"""The operator's tool for changing a frozen base image.
WHY THIS EXISTS AND THE AGENT DOES NOT GET ONE
Every VM session starts from a read-only base image, so nothing an agent
installs survives it. That is the guarantee, and it is the right one -
but it means there has to be some way to put software into the base, and
it has to be a way the agent cannot reach.
This is it. It starts units that run as a different user and are
authorised by polkit against an active session of the operator:
owuivm-maint@<image> to boot one, owuivm-thaw@<image> and
owuivm-freeze@<image> to change whether it is writable. Those two are
the only things on this host that touch the write bit on a base image. The agent's `request_unfreeze` produces a sentence in a report
that a person then reads; it does not produce a writable disk.
Frozen is literally the owner write bit, so the window can just show
`ls -l` and be telling the truth.

# This tool used to create the blank disk, copy the firmware variables

# IS a member of owuivmadm in /etc/group, but a unix group only reaches a
# process at its NEXT login, and the desktop session running this tool
# predates the usermod that added it. So the group is there, `id` agrees,
# and no running process has it.
#
# It was also quietly wrong for Windows in a second way: it copied the
# plain OVMF variables for both images, where Windows needs the store
# with Microsoft's keys already enrolled (OVMF_VARS_4M.ms.fd) or Secure
# Boot is on with nothing it trusts and setup refuses the machine - a
# failure that would have shown up much later and looked like hardware.

# =====================================================================
# Second-layer egress filter for the VM sandbox.
#
# WHY THIS IS THE SECOND LAYER AND NOT THE FIRST
#
# The primary control is in owuivm.service: systemd's IPAddressDeny=
# attaches a BPF filter to the unit's cgroup, which `nft flush ruleset`
# cannot reach and which applies to every socket the process opens.
# This table says the same thing a second time, independently.
#
# It is deliberately NOT trusted on its own. nft uid-matching is
# fail-open: a `ufw reload`, an `nft -f` carrying `flush ruleset`, a
# package upgrade, or this unit simply failing to start, and the rules
# are gone with nothing to notice. netguard/firewall.sh exists in this
# suite for exactly that class of failure - "a firewall that silently
# failed to apply is worse than none, because everything downstream
# carries on as though it were enforced".
#
# So the test that proves the design is not "these rules are loaded".
# It is: delete this table, re-run the whole guest negative suite, and
# watch it still pass. Then strip IPAddressDeny from a scratch unit and
# run it again. Two proofs, neither trusting the other.
#
# WHAT IT MATCHES
#
# Every guest packet is re-originated by the qemu process as an ordinary
# host socket (see the -netdev user decision in vmd), so the whole guest
# is reachable as "traffic owned by uid owuivm". There is no tap, no
# bridge and no forwarding path, which is why nothing here hooks forward.
#
# Note 10.0.0.0/8 does NOT block the guest's own 10.0.2.x addresses.
# Those exist only inside libslirp and never become host packets. The
# 127.0.0.0/8 line is what closes SLIRP's host aliases - 10.0.2.2 is the
# host's loopback and 10.0.2.3 its DNS forwarder - which is why the
# guest images carry a static public resolver instead of asking DHCP.

# Installed to /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.swtpm
#
# WHY THIS IS NEEDED
#
# Ubuntu ships an AppArmor profile for swtpm that permits libvirt's paths
# and essentially nothing else: /run/libvirt/qemu/swtpm/*.sock,
# /var/lib/libvirt/swtpm/**, and a couple of others. This suite does not
# use libvirt, so a TPM socket under /run/owuivm was refused with
# "Could not open UnixIO socket: Permission denied" - which reads like a
# file-mode problem and is not one. Nothing appears in dmesg for it
# either, because the profile denies quietly.
#
# Windows 11 will not install without a TPM, so this is the difference
# between having a Windows machine and not.
#
# <local/...> is the profile's own documented extension point, so this
# survives a swtpm package update in a way that editing the shipped
# profile would not.
#
# Narrow on purpose: one directory, whose contents are per-session TPM
# state that is thrown away with the session.

