Let cline's local endpoint be a host the operator allowlisted

The base_url check accepted only a literal loopback or RFC 1918 address. A
model server on someone's own network normally has a name, so that refused
the ordinary case of the thing this harness was added for - being pointed at
an open-weight model you serve yourself.

A name now qualifies when the operator has allowlisted it, through
dejima-allow --project or --global, read through approved_entries so it is
the same store, validator and answer bin/dejima uses when it builds the
container's allowlist. That ties acceptance to a grant the operator made
deliberately rather than to how the URL is spelled, and an endpoint failing
the check is one the session could not have connected to anyway.

Worth being clear about what the check was never doing. dejima writes a
placeholder into providers.json on this path whatever the endpoint is, so no
real credential enters the container either way - R5 holds by construction
here, not by this test. What the check decides is whether the configuration
can WORK: an endpoint needing a key would get the placeholder and fail, and
saying so at launch beats an auth error three layers down.

A literal address still qualifies on its own, and the octet comparison stays
numeric, so 10.example.com is still a name rather than the network it looks
like.

+## Sign in on the host first
+
+**Install your harness on the host and authenticate it there before running
+dejima.** This is a prerequisite rather than a convenience, and nothing
+enforces it.
+
+dejima never signs in to anything. The credential proxy's whole design is
+that the credential stays on the host and the container gets a placeholder:
+a host-side process holds the real token, injects it per request, and owns
+the refresh. That only works if the host has a credential to hold. On a
+machine where the harness has never run and never logged in, there is
+nothing for the proxy to hold, so the proxy does not start and no credential
+is mounted.
+
+What that looks like is worth knowing, because it does not look like a
+missing prerequisite. `dejima` starts normally, the container comes up, the
+firewall self-checks pass - and then the session cannot reach the model.
+Authenticating from inside is not the fix: the container is where the
+credential deliberately never goes, and the egress allowlist is not built
+around completing a sign-in flow there.
+
+The same applies to the account state your harness keeps alongside the
+credential, which is read fresh from the host at every launch (see
+"Throwaway ~/.claude.json" in [docs/security.md](docs/security.md)). A host
+that has never run the harness has none of it.
+
+So: run your harness once on the host, sign in, confirm it answers, and then
+point dejima at a project. When a credential expires, refresh it the same
+way - on the host, not in a session.

+#   staged config - copied, root-owned, read-only. The session cannot write it
+#                   at all, which is the point for anything that RUNS.
+#   seeded state  - copied, owned by the session, WRITABLE. The session may
+#                   rewrite it freely, and nothing it writes reaches the host,
+#                   because the host's copy was only ever read.
+#
+# The third exists because a harness keeps bookkeeping it must be able to
+# update mid-session - a plugin registry, a catalogue, an install marker - and
+# mounting that read-only does not protect anything. The host's copy is not
+# what a session could subvert; the host's copy is what the operator's own
+# runs produce. What mounting it read-only actually did was break the harness,

+### 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).
+
+`[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.

-| **R2** | **Tool-call interception.** A supported mechanism to inspect a command before it runs and refuse it, without patching the harness. | The push guard, the merge guard and the dangerous-command denylist all live here. They are guards against an eager agent rather than a boundary against a hostile one, but a harness without them ships three protections short and the operator cannot add them back. |
 | **R3** | **Host-controlled context at session start.** A way to place text into the session's context at start, from a file the operator controls and the session cannot rewrite for the run in progress. | How the briefing and the project's `.dejima.md` arrive. It is also how the agent learns it is sandboxed, which is what makes it ask for a domain instead of working around the firewall. |
 | **R4** | **State dejima can locate or discard.** Per-project state must be computable on the host before launch, so it can be scoped per project - or safely discardable, so it can stay container-local. | #104. A store that is neither computable nor discardable cannot be scoped, and mounting it whole reintroduces cross-project context poisoning. |
 | **R5** | **A withholdable credential.** The model credential must live somewhere dejima can decline to mount, and the harness must accept a substitute: a staged fake, or an environment variable pointed at the host-side proxy. | The credential never entering the container is a headline property, not a nicety. |

 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).

