What this does

TASK-294. On macOS, a Claude Code listener set up from the Connect page now gets trust workspace when every pod its key answers in is private. Private means not publicly readable, not listed in Community, and with Who can join set to invite-only. Public pods keep public, and assertSandboxDeclaredForPublicPod stays.

• The workspace default. The seat can Read, Grep and Glob under the folder it was first run from, and run read-only git there (status, log, diff, show, blame). Git goes through a CLI-owned stdio MCP tool: an argv array passed to execFile, with no shell. Bash, Edit, Write, WebFetch, WebSearch, NotebookEdit and Task stay denied, and Seatbelt holds the project read-only.

• The git validator refuses:

  • -c, -C, -O, --config-env, --exec-path, --git-dir, --work-tree, --output, --ext-diff, --textconv, --no-index, --contents, --ignore-revs-file, --paginate, --show-signature, --follow, --full-diff and --submodule=diff
  • -S for blame only, where it names a file
  • -L, except as the first argument of log or show with the range in the same argument
  • any %G placeholder, and format names that aren't built into git
  • abbreviations git accepts for any of these, and glued short-option clusters
  • aliases, and paths outside the folder

  Each deny has its own test. A positive control shows that the unguarded form writes a file, reads one it shouldn't, or runs a program.

• Programs a repository's config can name are off. diff, log and show run with --no-ext-diff and --no-textconv, log and show with --no-show-signature, and blame with --no-textconv. Top-level -c settings turn off fsmonitor, signature checks, and the submodule diff and summary, and force git's own default format. Those settings reach the child git a submodule runs in, which the flags don't.

• The environment is rebuilt from an allowlist: system and global git config are off, optional locks are off, and repository discovery stops at the folder.

• Read-only git never contacts a remote. GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH=1 means a partial clone reports an object it never downloaded as missing. Without it, show fetched the object and wrote it into .git/objects (measured on git 2.54.0). GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL set to a name no transport uses refuses every protocol, which covers git older than 2.44, where GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH does nothing.

• .env files, .env.* files and what a .env folder holds, at any depth, are out of reach in two layers: the jail (an SBPL regex under the workspace root) and the tool policy. Read-only git refuses an argument that names one, in every form git reads a path from. status, log, diff and show run with pathspecs that exclude them, so no patch, pickaxe match or blob id comes from one.

• .git can't be read with the file tools, because .git/config can hold a remote URL with a token. History still comes through read-only git.

• --allow write adds Edit, Write and Bash, and makes the folder writable. .git stays read-only, so there are no commits, hooks or config changes.

• --allow web adds WebFetch only. WebSearch stays denied.

• Grants are set at first run with commonly agent run <name> --allow write,web. A later run that asks for different grants is refused, and the refusal says how to change them. Asking for a grant on a seat that won't work in its folder is refused with the reason, never dropped.

• A check before every turn. The seat re-reads its pods before each turn. If it can't confirm they are all private, including when the read fails, that turn runs as a public seat in its scratch folder. It gets a fresh session and no grants. It also gets none of the agent's memory: memory is left out of the prompt, the memory tools are denied, and nothing syncs back.

• Refused start folders: $HOME, /, any ancestor of $HOME, and the credential folders (~/.commonly, ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.ssh, ~/.aws, ~/.config). Those seats keep the public default and log why.

• macOS only for now. Under bwrap the child's HOME is the folder, so transcripts would be written into the project. The adapter therefore refuses workspace with bwrap, and off macOS the first-run default stays public.

• Codex and the other adapters (opencode, qwen, pi, goose, dsh) refuse a declared workspace. It is Claude-only for now.

• Docs. docs-site/bring-your-own/work-in-your-repo.mdx gains a "What the listener can reach" section, and the Claude Code page links to it. The Connect page says the same under the listener command, in en and zh-CN, including the macOS condition.

• Backend. The runtime /installations response reports publicRead, communityListed and joinPolicy per pod.

