The native loop, Codex, and Claude Code all satisfy it. Changing `Task`, `Result`, or the interface is a dedicated, serialized contract task — never a side effect of another change. 2. **The verifier is the only authority on "done."** No backend's self-report (`Result.SelfClaimed`) decides whether work ships. After any backend runs, the project's checks re-run and that verdict governs. 3. **No ambient authority.** Secrets are held by the `SecretStore` (environment, OS keychain, encrypted vault, or external) — never written to disk in plaintext, never logged, never placed in a prompt or in source, and never given to the model. The process holds no broad credentials by default. -4. **Model-emitted execution is sandboxed.** Any *shell command* a model emits, and any delegated coding CLI (Codex, Codex), runs inside the container sandbox — a model can never run an arbitrary program on the host. The native loop's structured tools are the one deliberate, bounded exception: the file tools (read/write/edit/search) and the git tool run host-side, but each is confined to the disposable worktree (symlink-safe path resolution + `O_NOFOLLOW`) and the git tool runs a fixed, hardened subcommand set. They perform scoped file/VCS I/O only — never arbitrary execution. See `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` §Execution model. +4. **Model-emitted execution is sandboxed.** Any *shell command* a model emits, and any delegated coding CLI (Codex, Claude Code), runs inside the container sandbox — a model can never run an arbitrary program on the host.

They perform scoped file/VCS I/O only — never arbitrary execution. The native-macOS **host-control** tier (`nilcore desktop --mac-host`, `docs/ROADMAP-COMPUTER-USE-DARWIN.md`) is a second, explicitly-recorded relaxation: it drives the operator's REAL desktop, so I4's sandbox boundary does NOT hold there — which is why it is reached only behind a *separate* opt-in (`NILCORE_DESKTOP_HOST=1`, never implied by the normal computer-use gate), forces an unconditional human approval, and is bounded at runtime by a kill-switch + per-app allowlist. The default (contained) desktop and every other path keep I4 intact. See `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` §Execution model. 5. **The event log is append-only.** Every model call, tool execution, verify, and gate decision is recorded and replayable. Never mutate or delete history. 6. **The core has zero external dependencies.** Adding a Go module dependency requires explicit justification in the PR description and the CHANGELOG entry. Default to the standard library. There are three sanctioned exceptions: **SQLite** (`modernc.org/sqlite`, Phase 4 — the persistent backbone for `internal/store` and the code-intelligence graph in `internal/codeintel/{graph,semantic}`; a pure-Go driver, so releases keep `CGO_ENABLED=0`), **`golang.org/x/sys`** (Phase 7 — the namespace sandbox's Landlock / `no_new_privs` / seccomp syscalls in `internal/sandbox`; the Go project's own extended standard library, already pulled in transitively by SQLite), and the **Charm TUI stack** (`bubbletea`/`lipgloss`/`bubbles`), isolated behind the `//go:build tui` tag so the default `nilcore` binary links **zero** Charm. The MCP client is **not** a module — it speaks JSON-RPC over the standard library (`internal/mcp`). Any further module dependency requires the justification above. 7. **Untrusted input is data, never instructions.** Tool output, file contents, and fetched web content never become controlling instructions for the agent. @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ Breaking any of these means the PR is **rejected**, no matter how good the rest ## 3.