-hooks. There is no supported point at which a command can be inspected and

+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 because **no Cline compaction has been observed**. It has
+a `--compaction agentic|basic|off` flag, so summaries presumably exist in some
+form, but what one looks like in a `.messages.json` has not been seen - and a
+guess would produce a store that either silently keeps nothing or keeps the
+wrong record under dejima's promise that the artefact is what the session
+wrote. The hook is simply not defined, which `dejima-epitaph` treats as
+"nothing was kept" rather than as an error. Whoever sees a real compaction
+first should write it down.

A harness doing neither still gets it through the hook.

 ### Testing a new harness
 
+**Every supported harness is a dependency of this project**, declared in

+integrating rather than reason about it. A harness dejima claims to support
+and cannot exercise here is one whose guards are asserted rather than
+observed - and an untested guard is worse than a declared-absent one,

+
+`claude-code` is no exception to that: it is declared by its own manifest and

+harness's - not its package, not the directories it keeps state in, not its
+environment, and not its name as a default command. What is left on the
+harness axis is the credential proxy, which is Claude Code's shape throughout

The base image carries no harness: the selected one installs into a layer of its own on top of it, keyed on its name, so switching `[core] harness` switches images rather than accumulating every harness into the one every project shares. Empty means "already present", which is only true of something the base image installs for another reason. |
+| `image_dirs` | `?list:homepath` | (empty) | Directories this harness needs inside the sandbox user's home, created 0700 and owned by them in its own image layer. They exist because only enumerated paths *inside* them are mounted from the host, and Docker creates a mount's missing parent root-owned - which would leave the session unable to write the state it keeps beside them. Relative to `$HOME`; a leading `/` or a `..` is refused, since both reach a `mkdir -p` running as root at build time. |
+| `image_files` | `?list:homepath` | (empty) | Files this harness needs to exist in the sandbox user's home, created empty at 0600 in its own image layer. For a harness that reads a credential from a fixed path: an absent file and an empty one are not reliably the same to it. Created in the image rather than at container start, so whatever the credential transport mounts at that path simply shadows it. |
+| `image_env` | `?list:envpair` | (empty) | `NAME=VALUE` pairs set in this harness's image layer, for anything it wants in the environment of every session of its own. Deliberately narrow - no whitespace, nothing shell-active - because each becomes an `ENV` line in a generated Dockerfile. |
 | `command` | `identifier` | `claude` | The container's main process for this harness, and the name the wrapper shadows on `PATH`. `[core] command` defaults to it. |
 | `command_path` | `?path` | (empty) | Where the real binary lives, behind the shadow. |
+| `api_domains` | `?list:hostname` | (empty) | Hostnames this harness's own machinery must reach - its update host, its telemetry endpoint. They join the *fixed* allowlist rather than the extra one, which `dns-proxy.sh` exempts from stop-dns-rebind and `init-firewall.sh` treats as non-fatal when it fails to resolve. |
+| `proxied_api_domain` | `?hostname` | (empty) | The model API endpoint the credential proxy stands in front of. Allowlisted **only when the proxy is off**: with it on, the session reaches the API through the forwarder, so leaving the name unresolvable defeats a bypass that looks it up by DNS. Which name it is comes from here; when to allowlist it is dejima's rule. |
 | `guards` | `?list:identifier` | (empty) | Which of dejima's guard rails this harness can host: `bash-deny`, `push-guard`, `merge-guard`, `notify`. A name outside that set is refused rather than treated as an unknown guard, since a typo would otherwise turn a guard off silently. The ones a harness does not declare are named at launch - see "What a harness must be able to do" in [development.md](development.md). |
+| `briefing_args` | `?args` | (empty) | The flag that carries the briefing to a harness taking it on the command line - for Claude Code, `--append-system-prompt`. `dejima-harness-wrapper` reads the rendered briefing and passes it as a single value, so every invocation carries it and not only the entrypoint's. Set, the session-start hook stops carrying the briefing and reduces to the session id, which is the one thing that does not exist until the harness starts. |
+| `briefing_path` | `?homepath` | (empty) | Where this harness reads its briefing from, relative to `$HOME`, for a harness that has no session-start hook to be handed it through. Set, `entrypoint.sh` renders the briefing into that path root-owned and read-only before the session starts, and refuses to start it at all if that fails. Empty for a harness that registers a hook instead, which is how Claude Code gets it. |
 | `no_confirm_args` | `?template` | (empty) | The flags that make the harness run without confirming each tool call. Required in practice: dejima refuses to launch a harness that names none, because unattended operation is the premise the container is built on (R1 in [development.md](development.md)). |
 | `settings_args` | `?template` | (empty) | How this harness is told to read dejima's own settings layer, mounted at `/etc/dejima-settings.json`. Empty for a harness that takes its overrides some other way. |
 | `keys` | `?list:keyspec` | (empty) | This harness's own `[harness.<name>]` config schema - same grammar as a forge's `keys`. |

