Add an OpenShell sandbox backend with a per-tenant box registry - #8511
BoxRegistry (sandbox/openshell/registry.rs): one box per Tenant, created on first use and reused after that.
Creation is single-flight, so concurrent first commands make one box.
Idle boxes are reaped after idle_ttl_secs (900) and never while a command is running.
max_live (50) caps how many run at once. A full registry reaps idle boxes first, then refuses with a capacity error that reads well as a tool result.
Turning it on: an operator sets [sandbox] backend = "openshell" and configures [runtime.openshell] (image, cpu_millis, memory_mb, idle_ttl_secs, max_live). apply_requested_backend maps it to SandboxBackendKind::OpenShell, and command_requires_sandbox counts it, so the shell tool routes to it.
Problem
Hosts that run agents for many users (an embedded chat bot, say) need each user's commands confined to that user's own isolated computer, kept between turns and off the host machine. None of the existing backends does this:
Local jail: runs on the host.
Docker: throws the container away after every command, and has to run on the same machine.
OpenShell provides isolated sandboxes behind a gateway: Kubernetes pods, Landlock and seccomp, and outbound network denied by default. What was missing was a lifecycle that keeps one box per tenant, reclaims idle ones and bounds the total.
Solution
Keyed on the whole Tenant, never profile_only(). Embedded hosts run one agent per end user with profile: None, so keying on the profile would put every such user in one shared box. NoTenant is refused before any box is touched.
Locking: a std mutex guards the map and is never held across an .await. Each tenant's slot has its own async gate for creation.
A slot that is released, reaped or shut down is marked retired, so a command still running in it can't start a box nobody tracks (BoxError::Released).
Deadlines: a command runs as timeout -k 5 <secs> sh -c <cmd>, so the box enforces its own limit.
Backstop: the host waits up to the deadline plus 10 s. A box that hasn't answered by then is closed, because its state is unknown, and the command is reported as timed out.
exec_within: a new wrapper around tinybox's exec that takes a reply deadline from the caller. Without it the normal exec call gives up after 300 s, but shell commands can be allowed longer.
Lost boxes:
Detection: TinyBox's UnknownResource error name doesn't make it through the bus client, which reduces every module error to a generic category. So after a failed exec the driver calls Inspect on the box. A box the module no longer knows, or one that can no longer take commands, is closed and replaced once, and the command is retried.
Closing first: because the box may still exist on the gateway, it is closed before it is replaced (a_box_reported_gone_is_still_closed_before_it_is_replaced).
What reaches the box: no host paths and no host environment. Commands run in the box's own /sandbox, with only the request's own variables: explicit command env plus the Git and Python defaults.
Doctor: reports OpenShell as skipped, since no box exists until a tenant's first command.
Tradeoffs and limits
Registry settings: the process-wide registry is built from the first command's config, so changes to idle_ttl_secs and max_live need a restart. Image and limits apply to each new box.
Exit 124: a command that exits 124 on its own is reported as timed out, since that is timeout's status.
Not in this PR:
openshell::shutdown() isn't called from core shutdown yet. release and shutdown are public for hosts.
Boxes left behind by a crash aren't adopted or cleaned up on boot.
No environment overrides for the new settings.
Default image:ghcr.io/nvidia/openshell-community/sandboxes/base:latest. It exists and is Ubuntu-based, so timeout is present, but the tag is unpinned and operators should pin it.
Per file: registry.rs 97%, types.rs 100%, runtime_openshell.rs 100%, bus_driver.rs 85%.
openshell/mod.rs is 57%: the process-wide registry over the real bus needs a loaded module.
Coverage matrix updated: N/A, this adds a backend option, not a matrix feature row.
Affected feature IDs listed: N/A, no matrix row.
No new external network dependencies in tests: everything runs against the scripted driver.
Manual smoke checklist: N/A, the backend is opt-in and off by default.
Linked issue: N/A, no tracking issue.
Impact
Off by default: nothing changes unless an operator selects backend = "openshell". SaaS mode's Docker path is untouched.
New config:[runtime.openshell] and the openshell value for [sandbox] backend. The settings RPC accepts it.
New static: one process-wide registry, recorded in scripts/ci/process-statics.json. Its reaper is one background task, recorded in scripts/ci/saas-ambient-baseline.json.
Wire the new tinybox-openshell crate into the workspace lockfile so the core crate can depend on it.

