Vasanth T 3b43c43eca fix(sandbox): keep a derived ACL target inside the write root it came from (#1040)
* fix(sandbox): keep a derived ACL target inside the write root it came from

FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT refuses a reparse point at the final path
component and resolves every component above it, which is right for a path
the operator named and not enough for one this package derived. The
write-root carveouts are derived: <root>/.git/hooks and <root>/.git/config
are constructed from a root, and <root>/.git is a name an unprivileged
workspace writer can create before setup runs. mklink /J needs no
privilege, so a junction there had the apply open <junction-target>/hooks,
an ordinary directory with nothing wrong about its final component, and
zero sandbox setup wrote a deny ACE on it as Administrator, outside the
workspace.

A derived entry now carries the root it came from, and the apply requires
the object it finally holds to still live under it. The check is on the
handle rather than the name: GetFinalPathNameByHandle answers where the
open object actually is, and both sides go through it so the spelling
normalizes the same way. Materialization is checked before it creates,
since os.MkdirAll follows the same reparse points.

Deliberately not a refusal of every reparse point on the path. Above the
write root the path is the operator's, who may keep a workspace under a
junction or a mapped directory; only the tail the sandbox appended is held
strict.

Closes #1024

* fix(sandbox): reject the reparse ancestor itself before materializing

The pre-create check asked where the deepest existing ancestor lives, and
a junction answers with its own path: the open does not follow a
final-component reparse point, so <root>/.git came back as <root>/.git and
matched. os.MkdirAll does follow it. What disqualifies that ancestor is
that it IS a reparse point, not where it reports living.

Found by reverting the check and watching the test still pass, which said
the guard was doing nothing rather than that the test was weak. Pinned
against the function now, because through the whole apply the create is
made and then removed on the failure path, so the filesystem afterwards
looks identical either way. The plan wiring gets its own test for the same
reason: every apply-level case here hands the group an anchor directly, so
none of them would notice the builder never setting one.

* fix(sandbox): anchor only the carveouts that are under the root, and put the DACL back

Two from review, both right.

ReadOnlySubpaths is a profile field an operator can set to any path, and one
placed outside the write root is a configuration that works today; anchoring
it unconditionally turned that into a containment refusal. Only paths
lexically under the root are anchored now, which is where the derived
carveouts are anyway, and anything else keeps the final-component guard it
always had.

The successful-apply tests left their deny ACE in place, so t.TempDir could
fail to remove the tree. Restoring the snapshot exposed the sharper half:
the ACE denied the group the test runs as, which revoked its own WRITE_DAC
and left the rollback unable to reopen the target. The tests deny a group
this process is not a member of instead, which is what a capability SID is
in production, and roll back afterwards.

* test(sandbox): check the plan anchoring on every platform, out-of-root case included

The plan builder is cross-platform and its anchor tests were in a Windows-only
file, so nothing checked the wiring on Linux or macOS. Moved beside the other
BuildWindowsACLPlan tests, with the case review raised: an out-of-root
ReadOnlySubpath stays unanchored, and an in-root one is still held to its
write root.

* test(sandbox): give the cross-platform anchor tests native paths

Moving these beside the other BuildWindowsACLPlan tests made them run on
Linux and macOS, where their Windows path literals stop meaning what they
say: pathWithinRoot is filepath.Rel underneath, a backslash is an ordinary
character off Windows, and C:\workspace\.git\hooks is then one component
that is not under C:\workspace, so every anchor came back empty. The
neighbouring tests get away with such literals because they only compare
strings they built the same way and never ask whether one contains another.

Paths are built with filepath.Join from temp roots now, so the containment
question is asked in the separator the running platform actually uses.

f30f550e60 fix(sandbox): protect worktree git pointers (#805)
* fix(sandbox): resolve git metadata carveouts for worktrees

.git is a file (gitdir: ...) in worktrees/submodules, not a dir. The
hooks/config write-deny carveout assumed a directory and pointed at
<root>/.git/hooks, which has no mkdir-able parent under the .git file.
bwrap then failed 'Can't mkdir parents ... Not a directory', blocking
every sandboxed tool in worktree checkouts.

Resolve the real (common) git dir via the gitdir pointer + commondir so
worktrees deny the shared hooks/config like a plain clone. Plain
checkouts (.git dir) and .git-absent roots keep the literal paths.

* fix(sandbox): bound worktree git metadata carveouts to the write root

Refuse gitdir/commondir pointers that escape the workspace instead of
carving outside confinement. Invalid, stale, or non-directory pointers
return no carveouts so bwrap does not mkdir under a .git file.

* fix(sandbox): evaluate gitdir/commondir through symlinks

Containment must use the real path so an in-root symlink cannot punch
hooks/config carveouts outside the write root.

* fix(sandbox): fail closed on gitdir eval and protect the pointer file

Refuse carveouts when EvalSymlinks cannot produce a real in-root path,
compare evaluated roots and targets, and write-deny the .git pointer so
it cannot redirect hooks/config between commands.

* fix(sandbox): deny worktree-local gitdir metadata and parse first gitdir line

Keep hooks/config write-denied on both the common dir and the in-root
worktree gitdir, emit those paths under the lexical write root, and
accept a gitdir: pointer that has trailing comment lines.

* fix(sandbox): skip special git metadata files and re-check carveouts at apply

Read .git and commondir only when they are regular files so a FIFO cannot
block profile construction. At sandbox apply, drop ReadOnlySubpaths that
no longer sit inside the write root after a symlink swap.

* fix(sandbox): follow directory .git symlinks and unix-tag FIFO tests

A .git symlink to a directory is a normal checkout, so keep lexical
hooks/config carveouts. FIFO coverage stays on unix so Windows still
compiles.

* fix(sandbox): protect worktree git pointer directly

* test(sandbox): skip unavailable symlink fixture

* fix(sandbox): preserve git symlink semantics

* fix(sandbox): limit git pointer carveout to regular files

KRATOS 7acac7acee fix(sandbox): refcount temporary roots so one holder's cleanup cannot revoke another's (#911)
* fix(sandbox): a temporary root is refcounted, so one holder's cleanup cannot revoke another's

Split out of #829 as an independent fix, per @Vasanthdev2004's review asking for
the self-contained pieces to arrive separately.

A temporary grant was add-then-remove with no notion of who still needed the
root. The second caller to ask for a root already present got a NO-OP undo, and
the first caller's cleanup then removed the root out from under it — so a live
grant lost its access while its holder still believed it had it.

Two read-only tools in the same parallel batch, both blocked on the same
directory, is exactly that shape, and read-only tools are precisely the ones the
batch runs concurrently.

tempReads/tempWrites now count live holders, and the root is only stripped when
the last one releases.

The release also performs both mutations under ONE hold of the lock. Dropping it
between them left a window where the root was still in readRoots but no longer in
tempReads: a concurrent AddTemporaryRead landing there reads it as a PERMANENT
root, hands its caller a no-op undo, and this call then strips the root — so that
caller believes it holds access it has already silently lost.

Independent of the remaining #829 work; builds and tests against current main on
its own.

* fix(sandbox): a read covered by a TEMPORARY write root takes a reference too

Found by a self-review of this branch: the refcount closed the defect within
reads and within writes, but not across them.

AddTemporaryRead returned a no-op undo whenever writeRootCoversLocked said a
write root already covered the path, and the comment there claimed that cover was
permanent. It is not: writeRootCoversLocked scans extraRoots, and
AddTemporaryWrite appends TEMPORARY write roots into that same slice. So a read
covered by another holder's temporary write took no reference, and that holder's
cleanup silently revoked the reader's access — the very defect the refcount
exists to close, reached across the read/write boundary instead of within one
side of it.

Demonstrated before fixing, and the regression fails without it:

  ReadRoots before release = [ws, …/outer]
  ReadRoots after  release = [ws]
  the write holder's cleanup revoked a live read grant on …/outer/inner

The read now takes a reference on the covering temporary write root, and the
genuinely permanent case — the workspace root, or a session-scoped grant — still
returns a no-op undo.

The regression also asserts the other direction: once the reader releases too,
the root is gone, so the reference does not leak the grant past its last holder.

* test(sandbox): make the concurrency test concurrent, and portable off macOS

Both raised by CodeRabbit. The third finding on this PR — a read covered by a
TEMPORARY write root taking no reference — was already fixed in 87a722cb with the
regression it asked for; this covers the two that were still live, and both are
cases of a test reporting more than it checked.

THE CONCURRENCY TEST WAS NOT CONCURRENT. The gate spun until hasReadRoot saw
somebody holding the root, which is satisfied by the FIRST holder, then opened
the release. The spin wins that race against goroutines still being scheduled:
instrumented over 200 runs, 194 peaked at a single simultaneous holder and not
one ever reached eight. A test named for concurrent holders was exercising one
holder at a time. Against a deliberately broken refcount, where the first release
strips the root, it passed 33 times in 40 — it was a flaky test that mostly
agreed with broken code. Counting all eight acquisitions makes the overlap real:
200 of 200 runs now peak at eight, and the same broken refcount is caught 40
times in 40. Holders signal the barrier on every path including failure, so a
holder that returns early fails the test rather than hanging it.

THE HELPER SKIPPED ON WINDOWS. scopeOutsideRoots reached for /Users/Shared and
fell back to /var/empty, neither of which exists there, so every test built on it
skipped and reported green having asserted nothing. It now uses the home
directory, which no platform lists as a default write root, matching what
scope_extra_read_test.go already does — and then PROVES the choice against
defaultTempWriteRoots rather than assuming it, so a future default root turns
these tests into an honest skip instead of a silent no-op.

* fix(sandbox): a permanent grant outlives the temporary one, and an undo is per holder

Both P1s from @anandh8x, both reproduced before changing anything, and both are
the same mistake in different places: treating "something covers this path" as
though it answered "and will it still be there afterwards".

A PERMANENT GRANT WAS REVOKED BY A TEMPORARY HOLDER. extraRoots holds temporary
write roots alongside permanent ones, so Add asked only whether the path was
already covered. A session-scoped grant made while a temporary holder happened to
cover it recorded nothing at all, and disappeared the moment that holder
released. Outliving the request that prompted it is the entire difference between
Add and AddTemporaryWrite, and it was not happening. AddRead had it too,
including across the boundary: a permanent read covered only by a temporary WRITE
root died with that root.

Permanent coverage is now looked for first and across every root, so a temporary
cover cannot decide the answer when a permanent one is also present. The same
root held temporarily is promoted in place — its holders' releases become no-ops,
which is what permanence means here. A BROADER temporary root over a narrower
permanent grant cannot be fixed by promotion, so the narrower root is recorded in
its own right; that is the case he specifically called out, and it is the one a
promotion-only fix would have missed.

ONE HOLDER'S UNDO IS ONE HOLDER'S REFERENCE. The comment on releaseTemporaryRead
claimed each undo is called exactly once and that flooring the count at zero
covered the rest. Flooring stops the count going negative; it does nothing about
a holder's second call consuming a DIFFERENT holder's reference. With two
readers, calling the first's undo twice took the count 2 -> 1 -> 0 and removed a
root the second was still using — the exact revocation this refcount exists to
prevent, reached through a duplicate call rather than a sibling's cleanup, and a
deferred cleanup in a retry path is how a caller does that by accident. Every
undo handed out is now wrapped so it drops its own reference at most once, and
the comment says what is actually true.

Both mutation-checked: unwrapping the undo, and ignoring permanence in Add, each
fail the test that covers them. Race detector clean.

* chore(sandbox): re-request an automated review of this head

No code change. CodeRabbit's verdict on this PR is pinned to ff85dbcc, a commit
that no longer exists on the branch, and a stale changes-requested keeps the PR
at mergeStateStatus=BLOCKED exactly as a human one would. It re-reviews on push
rather than on request, and repeated @coderabbitai triggers over five days
produced nothing, so this is the only lever available without maintainer rights.

The cost is that this dismisses @Vasanthdev2004's and @anandh8x's approvals of
4a7063aa. The tree they approved is byte-identical to this one.

