test(secrets): cover per-bottle egress secret encryption

Add unit coverage for the encrypted at-rest egress secrets: the
secret_store round-trip (new_env_var_secret/encrypt_value/decrypt_value)
and the registry/service wiring that injects ENV_VAR_SECRET.

Recovered from the bot-bottle-claude-agent-1 VM after the CI runner's
disk filled and forced its rootfs read-only; committed work was already
on origin, these were the agent's uncommitted changes.

-orchestrator": container↔container between the gateway and the orchestrator
-avoids the host firewall (which drops container→host traffic), and the gateway
-reaches the control plane by container name over docker DNS. The host CLI
-reaches it via a published loopback port.
+Runs both the orchestrator control plane and the gateway data plane inside
+a single `bot-bottle-infra` container on the shared gateway network —
+matching the structure already used by the macOS and Firecracker backends.
+`gateway_init` is PID 1 and supervises both; the infra container is an
+idempotent per-host singleton.
 
-The orchestrator runs with the **register-only broker** — the *backend*
-launches agent containers (compose), so the orchestrator needs no docker
-socket. That keeps this control-plane container unprivileged; the host manages
-both containers. `ensure_running` is an idempotent singleton (fixed container
-names + the published port).
+The combined container replaces the prior two-container split
+(bot-bottle-orchestrator + bot-bottle-orch-gateway). The host CLI reaches
+the control plane via a published loopback port; gateway daemons reach it

 hoc. `sqlite3` itself is stdlib, so "the host needs SQLite" is a non-cost.
 
+### Gateway CA: host-resident, like the DB
+
+The shared gateway bumps TLS with a self-generated mitmproxy CA, and **every
+bottle installs that CA** into its trust store to accept the bumped leaves. So
+the CA is durable per-host state with the same rule as the DB: it must outlive
+any single gateway container, or a restart mints a fresh CA that every
+already-running bottle distrusts — the TLS handshake then fails even after the
+bottle re-resolves and reconnects to the moved gateway (issue #450, a

+
+The CA lives on the **host filesystem** at `bot_bottle_root()/gateway-ca`
+(`host_gateway_ca_dir()`), bind-mounted into the container at mitmproxy's
+confdir. This is deliberately a host bind-mount, **not a container-runtime
+named volume**: a named volume survives ordinary container removal but can be
+silently wiped by Docker's or Apple Container's volume-prune commands during
+routine host maintenance, which is exactly how the ephemeral-CA symptom shows
+up in practice. A path under the app-data root is not managed or pruned by the
+container runtime, and stays directly inspectable and rotatable from the host.
+mitmproxy reuses an existing CA and generates one only on first run, so the
+bind-mount alone gives
+"adopt-existing, generate-on-first-run" for free.
+
+The macOS backend uses the same host-resident CA directory and bind-mounts it
+into the consolidated Apple infra container. Its `bot-bottle-mac-db` named
+volume remains container-only because that prevents incoherent cross-kernel
+SQLite locking, but the CA is deliberately not stored there: Apple Container
+also has a `container volume prune` operation, and the named volume is
+temporarily unreferenced while the infra container is recreated. Keeping the
+CA on the host makes both ordinary recreation and volume pruning safe.
+
+**Deliberate rollover** is the explicit inverse: `rotate_gateway_ca()` removes
+the persisted CA material so the next start remints it, and the
+`python -m bot_bottle.orchestrator.rotate_ca` one-shot wires that together with
+dropping the running gateway container (whose mitmproxy still holds the old CA
+in memory). Rotation does not auto-re-provision the new CA into running bottles
+— those re-attach to install the new anchor — so it is an operator action with
+a brief egress interruption, never an implicit one.

