feat: portable derivation on the container driver (#252) by joelmoss · Pull Request #280 · joelmoss/workroom

joelmoss · 2026-10-01T20:24:44Z

Implements #252 (part of #154, Phase 4): the portable way to create a remote workroom. A per-project base machine is provisioned and cloned, and each workroom is derived from it on the ssh container fixture: derive → re-init machine identity → enrol → fetch and check out → serve. Each step undoes what the sequence made when a later one fails.

Nothing in the shipped app calls this yet; #253 wires it into the UI.

What changed

ContainerHostDriver provisions. Given a container runtime and the fixture's image:
- create runs a base;
- deriveFromBase commits the base's disk and runs a container from that image;
- destroy removes a container and the image it alone was run from.
  The driver names its containers (workroom-<host id>) and labels its commits itself, so a resource made by a CLI that was then killed can still be found and removed. Each container publishes ssh on a loopback port chosen for it, so a restart keeps the host's address. An instance can't be derived from.
Identity (OQ9) is minted at first boot, before sshd or the agent starts:
- fresh ssh host keys and /etc/machine-id;
- the base's broker files and screens are dropped.
  A marker keyed on the hostname makes this run once, so a reboot keeps the pinned key. The driver reads the new key out of band through identity.sh. boot_id belongs to the kernel and can't be re-minted in a container.
RemoteProvisioning, the sequence:
- The base clones with a one-shot read-only token from POST /broker/base-clone-tokens. The token reaches git only as a github.com Authorization header in the exec request's environment (GIT_CONFIG_COUNT), so it is never in an argument, the remote URL or a file. The Mac revokes it at GitHub afterwards. The base never enrols.
- A workroom enrols with AgentEnrolment (OQ10, a key of its own), runs fetch and git remote set-head origin --auto, then git switch --create <branch> refs/remotes/origin/HEAD.
- When undoing a step fails too, Failure.rollbackIncomplete names the host and grant still live.
- BaseLocks lets only one operation run on a base at a time: a derive's snapshot, a refresh or a destroy.
workroom host set|clear is a new hidden CLI command. It stores a host descriptor verbatim on an existing project or workroom.
- It decodes with UseNumber and refuses JSON null and trailing data.
- It honours --pretend.
- Its error kinds are new and additive: ProjectNotFound, WorkroomNotFound, InvalidHostDescriptor. schema_version stays 1.
- The app calls it through WorkroomCLI.setHost.
delete-project refuses a project with its own descriptor (a base), as it already refuses one with remote workrooms.
Fixture (vcs/scripts/ssh-fixture):
- a seeded /srv/origin.git;
- fake-github.py, a GitHub and a broker on the container's loopback, trusted for github.com only and behind a token check;
- run.sh exports what the provisioning tests need and sweeps everything they label.

Acceptance criteria

Criterion	Test
A base is built, refreshed and destroyed, and holds no enrolment or token	`testABaseIsClonedAndRecordedAndHoldsNoEnrolmentAndNoToken` (https clone; disk search with a positive control), `testDestroyingABaseRemovesItAndForgetsItsRecordOnlyOnceItIsGone`. `refreshBase` has no test.
A derived workroom is on its own branch and serves	`testWorkroomsDerivedFromABaseServeOnTheirOwnBranchWithTheirOwnEnrolment`
Two instances share no enrolment key, ssh host key or machine-id	that test, and `testInstancesDerivedFromOneBaseCarryItsDiskButMintTheirOwnIdentity`
A failure at each step leaves no instance, grant or token	`testADeriveThatFailsAtEachStepLeavesNoContainerOrImageBehind` (each step fails before and after the daemon acts), `testAWorkroomThatFailsAtEachStepLeavesNoInstanceAndNoGrant`, `testABaseWhoseCloneFailsIsRemovedAndItsTokenRevoked`, `testABaseWhoseCloneTokenIsRefusedIsRemovedWithNothingToRevoke`, `testAWorkroomWhoseRollbackFailsSaysWhatIsStillLive`
Panes show their last screen after a reboot	`testAPaneOnADerivedWorkroomIsShownItsLastScreenAfterAReboot`
`git fetch` and `git push` complete with the Mac disconnected	`testADerivedWorkroomFetchesAndPushesWithTheMacDisconnected` (run through the runtime's exec; a push with the helper switched off is refused)

Every test above was shown to go red with its fix or guard removed.