+| `resume_command` | `?template` | (empty) | Prose template (may use `{{session_id}}`) shown at the end of the briefing for resuming this exact session on the host.

+| `transcript_update` | `enum:append\|rewrite` | `append` | How this harness's transcript files change, which decides how they can be read incrementally. `append` means the file only grows, one record per line, so the conversation shipper reads forward from a byte offset and consumes only whole lines. `rewrite` means the file is replaced wholesale, where an offset would land in the middle of a document - it is re-read when it changes and the records already shipped are skipped by count. Declared rather than sniffed, because append semantics against a rewritten file ship garbage. |

+known until the container is actually running.
+
+### 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.

+### 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.

+## What none of this closes
+
+- Allowing egress to a domain at all creates a channel for exfiltrating data
+  through *that service's own request surface* (query strings, lookups,
+  etc.), not just to a literal attacker-controlled destination. Domain-level
+  allowlisting closes off reaching somewhere new; it can't inspect or
+  restrict what gets sent to somewhere already trusted for normal operation
+  (installing packages, calling the model API). That's a structural limit of
+  allowlist-only firewalls in general, not something specific to this setup,
+  and nothing here addresses it.
+- This is container-level isolation (Linux namespaces plus a small
+  capability set), not VM-level isolation - no gVisor/Firecracker or
+  similar. It shares the host kernel, so a container-escape vulnerability
+  would defeat every other control described here at once. What such an
+  escape then reaches is a layer dejima cannot bound, because dejima runs
+  inside it:
+  [dejima-devbox-hardener](https://gitbox.branderson.io/dejima/dejima-devbox-hardener)
+  is the project for that, and [threat-model.md](threat-model.md) has the
+  row-by-row account of where each layer's compromise stops.
+- Most of what this document asserts is re-checked by the `test/` suite on
+  every change, and `runtime.bats` asserts against a real running container
+  rather than a mock: IPv6 blocked, a non-allowlisted domain refused and a
+  non-allowlisted destination unreachable, `node` unable to re-run
+  `init-firewall.sh`, no working `sudo`. Coverage is not completeness: the
+  reasoning here is judgement, nothing tests it, and a property nobody wrote
+  a test for can regress quietly. A missing `ipset` dedup flag broke firewall
+  startup twice before anyone caught it; there is a test for that now, which
+  is the pattern to expect - each of these exists because something was got
+  wrong first.

