docs(prd): unwrap 80-column hard-wrapping in the forge PRD

Reflow the PRD prose to single logical lines per paragraph / list item /
blockquote instead of hard-wrapping at ~80 columns. Code fences, tables,
headings, and blank lines are untouched; content is unchanged (only the
redundant `>` prefixes on the wrapped blockquote were consolidated).

 ## 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 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 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 `sidecars` 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 sidecar bundle plus the `firecracker` binary and KVM. The legacy Docker backend requires Docker. Claude bottles also need a long-lived Claude Code OAuth token (`claude setup-token`) exported as `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN`.

-Use `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=docker ./cli.py start <agent>` on hosts where neither Apple Container nor KVM is available and Docker is the desired backend.
-
-### Firecracker on Linux
-
-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.
-- **`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=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. 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`.
+Use `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=docker ./cli.py start <agent>` on hosts where Apple Container is not installed and Docker is the desired backend.
 
 ```sh
 ./cli.py start <agent>   # builds the image on first run, drops you into claude

-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.
+
+Linux native daemons share the host's network namespace; the
+whole `127.0.0.0/8` is reachable by default and aliases are
+unnecessary. The pool logic detects native-Linux and skips sudo
+entirely; the DB patch is also gated on macOS.
+
+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."""

-# PRD 0067: SQLite local storage
-
-- **Status:** Active
-- **Author:** codex
-- **Created:** 2026-07-01
-- **Issue:** #319
-
-## Summary
-
-Add a small stdlib SQLite storage layer for bot-bottle host runtime state,
-starting with the supervise queue and audit log. This replaces scattered JSON
-queue files and JSONL audit logs with structured tables while preserving the
-existing public supervise helper functions and sidecar queue mount contract.
-
-## Problem
-
-Bot-bottle currently stores supervise proposals and responses as individual JSON
-files under `~/.bot-bottle/queue/<slug>/`, and audit entries as JSONL files
-under `~/.bot-bottle/audit/`. That worked for the original interactive TUI, but
-new forge-native orchestration needs durable, queryable local state for queues,
-audit trails, watchdogs, and lifecycle records. PR #318 started introducing
-SQLite-shaped boilerplate for forge state; the storage foundation should live in
-its own PR so forge work can build on the shared runtime store instead of adding
-one-off persistence.
-
-## Goals / Success Criteria
-
-1. Supervise proposals and responses are persisted through SQLite.
-2. Audit entries are persisted through SQLite.
-3. Supervise queue helpers use the bottle slug / queue key instead of a queue
-   directory path.
-4. The sidecar receives the host database mount across docker, smolmachines,
-   and macOS-container backends.
-5. The implementation stays stdlib-only.
-6. Schema migrations use a `PRAGMA user_version` runner — no third-party deps.
-7. Unit tests cover queue round-trips, pending discovery, response waits,
-   archive semantics, audit round-trips, and path creation.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Migrating old JSON queue files or JSONL audit logs.
-- Adding forge orchestration state tables.
-- Adding egress metering or budget tables.
-- Changing the supervise TUI workflow or remediation behavior.
-- Introducing a third-party ORM or migration library.
-
-## Design
-
-### Database locations
-
-Queue and audit state use the host-level local database:
-
-```text
-~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db
-```
-
-The supervise sidecar receives that database as a writable bind mount at
-`/run/supervise/bot-bottle.db` and gets the path through `SUPERVISE_DB_PATH`.
-No per-slug queue directory is mounted into the sidecar. This creates the shared
-host database that later forge/native lifecycle work can extend in separate
-PRDs.
