Merge branch 'forge-disclosure' into forge-maturity-doc

The tests that run install-forge-bins.sh took the machine's word for
whether a declared system: command exists. Inside a dejima container gh
does, on the CI runner it does not, so every one of these passed here
and failed there.

Two of the five expected a nonzero exit, which is worse than the one
that failed: they would have passed on the runner for entirely the
wrong reason. Both now check what the failure actually says.

The stub names come from the manifests rather than a list here, so a
forge declaring another one later needs no change to this.

+# The bullet about deletion is measured too, and names branch deletion rather

+# fetches remote branches; the same squash-merge with the branch deleted first
+# leaves none. Squashing is what an operator notices; deleting the branch is

+This project keeps its history as usable evidence of how the work was done
+(it declares .dejima/corpus). That puts one requirement on how you commit:
+
+- Give every plan step that changes a file its own commit, and say so in the
+  step. Not one commit at the end covering five steps.
+- A step that only reads files or runs tests needs no commit. This is about
+  steps that write, not ceremony.
+- Do not squash a task's step commits together before committing them. What
+  happens at merge time is survivable: a clone fetches remote branches, so a
+  squash-merge still leaves the step commits reachable through the branch ref.
+  What does not survive is the branch being DELETED afterwards, which removes
+  the last thing pointing at them. Several forges offer that as a
+  merge-time default. If this one does, say so rather than assuming the record
+  is safe, because everything above can be done perfectly and still yield
+  nothing.
+
+The reason is that a step is only legible later if the file's state before it
+and after it can both be read back from history: before from the commit's
+parent, after from the commit. When one commit carries several steps that
+touch the same file, no step in it can be isolated any more, and reconstructing

+# and a placeholder key, and dejima's in-container terminator and host-side
+# proxy supply the real credential, exactly as they do for Claude Code. The
+# credential never enters the container.
+#
+# A base_url means a self-hosted endpoint, and it has to be one reachable
+# without a credential - the Docker host, or something on the sandbox's own
+# network. That restriction is R5 and not a network one: a hosted provider
+# would need an API key inside the container, and dejima has no proxy that
+# could hold one back on its behalf. An endpoint that needs no key has nothing
+# to withhold, which is why an open-weight model served locally is supported
+# today and api.openai.com is not.
+#
+# Two ways an endpoint qualifies, and neither is about the URL's syntax.
+#
+# A literal loopback or RFC 1918 address is host-local by construction. The
+# octets are compared as numbers rather than matched as text - `10.*` would
+# accept the hostname 10.example.com as readily as the network - and a dotted
+# quad is never written into this file, because that is how an operator's real
+# LAN address leaks into a public repo.
+#
+# A NAME qualifies when the operator has already allowlisted it, through
+# `dejima-allow --project` or `--global`. That is the same set that decides
+# what the container can reach at all, so an endpoint failing this check is
+# one the session could not have connected to anyway. Requiring a literal
+# address instead was too strict by half: a model server on someone's own
+# network normally has a name, and refusing it made the local-endpoint path -
+# the reason this harness is provider-agnostic at all - unusable for the
+# ordinary case.
+#
+# What neither branch is doing is protecting the model credential. dejima
+# writes a placeholder into providers.json on this path whatever the endpoint
+# is, so no real credential enters the container either way. What this decides
+# is whether the configuration can WORK: an endpoint that needs a key would
+# get the placeholder and fail, and saying so at launch beats an auth error
+# three layers down. Pointing it somewhere is the operator's call, bounded by

+commit per task, and explaining why. Absent or unapproved, nothing is added
+and nothing changes, which is the default for every project that has not asked
+for it.
+
+It goes through approval despite granting no capability, and that is
+deliberate. `.dejima/` lives in the workspace, which is session-writable, so a
+session able to turn this on by writing a file would be writing the *next*
+session's system prompt. `bin/dejima` reads the approval store and never a
+project's declarations - a static test holds that it does not so much as name

