Add dlp.outbound_on_match policy (block | redact | supervise)
Give each egress route a policy for what the proxy does when an outbound
DLP detector matches a token, defaulting to the supervise flow added in
the previous commit. The goal is cutting false-positive friction without
weakening default-deny.

- redact: scrub the matched value(s) from the body, non-host headers, and
  path/query via redact_tokens, then re-scan. Forward if clean; fail
  closed with a 403 if a match remains on a surface redaction can't
  rewrite (the hostname, or a unicode-evasion token). For routes where a
  token-shaped value is noise the upstream doesn't need.
- block: the original hard 403, never overridable.
- supervise (default, unset): hold the request for operator approval.

Structural blocks (CRLF, no safelist-able value) stay hard 403s under
every policy.

Threads outbound_on_match from the bottle manifest (manifest_egress)
through the resolved EgressRoute and rendered routes.yaml (egress.py) to
the addon's Route (egress_addon_core), and round-trips it via the
list-egress-routes introspection endpoint. The allow/egress-block tool
descriptions document the new key.

Tests: manifest parse/validation, core parse/validation, full
manifest->render->addon round-trip for redact. README + PRD 0062 updated.

**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.
- **Per-route token-match policy** — each egress route picks what happens when the outbound DLP catches a token via `dlp.outbound_on_match`: `supervise` (default) holds the request and surfaces it in `./cli.py supervise` for approval (an approved value is remembered for the life of the proxy); `redact` scrubs the value and forwards; `block` is a hard `403`. Cuts false-positive friction without weakening default-deny.
- **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

│ │ 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`). |
| `dlp.outbound_on_match` | no | What to do when an outbound token is detected: `supervise` (default — hold for operator approval), `redact` (scrub the value and forward), or `block` (hard 403). |
| `git.fetch` | no | `true` permits smart HTTP clone/fetch (`git-upload-pack`) for this host. Push (`git-receive-pack`) remains blocked. |
When an outbound DLP detector matches a token, the route's `dlp.outbound_on_match` policy decides what happens. Under the default `supervise`, 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. Under `redact`, the matched value is scrubbed from the body, headers, and path and the request is forwarded (failing closed if a match lands somewhere unredactable, like the hostname). Under `block` it stays a hard `403`. Structural blocks (CRLF injection) and not-in-allowlist host blocks are always hard `403`s regardless of policy.
More examples in `examples/`. Full design lives under `docs/prds/`; the trust-boundary rationale is in `docs/prds/0011-per-file-md-manifest.md`.
