From ad1036de6dc49263692337167dd2fe5a47842de5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Miller Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 06:00:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(groom): run the finder/verifier/builder agents inside the sandbox + key broker MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Wire the three groom agent phases onto the phase-1/2 confinement harness (`agent-sandbox.sh` + `broker.mjs` + `jail-shim.mjs`), moving the real ANTHROPIC_API_KEY out of every agent step and pruning the mitigations the jail now subsumes. This jail is the gate that had been blocking groom on untrusted-contributor repos. Per agent job (audit_find, audit_verify, each build matrix cell): - New "Start the key broker" step — the ONLY agent-facing step holding `secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. Starts `broker.mjs` on a host unix socket ($BROKER_SOCK), polls /healthz (fails after ~10s), records the pid for an always() cleanup step. - The agent step ("Run finder/verifier/builder") drops the key entirely and runs `agent-sandbox.sh` (clone `ro` for finder/verifier, `rw-git-ro` for the builder). A `bash -c` wrapper brings up the in-jail `jail-shim.mjs` TCP->UDS forwarder, then execs the pinned `claude` CLI with a DUMMY key and ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL pointed at the shim; the broker injects the real key. The exec JSON is captured by a host-side stdout redirect, out of the agent's reach. - Output files move under a single `GROOM_OUT_DIR` (/tmp/groom-out) — the jail's one rw `--out-dir`; briefs and the finding JSON stay at /tmp and are passed `--ro-file`. The verifier's finder-candidates download follows into GROOM_OUT_DIR. - Removed as subsumed: the `chmod -R a-w` clone/.git lock+unlock dance, the `env -u GITHUB_*`/RUNNER_TEMP prefix (--clearenv covers it), and the `rm -rf` diag pre-delete (host /tmp is a shadowed tmpfs inside the jail). - Kept as regression tripwires: the literal-key pre-publish scans (now their own finder/verifier steps holding the key with no agent present; the builder's stays in Capture patch), the type-guarded diag projection, and the CLI pin/flags. Adds a text-based regression guard (test_environment_binding.py) asserting the real key appears in no agent step and the agent step runs inside the sandbox with the dummy key, mirroring the existing bot-App-key boundary test. The wiring follows the canonical composition already proven by sandbox-tests.sh section 5 (broker on UDS + agent-sandbox --uds + in-jail jail-shim), not the earlier TCP-port design. --- .github/groom/README.md | 29 +- .../groom/tests/test_environment_binding.py | 73 +++ .github/workflows/groom.yml | 615 ++++++++++-------- 3 files changed, 443 insertions(+), 274 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/groom/README.md b/.github/groom/README.md index 42b23c4c..cb509669 100644 --- a/.github/groom/README.md +++ b/.github/groom/README.md @@ -660,10 +660,31 @@ python3 -m unittest discover -s .github/groom/tests -p 'test_*.py' -v ## The agent sandbox — `agent-sandbox.sh` + `broker.mjs` (BE-4302) -The auto-builder (phase 3) runs an untrusted agent that writes code.

(High) - The in-jail shim readiness loop now records a success flag and fails loud (to stderr) instead of falling through to `exec claude` against a dead ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL. Mirrors sandbox-tests.sh §5. All three agent legs. (Medium) - The verifier's finder-candidate input is downloaded to a bare /tmp path OUTSIDE $GROOM_OUT_DIR and handed in `--ro-file` ($FINDER_IN), so a prompt-injected verifier can no longer rewrite the candidates it adjudicates — mirrors the builder's $FINDING_IN and honours the read-only-input invariant. (Medium) - Capture patch guards against a symlink planted at $BUILDER_OUT/$PR_BODY_OUT on the one host-writable surface (defense-in-depth; allowedTools grant no symlink-creating tool today). (Low) - Broker-startup failure now surfaces the broker log (method+path+status only) so the diagnostic the message names is actually obtainable. All three legs.

A no-agent-budget setup failure (no bwrap / apt unavailable / userns blocked → preflight exit 1; usage error → die exit 2; in-jail shim never comes up → exit 1) therefore fails that step and is wrongly counted as a spent audit, suppressing grooming for a full interval. The `Start the key broker` step was split out for exactly this reason; the sandbox preflight was not. - agent-sandbox.sh: add `--preflight-only` (alias `--selftest`) — runs ONLY the mutating preflight() bring-up and exits 0/non-zero, taking no clone/out-dir/ command. preflight() is already idempotent, so the agent step's own preflight then hits its fast path (no side effects). - groom.yml: add a distinctly-named `Preflight the sandbox` step BEFORE the `Run ` step in audit_find, audit_verify and build. When it fails the job fails but `Run ` is never reached → the runs-jobs API reports it queued/skipped → interval.py reads it as unstarted → the cadence clock is NOT advanced. Only audit_find is cadence-gated; verifier/builder get the split for consistency with the broker precedent. - interval.py: `_AGENT_STEP_NAME` left unchanged. - tests: sandbox-tests.sh gains a `--preflight-only` case (exit 0 with no command/clone/out-dir; fail-loud with a stubbed failing bwrap); test_interval.py extends the audit_find structural pin (preflight step exists, precedes the agent step, name != agent_step_name()) and adds a run_audited case (queued/skipped agent step + completed/failure preflight step → not a spent audit). --- .github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh | 25 +++++++++++++- .github/groom/tests/sandbox-tests.sh | 31 +++++++++++++++++ .github/groom/tests/test_interval.py | 32 ++++++++++++++++++ .github/workflows/groom.yml | 50 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 4 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh b/.github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh index d5523c4d..77e43b79 100755 --- a/.github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh +++ b/.github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh @@ -21,11 +21,24 @@ # [--ro-file ...] [--env KEY=VALUE ...] [--uds ] \ # -- # +# agent-sandbox.sh --preflight-only # (alias: --selftest) +# # --uds bind-mounts a host-side listening unix socket (the broker) to the fixed # in-jail path /run/broker.sock (read-only: connect(2) to a socket works under a # read-only bind, but the jail can't chmod/replace the shared inode). # Omit it for a fully offline jail. # +# --preflight-only runs ONLY preflight() — the (mutating) sandbox bring-up +# (install bubblewrap, the AppArmor profile, the sysctl fallback) — then exits: +# 0 if a working bwrap sandbox is now usable, non-zero if it cannot be +# established.