+**Check the forge's merge policy before relying on this.** The briefing tells

+afterwards removes the last thing pointing at them. Several forges offer
+"delete branch on merge" and some default it on. Measured both ways on a
+throwaway repository: squash-merge with the branch retained left every step
+commit reachable in a fresh clone; the same merge with the branch deleted first
+left none.
+
+So a project can adopt the rule, write every plan correctly, and still yield
+nothing, with no error anywhere - a squash-merged `main` looks perfectly
+healthy. dejima's own history is intact because it merges with merge commits.
+
+The reason is recoverability rather than tidiness. A step is only legible
+afterwards if the file's state immediately before it and immediately after it
+can both be read back from history: before from the commit's parent, after
+from the commit. One commit carrying several steps that touch the same file
+destroys that, because no step in it can be isolated any more, and
+reconstructing one would mean building a file state the repository never held.
+Nothing recovers that later, so it has to be recorded while the work happens.
+
+It lives in the project rather than in `~/.config/dejima/config` because it is
+a fact about the repository. Anyone who clones it and runs dejima gets the same
+commit discipline, which is what makes the history uniformly usable: a rule
+half the contributors follow produces a history nothing can be taken from.
+
+What dejima does not do is say what the history is *for*. Collecting it, and
+deciding whether to, is the operator's business; the briefing states the rule

+### Cline
+
+Almost nothing carries over, and that is the design rather than a gap.
+
+Cline keeps one `sessions.db` indexing every session it has ever run, with
+the project a session belonged to as a field inside the record rather than a
+directory above it. There is no per-project slice of your `~/.cline/data` to
+mount, so mounting it at all would put every project's transcripts into every
+session. dejima instead gives each workspace its own Cline data directory
+under `[harness.cline] state_dir` (default `~/.local/share/dejima/cline`),
+mounted at `~/.cline/data` in the container. Sessions persist across runs of
+the same project and are invisible to every other project.
+
+Because that directory is dejima's rather than yours, resuming on the host
+needs `CLINE_DATA_DIR` set to it. The exact command is at the end of every
+session's briefing.
+
+The provider configuration is written fresh by dejima at each launch and is
+not yours either. Two shapes are supported:
+
+- **`base_url` unset** - Anthropic, reached through dejima's own credential
+  proxy exactly as Claude Code is. What is written into the container is the
+  placeholder `sandbox-credential-proxy-placeholder`; the real credential
+  stays on the host.
+- **`base_url` set to a model you serve yourself** - either a loopback or
+  RFC 1918 address, or a host you have allowlisted with `dejima-allow`.
+  Nothing needs a credential, so there is nothing to withhold.
+
+A name qualifies through the allowlist rather than through how it is spelled,
+because that is the same store deciding whether the container can reach the
+endpoint at all: one that fails the check is one the session could not have
+connected to anyway. A model server on your own network normally has a name,
+so requiring a literal address would have made this path unusable for the
+ordinary case.
+
+Anything else is refused at launch - a hosted provider's API key would have to
+go inside the container, and dejima has no proxy that could hold one back on
+its behalf. Note what the check is *not* doing: dejima writes a placeholder
+into the container on this path whatever the endpoint is, so no real
+credential enters it either way. What the check decides is whether the
+configuration can work at all, which is worth saying at launch rather than as
+an auth error three layers down. See
+[development.md](development.md#worked-example-cline).
+
+If the endpoint serves a model Cline has no catalogue entry for - which is every
+model you serve yourself - Cline has no context budget for it either, and will
+grow the conversation until the *server* rejects it rather than compacting:
+
+```
+rpc error: ... request (16465 tokens) exceeds the available context size (16384 tokens)
+```
+
+Set `[harness.cline] context_window` to stop that. With it, Cline compacts
+before it reaches the limit instead of overflowing.
+
+Set it a little **under** whatever the server allows. Cline's accounting is
+approximate, and a compaction does not always land under target when a single
+tool result is large, so a value equal to the server's limit still overflows
+occasionally. There is no default: the right number belongs to the model being
+served, and a wrong one is worse than none - too high changes nothing, too low
+compacts constantly.
+
+`[harness.cline] model` has no default and must be set. Any model id shipped
+here would go stale with the next Cline release, and choosing the model an
+unattended agent runs on is yours to make.
+
+Cline's CLI needs a CPU with AVX2. It is a Bun-embedded compiled binary and
+Bun's default build requires it, so a VM whose CPU model is `x86-64-v2-AES`
+gets SIGILL before printing anything. `x86-64-v3` or better works.

