.
-The agent calls the sidecar; the sidecar holds the forge token and makes the
-actual forge API calls. The agent never receives the credential and never sees a
-forge-specific endpoint — swapping Gitea for another forge does not change the
-agent prompt or the sidecar protocol.
-
-The sidecar is configured at launch from the forge context (owner, repo, issue,
-PR) and the token, supplied by the orchestrator — not baked into the agent
-manifest. Because the sidecar owns the token, forge traffic does not need a
-cred-proxy egress route on the agent; the agent's egress policy is unchanged by
-forge targeting.
-
-**Sidecar protocol** (forge-agnostic; each method maps to a `Forge` call):
-
-| Method | Scope | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `read_issue(number)` | read-anywhere | Read an issue body for context |
-| `read_pr(number)` | read-anywhere | Read a PR (incl. merge state) for context |
-| `read_comments(number)` | read-anywhere | Read a thread for context |
-| `post_comment(number, body)` | write-scoped | Post to the assigned issue/PR |
-| `update_description(number, body)` | write-scoped | Edit the assigned issue/PR body |
-| `signal_done(status, summary)` | — | Relay completion to the orchestrator |
-
-Issues and PRs are distinct domain objects (`Issue` vs `PullRequest`) read
-through distinct methods; a PR carries merge state an issue does not.
-
-**Scope enforcement** is read-anywhere / write-scoped: read methods accept any
-issue/PR number for context; write methods are rejected unless the target is the
-assigned issue or one of its PRs. This is tighter than Gitea's repo-wide API-key
-permissions and bounds the blast radius of a prompt-injected agent. Rejections
-are logged semantically (operation, target, reason) so the audit trail records
-attempted out-of-scope writes, not just allowed ones.
-
-**Semantic audit**: every sidecar call is logged as a structured operation
-("read PR #318 description", "posted comment to #317", "signalled done:
-success") rather than as opaque HTTP bytes. This log feeds provenance directly,
-with no post-hoc egress-log parsing.
-
-### `Forge` abstraction — `bot_bottle/contrib/forge/`
-
-The sidecar dispatches to a `Forge` abstract class. Each provider implements the
-operations behind the sidecar protocol:
-
-```python
-class Forge(abc.ABC):
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def read_issue(self, number: int) -> Issue: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def read_pr(self, number: int) -> PullRequest: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def read_comments(self, number: int) -> list[Comment]: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def post_comment(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def update_description(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def is_org_member(self, org: str, username: str) -> bool: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def get_pr_for_issue(self, number: int) -> int | None: ...
-    @abc.abstractmethod
-    def is_pr_open(self, number: int) -> bool: ...
-```
-
-`Issue` and `PullRequest` are separate frozen dataclasses — a PR adds `merged`.
-`ScopedForge` wraps a concrete `Forge` to enforce the read-anywhere /
-write-scoped model (`post_comment` / `update_description` raise `ForgeScopeError`
-outside the assigned issue and PRs).
-
-`GiteaForge` is the first and only concrete implementation in this PRD. It wraps
-the Gitea HTTP client (below). Adding GitHub or GitLab later is a new subclass;
-the sidecar, protocol, and agent prompt are untouched.
-
-> **Deferred:** `DeployKeyProvisioner` is *not* folded into `Forge` here.
-> Deploy-key provisioning runs on the host at provision time; the sidecar runs
-> in the bottle at agent time. They have different lifecycles and actors, so a
-> shared abstract base would couple two unrelated auth contexts. For now they
-> only share the Gitea HTTP client; a later PRD can revisit unification.
-
-### Forge env vars
-
-The orchestrator passes forge context to the **sidecar** (not the agent) at
-launch. The agent does not need owner/repo/issue env vars to construct API
-calls, since it only names issue/PR numbers to the sidecar:
-
-| Var | Example | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `FORGE_GITEA_API` | `https://gitea.dideric.is/api/v1` | Base URL the sidecar calls |
-| `FORGE_OWNER` | `didericis` | Repo owner |
-| `FORGE_REPO` | `bot-bottle` | Repo name |
-| `FORGE_ISSUE_NUMBER` | `317` | Assigned issue (defines write scope) |
-| `FORGE_PR_NUMBER` | `318` | Assigned PR (empty until PR exists) |
-
-The agent's forge-specific prompt instructs it to call `signal_done` on the
-sidecar when a work unit is complete, and to use the sidecar for any
-comment/description writes. The instruction is forge-agnostic and is part of the
-forge prompt overlay, not the base agent manifest, so non-forge runs are
-unaffected.
