TASK-233 Measure Seatbelt system Keychains access - #2321
TASK-233 removes the unconditional system Keychains folder read from the public macOS Seatbelt baseline. Folder listing, System.keychain and apsd.keychain are denied; Claude retains its separately scoped login-keychain rule. The profile admits the exact /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf file for Node compatibility.
Rebased onto origin/main 8c7c096 at 1f8d10a. The obsolete version bump is dropped: package.json and package-lock.json match main. Publish owns versions per Lily's 83406 direction.
Verification on the rebased head: local real Seatbelt denial/TLS, Qwen adapter and Claude runtime smoke pass 5/5; OpenCode's 4 real adapter tests skip locally because COMMONLY_OPENCODE_SMOKE_BINARY is unset. The disposable macOS CI job installs pinned OpenCode 1.19.0 and runs all four suites; its new-head result is pending. Seatbelt/preflight/public sandbox unit suites pass 32/32. Scoped CLI lint and diff check pass. No new CodeRabbit inline threads were present at rebase.
Earlier evidence at the old head: disposable macOS adapter job passed 9/9, including warmed OpenCode MCP; that is historical evidence and does not clear this rebase. An earlier root-trust experiment could not discriminate the broad grant and was discarded. No root was installed on the operator host.
Draft remains. Fresh Vera gate and current CI required; prior gates do not carry across rebase. No merge or publish performed.
This closes a finding I filed on #2291, so I measured it rather than accepting it. Draft, base main, merge-base b57966d2 = origin/main (base unmoved), 5 files, +93/−5. CI: 17 success including the new adapter-turns macOS job; the five cancelled entries each have later successes; Test & Coverage and kind cluster smoke test are still in_progress. All 5 seatbelt* cli suites 15/15, the new smoke 2/2 with both arms running for real on darwin.
The removal, under real sandbox-exec
Generated the profile for a public Claude seat at this head and ran a confined process, with both controls behaving:
The generated profile now mentions keychains only as the user's login.keychain-db literal and its ancestor metadata. Restoring the (subpath "/Library/Keychains") line reddens the new arm, so the removal is pinned.
The TLS risk my own note raised — measured, on both profiles
My #2291 note said this grant should not be dropped blind because macOS trust evaluation reads the system trust store. It is safe, and here is why rather than a reassurance: the root CAs live in /System/Library/Keychains (SystemRootCertificates.keychain, X509Anchors) — a different path, admitted by neither profile — and trust evaluation goes through the com.apple.SecurityServer mach service the profile already allows. A confined real HTTPS request:
new profile (grant removed): TLS_OK status=200
old profile (grant present): TLS_OK status=200
The PR also turns that into a standing arm (Node can complete HTTPS with the system Keychains folder denied) instead of a one-off, which is the better outcome — my note asked for a measurement and got a regression test.
The new grant is one file, and narrower than it first looked
(literal "/System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf") is a root-owned, world-readable config file with no secrets. Measured: the sibling certs is DENY and listing /System/Library/OpenSSL is DENY, so the literal admits exactly one file; and removing the literal denies that file, so it is load-bearing rather than redundant.
(First pass I reported the sibling as ALLOW. That was my own error: the probe was sh -c 'ls … | head -1', and $? after a pipeline is head's, not ls's. Re-run without the pipe, both the sibling and the listing are refused.)
On this host the grant is also unnecessary: Node 26 (openssl 3.6.2) starts and completes TLS under a profile without it. That does not refute the comment's claim about other builds, and a single non-secret config file traded for a whole keychain directory is a clear net narrowing — but it leaves one small gap worth naming below.
One note (not blocking)
The workflow disables the read the new grant exists for.seatbelt-system-keychains.yml sets OPENSSL_CONF: /dev/null, which suppresses Node's OpenSSL config read — the exact behaviour the literal was added to permit. So the macOS job cannot exercise the grant's necessity, and if the file is ever dropped from the baseline, nothing in CI will notice. Either say in the comment which build reads it (so a later reader can re-derive the need), or drop OPENSSL_CONF from the job so the runner takes the path the grant serves.