-### Worked example: why aider is not supported
+### Worked example: aider, and what moving R2 changed
 
 aider clears R1 (`--yes-always`), R3 (`--read` places a file in context),
 R4 (its state is `.aider.*` inside the workspace, which is already mounted)
 and R5 (it takes an API key from the environment).
 
-It fails **R2**. aider has no hook or event system; the only occurrence of
-"hook" in its options is `--no-verify`, which controls git's own pre-commit
-hooks. There is no supported point at which a command can be inspected and
-refused, so `git-push-guard.sh`, `merge-guard.sh` and
-`deny-dangerous-bash.sh` have nowhere to live and no equivalent to be
-rebuilt from. It also fails D1.
+It was declined on R2, which it fails outright: aider has no hook or event
+system, and the only occurrence of "hook" in its options is `--no-verify`,
+which controls git's own pre-commit hooks. There is no point at which a
+command can be inspected and refused.
 
-The container would still bound an aider session. But three guards an
-operator gets everywhere else would be missing with no way to restore them,
-and "supported" would mean something different for that one harness than
-for every other. So it is not supported, and this is the reason.
+That is still true, and it no longer decides the question. The push guard and
+the merge guard reach aider through the PATH shadows like any other harness,
+so what it actually loses is `deny-dangerous-bash.sh` - one fast-fail guard,
+declared absent and named at launch. It also fails D2, so remote-access
+notifications would not fire.
+
+So aider is now supportable at a smaller guard set, honestly declared. It is
+not supported, because nobody has written the plugin and the tests - which is
+the real gate, and always was.
+
+One thing to settle first if that changes. R4 passes trivially because aider's
+state is `.aider.*` **inside the workspace** - and the workspace is the real
+project, bind-mounted read-write. `.aider.chat.history.md` is a transcript of
+prompts and model responses that, by aider's own documentation, can carry
+secrets from terminal output. aider ships a `.gitignore` entry for it, but a
+project that predates the entry, or has its own ignore file, gets a
+secrets-bearing file written into the checkout: it outlives the container,
+reaches the host, and shows up in the exit audit as a workspace change.
+
+So aider's plugin should move that file out of the workspace rather than rely
+on a `.gitignore` the project may not have - the same reasoning that keeps
+every other harness's state out of the project, arrived at from the opposite
+direction. That is what `image_dirs` and the state mounts are for.
+
+### Worked example: Cline
+
+Cline is provider-agnostic, which is what a second harness most needs to be:
+it can be pointed at any endpoint, including an open-weight model served
+locally. That is not a claim from its documentation - it was run here against
+a purpose-written OpenAI-compatible endpoint on loopback, which it used for
+every request and whose tool call it then executed.
+
+It needs AVX2, which is worth knowing before an integration begins: its CLI is
+a Bun-embedded compiled binary and Bun's default build requires it. A VM whose