+# PRD prd-new: CI artifact-based coverage and local Firecracker candidate flow
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-21
+- **Issue:** #446
+
+## Summary
+
+Restructure the CI test pipeline to run each test suite exactly once, upload
+small `.coverage.*` artifacts, and combine them in a lightweight aggregation
+job. Move the infra build onto the KVM runner so the ~194 MB rootfs never
+crosses the network for PRs. On main-branch pushes, publish the byte-identical
+rootfs that was tested.
+
+## Motivation
+
+The prior pipeline had two redundant costs:
+
+1. **Duplicate artifact transfers.** `build-infra` (ubuntu-latest) built and
+   uploaded the ~194 MB rootfs; `integration-firecracker` downloaded it; the
+   `coverage` job downloaded it a second time. Combined download overhead: ~83
+   seconds per run, plus the ~70-second upload.
+
+2. **Duplicate test execution.** `integration-firecracker` ran the Firecracker
+   integration suite; `coverage` ran the entire unit + integration suite again
+   on the same KVM runner to collect coverage data. Every line of Firecracker
+   code was tested twice per CI run.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Each test suite (unit, integration-docker, integration-firecracker) executes
+  exactly once per workflow run.
+- PRs incur no large artifact transfers — the rootfs stays on the KVM runner.
+- Main-branch pushes publish a byte-for-byte identical rootfs to the one that
+  passed the integration tests.
+- Concurrent workflow runs cannot cross-publish candidates (naturally enforced
+  by Gitea Actions' per-run artifact scoping).
+- Failed or cancelled runs block publication (enforced by the `needs:` chain on
+  `publish-infra`).
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Changing test semantics or the coverage policy (ADR 0004).
+- Removing the KVM runner guard on `integration-firecracker` and `coverage`.
+- Changing how `publish_infra.py` builds or uploads the rootfs.
+
+## Design
+
+### Job graph
+
+```
+unit ──────────────────────────────────┐
+integration-docker ────────────────────┤──► coverage ──► publish-infra (main only)
+integration-firecracker (KVM) ─────────┘
+```
+
+### `unit`
+
+Unchanged except: `coverage run` writes `--data-file=.coverage.unit`; the file
+is uploaded as the `coverage-unit` artifact.
+
+### `integration-docker`
+
+Adds a `coverage` install step. `coverage run` writes `--data-file=.coverage.docker`;
+the file is uploaded as `coverage-docker`.
+
+### `integration-firecracker` (KVM runner)
+
+Replaces the old `stage-firecracker-inputs` → `build-infra` → download chain:
+
+1. Builds the infra candidate locally with
+   `BOT_BOTTLE_FC_DROPBEAR=/var/cache/bot-bottle-fc/dropbear`.
+2. Boots the candidate and runs integration tests with coverage, writing
+   `.coverage.firecracker`.
+3. Uploads the small `coverage-firecracker` artifact unconditionally.
+4. On main-branch pushes only, uploads the rootfs as `infra-candidate` and the
+   dropbear as `firecracker-inputs` so `publish-infra` can verify and publish
+   the byte-identical artifact.
+
+### `coverage`
+
+Moves from a KVM runner to `ubuntu-latest`. No tests are re-executed:
+
+1. Downloads `coverage-unit`, `coverage-docker`, and `coverage-firecracker`.
+2. Runs `scripts/coverage.sh aggregate critical`, which calls
+   `coverage combine` then `coverage report`.
+3. Runs the diff-coverage gate (`scripts/diff_coverage.py`).
+
+Coverage files use `relative_files = True` (`.coveragerc`) so they combine
+cleanly across runners with different absolute workspace paths.
+
+### `publish-infra`
+
+Depends on all four predecessor jobs (unchanged gate). Downloads `infra-candidate`
+and `firecracker-inputs` that were uploaded by `integration-firecracker` on
+main — the same byte sequence that passed the integration tests.
+
+### Eliminated jobs
+
+- `stage-firecracker-inputs`: existed only to copy the dropbear to ubuntu-latest
+  for `build-infra`. No longer needed.
+- `build-infra`: the infra candidate is now built on the KVM runner in
+  `integration-firecracker`.
+
+### Script changes
+
+`scripts/coverage.sh` gains an `aggregate` mode (`coverage.sh aggregate [critical]`)
+that combines pre-existing `.coverage.*` files instead of re-running tests.
+The existing run mode (`coverage.sh [critical]`) is preserved for local dev.