* test(sandbox): a fixture failure fails, a report cannot deadlock, and AddRead's
own branches are covered

All raised by CodeRabbit on the full review. Every one verified before changing
anything.

## The concurrent test could hang instead of failing

failures was buffered at one slot per holder, but each goroutine can report at
BOTH hasReadRoot checks — its own grant going missing while held, and again
after the release gate. Nothing drains the channel until after wg.Wait(), so the
ninth report blocks forever, wg.Done() is never reached and the wait hangs. The
test would deadlock in exactly the case it exists to catch: a refcount bug
severe enough to fail more than eight of eight holders. Buffered at 2*holders.

## A broken fixture reported itself as a pass

TestANarrowerRequestHoldsTheCoveringGrant called t.Skip when os.MkdirAll failed.
The directory is the fixture, not a precondition the environment may reasonably
withhold, and the sibling test above it already uses t.Fatal for the same call.

## Two tests assumed something they never checked

Both tests in scope_extra_read_test.go place their grant under $HOME precisely
because NewScope seeds /tmp and $TMPDIR as write roots — a grant that collapsed
into one of those would be writable for a reason unrelated to the property under
test. $HOME is normally clear of them, but a sandboxed or CI environment that
points HOME at a temp directory turns both tests into something that proves
nothing while still reporting PASS.

homeGrantOutsideTempRoots now builds the fixture for both and skips with the
reason when the assumption does not hold. Verified by running with HOME set to a
temp directory: both tests SKIP naming the covering root, where before they
passed. The path is resolved before comparing, because the temp roots are
resolved and /var is a symlink to /private/var on macOS.

## AddRead's branches were only covered from the write side

Two subtests added: a permanent read under a temporary WRITE root, and a narrow
permanent read under a BROAD temporary read root. Both mutation-checked by
removing the corresponding temporary-coverage guard in AddRead — each fails.

The first mutation I ran did not fail its test, and the finding looked wrong: the
pattern being edited occurs in Add, AddRead and AddTemporaryWrite alike, and a
first-match edit had changed Add. Re-run against the line inside AddRead, it
fails as claimed. Recorded because a mutation that misses its target is
indistinguishable from a test that holds.

## Also asserted: the refcount table is empty, not merely invisible

hasReadRoot answers what a caller can see. An entry left at zero in tempReads is
not visible that way and would still leak one map entry per acquire/release
cycle, so the contention test now checks the terminal state directly.

* fix(sandbox): a reader outliving its writer keeps read authority, not write

Reported by @jatmn, and it is a privilege escalation rather than a lifetime bug.

AddTemporaryRead, given a path already covered by a temporary WRITE root, took a
reference on that write root and returned an undo that released it. The lifetime
was then correct — the reader no longer lost its access when the writer cleaned
up — but the capability was wrong. extraRoots feeds validate(), which authorises
WRITES, so once the write holder released first the path stayed in extraRoots for
as long as the read holder lived. A caller that asked only to READ could write
anywhere below the former write root after the write grant had ended.

His diagnosis names the root cause exactly: one write-capability reference was
doing two jobs, tracking a lifetime and standing in for a read-only dependent.

The lifetime is now kept as what the caller actually asked for — a temporary READ
root on its own path. AddTemporaryRead consults permanentWriteRootCoversLocked
rather than writeRootCoversLocked, so a merely temporary write cover no longer
short-circuits it into borrowing write authority.

Mutation-checked: restoring writeRootCoversLocked in that branch compiles and
fails the regression on three separate assertions — the reader keeps no read root
of its own, ReadRoots() loses the path, and the writer's cleanup revokes a live
read grant.

Two things a verification pass turned up that are worth recording:

The comment justifying this design said readRoots "feeds ReadRoots() and nothing
else". That was false — it also feeds ExtraReadRoots(). The security argument
survives, because neither confers write authority and validate() reads
workspaceRoot plus extraRoots, which this path never enters. But that sentence IS
the written justification for the whole choice, so it now lists both and says why
neither grants write.

The "the reader releases first" subtest passes on the unfixed tree: the
escalation needs the WRITER to go first. It is a real no-regression control for
the opposite ordering, not evidence the finding is closed, and it is renamed to
say so rather than padding the count.

Rebased onto ad34dc8d as requested. go test -race ./internal/sandbox/ -count=5:
clean. Pre-existing here and on main, unrelated:

* fix(sandbox): a nested write holder keeps only the subtree it asked for

Reported by CodeRabbit, and it is the write-side twin of the read-side
escalation @jatmn found — I had disclosed it on this PR as still open, so this
closes it rather than deferring it again.

AddTemporaryWrite, given a path already covered by a broader TEMPORARY write
root, took a reference on that covering root. The lifetime was right and the
capability was wrong, exactly as on the read side: extraRoots is what validate()
authorises writes from, so keeping the covering root alive handed the nested
holder everything its neighbour had asked for.

Reproduced:

  both held           tempWrites={outer:2}                extraRoots=[... outer]
  after outer release tempWrites={outer:1}                extraRoots=[... outer]
  -> the inner-only holder can WRITE outer/sibling/not-mine.txt

A narrower request now records its own root. Each holder gets exactly the
authority it asked for and a lifetime of its own:

  both held           tempWrites={outer:1, inner:1}       extraRoots=[... outer inner]
  after outer release tempWrites={inner:1}                extraRoots=[... inner]
  -> sibling denied, inner retained

Only an EXACT match shares a refcount entry; a narrower one never does, which is
the distinction the escalation turned on. The nesting costs a redundant
extraRoots entry while both holders are live, which is not wrong — the broader
root already permits everything the narrower one does.

Three regressions: the escalation itself (broad holder releases first), the
opposite order as a control, and two holders of the same root sharing one entry.

Mutation: restoring the covering-root borrow compiles and fails the escalation
test on both the sibling and the covering root itself.

Honest note on a second mutation. Removing the permanent-cover early return
compiles and fails NOTHING. That is correct rather than a coverage gap: a
permanently covered request would then record its own temporary root, which is
redundant but harmless, since the permanent root outlives it and already permits
the writes. The early return is a cleanliness guard, not a correctness one, and
I would rather say so than write a test that pretends otherwise.

* test(sandbox): the outside-roots fixture fails loudly instead of skipping

Raised by CodeRabbit, and the helper had already written the argument against
itself: its own comment says "A skip is not a pass" while three of its four exits
were skips.

Every caller of scopeOutsideRoots asserts an AUTHORIZATION boundary — who may
write where, and whose release revokes it. A skipped fixture means that assertion
never ran and the build reported green anyway, which is precisely the failure the
helper was written to close. It closed it for one case (a home directory that
resolves nowhere on Windows) and left the others open.

Three exits become fatal:

  os.UserHomeDir failing        — resolves on every platform Zero supports
  os.MkdirTemp(home) failing    — a home that will not take a temp directory is a
                                  broken machine, not a limited one
  os.MkdirAll under base        — base was just created successfully, so a
                                  subdirectory failing under it is the same

If any fires, the right outcome is a red build somebody fixes, not silent
non-coverage of the sandbox's write rules.

ONE SKIP STAYS, and it is a different kind. When the grant path is already inside
a default write root, the fixture built correctly and the machine is fine — the
grant simply cannot demonstrate anything, because that path is writable before
any temporary grant exists. Running on would assert a permission that was never
in question. The comment now says which kind it is, so the distinction survives
the next reader.

Verified the fatal path fires: forcing the MkdirTemp error compiles and fails
TestANestedWriteHolderKeepsOnlyItsOwnSubtree at the fixture with the reason,
where it previously reported a pass.

* fix(sandbox): least authority for nested readers, and a hermetic grant fixture

@jatmn's three findings, taken as one pass over the grant construct rather than
as three local patches — his point that the same invariant kept not being
reapplied to the symmetric branch was fair, and this is the symmetric branch.

## The nested reader kept its neighbour's tree

AddTemporaryRead had exactly the shape AddTemporaryWrite was fixed for one
commit earlier: reader B asking for outer/inner took a reference on reader A's
covering root. Lifetime correct, capability wrong. readRoots feeds validateRead
and the native sandbox profile, so once A released, B could read outer/sibling.

Reproduced: tempReads={outer:2}; after A releases, the inner-only reader reads a
sibling it never asked for.

The rule is now the same on both sides: permanent coverage decides first, an
EXACT temporary root shares one refcount, and a narrower request records its own
root. Mutation: restoring the borrow fires both escalation assertions.

## Slice order no longer decides permanent coverage

permanentReadRootCoversLocked asks the whole question over both lists before any
insertion order can answer it, and AddRead now uses the same predicate instead of
its own scan, so the two cannot drift.

Honest note: with the borrow gone, this mutation is no longer catchable. Making
the scan return at the first covering entry compiles and fails nothing, because
AddTemporaryRead no longer borrows anything — it either no-ops or records its own
root, and neither escalates. The guard now prevents a redundant refcount entry
rather than an escalation. Verified by measurement, not assumed.

## A test that asserted the defect

TestANarrowerRequestHoldsTheCoveringGrant proved a lifetime property by
asserting the BROAD root was still present after the broad holder released —
which is the escalation written down as a requirement. It is replaced by tests
that assert lifetime and authority separately: the requested path stays readable,
the sibling and the covering root do not, plus the reverse release order,
exact-root sharing, and a permanent narrow root not borrowing a broad temporary
one.

## The obsolete predicate that broke CI

writeRootCoversLocked lost its last caller when the three coverage decisions
moved to permanentWriteRootCoversLocked and exact-root logic. make lint-static
reproduced the Windows `unused` failure locally. Removed rather than suppressed.
This is on me: I did not run lint-static before the previous push, which is a
required step, and CI caught what I should have.

## Fixtures out of the real home

scopeOutsideRoots and homeGrantOutsideTempRoots both built fixtures under
os.UserHomeDir(). Fixed at the cause jatmn identified rather than by relaxing the
setup checks: NewScope seeds the system temp directory as a permanent write root,
which is what made a t.TempDir() grant vacuous and sent the fixture to HOME in the
first place. Both helpers now build the Scope DIRECTLY — the pattern
scopeOutsideDefaults and temporaryWriteFixture already used — so no defaults are
seeded, t.TempDir() is outside by construction, and nothing touches HOME.

Each helper now asserts the NEGATIVE against its own scope before returning: the
target must be unwritable, and unreadable where relevant, before any grant
exists. That is stronger than the old check against defaultTempWriteRoots(),
which asked about a scope these tests no longer build.

Verified with HOME readable but not writable (caches redirected): the sandbox
suite passes. The one remaining failure there is
TestSeatbeltEnforcesExtraWriteRoots in seatbelt_integration_darwin_test.go, which
is NOT in this PR's diff — pre-existing, same shape, and worth its own issue
rather than riding along here.

* refactor(sandbox): drop the child-grant accessors this PR does not consume

Reported by @jatmn.

ExtraRoots and ExtraReadRoots have no production caller anywhere in the tree —
only their own definitions and this PR's tests. They arrived with the initial
split because the extraction was made at the file level: the temporary-root
implementation came across while the CLI and runner wiring that consumes them
stayed behind in #829's child read-grant propagation area. That leaves unrelated
production surface in a branch scoped to refcounting.

Both accessors are removed, along with the getter-only propagation assertion that
existed to exercise them. The refcount regressions that used ExtraRoots only to
inspect beyond-workspace write state now use a test-only helper over Roots(),
because that inspection is a test concern rather than an API this branch needs.

Nothing about the refcount, permanence, least-authority, atomic-release or
hermetic-fixture work changes, and no child propagation is wired here — that
would widen the scope rather than fix the extraction boundary.

One comment needed correcting rather than deleting. The justification for keeping
a reader's lifetime as a READ root named the lists readRoots feeds, and that
sentence has now been wrong in both directions: an earlier draft said "ReadRoots
and nothing else" while ExtraReadRoots also read it, and the accessor it was
corrected to mention is the one being removed here. It now describes what ships
and says why the list has to stay exhaustive as accessors change.

Rebased onto 6fe0d1ed, 0 behind. lint-static: 0 issues.

