PRD 0062: supervisor override for egress token blocks
When the outbound DLP catches a token, route the block through the
existing supervisor approval queue instead of returning 403 outright.
The egress proxy holds the request open until the operator answers, then
remembers an approved value for the life of the proxy so the request --
and later ones carrying it -- flow through. Fails closed on rejection,
timeout, malformed response, or when supervise is disabled.

- ScanResult.matched carries the raw matched substring (sidecar-only;
  never logged or written to the proposal). scan_outbound and the token
  detectors take a safe_tokens set and skip approved values, continuing
  past a safelisted match so a second secret in the same request is
  still caught.
- New egress-token-allow proposal tool, written directly to the queue by
  the addon (the gitleaks-allow pattern from PRD 0061). build_token_allow
  _payload renders host/method/path/detector reason + redacted context.
- Async request hook polls the queue without stalling the proxy event
  loop; EGRESS_TOKEN_ALLOW_TIMEOUT_SECONDS (default 300) bounds the wait.
- Supervisor TUI renders egress-token-allow like gitleaks-allow: report
  only, modify unavailable, approval requires a recorded reason.
- Unit tests for the matched/safe-tokens plumbing, payload builder, tool
  constant round-trip, and TUI paths; README + PRD 0062.

Closes #261.

**Problem:** Developer wants to run a coding agent without supervision, but they don't want a prompt injected or misbehaving agent wrecking their environment or exfiltrating sensitive data.
**Solution:** Ephemeral, per agent "bottles" the agent cannot modify that scan all traffic for data exfiltration and limit capabilities and egress to only what the agent needs.
## Features
- **Per-bottle egress allowlist** — TLS-bumped HTTP/HTTPS chokepoint with a per-manifest host allowlist; per-route path/method/header `matches` filtering; outbound DLP scanning for known tokens and secrets, inbound DLP scanning for prompt-injection attempts; DoH and arbitrary hosts blocked by default.
- **Supervisor override for token blocks** — when the outbound DLP catches a token, the request is held and surfaced in `./cli.py supervise` instead of failing outright. The operator approves or rejects; an approved value is remembered for the life of the egress proxy so the request — and later ones carrying it — flow through. Fails closed on rejection or timeout.
- **Tokens the agent never sees** — host secrets live in a sidecar; the agent dials `http://sidecar:9099/<path>` and the proxy strips inbound `Authorization` and injects the real token before forwarding. `printenv` in the agent shows proxy URLs only.
- **Gitleaks-scanned push (git-gate)** — `bottle.git` remotes route through a per-bottle `git daemon` that gitleaks-scans incoming refs pre-receive and forwards clean refs upstream over SSH. The agent never holds the upstream credential.
- **Manifest-scoped skills + secrets** — each bottle declares its skills, env, git identity, remotes, and egress routes; unknown keys die at load.
- **Trust boundary at `$HOME`** — bottles (credentials, egress, remotes) live only under `~/.bot-bottle/bottles/`. Repos may ship agents but not bottles, so a cloned repo can't redirect an env var to an attacker host.
- **Composable bottles (`extends:`)** — keep provider/runtime policy in one base bottle (e.g. `claude.md`) and overlay task bottles on top.
- **Parallel, isolated bottles** — each bottle runs in its own backend-owned isolation boundary; bottles don't share state or talk to each other.
- **Provider templates (Claude, Codex)** — `Dockerfile.claude` / `Dockerfile.codex`, or a bottle-supplied Dockerfile. Claude auth via long-lived OAuth token; Codex via opt-in host device-auth forwarding.
- **gVisor auto-detect** — on Linux hosts where `runsc` is registered with Docker, every bottle launches under it for a userspace syscall barrier; no manifest config required.
- **Apple Container backend (macOS default when available)** — runs the agent and sidecar bundle with Apple's `container` CLI, using a host-only agent network plus a separate sidecar egress network.
- **Smolmachines backend** — runs the agent in a libkrun micro-VM while the sidecar bundle stays in Docker. TSI and smolmachines DNS filtering close the raw DNS exfiltration gap that exists in the legacy Docker backend.
- **Legacy Docker backend** — still available for examples, CI, and hosts without Apple Container via `BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND=docker` or `--backend=docker`.
## 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 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.
The Docker topology looks like this:
```
host ( ./cli.py )
starts │ stops
┌─────────────────────────── bottle ──────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ ┌──────────────────┐ ┌──────────────────────┐ │
│ │ agent image │ HTTP(S) proxy │ egress image │ │
│ │ (claude-code, │ ─────────────────►│ (mitmproxy; TLS bump │ │ HTTPS to

│ │ │ │ matching, auth │ │ hosts
│ │ environ: proxy │ │ injection) │ │
│ │ URLs only, no │ └──────────────────────┘ │
│ │ real tokens │ │
│ │ │ git proxy ┌────────────────┐ │ SSH push/fetch
│ │ │ ────────────────►│ git-gate image │──────────┼──► to bottle.git
│ │ │ │ (gitleaks + │ │ upstreams
│ └──────────────────┘ │ git daemon) │ │ (direct — not
│ └────────────────┘ │ via egress)
│ │
│ agent on internal network (no default route); egress and │
│ git-gate straddle internal + egress networks. │
│ egress is the single HTTP/HTTPS chokepoint — all agent HTTP/HTTPS │
│ traffic flows through it. git-gate's SSH egress is direct │
│ because egress is HTTP-only. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
When the agent exits, `cli.py` tears down every sidecar and both networks; nothing about a bottle persists between runs.
## Quickstart
On compatible macOS hosts, the default backend requires Apple's `container` CLI and does not require Docker. The smolmachines backend requires Docker on the host for the sidecar bundle plus smolvm. 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 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
```
## Manifest
Bottles and agents are Markdown files with YAML frontmatter under `~/.bot-bottle/`. The Markdown body is the system prompt. Bottles live in `~/.bot-bottle/bottles/`; agents may also be shipped by a repo at `<repo>/.bot-bottle/agents/<name>.md`.