-
-### Tables
-
-`supervise_proposals` lives in the host database:
-
-```sql
-CREATE TABLE supervise_proposals (
-    queue_key TEXT NOT NULL,
-    id TEXT NOT NULL,
-    bottle_slug TEXT NOT NULL,
-    tool TEXT NOT NULL,
-    proposed_file TEXT NOT NULL,
-    justification TEXT NOT NULL,
-    arrival_timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
-    current_file_hash TEXT NOT NULL,
-    archived INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
-    PRIMARY KEY (queue_key, id)
-);
-```
-
-`supervise_responses` lives in the host database:
-
-```sql
-CREATE TABLE supervise_responses (
-    queue_key TEXT NOT NULL,
-    proposal_id TEXT NOT NULL,
-    status TEXT NOT NULL,
-    notes TEXT NOT NULL,
-    final_file TEXT,
-    archived INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
-    PRIMARY KEY (queue_key, proposal_id)
-);
-```
-
-`supervise_audit_entries` lives in the host database:
-
-```sql
-CREATE TABLE supervise_audit_entries (
-    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
-    timestamp TEXT NOT NULL,
-    bottle_slug TEXT NOT NULL,
-    component TEXT NOT NULL,
-    operator_action TEXT NOT NULL,
-    operator_notes TEXT NOT NULL,
-    justification TEXT NOT NULL,
-    diff TEXT NOT NULL
-);
-```
-
-### Compatibility
-
-The queue helpers take a bottle slug / queue key and perform equivalent
-operations against `~/.bot-bottle/bot-bottle.db`:
-
-- `list_pending_proposals` returns non-archived proposals without a non-archived
-  response, sorted by arrival time.
-- `archive_proposal` marks matching proposal/response rows archived instead of
-  moving files into `processed/`.
-- `wait_for_response` keeps the current polling behavior but polls SQLite.
-
-The old audit path helpers (`audit_dir`, `audit_log_path`) stay available for
-compatibility. `audit_log_path` no longer describes the active storage location;
-callers should use `read_audit_entries`.
-
-## Implementation chunks
-
-1. Add SQLite store helpers for supervise queue and audit state.
-2. Rewire `bot_bottle.supervise` queue/audit functions to the store.
-3. Update supervise CLI discovery tests and queue/audit unit tests.
-4. Run unit tests, pyright, and pylint for touched modules.
-
-## Open questions
-
-None.

-
-> **Superseded (2026-07-11).** The smolmachines backend was removed — Linux now uses the Firecracker backend, macOS uses macos-container. Kept as a historical record; see the removal commit `c07ebca` and `docs/research/landscape-containerized-claude.md`.

-
-## Summary
-
-Make the `smolmachines` backend (PRD 0023) runnable on Linux, not
-just macOS. `smolvm` already supports Linux via KVM (`/dev/kvm`);
-the gap is entirely in bot-bottle's host-side glue, which hard-codes
-macOS assumptions in three places:
-
-1. **Preflight** only checks that `smolvm` is on `PATH` — it never
-   checks the Linux KVM prerequisite, so a misconfigured host fails
-   deep in the launch flow with an opaque `smolvm` error.
-2. **The TSI allowlist enforcement** (`force_allowlist`) — the
-   security property that confines the agent VM to its sidecar
-   bundle's `/32` — **no-ops on Linux today, failing _open_**. The
-   smolvm state-DB path it patches is hard-coded to macOS's
-   `~/Library/Application Support/...`.
-3. **Per-bottle loopback scoping** (`allocate`) returns the shared
-   `127.0.0.1` on Linux, which would let the agent VM reach every
-   service on host loopback — a downgrade from the per-bottle alias
-   isolation macOS gets.
-
-This PRD closes all three so a bottle launched with
-`BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines` on Linux gets the same isolation
-guarantee it gets on macOS, and documents the Linux/NixOS host
-setup. The primary validation target is NixOS, but the changes are
-distro-agnostic.
-
-## Problem
-
-The smolmachines backend runs each bottle's agent inside a libkrun
-microVM via `smolvm`, with egress confined by TSI's `--allow-cidr`
-allowlist set to a single `/32` — the sidecar bundle's loopback
-address. Everything else (host loopback, LAN, internet) is denied at
-the VMM layer. That security property is the entire reason the
-backend exists.
-
-libkrun runs on Hypervisor.framework (macOS) **and** KVM (Linux), and
-`smolvm` ships Linux x86_64 / aarch64 builds that require `/dev/kvm`.
-So the microVM layer already works on Linux. What does not work is
-bot-bottle's host integration, which PRD 0023 explicitly scoped to
-macOS-only for v1. Three concrete blockers:
-
-- **No KVM preflight.** On a Linux host without `/dev/kvm` (kernel
-  module not loaded) or without access to it (user not in the `kvm`
-  group), the failure surfaces as a cryptic `smolvm` non-zero exit
-  mid-launch instead of an actionable message.