WHY THIS EXISTS
Preparing a base image by hand means typing into a VNC console, and the
list of things to do to it is a hundred lines long. Everything on that
list is ordinary shell, so the only real problem is getting the text in
there - and the machine already has a channel for exactly that, the same
one every session uses.
It needs qemu-guest-agent inside the guest, which is also the one thing
on that list that genuinely has to be typed by hand: it is what this
speaks to. So the sequence is always "install the guest agent by hand,
then push the rest".
Deliberately the maintenance socket only. A session's guest belongs to
the agent, and a way to inject a script into it from the host is not
something this host should own.

#
# WHY THE OPERATOR STAGES IT AND THIS ONLY MOVES IT
#
# The obvious design is "pass the chosen path to a privileged unit and
# let it copy". It does not work and should not:
#
# * the maintenance units run with ProtectHome=yes, so the unit cannot
# see ~/Downloads at all; and
# * owuivmadm is not in the operator's group, so even without that it
# could not read a file under a 0750 home; and
# * fixing either by running the copy as root would hand the operator a
# "copy any file root can read into a world-readable directory"
# primitive, in exchange for saving one move.
#
# So the desktop tool copies the disc - as the operator, out of their own
# home, needing no privilege at all - into /var/lib/owuivm/incoming,
# which they own. This runs afterwards and does the part that does need
# privilege: check it, and move it into /var/lib/owuivm/iso.
#
# The move is a rename within one filesystem, so it is instant and
# atomic. The copy, which is the slow part, already happened.

# The one place a qemu command line is built.
#
# WHY A SCRIPT AND NOT ExecStart=
#
# The isolation argument in TUNING.md Change 59 rests on the qemu argv
# being a CONSTANT - specifically that -netdev never grows a guestfwd=,
# smb=, tftp= or bootfile=. Those four are handled inside the qemu
# process and never become host sockets, so neither the cgroup filter in
# owuivm.service nor the nft table in 60-owuivm.nft can see them. No
# filter can catch what no filter can observe; the only defence is that
# the string is fixed and a test asserts it.
#
# So everything security-relevant is literal text in this file. What
# varies between sessions is a session id and two paths, and those are
# re-validated HERE as well as in vmd - this is the point where a name
# becomes a path, and one check at the boundary is worth more than any
# number upstream (the same reasoning as matlab.py's helper filenames).
#
# WHAT IS DELIBERATELY ABSENT
#
# -sandbox QEMU's own seccomp layer. MEASURED TO BE MUTUALLY
# EXCLUSIVE with systemd's SystemCallFilter= on this
# build: under the unit's filter, qemu reports "There
# is no option group 'sandbox'" and exits 1, while the
# identical command line outside it starts fine.
# libseccomp IS linked - the two layers simply cannot
# both install a filter.
# systemd's is the one kept: it is a broader allowlist
# (@system-service excludes @mount, @swap, @module,
# @reboot and @obsolete outright), it covers the whole
# process tree rather than just qemu, and it is
# visible to `systemd-analyze security`. What is given
# up is spawn=deny, and the vector that mattered there
# - `migrate exec:` over QMP - is already closed by
# vmd exposing typed verbs and never a raw command.
# -runas `-sandbox elevateprivileges=deny` would have blocked
# setuid anyway; systemd's User= drops the uid before
# exec, which is stronger and needs no cooperation
# from qemu.
# -daemonize systemd supervises the process; a double fork would
# hide the exit status and break ExecStopPost=.
# usb passthrough, no host device reaches the guest except /dev/kvm,
# vfio, -virtfs which DevicePolicy=closed enforces.
# romfile the virtio-net PXE option ROM is dropped: a boot
# path we never use is a parser we never need.