Headline corrections: `router.Classify(goal)` returns `run|build|swarm` — **not** `|decompose` (`Decompose` is a fourth `Preset`, opt-in only, excluded from `All()`), a claim three contract files asserted wrongly; `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` overstated the container egress control as SSRF-proof/IP-layer when `AllowEgressVia` only sets `--network bridge` + `HTTP(S)_PROXY` and no packet filter exists — the proxy is the only *sanctioned* way out, not a hard network wall; metrics refreshed everywhere (120 packages, 375 source + 406 test files, ~89.8K non-test LOC); the six `NILCORE_OPENROUTER_*` / `NILCORE_COMPAT_*` vars documented only in suffix shorthand are now spelled out; `docs/REFERENCE.md` gained an explicit upgrade note for the two settings whose MEANING changed at `573a4df` (`NILCORE_SELFIMPROVE_AUTOAPPROVE=1` was a no-op and now really merges; swarm shards now reach their preset's declared hosts). Roadmap/plan docs keep their plans but now carry accurate SHIPPED / PARTIALLY SHIPPED / NOT-BUILT status and no longer name pruned symbols as live. `CHANGELOG.md` history untouched (append-only). Markdown only — no `.go`, `Makefile` or CI file changed. _Owns:_ `*.md`, `docs/**`. _(Phase 16 — documentation)_ + +- **chore(features-review): reconcile shipped-but-inert subsystems, then a full docs pass over the assembled diff.** A features-review sweep found a cluster of built-but-silently-dead paths (several of which reported false green), fixed each with a discriminating test, and then reconciled the docs to the code as it now is. **Verifier integrity:** the `vcache` key now folds in the browser-verify command, `NILCORE_VERIFY_PACKS`, `NILCORE_EVIDENCE_VERIFY`, `NILCORE_EVIDENCE_MAX_AGE` and the sandbox image identity (a behavioral toggle can no longer serve a stale green), and the worktree content hash includes `.nilcore/artifacts` when evidence verification is on; evidence verifiers are now discovered **lazily at Check time** on run/chat/serve/resume (they were built eagerly and so never ran); tiered verify reads only the `go test` leg of a compound command and replicates `-run`/`-skip`; a new boot `validateVerifyEnv` exits 2 on a bad `NILCORE_VERIFY_PACKS`/`NILCORE_EVIDENCE_MAX_AGE`. **Artifact packs:** `code.test_passes` ran `go test -- ''` (which never tested the selected package — a false green) → `go test ''`; `code.build_passes` on an undetectable layout is now Unverifiable, not Pass; `schema_verify` events are actually emitted (the report's SchemaDefects section was permanently empty; `DefectMeta` gained `claim_id`/`reason` + json tags); `software.github_tag_exists` paginates; the audit pack rejects leading-dash patterns. **Swarm:** shards now actually receive their derived egress (an allowlist proxy is stood up and applied per shard box — previously every shard ran `--network none`, so the research preset could never verify green and `--egress-allow` was inert); `--resume` re-seeds skipped/queued/running shards (planned-DAG dependents were being dropped — a false green) and red budget-exhausted shards block a clean converge. **Graduated auto-approval (graapprove) was structurally unreachable:** `AllowBranches:["*"]` never matched slash-y branches (`path.Match`) and trust/rate keyed on per-run-unique scopes — now `*` matches any non-empty scope, and trust + the per-day rate window key on a stable scope **family** (`task/trig-123`→`task/*`, a bare sha→`#commit`); the protected-base floor (main/master/release/trunk/stable/prod*) and `DenyBranches` stay on the **concrete** branch; an empty scope never auto-approves. **Self-improve now really merges:** it had no merge step (it logged `self_edit_merged` and returned `merged=true` while nothing landed) — there is now a real `Flow.Merge` seam, `Run` returns the verified branch, `merged=true` means it actually landed, and new event kinds record the failure modes (`self_edit_merge_unwired`/`self_edit_no_branch`/`self_edit_merge_failed`). **Session / front door:** drive-terminal persist ran on an already-cancelled ctx so conversation state never wrote (now detached — `context.WithoutCancel` + 5s timeout); `Session.Checkpoint` (previously zero callers) is now called on chat exit and in serve's drainShutdown; steer markers (`!`/`/steer`) are stripped before the model sees the turn; memory/lessons (`MemoryContext`) and operator steering (`SteeringContext`) now reach chat/TUI and serve, not just run/watch; `-blast-radius` now fences chat and serve native drives (chat mints ONE shared blast budget for its proxy + sandboxes + gate; a serve-restart-resumed run gets the dollar ceiling); serve's `--webhook` no longer opens a second SQLite handle on the DB serve owns; the serve-embedded flywheel gate is deny-default (was bound to `os.Stdin`); a failed serve drive no longer renders "✓ not verified" over Telegram/Slack. **Security / robustness:** `browsersession.Observation.URL` is scrubbed for typed secrets (an I3 leak into the model prompt AND the append-only log); browseragent irreversible-signal, `router.Classify`, `trust.Classify` and `session.referencesGoal` moved from substring to word-boundary matching; Slack model text is escaped (was ``-injectable), evidence-rich gates clip to Slack's 3000-char cap instead of silently auto-denying, 429/Retry-After is honored, and ws frame length is sanity-checked; Telegram scrubs the token from transport errors and clips long messages; MCP stdio writes are ctx-cancellable (a deadlock), responses size-capped, children reaped, stale resource/prompt wrappers pruned; one malformed SKILL.md no longer disables ALL skills; codeintel + live walks skip symlinks (I4) and vendor dirs (node_modules/vendor/.venv/dist/build), and several tool reads moved to `O_NOFOLLOW`; the termui spinner stop/animate deadlock is fixed (TryLock). **Backends / providers:** an empty-content native reply no longer poisons history and kills the run; Anthropic — a zero-frame clean-EOF stream is a retryable error, server-tool-only (`pause_turn`) turns are preserved, all beta headers collected; OpenAI — web plugin deduped, tool_result error signalled, max_tokens splice fixed; codex/claude-code `digText` matches the real claude-code stream-json (`result` key, `message.content[]`). **Also:** experience projection is rotation-aware (`Rebuild` drops stale keys); autosrc no longer kills a source permanently on a full queue; emit neutralizes ANSI in gate evidence; integrate stops on a failed `merge --abort`; the eventlog torn-tail heal won't drop committed lines; the report writer error-lists as json. **Docs reconciled to the code:** restored the AGENTS.md backend set (a find/replace had corrupted it to "Codex, Codex"), corrected Go 1.25 + dropped the never-adopted `sqlc` in PREREQUISITES, purged dead-symbol references (`impact.Localize`/SBFL, `policy.Gate`/`EgressWith`, `internal/blackboard`, `emit.NopEmitter`, `objective.MarkRun`), corrected the phantom `NILCORE_BROWSER_AGENT`/`NILCORE_DESKTOP_DARWIN` gates to the shipped gating, documented the previously-undocumented env vars in `docs/REFERENCE.md`, refreshed the stale REFERENCE.md metrics/CLI/package inventory, and stated the true Phase-15 status (web search shipped;

