The profile rework left references to the old entry modes behind. Renames
the user patch-layer API and its spec file (watchPersonalPatches ->
watchUserPatches, personal-config.spec.ts -> user-patches.spec.ts) and
retargets the prose that still named `config.yaml`, `--config`, raw-config
mode, and surface overlays: repository-plugin and mcp-memory READMEs, the
credentials-local anchor into app-boot, vendor manifest items 12-13, the
vendored include/hmr comments, and install.sh.
Restores the boot-failure guard the rework dropped with raw mode: the
built-bin case now boots `--profile web --patch <invalid>` and asserts the
settled diagnostic and exit 1, so the HMR initial-scan deadlock stays
covered; its orphaned raw fixture is renamed and the unused one deleted.
The superseded personal-config Agent Note and its superseding profile note
are now cross-linked.
The `readDenyPaths` policy field shipped in the previous commit broke Linux
confinement outright. bwrap has to create the `/dev/null` bind's mount point
inside a tree its own profile has already made read-only, so it refused the
entire confinement whenever the parent directory was absent — every host that
has not stored a credential yet, including a fresh install:
bwrap: Can't mkdir parents for /home/runner/.dsh/.env: Read-only file system
which the executor correctly classifies as SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE, so every
confined bash call failed closed. Landlock cannot subtract from its own `/`
read grant, so it reported `partial` enforcement on every confined call for a
file it never hid, with no way to switch the denial off (schemastery fills an
omitted array with `[]`, so empty and omitted were indistinguishable).
A protection that breaks confinement where it works and misreports it where it
does not is worse than a documented absence. Revert the field, both expressible
backends, the enforcement downgrade, and the policy default; state the residue
plainly in the credentials-local READMEs — file mode stops other OS users, not
the model — and keep the OS-keychain provider recorded as the real answer.
The narrower discipline stands: no surface hoists the credential document into
`process.env`, and the model is never handed a resolved path to it.
Both provider READMEs state what actually holds: credentials-local now
documents the physical-line editor, the read-modify-write under the
writer lock, and a Security boundary section saying plainly that the file
mode stops other OS users and not the model. sandbox-policy documents
readDenyPaths and its per-backend enforcement. The llm READMEs carry the
registration handle, pi-ai's credential-miss semantics, and DeepSeek's
same-generation snapshot; app-boot and the CLI README stop describing
$DSH_HOME/.env as an environment layer.
A new Agent Note records the round (and the prior seam note cross-links
it); the sandbox and core catalog pages gain readDenyPaths and
AdapterRegistrationHandle with their manifest entries. The headless
missing-credential snapshot re-records for the reworded guidance, pi-ai
gains the Loader-composition guard its twin already had, and the
deliberate provider symmetry is marked for the clone detector.
The policy home's resolve() now stamps readDenyPaths, so every consumer
that pins the resolved shape (bash-sandbox hand-off, tool-fs stamps)
carries it, and three uncovered branches gained real tests: landlock
reporting partial enforcement for a denial it cannot express, the
policy's default under programmatic construction, and both ambient
credential paths in llm-deepseek without a mounted seam.
The credential store is 0600 under a 0700 directory, which stops other OS
users but not the model: tool processes run as the same user, so under
the shipped danger-full-access default they read it like any other file.
SandboxExecutionPolicy grows readDenyPaths, and sandbox-policy defaults
it to $DSH_HOME/.env — the exact file rather than the harness home, so
the model keeps its documented access to its own session log. Seatbelt
appends a trailing deny (last matching rule wins) and bwrap maps
/dev/null over each path after any workspace bind; Landlock grants are a
pure allow-list that cannot subtract from its own / read grant, so
confine() reports partial enforcement there instead of claiming a
boundary the process does not have.
A real-kernel Seatbelt e2e proves the shape: the same read succeeds
unconfined and fails under the denial, while a sibling file in the same
directory stays readable. Both READMEs state the residual boundary
plainly — no confining mode means no boundary — and record the OS
keychain provider as the real answer.
Review round three, credentials half. dsh-atomic-write grows the
cross-process writer-lock primitive (withFileLock: wx sentinel, bounded
backoff, stale takeover via onStaleBreak, deadline failure) plus a dirMode
option, and settings-local migrates its private copy to it; both providers
now create harness-home directories 0700.
credentials-local reuses the reviewed settings-local shape: watcher
reloads and line edits share one settled operation chain; every write
re-reads the document under the lock and publishes unobserved external
entries before editing, so an edit inside the debounce window (or another
process's write) can never be overwritten; the watcher's ready signal
queues one reconcile closing the startup gap.
The line editor is now physical-line aware: continuation lines of a
quoted multi-line value are never mistaken for assignments, untouched
lines keep their exact bytes (CRLF included), an edited line keeps its
own terminator, and appends use the document's dominant ending. A
multi-line entry reports writable: false, matching what set() would do.
The Credentials base class owns a contained notifyUpdated fan-out:
providers publish only after the commit, every listener runs, sync throws
and async rejections are logged without failing the committed write, and
INVARIANT-coded failures rethrow after the fan-out.
New credentials data-structure page (type-equiv manifested), group README,
rewritten llm-deepseek/llm-pi-ai READMEs (dynamic configuration, dict
profiles, credential chain), capability-seams/service-role registration,
Agent Note (bilingual), demo compositions mounting settings-local +
credentials-local with no inline key plumbing, installSettingsSection
consumer helper on the settings seam (deduplicating both adapters' wiring),
jscpd symmetry markers for the provider twins, runtime-closure additions for
python/sdk-runtime, and doc-budget ceilings AGENTS.md 1750→1755 /
packages/README.md 850→865 for the structural one-line group rows.
Live environment wins read-only (shadowed writes reject instead of
appearing to succeed); the file is the writable source with byte-preserving
line edits, a quoting ladder dotenv reads back verbatim, atomic 0600
writes, wholesale snapshot replacement on reload, and write-drain
teardown.