Two things worth recording
This is the repo's first macOS runner. Every runs-on was ubuntu before, which is why the real sandbox-exec arms always skipped in CI — the Seatbelt smokes were only ever exercised when a person ran them on a Mac. The new job is path-filtered to the seatbelt files and runs macos-15, so that gap is closed for this family.
The version sequence is clean:main is 0.1.108, #2320 (TASK-189) claims 0.1.109, and this takes 0.1.110 — no collision, as the ask says.

Security re-gate — #2321 at 8d51db04 (workflow-only delta)
The delta is one line, and the code is untouched. Blob-compared the whole file set against the head I cleared (23ada63b):
DIFF .github/workflows/seatbelt-system-keychains.yml
SAME cli/src/lib/sandbox/seatbelt.js
SAME cli/__tests__/seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs
SAME cli/package.json
SAME cli/package-lock.json
So the production Seatbelt profile and its tests are byte-identical, and every measurement in my previous verdict carries unchanged: the three /Library/Keychains denials, the surviving login.keychain-db grant, the TLS comparison across both profiles, the one-file scope of the OpenSSL literal, and the mutation that reddens the new arm when the subpath is restored.
adapter-turns is success at this exact head. Still in_progress: kind cluster smoke test and Test & Coverage.
What the removed line actually changes — and what it still does not
Worth stating precisely, because the two halves are easy to conflate. The smoke suite's own confined() helper writes an emptyopenssl.cnf into the workspace and points Node at it (:15, :25), so the two arms I measured — the system-Keychains denial and the HTTPS check — deliberately use a workspace config and do not touch /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf. Kai's description of that is accurate.
What the delta frees is the other three suites in the same job — adapters.opencode.seatbelt.smoke, adapters.qwen.seatbelt.smoke, seatbelt.claude-runtime.smoke — which now run with no OPENSSL_CONF override, so the runner's Node takes its default path and will read the system config if that build reads it at all.
That means the job now permits the read rather than requiring it. My note asked for the first and this delivers it: the grant is no longer suppressed by the very job meant to exercise it. Proving the grant necessary would need one more arm — run one adapter smoke under a profile without the literal and require it to fail — and that is a nice-to-have, not a gate item, since the grant is a single root-owned non-secret config file traded for a whole keychain directory.
Local coverage, for context on what the macOS job buys
Running all four of the job's suites here on darwin: 5 passed, 4 skipped, and one suite skipped entirely — adapters.opencode.seatbelt.smoke, which needs the COMMONLY_OPENCODE_SMOKE_BINARY the CI job installs. So the real OpenCode turn exists only in CI, and it is the arm most likely to exercise the OpenSSL read. That is the part of this workflow that could not be had any other way.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The Seatbelt baseline now allows reads of the macOS OpenSSL configuration file and removes the broad read grant for system Keychains. New macOS smoke tests check Keychain access, OpenSSL configuration access, and HTTPS behavior. A pull-request workflow runs the tests, including an opt-in login-Keychain probe.
The baseline allows reads of /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf and removes the broad /Library/Keychains read grant. The /Library/Preferences grant remains.
Check system Keychain denial and Node access cli/__tests__/seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs
Tests check that public and Claude runtime profiles receive EPERM when accessing system Keychains. They also check OpenSSL configuration access and require a sandboxed Node HTTPS request to complete with status 200.
Probe Claude runtime login-Keychain reads cli/__tests__/seatbelt.claude-keychain-read.smoke.test.mjs
An opt-in macOS test writes a temporary login-Keychain credential and checks reads outside the sandbox, under the Claude runtime profile, and under a control profile with an explicit Keychains read grant.
Run Seatbelt smoke tests in macOS CI .github/workflows/seatbelt-system-keychains.yml
The workflow runs five smoke-test files on macos-15 with Node 22 and OpenCode 1.19.0. It uses read-only contents permission and enables the disposable login-Keychain probe.

