"Is this path inside that root" is asked in twenty places in this tree and
answered twenty times by a locally written realpath/commonpath pair. Nine test
files exist because nine call sites each needed their own proof. Each one is
defensible alone; together they are the defect, because the boundary has no
single definition and a site that gets a detail wrong is wrong by itself.
src/path_confinement.py is that definition, and it settles the details the
copies disagreed on. Both sides get canonicalized: comparing a realpath-ed
candidate against a root that was only abspath-ed is the macOS /tmp ->
/private/tmp mismatch that has already produced a false failure here, and
canonicalizing one side is worse than canonicalizing neither. commonpath rather
than startswith, because /a/bc begins with /a/b and is not inside it. A relative
candidate joins the root rather than os.getcwd(), which is whatever directory
the server happens to be running in. NUL and newline are refused with a reason
instead of caught by a bare `except Exception` and reported as an ordinary
escape. Eighteen call sites go through it now. It deliberately does not decide
whether a path is sensitive -- that deny list answers "allowed" rather than
"inside", and it stays with src/tool_execution, which owns it. The one
commonpath left in the tree, in src/workspace_paths.py, stays: that function
translates a host path into a container path, so canonicalizing either side
would change the relative path it computes and break the mapping. It is not a
confinement check.
Two of those sites were weaker than the rest and are fixed rather than moved.
The email attachment check used abspath, which folds `..` but does not resolve
symlinks, so a symlink written into the extraction directory passed it and was
then read through. The skill-reference guard compared a realpath-ed target
against a raw dirname, so on a host where the skills tree is reached through a
symlink the two sides never matched and the guard could not fire.
The execution boundary had two separate holes.
The workspace namespace bound /home and /mnt read-write. On the one platform
where that namespace engages at all, a command inside it reaches outside the
workspace and writes to the user's home directory -- measured by running this
argv on a Linux host with working bubblewrap, not inferred from the source.
Binding the user's whole home directory into a workspace-confinement namespace
gives back most of what the namespace was for. Both are read-only now. The
workspace is also bound writable at its real host path, not only at /workspace:
BashTool's own /tmp redirect rewrites `/tmp/` to `<agent_cwd()>/.tmp/` before
the namespace is built, so the command bwrap receives already names the real
path, and those writes previously landed only because the workspace happened to
sit under the writable /home.
`namespaced or _replace_workspace_alias(...)` chose between a mount namespace
and a regex with nothing in the result saying which one ran. The fallback
rewrites the literal token /workspace in the command string, so a command that
never mentions /workspace is untouched by it and runs on the host unrestricted
-- which is every agent shell command on macOS. Both tools now ask
containment.probe() instead of each deciding for itself, and every bash and
python result carries a containment block naming the mechanism and stating
whether the filesystem dimension actually held. Under enforcing mode the
command is not run and the result says so.
That block reports the filesystem dimension only, and says so in a
reported_dimensions field. The probe knows this host could also give a process
group and a real wall clock, but these two tools still assemble their own
create_subprocess_* call and pass neither, so listing those dimensions would be
exactly the false claim src/containment.py calls worse than an honest absence.
probe() is new on src/containment.py: the same mechanism table and the same
arithmetic as acquire(), stopping before the side effects. acquire() is the
wrong shape for a decision -- it writes a durable grant record, and a record
whose pid is never filled in and whose release() never runs is an entry a
restart reaper keeps finding.
CONTAINMENT_MODE stays report_only. Flipping it refuses every agent shell
command on macOS and on any Linux host without bubblewrap, which is a product
decision rather than a code one.
Smaller things in the same area: the /tmp redirect's makedirs was unguarded, so
a read-only workspace turned a command that merely mentioned `/tmp/` into an
OSError traceback instead of a tool error; it degrades now. WORKSPACE_MOUNT
moved to src/constants.py so the namespace and the path resolvers read one
definition of the contract rather than two. The ".tmp" dirname got a constant,
since it appeared in both tool paths.