# Everything a maintenance boot needs, done from inside the unit.
#
# ExecStartPre= owuivm-maint-prepare <name> open
# ExecStopPost= owuivm-maint-prepare <name> close
# the toggle: owuivm-maint-prepare <name> thaw | freeze
#
# STARTING A MACHINE AND UNFREEZING ITS DISK ARE TWO DIFFERENT DECISIONS
#
# They used to be one: ExecStartPre unfroze, ExecStopPost re-froze, and
# the only way to look at a base image was to make it writable first.
# That is backwards for the thing the operator most wants to do - boot
# the image exactly as the agent will get it, to see that it comes up,
# WITHOUT the possibility of changing it by being there.
#
# So the write bit is now set and cleared by `thaw` and `freeze`, which
# are the operator's own verbs, and `open` boots whatever mode the disk
# is already in:
#
# frozen (0444) -> a throwaway overlay, created by owuivm-launch,
# discarded by `close`. Identical to what a session
# boots. Nothing the operator does can reach the base.
# unfrozen (0664) -> the base disk itself, and changes are kept.
#
# The safety net that ExecStopPost used to provide is not gone, it has
# moved to where it cannot be forgotten: vmd refuses to start a session
# at all while a base image is writable, so an image left unfrozen stops
# the agent rather than quietly exposing it.
#
# WHY THE UNIT DOES THIS AND NOT THE DESKTOP TOOL
#
# The first version had the GUI create the disk and write the ISO
# marker, which meant the operator's own account needed write access to
# /var/lib/owuivm/base - so it added them to a group. That works and it
# is also a trap: a unix group takes effect at the NEXT login, so the
# tool fails in a confusing way for exactly as long as the session that
# installed it lasts. Doing it here needs no group at all. The desktop
# tool starts and stops a unit and touches nothing.
#
# `close` runs even when qemu is SIGKILLed, which is the point: the
# overlay of a frozen boot is removed however that boot ended.
#
# The checksum is re-recorded on freeze rather than checked. The operator
# is MEANT to have changed the disk - that is what maintenance is - so
# the manifest records what it became, and the previous value is kept
# beside it so a change can be seen to have happened.

# Maintenance mode: the operator unfreezing a base image to change it.
#
# THIS IS WHY THE AGENT CAN NEVER UNFREEZE ANYTHING
#
# The sandbox runs as owuivm. Base images are mode 0444 owned by
# owuivmadm, in a directory owuivm does not own and is not in the group
# of. So the uid that runs every session physically cannot clear a write
# bit, and there is no verb in vmd that asks anyone else to.
#
# This unit is the only path that can, and it runs as owuivmadm. Starting
# it is gated by polkit (50-owuivm.rules) on an ACTIVE LOCAL SESSION of
# the operator - not on group membership, which a background process
# could inherit. An agent asking for an unfreeze produces a sentence in a
# report; a person at the machine is what produces a writable disk.
#
# FREEZING IS A chmod, WHICH MEANS IT IS VISIBLE
#
# `ls -l` says whether an image is frozen. This unit does not change it
# in either direction: starting a machine and unfreezing its disk are
# separate decisions, made by separate buttons, because the most useful
# thing the operator can do is boot the image exactly as the agent will
# get it - which must not be able to change it.
#
# A frozen disk therefore boots a throwaway overlay and ExecStopPost
# throws it away; an unfrozen one boots itself and keeps what happens.
# An image left unfrozen is caught where it matters rather than here:
# vmd refuses to open a session on a writable base.

# 1.5 GiB for every page of ISO and disk I/O the VM does, so the cgroup
# hit its hard limit 6,782 times in one boot (memory.events max), evicting
# and re-reading the same installer media over and over.
#
# The first fix was to raise this to 14G so the page cache had room.
# That worked - reclaim went to zero - and it was the wrong fix: it gave
# one VM twelve gigabytes of a 58 GB host that is also running Ollama,
# and the host started running short instead. Raising a limit to make
# room for something that should not have been in there.
#
# The right fix is one line in owuivm-launch: cache=none on every drive,
# so this VM's I/O never enters the page cache at all. What is left in

# WHY THIS EXISTS
#
# Stopping the unit used to SIGTERM qemu, which from inside the machine
# is indistinguishable from pulling the plug out of the wall. For a
# session that is fine - the overlay is thrown away either side of it -
# but a MAINTENANCE boot is the operator editing the base image that
# every future session runs from, and yanking power on that is how a
# frozen image acquires a dirty filesystem, or a half-written registry.
#
# ExecStop= runs while the main process is still alive, so this sends
# `system_powerdown` over QMP and returns. systemd then waits for qemu
# to exit by itself, up to TimeoutStopSec - and if the guest ignores the
# button, or has already hung, the SIGTERM still happens afterwards. So
# this is a courtesy with a deadline, not a new way to get stuck.