Run from inside the billed "Run finder"/"Run verifier"/"Run builder" step, any of them dying leaves that step `failure` having billed nothing, which interval.py's exact-name match reads as a STARTED audit: run_audited then counts a spent audit and advances the GROOM_INTERVAL_DAYS cadence clock for a run that spent nothing. The most plausible live trigger is a broker that dies between its step and the agent step, leaving a stale socket that passes `-S` and fails healthz. Add `--validate-only`, which parses exactly like a real run and walks the IDENTICAL code path, branching at the single `exec` point rather than re-implementing the checks — so the guards inside the bwrap_args assembly are exercised too, which a parallel validator would silently skip. It refuses a `-- ` and refuses to be combined with `--preflight-only`, mirroring that flag's misuse-guard style, so a stray flag on a real agent step dies instead of exiting 0 having run no agent. All three groom agent jobs then run it in the existing, distinctly-named "Preflight the sandbox" step, with the same arguments as their agent step. The step name is unchanged, so interval.py's exact-name match still never counts it. This does NOT close the window between that step and the agent step: a broker that dies after the probe, or a failure bwrap itself raises at exec, still lands on the billed step and is still counted. That residual is stated in the step comment and tracked separately. --- .github/groom/README.md | 57 ++++++++++- .github/groom/agent-sandbox.sh | 56 ++++++++++- .github/groom/tests/sandbox-tests.sh | 130 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ .github/groom/tests/test_interval.py | 47 +++++++++ .github/workflows/groom.yml | 139 +++++++++++++++++++-------- 5 files changed, 382 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/.github/groom/README.md b/.github/groom/README.md index eca038f0..35d25628 100644 --- a/.github/groom/README.md +++ b/.github/groom/README.md @@ -685,8 +685,9 @@ just untrusted data the agent analyzes, never a path to the runner's credentials How `groom.yml` composes them per agent job: a **broker step** (the only step holding `secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) starts `broker.mjs` on the host socket -`$BROKER_SOCK` and waits for its `/healthz`; the **agent step** — carrying NO real -key — runs `agent-sandbox.sh --uds "$BROKER_SOCK"` with the brief (and, for the +`$BROKER_SOCK` and waits for its `/healthz`; a **"Preflight the sandbox" step** +does the whole no-spend setup half (`--preflight-only` then `--validate-only`, see +below); the **agent step** — carrying NO real key — runs `agent-sandbox.sh --uds "$BROKER_SOCK"` with the brief (and, for the builder, the finding JSON) passed `--ro-file`, every output under the one rw `--out-dir` (`$GROOM_OUT_DIR`), and a `bash -c` wrapper that brings up the in-jail `jail-shim.mjs` before `exec`ing the pinned `claude` CLI with a DUMMY key and @@ -704,8 +705,15 @@ read-only. agent-sandbox.sh --clone --clone-mode ro|rw-git-ro --out-dir \ [--ro-file ...] [--env KEY=VALUE ...] [--uds ] \ -- + + agent-sandbox.sh --preflight-only # bring-up only, no command + agent-sandbox.sh --validate-only ``` + The two extra modes are the *pre-agent-step split* described under + [the no-spend pre-agent split](#the-no-spend-pre-agent-split) below; + both take no `-- ` and neither ever starts the agent. + - **[`broker.mjs`](broker.mjs)** — a ~50-line node-stdlib reverse proxy (`node broker.mjs `) that holds the real key on the host and forwards the jail's requests to it.

Every `--ro-file` groom.yml passes is produced by an unconditional step that precedes `Preflight the sandbox` in all three agent jobs, so the check cannot false-fail there. The broker liveness probe is now STRUCTURAL under `--validate-only`. It was wrapped in `command -v curl`, so a curl-less host skipped it and exited 0 on a stale socket — the crashed-broker case that is the most plausible live trigger for the whole split. Extracted as `broker_healthz()`: curl preferred, python3 fallback (so the capability survives a curl-less host rather than being denied), and only a host with NEITHER is fatal — and fatal only under `--validate-only`. A real run keeps the historical best-effort skip: it is about to run the agent regardless, and a spurious die there is the expensive failure. The preflight/billed mirror assertions are parameterized over all three agent jobs, not just `audit_find`. The verifier and builder carry the longer `--ro-file` lists and the only `--clone-mode rw-git-ro`, so they were the two most able to drift while the comment said "KEEP THE TWO LISTS IN SYNC". New `SandboxPreflightHoistTest` pins ordering, both invocations, and the token-for- token argument mirror per job; the audit_find-only copy is replaced by a pointer so the two cannot diverge. Docs corrected where they overclaimed: the README's "only side effect is the `mkdir -p`" holds only once the bring-up has succeeded (standalone, `--validate-only` still runs preflight's `apt-get`/AppArmor/sysctl mutations), and groom.yml's residual no longer lists a missing `--ro-file` among the failures validation cannot reach. Tests: sandbox-tests.sh 9c gains the absent-`--ro-file` case; new 9f pins the python3 fallback (live broker passes, stale socket still dies) and the no-probe-tool contract, including a control proving a REAL run still reaches the exec there.
