fix(agent): add grep, sed, find, xargs to the agent's PATH - #375
fix(agent): add grep, sed, find, xargs to the agent's PATH#375defangdevs wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
agentBaseTools shipped gawk, ripgrep, and friends but never gnugrep/gnused/findutils, so the agent's own PATH lacked grep, sed, find and xargs — tools every shell snippet on earth assumes. This already broke agent-box-session ls, which piped into a bare grep on every row. Also stop session-cli.sh's ls verb from depending on grep at all: the exact-match "is this name live" check is now a bash case/glob test, so a thin PATH degrades gracefully instead of failing per row. Fixes #372.

Session listing detects live tmux sessions with shell matching instead of external grep. Service fixtures include the GNU grep binary directory. ChangesAgent runtime and session listing
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change adds the required command-line tools to the agent and service PATHs and removes a fragile grep dependency from session checks. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the nearby PATH rationale for grep and find still needs correction. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

The AGENT_BOX_GREP_BIN/AGENT_BOX_FIND_BIN comment still said grep and find were deliberately absent from the agent's own PATH — no longer true since agentBaseTools gained them (#372). The pins are still needed for the supervisor, the sessions.json lock and the codex remote-control wrapper, none of which run inside an agent session. Addresses a CodeRabbit nitpick on PR #375.

Summary
pkgs.gnugrep,pkgs.gnused,pkgs.findutilstoagentBaseToolsinmodules/agent-box.nix.in, matchingnix/runtime.nix'sbaseTools. These land inenvironment.systemPackages(/run/current-system/sw/bin), so this also fixes the same gap for systemd units that only pin a narrowpath(e.g.agent-box-update.service's baregrepcall,webhook-self.sh's baresed), not just interactive agent shells.agent-box-session ls's "is this session live" check independent ofgrep: replaced theprintf ... | grep -qxF "$n"pipeline with a bashcase/glob exact-match test, so a thin PATH degrades gracefully instead of erroring on every row.modules/agent-box.nix(nix run .#assemble) andtests/golden/(nix run .#update-golden) for the resulting PATH/unit changes.Fixes #372.
Not in scope here: the issue also suggested a check that
nix/runtime.nix'sbaseToolsandmodules/agent-box.nix.in'sagentBaseToolsnever drift again. While verifying this fix I found the existingruntime-profilecheck (which already does byte-identity checks between the two backends' shipped scripts) is currently broken at eval time for an unrelated reason — filed separately as #374 — so a tool-list parity check should build on that once #374 is fixed, not land in this PR.Test plan