+CPU model is `x86-64-v2-AES` - Proxmox's default for new guests - gets SIGILL
+and exit 132 before any output, and no baseline build is published. `x86-64-v3`
+or better is the requirement.
+
+| | Verified |
+| --- | --- |
+| **R1** | **Yes, by running it.** `--auto-approve` defaults to true; a one-shot prompt executed a shell tool call with no prompting and exited 0. |
+| **D1** *(was R2)* | **Fails as a CLI, and this no longer decides it.** Its plugin hooks - `beforeTool`, `afterTool`, `beforeRun` and the rest - are documented as observation only: "Use lifecycle hooks for observation (logging, metrics, auditing), not for modifying agent behavior." Nothing documents a return value that refuses a call, and eight attempted hook registrations produced no refusal. Auto-approve is positive-only categories with no denylist, no per-command rule and no pattern that can refuse a shell command. The binary does carry `preToolUse`, `permissionDecision` and `allow`/`deny`/`block`/`ask`, so a refusal path exists somewhere in the codebase - but undocumented is not the same as supported. Declared absent, and named at launch. |
+| **R3** | **Yes, by running it, and the documentation is wrong about how.** A rules file at `~/Documents/Cline/Rules/00-dejima.md` reached the model: asked for a codeword only that file contained, the session answered with it. `~/.agents/AGENTS.md` works too. `~/Cline/Rules`, which the documentation names, is **not** read on Linux, and `CLINE_RULES` pointing at a file did nothing. So the briefing is a file rather than a hook, which is what `briefing_path` in the manifest is for. |
+| **Network reach** | **In the container, unlike Claude Code's.** Not a requirement, but the thing [security.md](security.md#the-firewall-bounds-the-container-not-the-harness) says has to be established per harness rather than assumed. Asked to fetch a page the allowlist does not carry, Cline's web-fetch tool ran and returned "Unable to connect" - the same answer `curl` gives. So the egress allowlist bounds what reaches a Cline session, which is not true of Claude Code's `WebSearch`. |
+| **R4** | **Yes, by running it, and this is where Cline is strongest.** `--data-dir` relocates the whole store - `db/`, `settings/`, `logs/`, `cache/`. A full run against a chosen directory put everything there and left nothing in the default location. There are per-path environment variables too: `CLINE_DATA_DIR`, `CLINE_DB_DATA_DIR`, `CLINE_SESSION_DATA_DIR`, `CLINE_TEAM_DATA_DIR`, `CLINE_PROVIDER_SETTINGS_PATH`, `CLINE_HOOKS_LOG_PATH`. Per-project scoping is a flag rather than an inference. |
+| **R5** | **Yes, and confirmed end to end.** Credentials are a plain file, `settings/providers.json`, whose path `CLINE_PROVIDER_SETTINGS_PATH` relocates - so dejima can decline to mount the operator's. The substitute is the one that already exists: Cline configured for `anthropic` with the placeholder key `sandbox-credential-proxy-placeholder`, pointed at the real hostname, ran a real completion through dejima's in-container terminator and host-side proxy. No base-URL override and no new proxy work - the same arrangement as Claude Code's faked `.credentials.json`, and the session is indistinguishable from a stock install. |