all resolved with tests, then an adversarial review of the assembled diff caught + fixed 5 regressions. **Bugs:** desktop sessions never scrubbed typed secrets from observations (I3 reflow leak) — ported the browser tier's scrubber to desktopsession (HIGH); `BrowseTool` built without an Approver dead-blocked every irreversible action (wired the console approver); native computer-use collapsed right/double/drag/middle into one left click (extended the desktopwire `Act` contract + both drivers, fail-closed); added a per-action desktop irreversible gate symmetric with the browser (word-boundary matched); the claude-code backend emitted `--output-format stream-json` without `--verbose` (rejected by current CLIs); importgraph layer match + inspect.Replay's 1MB line cap fixed. **Features wired (built + tested but never reached from production):** the external `SecretStore` (`NILCORE_SECRET_EXTERNAL_CMD`, the 4th I3 backend) into the read chain; served-model pricing (resolves vendor-namespaced OpenRouter ids to their real tier); OpenRouter routing extras + response_format/tool_choice via Tuning (validated JSON); cost-aware routing (RTE-T06, a `PricerCost` func); objective success-tracking (`MarkSuccess`/`MarkAttempt` + the LastSuccess/RetryPeriod columns, the migration now called from `Store.migrate`); live code-graph deletion on delete/rename; egress-allowlist `schema_version` validation;

added the 4th selectable vendor `openai-compatible` (vLLM/Ollama/Azure/Groq/self-hosted) to the vendor-lock row, model-selection, the architecture diagram, and the What's-inside map (was "three adapters"); dropped the non-existent `nilcore run` verb (single-task run is the `nilcore -goal` flag form; "run" remains a kernel *preset*) and added the missing `selfacc` verb + the nilcore-desktop drivers under cmd/tools; corrected the self-contradicting "env only" secrets wording to the real SecretStore (env/keychain/vault/external); documented the MCP `headers` `{{secret:NAME}}`/`{{env:NAME}}` host-side resolution + the per-repo cache-dir descriptor location.