+
+**And none of it has been reviewed by anyone else.** This is early
+development: the reasoning here is one person's, the tests assert what that
+person thought to check, and no outside audit or adversarial testing has
+happened. Read what follows as claims awaiting scrutiny rather than claims
+that have survived it. See [SECURITY.md](../SECURITY.md).
+
+What dejima defends, what it does not, and where its boundary passes out of
+its hands. [security.md](security.md) is the control-by-control account; this
+is the shape of the thing those controls are arranged against.
+
+## What this tool assumes
+
+**The agent is hostile, or will be.** Not badly behaved: captured, mid-session,
+without announcing it. Every control here is placed as though the thing inside
+the container is already working against the operator, because a control that
+only holds while the agent cooperates is not a control.
+
+**Nobody is watching.** Unsupervised operation is the design point rather than
+a degraded mode. A protection that depends on an operator reading output as it
+scrolls past does not count, which is why the exit-time audit is a report that
+survives to the next launch and not a warning printed once.
+
+**The project is one you already trust.** dejima bounds what a compromised
+session reaches. It does not make it safe to point an agent at arbitrary
+adversarial input, and pointing it at a repository you would not run on your
+own machine is outside what this reasoning covers.
+
+**The container is the boundary.** The hooks are not, the briefing is not, and
+`.dejima.md` is not. Those three shape what a cooperating agent does; the
+container is what holds when one stops cooperating.
+
+## The adversary
+
+Two of them, and conflating them is how a control ends up in the wrong place.
+
+**An agent doing what it was asked, too literally.** No attacker anywhere in
+this. It force-pushes, it rewrites history to make a test pass, it merges its
+own pull request because that was the obvious next step. Common, costly, and
+the only adversary here that responds to being told not to.
+
+**A prompt injection or a poisoned dependency.** Text in a web page, an issue
+body, a README or a dependency's own documentation, or code that runs during
+an ordinary build: an npm `postinstall`, a transitive update from yesterday.
+Neither was written for this machine. The injection waits for whichever agent
+reads it; the package targets whoever installs it. This one does not respond
+to instructions, because it arrives as instructions.
+
+## Ranked by what is actually likely
+
+1. **An agent destroying something nobody meant it to.** Needs no attacker,
+   happens during ordinary use, and is the one every operator meets first.
+2. **A session reaching something it should not on the network.** It runs
+   dependencies, build scripts and fetched content. None of that needs an
+   exploit to attempt a connection.
+3. **Push access becoming code execution elsewhere.** A session opens a pull
+   request, CI fires, and the runner executes that commit before anyone reads
+   it. No operator action anywhere in the chain. See [ci.md](ci.md).
+4. **Cross-project context poisoning.** A session writes another project's
+   agent memory or transcripts, and a later session there reads planted text
+   as established background.
+5. **Container escape.** Real, and it recurs, but it needs an unpatched host
+   or a working zero-day, and the two rows it moves between are both already
+   in the table below.
+
+The ordering is the point. Nothing above the last item requires an exploit.
+
+## Blast radius by layer
+
+Read the last two columns together: the middle one is what the layer reaches
+if nothing is arranged against it, the last is what remains once something is.
+
+| Layer | Reached by | Radius without | Bounded by | Radius with |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Agent, not yet hostile | ordinary operation | the workspace, its history, every mounted path, and the forge, at full speed | the session briefing and `.dejima.md`; the `PreToolUse` hooks | obvious destruction and out-of-remote pushes fail fast, and merging stays a human decision |
+| Container | ordinary operation | the operator's home directory, every credential in it, and the open internet | dejima | the workspace, allowlisted domains, and the forge token's scope |
+| Devbox VM, unprivileged | container escape | everything the account can read, and unrestricted egress to the internet and the LAN | `dejima-devbox-hardener` | the same VM, with LAN reach cut to what is declared; internet egress stays open, deliberately |