The suite sets OPENSSL_CONF to the workspace file, and the profile grants the workspace recursively. Its current assertions do not read /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf or deny a sibling in that directory. Add both assertions to protect the exact grant. This is a test-coverage gap, not a major production defect.

The diff against main 8c7c096 is three files: the seatbelt.js baseline, the new smoke test and the macOS workflow. package.json and package-lock.json match main.
Checked locally on darwin at this head:
system-keychains smoke, Claude runtime smoke and Qwen adapter smoke: 5/5 pass.
Putting (subpath "/Library/Keychains") back into the baseline turns the keychains smoke red (1 failed, 4 passed). The removal is proven.
No other baseline rule grants /Library/Keychains. The only keychain grant left is the Claude-scoped login.keychain-db literal plus its path-ancestors metadata.
Non-blocking: the /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf literal is never exercised. When I deleted it, all 5 suites stayed green, both with the test's OPENSSL_CONF redirect and without it. The redirect sends Node to the workspace file, so this test can't show the grant is needed. It's a read-only, non-secret file, so it doesn't block this gate. A follow-up should either show a Node build that fails without it, or drop it.
This gate does not cover the four OpenCode arms on macOS CI, which are still pending.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Tier 2 gate for #2321 (TASK-233, Seatbelt Keychain measure) at head eca2d8d. Tier 2 also needs the Opus gate from Otto; this review does not replace it.
Verdict: PASS. The change tightens the sandbox, and the denial is pinned by a test. Two non-blocking notes are below.
Checked
cli/src/lib/sandbox/seatbelt.js: (subpath "/Library/Keychains") is removed from the loader read allowance. No other rule in the profile covers /Library/Keychains. The broad /Library entries are literals (:127-129), and the only subpath near it is /Library/Preferences.
The new smoke test denies EPERM on listing and opening the three system keychain paths, and it confirms Node completes HTTPS with the folder denied.
The adapter-turns job on macos-15 (new workflow) passes on this head. It runs real OpenCode turns under the profile. opencode-ai is pinned to 1.19.0.
The workflow has permissions: contents: read.
Mutation (in /tmp/wt-2321, restored, tree clean)
Restoring the /Library/Keychains read allowance: "public Seatbelt denies listing and opening system Keychains" fails. Caught.
Removing the new /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf literal: all 43 seatbelt tests pass. Not caught.
Tests:seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs passes 2/2. The full set of seatbelt smoke files passes 43/43 with the literal removed, so the literal is unpinned.
Non-blocking
The OpenSSL literal is unverified. The PR says "some Node builds read this one macOS OpenSSL config file before the CLI entrypoint runs." The new smoke test sets OPENSSL_CONF to a workspace file, so the literal path is never exercised. I ran a sandboxed require('https') on this machine's Node (OpenSSL 3.6.2) with OPENSSL_CONF unset, once with the literal and once without. Both succeeded. Either name the build that needs it and test that path, or drop the literal. It is a narrow read of a system config file, so it is not a blocker.
The second test fetches https://example.com. It needs outbound network on the runner, so a network-less runner would fail it for reasons unrelated to the sandbox. Consider a loopback HTTPS server for the same check.
Opus gate, Tier 2 (sandbox and workflow). The rebase is what Lily said: 8 commits, 3 files, 2 commits behind main. The removal itself is right, and the workflow is safe. It runs on pull_request with contents: read, carries no secrets, and pins opencode-ai to 1.19.0. Its job passes 9/9 at this head (run 40276438155, 4 suites), and locally the system-Keychains smoke, the Claude runtime smoke and the seatbelt unit suite pass 23/23.
HOLD, because the one profile that actually reaches the Keychain is the one this PR doesn't measure.
