When starting a smolmachines agent from the dashboard the docker-build output rendered on top of the curses preflight modal — the build was kicked off before the operator had confirmed launch. The docker backend's `prepare` is pure resolution (no docker calls); smolmachines was inconsistent because `prepare` called `_ensure_smolmachine` which ran `docker build` → `docker save` → `crane push` → `smolvm pack create`, several seconds of stderr noise rendered before the y/N prompt. Move the pipeline: - `_ensure_smolmachine` (+ `_SMOLMACHINE_CACHE_DIR` + `_REPO_DIR` + the local-registry / smolvm imports) moves from `backend/smolmachines/prepare.py` to `backend/smolmachines/launch.py`. Called right before `_smolvm.machine_create` so the resulting `.smolmachine` sidecar path lands as a local in `launch`, not on the plan. - `SmolmachinesBottlePlan.agent_from_path: Path` becomes `agent_image_ref: str`. `prepare` stashes only the docker tag (`$CLAUDE_BOTTLE_IMAGE` || `claude-bottle:latest`); `launch` resolves it into the artifact at bringup. This puts smolmachines on the same prepare-vs-launch boundary the docker backend uses: the preflight summary in the dashboard prints, the operator confirms, then `launch` runs — and its stderr is routed via `_route_op_to_right_pane` (in tmux) or via `curses.endwin` (foreground handoff) so the build output lands cleanly. Tests: - `tests/unit/test_smolmachines_prepare_image.py` → `tests/unit/test_smolmachines_launch_image.py`, updated to import `_ensure_smolmachine` from `launch` rather than `prepare`. - `test_smolmachines_provision.py`: plan fixture switches `agent_from_path` → `agent_image_ref`. 593 unit tests pass.

Tests
Plain-Python test suite using stdlib unittest. No external
dependencies. Unit tests run anywhere Python 3 is present; integration
tests need Docker and skip cleanly otherwise.
Layout

Classification falls out of the directory — no hand-maintained list to keep in sync.
Running
python -m unittest discover -t . -s tests/unit -v # unit only
python -m unittest discover -t . -s tests/integration -v # integration only
python -m unittest discover -t . -s tests -v # both (recursive)
python -m unittest tests.unit.test_pipelock_yaml # one file
Discovery is invoked with -t . (top-level dir = repo root) so the
claude_bottle package on sys.path resolves correctly.
What the integration tests cover
test_dry_run_plan.py—cli.py start --dry-run --format=jsonemits a structured plan that contains the resolved egress allowlist and the bottle's runtime, and creates zero Docker resources.test_orphan_cleanup.py—network_removeis idempotent against missing resources, so the EXIT trap can call it unconditionally.test_sidecar_bundle_image.py— builds Dockerfile.sidecars and probes that pipelock / gitleaks / mitmdump / supervise are all reachable inside the bundle.test_sidecar_bundle_compose.py— end-to-end compose-up of an agent + bundle pair; verifies the agent reaches the bundle via the legacy network aliases.
Canaries
tests/canaries/ holds upstream-regression checks (e.g. the pinned
pipelock digest's binary still runs). These are gated on
CLAUDE_BOTTLE_RUN_CANARIES=1 and not part of the per-push suite.
They're invoked by the scheduled canaries workflow.
CLAUDE_BOTTLE_RUN_CANARIES=1 python -m unittest discover -t . -s tests/canaries -v
What's NOT covered
claude_bottle/ssh.pyend-to-end (would need a fake SSH host inside the container).- A live SSH-through-pipelock tunnel against a real Tailscale-style IP.
- DLP false-positive measurements.
- TLS handling / cert pinning behavior.
Adding a test
- Pick the directory:
tests/unit/for a pure unit test,tests/integration/for one that needs Docker. - Filename:
test_<topic>.py. - Boilerplate:
import unittest from claude_bottle.<module> import <symbol> class TestThing(unittest.TestCase): def test_x(self): ... if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() - For Docker-dependent tests, decorate the class with
@skip_unless_docker()fromtests._docker.