-
-- **TSI enforcement fails open on Linux.** `force_allowlist`
-  early-returns on non-macOS. It exists because `smolvm` 0.8.0
-  silently drops `--allow-cidr` when combined with `--from`, so the
-  allowlist has to be patched into smolvm's persisted state DB before
-  `machine start`. On Linux that patch never runs **and** the DB path
-  is the macOS path, so the booted VM's TSI allowlist is whatever
-  smolvm defaulted to — potentially all of `127.0.0.0/8`. That is the
-  exact sandbox-escape the backend is supposed to prevent.
-
-- **No per-bottle loopback isolation on Linux.** `allocate` returns
-  `127.0.0.1` on Linux. Even with a correct allowlist, `127.0.0.1/32`
-  is shared by every service on host loopback, so the agent could
-  reach other bottles' published ports and host services. On macOS
-  this is solved with per-bottle `127.0.0.16..31` aliases added via
-  `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias`. On Linux the whole `127.0.0.0/8` is
-  already routed to `lo`, so docker can publish to `127.0.0.<N>`
-  with **no `ifconfig`/sudo step at all** — the isolation is actually
-  cheaper to achieve than on macOS.
-
-## Goals / Success Criteria
-
-- `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines ./cli.py start <agent>` launches,
-  runs, and tears down a bottle on a Linux host with `/dev/kvm`.
-- The TSI allowlist is enforced on Linux: PRD 0022's
-  `tests/integration/test_sandbox_escape.py` passes against
-  `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines` on Linux (the acceptance gate).
-- Each Linux bottle is scoped to its own `127.0.0.<N>/32`, matching
-  the macOS per-bottle isolation property.
-- A clear, actionable preflight error when `/dev/kvm` is missing or
-  inaccessible, with remediation (load `kvm-intel`/`kvm-amd`, join the
-  `kvm` group).
-- **Fail-closed:** if bot-bottle cannot positively confirm the TSI
-  allowlist was persisted for a machine (DB missing, row missing,
-  patch didn't take), it `die()`s before `machine start` rather than
-  booting a VM with an unverified allowlist.
-- macOS behavior is unchanged.
-- README documents Linux + NixOS host setup.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Rootless / non-KVM fallbacks (e.g. software emulation). Linux
-  smolmachines requires `/dev/kvm`, full stop.
-- Removing Docker as a host dependency — the sidecar bundle and
-  image-build pipeline still use Docker on Linux, same as macOS.
-- Auto-installing `smolvm` or configuring KVM on the operator's
-  behalf. Preflight reports; the operator remediates.
-- Nested-virtualization tuning for running the runner itself inside a
-  VM (documented as a caveat, not solved here).
-
-## Design
-
-### Platform detection
-
-Reuse the existing `platform.system()` check already in
-`loopback_alias.py` (`_is_macos()`). "Linux" is "not macOS" for every
-branch below; no new third-platform path.
-
-### Preflight: KVM gate (`util.smolmachines_preflight`)
-
-After the existing `smolvm`-on-`PATH` check, add a Linux-only gate:
-
-- `/dev/kvm` must exist → else `die()` with "enable KVM
-  (`kvm-intel`/`kvm-amd` kernel module)".
-- `/dev/kvm` must be readable + writable by the current user
-  (`os.access(..., R_OK | W_OK)`) → else `die()` with "add your user
-  to the `kvm` group (and re-login)".
-
-macOS is unaffected (Hypervisor.framework needs no device node).
-
-### smolvm state-DB path (platform-aware)
-
-`loopback_alias._SMOLVM_DB_PATH` becomes platform-derived:
-
-- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`
-  (unchanged).
-- Linux: `$XDG_DATA_HOME/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`, defaulting to
-  `~/.local/share/smolvm/server/smolvm.db`.
-
-> **Verification note:** the Linux DB location is inferred from
-> smolvm's documented `~/.local/share` install layout and the XDG
-> base-dir spec. It must be confirmed on a real Linux smolvm install;
-> if smolvm uses a different path or schema, the fail-closed check
-> below turns that into a clear `die()` at launch rather than a silent
-> escape.
-
-### TSI enforcement: cross-platform + fail-closed (`force_allowlist`)
-
-Rework `force_allowlist(machine_name, allowed_cidrs)` to run on
-**both** platforms and to fail closed:
-
-1. Resolve the state DB; if the file is missing, `die()` (cannot
-   confirm enforcement → refuse to launch).
-2. Read the machine's persisted row; if the row is missing, `die()`.
-3. If the row's `allowed_cidrs` already equals the requested list
-   (e.g. a newer `smolvm` that honors `--allow-cidr` at create), do
-   nothing — no write.
