kingwl 2530bf8aa3 fix(sandbox): address PR #309 review — TOCTOU direction, denial metadata, shared roots, docs
- fs-sandbox: delegate the mutation with the freshly re-canonicalized target
  (not the stale one), so the checked identity is the mutated identity — a
  symlink swapped in after resolve() can no longer escape workspace-write.
- tool-fs: map a denial to an FsError carrying FS_SANDBOX_DENIED (not a plain
  Error), so ToolRegistry keeps the structured code on result.error for
  retry/observers while the message stays the shared marker.
- sandbox-local: derive the Seatbelt writable set from the shared
  writableRoots() helper, so the profile and the fs fence cannot drift.
- gen-doc-graphs: ctx.sandboxPolicy is owned by dsh-sandbox-policy and read only
  by the sandboxed executor/provider (the tool layers use the pure fold).
- docs: bash-sandbox/bash/permission READMEs and bash.md reflect the relocated
  policy home and the sandbox/mode rename; drop the stale stdout.golden.jsonl.

# @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-sandbox
Sandbox-consuming implementation of the [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash`](../bash/) executor seam. Load it **instead of** `@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local`, together with a [`ctx.sandbox`](../../sandbox/sandbox/) provider (e.g. [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-local`](../../sandbox/sandbox-local/)) and a [`ctx.sandboxPolicy`](../../sandbox/sandbox-policy/) (which owns the default mode + workspace root, shared with the sandboxed filesystem) — no alternate tool plugin is needed; `dsh-tool-bash` detects the executor's `sandboxMode` capability and adds the escalation fields.
The package root exports the default and named `SandboxBashExecutor` plugin plus its `Config`; quoting and result-classification helpers stay internal.
Every command is confined by handing the provider the exact `['bash', '-c', command]` argv this executor is about to spawn and spawning the returned (wrapped) argv instead. WHICH platform runner confines it — and whether one is usable at all (fail closed with a structured `SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE` error, never a silent unconfined run) — is the provider's concern; this package owns the bash side only.
| Mode | File effects |
|---|---|
| `read-only` (default) | No writes anywhere (of `/dev`, only the `/dev/null` node is writable, so `>/dev/null` keeps working) |
| `workspace-write` | Writes only under `workspaceRoot` + `/tmp` (ephemeral under bwrap, the host `/tmp` under Landlock, `/private/tmp` plus the per-user temp dir under Seatbelt) |
| `danger-full-access` | No confinement; the provider is never consulted. Foreground results carry `sandbox: { mode, denied: false }`; background process handles carry no sandbox facts. |
Semantics:
- **Denials are result facts.** A failed run whose stderr carries the selected backend's own denial dialect — the signatures the provider stamps on every wrap (EROFS text under bwrap, EACCES under Landlock, EPERM under Seatbelt) — is reported as `BashRunResult.sandbox.denied: true` (conservative classification, read from the collected stderr tail); every CONFINED run also carries the mode it executed under (`result.sandbox.mode`) and the provider's enforcement completeness (`result.sandbox.enforcement`: `full`, or `partial` on an older Landlock ABI).
- **Runner failures are sandbox failures, never command failures.** Foreground execution throws `SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE`; a settled background process stamps `process.sandbox.runnerFailed`, which the bash producer renders through generic `task_output`. Spawn failures also pass through settlement, so confined background handles retain their mode/enforcement facts and release per-process accounting.
- **Deployment default, per-call policy.** The DEFAULT mode + workspace root are owned by [`ctx.sandboxPolicy`](../../sandbox/sandbox-policy/) (one home both enforcing families read), not this executor's config; `resolve()` stamps the default onto every spec, and an explicit request-level `sandboxMode` override — set by the tool layer only for a call whose wider mode a human granted through `ctx.approval` ([the sandbox Agent Note § Escalation](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-07-06-sandbox.md)) — makes THAT call run, classify, and report under its own mode while every neighbor keeps the default (background facts are stamped per task at settle). The capability fact `ctx.bash.sandboxMode` reports the configured default so the tool layer advertises escalation only when this executor is mounted. The model learns of the sandbox only through result facts — the static bash tool description explains the denial marker; there is no current-mode statement in the system prompt.
