Including the part that matters operationally: a client half's bytes are
snapshotted at activation, so the card only appears after the profile restarts.
Without it the namespace still works — settings.yaml and the `configure` action —
there is simply no form drawn.
dsh-bash-sandbox is the composed ctx.shell, and its resolve() stamps
`request.sandboxPolicy ?? ctx.sandboxPolicy.resolve()`. Omitting the policy
therefore does NOT mean "unconfined" -- it silently substitutes the DEPLOYMENT
default (`DSH_PERMISSION_MODE ?? 'workspace-write'`) for the session's preset.
On a host with no sandbox runner that confines a danger-full-access session and
fails with SandboxUnavailableError before slopo is ever reached, which is
exactly what happened: the tool was unusable while bash worked.
Resolve the calling session's policy the way dsh-tool-bash does, and pass it on
every call. A confining executor with no ctx.sandboxPolicy is now refused
outright rather than guessed at.
That fix exposes a second problem worth naming. Slopo's state lives under
$DSH_HOME, which is outside the workspace root a workspace-write sandbox permits
writing to, so under that preset nothing would work. The tool now refuses before
running and names both ways out -- run under danger-full-access, or set stateDir
to a directory inside the workspace -- instead of letting a write fail halfway
through an embed.
Five tests pin this: the session's policy is resolved exactly once and travels
with the session, a missing policy service is refused, state outside the sandbox
is refused before any execution, state inside it proceeds, and status/configure
never touch the shell at all.
The provider prefix is not cosmetic: the openai/ prefix makes LiteLLM apply
OpenAI parameter validation to any model behind it, and slopo always passes
dimensions, so a local OpenAI-compatible server needs its own prefix.
Five settings are frozen into the database at first index, so changing the
embedding model means re-embedding everything. And a review cannot bootstrap the
database at all, because agent-review opens the index read-only.
