Task 0: implemented AGENTFLARE_SANDBOX_WRITABLE_HOME_DIRS runtime override in agentflare-jobs/sandbox.rs and flare-sandbox (Vec writable_home_dirs); build/tests/clippy/fmt all clean; awaiting commit.
Task 0: AGENTFLARE_SANDBOX_WRITABLE_HOME_DIRS runtime override implemented in agentflare-jobs/sandbox.rs and flare-sandbox; build/tests/clippy/fmt clean; review approved, scope confirmed contained to two crates.


Opened by claude-code on flared:51bb8de6c33b for item #256 via agentflare.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Sandbox configuration now supports additional writable home directories through the AGENTFLARE_SANDBOX_WRITABLE_HOME_DIRS environment variable.
    • Configured directories are trimmed and applied only when non-empty.
    • .agentflare and .local/share/lean-ctx are always available as writable locations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Sandbox settings are now evaluated for each invocation, ensuring environment changes are reflected without relying on stale configuration.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sandbox configuration now owns writable home-directory paths. Each sandbox call builds its configuration and appends trimmed, non-empty paths from AGENTFLARE_SANDBOX_WRITABLE_HOME_DIRS.

Changes

Sandbox runtime configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Owned sandbox configuration
crates/flare-sandbox/src/lib.rs, crates/flare-sandbox/src/bwrap/mod.rs
SandboxConfig.writable_home_dirs now uses Vec<String>. Bubblewrap code and test fixtures use the owned collection. Copy is no longer derived.
Runtime directory loading
crates/agentflare-jobs/src/sandbox.rs
Each call builds the sandbox configuration, keeps the built-in directories, appends trimmed environment entries, and passes the result to wrap. Tests cover configured and unset environment values.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to fd24f

Configured paths may expose host locations outside the intended home scope, and the new tests may fail deterministically. These issues should be resolved before merge.

Explanation

The description states the implementation scope and reports that build, test, Clippy, and formatting checks pass. However, it does not use the required Summary, Test plan, or Notes for reviewers sections, and it omits explicit risk and backwards-compatibility details.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add a Summary section explaining the change and reason, a Test plan section with the required checks marked as completed, and a Notes for reviewers section covering risk areas and backwards compatibility.

Reject paths that escape the intended home-directory scope.

/etc, ../.ssh, and . survive this parsing. Path::join then resolves them outside $HOME, or to all of $HOME. Bubblewrap receives a writable bind for that existing host path.

Allow only relative paths with at least one normal component. Reject parent-directory components. Add tests for absolute, parent-directory, and . entries.