+# PRD prd-new: Claude forward_host_credentials
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-01
+- **Issue:** #325
+
+## Summary
+
+Add `agent_provider.forward_host_credentials: true` support for the
+`claude` template, mirroring the existing Codex flow. When enabled,
+bot-bottle reads the host's Claude OAuth session key from
+`~/.claude/.credentials.json` at launch, forwards it only to the egress sidecar,
+and injects a placeholder `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` into the agent so
+Claude Code starts without ever seeing the real credential.
+
+## Problem
+
+Running a Claude agent in a container today requires the operator to
+manually extract a long-lived OAuth token (`claude setup-token`), export
+it as `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, and reference it explicitly in
+the manifest with `agent_provider.auth_token:
+"BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_OAUTH_TOKEN"`. This is a two-step manual ceremony
+that is easy to skip or do incorrectly.
+
+The host already stores a valid Claude session in `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
+after `claude login`. Codex already automates an
+equivalent extraction from `~/.codex/auth.json`. There is no reason
+Claude bottles cannot do the same.
+
+## Goals / Success Criteria
+
+- A Claude bottle with `forward_host_credentials: true` in the manifest
+  uses the host's `~/.claude/.credentials.json` session key at launch with no
+  additional operator steps.
+- The agent container receives only `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=egress-placeholder`
+  — never the real token.
+- The real session key lives only in the egress sidecar's environment.
+- Missing, malformed, or expired host Claude auth fails launch with a
+  clear operator-facing message.
+- Existing `auth_token` behavior is unchanged.
+- `forward_host_credentials: true` is rejected in the manifest when both
+  `auth_token` and `forward_host_credentials` are set, since they serve
+  the same purpose.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Refreshing Claude OAuth tokens in the sidecar.
+- Writing a dummy `~/.claude.json` auth state to the agent (unlike the
+  Codex flow, Claude Code reads its credential from `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`
+  in env, not from an auth file — no guest-side auth marker is needed).
+- Supporting `forward_host_credentials` for providers other than `codex`
+  and `claude`.
+
+## Design
+
+### Manifest schema
+
+```yaml
+agent_provider:
+  template: claude
+  forward_host_credentials: true
+```
+
+Rejects in manifest validation when:
+- Template is not `codex` or `claude`.
+- Both `auth_token` and `forward_host_credentials` are set.
+
+### Host auth extraction (`contrib/claude/claude_auth.py`)
+
+Claude Code credential storage varies by platform:
+
+- **Linux**: `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
+- **macOS**: macOS Keychain, service `"Claude Code-credentials"`
+  (the file path is tried first; Keychain is the fallback when the file
+  is absent)
+
+`~/.claude.json` contains only UI state and profile metadata — no token.
+
+The credentials JSON schema (same whether from file or Keychain):
+
+```json
+{
+  "claudeAiOauth": {
+    "accessToken": "<access-token>",
+    "refreshToken": "<refresh-token>",
+    "expiresAt": 1748276587173,
+    "scopes": ["user:inference", "user:profile"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+`expiresAt` is in **milliseconds** (not seconds).
+
+At prepare/launch time, when `forward_host_credentials: true`:
+
+1. Try `~/.claude/.credentials.json`; on macOS, if absent, run
+   `security find-generic-password -s "Claude Code-credentials" -w`
+   and parse its stdout as JSON.
+2. Require a `claudeAiOauth` dict.
+3. Require a non-empty `claudeAiOauth.accessToken` string.
+4. If `claudeAiOauth.expiresAt` is present, divide by 1000 and require
+   the result to be in the future.
+5. Return only the access token to the launch path.
+
+Errors name the missing or invalid condition and point the operator at
+`claude login`, without printing token values.
+
+### Egress route
+
+When `forward_host_credentials: true`:
+
+- Provision the session key in `provisioned_env` under
+  `BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_HOST_ACCESS_TOKEN` (new constant in `egress.py`).
+- Set up the `api.anthropic.com` egress route with `auth_scheme: Bearer`
+  and `token_ref: BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_HOST_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
+- Set `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN=egress-placeholder` in the agent env and
+  add it to `hidden_env_names`.
+
+No dummy auth file and no `verify` step are needed — Claude Code reads
+the credential from the env var, not from a file.
+
+### Constants
+
+- `CLAUDE_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF = "BOT_BOTTLE_CLAUDE_HOST_ACCESS_TOKEN"`
+  in `egress.py` (alongside the existing `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_TOKEN_REF`).
+- `CLAUDE_HOST_CREDENTIAL_HOSTS = ("api.anthropic.com",)` in
+  `agent_provider.py` (alongside the existing `CODEX_HOST_CREDENTIAL_HOSTS`).
+
+### Data flow
+
+```
+Host ~/.claude/.credentials.json  →  bot-bottle launch
+                            │
+                            ├──► egress sidecar env (real token only)