Decisions (owner, 2026-10-01)

The base is recorded through a new CLI command, not by the app writing config.json.
The base holds the repository and the agent only. No dependencies are installed.
Clone tests clone a bare repository inside the fixture. The token's handling is pinned by a unit test and by the https clone against the fixture's GitHub.
From the review: delete-project refuses a base; a failed rollback names what is still live; operations on one base are serialised. The simplification advisories were skipped.

Validation

Swift: the full make app-test through vcs/scripts/ssh-fixture/run.sh, 3119 passed and 0 failed, on the tree before the rebase. After rebasing onto master's wr-agent changes, the provisioning and remote-host suites were re-run with a rebuilt Linux agent: 33 of 33 pass.
Rust: the over_ssh tests (5) pass, before and after the rebase.
Go and lint: go test ./..., make cli-lint, make app-lint, make app-test-scripts (17) and shellcheck all pass.
Reviews:
- An independent adversarial review, plus /review: testing, maintainability, security, performance and simplification specialists, Red Team, a Claude adversarial pass, and a Codex adversarial pass and structured review.
- Every finding was fixed, decided by the owner, or recorded below.
- One Codex claim was disproved by a probe: docker rm -f and rmi -f exit 0 on a missing resource.
Not run in CI: the Swift fixture suites skip there, because the macOS runner has no Docker. They were run locally. Only the Rust over_ssh set runs against the fixture in CI.
SessionSaveTests.testUnchangedSessionIsNotRewritten failed once in one full run. That code is outside this branch's changes, and the test passed 3 of 3 on its own and again in the next full run.

Known gaps

These are recorded in docs/designs/remote-workrooms.md under "As built (#252)".

Provisioned hosts live only in the driver's memory, so nothing re-adopts a recorded base after a relaunch (Remote workrooms in the app: create, open and delete (Nightly only) #253). destroyBase keeps the record of a host the driver no longer knows.
broker.json sits under /run/workroom. A real host's tmpfs /run loses it on reboot (boxd driver with portable derivation #256, Far-side lifecycle shim: keep a busy box awake through the provider (boxd first) #257).
A clone must finish within 10 minutes, because the agent's exec deadline is a wall clock.
BaseLocks holds only in this process. A waiter cancelled while it waits still waits its turn.
A runtime CLI killed mid-operation can leave a resource that appears after the one cleanup sweep.
A workroom always branches from the default branch, even when its branch already exists on origin. Remote workrooms in the app: create, open and delete (Nightly only) #253 decides naming.
deriveSpeed is declared as 5 s; derives on the fixture measure 2–3 s.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added commands to set or clear host details for an existing project or workroom.
- Added support for creating base machines and deriving remote workrooms from them, including repository cloning and branch checkout.
Bug Fixes
- Project deletion now refuses projects that have a base machine, preventing deletion from proceeding in supported deletion modes.
- Provisioning failures now report when cleanup is incomplete and identify the affected grant.