7 refuted) surfaced **0 CRITICAL, 26 confirmed findings (2 HIGH)** against `main`; all are fixed here, each with a discriminating test. **HIGH:** (1) the OpenAI/OpenRouter SSE assembler silently swallowed an in-band `data:{"error":…}` frame (and an EOF-without-`[DONE]` carrying no content) as a nil-error empty/partial success, defeating retry/failover — it now surfaces a typed, retryable-vs-terminal-classified `*model.APIError` like the Anthropic path; (2) an unvalidated SKILL.md frontmatter `name` became the `skill_` API tool name, so one malformed installed skill 400'd EVERY model call of every run — the name is now sanitized/validated at load, the `Defs()` boundary skips+warns any tool violating `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}$` (legit builtins unaffected), and `registry.InstallSkill` validates at install. **Confirmed clusters fixed:** *silent-failure bugs* — `scheduler.Submit` deadlock on >1024 tasks submitted pre-Start (→ unbounded cond-queue, FIFO/bounded-concurrency preserved); a swallowed `wt.Commit` fault stranding a verified green shard as a false-green (→ surfaced not-done); `resilience.Stream` double-paint across a retry (→ concat(forwarded)==returned invariant preserved); the MCP `Manager` single-flight binding the shared connect to one caller's ctx and poisoning a concurrent peer (→ detached connect ctx). *Dead-as-advertised closed-loop features* — trusted-preset Deploy auto-approval unreachable; chat `/apply` trust recorded under the source branch but gated on the target (→ same scope); `exp_config_standing` never written; `experience -class` keyed under `class=""` (→ real class, warm==log); `selfimprove.Scope` advisory-only (→ execution-time fail-closed scope screen at the gate + the flywheel path); `super` MaxFanout counting cumulative-not-concurrent (→ outstanding decremented/folded); `-blast-radius` wall fence unenforced on the DEFAULT Linux namespace backend (→ wired via a build-tagged helper). *Invariant edges* — the read-path final-component symlink TOCTOU across read/edit/editchecked/format/patch (→ `worktreefs.ReadConfined` O_NOFOLLOW, false hardening comment corrected); `maint.RotateLog` overwriting a hash-chained generation (→ lossless multi-generation, I5); macOS keychain `Set` leaking the secret on argv (→ off-argv); MCP `Headers` promising host-side secret resolution no code performed (→ `{{secret:NAME}}`/`{{env:NAME}}` resolved via the SecretStore, unresolved = hard error; descriptors relocated out of the operator's checkout). *Perf* — `vcache` O(n²) full-log re-verify + append-on-hit (→ memoized, side-effect-free hits, still chain-sound); `graapprove` trust rebuild rescanning the whole log per gate (→ incremental). *Code-intel* — the graph bare-name node collision (Run/New/Close clobbering across files) → a full qualified-id migration (`NodeID`/`SplitID`/`DisplayName` + a name→qualified resolution layer, every consumer — retrieve/impact/repomap/live/navutil/readsymbol — updated, with a same-name-no-clobber regression test); the embedder hardwired to api.openai.com (→ `NILCORE_EMBED_BASE_URL`); the semantic index mixing vectors across embedding models (→ model+dimension-keyed cache). **Contract/infra/docs:** `make verify` now runs golangci-lint (the dogfooded gate matches CLAUDE.md §4 + CI); the `-race` lane gained model/meter/mcp/trace/trust/graapprove (their `*Race*` tests stop being tautological); a new CI job runs the CONTAINER-sandbox I4 confinement+egress tests under `NILCORE_SANDBOX_MUST_RUN` (the primary sandbox boundary had zero regression protection); `tui-verify` now covers the swarm-board + trace tui code; releases publish per-binary SHA-256 + a SHA256SUMS and the installer verifies before installing (fail-closed); a hermetic model-free native-loop convergence smoke test proves the core loop in CI; doc drift fixed (the non-existent `nilcore run` in SELFACC/ARCHITECTURE/CLAUDE, the vestigial `nullclaw` `docs/.gitignore`). **Then a 12-slice adversarial review of the ASSEMBLED diff caught 8 confirmed second-order regressions the tests missed** — all fixed: a `mkdirAllNoFollow` boundary fallback that could still FOLLOW an attacker-swapped in-worktree symlink out of the tree (I4 escape — reproduced, then closed by canonicalizing root AND target in one symlink-space); the graded auto-approval `$` meter denying everything under the default `-blast-radius off` because it charged cumulative run spend as one action's cost (→ per-day metering against `MaxDollarsDay` seeded from the durable log, `min(clause, blast dayCeil)` when a budget is present, structural main/prod/release denials intact); repomap PageRank dropping ALL call edges post-migration (raw `Edges` vs resolved `CallEdges`); the macOS `ConfigDir` move orphaning an existing secrets vault on upgrade (→ reverted to the stable Application Support home, mint-a-fresh-key data loss averted); `route.Race` loser-cancel making the winner nondeterministic (→ index-aware: a passer cancels only strictly-higher indices, so the lowest-index passer always wins); a chat stdin close-on-ctx racing `os.ErrClosed` into `fatal()` on a clean Ctrl-C (→ mapped to a clean end).