One generated artifact moved with it: website/configuration-reference.md pins
the source line where each ODYSSEUS_* variable is read, and three of those
shifted. Regenerated with scripts/generate_env_reference.py; the diff is line
numbers only.
Three existing tests changed. test_workspace_artifact_tool_floor asserted that
an unsafe interpreter prefix produces no `--ro-bind <prefix> <prefix>`, which
now fires on /home because /home is legitimately a read-only base mount.
Asserting the absence of a literal flag string cannot distinguish "the prefix
was rejected" from "the argv mounted that root itself", so it compares the argv
against the no-prefix baseline instead: an unsafe prefix must add nothing.
The Windows bash test asserted dict equality on the
whole result, which makes adding a field to every bash result impossible without
touching a test about tmux; it asserts the shape now. The personal-dir symlink
test grepped the resolver's source for the literal "os.path.realpath", which is
gone because the resolution moved into the shared boundary -- it keeps the
negative assertion that the closure must not grow its own abspath check again,
and the behavioural half now runs against the boundary, where it covers every
call site instead of one closure.
Not verified: the bubblewrap argv is asserted, not executed. There is no bwrap
on macOS, and in Docker it needs --privileged to work at all -- default and
seccomp=unconfined both fail with "Creating new namespace failed", and
--cap-add=SYS_ADMIN fails at pivot_root. The Python tool's
needs_virtual_namespace gate means ordinary Python code gets no namespace even
on a Linux host that could provide one; that is reported now but deliberately
not changed, because it alters the Linux Python path on every call and cannot be
checked from here.
Agent-reachable execution has 25 independent spawn sites and no single
place deciding where a process runs or under what limits. All three
consequences are visible on this SHA. When bwrap is absent the workspace
namespace degrades to a regex that rewrites /workspace to the real path,
and nothing in the tool result says which one you got. No spawn site
passes start_new_session, so a wall-clock kill reaches the wrapper shell
and leaves its backgrounded grandchildren running while reporting the
process killed. Teardown stops at SIGTERM without ever checking death.
src/containment.py gives those paths one boundary. acquire() establishes
containment or refuses -- a string rewrite is not a mechanism it can
select -- and the grant states which dimensions actually hold, which were
best-effort and are missing, and which were required and are missing.
run() enforces the wall clock and the output cap. release() signals the
process group, escalates to SIGKILL, and reports dead only for a group it
observed go empty.
Containment never sees the command: acquire() takes a workspace and
limits, and the command text only reaches run(). Nothing in a request can
widen a boundary it is never shown.
CONTAINMENT_MODE chooses between refusing an unestablishable required
dimension and recording it. It ships report-only, so landing this changes
no behaviour on a host without bwrap -- which is every host today.
No call sites move here; they follow on this branch. The configuration
reference is regenerated because the page records src/constants.py line
numbers and the new path constant shifts two of them.
- Enforce outbound URL policy on all hops via bounded manual redirects in scholarly lookups
- Guard declared Content-Length in EditorDraftRoute before request body parsing
- Keep scholarly lookup timeouts and budgets as internal constants rather than surface env vars
- Narrow TUI threat-model description around demonstrable host shell bridge behavior
- Add behavioral regression tests for redirect security and pre-parsing body size guards
The arXiv and OpenAlex title resolvers called two hardcoded endpoints with a
hand-written "Odysseus/0.20" User-Agent, no outbound-URL policy, and a full
12s timeout each. APP_VERSION was already 1.0.3, so the agent string was wrong
the moment it was written, and a scholarly query could hold a user-facing
search open for the sum of all three hops.
Move the endpoints to named constants, build the User-Agent from APP_VERSION,
run both calls through check_outbound_url (they follow redirects, so the final
host is not the one in the constant), and give the whole SearXNG -> OpenAlex ->
arXiv chain one shared wall-clock budget.
