cgalo5758 5829091881 Track the agent runner and its method page
The contained runner that drove the 2026-09 security audit, the README
review and four rounds of design ideation lived only inside the ignored
notebook. It moves to scripts/agent-runner/: the prepare, tools, audit,
ideation and teardown scripts, the compose and container files, the
allowlist proxy and the prompt templates, with the paths that assumed
the notebook fixed and findings written to a caller-named directory. Run
outputs, transcripts and the round-specific sheet scripts stay behind.

docs/agent-runner.md states the method: the disposable git archive
copy and the fail-closed proxy, how a task is shaped, union rather than
intersection of findings across models, separate adjudication of every
finding against the source, and the evidence a finding must carry.

Agent runner

Runs a model from another family (DeepSeek, Gemini, GLM/Z.AI, Kimi) over a disposable copy of this repository, inside a container whose only route off-box is an allowlist proxy. Two lanes share that container: a security lane (run-audit.sh), which audits a named slice of the code, and an ideation lane (run-ux.sh), which answers a design brief with a proposal and a static mockup. Each lane runs a fresh container per model, so no run inherits another run's context.

The method these lanes serve, and the rules a finding has to clear before it counts, are in docs/agent-runner.md.

What it touches, and what it does not

  • Working tree: never mounted. The model sees git archive HEAD unpacked into .code/ beside these scripts, which teardown.sh throws away. Edits it makes go nowhere.
  • Network: the model container sits on a Docker network marked internal, which has no route off-box. Its only exit is a tinyproxy sidecar that denies every host except the patterns in allowlist.txt. This is fail-closed: a misconfigured proxy costs the run its network rather than leaking the code. In practice the proxy refuses semgrep's telemetry and opencode's registry fetches while allowing the model API. Read the denials with docker compose exec egress-proxy cat /tmp/tinyproxy.log.
  • Credentials: one secret enters a container, the opencode auth file at ~/.local/share/opencode/auth.json, mounted read-only. It holds the model-provider keys. SSH keys, forge tokens, test/secrets/ and the host opencode config are never mounted. Point AUDIT_AUTH_JSON elsewhere if your auth file lives elsewhere.
  • Live stack: not involved. There is no database, no identity provider, no webhook surface. Both lanes read code.
  • Findings: land in the directory you name with OUT. Keep it outside this one: this directory is tracked and a run's output is not.

Security lane

./prepare.sh                          # once: export HEAD, build images, start the proxy
OUT=<dir> ./run-tools.sh              # offline scanner pass -> $OUT/tools/
OUT=<dir> ./run-audit.sh              # every model x every scope task -> $OUT/<timestamp>/
./teardown.sh                         # remove the containers, networks, images and the copy

The scanner pass runs first and offline: gosec, govulncheck, semgrep, staticcheck and gitleaks write machine-readable output that task 08 gives the model to triage. run-audit.sh runs it itself if $OUT/tools/ is missing.

Inputs are the three files the prompt is built from:

File What it is
AUDITOR.md How the model works, the evidence every finding must carry, the output shape
CONTEXT.md The auth model, request pipeline and trust boundaries, supplied as fact
scope/NN-*.md One slice each: the files, a one-sentence threat model, falsifiable questions

Subsets and knobs:

OUT=<dir> MODELS="deepseek/deepseek-v4-pro" ./run-audit.sh 02-operator-boundary
OUT=<dir> TIMEOUT=3600 VARIANT=high ./run-audit.sh

VARIANT is reasoning effort and defaults to max; set it empty to omit the flag. Model ids drift, so confirm them with opencode models and pass MODELS= when the defaults in run-audit.sh are stale. To add a provider, authenticate it on the host with opencode auth login, add its API host to allowlist.txt, and name it in MODELS.

Ideation lane

./prepare.sh                          # once, same as above
./run-ux.sh <brief-dir>               # one lane per model -> <brief-dir>/out/<timestamp>/

The brief is yours; the runner carries no design content. <brief-dir> holds four files, each overridable by the variable of the same name: DESIGNER.md (how the model works and what it must produce), CONTEXT.md (the surface, its constraints, what survives any redesign), SCREENS.md (what exists today) and brief.md (the deliverable). EXTRA=<file> appends a file to the prompt; INCLUDE="<file> ..." copies files into the disposable tree and names them for the model to read. OUT=<dir> moves the output elsewhere.

Each lane writes proposal.md, proposal.err and mockup.html; _static/ holds the stylesheets the mockups link, so a mockup opens in a browser.

Teardown

./teardown.sh removes the containers, both networks, the two built images and the disposable copy, then prints a residue check. --deep also drops the base images and prunes the build cache; --verify-only removes nothing and just reports. Findings are untouched, because they never live here.

Every model container runs with --rm, so no opencode session or snapshot data survives a run, and auth.json was read-only, so nothing was written back to it.

First build

prepare.sh is slow the first time. Everything the run needs from the network is fetched at build time, where the Docker daemon still has normal egress: the Go toolchain, opencode, the five scanners, the semgrep rule corpus, the Go vulnerability database, and this project's module cache. At run time the scanners are fully offline.