+
+Agent  →  HTTPS to api.anthropic.com (via egress)
+Egress →  injects Authorization: Bearer <real token>
+Egress →  forwards to api.anthropic.com

+# PRD prd-new: Consolidate infra backend for Docker
+
+- **Status:** Active
+- **Author:** Claude
+- **Created:** 2026-07-20
+- **Issue:** #431
+
+## Summary
+
+The Docker backend runs two containers — `bot-bottle-orch-gateway` (gateway
+data plane) and `bot-bottle-orchestrator` (control plane) — where the
+macOS and Firecracker backends already run a single combined infra
+unit. This PRD collapses Docker to the same model: one `bot-bottle-infra`
+container running both processes under the `gateway_init` supervise tree, a
+restructured `Dockerfile.infra` as the shared gateway+orchestrator base,
+and a handful of extracted shared utilities (CA cert polling, teardown
+sequence, launch skeleton) that are currently duplicated across all three
+`consolidated_launch.py` files.
+
+## Goals / success criteria
+
+- Docker backend starts exactly one infra container instead of two.
+- `Dockerfile.infra` is the shared base image (gateway + orchestrator, no
+  buildah); the Firecracker image layers buildah on top of it.
+- The orchestrator process runs under the `gateway_init` supervise tree
+  inside the combined container (one PID-1, one restart/health surface).
+- CA cert polling, the teardown sequence, and the shared launch skeleton
+  (ensure-infra → register → provision → return context) live in a single
+  shared module; all three backends import from it.
+- No functional change to macOS or Firecracker launch paths.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Changing per-bottle isolation — agents stay one-VM/container-each.
+- Consolidating transport implementations (`DockerGatewayTransport`,
+  `AppleGatewayTransport`, `SshGatewayTransport`) — these are already the
+  right abstraction boundary.
+- macOS DHCP-inversion of registration order — irreducible backend
+  difference, stays as-is.
+- Any changes to the orchestrator RPC protocol or the attribution model.
+
+## Design
+
+### Dockerfile restructuring
+
+**Current shape:**
+
+- `Dockerfile.gateway` — data plane (mitmproxy, gitleaks, git, openssh,
+  supervise daemons)
+- `Dockerfile.orchestrator` — control plane (python:3.12-slim + bot_bottle
+  package; stdlib-only, no third-party deps)
+- `Dockerfile.infra` — Firecracker only: `FROM bot-bottle-gateway` +
+  buildah + `COPY --from bot-bottle-orchestrator`
+
+**New shape:**
+
+- `Dockerfile.gateway` — unchanged
+- `Dockerfile.orchestrator` — unchanged (single definition of orchestrator
+  content; both Docker infra and Firecracker infra `COPY --from` it)
+- `Dockerfile.infra` — **shared base**: `FROM bot-bottle-gateway` + `COPY
+  --from bot-bottle-orchestrator` (no buildah — Docker infra image)
+- `Dockerfile.infra.fc` — Firecracker only: `FROM bot-bottle-infra` +
+  buildah/crun/netavark/aardvark-dns (layered on the shared base, same net
+  result as today)
+
+The comment in `Dockerfile.infra` that says "the docker backend keeps
+orchestrator + gateway as separate images; this combined image exists only
+for the Firecracker single-VM cut" is removed.