+Two notes for whoever writes the integration. Cline's plugin manifest schema
+still carries a field described as "not read by Claude Code", so its plugin
+format is derived from Claude Code's, which is the reason to expect the
+existing `hooks/*.sh` to port rather than be rewritten if a refusal path does
+turn up. And
+`CLINE_SANDBOX=1` turns on an inner sandbox that relocates state under a
+`cline-sandbox` directory; like Claude Code's, it is redundant inside this
+container and wants turning off.
+
+There is a refusal point, but it is in the SDK rather than the CLI.
+`ClineCore.create()` takes a `requestToolApproval` capability - it receives
+`{toolName, input}` before the tool runs, returns `{approved: false}` to
+refuse, and the agent is told and moves on. Using it would mean dejima wrote
+and maintained a host program embedding Cline, making the container's main
+process dejima's own JavaScript rather than `cline`. That is a different shape
+from every other harness, and it is not necessary: with the push and merge
+guards on PATH, what the CLI costs is `deny-dangerous-bash.sh` alone.
+
+So Cline clears the four hard requirements, at a guard set short one fast-fail
+denylist - declared in its manifest and named at every launch.
+
+**It is now supported**, in `harnesses/cline/` and `bin/harness/cline.sh`.
+Three things the integration settled that the assessment had not.
+
+*Where its state goes is not a choice.* R4 reads as Cline's strongest
+requirement and it is, but not because `--data-dir` is convenient. Cline
+indexes every session it has ever run in one `sessions.db`, and the project a
+session belonged to is a field inside the record rather than a directory above
+it. There is no per-project subtree to mount, so mounting the operator's data
+directory would put every project's transcripts into every session - #104
+exactly. dejima gives each workspace its own data directory under
+`[harness.cline] state_dir`, the way `epitaph.dir` and `audit.dir` already
+work. That is also why its resume command has to name a directory, and why
+that command lives in the harness's briefing fragment rather than in
+`resume_command`: briefing substitution is one pass, so a placeholder inside
+a substituted value is never resolved.
+
+*Provider-agnostic is not the same as endpoint-agnostic.* Cline can be pointed
+anywhere; dejima cannot follow it everywhere. With `base_url` unset it runs
+against Anthropic through dejima's own credential proxy and the key never
+enters the container. Pointed at someone else's hosted API there is no proxy
+that could hold a key back, so the key would have to go in - which is R5
+failing, not a network restriction. The plugin therefore accepts `base_url`
+only for a model the operator serves themselves - a loopback or RFC 1918
+address, or a host they have allowlisted - where an open-weight model needs no
+credential at all and R5 has nothing to protect. The allowlist is what
+qualifies a name, because it is the same store deciding what the container can
+reach: an endpoint failing the check is one the session could not have
+connected to anyway, and a model server on someone's own network normally has
+a name rather than a literal address. A provider-generic proxy would widen
+this to hosted providers; nobody has written one (#171).
+
+*Conversation logging works; epitaphs do not, and only one of those is
+Cline's fault.* Cline's transcripts are
+`<data>/sessions/<id>/<id>.messages.json` - one JSON document rewritten in
+place, not appended lines, and already per-project because the data directory
+is. Nothing about that fitted the two tools, which found transcripts by asking
+for a `projects_dir` key and walking `<dir>/<slug>/*.jsonl`; both now ask the
+harness instead, and the shipper knows the two update models rather than
+assuming the appending one. Its content blocks turn out to be Claude Code's
+shape (`text`, `tool_use` with id/name/input, `tool_result`), so the transform
+differs only in the envelope, and the same policy holds: prompts, assistant
+text and tool invocations, never tool results.
+
+Epitaphs stay absent, and now for a settled reason rather than an unexamined
+one. Cline's compaction has been observed, against a locally served model with
+the context window set small enough to force it: four completed
+`auto_compaction` cycles, each dropping the working context from five messages
+to three.
+
+**The persisted record was untouched by every one of them.** All five file
+reads remained in `.messages.json` in full, tool results included, at close to
+twenty kilobytes apiece - the same content the compaction had just removed from
+what was being sent to the model. There is no summary record, no marker, and no
+gap.
+
+So compaction here is a working-context operation and nothing more. Epitaphs
+exist because Claude Code's compaction *destroys* context that survives only as
+the summary written into its transcript; the container goes away and the
+summary is the only remaining account. Cline destroys nothing on disk, so there
+is nothing for an epitaph to preserve, and `harness_extract_epitaphs` stays
+undefined because that is the right answer rather than a missing piece.
+
+Worth knowing if this is revisited: the summary Cline builds during compaction
+is real but lives only in the event stream, as `auto_compaction` notices
+carrying token counts. A run with too small a budget reports
+`compaction_budget_emergency` and falls back from `agentic_summary` to plain
+trimming. Neither path writes anything to the session record.
 