Kevin CodexandClaude Fable 5 2749447cdc fix(tools): make apply_patch tolerant and re-expose edit_file (#956)
* fix(tools): make apply_patch tolerant and re-expose edit_file

Head-to-head benchmarking against Grok Build on grok-4.6 (3 tasks × 3 runs)
showed Zero solving every task but spending 2.7× the tokens and 2.3× the
time on the multi-file feature task. Every one of the 20 apply_patch calls
in those runs failed, after which the model degraded to whole-file
write_file rewrites and read→write verification loops.

Root causes and fixes:

- The sandbox and the tool both rejected an absolute path that lies inside
  the workspace ("must stay inside the workspace"). Models routinely echo
  the absolute path read_file showed them. Absolute paths now flow through
  the normal workspace-scope validation (inside → allowed, outside → still
  denied); unified-diff headers are rewritten to a/ b/ relative form before
  git apply, and platform symlink prefixes (/var → /private/var) are
  normalised the same way the other file tools do.
- The structured parser demanded a byte-exact "*** Begin Patch" /
  "*** End Patch"; grok-4.6 writes "*** Begin Patch ***". Decorated marker
  spellings are accepted, and a unified range after "@@" ("-12,4 +12,6",
  optionally with a heading) no longer becomes a literal context search.
- Parse errors now carry a one-line format reminder so a failed call is
  recoverable in one retry instead of a format-guessing loop.
- edit_file (exact search/replace with uniqueness guard, CRLF and fuzzy
  fallbacks) is advertised to the model again alongside apply_patch, and
  the apply_patch description shows the structured format.
- Writers (edit_file, write_file, apply_patch) recorded a file's line total
  with lineCount, which is one higher than read_file's count for a file
  ending in a newline. RecordSeenRange resets every observation when the
  total changes, so a partial read_file after a successful edit silently
  discarded whole-file knowledge and the next edit was refused with
  "content that has not been read exactly in this session". All writers
  now record the same total read_file reports (trackedLineTotal).
- read_file's padded "  N | " line prefix was ~19% of every read (about
  1.5k tokens per 800-line file) and was re-sent on every later call. It is
  now the compact "N→" prefix models already know; nothing parsed the old
  form.
- The editing-discipline prompt steers: edit_file for a targeted change,
  apply_patch for multi-hunk/multi-file changes, write_file only for new
  files or full rewrites; a successful edit result is confirmation, so the
  file is not re-read to verify it.

Tests: regression tests for decorated markers, writer/reader line-total
agreement (edit → partial read → edit far away still succeeds), range hunk headers,
absolute in-workspace paths (structured + unified), outside-workspace
rejection, header-line-only relativisation, and tool visibility; the
prompt and tool-budget tests updated to the new contract.

Benchmark (grok-4.6, 3 tasks x 3 runs, harness in demo/bench-zero-vs-grok):
Zero 0.8.0 617 s / 1,527k tokens -> with this change 346 s / 493k tokens;
Grok Build 407 s / 713k. Every run of every configuration solved its task.

* fix(tools): keep CRLF line endings when relativizing patch headers

relativizeUnifiedPatchPaths split on a normalized "\n" and rejoined with
"\n", so any CRLF patch that needed a header rewrite lost its line endings
everywhere; git apply could then fail to match a CRLF file. Split on "\n"
only and carry each line's trailing "\r" through, including on rewritten
headers.

* fix(sandbox): share the structured-patch classifier with apply_patch

Review follow-ups for #956:

- The tool accepted decorated structured markers ("***Begin Patch") that
  the sandbox's applyPatchPaths did not recognise, so for that spelling the
  boundary scanned the patch as a unified diff, extracted no targets and
  validated nothing. The marker classifier now lives in the sandbox package
  (StructuredPatchMarker / IsStructuredPatch) and the tool delegates to it,
  so both sides accept exactly the same set; tests cover inside, traversal
  and outside targets for the no-space spelling at the boundary.
- Document the containment model at the apply site: structured patches are
  applied through an opened os.Root (descriptor-relative, no-follow);
  unified diffs keep the pre-existing git-apply pathname flow, which the
  absolute-path rewrite does not widen (they become the same root-relative
  form relative paths always used).
- OpenAI addendum: the one-file-per-call rule names read_file, edit_file and
  write_file explicitly and allows a single multi-file apply_patch.

* fix(tools): apply unified diffs in-process through the workspace root

Review follow-up for #956. Unified diffs were validated by pathname and then
handed to git apply, which reopened the targets by name — a check-to-use
window a symlink swap could exploit — and the absolute-path rewrite added in
this PR normalised `diff --git` headers with strings.Fields, which splits a
git C-quoted path containing whitespace.

Both go away by not shelling out at all: parseUnifiedPatch translates a
unified diff into the same operations a structured patch produces, and both
formats are applied by applyPatchOperations through os.OpenRoot — every
stat, read, create and write is descriptor-relative and refuses to follow a
link out of the root. git is no longer required by apply_patch.

Unified-diff support: modifications, creations (--- /dev/null), deletions
(+++ /dev/null), multiple hunks per file, git "rename from/to" (a move,
hunks optional) and "copy from/to" (a new copy operation whose destination
inherits only the tracker credit the source had), "\ No newline at end of
file" on either side, a/ b/ prefixes, C-quoted paths, CRLF patches, and
git's diff/index/mode lines. Hunks are placed at their "@@ -a,b" range when
the expected lines match there and located by context otherwise (so a
stale range still applies and duplicate blocks are disambiguated by the
range). Binary patches are rejected.

Removed: the git apply flow, relativizeUnifiedPatchPaths,
recheckPatchWriteTargets, missingPatchTargets, completeCreatedPatchTargets
and recordCreatedPatchTargets. validatePatchPaths/changedFilesFromPatch stay
for mutation-target listing.

Tests: the existing unified-diff suite now runs through the in-process
applier unchanged; new coverage for quoted whitespace paths (inside applies,
outside is refused untouched), a workspace path swapped for a symlink that
escapes the root (both formats refused, outside file unmodified), create +
delete + no-newline markers, range hint vs context fallback, rename with a
hunk, and binary/empty rejection.

* fix(tools): harden unified-diff parsing and cover the copy operation

Review follow-ups for #956 (in-process unified applier):

- A hunk that ends before its declared line counts is reported as
  malformed instead of silently absorbing the next file's ---/+++ header
  pair (which then failed later against the wrong file). Both shapes are
  caught: leftover counts at a header or at end of input, and a --- line
  directly followed by +++ inside a hunk. The element after a patch's final
  newline is no longer counted as an empty context line, so a truncated
  hunk cannot look complete.
- "\ No newline at end of file" may only follow a file's final hunk; a
  marker before another hunk is rejected rather than leaking into that
  hunk's result.
- Zero-context insertions (git diff -U0) are documented as
  position-trusting by design, matching git apply without fuzz; hunks with
  context are verified at the range before it is used.

Tests: copy from/to (source kept, destination created with the hunk
applied and tracked with the source's whole-file state; existing
destination refused untouched; copy onto itself refused), over-declared and
truncated hunk counts, and the no-newline marker before vs after the final
hunk.

* fix(tools): require an @@ line before treating ---/+++ inside a hunk as a file boundary

A removed "-- x" line directly followed by an added "++ y" line is valid
hunk content that also matches the ---/+++ header shape; the boundary check
now additionally requires the following line to be a hunk header, and a
regression test keeps such a pair intact. End-of-input strictness for a hunk
cut short is documented as deliberate: applying a truncated hunk would make
a partial change (removals without their replacements).

* fix(tools): verify a unified deletion's expected content before removing the file

A unified diff's "+++ /dev/null" hunks state the content being removed, but
the in-process applier dropped them and deleted unconditionally, so a stale
deletion removed a file whose current content the patch never described.
Unified deletions now keep their hunks, require at least one, and run them
through the same verifier as updates: the hunks must match the current file
and leave nothing behind, otherwise the deletion is refused and the file is
untouched. A structured "*** Delete File" keeps its unconditional meaning.

Hardening from the same review: every non-create change re-reads its source
through the opened root immediately before commit and refuses to proceed if
the bytes differ from what was planned.

Tests: matching deletion, stale deletion (file byte-for-byte unchanged),
partial deletion, header-only deletion, multi-hunk deletion with one stale
hunk (nothing removed) and all-good hunks, structured delete unchanged, and
a source changed between planning and commit for update and delete.

* fix(tools): byte-exact unified deletions and git's header-only empty-file forms

Review follow-ups for #956:

- A unified deletion is verified byte for byte: the removed lines (with the
  removed side's "\ No newline at end of file" honoured) must equal the
  current file exactly, with only the file's own line-ending style
  normalised. None of the whitespace tolerance used to locate update hunks
  applies, and a whitespace-only remainder no longer passes; a deletion is
  not recoverable, so it fails closed.
- git describes an empty file's deletion or creation with header lines only
  ("diff --git", "deleted file mode"/"new file mode", "index") and no
  hunks. Both forms are recognised: the deletion is applied only when the
  current file is empty, the creation writes an empty file, and they compose
  with hunk-carrying files in the same patch.
- The pre-commit recheck test also covers the copy operation and asserts no
  destination is created on refusal.

Tests: whitespace/indentation/blank-line/space-only/missing-newline
mismatches all refused with the file unchanged, matching no-newline marker
and CRLF file accepted, header-only deletion of a non-empty file refused,
multi-file patch with header-only delete + create + a normal hunk.

* test(tools): remove the move source after planning via a deterministic hook

The refused-move test now creates source.txt, plans the move, and removes
the file through a test-only pre-commit hook (structuredPatchBeforeCommit)
so it exercises the post-planning disappearance path rather than a source
that was never there. Assertions unchanged: refused before publishing, no
destination created.

the expanded-card assertion are updated.

* fix(tools): name the committed files when a patch is partially applied

Review follow-up for #956. When a later change in a multi-file patch fails
(for example the pre-commit recheck refuses a file that changed after
planning), the error now lists exactly which files were already committed
and states that the rest are unchanged, instead of a generic "partially
applied" warning. The model can then re-read only what actually changed.

Test: a three-file structured patch whose second file is altered after
planning fails with "already committed: first.txt", first.txt holds the
patched content, and the other two files are untouched.

beardthelion 6edf9a8b78 fix(sandbox): normalize launcher names before the command-prefix denylist (#934)
* fix(sandbox): retire recorded approvals through a policy bump

Ahead of tightening which command prefixes may be approved, make the
upgrade path safe. A grant already on disk that the narrower rules
reject fails validation on read, and that path rejects the entire grants
file rather than the one entry. Every caller treats a read error as "no
grant" (engine.go LookupCommandPrefix, ApprovedCommandPrefixes, and the
Lookup in Evaluate), so one stale prefix would silently disable the
user's persisted deny grants too, with the error text never reaching
them.

Bump the approval policy version instead and let the store's existing
migration handle it: it backs the file up, keeps deny grants,
invalidates prior approvals, and reports the counts once through the
startup notice that both frontends already print. That is what the
mechanism was built for.

The v1-migration test pinned the policy version as a literal, so it now
derives the expected value from the constant and will not need editing
on the next bump.

* fix(sandbox): normalize launcher names before the command-prefix denylist

unsafeCommandPrefixLauncher matched the program name as written, so
python3.11, python2.7, python.exe, node.exe and git.exe all validated as
ordinary commands and could be persisted as command-prefix grants.
Lookup is a string-prefix match, so a single approval then auto-allowed
every later invocation: granting [python3.11 -c] covers
`python3.11 -c "import os; os.system(...)"` with no further prompt.

internal/agent's commandName already normalizes case and Windows
executable extensions for the allow side of the same decision; the deny
side did not, and the two disagreeing is the bug. Reduce the program to
the launcher it actually runs and match on that: executable extension,
Windows' trailing dots and spaces (python. starts python.exe), CPython
ABI flags, then a trailing version, testing the digit-stripped form as
well so python3.11 and python3 both arrive as python. A name is only
ever narrowed toward an existing entry, so the failure direction is an
extra permission prompt, never a silent grant. Digits without a
separator stay part of the name, which keeps base64, 7z and sha256sum
grantable.