# MEASURED: 10G made the machine crawl, and it was not obvious why.

# The guest's RAM is a memfd with share=on (virtiofs requires it), so the
# kernel accounts all 8 GiB of it as *shmem* in this cgroup - and with no

# 1.5 GiB for every page of ISO and disk I/O the VM does, so the cgroup
# hit its hard limit 6,782 times in one boot (memory.events max), evicting
# and re-reading the same installer media over and over.
#
# The first fix was to raise this to 14G so the page cache had room.

#
# HOW THE INSTALL IS MADE UNATTENDED
#
# Subiquity will read an autoinstall config from a NoCloud volume, but it
# stops to ask for confirmation unless `autoinstall` is on the kernel
# command line. There is no way to pass a kernel argument to a CD-ROM, so
# the ISO is repacked with that one word added to its grub menu entry.
# The alternative - booting the ISO's kernel directly with -kernel - was
# rejected because it bypasses OVMF, and an image installed outside UEFI
# will not boot under owuivm-launch, which uses it.
#
# The repack is `xorriso ... -boot_image any replay`, which copies the
# original boot records across verbatim. Anything else produces an ISO
# that is subtly not bootable, usually only under UEFI, usually only on
# the second attempt.
#
# THE BUILD RUNS AS owuivm ON PURPOSE
#
# Same uid, same egress filter, same everything as a real session. If the
# sandbox's network rules would break `apt`, this is where that is found
# - not three phases later with an agent in the loop to confuse it.

# The Windows base image
Unlike Ubuntu, this one is installed by hand. There is no unattended path here
and that is deliberate: Windows licensing, edition choice and the out-of-box
experience are all decisions for the operator, not for a script.
## What is already prepared
/var/lib/owuivm/iso/Win11_25H2_English_x64_v2.iso the media you supplied
/var/lib/owuivm/iso/virtio-win.iso the driver disc
Both are recorded in `windows.manifest` and `virtio.manifest` with their
SHA-256. **Recorded, not verified** - unlike Ubuntu, there is no published
checksum list to compare a Windows ISO against, so the manifest says what the
file hashed to and nothing stronger. That difference is real and is not papered
over.
## Three things Windows needs that Ubuntu does not
All three are already in the launcher, applied only when the image is named
`windows`:
| Requirement | What is provided | What happens without it |