 ### Where a harness's support lives: three tiers
 
@@ -341,15 +485,18 @@ harness-specific path resolving to nothing is the honest answer.
 | Credentials | the whole proxy exists because Claude Code authenticates from `~/.claude/.credentials.json` rather than an env var; the entrypoint seeds a well-formed fake so it has something to read | `bin/dejima-anthropic-proxy`, `docker/anthropic-proxy-forwarder.js`, `docker/entrypoint.sh` |
 | Hook protocol | the event payload arrives on stdin; `SessionStart` returns `hookSpecificOutput.hookEventName`/`additionalContext` as JSON, while a `PreToolUse` hook blocks by exiting 2 with its reason on stderr | `hooks/*.sh` |
 | Hook registration | four hooks written into `~/.claude/settings.json` in Claude Code's schema, one `SessionStart` with a `startup\|resume\|clear\|compact` matcher and three `PreToolUse` matching `Bash`. In the plugin, gated per declared guard | `bin/harness/claude-code.sh` |
-| Briefing delivery | the briefing and the project's `.dejima.md` reach the session *through* the `SessionStart` hook. No hooks, no briefing | `hooks/sandbox-context.sh` |
+| Briefing delivery | **by which of three routes**, not whether. Claude Code takes the briefing as a system prompt, through the flag its manifest names in `briefing_args`, because a `SessionStart` payload past roughly nine kilobytes is persisted and replaced with a preview - so the hook route silently under-delivered a briefing carrying a project's `.dejima.md`. Cline takes no such flag and registers no hook, so it declares a `briefing_path` and reads a file `entrypoint.sh` writes root-owned and read-only. A harness doing neither still gets it through the hook. What the briefing *says* is none of theirs: composing it host-side is core's, and the container-side part - this container's id, the declared-versus-installed gap, the project's `.dejima.md` - is one script every route calls | `hooks/dejima-briefing-render.sh`, `hooks/sandbox-context.sh`, `docker/entrypoint.sh` |
 | Notifications | `Notification`/`Stop` hooks, registered per session into the settings layer, are what drop the markers remote access watches | `hooks/dejima-notify.sh`, `bin/dejima` |
 | Config parity | which directories carry over and at what mode. Declared by the plugin, since `docker-compose.yml` is static YAML and could only name one harness's | `bin/harness/claude-code.sh` |
+| Seeded state | which of the harness's own state it must be able to REWRITE, carried in as a writable copy owned by the session. Declared by the plugin through `emit_seed_from` and `emit_seed_dir`; the seed tree mirrors the destination, like staged config, so `entrypoint.sh` names no harness's paths. The distinction from the other two is what a session may do to it, and mounting the wrong thing read-only breaks a harness rather than protecting anything - see the plugin tree | `bin/harness/<name>.sh`, `docker/entrypoint.sh` |

 | App state | `~/.claude.json` is copied rather than mounted, because it mixes live state with `mcpServers` config | `bin/dejima` |
 | State layout | the project key - cwd with every non-alphanumeric replaced by `-` - is Claude Code's scheme, and dejima reproduces it in four places | `bin/dejima-slug-lib.sh`, `bin/dejima-project-lib.sh`, `docker/log-shipper.sh` |

-| Transcript format | the transform from transcript lines to log lines. In the plugin; the shipping, batching and Loki labels stay core's | `bin/harness/claude-code.sh` |
-| Compaction format | what a compaction looks like in a transcript. In the plugin; the store, its modes and the provenance note stay core's | `bin/harness/claude-code.sh` |
+| Transcript discovery | where this workspace's transcripts are, what they are called and how they are nested. `harness_transcript_files` in the plugin, answering one `<key>\t<path>` line per file; core takes the key as the store it files under and refuses one that is not a slug this workspace owns. Both `dejima-epitaph` and `dejima-conversation-ship` used to carry Claude Code's layout directly | `bin/harness/<name>.sh`, `bin/dejima-epitaph`, `bin/dejima-conversation-ship` |
+| Transcript update model | whether a transcript is appended to or replaced wholesale. The manifest's `transcript_update`; the shipper implements both and neither is guessed | `harnesses/<name>/harness.conf` |
+| Transcript format | the transform from transcript bytes to log lines. In the plugin; the discovery, shipping, batching and Loki labels stay core's | `bin/harness/<name>.sh` |
+| Compaction format | what a compaction looks like in a transcript, given one file at a time. In the plugin; the store, which keys are legitimate, its modes and the provenance note stay core's | `bin/harness/<name>.sh` |
 | Audit surfaces | `.claude/settings.json` is CRITICAL and the rest of `.claude/` is a WARNING, because that is where this harness keeps things that run | `bin/dejima-audit` |
 | Host code execution | `statusline.sh` is audited as its own CRITICAL surface because `settings.json`'s `statusLine.command` runs it **unsandboxed on the host**. Declared by the plugin, since a finding's label is a parser's grammar rather than data | `bin/harness/claude-code.sh` |

