Summary

Problem

Until tinybox#23, pick_backend() always returned unsupported, so the shell sandbox ran every command unconfined. Enabling real confinement (tinybox#23's smoke test) broke everyday commands: cargo, rustc, node, npm (exit 126), mktemp (/tmp denied), /proc, and gitconfig symlink targets. Separately, local_status_for_backend treated only "noop" as Inactive, so the unsupported backend reported Ready: a caller trusting the status believed commands were jailed when they were not. execute_local_jail passed no grants beyond the root (read_only_mounts was always empty).

Solution

  • ops.rs: local_status_for_backend returns Inactive for noop and tinybox_jail::detect::UNSUPPORTED_BACKEND_NAME.
  • New config/schema/runtime_local_jail.rs: [runtime.local_jail] = toolchain_homes (default true), extra_read_only, extra_read_write (accept ~/), allow_proc (default false, documented: it exposes /proc/<pid>/environ and cmdline of every process the user owns).
  • New sandbox/grants.rs: builds the grant set, filtered through SecurityPolicy::is_always_forbidden after canonicalization (so a symlink into ~/.ssh is judged by its target), and also rejecting any grant that is a parent of a credential dir (~, /), since Landlock grants are recursive. /proc can only come from allow_proc, never from the extra_* lists. Present-only: ~/.cargo (rw); ~/.rustup, ~/.nvm, ~/.npm, /usr/local, /opt (ro); git config files (~/.gitconfig, XDG git/config, ignore) with symlinks and [include]/[includeIf] targets canonicalized (cycle- and depth-bounded).
  • SandboxPolicy gains read_write_mounts (serde default, so existing serialized policies still load); resolve_sandbox_policy fills both mount lists for the Local backend only.
  • execute_local_jail: grants the mounts, plus a per-call scratch dir <state_dir>/artifacts/sandbox-scratch/<uuid> exported as TMPDIR and removed on every exit path (capture dir and scratch share one CallDir guard).
  • Removed sandbox-landlock from core/embed/tinyhumans/cli, docs, and made tests/cwd_jail_e2e.rs Linux-gated with a skip when the kernel lacks Landlock. check-feature-forwarding.mjs passes; product-features never listed it.

Decisions worth review:

  • ~/.cargo is granted whole (rw) unless it contains credentials.toml/credentials. Landlock cannot exclude a subpath, and that file holds the crates.io token. In that case only bin (ro), registry/git (rw) and config.toml/config/env (ro) are granted.
  • ~/.npm is read-only as specified, so npm install cannot write its cache there; add it to extra_read_write if wanted.
  • Login profiles (~/.profile, ~/.bashrc) are not granted: they commonly export secrets. The shell runs as bash -lc, so a jailed call prints Permission denied for ~/.profile on the host process's stderr (not in the captured tool output). Left as is.
  • #6970's test that lists the capture root from inside the jail now grants that root read-only itself, because a real jail only gets the per-call dir.

Submission Checklist

  • Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case): status (unsupported/noop/real), grants (credential floor incl. symlink and parent grants, toolchain present/absent, /proc off/on/extras, cargo credentials, gitconfig symlink/include/cycles, ~ expansion), plus real Landlock runs
  • Diff coverage >= 80%: every new function is exercised by the new tests (not measured locally)
  • Coverage matrix updated: N/A: behaviour-only change
  • All affected feature IDs listed under ## Related: N/A
  • No new external network dependencies introduced
  • Manual smoke checklist updated: N/A (macOS Seatbelt runtime path not run on macOS hardware; see tinybox#23)
  • Linked issue referenced under ## Related

Impact

  • Linux with Landlock: the local sandbox now actually confines (host-wide behaviour change; tinybox#23 owns the backend). Without Landlock, status is now Inactive and commands still run through the no-op fallback exactly as before.
  • Removing the sandbox-landlock feature breaks any embedder that names it explicitly in features = [...]; it was a no-op alias once Landlock became default.
  • Security: a jailed command can now read /usr/local, /opt and the toolchain homes, and write ~/.cargo. Configurable via [runtime.local_jail].

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Local sandbox configurations can now grant selected filesystem paths read-only or read-write access, with safeguards for sensitive locations.
    • Local sandbox calls receive isolated temporary storage, which is cleaned up after each call.
    • Additional configuration options are now available through the public configuration interface.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Sandbox status now correctly reports inactive when the selected backend is unavailable or performs no isolation.
    • Linux sandbox checks now skip when the required backend is unavailable.

Add the tinybox library as a vendored dependency to support container management features in the project. This change introduces the external package directly into the vendor directory for consistent builds without requiring network access during compilation.

Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Introduce a new `[runtime.local_jail]` configuration section that allows specifying filesystem grants for the local OS jail runtime. This change adds the `LocalJailConfig` struct, registers the `runtime_local_jail` module, and includes the new field in `RuntimeConfig` with a default value, enabling users to configure sandboxed filesystem access for local execution.

The local jail backend now resolves toolchain and git grants from the runtime configuration, populating both read-only and read-write mounts in the sandbox policy. A per-call scratch directory is created and set as TMPDIR, giving compilers and package managers a private writable space that is cleaned up when the call ends. The unsupported backend is also treated as inactive, matching the noop backend's passthrough semantics.

…formatting

The `SandboxPolicy` struct now includes a `read_write_mounts` field, which is initialized as an empty vector in all test fixtures to maintain compatibility. Additionally, several files received formatting adjustments to align with Rust style conventions, including breaking long lines and restructuring control flow expressions for improved readability.

Updated test assertions in grants_tests.rs and ops_tests.rs to match the actual behavior of the sandbox grant and operation implementations, ensuring tests validate the correct conditions and expected outcomes.

Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
Add a suite of integration tests that exercise a real Landlock jail on Linux hosts, verifying that everyday commands like cargo and mktemp work correctly while writes outside the workspace root are blocked, /proc access is denied by default but can be enabled via configuration, and the user's ~/.ssh directory remains unreachable. Also include a test that confirms the sandbox handle status matches the backend actually in force.

Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The `local_handle_status_matches_the_backend_actually_in_force` test now only compiles on Unix platforms, since the sandbox backends it exercises are Unix-only. The `landlock_jail_cannot_read_the_users_ssh_directory` test is reformatted for readability without changing its logic.

…on on Linux

The `sandbox-landlock` Cargo feature flag is removed across all crates because Landlock is now compiled in unconditionally on Linux via `tinybox-jail`. The feature gate is replaced with a runtime kernel-capability check in the e2e tests, which skip when Landlock is not available rather than requiring a compile-time flag. Documentation and README files are updated to reflect the removal of the feature from feature lists.

Add documentation for the new `read_write_mounts` field in `SandboxPolicy` and describe how local jail grants are resolved from `grants::resolve_local_jail_grants` and `LocalJailConfig`, including the specific paths granted, credential store exclusions, and the private scratch directory. Also update the `RuntimeConfig` reference to include `[runtime.local_jail]`.

description

  • Conclusion: Success
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: This pull request adds a grant set for the local OS jail (Landlock/Seatbelt) so everyday commands work under real confinement, reports the unsupported backend as Inactive, and removes the now-unnecessary sandbox-landlock feature forwarding. The changes appear sound and well-tested; the only notable concern is a typo in a debug log message which does not affect correctness. _Code retrieval was unavailable (model: ladder embeddings returned 402 Payment Required: {"error":"Insufficient USD or Diem balance to complete request. Visit https://venice\.ai/settings/api to add credits."}), so this review saw the diff alone._ _Memory was unavailable (model: cortex: v1/recall: error sending request for url (http://cortexdb:3141/v1/recall\)\), so this review ran without it._

e2e

  • Conclusion: Neutral
  • Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
  • Lane summary: This pull request removes the feature-gated `sandbox-landlock` compilation flag and makes Landlock (and the `unsupported` backend name) always compiled in on Linux, wires the new `[runtime.local_jail]` config section into the sandbox grant computation, and adds a real Landlock-based e2e test suite in `tests/cwd_jail_e2e.rs`. The behavioural changes are properly covered by both new Rust unit tests and the updated Rust e2e tests — the `tests/cwd_jail_e2e.rs` file drives real jail enforcement on Linux and asserts confinement properties that match what the config schema and grant logic set up. No uncovered external surface was found. Waiting on end-to-end jobs: `Rust E2E (mock backend)`, `Build Playwright E2E Artifact`, `E2E (Playwright / web lane)`, `Desktop E2E (full suite, 3 OS)`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds runtime settings for local-jail filesystem grants, resolves those grants into sandbox policies, and gives each local jailed call a temporary scratch directory. It also removes the sandbox-landlock Cargo feature forwarding and updates Linux tests to check the active backend.

Changes

Local Jail Grants and Execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local-jail configuration
crates/openhuman-core/src/config/*
RuntimeConfig now includes LocalJailConfig. Its defaults enable toolchain-home grants, leave extra path lists empty, and disable /proc access.
Grant policy and resolution
crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/grants*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/types*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/mod.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/docker*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/schemas_tests.rs
SandboxPolicy adds read-write mounts. The grant resolver handles configured paths, standard toolchain and Cargo paths, Git config includes, credential exclusions, and optional /proc access. Tests cover grant resolution and policy fixtures.
Policy wiring and per-call execution
crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/ops*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/README.md
Local sandbox policies receive the resolved grants. Local jail execution creates separate capture and scratch directories, sets TMPDIR to the scratch directory, then removes it after reading output. The unsupported backend reports Inactive.