Choices and limits, named

1. Plain attach with no --env on a private pod stays unconfined, as today. Only the Connect-page first-run path defaults to workspace.
2. Daemon-derived seats stay public.
3. A post the seat makes mid-turn into a public pod has no server-side enforcement, because the trust check runs before the turn. Workspace turns deny commonly_self_install_into_pod, so a turn can't join a public room partway through.
4. Trust is read from /installations, not /pods.
5. When the folder is a worktree or a submodule, its gitdir lies outside it, so read-only git fails there.
6. .git is read-only under write by choice, so the seat cannot commit.
7. Unchanged: the grant broker admits only public trust, so workspace seats get no room grants.
8. The workspace_git server also gets a commonly_self_install_into_pod deny. It means nothing for that server and does no harm.
9. URL fetch stays off by default. A seat that can both read and fetch any URL could move what it read off the machine, and permissions can't tell a pasted URL from one the seat built. Bash reaches the network, so write opens the same path. The docs page says both.
10. A clean filter set in the repository's own git config, such as Git LFS, still runs, because status, diff and blame need it to tell whether a file changed. It runs inside the same read-only sandbox. The docs page says so.
11. Git can't refuse a committed .env asked for by its object id, if that id was learned somewhere else. The docs page says to keep secrets out of git history.
12. Anyone who can @mention the seat in its pods can ask what the folder's files say. Invite-only limits who that is; it doesn't keep the folder from them. The docs page says to run it from a folder you would show them.

Since the first gates

Rhea passed fede2cf4c (comment 6404279785) and Sable held it (review 5645688210). The branch is now rebased onto main after #2747, so fede2cf4c is 4b5549989. New since then:

• a190a3c0b: no gpg and no textconv (Sable's four points). .env folders and .git are out of reach.
• 9bf27589d: a workspace seat's turn that runs public gets no memory and no memory tools. The commit's subject says "a turn that runs public", but a seat that is public from the start reads its memory as before, because it never reads the project.
• 0ecbe8619: the docs state the macOS condition and the object-id limit.
• 117aa108f: --follow is refused.
• 213d5aa3a: a submodule follows the same rules.
• e05b9d4d6: the Connect page names the macOS condition.
• cebf403b1: read-only git never contacts a remote.
• 3ce8e856d: the docs say everyone in the pods can ask what the folder holds.
• b28e35e63: --full-diff is refused.
• 488c64a14: test git inherits no GIT_* from the shell.
• 97f5393e6: the Connect page states every condition for folder access.
• a0c372047: the docs' scratch-folder cases include a pod listed in Community.
• bb7c6caa4: -L is accepted only as the first argument of log or show, in one piece.
• 885e8bf00: the Linux Connect page test checks that no folder guidance shows.

Rhea (review 5646217191) and Sable (review 5646194831) passed 885e8bf00. One commit since:

• ae1030363: rewrites the zh-CN Connect string after the zh-CN two-pass review (table below). Only that line of zh-CN.json changes.

The CodeRabbit findings are answered in issuecomment-6404232821, issuecomment-6404603909, issuecomment-6404911194 and issuecomment-6405367672.

Follow-up after merge, from Sable's re-gate (non-blocking): checkFormat should also catch abbreviated forms of --format= and --pretty=, such as --form= and --pret=. git 2.54.0 rejects those for log and show, so they can't reach gpg today, but the guard shouldn't depend on that.

zh-CN review

agentByo.listen.reachClaude went through the zh-CN two-pass review. A voice pass and a terminology pass ran in parallel, then one adjudication pass: the glossary wins on terms, the voice pass wins on rhythm. Every fact in the en string survives, and {{name}}, --allow write, --allow web and macOS are unchanged. All rows are the same key.

key	before	after	reason
agentByo.listen.reachClaude	在 macOS 上，若…	如果你用的是 macOS，并且…	macOS moves inside the condition, so 不满足这些条件 also covers other systems. That matches the CLI, where any OS other than macOS uses the scratch folder.

Kept on purpose: 仅限邀请. The glossary says 邀请制. But the setting a reader has to check is labelled 仅限邀请: podsSidebar.create.privateOption, the 谁可以加入 choice on the create-pod form and in pod settings. So are tools.makePodInviteOnly, tools.podInviteOnlyNow and tools.joinPolicyError. Changing this string alone would name a setting the UI doesn't show. Those four keys and this one should move to 邀请制 together, in their own change. Other drift the terminology pass found, also left for that change: lowercase pod in 10 keys; 列入 and 收录 both used for Community listing; "agent" untranslated in 3 keys.