+
+### How the briefing reaches the session
+
+**A session-start hook is a size-limited channel, which is why it is no longer
+the only route.** Claude Code persists a large `SessionStart` payload to a file
+and injects a short preview in its place: measured in a dejima container, 9KB
+arrived whole and 21KB did not. A composed briefing plus a project's own
+`.dejima.md` runs well past that, so most of the briefing silently never
+reached the session - the briefing failing in the quietest way available to it.
+A system prompt has no such limit, and unlike anything in the conversation it
+cannot be compacted away later either.
+
+So a harness may name a flag in `briefing_args`, and
+`dejima-harness-wrapper` passes the briefing with it on every invocation.
+`entrypoint.sh` renders the briefing before the session starts, which is what
+resolves `@@CONTAINER_ID@@` and appends the dependency report and `.dejima.md`;
+`hooks/dejima-briefing-render.sh` is that renderer, and `sandbox-context.sh`
+calls the same one.
+
+The hook still runs for a harness using `briefing_args`, carrying only
+`@@SESSION_ID@@`'s value - the harness has not started when the entrypoint
+runs, so the id does not exist yet. A harness declaring no `briefing_args` gets
+the whole briefing through the hook as before.
+
+Substitution is one pass over the assembled text, not a fixed point: a value
+that itself contains a `{{placeholder}}` leaves it unresolved and the whole
+composition is refused. That is why a harness whose resume command needs more
+than `{{session_id}}` puts the command in its fragment rather than in
+`resume_command`.
+
+A third route exists for a harness that neither registers a hook nor takes a
+flag: `briefing_path` names a file it reads, which `entrypoint.sh` writes from
+the same rendering, root-owned and read-only.

+### Harness integration maturity
+
+Both harnesses are supported, and supported means the same thing for each: a
+manifest, a plugin, tests, and the capability bar in
+[development.md](development.md) either met or declared unmet. It does not mean
+they have had the same amount of use, and the gap is wide enough to say so
+rather than let the word "supported" imply otherwise.
+
+**Claude Code is the harness dejima was built around.** Nearly every mechanism
+here - the credential proxy, the briefing, the per-project state mounts, the
+exit audit - was designed against it and generalised afterwards. It hosts all
+four guards. Its rough edges were found by running it for real work, over and
+over, which is a kind of coverage no test suite substitutes for.
+
+**Cline is new, and has barely been used.** Its integration was built
+deliberately and is tested, but a test only covers what someone thought to
+check. The first run against a live model immediately turned up a bug no test
+had: Cline silently discards a provider entry with no `updatedAt` and falls back
+to its own hosted endpoint, which presents as a connection failure to a host
+nobody configured. The first real session turned up a second, in a component
+Cline does not own at all - the conversation shipper passed its payload as a
+command-line argument, which Cline's larger tool results overflow. It hosts no
+guards, so every launch names what is not in force.
+
+Neither of those was a bad integration. That is the normal rate of discovery
+for something this new, and it is the reason to expect more.
+
+So: if you are choosing between them with no other reason to prefer one, choose
+`claude-code`. Choose `cline` for what it offers that the other does not - it
+can be pointed at any endpoint, including a model you serve yourself - and
+expect to be the person who finds the next crack.
+
+
+### Forge integration maturity
+
+The same caveat the harnesses get, for the same reason: two forges listed in
+one table invites the reading that each got the same consideration, and they
+did not.
+
+**gitea is the forge dejima is developed on.** Every PR in this repo was
+opened through it, every issue filed through it, and its three CLIs are
+dejima's own - which is why they do things `gh` does not, like showing only
+the review threads still outstanding. Its rough edges were found by using it.
+
+**GitHub has never been run end to end.** It was built from the manifest
+outward and tested at the config layer, and what that missed is instructive:
+`forge = github` could not start a container at all under `worktree-pr`, the
+only workflow that opens PRs, because the merge shadow had no `gh` to shadow.
+Ten tests exercised the forge and none of them reached the entrypoint. Fixing
+that immediately turned up a second thing, that `gh --repo owner/name pr merge
+N` walked straight past the merge block. Neither was a hard bug to find once
+anyone looked.
+
+Two known differences remain, both filed rather than fixed:
+
+- **Review feedback is thinner.** `gitea-pr comments` shows unresolved review
+  threads and hides the rest; GitHub does not expose thread resolution through
+  the REST API `gh` uses for this, so working through PR feedback there
+  re-reads threads already dealt with, with no signal that it is doing so.
+- **`gh --repo` reaches past the sandboxed repository.** The gitea CLIs refuse
+  an origin that is not on the configured host, so they can only act on the
+  repo the sandbox was launched against. `gh` takes `--repo` on nearly every
+  subcommand, and `forge = github` supplies a deliberately write-capable
+  token. A per-repository fine-grained PAT is the shape of `push_token_file`
+  that makes this moot.
+
+So: if you have a choice, `gitea` is the better-worn path. Choose `github`
+because that is where your repositories are, which is a good reason - and
+expect to be the person who finds the next crack.

