Walkthrough

This change adds repository-aware permission rendering, Claude repository-boundary hooks, Codex workspace profiles, credential deny rules, Docker-based clean-machine tests, lifecycle fixes, CI wiring, and documentation updates.

Changes

Repository-scoped permissions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Permission contracts and workspace roots
manifests/inventory/agent-permissions.json, scripts/harnesses/permission-workspace-roots.mjs, scripts/cli/permissions-render.mjs, scripts/harnesses/codex/index.mjs, scripts/build/render-agent-permissions.mjs
Permission rules now use repository boundaries, credential denies, and configured workspace roots.
Provider rendering and Claude hooks
scripts/harnesses/permissions-render.mjs, globals/harnesses/claude/..., scripts/harnesses/claude/index.mjs, scripts/harnesses/gemini/policy-toml.mjs
Codex emits named workspace profiles. Claude renders core hooks and enforces repository-family reads with checkout-local writes. Gemini skips unsupported repository-scope rules.
CLI integration
scripts/cli/config-mutate.mjs, scripts/cli/permissions-render.mjs, scripts/cli/update-report.mjs, scripts/cli/hook-composition.mjs
Configuration updates pass the working directory into permission rendering and refresh live artifacts after successful updates.
Docker sandbox infrastructure
scripts/test/lib/docker-sandbox.mjs, package.json, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Shared Docker execution supports package packing, isolated no-network runs, timeouts, cleanup, local skips, and strict Ubuntu CI execution.
Clean-machine and permission validation
scripts/test/clean-machine-install-sandbox.mjs, scripts/test/clean-machine-permissions-sandbox.mjs, scripts/test/*check.mjs, scripts/install/uninstall-lib.sh
Sandbox tests validate installation, permission projection, hook wiring, repository scopes, credential rules, and package removal.
Documentation and plans
docs/internal/..., docs/user/reference/..., docs/plans/..., local/skills/..., globals/packages/...
Documentation records Docker sandbox procedures, provider permission behavior, repository boundaries, validation results, and remaining work.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3ea9d

The PR changes repository-scoped permissions and adds validation/install tooling, but the current head still leaves required validation scripts unregistered, causing CI readiness failure, and contains bounded permission and path-containment mismatches that can change prompting behavior or permit unsafe file handling. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

existing clean-machine permissions sandbox to invoke
test:clean-machine-install-sandbox, and set ROBOREPO_CLEAN_MACHINE_STRICT to "1"
for that step.

In `@docs/internal/harnesses-explained.md`:
- Around line 175-177: Update the Codex example in the harness documentation to
reflect the renderer’s current output, including default_permissions set to
roborepo-workspace, the permissions.roborepo-workspace.workspace_roots section,
and network settings at the profile level; alternatively, explicitly label the
existing example as legacy.

In `@docs/plans/active/agent-config-repo-scoped-write-permissions.md`:
- Around line 47-50: Update the permission guarantees in the plan to avoid
claiming that all credential material is unreadable everywhere; scope the
statement to credential patterns covered by the verified read-secrets denylist
and rendered permission rules, or mark the broader guarantee as pending live
enforcement verification.
- Around line 466-468: Resolve the .env.example permission decision in the plan
by aligning the read-secrets description, manifest, and rendered rule for the
//**/.env.* pattern. Explicitly state whether .env.example is readable or
denied, and document the corresponding behavior covered by tests.

In `@docs/user/reference/config-control-panel.md`:
- Around line 243-259: Qualify the repository-zone table and its accompanying
read/write behavior as Claude-specific, since Codex does not restrict reads
outside the repository family. Update the surrounding wording to clearly
distinguish Claude’s permissions from Codex’s roborepo-workspace write profile
without changing the documented permission behavior.

In `@manifests/inventory/agent-permissions.json`:
- Around line 49-51: Update the tools list in the write-scope configuration to
include Write alongside Edit, ensuring Write operations in /tmp use the intended
unprompted temporary-directory permission.

In `@scripts/cli/hook-composition.mjs`:
- Around line 68-70: Update the symbolic-link handling in the destination
validation logic to resolve the complete symlink chain with
fs.realpathSync(destDir) before checking containment against resolvedRepoRoot.
Replace the immediate readlink target comparison while preserving the existing
repository-root equality and descendant checks.

In `@scripts/test/lib/docker-sandbox.mjs`:
- Around line 67-70: Update runDockerScript timeout handling to capture the
Docker container ID and explicitly terminate or force-remove the container when
the timeout callback runs, in addition to killing the local docker run process.
Ensure cleanup uses the recorded container identifier and preserves the existing
timeout behavior.

In `@scripts/test/permission-rule-home-path-check.mjs`:
- Around line 32-40: Update the generated Claude allow-rule check in the
settings parsing loop to detect home-relative paths when they appear inside rule

~/. Reuse HOME_TILDE or an equivalent boundary-aware match while preserving
offender reporting for each matching rule.

Run the clean-machine install sandbox in CI.

This step runs only test:clean-machine-permissions-sandbox. No shown runner invokes test:clean-machine-install-sandbox.

The current doctor job fails because it detects an uninvoked file in scripts/test/. Add the install sandbox to this Linux-only CI section and set ROBOREPO_CLEAN_MACHINE_STRICT: "1" for it.

- Codex expresses them as TOML session defaults (`approval_policy`, `default_permissions`, a named
permission profile, workspace roots, and network setting) _plus_ a separate binary
(`forbidden`/`allow`-only) command-policy rules file — no native `ask` tier at the rules layer.