Adds an `[runtime.openshell]` section describing the image, CPU, memory, idle TTL and live-box cap for boxes created by the OpenShell sandbox backend, along with an `openshell` variant of the sandbox backend enum. This lets the TinyBox module be configured from the core config file instead of hardcoded defaults.

Introduce a BoxRegistry that keeps one live box per tenant, creating it on first use and reusing it for later commands. Slots are retired when released or reaped so in-flight commands cannot resurrect untracked boxes, and a backstop closes boxes that stop answering past the command deadline.

Moved the entry lookup, idle reaping, and in-flight counting out of check_out into a dedicated hold method that returns the slot or a capacity signal along with the reaped boxes. This keeps the async checkout path focused on closing reaped boxes and building the lease while the synchronous bookkeeping stays in one place.

Wire up the OpenShell sandbox backend so sandboxed shell commands run in a long-lived box per tenant instead of a fresh container per command, letting files persist across invocations. The registry creates one box per tenant, reaps idle boxes, caps live boxes, and refuses commands with no tenant scope.

Add an OpenShell variant to the sandbox backend enum and wire it through settings parsing, doctor checks, and backend selection. Backend name mapping is now shared between reading and applying settings so the new variant is accepted consistently, and OpenShell counts as an explicit isolation requirement when deciding whether a command needs sandboxing.

Completeness: Incomplete Test assessment: Test coverage is assessed from changed tests and lane evidence; execution is not claimed without trusted check data.
What changed
Operators can select `SandboxBackend::OpenShell` (wire name `openshell`) and configure image, CPU millis, memory MiB, idle TTL, and `max_live` under `[runtime.openshell]`; defaults are the OpenShell community base image, 1 core, 256 MiB, 900 s idle TTL, and 50 live boxes. Sandbox policy resolution for this backend drops Docker overrides and all read-only/read-write host mounts, command execution routes to `sandbox::openshell::execute` with the come-back time as a deadline, the settings RPC parses the new name, sandbox requirement detection counts the backend, the backend handle reports Ready without a backend id, and doctor skips the backend with a note that the gateway is reached on the first box creation. The process holds one registry built from the first command's config; a background reaper closes idle boxes, capacity failures return a readable tool-result error, unknown boxes are closed and replaced once, and a backstop closes a box that does not answer by deadline plus 10 s. `openshell::shutdown()` is not wired into core shutdown, and the pinned TinyBox module release does not yet serve the backend. The latest-push-delta section is unavailable, so no push-scoped change description is given.
Features
Added — Per-tenant box registry lifecycle: Keeps one box per whole tenant (refusing calls with no tenant), makes creation single-flight, reuses boxes, reaps idle boxes on a background task, enforces max_live with reap-then-refuse behavior, retires slots on release/shutdown so in-flight commands cannot create an untracked box, closes and replaces a lost box once, and reports non-answering boxes as timed out while enforcing command deadlines via `timeout -k 5 ... sh -c`. (crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/registry.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/mod.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/types.rs)
Added — TinyBox bus driver and caller-supplied exec deadline: Implements box create/exec/close over the TinyBox module with network denied, no ports, no host env, and an Inspect-based classification of failed execs; adds `exec_within` so a long command can wait past the default module call timeout under a caller-chosen reply deadline. (crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/bus_driver.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/tinybox/operations.rspub async fn exec()
Added — OpenShell runtime configuration and backend variant: Adds the `[runtime.openshell]` table (image, cpu_millis, memory_mb, idle_ttl_secs, max_live) with documented defaults and a memory-to-bytes conversion, wires it into `RuntimeConfig`, and adds the `openshell` variant to the sandbox backend enum. (crates/openhuman-core/src/config/schema/runtime_openshell.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/schema/runtime.rspub struct RuntimeConfig {, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/schema/security.rspub enum SandboxBackend {)
Modified — Sandbox policy routing for the OpenShell backend: Selecting the OpenShell backend sets the policy kind and clears Docker overrides and host mounts, counts as an explicit sandbox requirement so the shell tool routes to it, and yields a Ready handle with no backend id or isolation posture. (crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/ops/policy.rspub async fn create_sandbox_backend_with_config(, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/policy.rspub fn route_for_mode(, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/policy.rspub(crate) async fn should_plan_command()
Modified — OpenShell plan/executor plumbing and execution routing: Declares the `tinybox-openshell` container executor as available and routes a command to the tenant box, refuses an OpenShell plan that requests network, and runs the command with the come-back time treated as a deadline. (crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/ops/exec.rspub(crate) async fn execute_in_sandbox_yielding(, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/plan.rspub enum PlannedExecutor {, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/spawn_plan/executors.rspub(crate) fn docker(available: bool) -> SandboxExecutor2 {, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/spawn_plan/mod.rsfn options(policy: &SandboxPolicy, host_run: bool) -> SandboxPlanOptions2 {, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/spawn_plan/mod.rsasync fn probe()
Modified — Doctor reporting for the OpenShell backend: Doctor now returns a Skipped finding for the OpenShell backend, stating that the gateway is reached when a tenant's first box is created, rather than probing on the host. (crates/openhuman-core/src/doctor/checks/sandbox.rsimpl SandboxBackendCheck {)
Internal refactor — Sandbox backend name/parse helpers and CI records: Centralizes backend wire names for settings reads and patches so `openshell` round-trips and unknown names are rejected with the valid list, and records the new process-wide registry and reaper spawn in the process-statics and saas-ambient baselines. (crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops/sandbox.rspub async fn apply_sandbox_settings(, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops/sandbox.rspub async fn get_sandbox_settings(ctx: &DispatchCtx) -> Result<Outcome<serde_jso, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/mod.rspub use schema::{, scripts/ci/process-statics.json, scripts/ci/saas-ambient-baseline.json)