Slice A of #252. Given a container runtime and the ssh fixture's image, `ContainerHostDriver` now provisions its own hosts. `create` runs a base, `deriveFromBase` commits a base's disk and runs a container from it, and `destroy` removes the container along with the image it alone was run from. Each step undoes whatever it had made when a later one fails. A derived container mints its own identity at first boot, before sshd or the agent starts (open question 9): fresh ssh host keys and /etc/machine-id, with the base's broker files and screens dropped. A marker keyed on the container's hostname makes the mint run once, so a restart keeps its pinned host key. boot_id belongs to the kernel and can't be re-minted in a container. The new host key is read out of band through the image's identity.sh, which run.sh now reads it through too. run.sh exports what provisioning needs, and on exit sweeps every container and image carrying its run's label. Tests: ContainerProvisioningIntegrationTests (3) and RemoteHostIntegrationTests (14) pass through run.sh, and so do the 5 over_ssh Rust tests. Two negative controls go red: skipping the re-mint fails the identity assertions, and dropping the image rollback fails the failure-injection test at run, port and exec. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The app owns the host descriptor's schema (#249), but nothing could write one. `workroom host set --project P [--workroom W] DESCRIPTOR` stores a JSON object verbatim as the project's or workroom's "host", and `host clear` removes it. #252 records a project's base machine this way. It never creates an entry: an unknown project or workroom is refused (ProjectNotFound, WorkroomNotFound), and so is a descriptor that isn't an object (InvalidHostDescriptor), JSON null included, which would otherwise turn a remote workroom local. The command is hidden; it is plumbing for the app. The new error kinds are additive, so schema_version stays 1. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Slice B of #252: the portable creation sequence, in RemoteProvisioning. A base is provisioned, its repository cloned through the agent's exec service, and recorded through a caller's closure (`workroom host set`, via the new WorkroomCLI.setHost). The clone uses a one-shot read-only token from the broker (BrokerClient.baseCloneToken). It reaches git only as an Authorization header for github.com in the exec request's environment (GIT_CONFIG_COUNT), never in an argument, the remote URL or a file, and it is revoked at GitHub once the clone is over. The base never enrols. refreshBase fetches with a fresh token. A workroom runs derive, then enrol (AgentEnrolment, so each key is its own), then fetch and check out its own branch from origin/HEAD, and is returned serving. A failure at any step cancels the grant and destroys the instance; a failed base build destroys the base and revokes its token. The fixture image now carries a seeded /srv/origin.git for the base to clone by path, since the fixture has no GitHub. Tests: 5 RemoteProvisioningIntegrationTests through run.sh, plus unit tests for the clone environment and the token request. The full app suite passes through the fixture (3108 passed, one pre-existing eval skip), and so do the 5 over_ssh Rust tests. Three negative controls go red: dropping the grant cancel, dropping the instance destroy, and passing the token as `clone -c`, which the disk search finds in .git/config. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

… reboot Part of Slice C of #252. The container driver now publishes each container's ssh on a loopback port chosen for it, rather than an ephemeral one, so a restart keeps the host's address the way a provider's box keeps its own. With its identity kept too, a pane's ssh gets back in with the host key pinned at the derive. The new test writes a screen on a derived workroom, stops and starts its container, and reattaches. The pane shows the last screen with the "ended when its host restarted" notice: the derived image keeps the fixture's supervisor, which passes --screens on a directory in the home directory, not on tmpfs /run. Removing --screens turns the test red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…onnected The rest of Slice C of #252. The fixture gains a GitHub and a broker of its own (fake-github.py, started by the entrypoint as the ssh user with only CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE): - The broker, on http://127.0.0.1:8081, accepts an enrolment and mints a token per request. - GitHub, on https://github.com, mapped to the container's loopback, with a certificate git trusts for that host only. It serves git's smart HTTP through git-http-backend over /srv. Without a token it minted, or the base clone token baked into the image, it answers 401 with a Basic challenge. The test clones the base over https with the broker's clone token as git's header, derives and enrols a workroom against the box's own broker, and closes the Mac's connection. Then, through the runtime's exec rather than the Mac's link, it shows the workroom fetching and pushing on its own, its credential helper minting from the box's broker. A push with the helper switched off is refused, inside the test. Deleting the workroom's enrolment makes the fetch and push fail. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