| **Hyper-V enlightenments** | fourteen `hv-*` flags on `-cpu`, Windows only | The machine is simply slow, and the host looks busy while the guest looks idle - measured at 347% CPU on an idle installer with the cgroup neither short of memory nor throttled |
| **`-rtc base=localtime`** | Windows only | The clock is hours out, so TLS verification fails and every download breaks in a way that reads as a network fault |
`swtpm` also needed an AppArmor exception: Ubuntu's shipped profile permits
libvirt's paths and nothing else, so the socket was refused with
`Could not open UnixIO socket: Permission denied` - a policy denial wearing a
permission error's clothes, with nothing in dmesg. See
`vm/host/apparmor-local-swtpm`.
## Installing it
1. Finish the Ubuntu image first, or close it. Only one maintenance machine
runs at a time and the prepare step refuses the second.
Starting a *frozen* image is always safe, at any time: it boots a throwaway
copy and cannot change what is on disk. That is the way to check that an
image still comes up before handing it to the agent.
2. **Tool Server VM Maintenance** on the desktop -> the Windows row ->
**Install from ISO**.
A blank 60 GB disk is created, the media is attached, and the console opens.
3. **Two prompts eat keystrokes before Windows does, in this order.** OVMF shows
its own "press a key for boot options" window for about five seconds - any
key there drops you into the firmware menu, not the installer (if that
happens: **Boot Manager** -> **UEFI QEMU DVD-ROM QM00001**, which is the
Windows ISO; QM00003 is virtio-win). Then the ISO itself shows "Press any
key to boot from CD or DVD" for about five seconds, and *that* one has to be
answered or the machine falls through to an EFI shell. So: let the firmware
window pass untouched, then press a key.
4. When setup asks where to install and shows no drives, choose **Load driver**,
browse the second CD, and take `amd64\w11` (or `amd64\2k25`). The disk
appears immediately afterwards.
5. Install normally. A local account is simplest - the machine has no way to
reach a Microsoft account sign-in that needs a phone, and nothing about this
image should depend on one.
## Before you shut down
The equivalents of what the Ubuntu image needed, and for the same reasons:
- **`qemu-guest-agent`** from the driver disc (`virtio-win-guest-tools.exe`, or
`guest-agent\qemu-ga-x86_64.msi`). This is the entire control channel; without
it the machine boots and is unreachable, which looks identical to a machine
that failed to boot.
- **Static networking**: address `10.0.2.15/24`, gateway `10.0.2.2`, DNS
`1.1.1.1`. DHCP hands out SLIRP's own resolver at `10.0.2.3`, which relays to
*this host's* resolver and is correctly blocked by the sandbox filter - giving
a machine with working TCP and no name resolution.
- **Auto-logon** for the admin account, so a GUI session has a desktop from boot
with no human. `netplwiz`, or `Set-LocalUser` plus the `AutoAdminLogon`
registry values.
- **The rest of virtio-win**, not just the storage driver setup needed: NetKVM
for the network, and the display driver in particular. Until it is installed
`virtio-vga` is a plain VGA framebuffer to Windows and every redraw is a full
repaint - which is most of what "the VM feels slow" turns out to be once the
enlightenments are on.
- **Turn off Windows Update's automatic reboots** and anything else that changes
the machine between sessions. Every session starts from this frozen disk, so
background change here is change in every future run.
## Then
Press **Shut down**. The guest is asked to power off over ACPI and systemd waits
for it, so this is the machine shutting itself down rather than the plug coming
out. The variable store is copied back on the way - a UEFI boot entry added by
setup is otherwise lost and the disk will not boot.
Then press **Freeze**, which is the operator's own button and is not done for
you: nothing re-freezes an image behind your back any more. Freezing sets `0444`
and records the checksum, and until it is done no agent session will start -
vmd refuses to open one on a writable base and says so.
Then press **Installed — remove disc**, which appears on the row while an
install is in progress and wakes up once the machine is stopped. That is what
says the install is finished: until it is pressed the installer media is still
attached at every boot, deliberately, because a machine shut down halfway
through setup needs its disc to be finished and nothing here can tell the two
cases apart. The disc first, the disk second - the boot order tries the disk and
falls through to the media, so an installed system boots itself either way and
the only cost of leaving it attached is the ISO staying open.
## Not yet done
Nothing on this page has been run. The Ubuntu path was measured end to end;
this one is written from the same code paths plus the documented Windows
requirements, and the first real install will find something. The argv it will
be given *is* asserted, by `tests/test_vm_launch_argv.sh`, which checks that the
Windows machine gets secure-boot firmware, a TPM and a protected variable store
while the Ubuntu one gets none of them.

"""Open a URL in the machine's own browser, in one call.
WHY THIS IS A VERB AND NOT SIX
Without it, reading one web page in GUI mode costs: a screenshot to find
the browser, a click to focus it, a click in the address bar, a `type`,
a `key` for Return, and a screenshot to see what happened. Six round
trips through a 27B model with thinking on, most of them spent operating
a text field. The address bar is not the part of the task anyone cares
about, so it is not the model's job.
Paired with `web_search`, which runs on the host against the same SearXNG
the main model uses, the whole "look something up and read it" loop is
two calls: search, then open the result.
THE URL IS THE ONLY THING THAT CROSSES
It is validated here rather than trusted from the model, and it is passed
to the guest as an ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE, not interpolated into the shell
script - qemu-ga takes the environment as a list, so there is no quoting
to get wrong and nothing a crafted URL can close and reopen.