The budget is a ContextVar rather than a parameter so the existing test doubles
for _openalex_title_results and _arxiv_title_results keep working unchanged.
* fix(security): keep agent file tools out of the app state directory
The agent's read tools (read_file, grep, glob, ls) resolved model-supplied
paths against a root list whose first entry was the whole data directory.
That directory holds the session store, the auth database, the app
encryption key and the settings file, so prompt-injected content could ask
for any of them. No approval prompt stood in the way: reads are classified
read_workspace and pass the untrusted-context gate untouched, which is
correct for reading a workspace and wrong for reading the app's own state.
The agent gets data/agent_workspace/ instead, and the subprocess cwd and
HOME move with it so bash and read_file agree on where scratch files live.
The deny itself is a property of the path, not of the root it arrived
through, because three routes reach the same bytes and closing only the
first leaves the other two working:
- the default root list
- a workspace bound at or above the data directory, which vet_workspace
accepted and chat_routes auto-binds from a path named in the message
- a tool_path_extra_roots setting covering the data directory
_resolve_search_root also returned the workspace root unchecked when the
path was empty, so a bare ls enumerated the directory whatever the deny
list said. It now resolves that case through the same guards.
A containment rule rather than a filename deny list, so state files added
later are covered without anyone remembering to list them, and so a user's
own settings.json or app.db inside a real workspace is not caught.
Four directories of user content stay readable, because the application
hands their paths to the model and tells it to open them: the chat upload
manifest, downloaded mail attachments, personal docs (which covers the
runbook) and personal uploads.

Keep dev version metadata aligned with the current hotfix release while the rolling branch continues toward 1.1.0.
Evidence: the canonical APP_VERSION imports as 1.0.3 and the diff check is clean. This commit changes version metadata only; it does not tag or publish a release.
* docs: update static/js/MODULE_SUMMARY.md to reflect current ES6 frontend
Rewrite the stale module summary to match the current no-build,
ES6-module frontend architecture. Adds coverage of app.js orchestration,
the chat/SSE pipeline (chat.js, chatStream.js, chatRenderer.js,
streamingRenderer.js), new subsystems (research/, compare/, document
streaming, cookbook*, skills.js), and removes the obsolete <script> load
order assumptions.
* cleanup: remove dead MEMORY_DOC / memory_doc paths (closes#4411)
Removes the unused MEMORY_DOC constant and the matching DataConfig
memory_doc field / set_data_paths entry. No runtime code imports or
references these paths, so this is a no-behavior-change dead-code
cleanup under the storage-architecture tracker #4377.
Added PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH and RESERVED_USERNAMES to src/constants.py as the
single source of truth. Previously PASSWORD_MIN_LENGTH was hardcoded as 8 in
four route handlers and all three JS validation paths; RESERVED_USERNAMES was
an inline frozenset duplicated in core/auth.py, routes/assistant_routes.py,
routes/research_routes.py, and src/task_scheduler.py.
Added GET /api/auth/policy (unauthenticated) so the frontend reads the real
values from the server instead of hardcoding them in JS.
Added missing empty-username guard to /setup and admin POST /users. Both
returned a misleading 500/409 on whitespace-only input. /signup already had the
check; this makes all three consistent.
docker-compose.yml injects FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH=${FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH:-},
which sets the variable to an empty string when the host has not defined it.
FASTEMBED_CACHE_DIR used os.getenv("FASTEMBED_CACHE_PATH", default), and
os.getenv only returns the default when the variable is ABSENT -- so the empty
value won and FASTEMBED_CACHE_DIR became "". os.makedirs("") then raised
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '', FastEmbed failed to initialise, and
every vector feature (RAG, semantic memory, tool index) silently degraded on
the default Docker stack.
Treat an empty value like an absent one via `os.getenv(...) or default`.
Add a regression test covering the empty, unset, and explicit cases.