**Egress route fields:**
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `host` | yes | Hostname to allowlist. One entry per host. |
| `role` | no | Reserved for future use. The key is recognised but any value is currently rejected at load. Provider auth routes (e.g. Claude's `api.anthropic.com`) are injected automatically from `agent_provider.auth_token`, not via `role`. |
| `auth.scheme` | when `auth` present | `Bearer` or `token`. Injected by the proxy; the agent never sees the value. |
| `auth.token_ref` | when `auth` present | Env-var name holding the secret on the host. |
| `matches` | no | Array of `{paths, methods, headers}` filters. A request must match at least one entry (if any are given) to be forwarded. |
| `matches[].paths` | no | Array of `{type, value}`. `type` is `prefix` (default), `exact`, or `regex`. |
| `matches[].methods` | no | Array of HTTP method strings, e.g. `[GET, POST]`. |
| `matches[].headers` | no | Array of `{name, value, type}`. `type` is `exact` (default) or `regex`. |
| `dlp` | no | Per-route DLP overrides. Omit to use defaults (all detectors on). |
| `dlp.outbound_detectors` | no | `false` disables outbound scanning; list restricts to named detectors (`token_patterns`, `known_secrets`). |
| `dlp.inbound_detectors` | no | `false` disables inbound scanning; list restricts to named detectors (`naive_injection_detection`). |
| `git.fetch` | no | `true` permits smart HTTP clone/fetch (`git-upload-pack`) for this host. Push (`git-receive-pack`) remains blocked. |
When an outbound request is blocked because a DLP detector matched a token, the proxy queues an `egress-token-allow` proposal for the operator's `./cli.py supervise` TUI and holds the request open until it is answered (or `EGRESS_TOKEN_ALLOW_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, default 300s, elapses — after which it fails closed). The operator never sees the raw token, only the host, method, path, and a redacted snippet. Approving adds the value to an in-memory safelist for the life of the egress proxy. Structural blocks (CRLF injection) and not-in-allowlist host blocks stay hard `403`s.
More examples in `examples/`. Full design lives under `docs/prds/`; the trust-boundary rationale is in `docs/prds/0011-per-file-md-manifest.md`.