-
-### Done signal and watchdog
-
-The agent calls `signal_done(status, summary)` on the sidecar when it finishes a
-work unit. The sidecar writes the event to its queue dir; the orchestrator reads
-it and:
-
-1. Reads the forge state for `(owner, repo, issue_number)`.
-2. If `status == "running"`, treats the event as the done signal: freezes the
-   bottle and sets `status = "frozen"`. Provenance is recorded via the
-   provenance API — no comment is posted to the forge.
-
-Because completion is an explicit `signal_done` call, the orchestrator does not
-parse comment text to detect "done", and intermediate comments the agent posts
-mid-run cannot be mistaken for completion.
-
-**Watchdog**: the orchestrator tracks `last_checkin_at` in forge state, updated
-on each sidecar event. A background thread wakes every minute. If
-`now - last_checkin_at > FORGE_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT` (default 30 min, configurable
-via env) and `status == "running"`, the orchestrator treats the run as
-done-without-self-report and freezes the bottle, flagging the run as incomplete
-in the provenance record.
-
-**Sidecar-death failure mode**: if the forge sidecar crashes mid-run the agent
-loses forge access while the bottle is otherwise healthy. The orchestrator
-detects a dead sidecar (socket/queue gone) the same way it detects a stalled
-agent and falls back to the watchdog path.
-
-### Forge state — `bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/forge_state.py`
-
-State is stored in a local SQLite database at `~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db`.
-Access goes through a thin CRUD interface, `ForgeStateStore`, so the storage
-location/engine can be swapped without touching callers. `SqliteForgeStateStore`
-is the first implementation.
-
-The `forge_state` table is keyed by `(owner, repo, issue_number)` and carries:
-`slug`, `agent_name`, `bottle_names` (JSON), `backend_name`, `agent_git_user`,
-`pr_number` (nullable), `status`, `last_checkin_at`.
-
-`status`: `"running"` | `"frozen"` | `"destroyed"`.
-
-Store interface:
-
-```python
-class ForgeStateStore(abc.ABC):
-    def upsert(self, state: ForgeState) -> None: ...
-    def get(self, owner: str, repo: str, issue_number: int) -> ForgeState | None: ...
-    def delete(self, owner: str, repo: str, issue_number: int) -> None: ...
-    def all(self) -> list[ForgeState]: ...
-
-class SqliteForgeStateStore(ForgeStateStore):
-    def __init__(self, db_path: Path | None = None) -> None: ...
-```
-
-`upsert` uses `INSERT OR REPLACE` so a re-run for the same issue overwrites in
-place. The schema is created on first open.
-
-### Provenance API
-
-Run provenance — agent, bottle(s), slug, timing, exit code, gitleaks result,
-egress summary, watchdog-fired flag, and the sidecar's semantic operation log —
-is exposed through a **provenance API**, not posted into the forge. There is no
-provenance footer or run-summary comment.
-
-The rationale (per the monetization positioning): a PR comment is mutable by any
-maintainer, unsigned, and per-PR, so it is worthless as an audit record and
-invites false trust. The authoritative record therefore lives behind the API,
-where it can be retained, queried, and (eventually) signed. Whether any
-projection of it ever appears in the forge is a separate, out-of-scope decision;
-this PR does not build one.
-
-The API surface itself (schema, transport, signing, retention) is **out of scope
-for this PRD** and belongs with the orchestrator / control-plane work. bot-bottle
-here only produces the raw material: the sidecar's semantic operation log and the
-run metadata the orchestrator collects.
-
-### Gitea HTTP client — `bot_bottle/contrib/gitea/client.py`
-
-`GiteaForge` (and the existing `GiteaDeployKeyProvisioner`) share one thin HTTP
-client. Unlike the option-2 design, the token is held by the sidecar process and
-passed to the client directly — there is no agent-side cred-proxy route to
-inject it, because the agent never makes forge calls.
-
-```python
-class GiteaClient:
-    def __init__(self, *, api_url: str, owner: str, repo: str, token: str) -> None: ...
-    def is_org_member(self, org: str, username: str) -> bool: ...
-    def get_issue(self, number: int) -> dict: ...
-    def get_comments(self, number: int) -> list[dict]: ...
-    def post_comment(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
-    def patch_issue_body(self, number: int, body: str) -> None: ...
-    def get_pull(self, number: int) -> dict: ...