tests
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Lane summary: This adds an OpenShell sandbox backend (tenant-keyed box registry, bus driver, config table, plan/executor wiring) and carries a substantial, behaviour-focused test suite: registry lifecycle (single-flight create, reuse, reap, capacity, release/shutdown, backstop, retry-once), secret-free box creation, and explicit refusal of firejail/bubblewrap/unknown backend names. I found no defect that meets the reporting bar; the crate-wide exhaustive matches on `SandboxBackend`/`SandboxBackendKind` are covered by the new tests, though the bus-connected `BusBoxDriver` (behind the `modules` feature) has no test exercising the real module call path. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `9cd6ca95d9ac`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

Walkthrough
This change adds an OpenShell sandbox backend with runtime configuration and tenant-scoped box management through TinyBox. It connects the backend to sandbox planning and command execution, and adds tests and documentation for configuration, routing, box lifecycle, and execution behavior.
Changes: OpenShell sandbox backend
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Runtime configuration and backend names crates/openhuman-core/src/config/schema/*, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/ops/sandbox*, crates/openhuman-core/src/config/mod.rs
Adds [runtime.openshell] settings with defaults and checked memory conversion. Adds OpenShell backend parsing and serialization, and exports the configuration types and constants.
Box contracts and registry lifecycle crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/types.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/registry*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/scripted_driver_fixture.rs, scripts/ci/saas-ambient-baseline.json
Adds box settings, request and output types, the driver contract, and a tenant-keyed registry. The registry reuses boxes, handles deadlines and capacity, retries unknown resources, and supports reaping, release, and shutdown. Tests cover these paths.
TinyBox driver and execution entry crates/openhuman-core/src/modules/tinybox/operations.rs, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/openshell/*, scripts/ci/process-statics.json
Adds exec_within and a TinyBox-backed driver. OpenShell execution validates tenant scope and environment values, initializes a process-wide registry when modules are enabled, and exposes release and shutdown operations.
Sandbox selection and command integration crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/{types.rs,policy.rs,plan.rs,README.md}, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/ops/*, crates/openhuman-core/src/sandbox/spawn_plan/*, crates/openhuman-core/src/doctor/checks/sandbox*
Adds OpenShell routing and planning. Plans with the OpenShell executor require denied networking; command execution passes the command, environment, and capped timeout to OpenShell. Backend creation returns a ready handle, and the doctor check reports a skipped finding.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 9cd6c
OpenShell is opt-in and off by default, so the blast radius is limited. Before merge, resolve the open network-enforcement concern, align the planned working directory with the /sandbox execution directory, and stop reporting Ready in builds without module support.