-4. Otherwise patch `allowed_cidrs` (the existing BLOB-encoded write)
-   and re-read.
-5. If, after the patch, `allowed_cidrs` still does not equal the
-   requested list, `die()`.
-
-This is robust across smolvm versions: it works whether `--allow-cidr`
-is silently dropped (0.8.0) or honored (newer), and it never boots a
-VM whose persisted allowlist it could not confirm. It is a strict
-improvement on macOS too (today's code writes unconditionally and
-never verifies).
-
-> The persisted-row check confirms our write took, not that smolvm's
-> runtime TSI enforces it. The runtime guarantee is covered by the
-> sandbox-escape acceptance test; the persisted check is the cheap
-> fail-closed guard at launch.
-
-### Per-bottle loopback scoping on Linux (`allocate`)
-
-`allocate` runs the same docker-state-driven allocation on Linux as on
-macOS (`_allocate_locked`, the file lock, and `_aliases_in_use` via
-`docker inspect` are all already cross-platform). The only macOS-only
-step, `ensure_pool` (the `sudo ifconfig lo0 alias` dance), stays
-macOS-only: on Linux `127.0.0.0/8` is already loopback, so docker can
-publish bundle ports directly on `127.0.0.<N>` with no setup.
-
-Net effect: Linux bottles get per-bottle `127.0.0.16..31/32` scoping
-identical to macOS, without sudo.
-
-### Launch flow
-
-`launch.py` needs no structural change — `_allocate_resources` already
-calls `ensure_pool()` (now a Linux no-op) then `allocate()` (now
-per-bottle on Linux), and `_launch_vm` already calls
-`force_allowlist()` (now active on Linux). Only the macOS-specific
-docstrings are updated to describe the cross-platform behavior.
-
-## Implementation chunks
-
-1. **Preflight KVM gate** — `util.smolmachines_preflight` +
-   unit tests for the missing-device and no-access branches.
-2. **Platform-aware DB path + fail-closed `force_allowlist`** —
-   `loopback_alias.py`; update/extend `TestForceAllowlist`.
-3. **Cross-platform `allocate`** — drop the Linux early-return; update
-   `TestAllocate` / `TestAllocateLock` for the new Linux behavior.
-4. **Docstring + comment cleanup** in `launch.py` and module headers.
-5. **Docs** — README requirements + a Linux/NixOS host-setup section.
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-- **Unit (CI, any OS):** the suite mocks `platform.system()` /
-  `subprocess` and patches `_SMOLVM_DB_PATH`, so the new Linux
-  branches are testable on the macOS/Linux CI runner without `smolvm`
-  or KVM. Covers: KVM preflight branches, fail-closed `force_allowlist`
-  (DB missing, row missing, patch-doesn't-take), per-bottle Linux
-  allocation + locking, platform-derived DB path.
-- **Integration (Linux host with KVM — the acceptance gate):**
-  `tests/integration/test_sandbox_escape.py` against
-  `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=smolmachines`. This cannot run on the macOS dev
-  box and must be executed on NixOS before merge.
-
-## Open questions / verification pending
-
-- **Confirm the Linux smolvm state-DB path and schema** on a real
-  install (the `~/.local/share/...` inference above).
-- **Confirm whether the current smolvm Linux build still drops
-  `--allow-cidr` with `--from`** (the 0.8.0 bug). The fail-closed
-  design handles either answer, but knowing lets us drop the DB patch
-  if upstream fixed it.
-- **Confirm docker publishing to `127.0.0.<N>` on Linux** behaves as
-  expected end-to-end with TSI (high confidence; standard loopback
-  behavior, but unverified on the target host).

-# PRD 0069: Firecracker-native, Docker-free backend
-
-- **Status:** Draft
-- **Author:** Claude
-- **Created:** 2026-07-12
-- **Issue:** #348
-
-## 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

+# 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.

 # smolmachines as a VM backend for bot-bottle
 
-> **Superseded (2026-07-11).** The smolmachines backend was removed — Linux now uses the Firecracker backend, macOS uses macos-container. Kept as a historical record; see the removal commit `c07ebca` and `docs/research/landscape-containerized-claude.md`.

 Evaluation of whether [smolmachines](https://smolmachines.com/) would
 simplify the macOS agent-VM-isolation work spelled out in