Proof

• Measured under real sandbox-exec, with the exact Seatbelt profile the adapter emits:
  • The git tool answers log and status.
  • Without write, a write into the project is refused.
  • With write, project edits succeed. Writes to .git/config and .git/hooks are refused, and so are moving .git, links into .git, and anything outside the project.
  • .env files at any depth are refused, tested in a folder whose name holds regex metacharacters. Ordinary files such as .envrc and notes.env stay readable.
  • Smoke tests (macOS only): seatbelt.workspace-write.smoke.test.mjs and seatbelt.env-files.smoke.test.mjs.
• Real git in every git test. The partial-clone test clones with --filter=blob:none. The guarded show fails and the object stays missing. Bare git fetches it, as the control. Dropping either environment guard alone still fetches nothing.
• Mutation-checked throughout. Each guard was removed in turn, and a test failed every time. Before the first gates, I also set the platform default to Linux and ran the whole CLI suite, and it passed.
• Suites:
  • CLI: 1,772 passed, 18 skipped; lint clean. One macOS-only smoke test, seatbelt.ca.smoke.test.mjs, fails on this machine both at a0c372047 and at this head. It fetches example.com from inside the sandbox and gets a non-200 response. It doesn't touch this change, and CI skips it off macOS.
  • Frontend: 178 suites, 1,802 passed. The one file changed since then passes at this head (15 tests).
  • Backend: the docs-site facts and runtime /installations tests pass (15).

Review tier: 2 (security). Gate: Rhea. Gate: Sable. Gate: Vera (agentByo strings lane).

Walkthrough

This pull request adds workspace trust for Claude Code listeners. Pod visibility and start-directory checks control workspace access. Sandbox rules and optional grants constrain access, and each turn rechecks visibility. The change also adds restricted read-only Git access and updates listener guidance.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Claude Code listeners on invite-only pods get a workspace trust mode, with --allow write and web grants. The changeset adds this workspace trust tier, the grant flags, and the read-only git tool, so the title matches the primary change. It is long (112 characters), but it stays specific and on topic.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is detailed and matches the changeset. It covers the workspace trust default for private pods, the read-only git validator and MCP tool, the .env and .git protections, the --allow write and web grants, the per-turn privacy recheck, the backend /installations fields, the docs updates, and test results. It is not off-topic.

Qualify when the listener can use the start folder.

An invite-only selected pod is not sufficient. Workspace access also requires all pods associated with the key to be confirmed private and the start folder to pass the safety check. Otherwise, the listener uses scratch. State those conditions here and in frontend/src/i18n/locales/en.json line 1587 so the setup page does not promise access that the CLI refuses.

Fix the path containment check: startsWith('..') also matches directory names that begin with ...

relative() returns '..foo' for a child directory named ..foo. rel.startsWith('..') then treats it as outside the parent. This is a string-prefix check on a path segment.

Concrete failure: a start directory ~/.ssh/..keys produces rel === '..keys'. isInsideOrEqual(real, join(realHome, '.ssh')) returns false, so the credential-store refusal does not fire. The same flaw can make an ancestor-of-$HOME check miss when $HOME has a ..-prefixed segment.

Reject only a real parent-traversal segment.

Proposed fix

-import {
-  isAbsolute, join, relative, resolve,
-} from 'path';
+import {
+  isAbsolute, join, relative, resolve, sep,
+} from 'path';

 const isInsideOrEqual = (child, parent) => {

-  return rel === '' || (!rel.startsWith('..') && !isAbsolute(rel));
+  return rel === '' || (rel !== '..' && !rel.startsWith(`..${sep}`) && !isAbsolute(rel));
 };

Add a test with a ..-prefixed directory inside a credential store.

Based on learnings: path containment must reject only a leading parent-traversal segment, not any string prefix.

Strip inherited GIT_* variables from the test's git subprocesses.

bareGit spreads process.env into the child environment. The git init, git status, and git commit calls on Lines 218 and 221 inherit it as well. When the suite runs under a git hook, GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, and GIT_INDEX_FILE are set. Examples are a husky pre-commit or pre-push that runs npm test.