- Around line 29-38: Update BoxSettings::from_config to reject a blank image and
zero cpu_millis or memory_mb with a clear configuration error before creating
box settings. Update RegistryLimits::from_config to clamp max_live and
idle_ttl_secs to at least 1, so the registry always admits a box and preserves a
positive idle lifetime.
Review comments at @vendor/tinybox:
- Line 1: Update BusBoxDriver::create and the TinyBox OpenShellSandbox::create
integration so a requested NetworkPolicy::Denied is enforced with an explicit
deny-only policy when supported; otherwise, reject this backend unless its
effective network policy can be verified as deny-all, rather than reporting
enforcement based on the gateway default.

…ry limits
BoxSettings::from_config now returns an InvalidConfig error when the image is blank or cpu_millis or memory_mb is zero, instead of letting a broken box be created. RegistryLimits::from_config raises zero idle_ttl_secs and max_live to 1 so a zero value cannot reap every box immediately or refuse every command.

@senamakel heads-up: the CI Fast (EX63) run for this branch (https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman/actions/runs/41046960052) had been stuck for about 2 hours at its Save Tinymold cache step on ex63-3, holding one of the three shared EX63 machines, so it was force-cancelled to let a queued tinyhumansai/chottu-core staging deploy through. The lane's own work had finished; only the cache save hung. Please re-run it when convenient.

Bind the OpenShell plan to /sandbox.
SpawnOperation records the caller's host working_dir, but OpenShell executes with cwd: "/sandbox". TinySecurity receives this operation in operation_json and consumes the matching plan, so the plan and audit identity can describe a different cwd from the executed command.
Normalize the operation cwd to /sandbox before planning for OpenShell. Do not pass the host path to OpenShell. Commands requiring the host workspace are not part of this issue because OpenShell uses its own workspace.

Do not report Ready when module support is disabled.
When the modules feature is disabled, openshell::execute always returns an unavailable error. The status path can still resolve the configured OpenShell backend and return SandboxStatus::Ready.
Keep lazy gateway probing for module-enabled builds. Return Inactive or Error for builds without module support, and update the status test for that configuration.

Summary
openshell: each tenant gets one long-lived NVIDIA OpenShell box, reached through TinyBox'sopenshellbackend (Add an OpenShell sandbox backend driven through the openshell CLI tinybox#136, refactor: migrate memory service to controller registry #138). OpenHuman has had nothing that keeps a sandbox alive between calls; Docker runs one container per command.BoxRegistry(sandbox/openshell/registry.rs): one box perTenant, created on first use and reused after that.idle_ttl_secs(900) and never while a command is running.max_live(50) caps how many run at once. A full registry reaps idle boxes first, then refuses with a capacity error that reads well as a tool result.[sandbox] backend = "openshell"and configures[runtime.openshell](image,cpu_millis,memory_mb,idle_ttl_secs,max_live).apply_requested_backendmaps it toSandboxBackendKind::OpenShell, andcommand_requires_sandboxcounts it, so the shell tool routes to it.Problem
Hosts that run agents for many users (an embedded chat bot, say) need each user's commands confined to that user's own isolated computer, kept between turns and off the host machine. None of the existing backends does this:
OpenShell provides isolated sandboxes behind a gateway: Kubernetes pods, Landlock and seccomp, and outbound network denied by default. What was missing was a lifecycle that keeps one box per tenant, reclaims idle ones and bounds the total.
Solution
Tenant, neverprofile_only(). Embedded hosts run one agent per end user withprofile: None, so keying on the profile would put every such user in one shared box.NoTenantis refused before any box is touched.stdmutex guards the map and is never held across an.await. Each tenant's slot has its own async gate for creation.BoxError::Released).timeout -k 5 <secs> sh -c <cmd>, so the box enforces its own limit.exec_within: a new wrapper around tinybox's exec that takes a reply deadline from the caller. Without it the normal exec call gives up after 300 s, but shell commands can be allowed longer.UnknownResourceerror name doesn't make it through the bus client, which reduces every module error to a generic category. So after a failed exec the driver callsInspecton the box. A box the module no longer knows, or one that can no longer take commands, is closed and replaced once, and the command is retried.a_box_reported_gone_is_still_closed_before_it_is_replaced)./sandbox, with only the request's own variables: explicit command env plus the Git and Python defaults.Tradeoffs and limits