+
+### Orchestrator in the supervise tree
+
+`gateway_init` already supervises the data-plane daemons (egress, git-http,
+supervise-MCP). The orchestrator control plane is added as another supervised
+process: `python3 -m bot_bottle.orchestrator --host 0.0.0.0 --port <port>
+--broker stub`.
+
+The orchestrator source is bind-mounted (`/app` → repo root, as today) so
+dev live-reload still works. `source_hash`-based container recreation in
+`OrchestratorService.ensure_running` continues to apply — a code change
+recreates the combined infra container, which bounces both gateway and
+orchestrator. This is acceptable: the docker backend is a dev/legacy target
+where in-flight egress connections across a code deploy are not a hard
+requirement.
+
+### `OrchestratorService` changes
+
+`OrchestratorService` currently starts two containers in sequence: gateway
+first (`DockerGateway.ensure_running`), then orchestrator. After this PRD:
+
+- Single `docker run` of `bot-bottle-infra:latest`
+- Container name: `bot-bottle-infra` (replaces `bot-bottle-orch-gateway` +
+  `bot-bottle-orchestrator`)
+- Published ports: `127.0.0.1:{host_port}:8099` for the control plane
+  (`gateway_init` listens on a fixed internal port 8099; the caller-chosen
+  host port maps to it)
+- Bind mounts: repo root + host root (same as today)
+- `DockerGateway` becomes an implementation detail of `OrchestratorService`
+  rather than a separately started container; the gateway image name
+  (`GATEWAY_IMAGE`) is no longer referenced at runtime, only at build time
+  for the `Dockerfile.infra` base
+
+The `_gateway()` / `ensure_running` two-step in `OrchestratorService` is
+replaced by a single `_run_infra_container()`.
+
+### Shared backend utilities
+
+Three items are duplicated across
+`backend/docker/consolidated_launch.py`,
+`backend/macos_container/consolidated_launch.py`, and
+`backend/firecracker/consolidated_launch.py`:
+
+1. **CA cert polling loop** — `deadline = time.monotonic() + timeout; while
+   ...: try fetch CA; sleep` — extracted to
+   `backend/consolidated_util.py:poll_ca_cert(transport, *, timeout)`.
+
+2. **Teardown sequence** — `OrchestratorClient(url).teardown_bottle(id)` +
+   `deprovision_git_gate(transport, id)` — extracted to
+   `backend/consolidated_util.py:teardown_consolidated(url, transport,
+   bottle_id)`.
+
+3. **Launch skeleton** — all three follow: ensure-infra → allocate/register
+   → provision git-gate → fetch CA cert → return launch context. The macOS
+   inversion (agent starts before registration, source IP from DHCP) is the
+   only deviation. Extract a shared `_provision_bottle(transport, bottle_id,
+   plan, orchestrator_url)` helper covering the register → provision →
+   return-token steps; the backends keep their own `launch_consolidated`
+   wrappers for the before/after (infra-ensure + agent-start + IP
+   allocation), calling the shared helper.
+
+The new `backend/consolidated_util.py` module holds only backend-neutral,
+transport-agnostic logic. All three backends import from it.
+
+## Implementation chunks
+
+1. **(this PR)** Dockerfile restructuring: rename current `Dockerfile.infra`