The temporary-repo commands would then operate on the developer's real repository. bareGit(['add'...]) and bareGit(['commit', '-m', 'first commit']) would stage and commit into it. The control assertions at Lines 222 and 73 would also be unreliable.

Build the base environment with every GIT_* key removed, and use it in both places.

Proposed fix

+const cleanEnv = () => Object.fromEntries(
+  Object.entries(process.env).filter(([key]) => !key.startsWith('GIT_')),
+);
+
 const bareGit = (args, opts = {}) => execFileAsync(GIT, args, {
   cwd: repo,
-  env: { ...process.env, GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM: '1', GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL: '/dev/null' },
+  env: { ...cleanEnv(), GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM: '1', GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL: '/dev/null' },
   ...opts,
 });

Also pass { env: cleanEnv() } to the execFileAsync calls at Lines 218 and 221.

Based on learnings: "explicitly strip Git repository-location environment variables (GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE, GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY, etc.) … Apply the same env-scrubbing in tests that spawn git against temporary repositories."

Scope the any-depth .env deny to workspace-trust profiles.

buildSeatbeltProfile is shared by Claude, Qwen, and OpenCode. The new unconditional rule can block .env.example and nested .env reads for Qwen and OpenCode public Seatbelt sessions. The new envFilesUnder validation can also reject valid workspace paths containing quotes or line breaks for every caller.

Limit the any-depth rule and its validation to workspace trust. Preserve the existing root .env deny for other callers.

Suggested fix

   allowClaudeRuntimeAccess = false,
+  denyEnvFilesAtAnyDepth = false,
 }) => {
...
-    `(deny file-read* file-write* ${envFilesUnder(resolvedWorkspace)})`,

All four CodeRabbit findings are fixed, each with a test that fails without the fix. Head is now fede2cf.

• feat(byo): Claude Code listeners work in their folder on invite-only pods, with --allow write and web (TASK-294) #2746 (comment) (blame -S), fixed in d1cc2e1. blame reads -S as a file of revisions and prints back a line it can't parse, so blame -S/etc/hosts leaked a line from outside the workspace. -S is now refused for blame only. log, diff and show still take it as the pickaxe.
• feat(byo): Claude Code listeners work in their folder on invite-only pods, with --allow write and web (TASK-294) #2746 (comment) (Connect copy), fixed in 594121a. The page now states the default bound first, then says the commands --allow write enables can read beyond the folder. This matches the docs page, in en and zh-CN.
• feat(byo): Claude Code listeners work in their folder on invite-only pods, with --allow write and web (TASK-294) #2746 (comment) (visibility alone isn't private), fixed in 3dadd64. The invite reasoning doesn't hold: redemption skips the join policy for open and invite-only pods alike, and only members can mint an invite. The fix is still right, for another reason: agent self-install admits any agent to an open pod an agent created, listed or not. So workspace trust now also requires joinPolicy: 'invite-only', and /installations reports it. A pod with no stored policy reads as open.
• feat(byo): Claude Code listeners work in their folder on invite-only pods, with --allow write and web (TASK-294) #2746 (comment) (committed .env), fixed in fede2cf. Any argument that names a .env/.env.* file is refused (HEAD:.env, :0:sub/.env.local, -L1,5:.env, a path after --, blame's file). status, log, diff and show run with excluding pathspecs, so patches, globs, the pickaxe and raw listings leave those files out. One gap remains: show <blob id> with an id learned somewhere else.

Isolate workspace memory from public fallback turns.

When placeTurn falls back to public trust, do not pass the agent-wide memoryLongTerm to Claude. A workspace turn may store project details there, and Claude injects that value into the public prompt.

Also prevent the fallback from writing to shared long_term memory through Commonly MCP tools. Do not rely on result.memorySummary; Claude does not return that field.

State the macOS condition for workspace placement.

firstRunWorkspace returns workspacePath: null whenever platform !== 'darwin', even when all pods are invite-only and private. This sentence says pod privacy alone makes the listener use the command folder. State that folder placement applies on macOS and that other platforms use scratch placement.

fede2cf: TASK-294 Tier 2 gate, code review of the diff (rhea). I did not run the suite.

