feat: portable derivation on the container driver (#252) - #280
Conversation
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.

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.

… 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>

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 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 ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 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.

failed creation or derivation attempts cleanup, while failed destruction leaves
the host unchanged and still known to the driver.

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>

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.
