All bw* wrappers share lib/bwrap_sandbox_lib.sh for sandbox construction.

bwrap_sandbox_lib.sh	Shared sandbox-building primitives for bw* wrappers	docs/bw-wrappers.md
gpg-passwd.sh	decrypt_env_file helper for GPG-encrypted env files	docs/gpg-passwd.md

These libraries are sourced, not executed. Each library's header comment documents its public function surface.

Deployment

n2snscripts is deployed by the NSLS-II Ansible base role:

• Cloned to /opt/nsls2/scripts on managed hosts.

• /etc/profile.d/n2snscripts.sh exports the following for login shells:

  Variable	Value
  N2SNSCRIPTS_BIN	/opt/nsls2/scripts/bin
  N2SNSCRIPTS_LIB	/opt/nsls2/scripts/lib

  and prepends $N2SNSCRIPTS_BIN to PATH.

Manual install on an unmanaged host:

git clone git@github.com:NSLS2/n2snscripts.git ~/n2snscripts
export N2SNSCRIPTS_BIN="${HOME}/n2snscripts/bin"
export N2SNSCRIPTS_LIB="${HOME}/n2snscripts/lib"
export PATH="${N2SNSCRIPTS_BIN}:${PATH}"

Add those three exports to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc for persistence.

Requirements

• bash >= 4.x (the bw* wrappers use [[ ]] and arrays)
• bubblewrap (bwrap) >= 0.4.0 for the bw* wrappers
  • 0.5.0+ enables --clearenv
  • 0.6.3+ enables bind-over-ro-bind binary masking
• gpg(1) for gpg-passwd.sh
• openssl(1) for pemdecompose
• python3 >= 3.9 (stdlib only, no pip dependencies) for azoidcapp
• az (Azure CLI) logged in via az login for azoidcapp
• gh(1) authenticated with admin:repo scope for gh-protect-branch

Usage

bw* sandboxed CLI wrappers

bwopencode [bwopencode-options] [opencode arguments...]
bwclaude   [bwclaude-options]   [claude arguments...]
bwcopilot  [bwcopilot-options]  [copilot arguments...]
bwcodex    [bwcodex-options]    [codex arguments...]

Common wrapper options:

Option	Effect
--help, -h	Show wrapper help plus the underlying tool's help
--dry-run	Print the bwrap command without executing it
--exec CMD	Run CMD inside the sandbox instead of the tool
--init-auth	Persist auth credentials to the host (first-time setup)
--new-session	Force bwrap --new-session (stricter isolation; breaks SIGWINCH)

bwclaude also supports --debug. See each script's --help for the authoritative option list.

gpg-passwd.sh

Source the library and call decrypt_env_file:

source "${N2SNSCRIPTS_LIB}/gpg-passwd.sh"
decrypt_env_file "$HOME/.private_env.gpg" AIFAPIM_HOST AIFAPIM_API_KEY

Behaviour:

• Decrypts the file with gpg --quiet --batch --yes --decrypt and evals the result into the current shell.
• Returns 0 on success, 0 (with warning) if the file is missing, 2 if a required variable is still empty after decrypt, 3 if gpg fails.

See the library header for the full contract.

azoidcapp

Create or reconcile an Azure Entra ID OIDC web application and its service principal. Sets an owner on both objects, ensures the standard OIDC delegated Microsoft Graph scopes (openid, email, profile, offline_access) plus the delegated User.Read scope, and grants tenant-wide admin consent for those delegated permissions.

The script is idempotent: re-running with the same --name is safe. Existing objects are reused; redirect URIs are unioned (never removed); permissions and consent are reconciled to the desired state.

Authentication reuses the current az CLI session — no additional credentials or Python packages are required.

azoidcapp --name NAME --owner UPN --redirect-uri URI [options]

Option	Effect
-n, --name NAME	Display name of the app registration (required)
-o, --owner UPN	Owner UPN/email resolved to an object ID (required)
-r, --redirect-uri URI	Web redirect URI; repeatable, minimum one
-t, --tenant TENANT	Tenant ID or domain for the az token request
--json	Emit a JSON result instead of a human-readable summary
-h, --help	Show help and exit

Example:

azoidcapp \
  --name "My OIDC App" \
  --owner alice@example.com \
  --redirect-uri https://app.example.com/callback \
  --redirect-uri https://app.example.com/silent-callback

Exit codes: 0 success, 1 usage error, 2 az missing or not logged in, 3 owner UPN not found, 4 a Microsoft Graph call failed.

Requires: az (Azure CLI, logged in via az login), python3 >= 3.9 (stdlib only — no pip dependencies).

pemdecompose

List certificates in a combined PEM file. Useful for inspecting outputs of the acme_certificates Ansible role (server.pem, server.combined.pem, server_chain.pem).

pemdecompose server.combined.pem            # subject, issuer, sigalg per cert
pemdecompose --verify server.pem            # also check chain order
pemdecompose server.pem server_chain.pem    # multiple files, with banners

Blank lines and non-PEM text between PEM blocks are tolerated. Private-key blocks in a combined file are skipped automatically (only certificate blocks are inspected).

--verify checks that each cert (except the last in the file) is issued by the next cert in the file, using openssl verify -partial_chain and a DN match between issuer(N) and subject(N+1). Validity dates are not part of the structural check, so expired roots do not cause --verify to fail.

Output is colourised when stdout is a TTY. Set NO_COLOR=1 or pass --no-color to suppress ANSI escapes.

Exit codes: 0 success, 1 usage error, 2 no certificates found in some file, 3 openssl parse error, 4 --verify failed for at least one chain link.

Requires only openssl.