The outbound UA for web_fetch / web_search was inlined in four places with
two different values and nothing keeping them current: content.py pinned a
mid-2021 Chrome 91 build, and providers.py sent a bare Mozilla/5.0 in three
spots. Some sites serve a degraded or blocked page to a UA that old.
Add WEB_FETCH_USER_AGENT to src/constants.py (env-overridable, matching the
existing Copilot/Kimi UA-constant pattern) and import it in content.py and
providers.py. Default to a current, common desktop UA so pages return their
normal HTML: the market-leading desktop OS (Windows; NT 10.0 covers Windows
10 and 11) and browser (Chrome) on a current stable build. The version is now
bumped in one place.
Service-specific self-identifying agents (Copilot, Kimi, webhooks, cookbook)
are intentionally left separate. Adds a regression pinning the constant shape,
the env override, and a guard against a new inline Mozilla literal in the
search sources.
Closes#4324
* fix(search): add download budgets to web_fetch with truncation notice and hard ceiling
MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS only trims what the agent sees; fetch_webpage_content
buffered and cached the entire response body first, so a large or hostile
URL could pull arbitrarily many bytes into memory and the content cache.
The fetch is now a capped streaming GET (SSRF redirect guard unchanged):
a soft default budget (WEB_FETCH_SOFT_MAX_BYTES, 2 MB), a per-call
override via full/max_bytes on the web_fetch tool, and a hard ceiling
(WEB_FETCH_HARD_MAX_BYTES, 20 MB) that the override can never exceed.
When Content-Length already declares a body over the ceiling the fetch
is refused before any body bytes are buffered. Truncated results carry
truncated/fetched_bytes/total_bytes, the tool output leads with a
partial-content notice telling the model how to re-fetch with full=true,
and the tool schema documents the flag. A truncated PDF is reported as
a budget error since a cut PDF is unparseable. The effective cap is part
of the content-cache key so a truncated fetch is never served to a
full-budget request.
Existing tests that faked httpx.get or the old _get_public_url signature
are adapted to the streaming interface; behavior pins are unchanged.
Fixes#3812
* fix(search): close compressed-body cap bypass and protect the partial notice
Addresses RaresKeY's review on #3955:
- Force Accept-Encoding: identity for the capped fetch. With gzip/deflate the
wire bytes (and Content-Length) can be a fraction of the decoded body, so a
tiny compressed response could pass the hard-cap preflight and then expand
past the ceiling in a single decoded chunk before the streamed cap could
slice it. Identity makes Content-Length the true body size and keeps each
streamed chunk bounded by the network read, so the hard ceiling actually
bounds memory.
- Lead web_fetch output with the partial-content notice and cap the page
title. The notice is the user-facing contract for partial fetches, but the
title is untrusted, uncapped page content; placed ahead of the notice a giant
title could push it past MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS and drop it. The notice now leads
and the title is capped as a second guard.
Adds regressions: the fetch advertises identity encoding, and a truncated
result with an oversized title still surfaces the partial notice.
* fix(search): reject compressed responses that ignore the identity request
Requesting Accept-Encoding: identity is not enough on its own: a server can
ignore it and still return Content-Encoding: gzip, and httpx.iter_bytes would
decode that, so a tiny compressed body could balloon into one decoded chunk
far past the hard cap before the streamed loop slices it (and Content-Length,
the compressed wire length, makes the preflight and size metadata unreliable).
Refuse a non-identity Content-Encoding before reading the body. Adds a
regression where the server ignores the identity request and returns gzip;
the fetch is refused before any body is decoded.

MAX_OUTPUT_CHARS, MAX_READ_CHARS, and MAX_DIFF_LINES are now
defined once in src/constants.py and imported by the three files
that previously duplicated them (tool_execution.py,
tool_implementations.py, agent_tools.py). agent_tools.py re-exports
them for backward compatibility.