The **lessons last mile** is closed — `memory.TaskContext` merges ScopeProject + ScopeGlobal (where the distiller writes) under one newest-first budget, so the agent finally sees its own scars; **race escalation** threads the failed attempt's fail-class + fenced verifier tail into each candidate's `Constraints` (the most expensive escalation no longer starts blind); **`final_verify` is class-tagged and folded into the trust ledger** alongside `race_outcome` (skip-not-panic guards; pre-upgrade logs replay byte-identical) so per-class routing warms on single-backend deployments; **`read` gains {offset,limit} paging + a 48KB cap** with a recovery-teaching notice and the mcp result is capped at the shared fence seam. **Wave 2/3 — context lifecycle + verification latency:** the native loop bounds shell/registry output (head 2KB + tail 6KB backstop; self-bounded tools exempt), records structured edits in the advisor trail, handles `max_tokens` (16384 default cap, `textBlocks()` salvage + harness re-emit turn + `json.Valid` belt — a truncated tool call no longer spins the nudge), injects a one-shot budget wrap-up signal, prepends a **fenced repo map** (new bounded `repoMap` walker behind the `RepoContext` seam) and **compacts in-run** (`CtxWindow` from the meter's window table; `msgs[0]` kept byte-identical to preserve the cache prefix; pairs never split; tool bodies excluded from summaries — I7; context-overflow 400 ⇒ compact-once-retry instead of losing the worktree; events `truncated_turn`/`budget_wrapup`/`loop_compact`). **`NILCORE_VCACHE` flips default-on** (kernel-cutover pattern, `=0` hatch) killing the pure-waste 2x verify on every success; a **FlakeProbe** decorator (test-class red + identical content hash ⇒ ONE real-verifier re-run; `verify_flaky` event) stops a coin-flip test from triggering an N-worktree race; a **TieredVerifier** (**opt-in**, `NILCORE_TIERED_VERIFY=1`) short-circuits in-loop RED via scoped `go vet`+`go test` of touched packages — armed ONLY for a full-module `go test ./...` command whose flags it replicates, short-circuiting ONLY a *provable* subset red (a package-load error falls through to Full); only the FULL verifier can PASS — I2 by construction; order `tiered(flakeprobe(vcache(base)))`. The `vcache→flake→tiered` chain is wired on every orchestrator path (run/serve/chat/resume), not just build/swarm, so a green run pays ONE full verify (not two) and a flaky final verify is re-probed once before any N-worktree race. **Wave 4 — swarm DAG completion (extends #94):** `Shard.BaseRef` + dependency-aware base resolution (single dep ⇒ its verified branch; multi ⇒ integrated TipSHA, `super.depTip` pattern) with a bounded fenced claim-status+summary handoff — DAG edges now buy the dep's CODE, not just ordering; **merged-set tracking** stops the every-pass re-merge spam and a **conflict requeue** rebuilds a conflicted-but-green shard on the integrated tip under the requeue Ledger; **termination honesty**: `Outcome.Unmerged` folds into `Remaining` so a silently-dropped green can never exit 0; **evidence-carrying focused requeue** (red keeps its branch; retry continues from it with red claim ids + verifier detail in the goal); fixed a latent blocker (attempt-branch name collisions made ANY shard retry fail at the worktree cut — now uniquely suffixed) and armed the always-zero requeue budget via `--retries` (default 2). **Wave 5 — delivery + gates + sandbox:** verified chat/run drives **keep their branch** (the front door no longer verifies work then deletes it) with `/diff` preview and `/apply` merging through the EXACT structured PromoteToBase gate (maint caps kept branches; WorkState survives restarts); **every attended gate shows evidence** — `policy.GateEvidence` (diffstat + bounded head-biased excerpt + verify tail with verdict line + spend, redacted at construction) rides `GateAction.Evidence` through the existing StructuredApprover seam, mirrored to `emit.GatePrompt`, rendered on console/plain-writer/styled-REPL/TUI/Slack/Telegram, with legacy flat approvers byte-identical (pinned) and the graapprove fall-through forwarding the FULL action (11 sites; previously every graded fall-through flattened to one line); the **namespace sandbox masks operator credentials** before Landlock — vault dir + `~/.ssh`/`.aws`/`.gnupg`/`.netrc`/`.config/gh`/`.docker/config.json`/`.codex`/`.claude*` (ro tmpfs over dirs, `/dev/null` over files, fail-closed 126, worktree-shadow exclusion) — closing the in-box vault-decryption I3 hole.

