- Add docker risk markers config (config/docker_risk_markers.json) and load it in tools permission evaluation.
- In docker mode, pre-evaluate run_command/terminal_input: readonly-safe and no-risk -> direct run; otherwise require approval/auto-approval.
- Keep docker write_file/edit_file behavior aligned with agreed policy: approval requires review, auto_approval passes directly.
- Pass risk markers into auto approval payload and include current working directory context for approval agent.
- Fix permission dropdown layout: only use split two-column menu when execution mode section is enabled; remove empty right blank area in docker mode.
- Center mobile approval overlay to prevent sheet overflow on small screens.
This commit lands a broad host-security architecture update focused on enforceable sandbox execution, clearer permission semantics, and operator usability.
Core execution/security changes
- Introduce and wire a unified host sandbox runner for multi-OS execution:
- macOS: sandbox-exec
- Linux: bubblewrap + seccomp
- Windows: WSL2 path
- Remove silent fallback behavior in failure paths; sandbox-unavailable cases now fail closed instead of dropping to unsafe host execution.
- Ensure host execution mode (sandbox/direct) is propagated consistently into runtime components, including sub-agent startup.
Permission mode model upgrade
- Rework readonly/approval behavior for run_command from brittle command-text gating to execution-layer enforcement:
- readonly: run_command executes in read-only sandbox profile.
- approval: run_command first executes read-only; when permission-denied is detected, request approval and retry once with writable sandbox for that single call.
- Tool loop now returns final post-approval execution result, not intermediate permission-denied payloads.
- Update permission-mode system messaging to describe user-visible behavior without exposing internal implementation details.
Path authorization system
- Add dynamic host policy module and persisted policy file.
- Support dual path classes:
- writable_paths (read+write)
- readable_extra_paths (read-only)
- Enforce file access in file_manager by access type (read vs write) under host mode.
- Add host-only frontend 路径授权 management dialog (settings三级菜单入口), including mode switch between 可读可写 and 仅可读 with separate drafts and save flow.
Sub-agent and terminal alignment
- Sub-agent process launch now respects host execution mode and sandbox controls in host mode.
- Keep terminal session model compatible with sandbox-first behavior and execution-mode propagation.
Tool surface updates
- Remove legacy file-management tools from active tool definitions (create_file/create_folder/rename_file/delete_file) while preserving historical conversation compatibility.
Docs updates
- Add dedicated architecture doc: docs/host_sandbox_and_permission_model.md
- Refresh README and AGENTS sections to reflect updated permission/execution model and path-authorization semantics.
Validation performed
- python unittest smoke suite passes: test.test_server_refactor_smoke
- frontend build passes: npm run build
- syntax checks for touched Python modules completed
This commit introduces a substantial security and runtime architecture update for host mode, with three major goals: (1) enforce OS-level sandboxing by default, (2) support a controlled temporary direct-execution escape hatch for admin users, and (3) eliminate silent fallback behavior that could hide risk.
Backend/runtime changes:\n- Added a unified host sandbox runner (macOS sandbox-exec / Linux bubblewrap+seccomp / Windows WSL2).\n- Converted host terminal creation to sandboxed interactive shells by default.\n- Kept run_command/run_python on the same execution policy and added host execution mode plumbing (sandbox|direct).\n- Added session-scoped direct mode with TTL auto-revert (default 10 minutes), configurable via environment.\n- Added execution mode APIs (GET/POST /api/execution-mode), host+admin gating, status propagation, and rate limiting.\n- Added runtime refresh hooks so tool calls honor TTL expiration and mode transitions consistently.\n- Removed docker->host silent fallback paths: docker startup/runtime failures now fail fast instead of degrading silently.\n- Added host sandbox prompt injection (host-only) to guide agent behavior under permission constraints.
Configuration and policy changes:\n- Added HOST_EXECUTION_MODE_DEFAULT and HOST_EXECUTION_DIRECT_TTL_SECONDS.\n- Added HOST_SANDBOX_MACOS_WRITABLE_PATHS to support user-defined writable path allowlists.\n- Updated macOS sandbox profile generation to use minimal defaults (workspace + tmp + /dev/null) plus explicit allowlist extensions.\n- Updated .env.example documentation for new execution/sandbox controls.
Frontend changes:\n- Extended permission popover to a two-column model (Permission + Execution Environment) for host admin sessions.\n- Added execution mode state/options to app state, fetching, and status synchronization flows.\n- Added execution mode switching action and user feedback toasts.\n- Kept warning emphasis via text styling only (removed warning border per UX request).
Validation:\n- Python syntax checks passed for modified backend modules.\n- Existing smoke tests passed: python3 -m unittest test.test_server_refactor_smoke\n- Frontend production build passed: npm run build