From an independent review of this branch (macapp/AGENTS.md rule 3): - The container driver names what it makes. A run is named workroom-<host id>, and a commit carries a workroom.commit label chosen first. A run or commit that outlives its CLI (killed by the silence bound, or a cancelled derive) is then still found and removed; before, its ID was known only from output nobody read. Commits get a 900 s silence bound, since commit prints nothing until it is done. The failure tests now also fail each step after the daemon has done it. - An instance can't be derived from: its disk holds its key and credential helper. The entrypoint's re-mint also deletes the agent's interrupted saves (.broker.json.<pid>), which can hold a key. - Destroying a workroom destroys its box even when the broker can't cancel the grant. The key that would mint against the grant goes with the box. The first error is still thrown. - `host set` decodes with UseNumber, as Config.Read does, so an integer above 2^53 is stored as written. It also refuses trailing data. - The base test clones over https, so the token-on-disk and remote-URL checks run where git really sends the token. - gitTimeout's comment called it a silence bound; the agent's exec deadline is a wall clock capped at 610 s. Recorded as a ceiling: a clone over 10 minutes fails. The design doc gains an "As built (#252)" section with the gaps left for #253, #256 and #257. macapp/AGENTS.md now says what writes a host descriptor. Negative controls went red for each fix. Full app suite through the fixture: 3111 passed, 0 failed. Also passing: Rust over_ssh (5), go test, cli-lint, app-lint, app-test-scripts, shellcheck. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

From /review (specialists, Red Team, Claude and Codex adversarial passes): - delete-project refuses a project whose own host descriptor is set, in every mode. That descriptor is a base machine's only record; the old guard checked only workroom descriptors, so it orphaned the box. - derive and buildBase throw Failure.rollbackIncomplete, naming the host and grant still live, when undoing a failed step fails too. Before, the cleanup errors were swallowed and nothing recorded what was left running. - BaseLocks serialises a derive's snapshot, a refresh and a destroy per base. docker commit freezes git mid-fetch, so a snapshot taken during a refresh would hand its .lock files to every workroom derived from it. A caller cancelled while it waits gives the base up. - Fetching runs `git remote set-head origin --auto`, and checkout uses refs/remotes/origin/HEAD. fetch never moves origin/HEAD, so after the remote renamed its default branch every derive failed. - `host set|clear` honours --pretend, still checking that the entry exists. The commit sweep reads every line of output, and a failed run removes the host's ssh directory. - New tests: delete-project with a base, the host CLI's JSON envelope and --pretend, destroy with a failed grant cancel, destroyBase, a refused clone token, a rollback that fails, concurrent derives, a renamed default branch, and the per-base lock. Each was shown red without its fix. run.sh exports the fixture's clone token and broker URL. Full app suite through the fixture: 3119 passed, 0 failed. Also passing: Rust over_ssh (5), go test, cli-lint, app-lint, app-test-scripts (17) and shellcheck. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds host descriptor commands and configuration updates, container-backed host creation and derivation, and base and workroom provisioning operations. It also adds broker token handling, fixture services, and tests for provisioning, cleanup, and failure paths.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d1f7

Project deletion checks for a base host in one step and removes the project in a later step. If a host is registered between those steps, its base record can be lost. Fix this before merging unless the risk is accepted. The new provisioning flow is not yet used by the app, and its remaining documentation issue is minor.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7d1f7

Automatic provisioning now manages machines and credentials together. Failed or interrupted setup can leave authorization without a recoverable owner. Current exposure is limited because this flow is not yet connected to the shipped interface, but cleanup ownership and the live service’s permission limits need resolution before activation.

Retained concerns

Medium · security · inferred: The new provisioning rollback cannot preserve every grant it creates. If remote enrolment fails after grant issuance, the existing enrolment helper suppresses a cancellation failure and discards the grant ID before returning to provisioning. If the agent already enrolled and host destruction also fails, repository authority can survive without its grant being included in the incomplete-rollback result. The helper behavior predates this PR; the new automatic provisioning caller introduces reliance on that incomplete cleanup contract.
Medium · security · inferred: Provisioning ownership is process-local while enrolled agents can operate independently of the Mac connection. Process termination after enrolment can leave a host, key, and grant without a durable association that a restarted caller can reconcile or cancel. Resource names and labels aid container discovery but do not recover broker-grant ownership. This is an introduced lifecycle limitation, currently bounded by the fixture-oriented, not-yet-wired rollout.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

inferred — The immediate affected assets are provisioned containers, copied repository data, and each workroom’s enrolled key and grant. Exploiting stranded authorization requires access to the surviving host or key. Intended repository/workroom scoping does not establish the maximum production exposure because broker account boundaries and effective token permissions are not shown.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