+| Devbox VM, root | escape plus local escalation, or misconfiguration | the whole VM, the same egress, and the model API credential | `dejima-devbox-hardener`, enforced outside the guest | the whole VM and no further: root cannot reach the rule set that holds the LAN boundary |
+| CI, confined job | a session opening a pull request | code execution on the runner, its network position, and the token the forge injects into every job | `dejima-ci-hardener`, confined tier | the allowlist, and nothing else on the LAN |
+| CI, confined job escaped | an escape from a confined job | root on the runner VM | the hypervisor firewall and a scheduled rollback | the privileged tier's position: the allowlist is gone, the LAN is not, and the loss expires |
+| CI, privileged job | `runs-on:` asking for it | root on the runner VM, by design and without any exploit | the same two controls, both external to the VM | the VM and its network position, until the next rebuild |
+
+Four things are worth reading twice.
+
+**The first row is the only one whose control is advice.** Hooks and context
+tell an agent what not to do, and an agent that has stopped cooperating
+ignores them. They are there because the likeliest adversary is the one that
+listens, not because they would stop the one that does not.
+
+**Two rows are reached with no exploit at all.** The container, because that
+is where every session already is, and the privileged CI job, because holding
+the Docker socket is the grant that tier exists to give. Neither is a failure
+state; both are ordinary operation, which is what makes the row below each of
+them worth arranging.
+
+**Escape moves a layer, it does not leave the table.** A confined job that
+escapes arrives where a privileged job sits by design, and the two controls
+holding that position hold it identically however it was reached.
+
+**The last three rows are bounded in time as well as in reach**, because the
+runner VM is rebuilt from a snapshot on a schedule. That is a property no
+in-guest control can offer, since root in the guest can flush any rule set it
+can see.
+
+## Where dejima's boundary ends
+
+dejima runs inside the machine it is protecting the rest of, which is the
+whole reason there are two other repositories. It cannot bound its own host's
+network position, and it cannot bound a runner it never touches.
+
+**[dejima-devbox-hardener](https://gitbox.branderson.io/dejima/dejima-devbox-hardener)**
+covers the two VM rows: what an escape spreads to, rather than whether it can
+talk. Its
+[threat model](https://gitbox.branderson.io/dejima/dejima-devbox-hardener/src/branch/main/docs/threat-model.md#blast-radius-by-layer)
+is explicit that it does not narrow internet egress back down, and says why.
+
+**[dejima-ci-hardener](https://gitbox.branderson.io/dejima/dejima-ci-hardener)**
+covers the three CI rows, on the premise that CI executes attacker-controlled
+code on every pull request deliberately, because that is what CI is for.
+Nothing there tries to stop the code running. Its
+[threat model](https://gitbox.branderson.io/dejima/dejima-ci-hardener/src/branch/main/docs/threat-model.md#blast-radius-by-layer)
+has the two tiers and where each one's boundary sits.
+
+Neither is required to run dejima, and the container row holds without them.
+What they change is what the row below it costs.
+
+## What this repository does not claim
+
+- **That the egress allowlist bounds what reaches the model.** It bounds what
+  the container can connect to. A harness tool executed outside the container
+  - Claude Code's `WebSearch` is the one confirmed by observation - puts text
+  from any site into the session without the allowlist seeing the name, and
+  sends a session-controlled query out to a third party. It rides the model
+  API connection, so it crosses dejima's own credential proxy rather than
+  going somewhere unseen, but nothing inspects it. Which of a harness's tools
+  fetch from the container and which do not is a per-harness question, and
+  belongs in that harness's assessment.
+  [security.md](security.md#the-firewall-bounds-the-container-not-the-harness)
+  has the evidence.
+- **That escape is impossible.** It is a row in the table with controls of its
+  own, not an outcome that has been designed away.
+- **That the hooks stop a hostile agent.** They stop an unlucky one.
+- **That a finding from the exit-time audit was caused by the session.** It
+  reports that a surface changed while the session ran. A concurrent session
+  or the operator's own editing lands in the same diff.
+- **That the allowlist bounds exfiltration once a session has push access.**
+  A commit is an outbound channel to a host that is on the list by definition.
+  See [ci.md](ci.md).
+- **That any of this has been reviewed.** Stated at the top, repeated here
+  because it is the claim that qualifies all the others.