First, the new denial runs only under the profile without allowClaudeRuntimeAccess. seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs:20-22 builds the profile from workspace, executable and state alone. The Claude runtime smoke's "nothing else in the Keychains folder" means ~/Library/Keychains siblings, not /Library/Keychains. My mutant added (allow file-read* (literal "/Library/Keychains/System.keychain")) to the Claude runtime rules (seatbelt.js:453-456), and all 23 tests still pass. A public Claude seat, the only harness whose credential lives in the Keychain, could have System.keychain granted back and nothing would notice. Fix: run the same three denials with allowClaudeRuntimeAccess: true, or parameterise the arm over both profiles.
Second, nothing shows that Claude's credential read survives the removal. Claude reads its OAuth credential by running /usr/bin/security (seatbelt.js:273-274, adapters/claude.js:233-236), and the default search list holds both login.keychain-db and /Library/Keychains/System.keychain. The tests around this PR only open the login database with fs.openSync. #2291's end-to-end run with a real Claude login happened before this PR, when /Library/Keychains was still in the baseline, and no gate here ran the helper. So if Security.framework treats a denied search-list keychain as an error rather than skipping it, the first evidence would be every public Claude seat failing to log in after publish. The disposable macOS runner is the place to settle it. Add a generic-password item to the runner's login keychain, then read it under the public Claude profile with /usr/bin/security find-generic-password -s <probe> -w, expecting the value back. Keep the old profile as a control. Don't run that probe on the fleet host; it is the class of keychain experiment that wedged securityd on 10-22.
Non-blocking, and Sable already raised both: the OpenSSL literal is exercised by no test, and the HTTPS arm depends on example.com.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Correction to my PASS on #2321 (TASK-233) at eca2d8d. The PASS is withdrawn, and this is a HOLD. Otto's HOLD on the same head is right on the coverage point.
What was wrong. I wrote that "the denial is pinned by a test." That is true only for the baseline profile. cli/__tests__/seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs builds its profile with buildSeatbeltProfile({ workspacePath, executablePath, statePath }) and never passes allowClaudeRuntimeAccess. So the profile a Claude seat actually runs (claudeRuntimeRules, which only adds login.keychain-db and .CFUserTextEncoding) is never exercised for system Keychain denial. Otto measured the consequence: re-granting System.keychain inside the Claude-only rules leaves all 23 tests passing. My mutation restored the allowance in the shared baseline, which is the only place the test looks, so it proved nothing about the Claude path.
The code on this head does not grant system Keychains to Claude: I read claudeRuntimeRules and it has no /Library/Keychains entry. The gap is the missing test, not a present hole. It is still the property this PR exists to measure.
Ask 1 (blocking): cover the profile Claude runs. Add a smoke case that builds with allowClaudeRuntimeAccess: true and asserts EPERM on listing and opening /Library/Keychains and System.keychain. Run it on the disposable macOS runner. Re-run Otto's mutation (the allowance in claudeRuntimeRules) and confirm the new case fails.
Ask 2 (blocking before press): rebase onto current main. The branch is based on 97f2ac1d. Main has since merged #2773 (c145db9), which changed cli/src/lib/sandbox/seatbelt.js (the network option and OPEN_NETWORK). Diffed against main, this PR appears to remove that code. A 3-way merge may keep it, but the PR's own tests were not run against it. Rebase, then re-run the seatbelt smoke files on the rebased head.
Non-blocking, from my earlier review, still open: the OpenSSL literal /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf is not exercised. The smoke test sets OPENSSL_CONF to a workspace file, so the literal is never read. Name the Node build that needs it and test that path, or drop the literal.
I did not run the disposable macOS runner, and I did not run Otto's mutation on this host (it is a fleet host).
…K-233)
The system-Keychains denial now runs under the Claude runtime profile too,
so a grant added to claudeRuntimeRules fails a test (Otto's mutation on
eca2d8d passes today; this makes it red).
A disposable-runner probe reads a generic-password item from the login
keychain through /usr/bin/security under the Claude profile with
System.keychain denied, with the old broad grant as a control. It runs only
when COMMONLY_KEYCHAIN_PROBE=1.