#
# WHY THIS EXISTS, AND WHY IT IS HERE.
#
# `open_page` had the only working way to put something on the real
# desktop, and it was welded to browsers. So a session that built a GUI
# application had to rediscover the mechanism for itself - and one did:
# it wrote a 259-line WinForms toolkit in nine steps, then spent the
# remaining twenty of its sixty on "launch the GUI on the interactive
# desktop", and ran out. The knowledge was in this file the whole time.
#
# The same two facts apply as for a browser: qemu-ga is LocalSystem in
# session 0 on Windows, so anything started from `run` appears where
# nobody is looking; and on Linux the desktop launches things through the
# user's own systemd, not through a guessed DISPLAY.
# THE INTERPRETER IS NAMED IN FULL, AND THAT IS NOT PEDANTRY.
#
# Both launchers here pass `env` to guest-exec so the URL or the path
# arrives out of band. Passing `env` REPLACES the child's environment
# rather than adding to it - so PATH is gone, and a bare "powershell"
# cannot be resolved. Every call died with
# `guest-exec: Failed to execute child process (No such file or
# directory)`, which reads like a missing script and is a missing PATH.
#
# `run` never showed it because `shell()` passes no env at all. So this
# was latent in `open_page` on Windows from the day it was written, and
# only surfaced when a second tool used the same mechanism. Measured: the
# agent tried Hello.ps1, a .bat wrapper, calc.exe, cmd.exe, notepad.exe
# and mspaint.exe, and got the identical error for all six - then
# correctly reported a tooling defect rather than inventing a screenshot.

# a browser that never started.

"""Git and Gitea, run on the host against a tree the guest controls.
THE WORKING TREE IS HOSTILE INPUT
The project share is mounted inside the VM, and anything running there
can write anywhere in it - including `.git/`. That makes an ordinary
`git commit` on the host a remote code execution primitive:
* `.git/hooks/pre-commit` is executed, as whoever ran git.
* `.git/config` can set `core.hooksPath`, or a `filter.*.clean`
command that runs on `git add`.
* `.gitattributes` can point at such a filter.
None of that is exotic; it is how git is designed to work. So every git
invocation here is wrapped by _git(), which pins the settings that decide
whether code runs, on the COMMAND LINE - where `-c` beats anything the
repository's own config says - and passes --no-verify where hooks would
otherwise be consulted anyway.
THE TOKEN NEVER GOES NEAR THE GUEST
The remote is stored without credentials and the token is supplied at
push time through GIT_ASKPASS. A `.git/config` the guest rewrites
therefore has nothing to leak, and a `git remote -v` inside the VM shows
a plain URL. The push itself goes to the LAN address rather than the
public hostname: it never leaves this host, so it cannot be intercepted
between here and the VPS that fronts Gitea.

# MEASURED, AND THE REASON THIS EXISTS. Release v3 of the project
# `windows-troubleshooting-toolkit` carried ten files - `_build.ps1`,
# `check_disp3.ps1`, `test_thread2.ps1`, `csharp_out.txt` and more of the
# same - and did NOT carry the 34 KB toolkit the session had been asked
# for. Two things conspired: `git add -A` commits whatever the agent
# happened to leave in the folder, and the asset list sorts `_build`
# ahead of `TroubleshootingToolkit` and then stops at ten.
#
# SO THE FILTER BELONGS AT THE COMMIT, NOT AT THE RELEASE. Gitea builds
# the "Source code (zip)" from the tree the tag points at, and that
# archive is the one thing on a release page that actually downloads -
# measured: `Content-Disposition: attachment`, where every uploaded
# asset, a `.zip` included, comes back `inline`. A release is therefore
# only ever as clean as the commit behind it. Filtering here cleans the
# repository, the asset list and the archive in one move.
#

"""The guest channel: qemu-guest-agent over virtio-serial.
WHY NOT SSH
The obvious way to run a command in a VM is sshd and a forwarded port,
and it was rejected for three reasons that all matter here:
* a forwarded port is a LISTENING SOCKET on this host. The whole
isolation argument is that the sandbox has no inbound surface at
all, and `hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22` - the form everyone writes -
binds 0.0.0.0, i.e. the LAN.
* it needs key material, generated per session, living somewhere.
* it stops working the moment the agent breaks the guest's networking,
which is exactly the moment the agent most needs to be reachable.
A machine that has to be healthy to be fixed is not self-healing.
virtio-serial has none of those properties. It is a character device on
the PCI bus; there is no address, no port and no key, and it works with
the guest's network stack down entirely.
WHAT "A NORMAL SUPERUSER BASH" MEANS
On Linux qemu-ga runs as root, so `guest-exec` of `/bin/bash -lc` is
literally a root login shell - a login shell rather than `-c`, so PATH
and the profile are what a person would see. On Windows the same agent
runs as LocalSystem, which is NOT a normal elevated session: no user
profile, different COM and GUI behaviour, and half of PowerShell's module
autoloading behaves oddly. That is why the Windows image carries a second
broker on its own virtio-serial port, running in the interactive admin
session, and this module is the Linux half.