What I checked, by reading the diff and the head sources of claude.js and seatbelt.js:

• .env holds in three layers. git-readonly.js refuses an argument that names a .env file, and appends :(exclude,glob)**/.env pathspecs to status/log/diff/show, so :(literal).env-style magic is still excluded. claude.js denies Read(./.env.*), Read(./**/.env) and Read(./**/.env.*). seatbelt.js denies file read and write on .env* at any depth by regex. The Seatbelt profile is deny-by-default, so Bash cannot reach ~/.commonly or other home paths.
• The git argv holds. Only five builtins run, and the caller's arguments go after them, so top-level -c, -C, --git-dir and --exec-path are never parsed. Abbreviations of denied long options are refused. The two exact names that prefix a denied one (--text, --ignore-rev) are real options and pass. core.fsmonitor is forced off, and GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES stops repository discovery at the workspace.
• The per-turn re-read fails closed. An unreadable pod list is null and runs public in scratch. An empty list also runs public. allow grants are dropped on a public turn.
• The backend returns the three visibility fields with the effective defaults, and /installations is agentRuntimeAuth-gated.

Non-blocking residuals, for Sable and the press to weigh:

1. --allow write grants Bash, and seatbelt has (allow network-outbound). A turn can therefore send any workspace file that is readable (.env excluded) off-host. This is an operator opt-in and the bootstrap line discloses it. web (WebFetch) is the same channel.
2. The first-run default takes any launch folder that is not home or a credential store. A seat started from a private project folder (for example a Qing or Rememly checkout) exposes that folder to every member of an invite-only pod. Consider refusing known private-repo paths, or documenting this in the bootstrap line.
3. show <blob id> with an id learned elsewhere can read a committed .env. The header already says so.

CI: isolated-egress is red at 22:25Z. The cause is Cannot find package '@commonlyai/seats' from cli/src/lib/runtime-observation.js. That file is unchanged by this PR, and main's agent.js already imports it, so the failure predates this diff as far as I can see. It still blocks the press, so the egress job needs fixing or a main-branch run needs to show the same failure.

Head is 3 commits behind main, which is expected until #2747 merges.

Refuse --follow when .env exclusions are appended.

git log --follow requires exactly one pathspec. This wrapper appends four .env exclusion pathspecs to log, so Git rejects the command. Refuse --follow in checkLongOption and add a test next to the -L cases.

   const name = arg.split('=')[0];

Tier 2 security gate at fede2cf. Verified by running the code in a clean worktree at this head (cli deps installed with npm ci --ignore-scripts), not by reading alone.

Verdict: HOLD. Two of the three checks fail as written, and one of the failures is a .env leak.

1. No git argument writes or executes: FAILS on execution

• --show-signature and any %G format placeholder run gpg. Probe: a commit with a gpgsig header and a stub gpg on PATH that touches a marker. log --show-signature -1 and log --format=%G? -1 both created the marker. The program is fixed (whatever gpg PATH resolves to), so no caller picks it, and the sandbox denies its writes. Impact is low, but the module header says no git call may run a program, and that is false.
  • Fix: refuse --show-signature and any %G in a format or pretty argument, and force --no-show-signature on log and show.
• git blame runs the repository's configured textconv. Probe: .gitattributes *.txt diff=p plus diff.p.textconv in the repo config. Plain blame created the marker. blame --no-textconv did not (verified). diff, log and show force --no-textconv; blame does not.
  • Fix: add --no-textconv to FORCED_OPTIONS.blame. The repo owner sets the config, so the seat can't trigger this alone. It still breaks the stated contract.

2. Nothing escapes the workspace: holds

• :(glob)../../etc/* is refused by git ("outside repository"). /etc/hosts is refused by the lexical check.
• -O, --outp (abbreviation of --output) and --git (abbreviation of --git-dir) are refused. --orderfile= is rejected by this git as an invalid option for diff.
• A symlink to a file outside the repo shows only the link text.
• --help prints usage, not a man page.
• show <blob id> with an id learned elsewhere still reads the blob. I could not get an id through the tool: log --raw --no-abbrev, show --raw and diff --raw omit excluded paths, and show <tree> lists names only. This matches the module's own disclosure. Accepted.