- **File effects only.** Network and process visibility are deliberately not restricted — the mode vocabulary does not pretend to cover what the backend does not enforce.
- Process mechanics (spawn, process-group kills, output collection/spill, background handles, credential scrub) are inherited from [`dsh-bash-local`](../bash-local/); runner selection lives in [`dsh-sandbox-local`](../../sandbox/sandbox-local/).
Deny-only at the seam: a denial is a reported fact, and this executor never negotiates permissions itself — the approval question lives in the tool layer (`dsh-tool-bash`), which drives the override this package honors.
```yaml
- id: sandbox
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-local'
- id: sandbox-policy
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-policy'
config:
mode: read-only
workspaceRoot: !!js process.cwd()
- id: bash
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-sandbox'
```
The keyless consumer-integration proofs are `tests/bwrap.e2e.ts`, `tests/landlock.e2e.ts`, and `tests/seatbelt.e2e.ts` (the real provider + real runner driven through `ctx.bash`, world-verified, each self-skipping where its runner is absent); see [the acp-agent example's default composition](../../../examples/acp-agent/) for the runnable demo.
## Model Experience
### Bash tool schema, indirectly
#### What the model sees
The generated [`dsh-tool-bash` schemas](../../../docs/tool-catalog.md#deepseek-aidsh-tool-bash) are the baseline. By advertising a confining `sandboxMode`, this backend augments `bash` with `sandbox_permissions` using enum `workspace-write` | `danger-full-access` and with `justification`. The backend adds no prompt prose, and the session's effective mode remains unstated.
#### Token effect
Small fixed schema increment on requests where `bash` is visible; mode switches add no context tokens.
#### KV Cache effect
Prefix-stable while the executor advertises the same sandbox capabilities. Changing those capabilities alters the `bash` schema and may invalidate reuse from that definition; per-session mode switches do not.
### Bash tool result, indirectly
#### What the model sees
After ordinary bounded output, a denied call appends exactly `[sandbox: file access denied under <mode> mode]`. When escalation is available it next appends `[sandbox: escalation available — retry this exact command once with sandbox_permissions (the narrowest wider mode that suffices) + justification; the approval prompt asks the user]`. A settled background runner failure instead appends `[sandbox: the sandbox runner itself failed under <mode> mode — the command did not run; this is a sandbox problem, not a command failure]`.
#### Token effect
Zero additional tokens on an unremarkable allowed run beyond ordinary output. Denial or failure adds the quoted conditional marker, retained until compaction.
#### KV Cache effect
Append-only; newly visible content follows the reusable request prefix and does not invalidate existing KV-cache entries.
### Bash tool error, indirectly
#### What the model sees
If no runner can enforce a confined mode, the foreground call propagates the [`SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE` error owned by `dsh-sandbox`](../../sandbox/sandbox/README.md#confinement-error-indirectly). For an execution-time runner failure, this backend supplies the first stderr line as its detail.
#### Token effect
Conditional error text is visible for that call and retained in history until compaction.
#### KV Cache effect
Append-only; newly visible content follows the reusable request prefix and does not invalidate existing KV-cache entries.
## Known Limitations and Deferred Work
- **Confinement covers file effects only** — network access and process visibility are unchanged, so the modes are not a general-purpose security sandbox.
- **Denials are inferred from failed-command stderr** — backend signatures make the inference portable, but a matching application error can be classified as a denial and a denial omitted from the retained tail can be missed.
- **A background runner failure has no immediate error channel** — it is recorded on the settled process and surfaces when the caller reads the generic task with `task_output`.
- **`danger-full-access` deliberately bypasses `ctx.sandbox`** — it is an explicit unconfined mode, not a wider sandbox profile.