"""Project names, datasets and quotas.
WHERE A NAME BECOMES A PATH
A project name arrives from the model, which got it from a user, and it
goes on to become four different things: a ZFS dataset, a host directory,
a Gitea repository and a URL. Each of those has its own way of being
wrong - a leading dash becomes an argument, a `..` becomes a different
directory, a slash becomes a different repo owner - so the name is
checked once, here, against a pattern narrow enough that none of those
readings is possible, and checked again by owuivm-launch before it is
handed to qemu.
That double check is deliberate. `security.py` in the api container says
the same thing about URLs: the in-app validation is a usability layer,
and the boundary is somewhere else. Here the boundary is this module plus
the launcher, and neither trusts the other. It is the same discipline as
`matlab.py`, which re-validates a lifted function name against the helper
filename pattern at the moment it opens the file - "one check at the
boundary is worth more than any number upstream".
WHY ZFS AND NOT A DIRECTORY
The 10 GB cap has to hold against a guest that is actively trying to fill
the array, and `du` in a loop does not. A dataset quota is refused by the
filesystem at write time, inside the guest, as ENOSPC. The parent carries
exec=off, setuid=off and devices=off, which are inherited: a setuid
binary or a device node a guest plants in its share is inert on the host
whatever the guest's own mount options said.

"""Assembles the tool result, in vmd's words rather than the agent's.
WHY THE AGENT DOES NOT WRITE ITS OWN REPORT
There is a path from a script running in the VM to the main model's
instructions: guest stdout -> the agent's context -> the agent's summary
-> the vm_agent tool result -> the main model. Tool output is the one
thing this model reliably treats as fact, which makes that path worth
something to anybody who can get a file into a project folder - and every
caller shares those folders.
So the facts in this report are produced here, from vmd's own record:
what ran, what exited non-zero, what was committed, what the supervisor
saw when it re-ran the check. The agent's prose is included, because
throwing it away would lose the only explanation of *why* - but it is
fenced, capped, and labelled as what it is.
Two specific things are scrubbed:
* `data:` URIs. budget.cap() passes a tool result that IS a data URI
through untouched, and Open WebUI routes such a result to the model
as a vision input. A guest that printed one as its entire output
would be choosing an image for the main model to look at.
* the fence itself, so a summary cannot close the quote early and
continue outside it.

"""One VM session: create it, use it, destroy it.
WHAT A SESSION IS
The span of one vm_agent tool call. It starts from the frozen base image
every single time and leaves nothing behind except what was written to
the project share. There is no "resume a machine" path and there is not
meant to be: a machine that carries state between sessions is a machine
where last week's half-finished experiment silently changes this week's
answer.
WHY systemd OWNS THE PROCESS AND THIS MODULE DOES NOT
"Only one VM at a time" is enforced by owuivm.service being a single unit
rather than a template - starting an already-running unit is a no-op, so
the guarantee holds even if this process crashes between checking and
starting. Everything else follows from the same decision: the hardening
is declarative and auditable in one file, ExecStopPost= tears down even
when qemu is SIGKILLed, and cancellation is `systemctl stop`, which does
not care what any Python loop is doing.
That last point is the specific mistake being avoided. The archived
sub-agent stack's cancel verb recorded an intention and killed nothing,
so a cancelled run carried on to completion.

"""A durable record of what one session actually did.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Everything needed to answer "did the agent open the app and look at it"
was already being recorded - `_record()` has covered screenshot, click,
key and type since they were written - and all of it was thrown away when
the session ended. What survived was the tool result and Open WebUI's
status history, and neither can answer the question:
* the report counts `run` and nothing else, so a session that claimed to
click through a GUI and never called `click` reads exactly like one
that did;
* the status history is SAMPLED. The filter polls every two seconds and
reads whatever the status happens to say, so a verb that returns
quickly - a screenshot, a click - is usually overwritten before it is
ever seen. Measured on a real session: 456 samples caught `launch_app`
nine times, because it blocks for seconds, and caught not one of the
screenshots that demonstrably happened.
So the question was being answered from the two records that cannot
answer it, by a reader who had to guess which run they were even looking
at. This writes the transcript to disk as it happens instead: every verb,
in order, with the model's own words between them, one file per session,
named so the newest is last.
NOTHING HERE MAY TAKE A SESSION DOWN. It is a record of the work, not
part of it - the same rule the live view is held to, for the same reason.