Two Windows spellings cannot be resolved by name at all, so the shape is
refused alongside a path: 8.3 short names truncate the stem, which makes
POWERS~1.EXE unrecognizable, and python.exe::$DATA reaches the same
executable through its default stream. Normalizing the first token
before the banned-suggestion comparison keeps git.exe at parity with
git.

The list also gains launchers of the same class it already covers and
that normalization cannot reach: cmd, wsl, the remaining POSIX shells,
busybox, uv and uvx. Entries normalization now covers (/bin/bash,
/bin/zsh, powershell.exe, python3, pypy3) are gone; the first two were
already unreachable behind the path check above them.

Covers the persisted store, the session-scoped grants the agent takes
during a turn, the legacy-schema migration that prunes such a grant
per entry, and the Windows spellings hermetically.

* fix(sandbox): treat free-threaded CPython as a launcher too

The ABI flags came from the pre-3.13 set, so "python3.13t" and
"python3.13t.exe" normalized to themselves and stayed grantable as
command prefixes while the GIL build "python3.13" was refused. A
free-threaded interpreter runs arbitrary code just the same.

Add "t" to the flags trimmed under the existing digit guard, which is
what keeps ordinary names intact: "zstd" and "cat" have no digit beneath
the trimmed letters, so they keep their own names and stay grantable.

Reported by CodeRabbit on #934.

* fix(sandbox): refuse the remaining spellings of listed launchers

Same defect as the free-threaded build, found by sweeping the families
already on the list for names it cannot reach:

- nodejs is node on Debian and Ubuntu, and was grantable.
- python3-dbg, python3.11-dbg and python3.13t-dbg are interpreters that
  run arbitrary code; so are bash-static, pwsh-preview and
  node-nightly. A closed set of build-channel suffixes now normalizes
  them. The set stays closed deliberately: a general "-word" strip would
  also swallow node-gyp, python3-config and ruby-lsp, which are ordinary
  tools a user should still be able to approve, and those are pinned as
  must-stay-grantable.
- pnpm, yarn and bunx run package scripts exactly as npm and npx do, and
  npm and npx are already refused.
- sudoedit escalates like sudo.

The launcher-wrapper family (winpty, chroot, unshare, nsenter, parallel,
script, unbuffer, taskset, flock) has the same inconsistency against the
env/nohup/timeout/setsid entries already on the list, and is left for a
separate decision rather than widened here.

* test(sandbox): cover the -debug and -beta launcher suffixes

Four of the six build-channel suffixes had regression cases; -debug and
-beta did not, so removing either from the set left every test green.
Both now fail RED when their entry is dropped.

Capture file identity and content before publication, quarantine rollback targets atomically, and refuse destructive undo when a path was replaced or modified in place. Add deterministic coverage for publication and rollback races.

* Align structured patch failure semantics

Use prevalidated sequential application with explicit partial-success errors instead of unsafe multi-file rollback. Retain atomic per-file publication, no-overwrite creates, unsupported-hardlink fallback, and conservative tracker invalidation.

* Preserve patch context bytes

Track source offsets for structured-patch context lines and reuse the exact matched source text during replacement. This keeps tolerant matching from changing indentation or mixed line endings outside the requested edit.

55fa05f0ab fix(sandbox): deny reads of Zero credential stores (#681)
* fix(sandbox): deny reads of zero credential stores

* fix(sandbox): address PR review comments

- Deny reads of mcp-oauth-tokens.json.secret in the default Zero
  config candidates: file-backed oauth stores keep their encryption
  secret in a sibling .secret file, so the default MCP token store
  needs the same protection as the override paths (CodeRabbit).
- Clarify that explicit credential-file overrides are still filtered
  by on-disk existence like every other candidate (Copilot).
- Align the zeroUserConfigDir doc comment with config.UserConfigDir:
  macOS honors XDG_CONFIG_HOME before falling back to ~/.config
  (Copilot).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

* fix(sandbox): deny the whole Zero config dir, not itemized filenames

Address code review on PR #681:

- Deny credentialDenyReadPaths' Zero-config candidate as the containing
  directory instead of an itemized filename list. The token/credential/
  config stores each publish through a randomly-named .tmp-<pid>-<nanos>
  sibling before their atomic rename, and the legacy MCP token store
  leaves a mcp-oauth-tokens.json.migrated backup after importing it —
  none of those names were covered by the old itemized list, so a
  sandboxed command could read them under the read-all posture.

- Stop dropping default candidates that don't exist yet at profile-build
  time. A store created later in a long-lived sandboxed session (e.g. a
  concurrent ) previously got no deny rule at all; every
  backend already treats a deny rule over a not-yet-existing path as a
  harmless no-op that still takes effect once the path appears.

- Resolve ZERO_OAUTH_TOKENS_PATH / ZERO_MCP_OAUTH_TOKENS_PATH overrides
  the same way the token stores resolve them (relative-to-cwd, no ~
  expansion) instead of through normalizeProfilePath, which tilde-expands
  and so could derive a deny path different from where the store actually
  writes.

Adds regression coverage for the directory-wide deny (including the
migrated backup and synthetic temp-file siblings), for building the
profile before the store directory exists, and for the tilde-override
resolution mismatch.

The smoke test wired HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME at credential directories but never
attempted a read through the sandbox, so it could not catch a real-bwrap
regression for the paths this change protects. Write a secret into ~/.aws and
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zero and add both to the deny-read table.

* fix(sandbox): keep the credential deny usable, current, and unguessable

Four problems with the credential deny baseline, all in the same mechanism.

The whole-directory deny over $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/zero also hid the supported
user plugin, specialist, and command roots, whose commands and scripts are
executed through this sandbox, so an installed user plugin could no longer
start. Narrowing the deny to itemized files was not an option: the stores
publish through temporary names and a concurrent login can add a store that
did not exist when the profile was built, and only a directory rule covers
both. The directory deny therefore stays, and the non-secret subtrees are
carved back out through a new DenyReadCarveouts field: seatbelt re-allows
them after the deny (SBPL is last-match-wins) plus ancestor metadata so path
resolution can reach them, and bubblewrap masks the directory with --perms
111 instead of 000 -- unlistable but traversable -- and re-binds the carveout
read-only before the tmpfs is remounted read-only.

A relative ZERO_OAUTH_TOKENS_PATH, ZERO_MCP_OAUTH_TOKENS_PATH, or
XDG_CONFIG_HOME was resolved against the command directory only, while
oauth.ResolveStorePath and mcp.ResolveTokenStorePath call filepath.Abs, i.e.
resolve against the Zero process working directory. A command run from a
subdirectory therefore had the wrong path denied and the real store stayed
readable under the read-all posture. Relative candidates now resolve against
both directories, since the process that resolves the value is not
necessarily the one that writes the store. The regression test runs the
command from a different directory than the process, which the previous
tests did not.

bubblewrap cannot mount over a path that is absent when the namespace is
assembled, so a store created mid-session stayed readable through the live
read-only host-root bind for the rest of a long-lived sandbox session. The
directories Zero owns -- its config directory and the per-store publication
directories -- are now reported as EnsureDenyReadDirs and created (0700)
before the namespace is assembled, so their mask always exists. Third-party
stores such as ~/.aws are still skipped when absent: Zero must not create
them, and that limitation stays documented on the field.

The fixed <store>.tmp publication sibling made the plaintext token, and via
the same path its encryption key, observable to a same-user sandboxed process
with write access to an override parent: it could wait for the known name and
rename the opened inode into an allowed path. Both stores now publish through
a per-store <store>.publish directory with a randomly-named file inside. The
directory name is derived from the store path, so the profile can deny it up
front, while the random name inside is what cannot be waited for or renamed
away. A test keeps the duplicated suffix in step with oauth.PublicationDirSuffix.

Also adds the seatbelt render coverage that was missing: dropping
DenyReadIfExists from denyReadRules made every credential store readable
again on macOS without failing a single test.

* fix(sandbox): close credential deny review gaps

Preserve process credential roots alongside command overrides while limiting host precreation and read carveouts to trusted process-derived paths.

Canonicalize future credential roots through existing path aliases, reject symlink carveouts, and collapse automatic masks already covered by user or automatic directory denies. Normalize the policy golden and add regression coverage across profile, Seatbelt, and bubblewrap rendering.

Vasanth T 91b413c514 fix(sandbox): stop the Windows write jail honouring Everyone-granted paths (#865)
* fix(sandbox): stop the Windows write jail honouring Everyone-granted paths

The restricted token put the World SID (S-1-1-0, Everyone) in its
restricted-SID list unconditionally, from the original sandbox baseline
and with no comment saying why.

A WRITE_RESTRICTED token runs two checks for a write and needs both: the
normal one against its enabled SIDs, and a second against the restricted
list. The write jail rests entirely on that second check only succeeding
where Zero has explicitly ACL'd a capability SID. Everyone is a SID every
principal carries, so on any path whose DACL grants Everyone write, the
restricted half passed for free and confinement fell back to the ordinary
user's own permissions -- the exact boundary this token exists to be
stricter than.

Reachable with no privilege, no symlink and no race: an Everyone-writable
directory is enough, and share roots opened with Everyone:F and loose
third-party installer ACLs supply them. Ruled out as the common case:
C:\Users\Public\Documents grants BATCH, not Everyone.

The runner already stated the rule this broke -- it declines to add the
user SID, Administrators or SYSTEM because "each has write access nearly
everywhere" -- while listing Everyone among the restricted SIDs.

Removed only from the WRITE_RESTRICTED token, because without that flag it
is load-bearing rather than gratuitous. The restricted-SID check then
applies to reads too, and default Windows DACLs grant BUILTIN\Users rather
than anything in this list, so a token with no Everyone cannot open cmd.exe
and dies at launch with STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED (0xC0000022). Dropping it
there was tried first and takes TestWindowsUnelevatedRealSandboxSmoke with
it. That path is taken only when a profile configures DenyRead, which is
already the posture trading capability for read-deny enforcement (#612), so
the bypass survives there deliberately and narrowly; closing it needs a
read-side grant that is not a universal group.

Verified against real tokens rather than reasoned about. The new smoke test
drives the real runner and asserts three outcomes that only agree when the
jail is intact: a granted root is writable, an ordinary outside path is
denied, and an Everyone-writable outside path is denied too. Before the
change its third case wrote the file with exit 0; the first two were
already correct, which is what made the gap invisible. Restoring the SID
unconditionally turns it red again.

* test(sandbox): make a denied write distinguishable from a runner failure

The denial assertions expected exit 1, which the runner also returns for
its own errors -- a failed marker validation, a bad argument, a token it
could not build. Written that way the test passes both when the sandbox
denies the write and when nothing ever ran, and the second case proves
nothing while being indistinguishable from success.

That is a poor property for any test and a bad one for this test, whose
entire job is to notice a confinement regression. The leading
"granted root is writable" assertion covered part of it, but said nothing
about whether the two later commands launched.

The denial commands now report a distinctive exit code the runner cannot
produce for itself, so the code proves cmd.exe actually ran and its
redirect was refused.

Re-checked in both directions rather than assumed: the test passes against
the fix, and restoring the World SID unconditionally fails it with
"exit code = 0, want 77" -- still catching the bug it was written for.

Raised by CodeRabbit on #865.

Vasanth T 3e7692d8f0 fix(sandbox): scrub the daemon token file pointer (#677) (#818)
scrubSensitiveEnv removed ZERO_DAEMON_REMOTE_TOKEN but not its file
counterpart. TokenFromEnv accepts either form, so a sandboxed command
still inherited the path to the bridge token, and the default posture is
read-all, so it could then read the token itself.

Scrubbing the pointer is the whole fix rather than half of one: the path
comes from this variable alone and TokenFromEnv has no default location
to fall back on, so a command that never sees the variable has nothing to
guess at. This mirrors GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, which is already
scrubbed for the same reason.

Extends the existing scrub table, which compares the surviving
environment exactly, so the case fails if the entry is dropped. Verified:
without the fix the assertion reports ZERO_DAEMON_REMOTE_TOKEN_FILE
surviving into the scrubbed environment.

