Agent37 deployability: name an unusable workdir, and close the three userspace bootstrap gaps - #42

…command
`composeScript` emitted `cd <dir> || exit 1`, which is indistinguishable from
the command's own exit 1. That ambiguity has already produced a wrong finding:
a lane pointed an Agent37 instance at `workdir: '/root'`, watched ten unrelated
probes all return exit 1, and recorded that `/root` did not exist. It exists —
`drwx------ root root`, unreachable by the template's `node` user (uid 1000) —
and every one of those exit 1s was the `cd`, not the command. Re-pointed at
`/home/node`, all ten passed.
The `cd` now writes a marker to stderr and exits a sentinel status, and
`runScript` reclassifies that pair into `Agent37WorkdirUnusableError`, which
names the instance and the directory. Both signals are required before
reclassifying: a command is free to exit 191, and a command is free to print
the marker, so neither alone is proof.
The emitted line is POSIX `sh` rather than bash, because Agent37's exec plane
is dash — measured, not assumed: `${PIPESTATUS[0]}` comes back there as
`Bad substitution`.

…serspace A live Agent37 run found three things missing between a bare image and a box an agent can work on. None of the three needs root, and none of the three is a provider fault. - `buildRelayfileMountLinkShell` puts `relayfile-mount` on PATH from the copy `agent-relay` already vendors as `@relayfile/mount-<platform>-<arch>`. No download. Resolution walks up from the package directory rather than joining a fixed path, because npm is free to hoist that dependency. - `buildGhInstallShell` installs `gh` from the vendor's release tarball into a user-writable directory; measured at about three seconds, moving `gh --version` from exit 127 to exit 0. `gh auth status` then returns exit 1, which is a credential failure and deliberately not this snippet's job. An optional `sha256` is verified before anything is extracted. - `buildClaudeConfigSeedShell` completes Claude Code's first-run onboarding and approves the key the agent will use. A freshly spawned agent came up on the OAuth screen while holding a live key, because a clean `~/.claude.json` had recorded that key's tail under `customApiKeyResponses.rejected`. The seeder moves the tail out of `rejected` into `approved`, so it repairs an already poisoned config rather than only helping a pristine one, and it reads the key from an env var inside the sandbox so no credential is rendered into the built command. Every snippet is POSIX `sh`: Agent37's exec plane is dash. The tests execute the generated shell under `/bin/sh` rather than string-matching it — including a fabricated npm root for the hoisted and nested layouts, a `file://` release tarball, a checksum mismatch, and a home directory whose name contains shell metacharacters. `docs/agent37.md` records the measured template: `defaultHomeDir` must be `/home/node`; `mount | grep relayfile` is empty on a healthy box on both providers and is not a valid test; and `mkdir /opt` is denied on Daytona too, so it is not an Agent37 property and should stop being logged as one.

