 ## Architecture
 
-On the default macOS Apple Container backend, a bottle is an agent container on a host-only internal network plus a gateway 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 gateway's internal-network IP, so HTTP/HTTPS traffic flows through the gateway 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 Firecracker backend, a bottle is an agent microVM plus a Docker gateway for egress, git-gate, and supervise. The VM reaches the gateway 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 gateway. The TAP pool and nft table are provisioned once (root); per-launch needs no privilege.
+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 legacy Docker backend, the same logical bottle is two containers per agent: an `agent` container and a `companion containers` container. They share a per-agent Docker `--internal` network; the agent has no default route off-box.

 ## Quickstart
 
-On compatible macOS hosts, the default backend requires Apple's `container` CLI and does not require Docker. The Firecracker backend (Linux) requires Docker on the host for the gateway plus the `firecracker` binary and KVM. The legacy Docker backend requires Docker.

-On Linux, a KVM-capable host defaults to the Firecracker backend. It needs:
+The smolmachines backend runs on Linux as well as macOS. On Linux, `smolvm`/libkrun use KVM, so the host needs:
 
 - **`/dev/kvm`** present and accessible. Load `kvm-intel` or `kvm-amd` (and enable virtualization in BIOS/firmware). The invoking user must be in the `kvm` group: `sudo usermod -aG kvm "$USER"` then re-login. bot-bottle preflights this and reports exactly what's missing.
-- **`firecracker`** on `PATH`: grab a release from <https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/releases>. Start flows print this pointer when the binary is missing.
+- **`smolvm`** on `PATH`: `curl -sSL https://smolmachines.com/install.sh | sh`.
-- **Docker** for the gateway and image build.
+- **Docker** for the sidecar bundle and image build, same as macOS.
-- **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.
+
+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`.

-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.

+"""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.
+
+Removable once smolvm grows native SIGWINCH forwarding (upstream
+follow-up tracked separately)."""

+"""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."""