3. .env out of reach, committed copies included: FAILS for .env/ directories

No leak through any git route. log -p, log -p with no pathspec, -S pickaxe, :(icase), :(literal).env, show HEAD~1:.env, show ./.env, blame .env, blame -L1,1:.env, and --raw all either refuse or omit the file. Under Seatbelt, .env, .ENV, .Env, app/.ENV.LOCAL are denied (read, cat, cp, hardlink and symlink in write mode are all refused).

• Defect: a directory named .env is readable. ws/.env/secrets.json reads as DIRSECRET under the read-only jail. The sandbox regex ^ws/(.*/)?\.env(\..*)?$ matches the directory name but not what is under it, and the Claude side denies only Read(./**/.env), which does not cover the directory's contents. The git layer already excludes **/.env/**, so the two layers disagree.
  • Fix: extend the regex to cover \.env(/.*|\..*)?$ and add Read(./**/.env/**) to the workspace denies. Add a Seatbelt smoke case for .env/secrets.json.

Also (outside the three checks, should fix)

• .git/config is readable through Read(./**). Under the read-only jail .git/config reads back, including any url = https://user:token@… a clone left behind. The git tool runs in its own process, so a Claude-side deny does not touch it.
  • Fix: add Read(./.git/**) to the workspace denies. The tool still returns history.

Ran

• git-readonly.test.mjs, git-readonly-server.test.mjs, workspace-trust.test.mjs, workspace-turn-run-loop.test.mjs, seatbelt*.test.mjs, public-pod-sandbox-gate, adapters.claude.environment, attach: 276 passed, 5 skipped, 1 suite skipped (macOS-only smoke guard).
• The probes above, against the worktree's git-readonly.js and seatbelt.js.

Not tested

• bwrap (Linux), out of scope under the macOS-only rule.
• Glob and Grep against .env/ under the live Claude runtime. I tested the Seatbelt layer directly, not the Claude tool layer.

GATE: HOLD

[lilyshen0722]

Head d94e8f1. This answers every CodeRabbit finding from the reviews at 594121a, 3dadd64 and fede2cf. All are fixed.

• 5645628287 (zh-CN reachClaude, Minor): the line now says 传出这台电脑 (56e32f0).

• 5645661557, outside the diff (memory on a fallback public turn, Major): valid. A workspace seat's turn that runs public now:

  • doesn't read long-term memory;
  • gets a cue that its memory is withheld, instead of the empty-memory cue that invites a save;
  • has the memory tools denied;
  • never syncs a summary back.

  The withholding is decided where the turn's prompt and tools are set up. It doesn't depend on result.memorySummary (56e32f0). The tests are in memory-bridge, workspace-turn-run-loop and adapters.claude.environment, and each fails without the fix.

• 5645661557, docs line 24 (macOS condition, Minor): valid. firstRunWorkspace keeps a seat public when it isn't on macOS. The page now says "On macOS" and lists "anywhere but macOS" among the cases that use the scratch folder (e9e4aec).

• r4372760368 (committed .env claim, Major): valid. The line now says read-only git refuses those files by name or path. It also says git can't refuse a committed file asked for by its object id, so secrets belong out of history (e9e4aec).

• 5645686804, review body (--follow, Minor): valid. git takes exactly one pathspec with --follow, and the .env excludes always add more, so it's now refused with that reason. The test sits next to the -L cases, with a bare-git control (239b6f9).

One more fix, from my own check rather than CodeRabbit: a submodule's git runs as a child process, which none of the forced flags reach. --submodule=diff is now refused. diff.submodule, status.submoduleSummary and log.showSignature are now forced through -c, which does reach child git. Each guard has a test with a bare-git control, and each test fails without its guard (d94e8f1).

Sable's four points are fixed in cf9d827. CLI: 1,764 passed, lint clean. I'll ask for the re-gate after rebasing onto main once #2747 merges.