inferred — The supported concern is a conditional authorization-retention path, not demonstrated unauthenticated access: enrolment may succeed remotely before execution reports failure, cancellation may fail without returning the grant ID, and failed destruction may leave the enrolled agent available. Tests cover successful cancellation during enrolment failure and failed cancellation after a grant is known, but not this combined ownership loss.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

observed — The container runtime supplies the freshly minted host key out of band before SSH login. Base and workroom credential lifecycles are separated, and integration assertions verify different enrolment keys for separate workrooms. Broker request redirects are refused.
observed — Clone authorization is scoped client-side to the GitHub HTTPS host, not a repository path, while repository and clone URL are separate inputs. Revocation is best effort and ignores both transport failures and response status. The integration revocation assertion records callback invocation; it does not verify production invalidation or read-only scope.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

observed — Cleanup tasks are separated from caller cancellation, containers receive predictable owned names, and committed images receive unique labels for discovery. These controls improve ordinary failure containment, but in-memory ownership and process-local locks do not provide crash recovery or cross-process coordination.

Hardening Proposals

proposed — Before activating automatic provisioning, preserve grant identifiers across failed enrolment and persist pending host/grant ownership early enough to reconcile interrupted operations. Recovery should distinguish resources already removed from resources whose cancellation still needs confirmation.
proposed — Validate the production issuer’s repository/account binding, read-only clone permissions, expiry, and revocation behavior. Bind clone destinations to the requested repository and distinguish attempted revocation from confirmed invalidation or expiry-bounded cleanup.

Greptile and CodeRabbit on #280: - delete-project: RemoveProject re-checks for a host descriptor (the project's or a workroom's) under its own lock, so a base recorded after delete-project's first check is no longer removed with the entry. (CodeRabbit) - AgentEnrolment.enrol throws GrantStillLive with the grant ID when its own cancel fails, and derive passes it on in rollbackIncomplete. Before, that grant was lost. (Greptile) - The container driver reports a container or image it could not remove as HostDriverError.leftBehind, instead of dropping the host with its container still running. (Greptile) - Destroying a host twice succeeds, so destroyBase can retry a failed forget. A base the driver never knew still keeps its record. (Greptile) - RemoteProvisioning.destroy reports both a failed cancel and a failed removal in rollbackIncomplete. (Greptile) - refreshBase is tested: a refresh fetches with a fresh token, revokes it, and a refused token leaves the base as it was. (Greptile) - The .provisioning doc no longer promises that cleanup always succeeded. (CodeRabbit) Each new test was shown red without its fix. Full app suite through the fixture: 3123 passed, 0 failed. Also passing: Rust over_ssh (5), go test, cli-lint, app-lint, app-test-scripts and shellcheck.

Greptile on #280: delete-project --with-workrooms re-checks before each workroom that the project has no host descriptor. A base recorded during the cascade now stops it before the next workroom. Before, it was caught only at the final RemoveProject, after every workroom had been torn down. --from-disk checks the same way before each teardown script. A descriptor written during a single workroom's teardown still gets past the checks. Closing that would mean holding the config lock across teardown scripts. TestDeleteProjectStopsWhenABaseIsRecordedMidCascade fails without the fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Greptile and CodeRabbit on #280: - delete-project: RemoveProject re-checks for a host descriptor (the project's or a workroom's) under its own lock, so a base recorded after delete-project's first check is no longer removed with the entry. (CodeRabbit) - AgentEnrolment.enrol throws GrantStillLive with the grant ID when its own cancel fails, and derive passes it on in rollbackIncomplete. Before, that grant was lost. (Greptile) - The container driver reports a container or image it could not remove as HostDriverError.leftBehind, instead of dropping the host with its container still running. (Greptile) - Destroying a host twice succeeds, so destroyBase can retry a failed forget. A base the driver never knew still keeps its record. (Greptile) - RemoteProvisioning.destroy reports both a failed cancel and a failed removal in rollbackIncomplete. (Greptile) - refreshBase is tested: a refresh fetches with a fresh token, revokes it, and a refused token leaves the base as it was.