Vasanth T 33c94ec7a3 fix(sandbox): deny reads of git's credential stores (#815) (#816)
* fix(sandbox): deny reads of git's credential stores (#815)

git's credential-store backend keeps host passwords and personal access tokens
in cleartext, at ~/.git-credentials or ~/.config/git/credentials depending on
whether the user is on the XDG layout. Neither was on the deny list, so any
command the agent runs could read them.

Scoped to those two files deliberately. #815 also covers SSH private keys and
the GPG keyring, and those are a harder trade: denying ~/.ssh stops a sandboxed
git push over SSH from working, and excluding that directory is not even
sufficient, since an IdentityFile directive can point key material anywhere.
These two cost nothing by comparison, because git reads them to authenticate
rather than to know who the user is, so a sandboxed git keeps working and
simply cannot act as the user.

The XDG one denies the file rather than the directory around it, which is the
opposite of the choice made for ~/.config/zero and is deliberate: ~/.config/git
also holds the global git config, which userGitConfigReadPaths grants on
purpose so a sandboxed git can read user.name and aliases instead of failing
outright. Denying the directory would take that away.

Tests assert both stores are denied, that the git config beside the XDG one
stays readable, and that an explicit read grant still re-includes them like
every other entry. Dropping either entry fails the first; widening the XDG
entry to the directory fails the config assertion.

* test(sandbox): assert the credential deny exists before the grant lifts it

The allow-read case only checked that the credential store was absent from
the deny list once an explicit grant covered it. A deny rule that was never
added satisfies that just as well, so the test passed with the production
change reverted and proved nothing about the interaction it was named for.

Check both runs: denied with no grant, absent with one. The first leg is
what establishes there is something for the grant to override.

Keep user identity and configuration paths discoverable while retaining managed cache and temporary storage. Classify native sandbox failures as typed recoverable denials so approved commands can retry outside the sandbox.

Add regression coverage for global Git ignores, typed denial handling, and permission retry behavior.

* fix(sandbox): tighten denial retry safeguards

* test(sandbox): assert denial contract

* fix(sandbox): trust typed denials and restore Cargo state

Stop promoting command output keywords into recoverable unrestricted denials, so only structured adapter facts can enter the approved unsandboxed retry path.

Restore the managed CARGO_HOME directory and environment override so Cargo remains writable while the caller's real home stays read-only.

* fix(sandbox): mask preserved credential configs

Preserving caller configuration made credential-bearing tool files discoverable under Linux's read-all sandbox profile. Add default and environment-overridden npm, GitHub CLI, netrc, Docker, Kubernetes, and Zero config paths to the credential deny set, with regression coverage.

Clarify the typed-denial retry and platform read-model comments without changing the approval behavior.

* fix(sandbox): protect custom gcloud config

Anandan 518d2e53ba fix(windows): use PowerShell for command execution (#804)
* fix(windows): prefer PowerShell for command execution

Detect PowerShell 7 or Windows PowerShell before falling back to cmd.exe, and share the selected host shell across agent tools and the interactive shell escape.

Configure UTF-8 output, preserve restricted-sandbox MSYS safeguards, and add Windows coverage for pipelines, workspace writes, and interactive stdin sessions.

* test(windows): align shell coverage with PowerShell

Make Windows command fixtures and guidance assertions follow the selected host shell, preserve cmd fallback coverage, and use a genuine MSYS executable when PowerShell aliases are available.

Remove the unsupported non-TTY PowerShell stdin assertion; Windows interactive stdin requires a separate PTY transport.

* fix(sandbox): classify Windows executable suffixes

Normalize .exe, .cmd, .bat, and .com command names before safety and network lookup so PowerShell invocations such as curl.cmd receive the same network permission handling as curl.

Add analyzer and engine-level regressions for the Windows PowerShell command shape observed in CI.

* fix(sandbox): normalize absolute Windows command paths

Extract drive-letter and UNC basenames before removing shell escape characters so fully qualified Windows executables continue matching canonical safety and network classifications.

Cover both drive and UNC curl paths with analyzer regressions.

* fix(sandbox): normalize relative Windows paths

Recognize drive-relative, explicit relative, and suffixed backslash executable paths before generic shell escape removal so Windows commands continue to match canonical sandbox risk entries.

* fix(sandbox): do not lock the grants file when there is no notice to consume

Addresses jatmn's #755 finding.

ConsumeMigrationNotice took the interprocess lock unconditionally, and
lockStateFile MkdirAlls the grants directory and creates
<grants>.lockfile. Every startup and every 'zero exec' calls this, so it
turned reading the grant state into requiring a WRITABLE grants
directory: a user with no grants file whose ZERO_SANDBOX_GRANTS_PATH (or
its parent config directory) sits on a read-only mount failed outright
with 'failed to migrate sandbox grants', where the pre-lock code read an
empty state and wrote nothing.

Peek at the state without the lock first and return early when no
migration write is required. Only when one is — a schema/policy
migration, or clearing NoticePending — take the lock and re-read under
it, since the unlocked peek is a snapshot another process may have
already consumed or migrated, and is meaningless by contract when
needsMigration is set.

Both regression tests are verified to fail against the pre-fix code.
The read-only-directory test skips on Windows (mode bits do not deny
writes) and as root (permissions are bypassed), so a portable companion
asserts the same requirement by requiring that nothing is created at
all.

euxaristiaandClaude Sonnet 5 97ef90d27a chore: remove code unreachable on every supported platform (#706)
* chore: remove code unreachable on every supported platform

The Security and code health job's advisory deadcode step reports 152
unreachable functions on main. Running the same check under GOOS=linux,
windows, and darwin shows 13 of those are false positives whose callers
live in windows build-tagged files, so only functions unreachable on all
three platforms are touched.

Functions with no references anywhere are deleted, including the
internal/reasoning package, which nothing imports. Functions that only
tests reference move into per-package export_test.go files so tests keep
their seams while the production binary sheds the code. Test call sites
of deleted convenience wrappers are ported to the live APIs (scoped tool
constructors, tools.DeferredSource, FinishReason checks).

Kept despite the report: cron.Store.Runs (only reader of runs.jsonl,
which production writes), and agenteval.TraceEventKeys and
MissingTraceEvents (used across packages by the trace contract test).

* docs(config): correct ValidateFile's errors.As claim

Message is a flattened string (.Error() already called on the parse
error), not a wrapped error, so callers can't recover the concrete
json error type via errors.As. Fix the comment to match.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <[email protected]>

* chore(trace,skills): drop obsolete Sink adapters and fix stale doc references

The dead-code pass removed the Emit methods but left Sink, NDJSONSink, and
TextSink exported with a contract nothing implements; remove the types with
their contract. Also remove the stray blank line at EOF of trace.go flagged
by gofmt, and update skills package docs and HOW_ZERO_WORKS.md to stop
directing callers to DiscoveryRoots/Duplicates, which are now test seams.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

* chore: clean up remaining review nits on dead code removal

Replace a pointless fmt.Errorf(...%w...).Error() with fmt.Sprintf
using %v, since the wrapped error was discarded immediately anyway.
Remove a comment block that was duplicated verbatim.

* docs(skills): drop remaining references to test-only List/Get

Load and MergedSkills comments still named List/Get as production
entry points after they moved to export_test.go. Point callers at
Load and ListFromRoots instead.

* chore: remove now-unreferenced export_test.go seams

execSessionManager.len() and likelySandboxDenied/sandboxDenialKind had
no remaining callers after the sandbox unify-command-execution rebase;
the production code they wrapped for tests no longer exists.

Vasanth T 4945684fa2 fix(sandbox): bind Windows elevated ACL setup to one no-follow handle (#765)
Closes #728.

The Windows ACL setup resolved each target's pathname independently across
os.Stat, GetNamedSecurityInfo, and SetNamedSecurityInfo (and again on rollback),
so during elevated setup a lower-privileged local user could swap a target for a
symlink/junction between operations and redirect the ACL change onto a system
object the process never validated. That is a TOCTOU across a privilege boundary.

Open each target once with a no-follow handle (FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT plus
FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS, READ_CONTROL|WRITE_DAC) and drive both the read
(GetSecurityInfo) and the write (SetSecurityInfo) through that one handle, so they
hit the same kernel object. isDir is read from the same handle rather than a
separate Stat. A target that resolves to a reparse point is refused outright,
since a setup target that is a symlink/junction during elevated setup is the
swap-attack signature. Rollback re-opens no-follow rather than restoring by
pathname; the residual window is small because the target is ACL-restricted by
then, and one caller discards the rollback closure so handles are not retained for
the whole sandbox lifetime.

Tests (windows-tagged, no elevation needed): the handle-based apply plus rollback
round-trip on a user-owned temp dir, the materialize-and-remove path, reparse
rejection via a junction (needs no admin, so it runs in CI), and the not-exist
mapping. The full privilege-boundary race can't be reproduced in CI, so the guard
is verified structurally (one handle for read and write) and by junction rejection.

KRATOSandKRATOS f079b90f82 fix(sandbox): AST second opinion for interactive-command bypasses (#473) (#745)
* fix(sandbox): AST second opinion for interactive-command bypasses (#473)

The interactive-command guard split shell commands with a hand-written parser
(splitShellSegments), which mis-handles unusual quoting, command substitution,
subshells, and newline separators — an interactive program hidden by one slips
through and the agent hangs until the per-command timeout.

Add astCommandFields(): mvdan.cc/sh/v3/syntax (already used by analyzer.go) to
re-extract the real simple commands, then apply the SAME per-program checks the
regex path uses (interactivePrograms + hasNonInteractiveFlag). This only ADDS
detections and classifies every program exactly as before — ssh with a trailing
command, python -c, etc. stay allowed — while catching the splitter's bypasses.
Unparseable input (Windows cmd.exe, obfuscation) yields no commands and falls
through to the regex path; the guard never hard-blocks on a parse error.

* fix(sandbox): AST pass runs the full pipeline + guards dynamic programs (#473 review)

Address review on #745:
- The AST second opinion now applies the complete detection pipeline via a new
  inspectCommandFields helper (multi-word interactive segments, sh -c payload
  recursion, then the per-program lookup), so parser-hidden bypasses like
  { git rebase -i HEAD~1; } and { sh -c 'vim file.txt'; } are caught, not just
  bare interactive programs.
- astCommandFields now skips a CallExpr whose program word is not a static
  literal (isLiteralWord), so a substitution concatenated with a literal
  ($(printf foo)vim -> foovim) can't fabricate an interactive program name.

Regression tests added for both boundaries. (The un-braced $(printf foo)vim
false positive is a separate, pre-existing hand-parser behavior — present on
main before this PR — and is out of scope here.)

* fix(sandbox): require literal words for the whole AST call (#473 review)

astCommandFields guarded only the program word, then ran every argument
through wordText, which keeps literal/quoted parts and silently drops
CmdSubst/ParamExp. A dynamic ARGUMENT was therefore reconstructed lossily:
`git $(printf foo)rebase -i HEAD~1` runs as `git foorebase -i` (a
non-existent, non-interactive subcommand) but collapsed to `git rebase -i`
and was blocked -- a false positive on a command the user never wrote, and
new on this branch (the base correctly reports not-interactive).

Extend the literalness guard to every word in the call: if any word carries
an expansion, skip that AST command rather than classify a reconstruction
whose runtime value is unknowable. Skipping is the safe direction -- the
hand-written passes still run first, and a miss falls through to the normal
permission prompt instead of hard-blocking.

Genuine detection is unchanged: `git rebase -i HEAD~1` and the #473 bypass
cases still classify exactly as before.

KRATOSandKRATOS 684901165d fix(sandbox): don't auto-allow shell when re-entrancy skips wrapping (#727) (#744)
The ambient ZERO_SANDBOXED=1 + ZERO_SANDBOX_BACKEND markers are user-controlled
at an unsandboxed process boundary. Policy could auto-allow an ordinary shell
command (backend reports a native wrapping sandbox) while the runner, seeing the
same markers, returned an unwrapped pass-through plan — the command then ran
directly on the host with no isolation and no prompt.

shellSandboxActive now mirrors the runner: when IsAlreadySandboxed() (the markers
are present, so wrapping is skipped) the sandbox is not the boundary for this
command, so it reports inactive and the shell command takes the normal approval
path instead of auto-allowing. Immediate mitigation per the issue; authenticated
launch provenance is the longer-term fix.