Reject -L... after another argument for pathspec subcommands.

readonlyGitArgv treats any -L... token as a line-range request and omits ENV_EXCLUDES. Git can consume that token as the value of a preceding option. For example, diff --src-prefix -Lx HEAD~1 HEAD includes the committed .env change when the excludes are absent.

Add a regression test for this diff case. The log --grep -Lx case is not valid because Git rejects it as an invalid line range.

🔒 Suggested fix

-  for (const arg of args) {
+  for (const [index, arg] of args.entries()) {
@@
       if (arg.startsWith('-L')) {
+        if (index > 0 && PATHSPEC_SUBCOMMANDS.has(subcommand)) {
+          return refuse('-L must be the first argument: after another option, git can read it as that option\'s value, and the .env excludes would be skipped');
+        }
         lineRange = true;
         if (namesEnvFile(arg.slice(2))) return refuse(`${arg} is refused: ${NAMES_ENV_FILE}`);
       }

Update readonlyGitArgv to reject an -L... argument when it appears after another

when Git consumes it as an option value. Add a regression test for diff
--src-prefix -Lx HEAD~1 HEAD.

This answers CodeRabbit's review 5646054733 at a0c372047. Both findings are fixed at 885e8bf00.

• feat(byo): Claude Code listeners work in their folder on invite-only pods, with --allow write and web (TASK-294) #2746 (comment) (-L after another argument): fixed in bb7c6caa4.
  • A line range takes no pathspec. So only a token that git is sure to read as -L may turn the .env excludes off.
  • -L is now accepted only for log and show, as the first argument, with the range in the same argument.
  • status and diff refuse -L, because git takes none there (git 2.54.0 reports unknown switch and invalid option).
  • A bare -L is also refused, since git would read the next argument as its range.
  • blame is unchanged: its -L names no file, and blame takes no excludes.
  • The test covers your diff --src-prefix -Lx HEAD~1 HEAD case. It also covers -L after another option, a bare -L and a second -L for both log and show, and it checks that the one-piece first-argument form still traces a line. Removing any one of the three rules makes it fail.
• Nitpick on V2AgentBYOListenSnippet.test.tsx (no folder guidance when the listener is unavailable): fixed in 885e8bf00. The Linux test now asserts that byo-listen-reach is absent, and it fails when the listenerAvailable guard is removed.

Re-gate at 885e8bf, the 14 commits after 4b55499 (the rebased fede2cf).

I read the delta against the CLI source at that head and ran about 50 adversarial argv cases through readonlyGitArgv. No bypass found. Covered: %G in --pretty/--format (including format: and tformat:), --show-signature and its --show-sig/--show-s abbreviations, --follow/--fol, --full-diff/--full, --submodule=diff and --sub=diff, -L placement and .env names in ranges, --no-index, --textconv, --ext, --git-dir, --work-tree, -c, --output/--outp. Memory withholding and the .git and .env/ denies read correctly.

Non-blocking:

1. The 9bf2758 message says a turn that runs public gets no memory. The gate is placement.reason, so only a workspace seat that drops to public is withheld. A seat that is public from the start still reads memory, as before. Confirm that is intended, or narrow the message.
2. Residuals unchanged: --allow write gives Bash with unrestricted network; a clean filter the repo config defines runs in status, diff and blame inside the sandbox; show <blob id> is documented.
3. I did not run the CLI suite locally. CI is green at this head.

Sable's gate is separate.

Tier 2 security re-gate on #2746 at 885e8bf. I checked the four points from my HOLD at fede2cf against the fix commit a190a3c and the later commits, in a clean worktree at this head with npm ci --ignore-scripts. I ran the tests and a mutation check, not reading alone.

1. gpg (--show-signature and %G). Fixed.

• --show-signature is refused, and abbreviations are refused too (--show-sig, --show-s).
• log and show force --no-show-signature, and -c format.pretty=medium is forced at top level.
• %G is refused in --format= and --pretty= values, including format: and tformat: forms. A configured alias that could hold %G is refused unless the name is a built-in.
• Probed with the real argv builder: --show-signature, --show-sig, --pretty=%G?, --format=%G?, and --pretty=tformat:%H %G? all refuse. --no-show-signature passes.
• I also checked whether --form= and --pret= (abbreviations of --format and --pretty) get past the guard. The guard accepts them, but git 2.54.0 rejects them with unrecognized argument, so they do not reach gpg. This depends on git's own behaviour, not the guard. Non-blocking: add them to checkFormat so the guard does not rely on git.
• Tests: git-readonly.test.mjs has a gpg control (the unguarded form runs gpg) and the guarded forms refuse.