Also: checkout does not persist credentials, and the OpenSSL comment names
the observed denial.

cli-lane review (Launch, operator lane) for #2321 at f87b3d1. This is the lane check only. The code gates (Otto, Sable) are separate and still owed at this head.
What the spawn change widens. The public Seatbelt baseline drops the unconditional (subpath "/Library/Keychains") read, so this is a net narrowing. It adds exactly one grant, the literal /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf. The reason is stated in the profile comment and the PR body: Node opens that file at startup, and the macOS adapter job was denied it. That file is system TLS configuration, not credential material. Public seats stay deny-by-default; nothing in their permission rules changes.
Secrets. No token in argv, logs or error text. The keychain probe writes a random 16-byte hex value under a test service name, not a real credential, and deletes it afterwards. It runs only when COMMONLY_KEYCHAIN_PROBE=1 on darwin, which only the disposable macos-15 CI job sets. That job is pull_request-triggered, has contents: read, and uses persist-credentials: false.
Test tier. There are real-Seatbelt smoke tests for the denials and the Claude login-keychain read, each with a broad-grant control, plus the CI adapter job. Live proof on one seat comes from SRE's one-seat canary after merge, before the fleet roll.
Lane note for operators: never set COMMONLY_KEYCHAIN_PROBE=1 on the fleet host. It writes to the login keychain, and keychain experiments there have wedged securityd host-wide before.

Sable re-gate (Tier 2) at f87b3d1. My HOLD at eca2d8d (review 5648522859) is closed.
The baseline loses only the Keychains grant and gains one literal. Against main, cli/src/lib/sandbox/seatbelt.js changes 5 lines, and both rule changes are in PLATFORM_BASELINE:
(subpath "/Library/Keychains") is removed.
(literal "/System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf") is added. It is a plain file, not a symlink, on this host.
The other three lines are the comment.
Nothing else in the profile changes. The #2773network/OPEN_NETWORK code that my earlier HOLD flagged as missing is intact.
Claude's login-keychain rule is unchanged and still scoped: a literal for login.keychain-db and for .CFUserTextEncoding, plus path-ancestors metadata. The folder is not granted.
Ask 1 (cover the profile Claude runs) is closed.seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke.test.mjs now runs both arms under describe.each over the public profile and the allowClaudeRuntimeAccess: true profile. I ran three mutants in a throwaway worktree:
A System.keychain read added to claudeRuntimeRules (Otto's mutation) fails the Claude-runtime denial test. That is 1 failure, and it is the arm that was missing before.
The baseline /Library/Keychains subpath restored fails both denial tests.
The OpenSSL literal removed fails both OpenSSL tests. This also closes my old non-blocking point: with no OPENSSL_CONF override, the literal is now exercised.
The file passes 5/5 at this head.
Ask 2 (rebase) is closed. The head is on current main, 4 commits behind, with no version lines touched.
Otto's credential-read ask is answered on the disposable runner.seatbelt.claude-keychain-read.smoke.test.mjs runs only with COMMONLY_KEYCHAIN_PROBE=1, which only the macOS workflow sets. In adapter-turns (run 41117812245) it passed with 15/15 and none skipped, so the probe ran: /usr/bin/security find-generic-password under the Claude profile returned the probe secret with System.keychain denied. I didn't run the probe on this host, which is a fleet host. The workflow keeps permissions: contents: read and persist-credentials: false. CI is green: 24 pass, 6 skipped.
Non-blocking
The HTTPS arm still fetches https://example.com, so it needs outbound network on the runner.
The probe's control (the old broad grant) can only pass. It confirms the item is readable but can't show that a denial would break the read. That's acceptable, because the claim being tested is that the read survives.

Otto, Opus re-gate (Tier 2) at f87b3d1, against my HOLD at eca2d8d.
The branch is 4 commits behind main, and none of those commits touches cli/src/lib/sandbox/. The PR changes four files: seatbelt.js, two smoke tests and the macOS workflow. No version lines are touched.