"""The session's task list, held by vmd rather than by the agent.
WHY THIS EXISTS AT ALL
The archived sub-agent stack died of accuracy, not plumbing: its coding
agent hallucinated library APIs and wrote self-confirming tests around
them, and agents that were allowed to skip a tool guessed instead. Both
are the same failure - the agent deciding when it is finished, against no
standard but its own prose.
So the first thing an agent does here is write down what it intends to
do, and it cannot call finish() until every item is either done or
explicitly abandoned with a reason. It is arguing with a checklist it
wrote itself, and the refusal arrives as TOOL OUTPUT - which this model
treats as fact, where it treats system-prompt text as advice. That
distinction is the most reliably reproduced finding in TUNING.md.
WHY vmd HOLDS IT AND NOT THE AGENT
If the list lived in the agent's context it would be editable by the same
process that reports on it: a task could be quietly deleted, reworded to
match what actually happened, or marked done in the summary while the
transcript says otherwise. Here the agent can only send verbs, and the
table that reaches the user is rendered from this record. It is the same
reasoning that puts the result header in vmd's words rather than the
agent's.
It is also the progress feed. Every transition is a status line in the
chat, which is far more legible than a step counter, and it costs the
main model nothing because status events never enter the model payload.

"""Re-runs the agent's own verification, so the claim is not the evidence.
WHAT KILLED THE PREVIOUS ATTEMPT
The archived sub-agent orchestrator was retired for accuracy, and its
post-mortem names the mechanism exactly: the coding agent "hallucinated
third-party library APIs and wrote self-confirming tests around them".
The tests passed. The summary said so. Nothing in the pipeline was in a
position to disagree, because the only account of what happened came from
the thing being accounted for.
WHAT THIS DOES INSTEAD
finish() requires a verification command. After the agent's last step,
vmd runs that command ITSELF, in a fresh shell, and the exit code that
reaches the model is the one vmd saw - not the one the agent reported.
It is the same move as the per-job nonce in octave/run.sh, applied to
truth rather than to job identity: the fact in tool output is produced by
the side that is not being checked.
If the re-run disagrees with the agent, the agent's summary is still
shown - but labelled a claim, with the real output beside it. Suppressing
it would lose information; presenting it as a finding would repeat the
original mistake.
WHAT THIS DOES NOT SOLVE, STATED PLAINLY
A self-confirming test still passes when re-run, because it is still the
agent's test. All that can be done cheaply is to NOTICE the shape - a
verification command whose subject is a file created during this same
session - and say so. That is a flag on the result, not a refusal, and it
does not catch an agent that quietly edits an existing file instead.
Mitigated, not eliminated.

"""Search and page-reading for the sub-agent, done on the host.
WHY THIS IS NOT A SECOND SEARCH CLIENT
The api container already has `web_search` and `fetch_page`: a SearXNG
query with the engines this house trusts, a result formatter tuned for a
model to read, a cache, a rate limit, and - for fetch_page - readability
extraction, PDF handling and an SSRF guard that refuses private
addresses. Writing a second one here would mean two search behaviours to
keep in step, and the copy would be the one nobody remembers to fix.
So this calls the same endpoint the main model's tool calls, through the
same gateway, with the same bearer token. One implementation, two
callers.
WHY THE AGENT CANNOT DO THIS ITSELF
SearXNG lives inside netguard's network namespace, on loopback, with a
default-deny filter around it. The VM cannot reach it (that is the whole
point of the sandbox) and neither can the agent container, whose
allowlist is vmgw alone. vmd is the privileged half and already holds the
Gitea token, so it is where a credentialled call belongs.
WHAT COMES BACK IS UNTRUSTED TEXT
Search results and page text are written by strangers. They reach the
agent's context and, through its summary, the main model's. The existing
defences apply unchanged: vmd assembles the tool result header itself,
the agent's prose is delimited and labelled untrusted, and an unfreeze
request can only be produced by vmd with a nonce. Nothing here is
special-cased; it is simply the same exposure the main model already has
when it searches.