2. blame textconv. Fixed. FORCED_OPTIONS.blame is now ['--no-textconv']. blame --textconv is refused. The argv probe shows blame --no-textconv README.md. The blame textconv control test is in git-readonly.test.mjs.

3. .env directory contents. Fixed, and the fix holds under mutation.

• Seatbelt regex is now ^<ws>/(.*/)?\.env([./].*)?$. It covers .env/ directory contents, .env.local and .env/x, and does not cover .environment.
• Tool policy adds Read(./.env/**), Read(./**/.env/**) and Read(./**/.env.*/**).
• Mutation: I reverted the regex to \.env(\..*)?$ in the worktree. seatbelt.env-files.smoke.test.mjs fails three cases, including packages/web/.env/secrets.json and .env/deep/key.json. I restored the file and the worktree is clean.

4. .git/config readable through Read(./**). Fixed. Read(./.git/**) and Read(./**/.git/**) are in workspaceDenies. adapters.claude.environment.test.mjs asserts both are present for a workspace seat and absent for a non-workspace seat.

Ran (at 885e8bf, macOS, Jest): git-readonly, git-readonly-server, seatbelt, seatbelt.env-files.smoke, seatbelt.workspace-write.smoke, adapters.claude.environment, workspace-trust, workspace-turn-run-loop, public-pod-sandbox-gate. Result: 9 suites passed, 179 tests passed, 1 skipped.

Not run: the full CLI suite and the macOS seatbelt.ca.smoke test. The PR body says that test fails on this machine at a0c3720 and at this head, and that it is unrelated. CI is the reference for the full suite; Wren reports it green.

Scope: I did not re-review the rest of the 14 commits since fede2cf beyond what the four points touch. Those were covered by Rhea's gate and the CodeRabbit answers the PR body cites.

Re-gate at 885e8bf, the 14 commits after 4b55499 (the rebased fede2cf). Filed as a review at the request of the author; it supersedes PR comment 6405612045 and is not a re-review of earlier heads.

I read the delta against the CLI source at that head and ran about 50 adversarial argv cases through readonlyGitArgv. No bypass found. Covered: %G in --pretty/--format (including format: and tformat:), --show-signature and its --show-sig/--show-s abbreviations, --follow/--fol, --full-diff/--full, --submodule=diff and --sub=diff, -L placement and .env names in ranges, --no-index, --textconv, --ext, --git-dir, --work-tree, -c, --output/--outp. Memory withholding and the .git and .env/ denies read correctly.

Non-blocking:

1. The 9bf2758 message is broader than the gate. The author confirmed the intended scope (only a workspace seat dropped to public is withheld) and narrowed the PR body; the commit message stays.
2. Residuals unchanged: --allow write gives Bash with unrestricted network; a clean filter the repo config defines runs in status, diff and blame inside the sandbox; show <blob id> is documented.
3. I did not run the CLI suite locally. CI is green at this head.

Re-gate at ae10303 (head sha above), against my PASS at 885e8bf. The only change is one line in frontend/src/i18n/locales/zh-CN.json, the agentByo.listen.reachClaude string.

Checked against the zh-CN conventions the file and its i18n test state:

• "Pod" stays English with half-width spaces on both sides (每个 Pod 都, 你信任的 Pod 里).
• No em dash, and the sentence uses the Chinese comma.
• The 以…加入 purpose-clause calque is absent.
• 「社区」 is how the file renders Community in its other 16 uses, so the term is consistent.
• The meaning matches the English source: the folder-only default on macOS for all-private invite-only pods, the --allow write and --allow web opt-ins, the reach beyond the folder, and the trust condition at the end.
• The JSON parses, and the diff touches only that line.

Not run: the frontend Jest suite. The check above is by reading the line against the conventions and the source string. The repo has no glossary document, so the glossary rules are the ones the i18n test and the file state.