Landlock Feature Forwarding Removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature forwarding and Linux test gating
crates/openhuman-cli/Cargo.toml, crates/openhuman-core/Cargo.toml, crates/openhuman-core/README.md, crates/openhuman-embed/*, crates/openhuman-tinyhumans/Cargo.toml, docs/library-minimal-recipe.md, gitbooks/developing/embedding.md, tests/cwd_jail_e2e.rs, vendor/tinybox
Cargo manifests and feature lists no longer include sandbox-landlock. Linux end-to-end tests check whether Landlock is the default backend and skip otherwise. The vendor/tinybox subproject reference is updated.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf932

Under the new default grants, a sandboxed command can modify Cargo binaries or configuration that later run outside the sandbox with full user rights. This undermines the jail's confinement and should be fixed before merge. The jail tests can also report success on hosts without Landlock.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟠 High · up to bf932

The default policy lets jailed commands modify shared host Cargo binaries and configuration. Those changes can survive the call and affect later host commands. Existing credential checks and private scratch directories limit some exposure, but do not preserve host toolchain integrity. The change also improves unsupported-backend reporting; a larger exposure than the previously unconfined execution path has not been established.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: The new default real-jail grant contract permits persistent modification of shared host Cargo executables and configuration. A jailed command can poison state used by later host commands; per-call cleanup does not restore it. Existing credential files narrow the grant, but their absence enables the whole-directory writable grant. This is a control-contract concern; a net increase over the prior unconfined execution path remains unproven.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — For a command reaching default Local execution on an enforcing backend, an existing credential-free Cargo home becomes shared writable host state. The relevant scope extends beyond the call’s workspace to later calls and host commands using that account’s Cargo binaries or configuration. Root privilege, cross-tenant access, and propagation to other accounts are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The retained finding has a concrete persistence path: a command running under the local jail modifies ~/.cargo/bin or Cargo configuration through the whole-home writable grant; a later host command uses that modified state outside the original call’s confinement. No Cargo-state rollback is present. Existing credential files or disabling toolchain_homes remove this particular default whole-home grant. Prior unconfined execution could already permit the same outcome, so newly increased overall reachability remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Current credential-directory overlaps and symlink targets are filtered before grants enter policy. Conditional Linux tests cover workspace writes, rejection of an unrelated outside write, normal scratch cleanup, and default-denied versus enabled /proc access. They do not establish shared Cargo integrity or universal backend enforcement, and the inspected tests return early when Landlock is not active.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Per-call directory ownership does not cover persistent Cargo mutations. It also remains separate from the child held by the blocking wait task: cancellation can drop directory guards without proving execution has stopped. Credential files appearing after grant resolution are not revalidated by the application. These lifecycle limits matter to the confinement guarantee, although backend mutation semantics and added exposure under interruption remain unverified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep host Cargo binaries and configuration read-only regardless of credential-file presence. Route required mutable Cargo state to a jail-owned or isolated Cargo home rather than granting the entire shared host directory.
  • proposed — Offer an explicit require-confinement policy that rejects unavailable backends instead of taking the no-op fallback; keep any compatibility passthrough separately identifiable.
  • proposed — Tie call-directory ownership to process supervision through termination and reaping, including cancellation, and define recovery for orphaned scratch directories after interruption.

A rabbit checks the paths at night
Grants read-only, keeps secrets out of sight
A scratch den waits for each short call
Then vanishes when outputs fall
Landlock hops past feature gates
The rabbit nods, and safely waits

Review comments at @crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/grants.rs:
- Around line 174-183: Update add_cargo_home to use the same split for both
credential cases: grant registry and git read-write, and grant bin, config.toml,
config, and env read-only; remove the branch that grants all of ~/.cargo
read-write. Preserve the existing missing-directory behavior, and limit changes
to this grant logic.

Review comments at @tests/cwd_jail_e2e.rs:
- Line 60: Update both tests guarded by landlock_in_force() so unavailable
Landlock is reported as skipped rather than passing after an early return; use a
skip mechanism supported by the test runner or require Landlock in the relevant
CI job.

Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The previous policy granted the entire `~/.cargo` directory read-write unless credentials were detected, which could allow jailed commands to modify Cargo binaries and configuration. This change always grants only the necessary subpaths: `bin` and config files read-only, `registry` and `git` caches read-write. The root of `~/.cargo` is never writable, preventing jailed processes from persisting modifications that would affect host tools.