…validation Six related defects flagged by cubic + codex + coderabbit on #42, all in the userspace bootstrap snippets: - buildRelayfileMountLinkShell honored `searchRoots` in name only: npm's global root was always searched first, so a stale global agent-relay silently won the resolver race over any explicitly named root. When the caller supplies searchRoots, do not consult `npm root -g` at all. - buildRelayfileMountLinkShell rejected linkNames containing `/` but let `.` and `..` through, and `ln -sf src ..` follows the directory and drops the link one level above the bin dir. Reject both. - Both link and gh installers reported success as soon as `command -v <name>` was non-empty, so a same-named binary earlier on PATH silently won over the one that was just placed. Verify the resolved path equals `${binDir}/${name}` and fail loud otherwise. - `gh --version | head -1` masked a nonzero `gh` exit because dash has no `pipefail` and `head` still exits 0, so a broken install looked fine. Capture the output first, propagate `gh`'s status, then trim to the first line for the printed sanity check. - buildClaudeConfigSeedShell wrapped `JSON.parse` output with `||{}`, which silently coerced bare JSON `null`, `false`, `0`, and `""` to `{}` — the shape validation never saw them and the file was clobbered. Drop the coercion; the existing non-object check catches every invalid form. - `fs.writeFileSync(p, ..., { mode: 0o600 })` only applies the mode when the file is being created, so a rewritten config kept its prior permissions and the API-key tail was left behind mode 0644. Follow the write with an explicit `chmodSync(p, 0o600)`. Tests cover each of the six changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…tinel Reclassifying an exit as Agent37WorkdirUnusableError already required BOTH the sentinel exit code and the marker string in the output, on the theory that no honest command would produce both together. That theory is wrong: a command can trivially printf '%s\\n' '__agent37_workdir_unusable__' >&2; exit 191 on a valid cwd where `cd` succeeded, and the runtime would misreport that command as a workdir fault it never was. Close the gap where the collision actually lives: the sentinel line. composeScript now emits a marker of the form `__agent37_workdir_unusable__<32-hex-nonce>` chosen fresh per call, and runScript compares against that exact string. The stable prefix stays exported for humans reading raw output; the nonce guarantees a running command cannot reproduce the full sentinel because it never sees it. New test in Agent37Runtime.runScript proves a command that prints the bare prefix and exits 191 is NOT reclassified. Existing coverage of the "requires both" invariant and of the "no cd, no reclassify" path still holds unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…fixes Three P2 issues cubic surfaced when it re-reviewed the fix batch on #42: - `binDir` with a trailing slash produced an expected path with `//` which `command -v` never matches, because the shell normalizes the PATH entry it resolves. A perfectly good `relayfile-mount` or `gh` install was reported as shadowed. Strip trailing slashes when constructing `linkPath` / `ghPath`. - The per-invocation workdir-unusable nonce closes the accidental collision, but a hostile command inside the sandbox can still recover the nonce from `/proc/self/cmdline` and forge the exit code + marker pair. Add an out-of-band verification: on the ambiguous 191+marker case, re-issue `cd <cwd>` in a fresh exec that runs no user command. If that probe also fails, this really was a workdir fault; otherwise the in-band signals were a spoof and the result stays a plain command failure. The extra exec runs only in the ambiguous case, so the common path pays no cost. Tests cover the trailing-slash accept path for the link builder and add a spoof scenario where the command echoes the recovered nonce and the probe reports the cwd as healthy — the runtime must NOT reclassify. The existing "names an unusable workdir" test now also asserts the probe was sent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Cubic raised three related concerns on the previous marker-and-post-probe design: - A user command that mutates its own cwd after entering it (deletes, chmods away access) causes the POST-execution probe to see a broken directory and misclassify a command that actually ran as Agent37WorkdirUnusableError. - When the caller passes `requestTimeoutMs`, the post-probe was unbounded and could outlive the caller's wait budget. - A probe response that omits `exit_code` was treated as a workdir failure (`null !== 0`), so a malformed reply could manufacture a reclassification. The common thread is that no in-band signal — marker, nonce, exit code, or subsequent probe — can survive a user command that has full uid access to the same environment. Move the verification BEFORE the user command runs: on any `cwd`, `runScript` issues a plain `cd '<cwd>'` through a fresh exec first. If that returns a KNOWN nonzero exit, throw Agent37WorkdirUnusableError immediately and never run the user script. Otherwise proceed with the composed script. This removes the whole class of "user command can spoof or invalidate the classifier" concerns: - The probe runs no user script, so the sandbox has no material with which to interpose on the probe's exit code. - The user command executes after the probe, so anything it does to the cwd afterwards cannot retroactively affect the classification. - Both exec calls carry the caller's `requestTimeoutMs`, so the total wait is bounded consistently with the previous single-exec behavior. - Only a KNOWN nonzero exit triggers reclassification; unknown responses fall through to the user command, whose own outcome speaks. Consequences for the surface: - composeScript no longer accepts a `workdirUnusableMarker` option and no longer emits any in-band marker; the cd guard is now a plain `cd '<cwd>' || exit 191` so a race between the probe and the exec cannot let the user command run in the shell's inherited directory. - `AGENT37_WORKDIR_UNUSABLE_MARKER` stays exported for backward-compat and is documented as deprecated. `makeWorkdirUnusableMarker` and `probeCwdUnusable` are removed — nothing consumes them. Tests exercise the new shape: pre-probe fires before any user command when a cwd is set; the /root regression case throws with only the probe having run; a hostile command that fakes exit 191 + the deprecated marker prefix is reported as an ordinary command failure; a probe with no exit_code does NOT trigger reclassification; and `requestTimeoutMs` carries through to both exec calls.

…exec Cubic flagged that passing `options.requestTimeoutMs` verbatim to both the pre-execution cwd probe and the composed script's exec lets `runScript` wait up to 2× the caller's timeout on any cwd-required call — the caller's contract says "wait at most requestTimeoutMs", not "wait at most requestTimeoutMs per hop". Capture a single start timestamp when `requestTimeoutMs` is set, then pass the REMAINING budget (`requestTimeoutMs - elapsed`) to each downstream `execRaw`. If the probe consumes the entire budget, floor the second call at 1ms rather than 0 — the client treats `<= 0` as "no timeout at all", which would silently uncancel an already-expired request; 1ms makes the abort fire immediately instead.

Implements items 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the Agent37 deployability plan. Item 4 is the relay-side workspace/node-identity fix and is owned by
relay-ws-node-identity-0825inAgentWorkforce/relay— no file overlap, and nothing here depends on it landing. Item 6 is a decision, not a task; the number it needs is at the bottom.Every fact below was measured on 2026-08-25 against one live Agent37 instance and one live Daytona sandbox, both created and destroyed in the same run.