 Pushing is opted into by naming both a pushing workflow and a forge that

+**A PR, issue or comment a session writes says an agent wrote it.** The body
+is prepended with a marker - "Summary generated by LLM agent" on a PR,
+"Filed by LLM agent" on an issue, "Comment by LLM agent" on a comment -
+before it reaches the forge. This happens in `docker/forge-guard.sh`, which
+shadows the forge's CLI on PATH, rather than in the CLIs themselves: dejima
+wrote two of the three and a marker living in the tools would mean the
+answer to "does dejima disclose this" depended on which forge an operator
+picked. It applies on edits as well as creates, because the marker describes
+where the text came from rather than the event that wrote it.
+
+Two things it does not cover. A command that sends no body has none added -
+`gh pr create --fill` takes its body from commit messages, and inventing one
+would be worse than leaving it. And running a forge CLI on the host, outside
+a sandbox, marks nothing: there the person running it wrote the body.

 **Selecting `forge = github` is a real posture change, not just a config
 choice.** It opens `ssh.github.com:22` for push - the read-only GitHub access
 every session gets regardless (clone, fetch, `gh` API calls over port 443)

+### The firewall bounds the container, not the harness
+
+Everything above is about what the *container* can connect to. A harness may
+also offer the session a tool whose network request does not come from the
+container at all, and the allowlist has no view of those.
+
+Claude Code's `WebSearch` is the instance to reason from. Observed in one
+session, in this container:
+
+```
+$ curl https://aider.chat/docs/config/options.html
+curl: (6) Could not resolve host: aider.chat
+```
+
+and in the same session, `WebSearch` returned that page's content. The
+retrieval did not use the container's network, because the container has no
+route to that host. The only channel into a session that is not the
+container's own network is the model API connection - which dejima already
+routes through the host-side credential proxy - so the search ran on the API
+side and its result arrived in the model's response.
+
+That cuts both ways, and neither is closed here:
+
+- **Inward.** Text from any site on the internet can enter the session without
+  the DNS allowlist seeing the name. The allowlist is described elsewhere in
+  this document as bounding where a prompt injection could fetch its next
+  instruction from; that is true of anything the container fetches, and not
+  true of this.
+- **Outward.** A search query is session-controlled text sent to a third
+  party. It is low bandwidth next to an HTTP body, but it is a channel out
+  that no `.dejima/allowed-domains` line was ever reviewed for.
+
+What this is not is unmonitored. The traffic rides the model API connection,
+which in the default configuration is exactly the connection dejima terminates
+in-container and forwards through its own host-side proxy - so it crosses a
+process the operator runs. dejima does not inspect what crosses it, and this
+document does not claim it does.
+
+The lever an operator has is the harness's own, not dejima's: Claude Code
+takes a `permissions.deny` entry for a tool name, and dejima already writes a
+settings overlay it could go in. It is not written there by default, because
+the tool is useful and the exposure is a search query rather than a file.
+
+**This is not a Claude Code quirk, it is a harness question**, and the second
+harness answers it the other way. Cline ships a web-fetch tool too, and it was
+put to the same test in the same container: asked to fetch that same
+`aider.chat` page, the tool ran and came back "Unable to connect", exactly as
+`curl` does. The fetch happens in the container, so the allowlist bounds it,
+and for Cline the paragraphs above simply do not apply.
+
+So which side a harness's network tools run on is a per-harness fact that has
+to be established by running them, not inferred from the tool having a similar
+name. It belongs in that harness's worked example in
+[development.md](development.md#adding-a-new-harness) alongside the rest of
+what it can and cannot do.

+  from any site into the session without the allowlist seeing the name, and