A config value mistakenly given as a full assignment (e.g.
"COMPANY_LLM_SECRET=...") would never match the real env key during

normalizeSensitiveEnvKeys now keeps only the name part before '=' and

* fix(sandbox): scrub credentials on direct/degraded command plans

directCommandPlan (used when the native sandbox backend is unavailable,
disabled, or not required, including the EnforcementDegraded fallback)
left Env nil whenever spec.Env was nil, so exec.Cmd inherited the full
caller environment unscrubbed. Configured apiKeyEnv credentials and
dynamically named ZERO_OAUTH_<NAME>_CLIENT_SECRET variables leaked
through that path even though the wrapped sandbox plans already
scrubbed them.

Route direct plans through scrubSensitiveEnv the same way wrapped
plans do, snapshotting os.Environ() when spec.Env is nil so scrubbing
still applies. Adds a regression test covering the degraded-fallback
path with both a configured and a dynamically named secret.

* fix(windows): retry atomic file renames on Access is denied / Sharing violation

* test(swarm): add unit tests for rename retry and non-retryable errors

* test(swarm): skip TestMailboxRenameRetry on non-Windows platforms

* fix(sandbox): scrub sensitive provider credentials from sandbox env

* fix(sandbox): forward workspaceRoot through sandboxEnvironment, gate Windows env on backend

* style(sandbox,swarm): remove stray blank lines flagged by gofmt

* refactor(fsutil): extract shared rename retry helper, derive scrub list from provider catalog

Address CodeRabbit review feedback:

- Add internal/fsutil.RenameWithRetry with an injectable rename override and
  move the four duplicated renameWithRetry/isWindowsSharingViolation copies
  (cron, sessions, sandbox, swarm) onto it. Mailbox keeps its rename test
  seam by passing its field through. Add fsutil tests for the Windows retry
  and non-retryable paths.
- Remove the orphaned metadata.json.tmp in cron writeJob when the rename
  permanently fails, matching the sibling writers.
- Derive scrubSensitiveEnv keys from providercatalog AuthEnvVars plus a
  static list of non-catalog secrets, so new providers are scrubbed
  automatically. AWS_PROFILE and GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS stay
  because they are pointers, not secrets.

* fix(sandbox): deny sandboxed reads of cloud credential stores by default

Address CodeRabbit finding that scrubbed env pointers still left the
underlying credential files readable under the read-all workspace posture:

- Add credentialDenyReadPaths: default profile-level deny-read entries for
  ~/.aws, ~/.config/gcloud, ~/.azure, and the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
  target file, wired into both permission profile builders so the seatbelt
  and Linux helper backends enforce them. Entries are stat-filtered and a
  store nested under a user AllowRead entry is dropped, keeping an explicit
  opt-out.
- Keep the defaults out of Policy.DenyRead, whose emptiness gates escalated
  execution, and skip Windows so the profile deny list does not flip the
  runner off the WRITE_RESTRICTED token path.
- Scrub GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS from the sandbox env; keep AWS_PROFILE
  since the deny-read rule on ~/.aws is the real protection and the SDKs
  fall back to the default profile regardless.
- Add credential deny path tests, extend the scrub test, relax the profile
  test's exact deny count to containment.

* test(cli): pin HOME in sandbox policy golden test

The default credential-store deny-read entries depend on what exists in the
real home directory (the macOS CI image ships ~/.aws), which leaked host
paths into the policy JSON golden comparison. Point HOME at an empty temp
directory so the golden stays hermetic.

* fix(sandbox): protect GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS without a home, retry lock violations

Address CodeRabbit review feedback:

- credentialDenyReadPaths no longer returns early when the home lookup
  fails; home-based candidates become conditional and the
  GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS target is always considered.
- fsutil.RenameWithRetry also retries ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION (errno 33),
  matching the mcp lock handling; helper renamed to
  isWindowsSharingOrLockViolation.
- Extend tests: homeless GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS case and a lock
  violation step in the retry sequence.

* fix(sandbox): tighten env-scrub test assertion and add missing secret keys

TestScrubSensitiveEnv only checked an allowlist plus a length count, so a
duplicate allowed key silently replacing a required one would still pass.
Compare the exact expected key/value map instead.

Also add ZERO_WEBSEARCH_API_KEY and ZERO_DAEMON_REMOTE_TOKEN to
scrubSensitiveEnv's sensitiveKeys list: both are real bearer secrets read
from the environment but were missing from the scrub list, leaving them
readable by sandboxed commands when set in the parent shell.

euxaristia a5d2e327c8 fix(sandbox): use WRITE_RESTRICTED token when no DenyRead paths are configured (#658)
Removing the WRITE_RESTRICTED flag in #612 made the restricted-SID check
apply to reads as well as writes. Default Windows DACLs grant
BUILTIN\Users rather than any SID in the token's restricted list
(random capability SIDs, logon SID, Everyone), so the sandboxed process
could no longer open any executable or non-KnownDlls DLL: every spawned
command failed with exit 1 and no output, including cmd builtins'
children (gh, git, where.exe). The existing
TestWindowsRestrictedTokenNestedPipeCapture smoke test reproduces the
regression.

Restore WRITE_RESTRICTED, but only when the permission profile has no
DenyRead paths. The flag makes the kernel skip restricted-SID deny ACEs
for reads, which is exactly the DenyRead bypass #612 fixed, so profiles
that configure DenyRead keep the fully restricted token and trade spawn
capability for read-deny enforcement. DenyRead is empty by default, so
the common case regains a working sandbox while #612's guarantee holds
for the profiles that rely on it.

euxaristia 5c4815a66e fix(sandbox): unblock git fetch/commit/add under the write-restricted sandbox (#654)
* fix(sandbox): stop blocking git fetch/commit/add by unblocking .git writes

The sandbox denied every write under .git for shell-executed commands,
so any git operation that touches its own metadata (fetch, commit, add,
pull, merge, stash) failed under the default sandbox. Narrow the block
to .git/hooks (auto-executing scripts) and .git/config (remote URLs,
credential.helper, core.hooksPath), the two subpaths that are actually
dangerous to write; the rest of .git stays writable to git subprocesses
since those writes go through git's own invariants.

The app-level auto-allow gate for direct file-tool writes (write_file,
edit_file, apply_patch) is unaffected and still treats all of .git as
protected, since hand-editing git's internals bypasses those invariants.

* test(cli): normalize Windows path separators in sandbox policy golden

The sandbox policy golden is shared across platforms, but readOnlySubpaths
carve-outs are built with filepath.Join and render as backslash paths on
Windows. normalizePortableJSONRootString only converted a bare backslash, so
the Windows smoke run diverged from the forward-slash golden. Replace all
backslashes with slashes during normalization so the shared golden passes on
every runner.

euxaristia 3d96ac7e55 fix(sandbox): remove windowsWriteRestricted flag to fix DenyRead bypass (#612)
On Windows, creating restricted tokens with windowsWriteRestricted (0x08) instructs the kernel to skip checking the restricted SIDs list for read operations. This bypasses DenyRead path policies on NTFS. Remove the flag to enforce restricted SID constraints on both read and write operations, and add integration test assertions to verify that DenyRead paths are correctly blocked.

ba4c00755d fix(sandbox): Windows-appropriate suggestions when blocking interactive commands (#414)
* fix(sandbox): give Windows-appropriate suggestions when blocking interactive commands

DetectInteractiveCommand already receives goos, but its remediation
text for pagers (less/more/most), process monitors (top/htop/btop/
btm), and `tail -f` hardcoded POSIX-only alternatives (cat, head,
tail -n N, ps aux) regardless of platform. On Windows none of those
exist either, so blocking e.g. `type file | more` correctly stopped
the interactive command but then pointed the model at three more
commands cmd.exe doesn't have — directly undermining the guidance
this check exists to give. Reported in the wild (screenshot showing
`more` blocked with a "use cat, head, or tail -n N" suggestion on a
Windows session).

Adds an optional windowsSuggestion per program/segment, used in
place of the POSIX suggestion when goos == "windows" — `type` for
pagers, `tasklist` for process monitors, the read_file tool for
tail -f. Non-Windows suggestions are unchanged.

euxaristia 066681855b fix(tools): block MSYS and WSL shells under the Windows sandbox (#587)
* fix(tools): block MSYS and WSL shells under the Windows sandbox

Git-for-Windows bash.exe and sh.exe are MSYS binaries: the MSYS runtime
secures its signal pipe and shared-memory sections with explicit DACLs
granting only the user, Administrators, and SYSTEM (sigproc.cc
sigproc_init -> sec_user_nih), so under the WRITE_RESTRICTED token the
second access check can never pass and startup dies with "couldn't
create signal pipe" or "CreateFileMapping <SID>.1", Win32 error 5. The
System32 WSL bash launcher fails equivalently: the restricted token
cannot connect to the WSL service (Bash/Service/CreateInstance/
E_ACCESSDENIED). Every executable a bare bash can resolve to fails, so
block bash and sh preflight like the MSYS coreutils from #476, mention
the indirect spawn paths (git hooks, git/gh credential helpers) in the
shared suggestion, detect the WSL launcher's UTF-16LE service-denied
stderr, and document the root cause in the runner's KNOWN LIMITATION
comment beside the Schannel note.

euxaristia 8b248f4e11 fix(tools): platform-specific pager suggestions, quote/caret-safe cd detection (#543)
less/more/most now suggest `type` instead of cat/head/tail on Windows,
since those tools don't exist there. Drop `more` from the MSYS sandbox
suggestion too, since more is itself blocked as an interactive pager
and would send the model straight into that guard next.

detectShellCommandIssue also strips double-quoted spans and cmd.exe
caret escapes before matching the bash-style `cd /foo` pattern, so a
cd-shaped string inside a quoted argument (e.g. a commit message) isn't
mistaken for an actual command.

* fix: address bugs found in a multi-agent codebase audit

Five parallel review agents each swept a different area (self-update,
TUI keybindings, agent/session handling, sandbox/shell safety, and
auth/credential storage) and surfaced nine concrete defects, all fixed
here with regression tests:

- sandbox: grant_scope path comparisons were case-sensitive, letting a
  persisted deny grant be bypassed by spelling a Windows path with
  different case
- securefile/oauth: createSecretFile's Windows ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED
  handling was only applied to the oauth token store, not the shared
  credstore backend; both also masked the real lock-contention error
  behind a misleading "file does not exist" timeout
- cli: firstUsableProvider ignored OAuth logins when picking a
  fallback provider, forcing unnecessary re-onboarding for an
  already-authenticated user
- sessions: exec prompt summarization truncated on a raw byte offset,
  which could split a multi-byte UTF-8 rune and embed invalid UTF-8
  into a resumed session's prompt
- tui: configurable keybindings had no collision detection, so a
  remapped chord could silently make a hardcoded shortcut (or another
  configured binding) permanently unreachable
- tools: the Windows shell-syntax pre-flight check wasn't quote-aware
  and could block harmless commands whose quoted arguments merely
  contained operator-like text
- update: checksum verification didn't cross-check the archive
  filename it verified against the one being extracted; extractZip
  didn't reject symlink-mode entries like extractTarGz already did;
  replaceBinary's restore-on-failure rename had no retry, risking a
  permanently missing binary on a transient Windows file lock

* fix(tools): drop stale ; test case after rebasing onto main's MSYS check

Rebasing fix/bug-hunt-findings onto main pulled in #476, which replaced
this file's regex-based windows_shell_syntax detection with a
segment/word-anchored check and deliberately stopped treating ; as a
command separator on Windows (cmd.exe doesn't split on ; the way bash
does). detectShellCommandIssue itself came out of the rebase unchanged
from main (our quote-masking version was fully superseded by #476's
more thorough segment-based approach), but the quoted-content test
this PR added still asserted the old bash-style semantics for
`echo "foo" ; ls -la`, which now correctly returns no issue since it's
a single echo invocation with literal arguments under cmd.exe, not a
real ls invocation.

euxaristiaandClaude Fable 5 563a6dbe91 fix(sandbox): fix nested pipe creation under the Windows restricted token (#456)
* fix(sandbox): fix nested pipe creation under the Windows restricted token

Any subprocess spawned FROM WITHIN a process already running under Zero's
write-restricted token, that captures the child's output via a pipe, failed
with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Reproduces with `gh pr list` (gh shells out to git
and captures its output), with a bare Go program doing exec.Command(...).
Output(), and with cmd.exe's own FOR /F ('...') construct, which uses the
identical CreatePipe+CreateProcess pattern internally with no external tools
involved.