-```
-
-`GiteaForge` adapts this client to the `Forge` surface (mapping raw JSON to
-`Issue` / `PullRequest` / `Comment`). Sharing only the HTTP client (not an
-abstract base) is the deliberate boundary between the sidecar and the deploy-key
-provisioner — see the deferral note under the `Forge` abstraction.
-
-### Implementation chunks
-
-1. **Headless additions on top of #315** — thread a `forge_env` parameter into
-   the existing `_launch_bottle` core (the one `start --headless` already uses);
-   add a `--headless` path to `cli/resume.py` reusing `assume_yes` +
-   `headless_prompt`. No new `start_headless`/`attach_agent_headless` helpers.
-   Tests: `forge_env` reaches the sidecar/`guest_env`; `resume --headless` skips
-   the TUI and y/N preflight and returns the agent exit code.
-
-2. **Forge state** — `contrib/gitea/forge_state.py`: `ForgeState` dataclass,
-   `ForgeStateStore` CRUD interface, `SqliteForgeStateStore`. Tests: round-trip,
-   missing → None, `INSERT OR REPLACE` upsert, delete idempotent, `all()`
-   ordering, persistence across store instances.
-
-3. **`Forge` abstraction + Gitea client** — `contrib/forge/base.py` (`Forge`
-   ABC, `ScopedForge`, `Issue` / `PullRequest` / `Comment`) and
-   `contrib/gitea/client.py` + `GiteaForge`: `is_org_member`, `read_issue`,
-   `read_pr`, `read_comments`, `post_comment`, `update_description`,
-   `get_pr_for_issue`, `is_pr_open`. Tests: mock `urllib.request.urlopen`,
-   assert payloads and 404-as-false for membership; `ScopedForge` write-scope
-   enforcement.
-
-4. **Forge sidecar** — sidecar process exposing the protocol over a Unix socket,
-   queue-dir relay, write-scope enforcement, semantic op log, `signal_done`.
-   Reuses the supervise sidecar bundle machinery. Tests: dispatch each method to
-   the `Forge`, reject out-of-scope writes, `signal_done` writes a queue event,
-   scope-rejection is logged.
-
-5. **`./cli.py orchestrate`** — `cli/orchestrate.py` with `start`, `resume`,
-   `status` subcommands wired into `cli.py`; `start` launches the forge sidecar
-   alongside the agent for forge-targeted runs. Tests: arg parsing, `start`
-   delegates to `start --headless`, `resume` delegates to `resume --headless`.
-
-## Provenance
-
-Run provenance is captured (sidecar semantic operation log + run metadata) and
-exposed through a provenance API. It is deliberately **not** surfaced in the
-forge — no footer, no run-summary comment. A mutable, unsigned PR comment is not
-an audit record; the authoritative record lives behind the API where it can be
-retained and signed. The `watchdog_fired` flag marks runs where the agent did
-not self-report completion so consumers of the API know the record may be
-incomplete.
-
-The provenance API's schema, transport, signing, and retention are out of scope
-for this PRD (control-plane work); bot-bottle here produces the raw material
-only.

+# `networking.firewall`, Docker, ufw, firewalld, etc.

+# Creates a pool of point-to-point TAP devices (owned by the invoking

+# dedicated nftables table that isolates every VM: a bottle VM can
+# reach only its own sidecar (published on the host-side TAP IP) and
+# nothing else on the host or network.
+#
+# Why a pool + one-time setup: creating a TAP and assigning it an IP
+# needs CAP_NET_ADMIN. Pre-creating user-owned, pre-addressed TAPs
+# means `./cli.py start` never needs root. The nft table is static
+# (keyed on the `bbfc*` interface wildcard), so it covers every slot
+# without per-launch changes.
+#
+# Design notes:
+#   * No shared bridge — each slot is an isolated /31 host<->guest link,
+#     so there are no bridge name/subnet collisions with docker0,
+#     virbr0 (libvirt), cni0 (k8s) or br-* (docker networks).
+#   * Own nftables table `bot_bottle_fc` — independent of the iptables
+#     filter/nat tables Docker/ufw/firewalld use, so nothing is stomped.
+#   * Default IP block is an obscure RFC-1918 /16 (10.243.0.0/16),
+#     chosen to dodge the usual occupants (docker 172.17-31, libvirt
+#     192.168.122, k8s 10.42/10.244, home LANs). NOT 100.64.0.0/10 —