This builds it. New **`internal/router`** (pure stdlib leaf, deps-guarded, mirroring `agent.TrustOracle`): `Classify(goal) Preset` — a deterministic keyword bucket picking the cheapest preset that fits (breadth/parallel → `swarm`; project/scaffold → `build`; else `run`); an `Oracle` seam for a future learned/model-backed router (`nil ⇒ Classify`); and `Route(ctx, oracle, goal, allowed) (Preset, provenance)` — fail-closed (a nil/no-opinion/out-of-bounds/invalid oracle pick, or a heuristic pick outside `allowed`, falls back safely; never returns an unrunnable choice). New **`nilcore do -goal "…"`** entry routes a goal and dispatches to the chosen proven machine (`-dry-run` previews the decision, `-as` forces a preset, `-preset` passes a swarm preset); it adds NO execution of its own — the chosen machine still owns verify (I2), gate (I3), and log (I5), and the routing only ORDERS the machine choice (I7: the goal is inert data).

Fix: a shared `evalUntil` poll re-evaluates the actionability check over a bounded budget (default 3s, 50ms interval), tolerating transient evaluate errors during navigation, so both selector-targeting commands wait for the element to become present + actionable instead of failing immediately — mirroring the auto-wait every mature browser-automation tool performs.

The container is rootless, drops capabilities, mounts the rootfs read-only, and defaults to **deny-all egress** (`--network none`). Opening egress (`Container.AllowEgressVia`, `internal/sandbox/sandbox.go:118`) switches the container to `--network bridge` and points `HTTP_PROXY`/`HTTPS_PROXY` at a host-side allowlist proxy (`internal/policy`), which pins the first resolved IP and refuses loopback/link-local/private destinations, so traffic *that transits the proxy* cannot be turned into an SSRF pivot. + +> **Precisely how strong this is.** Enforcement is at the **proxy layer**, honored by proxy-aware clients — **not** at the packet/IP layer. NilCore installs no iptables/nftables egress filter, so once egress is opted in the proxy is the only *sanctioned* way out, not a hard network wall: a command that ignores the proxy env (`curl --noproxy '*'`, a raw socket) reaches the bridge directly. Two things bound this: egress is **off by default** (deny-all, and `web_fetch` is not even advertised), and the namespace backend — the auto-detected default on Landlock-capable Linux — has **no proxy path at all** and is unconditionally deny-all (`CLONE_NEWNET` with no interface, `internal/sandbox/namespace_linux.go`). A packet-layer filter for the container tier is not implemented. **Two Tier-1 backends, one interface (the isolation spectrum).** `sandbox.Sandbox` has two implementations and `sandbox.New` auto-detects between them (override with `-sandbox auto|namespace|container` or `NILCORE_SANDBOX`): - **Container** (`sandbox.Container`, podman/docker) — the portable choice wherever a runtime is present: a separate image rootfs, `--cap-drop=ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, a read-only rootfs + tmpfs, the worktree bind-mounted at `/work`, and `--network none`. -- **Namespace** (`sandbox.Namespace`, Linux only) — needs **no runtime, image, or daemon**, so the loop stays sandboxed (I4) on a bare host (a cheap VPS, a Pi, a locked-down CI runner).

The isolation strength runs **Firecracker microVM (strongest; Linux/KVM; future) → container → namespace + Landlock (lightest, most portable)**. `New` prefers the namespace backend wherever the kernel offers Landlock (≥5.13) and unprivileged user namespaces, but is **conservative**: it treats an AppArmor- or sysctl-restricted userns as unsupported and falls back to a container rather than risk an `EPERM` at exec, so `auto` is always correct. The one deliberate trade for needing no runtime: the namespace backend shares the host's filesystem **read-only** (enforced by Landlock) instead of a separate image rootfs. Because the security property (real confinement) is only observable on Linux, a dedicated `sandbox-linux` CI job runs the escape tests with `NILCORE_SANDBOX_MUST_RUN=1` — they fail rather than skip — as the authoritative verifier. **Tier 2 — host-side, worktree-confined (scoped I/O, never arbitrary execution).** The native loop's structured tools run in-process on the host because they are *bounded operations*, not a shell: - `read` / `write` / `edit` / `search` — file I/O confined to the disposable worktree.

What remains name-based is *cross-file call resolution*: a call site emits only the bare callee name (`helper()`), so a `calls` edge is stored as `(qualifiedCaller → bareCalleeName)` and the query layer resolves that bare name to matching qualified node(s) at read time.