(1) The baseline narrows and adds only one literal. In PLATFORM_BASELINE, the seatbelt.js diff removes (subpath "/Library/Keychains") and adds (literal "/System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf"), plus a comment. No other line in the profile changes. The only remaining /Library rule is metadata on the /Library literal itself (:127).
(2) Claude's keychain rule stays scoped.claudeRuntimeRules (:465-477) is unchanged: one read literal for ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db and .CFUserTextEncoding, plus path-ancestors metadata for the login database. Nothing reaches /Library/Keychains.
(3) Both HOLD points are closed.
Ask 1: denial under the Claude profile. The denial arm is now describe.each over the public and Claude runtime profiles. Mutants, run locally on darwin against seatbelt.system-keychains.smoke (5 tests):
my eca2d8d mutant, a System.keychain literal added to claudeRuntimeRules: the Claude arm fails, and the public arm stays green;
a /Library/Keychains subpath added to claudeRuntimeRules: the Claude arm fails;
the subpath restored in the baseline: both arms fail;
the OpenSSL literal dropped: both new OpenSSL arms fail.
The seatbelt unit suite passes 21/21.
Ask 2: the credential read survives.seatbelt.claude-keychain-read.smoke writes a random value into the runner's login keychain. It reads that value back through /usr/bin/security find-generic-password under the Claude runtime profile, with no keychain argument so the default search list applies, and the old folder grant runs as a control. It runs only when COMMONLY_KEYCHAIN_PROBE=1, and the macOS workflow is the only thing in the tree that sets it. In run 41117812245 at this head, the job reports 5 suites and 15 passed with none skipped, so all three probe tests ran and passed. I didn't run the probe on this host, by design. Locally it skips, which is what should happen there.
CodeRabbit's point is closed too: neither new suite overrides OPENSSL_CONF. That also settles the earlier "literal is never exercised" note, because the new arm reads the file under both profiles and fails without the grant. The workflow keeps its safe shape: it runs on pull_request, has contents: read and persist-credentials: false, and pins opencode-ai to 1.19.0. CI is green at this head.
Not blocking:
The probe assumes that the runner's default search list includes /Library/Keychains/System.keychain, but no test asserts it. If a runner's list lacked it, the probe would pass without testing anything. One read-only security list-keychains assertion in the precondition test would pin that premise. SRE's one-seat canary after merge covers it live.
The probe has no negative control. If the login-keychain literal were dropped, the read should fail. Without that arm, the probe can't show that the sandbox actually confines /usr/bin/security's file reads. The production conclusion holds either way.

TASK-233 removes the unconditional system Keychains folder read from the public macOS Seatbelt baseline. Folder listing, System.keychain and apsd.keychain are denied; Claude retains its separately scoped login-keychain rule. The profile admits the exact /System/Library/OpenSSL/openssl.cnf file for Node compatibility.
Rebased onto origin/main 8c7c096 at 1f8d10a. The obsolete version bump is dropped: package.json and package-lock.json match main. Publish owns versions per Lily's 83406 direction.
Verification on the rebased head: local real Seatbelt denial/TLS, Qwen adapter and Claude runtime smoke pass 5/5; OpenCode's 4 real adapter tests skip locally because COMMONLY_OPENCODE_SMOKE_BINARY is unset. The disposable macOS CI job installs pinned OpenCode 1.19.0 and runs all four suites; its new-head result is pending. Seatbelt/preflight/public sandbox unit suites pass 32/32. Scoped CLI lint and diff check pass. No new CodeRabbit inline threads were present at rebase.
Earlier evidence at the old head: disposable macOS adapter job passed 9/9, including warmed OpenCode MCP; that is historical evidence and does not clear this rebase. An earlier root-trust experiment could not discriminate the broad grant and was discarded. No root was installed on the operator host.
Draft remains. Fresh Vera gate and current CI required; prior gates do not carry across rebase. No merge or publish performed.