Root cause: a WRITE_RESTRICTED token requires a WRITE-type access check to
match BOTH the normal enabled-SID grant and a separate grant to one of the
token's restricted SIDs. CreateRestrictedToken does not modify the default
DACL it inherits from the base token, so a pipe created with a default
security descriptor (the common case; every language runtime's "spawn a
subprocess and capture output" primitive does this) only carries ACEs for
the base identity, none of which are in the restricted-SID list, so the
second check fails. This is the same failure family already documented for
Schannel/SEC_E_NO_CREDENTIALS, but broader in scope: it affects any pipe,
event, mutex, or other kernel object created with default security by a
process running under the token.

Fix: add the token's own logon SID (already unconditionally present in its
restricted-SID list) to the token's default DACL, so objects it creates
without an explicit security descriptor automatically satisfy the extra
check. This does not touch filesystem access: NTFS write-jailing is
enforced by the explicit ACL grants applied to workspace paths, created
WITH an explicit security descriptor, and the token's default DACL is only
consulted when none is supplied. Exposure is bounded to the same logon
session (only other processes running as the same signed-in user could, in
principle, open a NAMED object the sandboxed process creates with default
security; anonymous pipes have no name and are reachable only via an
inherited handle, so this is a no-op for the actual objects this fixes).

This is not specific to the unelevated tier added in #427 - the affected
token-construction code is shared by both the fully elevated and unelevated
restricted-token paths, so this predates that work.

Verified on Windows 11 (before/after, using an unfixed build for
comparison):
- Before: FOR /F fails with Win32 error 5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED), masked
  behind cmd.exe's generic "not recognized" message; `gh pr list` fails
  with "failed to run git: pipe: Access is denied."; a bare Go nested
  exec.Command(...).Output() fails with "pipe: Access is denied."
- After: all three succeed; `gh pr list` returns real PR data.
- Write-jail regression check: a write outside every granted root is still
  denied by the OS after the fix (unchanged from before).

New TestWindowsRestrictedTokenNestedPipeCapture (ZERO_SANDBOX_REAL_SMOKE=1)
pins the FOR /F case using only cmd.exe, no external dependency. go vet and
the full internal/sandbox suite are clean (excluding pre-existing failures
already present identically on unmodified main, unrelated to this change).

* fix(sandbox): fix dangling-buffer use-after-scope in default DACL merge

Addresses the blocker from review on this PR (Vasanthdev2004, gnanam1990,
coderabbitai): windowsTokenDefaultDacl returned a *windows.ACL that points
INTO the local buf byte slice backing TOKEN_DEFAULT_DACL - Windows embeds
the ACL data in the same allocation GetTokenInformation fills. The
function's own runtime.KeepAlive(buf) only covered buf up to that
function's own return; nothing kept it alive across the caller's later use.
In broadenWindowsRestrictedTokenDefaultDacl, the returned ACL pointer was
then dereferenced by native code in setEntriesInACL after intervening
allocations (the EXPLICIT_ACCESS literal, TrusteeValueFromSID) that are
GC-safepoint-eligible - a real use-after-free window in code that
constructs part of the sandbox's own restricted token, even though Go's
current non-moving GC meant it didn't manifest in testing.

windowsTokenDefaultDacl now returns the backing buffer alongside the ACL;
the caller holds runtime.KeepAlive(oldDaclBuf) until after
SetEntriesInAclW (the last point that dereferences it) returns.

Also from review: SetEntriesInAclW reports its Win32 error directly in the
return value, not via GetLastError, so setEntriesInACL now uses that
return value directly instead of the (potentially stale/unrelated) syscall
error. And narrowed the default-DACL grant from GENERIC_ALL to GENERIC_READ
| GENERIC_WRITE - the second WRITE_RESTRICTED access check only needs a
read/write match; GENERIC_ALL also implied DELETE/WRITE_DAC/WRITE_OWNER
that the pipe/event/mutex use case never needed.

Re-verified on Windows 11 with the fixed runner: nested pipe capture still
succeeds (pure Go exec.Command(...).Output(), and TestWindowsRestrictedTokenNestedPipeCapture
via go test itself), and the write-jail regression check (write denied
outside every granted root, allowed inside) is unchanged. Full
internal/sandbox suite green.

euxaristiaandClaude Fable 5 190241bd59 fix(tools): fix cmd.exe /S/C corrupting commands with embedded quotes (#465)
* fix(tools): fix cmd.exe /S/C corrupting commands with embedded quotes

Any shell command whose own text contains embedded double quotes -
python -c "print(15 / 3)", git commit -m "message", node -e "..." - was
silently corrupted on Windows before reaching the target program. Reported
live: a model ran python -c "print(15 / 3)" and got back a SyntaxError
showing the code Python received as literally "print(15, truncated right
before the /.

Root cause: bash.go passes the full command text as ONE argv element to
cmd.exe /d /s /c, and Go's os/exec escapes it correctly for a standard
CommandLineToArgvW-style parser (wrapping it in quotes, backslash-escaping
the embedded ones). But cmd.exe's own /C remainder parsing does not follow
those rules once /S is present: per its documented behavior, it strips the
FIRST and LAST literal quote character in the whole remainder - not a
matched pair - before handing the (now corrupted) text along to be
re-tokenized. The escaping was correct for one layer of parsing; the
command line actually goes through two.

Fix: on Windows, write commandText to a temp .cmd script file and point
/c at the file's path instead of the raw command text. This sidesteps
cmd.exe's /C-remainder heuristic entirely, since the remainder is then
just a plain path with no quotes to mis-strip. @echo off is prepended
since cmd.exe treats a /c target ending in .cmd as a batch file and
echoes each line it runs by default, which would otherwise pollute
captured stdout (caught by the existing bash tool test suite before this
commit, not left in).

buildBashCommand now returns a cleanup func (in addition to plan.Cleanup)
for the temp file. Both callers updated: bash.go's one-shot run defers it
immediately; exec_command.go's persistent session composes it with
startExecProcess's own cleanup and runs it after the session's process
actually exits, not before.

This fix lives upstream of the sandbox wrapping, in how the Name/Args spec
is constructed before either the direct or sandboxed code path consumes
it, so both benefit without separate sandbox-specific changes - cmd.exe's
own command-line parsing does not depend on what token launched it.

New TestBashToolPreservesEmbeddedQuotesOnWindows pins the exact failure
shape via a self-dispatch test helper (a quoted argument containing a
space and a slash, matching the original bug report's truncation point),
with no dependency on python being installed. Full internal/tools suite
green, excluding 3 failures pre-existing and identical on unmodified main
in my environment (unrelated path-assumption issues under a deeply nested
working directory).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>

* fix(tools): pass the shell command line to cmd.exe raw instead of via a temp script

Review on the original fix found real problems with running commandText
from a temporary .cmd file: it silently changed cmd.exe command-line
syntax into batch-file syntax (for example, for %i loops need %%i only
inside an actual .bat/.cmd file), /s was still corrupting the script
path itself if it contained spaces, and the script leaked on sandbox
planning errors.

The actual root cause was narrower than the temp-file approach assumed.
cmd.exe's own /C remainder parsing is not CommandLineToArgvW-compatible:
it strips the first and last literal quote from the remainder whenever
it starts with a quote, without undoing backslash-escaping. Passing
commandText as a normal exec.Cmd argument makes Go wrap it in exactly
that shape (quoted because it has spaces, inner quotes escaped as \")
since it contains embedded quotes, which is what the stripping then
corrupts.

Fixes it at the source instead: commandText now reaches cmd.exe
completely unescaped (via SysProcAttr.CmdLine for the unwrapped path,
and the same treatment inside the sandboxed runner's own process
creation for the wrapped path), exactly as if it had been typed at an
interactive prompt. No outer quotes means the stripping heuristic never
triggers for a command like `python -c "print(15 / 3)"`, and a command
that legitimately starts with a quoted executable path is handled by
cmd.exe's own careful quote-preserving special case for that shape.
Also drops /s, which forced the more aggressive of cmd.exe's two
stripping behaviors. No temp file, so nothing to leak on error, and no
batch-file reinterpretation of the command text.

internal/sandbox/windows_runner.go now owns the shared shell-argv shape
(WindowsShellArgs/WindowsShellCommandLine) so internal/tools/bash.go
and the sandboxed runner's windowsCommandLine build the exact same raw
command line instead of duplicating the flag literals in two places.

tests fail. Gate the assertion on runtime.GOOS != "windows" as well; POSIX
behavior is unchanged.

euxaristiaandClaude Fable 5 b9ddd6f421 feat(sandbox): unelevated Windows fallback tier instead of prompts-only degrade (#427)
Before the one-time elevated `zero sandbox setup` has run, Windows dropped
straight from the native sandbox to the in-process policy gate: commands ran
with no OS enforcement at all. But only the WFP network filters actually need
Administrator rights - the write-restricted token and the workspace ACL grants
(DACL edits on user-owned roots) work unelevated.

Add an `unelevated` enforcement tier between native and degraded: when the
elevated setup marker is missing and the profile restricts the filesystem, the
command still wraps through the command runner at a new `unelevated` sandbox
level. The runner applies the workspace ACL plan itself (recording applied
plans by hash in windows-unelevated-setup.json so repeat commands skip the
apply) and launches under the same write-restricted token, so the OS-level
write-jail holds. Network enforcement stays with the per-command approval gate
at this tier, and the downgrade reason says so; profiles that need the sandbox
only for network isolation keep the old degrade behavior, and `--sandbox
require` still errors with the setup hint.

Verified end to end on Windows 11 without elevation: a write inside the
workspace succeeds under the restricted token, a write outside every granted
root is denied by the OS (new ZERO_SANDBOX_REAL_SMOKE integration test, using
cmd.exe because managed PowerShell cannot initialize its crypto provider under
a write-restricted token on some hosts).

Anandan 644f61fa58 Fix shared temp roots in sandbox scope (#314)
Treat platform temp directories as default writable roots so file tools, shell commands, and sandbox profiles share the same temp view.

On Linux, bind host temp roots instead of mounting an isolated tmpfs at /tmp so artifacts created under /tmp remain visible across tool and shell calls.

Tests: GOCACHE=/tmp/zero-go-cache go test ./internal/sandbox ./internal/tools ./internal/cli ./internal/agent

KRATOS b776a9281f fix(sandbox): grant ancestor metadata so cd into the workspace works (#302)
* fix(sandbox): grant ancestor metadata so cd into the workspace works

macOS seatbelt granted file-read* on each read root via (subpath "<root>"),
which covers the root and its descendants but NOT its parent directories. An
absolute cd (and any path the kernel canonicalises) must stat each ancestor to
traverse to a deeply-nested workspace like /Users/me/Downloads/app — those
parents weren't granted, so seatbelt denied the chdir and surfaced it as the
misleading 'cd: <path>: Not a directory' (ENOTDIR). This blocked the agent from
cd-ing into its own workspace (e.g. 'cd /abs/workspace && go test').

Fix: grant file-read-metadata + file-test-existence on the path-ancestors of
each read root (metadata only — ancestor contents stay unreadable). Same pattern
already used for /opt/homebrew, /usr/local, /System/Volumes/Data/private.

Verified end-to-end: 'cd /abs/workspace && ...' now succeeds under the real
generated profile. go build/vet/test green.

