Chunk 1 of the host-control-server stack: close the PRD's **transport** gap. Today LaunchBroker.submit(token) is an in-process method call from OrchestratorCore; this makes it a real out-of-process service reached over HTTP. - host_server.py: the host control server. A pure dispatch() (POST /broker verifies a signed token via the existing verify_request + _launch/_teardown path, GET /health) wrapped by a thin http.server adapter, mirroring orchestrator/server.py. Only the signed token crosses the wire; provenance/schema failures are fail-closed 401s that never touch the backend, a backend launch failure is a 502. - broker_client.py: BrokerClient — a drop-in submit(token) that POSTs the signed token to the host controller. A 401 re-raises as BrokerAuthError so the launch path's rollback is identical local or remote. - broker.py: SubmitBroker Protocol — the one method OrchestratorCore depends on, satisfied by both LaunchBroker and BrokerClient, so the core is unchanged (service.py annotation only). - __main__.py: wire `--broker http` behind the shared-secret env var (BOT_BOTTLE_BROKER_SECRET, hex) — a chunk-1 stopgap the durable TrustDomain key (chunk 2, #476) replaces. Tested: pure-dispatch cases, BrokerClient with HTTP mocked, and a real-socket sign -> POST -> verify -> act round-trip (incl. fail-closed forged token). pyright clean; pylint 9.86.

Tests
Plain-Python test suite using stdlib unittest. No external
dependencies. Unit tests run anywhere Python 3 is present; integration
tests run through the backend named by BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND (default
docker) and skip cleanly when that backend isn't available on the host.

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_manifest_egress # one file
Discovery is invoked with -t . (top-level dir = repo root) so the
bot_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_gateway_image.py— builds Dockerfile.gateway and probes that gitleaks / mitmdump / supervise are all reachable inside the gateway image.
Canaries
tests/canaries/ holds upstream-regression checks gated on
BOT_BOTTLE_RUN_CANARIES=1 and not part of the per-push suite.
They're invoked by the scheduled canaries workflow. Currently
no canaries are defined.

What's NOT covered
bot_bottle/ssh.pyend-to-end (would need a fake SSH host inside the container).- A live SSH-through-git-gate 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 a backend. -
Filename:
test_<topic>.py. -
Boilerplate:
import unittest from bot_bottle.<module> import <symbol> class TestThing(unittest.TestCase): def test_x(self): ... if __name__ == "__main__": unittest.main() -
Skip guards live in
tests._backendand gate on the backend's own readiness check,bot_bottle.backend.has_backend— the same probe behind./cli.py backend status:- Backend-agnostic tests (go through
get_bottle_backend()) decorate the class with@skip_unless_selected_backend_available()— the test runs against whichever backendBOT_BOTTLE_BACKENDselects and skips unless that backend is available (checking, e.g., Linux +/dev/kvmfor Firecracker rather than unrelated Docker availability). - Backend-specific tests (exercise
DockerBroker,DockerGateway,backend.docker.*, …) decorate with@skip_unless_backend("docker")so they no-op under a run targeting a different backend.
Each CI integration job runs
./cli.py backend status --backend=<name>as a preflight, which prints a clear per-check summary and exits non-zero when the backend is missing — so absent infrastructure fails the job instead of hiding among per-testunittest.skiplines. - Backend-agnostic tests (go through