+# PRD prd-new: Modernize built-in agent images
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** Codex
+- **Created:** 2026-07-21
+- **Issue:** #451
+
+## Summary
+
+Keep every built-in agent provider on Debian's current stable release and make
+Podman available inside each image. This gives agents a consistent, modern
+userspace and an OCI container tool without requiring per-project setup.
+
+## Problem
+
+The Claude, Codex, and Pi images inherit the generic `node:22-slim` tag. That
+tag does not state which Debian release the project supports and currently
+leaves the images on the older Bookworm release. None of the built-in images
+installs Podman, so tasks that need to inspect or build OCI images must first
+modify the bottle or cannot run at all.
+
+## Goals / success criteria
+
+- Every Dockerfile under `bot_bottle/contrib/*/Dockerfile` explicitly inherits
+  `node:22-trixie-slim`, based on Debian 13 (the current stable release).
+- Every built-in agent image installs Podman from Debian stable.
+- Every built-in agent image retains an SSH client for Git-over-SSH workflows.
+- The non-root agent user owns a traversable XDG Git configuration directory,
+  so Git can load bot-bottle's global git-gate rewrites without permission
+  errors.
+- A shared test enforces both requirements for current and future built-in
+  providers.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Configuring privileged or nested-container execution for bottles.
+- Pinning Podman outside Debian's stable package repository.
+- Changing the Node.js or agent CLI release policy.
+
+## Design
+
+Use the explicit `node:22-trixie-slim` base rather than the floating `slim`
+variant. Install the `podman` package with each image's existing `apt-get`
+dependency layer, so package metadata and caches are still removed in the same
+layer. Treat Debian stable as the Podman stability and update channel; this
+keeps the images stdlib/distribution-first and avoids adding a third-party
+package repository.