1 — Stop launching at
/rootScope note first, because it changes what this commit could be. There is no
workdir: '/root'literal in this repository to delete.defaultHomeDiris a required constructor argument with no default, by design — the package ships no defaults. The/rootthat caused the failure lived in the lane's own harness. So the fix here is the part that belongs to the package, and it is the part that made the mistake possible in the first place.composeScriptemittedcd <dir> || exit 1. That is indistinguishable from the command's own exit 1, and the ambiguity has already produced a wrong finding that propagated: ten unrelated probes againstworkdir: '/root'all returned exit 1, and the conclusion recorded was "/rootdoes not exist". It does exist —drwx------ root root, unreachable by the template'snodeuser (uid 1000). Re-pointed at/home/node, all ten passed.A failed
cdnow raisesAgent37WorkdirUnusableErrornaming the instance and the directory. Reclassification requires both a sentinel exit status and a stderr marker: a command is free to exit 191, and a command is free to print the marker, so neither alone is proof.The emitted line is POSIX
sh, not bash. Agent37's exec plane is dash — measured, not assumed:${PIPESTATUS[0]}comes back there asBad substitution, which is how a step that looks like it succeeded quietly does nothing.docs/agent37.mdcarries the correction in prose, since the description matters for anyone reading the old note: unreachable, not missing. "Missing" sends you to the image; "unreachable" sends you to the one line of caller configuration that actually causes it.2 —
relayfile-mounton PATHbuildRelayfileMountLinkShellsymlinks the daemon thatagent-relayalready vendors as@relayfile/mount-<platform>-<arch>. No download, no root. A box with the CLI already has the binary; it just is not on PATH, which is whycommand -v relayfile-mountis empty on Agent37 while Daytona's image has it at/usr/local/bin/relayfile-mount.Resolution walks up from the
agent-relaypackage directory rather than joining a fixed path, because npm is free to hoist that dependency to a highernode_modules— both layouts are covered by tests. When the binary genuinely is not there the snippet exits non-zero with a specific message, so a bootstrap fails loudly instead of leaving a box whose mount fails later for a reason nobody connects to this step.3 —
ghin userspacebuildGhInstallShelldrops the release tarball into a user-writable directory. Measured at about three seconds, movinggh --versionfrom exit 127 to exit 0 at 2.82.1. Architecture is resolved at run time fromuname -m, so one built command serves amd64 and arm64.gh auth statusthen returns exit 1 ("not logged into any GitHub hosts"). That is a credential failure and deliberately not this snippet's job — a present binary with no credential is a different failure from a missing binary, and only the second is 127. Worth keeping the two apart in any report.The same trick would close Daytona's
ghgap today. Daytona is still exit 127, observed in this run onrelay-orchestrator-sdk-11.8.2-relayfile-v0.10.49-runtime-4.1.41— cloud#3163 is merged but not in effect without a snapshot rebuild plus an SSM pin move. That rebuild is dispatched separately and is not part of this PR; the point is only that nobody has to wait for it if they needghon a Daytona box sooner.An optional
sha256is verified before anything is extracted. It is optional rather than required because the digest is per-version-per-arch, so a caller pinning one arch can supply it and a caller that does not, cannot. Without it the snippet installs an unverified binary onto an agent's PATH, which the docstring says plainly.5 — Seed
~/.claude.jsonA freshly spawned agent came up on the OAuth sign-in screen while holding a live key — verified valid against the API from inside the same box. The cause was in
~/.claude.json: the key's identifying tail had been recorded undercustomApiKeyResponses.rejected, so the CLI declined it and fell back to interactive login. On a headless box that is a hang, not a prompt.buildClaudeConfigSeedShellsetshasCompletedOnboardingand moves the tail out ofrejectedintoapproved— so it repairs an already-poisoned config, not only a pristine one. It merges rather than overwrites (a box may carry machine ids and migration flags that matter), writes 0600, and refuses a config file that is not a JSON object rather than clobbering it. Only the tail of this key moves; another key's rejection is not ours to undo.The key is read from an env var inside the sandbox, so no credential is rendered into the built string, an argv list, or a log — the same ingress rule
mount-script.tsapplies to the relayfile token.This is provider-independent and will bite every fresh box.
Tests

Covered: a fabricated npm root in both nested and hoisted layouts, a stale symlink being re-linked over, afile://release tarball, a checksum mismatch aborting before extraction, a home directory whose name contains shell metacharacters, no-bashisms, andsh -nparse checks on every snippet.Two corrections to the record

Nothing needs it: npm's global prefix is already/home/node/.npm-globaland already on PATH.mount | grep -i relayfileis not a valid test. It returns empty with exit 1 on a healthy Agent37 box, and returns exactly the same on Daytona, where the mount is in daily production use.relayfile-mountis a userspace sync daemon, not a kernel or FUSE mount.

Neither is a sandbox fault.Item 6 — the number, for Khaliq to rule on
Runtime bootstrap on a bare Agent37 box was about 50 seconds of npm:
agent-relay@11.8.3in 46 s, then@anthropic-ai/claude-codeandrelayfilein 5 s. Add ~3 s forghand effectively zero for therelayfile-mountsymlink. Instance create was 15,390 ms on top of that.Daytona's comparison is not like-for-like: its image ships
agent-relayandrelayfile-mountprebuilt, and create came back in 1,542 ms from a warm snapshot.So the question is a prebuilt Agent37 template versus ~50 s of runtime install per box. Not deciding that here. One input worth having: whether Agent37 supports custom templates at all is still UNKNOWN — only three provider system templates were listed and template creation was never attempted.
Not merging.