* fix(sandbox): skip path-ancestors for filesystem roots (invalid SBPL)

Follow-up to the ancestor-metadata traversal fix. A read root of "/" has no
ancestors, and (path-ancestors "/") is invalid SBPL — sandbox-exec aborts with
exit 65 and the sandboxed command can't launch at all. This was reachable via the
compat builder (ReadRoots=["/"] flipped to restricted under EnforceWorkspace) and
any degenerate "/" workspace.

seatbeltAncestorMetadataRule now skips any root that is its own parent
(filepath.Dir(clean)==clean), neutralizing "/" and volume roots regardless of
entry point. Verified: the compat profile now compiles under sandbox-exec (exit
0). Found by adversarial verification of the prior commit.

* fix(sandbox): grant the CLT toolchain so git/clang/make work

On macOS, /usr/bin/git (and clang, make, etc.) are thin stubs that resolve the
real binary under the active developer dir — usually
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. The sandbox's platform read roots didn't
include it, so the stub couldn't reach the real tool and failed with the
misleading 'xcode-select: No developer tools were found' error. Add
/Library/Developer (read-only) to the platform read roots.

* fix(sandbox): allow reading the user's global git config

git reads identity/config from the user's global git config, but the sandbox
confines reads away from HOME, so it failed with 'unable to access ~/.gitconfig:
Operation not permitted'. Grant read-only on the git config FILES specifically
(~/.gitconfig and ~/.config/git/config) — not the ~/.config/git directory, which
can hold an XDG credential store — so git runs while credentials and the rest of
HOME stay unreadable. The path-ancestors traversal grant covers reaching them.

* fix(sandbox): let the agent terminate user-owned processes on request

The seatbelt profile only allowed signaling the agent's own process group
((target self) (target pgrp)), so a process started by a PREVIOUS session — e.g.
a dev server still listening on a port — was in a different group and could not
be killed. The agent would thrash through kill/pkill/osascript/sudo, all denied,
and never stop the process the user asked it to terminate.

Relax to (allow signal). The kernel still enforces UID ownership: a sandboxed
command runs as the user, so it can only signal the user's own processes, never
root's or another user's. Verified end-to-end: a sandboxed command now kills a
different-group user-owned process under the real generated profile.

* fix(sandbox): let the agent find processes + guide it to working tools

Pairs with the signal fix (8b5018d). Two more gaps blocked process management:
- process-info was scoped to (target same-sandbox), so the agent couldn't even
  inspect processes outside its own sandbox. Relaxed to (allow process-info*).
- `ps` is setuid root and macOS sandbox-exec refuses to exec setuid binaries
  (privilege-escalation guard) — unfixable via profile. `pgrep` needs a blocked
  system service. So the agent kept thrashing on ps/pgrep/os.kill.

Add macOS shell guidance pointing the model at the tools that DO work: lsof to
find a process, kill to stop it. With the signal grant, lsof+kill now manages
processes reliably (verified end-to-end).

* fix(sandbox): grant git config at the seatbelt rule, not the shared profile

The git-config read paths (~/.gitconfig, ~/.config/git/config) were added to the
cross-platform permissionProfileReadRoots, so they leaked HOME-dependent absolute
paths into the platform-agnostic 'sandbox policy --json' snapshot and broke the
golden test on every OS (machine-specific paths + Windows separators).

Move the grant to seatbeltReadRule (macOS only, where reads are actually
confined): the PermissionProfile stays platform-agnostic so the golden is stable,
and the seatbelt profile still grants the config files + their ancestor metadata
for traversal. Verified: golden test green, full 'go test ./...' green, and git
still reads ~/.gitconfig under the real generated profile.

* fix(sandbox): grant ancestor metadata for platform read roots too

Addresses CodeRabbit review on #302. seatbeltAncestorMetadataRule was passed only
fs.ReadRoots + gitConfig, on the assumption that platform read roots are top-level
or already covered. /Library/Developer (the CLT toolchain) breaks that: it needs
/Library stat-able as an ancestor, so a chdir-style traversal into it (cd
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools) failed with ENOTDIR even though reads
succeeded (exec doesn't require ancestor-stat the way chdir does).

Include the platform read roots in ancestorRoots when IncludePlatformRoots is set.
Verified: cd into the CLT toolchain now succeeds under the real profile; golden +
sandbox tests green. Regression test added.

Vasanth T 1b1abd5bf1 feat(sandbox): online/offline Windows network identity — run approved network commands sandboxed (#297)
* feat(sandbox): online/offline Windows network identity (run approved network commands)

Approved network commands bricked on Windows with "windows sandbox setup is out of
date: network policy changed": the setup marker was locked to network=deny, so any
command granted network (curl, git push, npm install) ran with network=allow and
failed marker validation.

Fix with a two-identity model that fits Zero's restricted-token architecture — no
extra logon users, no DPAPI, no admin at runtime: mint one synthetic
"offline-marker" SID per sandbox home and scope the persistent WFP block filter to
THAT SID only. Network is then gated purely by the restricted token's SID set:
- deny (offline): token = write-capability SIDs + offline-marker SID -> block filter
  matches -> no network; writes jailed by the capability SIDs.
- allow (online, approved): token = write-capability SIDs only -> filter never
  matches -> network reaches out; writes jailed identically.

The setup marker becomes mode-AGNOSTIC: it fingerprints the provisioned offline
infrastructure (NetworkInfraHash + OfflineFilterSID), not the per-command mode, so
one setup validly serves both an allow and a deny command. Schema bumped 3->4
(forces a clean re-setup; old markers scoped the filter to write SIDs).

- windows_runner.go: Offline SID in WindowsCapabilitySIDs (schema 2, back-compat
  upgrade) + WindowsOfflineMarkerSID + windowsRuntimeTokenSIDs.
- windows_network.go: BuildWindowsNetworkInfraPlan + WindowsNetworkInfraHash; drop
  the now-dead mode-coupled BuildWindowsNetworkPlan/*Hash helpers.
- windows_setup.go: marker schema 4; validation drops per-command-mode equality.
- windows_setup_windows.go: setup always installs the offline-scoped infra filter.
- windows_command_runner_windows.go: compose the token SID set per network mode.

Cross-platform core fully tested (mode selector, mode-independent infra+hash,
back-compat SID upgrade, one-marker-validates-both-modes regression, schema-3
rejected); sandbox/doctor suites + windows cross-compile green. The WFP
ALE_USER_ID/restricting-SID behavior needs the gated Windows integration smoke test.

* docs(sandbox): note the Schannel HTTPS limitation under the Windows restricted token

Document the known SEC_E_NO_CREDENTIALS limitation at the token-composition site:
an approved online command reaches the network, but HTTPS via Windows Schannel
fails inside the restricted token because Schannel can't acquire its per-user TLS
credential under a WRITE_RESTRICTED/LUA token. Fundamental restricted-token ↔
Schannel incompatibility, unsolved even in the reference sandboxes (codex#17459).
Workarounds: degraded mode or the in-process web_fetch tool. Comment-only.

* docs(sandbox): keep the Schannel-limitation note vendor-neutral

Vasanth T ffaa3a9a48 fix(sandbox): stop bricking Windows when the sandbox isn't set up (degrade like Linux/macOS) (#295)
* fix(sandbox): degrade Windows to permission-gating when not set up (stop bricking)

On Windows the sandbox command runner hard-fails EVERY command until a one-time
elevated `zero sandbox setup` writes the setup marker — so a fresh Windows user
can't run a single shell command (the "windows sandbox is not initialized" error).
Linux/macOS already degrade when their sandbox is unavailable; Windows was the
lone outlier that bricks itself.

BuildExecutionRequest now, on Windows when the setup marker is missing:
- default (auto): DEGRADE to EnforcementDegraded — the command runs unwrapped
  under the in-process policy gate (workspace path-confinement) + per-command
  approval, with a one-time downgrade notice pointing at `zero sandbox setup`
  for full WFP/ACL/network isolation.
- `--sandbox require`: still hard-errors with a clear setup hint, so strict
  callers keep their guarantee.
- marker present: unchanged (native, wrapped, fully sandboxed).

Matches every reference agent (codex defaults its Windows sandbox off and runs
under approval; opencode/openclaude/vix degrade on Windows) — none brick the CLI
because a setup step hasn't run. Test covers all three paths; sandbox/doctor/cli
suites green; vet/build clean.

* fix(sandbox): don't auto-allow shell commands while Windows is degraded

Follow-up to the degrade fix in this PR. The permission engine's shellSandboxActive
keyed on backend *capabilities* (CommandWrapping && NativeIsolation), which stay
true on Windows even when setup hasn't run. So once the degrade fix let commands
RUN unwrapped, the engine still auto-allowed ordinary shell commands as if
sandboxed — running them with no OS isolation AND no permission prompt, breaking
the per-command-approval floor the degrade is supposed to keep (the function's own
doc comment promises "ordinary shell auto-allow never runs an unsandboxed
command").

shellSandboxActive now returns false on Windows when the sandbox isn't initialized
(mirrors manager.BuildExecutionRequest), so a degraded shell command falls through
to the normal approval prompt. Network/destructive/out-of-workspace checks already
ran earlier and are unaffected; native (post-setup) still auto-allows.

Regression test covers degraded->prompt and native->auto-allow. Sandbox suite green.

KRATOS b46e952282 fix(sandbox): let macOS sandbox run Homebrew/usr-local tools (node, python3) (#296)
A scoped (workspace-enforced) exec gave commands a minimal PATH and restricted
reads, so a Homebrew python3/node either resolved to the broken /usr/bin/python3
stub or could not start. Four coordinated allowances on macOS:

- PATH: prepend /opt/homebrew/{bin,sbin} + /usr/local/{bin,sbin} (ensureMacToolPaths).
- read: broaden platform read roots from .../lib to the whole /opt/homebrew and
  /usr/local trees so the interpreter and its Cellar/opt dylibs are readable.
- file-map-executable: add /opt/homebrew and /usr/local so those dylibs can load.
- file-read-metadata on path-ancestors of /opt/homebrew and /usr/local: realpath()
  / getcwd() lstat every ancestor (e.g. /opt), which the subpath read rule does not
  cover — without it python3 fails at startup with 'realpath: /opt/homebrew/bin/:
  Operation not permitted' while node (exec only) works. Root cause confirmed by
  reproducing under the real profile via sandbox-exec.

Writes stay confined to the workspace; exec was already allowed (allow process*).
Binding a listening socket (e.g. python3 -m http.server) remains blocked by the
network policy (deny network*) — that is a separate gate. Local build for manual
verification.

KRATOS 3c2cd1d491 fix(sandbox): stop the interactive guard from blocking 'node --version' & friends (#294)
DetectInteractiveCommand treated node/python/ruby/... as interactive REPLs unless
an argument was a script file or one of a small allow-list of eval/print flags. So
'node --version' (and -v, --check, --help; 'python3 --version', etc.) — all
print-and-exit, non-interactive — were wrongly blocked before execution with
"Blocked interactive command 'node': node with no script".

Add universal print-and-exit flags (--version/--help) that suppress the guard for
every repl program, plus node's unambiguous short forms (-v, --check, -h). Kept
conservative: --version/--help only universally (e.g. 'mysql -v' is *verbose*, not
version, so it still opens a prompt — covered by a new test). Bare 'node'/'python'
still blocked.

Tests: the exact 'node --version && npm --version' is now allowed; mysql -v stays
blocked.

Vasanth T 990e3c439b fix(sandbox): self-dispatch the Windows sandbox helpers so they work in dev (#280)
Zero already had a complete Windows sandbox (restricted token + workspace ACLs + WFP network filters), but it was unreachable in dev and plain go build: the backend was only selected when the standalone helper exes were found adjacent to the binary or on PATH (release layout only), so every bash command hard-failed with 'Windows sandbox command runner is not available'. Add self-dispatch: the running zero binary acts as its own helper via two hidden subcommands, with three-tier discovery (adjacent exe, PATH, then self-dispatch via os.Executable) mirroring the Linux fallback. Also surface the elevation requirement for 'zero sandbox setup' (WFP/ACL need Administrator) instead of a raw ACCESS_DENIED. Tests cover the three discovery tiers, dispatch routing, and the unavailable edge.
