fix(native): make the shipped guide's commands real - #403
Conversation
Issue #394, gaps 1 and 2. The guide agent-box ships tells every agent to put secrets in the env store with `agent-box-session env set KEY VALUE` and to fan work out to a worker with `agent-box-profile`. On a native box neither existed: the runtime profile shipped no envstore CLI and no profile CLI, and the generated wrapper pinned neither path — so the env verb died on `${AGENT_BOX_ENVSTORE_BIN:?}` and `--profile` fell through to a bare name nothing on PATH answers. The store itself was half-wired the whole time: env-exec READS it at session spawn, so secrets set from the settings page did reach sessions. Only the CLI half was missing, which is the half the guide documents. runtime.nix ships agent-box-envstore (spliced over lib/envstore.py the same way env-exec is — the CLI calls into the lib without importing it) and agent-box-profile-bare. agentbox generates /usr/local/bin/agent-box-profile and pins AGENT_BOX_ENVSTORE_BIN + AGENT_BOX_PROFILE_BIN into both wrappers, so a value spanning lines — a PEM, an SSH key — means the same thing to the CLI, the settings page and the spawn path. One parser, as issue #212 requires. Two tests, because a promise in the shipped guide is a contract with the agent: one greps the rendered guide for `agent-box-*` commands and fails if the box does not have one, the other asserts both wrappers carry the pins. Writing the first of those turned up the same hand-list problem AGAIN — FAKE_BINS, the fake profile the render tests build, had drifted from nix/runtime.nix and did not contain agent-box-upload, which the guide promises. Derive it from runtime.nix instead: a hand-maintained copy of a list that already exists is exactly how #392 happened.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR makes the documented native commands available and pins them into generated wrappers, with unit, parity, and payload-drift checks reported passing. It is mergeable with owner awareness of a bounded test-fixture risk: availability checks may still treat conditionally installed webhook payloads as present and could miss a packaging regression.

agent-box-profile wrappers out of the web_enable-gated caddy rendering path into
an unconditional Renderer.render step, preserving their current environment
exports and executable permissions. Add a regression case covering web.enable:
false that verifies both /usr/local/bin wrappers are still generated.

profile wrapper reads to assert that the profile wrapper also contains
AGENT_BOX_PROFILE_BIN=. Ensure the bin/agentbox profile-wrapper template exports
this variable so both generated wrappers satisfy the contract.

CodeRabbit review on #403: Renderer.render() only called self.caddy(), which generates the two CLI wrappers the shipped guide promises on every box, when web.enable was true. A native box with web.enable: false rendered neither, even though the module's agentRuntimePackages carries both unconditionally (webhookEnabled, unlike them, really is gated on web.enable there too — cfg.webhook.enable && cfg.web.enable — so agent-box-webhook stays inside caddy()). Split the two wrapper writes out into interactive_clis(), called unconditionally from render(), and add a web.enable: false regression case.

Review point on #403: profile_payload_names() scraped every payload declaration in nix/runtime.nix, including the three it adds only under `lib.optional(s) webhookEnabled`. The set was therefore right about the file and wrong about the box — it would have vouched for a command a webhook-less box does not install, which is the exact class of "the test agrees with itself" this list was introduced to stop. The guide test now passes the config's own webhook flag, so the expected commands track the profile that config actually produces. No behavior change today: tests/native/config.json enables the webhook, and a box without it gets no @WEBHOOK_SECTION@ in the guide either, so nothing was being promised that was missing. It is the reasoning that was unsound, not the current answer.

Took the outside-diff point. The guide test now passes the config's own webhook flag, so the expected commands track the profile that config actually produces. No behavior change today, and worth saying why rather than implying a bug was fixed: 30 tests OK. |

The problem
The guide agent-box ships tells every agent to put secrets in the env store with
agent-box-session env set KEY VALUE, and to fan work out withagent-box-profile. On a native box neither existed:So the env verb died on
${AGENT_BOX_ENVSTORE_BIN:?}— an error message where a stored secret should be — andagent-box-session add --profilefell through to a bare name nothing onPATHanswers.Being precise about blast radius: the store was half-wired.
agent-box-env-execreads it at session spawn, so secrets set from the settings page did reach sessions. Only the CLI half was missing — which is the half the guide documents.The fix
nix/runtime.nixshipsagent-box-envstore(spliced overlib/envstore.pyexactly asenv-execis — the CLI calls into the lib without importing it) andagent-box-profile-bare.bin/agentboxgenerates/usr/local/bin/agent-box-profileand pinsAGENT_BOX_ENVSTORE_BIN+AGENT_BOX_PROFILE_BINinto both wrappers, so a value spanning lines — a PEM, an SSH key — means the same thing to the CLI, the settings page and the spawn path. One parser, as Env vars can be multi-line #212 requires.Tests
A promise in the shipped guide is a contract with the agent, so it gets checked like any other rendered artifact:
test_the_guide_promises_only_commands_this_box_hasgreps the rendered guide for`agent-box-*`commands and fails if the box doesn't have one.test_the_session_cli_can_reach_the_env_storeasserts both wrappers carry the pins.Writing the first one turned up the same hand-list problem again.
FAKE_BINS— the fake profile the render tests build against — had drifted fromnix/runtime.nixand was missingagent-box-upload, which the guide promises. The test was therefore about to prove the renderer agreed with the test, not with the profile. It now derives the list fromruntime.nix: a hand-maintained copy of a list that already exists is precisely how #392 happened.Parity

Remaining #394 gaps, in the order I plan to take them unless you'd rather reorder: guide-target symlink → claude settings + codex full-access → webhook subagent dispatch → earlyoom/zram/swappiness (gap 9, whose earlyoom half only became visible after #402).