+# PRD prd-new: Encrypted at-rest egress secrets (SecretProvider, interim slice)
+
+- **Status:** Draft
+- **Author:** didericis
+- **Created:** 2026-07-21
+- **Issue:** #355
+
+## Summary
+
+An interim step toward the generic `SecretProvider` (#355) that stops short
+of per-request minting. Today the orchestrator holds each bottle's egress
+auth tokens **in process memory only**, so any infra-container recreation
+silently strips every already-running bottle of its upstream credentials.
+This PRD makes those secrets survive a gateway restart by persisting them
+**encrypted**, under a key that is not itself sitting next to the
+ciphertext.
+
+The end state in #355 — short-lived, scoped credentials minted per request
+— removes the need to store anything durable at all. That is a larger
+change gated on per-upstream minting support. This slice buys back
+restart-survivability now without regressing to plaintext secrets at rest.
+
+## Problem
+
+`Orchestrator._tokens` (`bot_bottle/orchestrator/service.py:74-79`) is a
+plain in-memory dict, deliberately never written to the registry DB:
+
+> Held **in memory only** — never written to the registry DB — so the
+> gateway can inject each bottle's upstream credential without secrets at
+> rest. Lost on restart (re-launch re-registers them); the future
+> SecretProvider (#355) replaces this with per-request minting.
+
+The registry itself *is* durable (SQLite on a container-only volume), and
+so is the gateway CA since #450 / `2cd44cf7`. The tokens are now the only
+piece of gateway state that does not survive a restart, which makes the
+failure mode both silent and confusing.
+
+### Observed failure
+
+Checking out a branch that touches `bot_bottle/**/*.py` changes
+`source_hash()` (`bot_bottle/orchestrator/lifecycle.py:88-99`).
+`MacosInfraService._source_current()`
+(`bot_bottle/backend/macos_container/infra.py:159-169`) sees the mismatch
+and `ensure_running()` force-removes and recreates the infra container
+(`infra.py:198-208`). The registry rows survive on the DB volume; the CA
+survives on its host bind-mount; `_tokens` comes back empty.
+
+Every already-running bottle then fails closed, mid-session, on its next
+outbound request:
+
+- `/resolve` succeeds — the bottle is still `active` in
+  `orchestrator_bottles` and its policy blob is served intact, including
+  `- host: "api.anthropic.com"` with `auth_scheme: Bearer` /
+  `token_env: EGRESS_TOKEN_0`.
+- `tokens_for()` returns `{}`, so the resolved env overlay has no
+  `EGRESS_TOKEN_0`.
+- `decide()` (`bot_bottle/egress_addon_core.py:644-652`) blocks with
+  `egress: route for 'api.anthropic.com' declared auth but env var
+  'EGRESS_TOKEN_0' is unset` — an 89-byte `403` on every request.
+
+Confirmed live on the macOS backend on 2026-07-21: two bottles running
+since 20:29/20:30 were still registered `active` with valid policy after
+the 23:05 infra recreation, and both took 89-byte `403`s from then on,
+while a bottle launched *after* the recreation egressed normally. The
+recovery today is to relaunch every affected bottle.
+
+Note this is a re-attachment blocker distinct from #443/#445 and from #450
+— the CA and the gateway address were both fine. It is specifically the
+credential wipe.
+
+## Goals / Success criteria
+
+1. A bottle's egress auth tokens survive infra-container recreation: an
+   already-running bottle keeps egressing across a gateway restart with no
+   relaunch and no operator action.
+2. Secrets are **never** at rest in plaintext, and never at rest next to a
+   key that trivially decrypts them.
+3. Compromise of the registry DB file alone does not yield usable
+   upstream credentials.
+4. The stored form is revocable and rotatable without relaunching bottles
+   that are not affected.
+5. Reap/teardown destroys a bottle's stored secrets along with its
+   registry row (no ciphertext outliving its bottle).
+6. Migration is transparent: existing bottles keep working, no manifest
+   changes required.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- **Per-request minting** of short-lived scoped credentials. That is the
+  #355 end state; this PRD is explicitly the interim slice and should not
+  foreclose it.
+- Generalizing `DeployKeyProvisioner` into the full `SecretProvider` ABC,
+  or the manifest-level `{ provider: <name> }` reference surface.
+- User-extensible provider discovery (`~/.bot-bottle/contrib/<name>/`).
+- Changing the `/resolve` contract's shape (it already carries `tokens`).
+- Fixing the *trigger* — `source_hash` churn on branch switch. Recreating
+  infra is legitimate; it just must not cost running bottles their
+  credentials. A separate guard that refuses recreation while bottles are
+  active is complementary and out of scope here.
+
+## Design
+
+> **TODO (didericis):** the encryption flow goes here — key custody, where
+> the key material lives relative to the ciphertext, the wrap/unwrap path
+> at register and at `/resolve`, and what an attacker who holds only the
+> DB (or only the host, or only the infra container) can recover.
+
+Constraints the design has to satisfy, for reference while drafting:
+
+- The gateway's `PolicyResolver` needs the cleartext at request time, on
+  the data-plane path, so unwrap has to be cheap enough to sit in a
+  per-flow `/resolve` (or be cached in memory after first unwrap).
+- The infra container is recreated routinely and unattended. Anything
+  requiring an interactive unlock on every recreation defeats the goal.
+- The DB lives on a container-only volume that the host does not mount, so
+  host-side and guest-side components see different filesystems — that
+  asymmetry is available as a place to split custody.
+- The agent must never be able to reach the key material. It is a separate
+  container with no control-plane token, which is the existing boundary.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- Where does the unwrap key live, and what recreates/re-derives it when the
+  infra container is rebuilt?
+- Is the cleartext cached in memory after first unwrap, or unwrapped per
+  request? (Latency vs. exposure window.)
+- What is the rotation story — re-wrap in place, or force re-registration?
+- Does this land behind a flag, or replace `_tokens` outright?