- No contributor's absolute home path in any tracked permission rule, including generated artifacts.
Secret denies stay home-relative with Claude's `~/...` anchor.
- Credential material unreadable everywhere, including inside the current repository.
- Reads quiet across the repository family; writes still bounded to the checkout in use.

Limit the credential guarantee to the verified denylist.

read-secrets is an enumerated denylist, and Lines 269-271 state that it cannot cover unknown-sensitive files. Lines 433-434 also state that live blocking has not been observed. Replace “Credential material unreadable everywhere” with a known-pattern and rendered-rule guarantee, or keep the stronger goal pending until live enforcement is verified.

- Should `.env.example` be readable? `//**/.env.*` denies it today, and deny has no in-session
override. It carries no secrets by convention, but carving out a pattern near credential material
invites a near-miss (`.env.example.local`) that a looser glob would let through.

Resolve the .env.example permission decision.

The repository zone is **wider for reads than for writes**, deliberately:

| | Reads | Writes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The checkout in use | quiet | quiet |
| Its primary checkout and sibling worktrees | quiet | **prompt** |
| Anywhere else | prompt | prompt |

Comparing a branch against `main` from a worktree is routine and harmless, so reads span the whole
repository family. Writing across checkouts is how one session clobbers another's in-flight work,
and it is rare — isolation is the reason to create a worktree — so writes stay bounded to the
checkout in use and prompt otherwise.

On Claude the family is read straight from git's own pointer files (`.git`, `commondir`,
`.git/worktrees/*/gitdir`), costing ~15ms rather than a `git` subprocess. Codex expresses the write
half through a `roborepo-workspace` permission profile, including this repo's derived worktree root
from `docs/plans/plans-config.json`, and does not restrict reads at all.

Add Write to write-scope.

Line 50 allows only Edit. A Write call in /tmp does not match this scope and falls back to the repository-boundary prompt. This conflicts with the stated unprompted temporary-directory write behavior.

🌐 Web query:

Node.js fs.copyFileSync symlink behavior follows symbolic links fs.rmSync path symlink directory documentation

💡 Result:

In Node.js, the behavior of file system operations regarding symbolic links is as follows: fs.copyFileSync The fs.copyFileSync function follows symbolic links by default [1]. If the source (src) is a symbolic link, the target file it points to is copied rather than the link itself [1]. If the destination (dest) is a symbolic link, the file it points to is overwritten [1]. fs.rmSync The fs.rmSync function is designed to remove files or directories. Regarding symbolic links, fs.rmSync removes the symbolic link itself rather than the target it points to [2]. Recent updates have improved the consistency of this behavior: - Historically, issues existed where fs.rmSync would fail to remove broken symbolic links because it incorrectly followed them and subsequently returned a not_found error [3][4]. - As of recent versions (via changes in late 2025/early 2026), fs.rmSync has been updated to use symlink_status to ensure it operates on the symbolic link entry itself, even if the link is broken [3][4]. - If a path provided to fs.rmSync is a symbolic link, the link is removed without affecting the target it refers to [2]. If the path is a file or directory that is not a symbolic link, the file or directory is deleted [2].

Citations:


Resolve the complete symlink chain before the containment check.

If destDir points to an intermediate symlink outside resolvedRepoRoot, the immediate-target comparison returns false. fs.copyFileSync and fs.rmSync then follow the parent symlink chain and can modify repository files. Compare fs.realpathSync(destDir) with resolvedRepoRoot before returning.

Docker CLI docker run --rm behavior when the client process is killed while the container is still running; authoritative Docker documentation

💡 Result:

When you run a container using docker run --rm, the removal of the container is managed by the Docker CLI client [1][2]. If the client process (the docker run command) is killed or loses its connection to the Docker daemon before the container finishes its execution, the automatic removal process will not occur, and the container will continue to run in the background as an "orphaned" container [1][3][2]. This occurs because the --rm functionality relies on the client successfully receiving an exit notification from the daemon and subsequently issuing the command to remove the container [1][2]. If the client dies abruptly (e.g., via SIGKILL or a lost network connection), it cannot complete this cleanup sequence [1][4]. The Docker daemon does not inherently monitor the liveness of the client process to trigger container termination or removal when that client disconnects [5][2]. While modern versions of Docker have improved by moving some --rm logic to the daemon side for specific scenarios (particularly when combined with the --detach flag) [6][7], the fundamental behavior remains that docker run (foreground) is tied to the client process's lifecycle [1][2]. If the client is forcefully terminated, the container is effectively left in its last state [8][4]. To ensure containers are cleaned up in automated environments where the client might be killed, it is standard practice to use tools that manage container lifecycles (like docker stop or dedicated orchestration systems) rather than relying solely on the client-side --rm flag [1][5].

Citations:


Terminate the Docker container after a timeout.

runDockerScript kills only the local docker run --rm process. If the container is still running, --rm does not remove it after the client is killed. Record the container ID and run docker kill or docker rm --force during timeout cleanup.

Reject home-relative generated allow rules.

HOME_TILDE only matches ~/ at the start of the string. Generated Claude rules wrap paths, so Read(~/projects/**) passes Line 40 without an offender. This leaves the guard unable to detect a home-relative allow rule.

Proposed fix
-const HOME_TILDE = /^~\//;
+const HOME_TILDE = /(?:^|\()~\//;
...
-  if (HOME_PATH.test(rule)) offenders.push(`generated/claude/settings.json: allow ${rule}`);
+  if (HOME_PATH.test(rule) || HOME_TILDE.test(rule)) {
+    offenders.push(`generated/claude/settings.json: allow ${rule}`);
+  }
...
+assert.ok(HOME_TILDE.test("Read(~/projects/**)"), "must match a home-relative generated rule");
