+- `box fleet heal <node>` — diagnose + fix + verify a node (lock, watchdog timer, Warp tunnel, egress, relay).
+- `box watchdog status` / `box watchdog run <node|relay>` — timer states + evidence / trigger an immediate watchdog run.
 - `box thread list [<agent>]` — threads for one agent, or all fleet sidechats when omitted.
 - `box thread view <agent> <thread_id|main> --limit N` — recent messages from one thread.
 - `box dm log -n N [--agent X] [--filter TEXT]` — recent DM activity.

 - `box job list` / `box job log` — scheduled jobs and execution events.
 - `box harvest status` / `box followup list` — harvest watermarks / pending nudges.
+- `box muse-choices on|off|status|logs|reconcile|resolve` — Muse TUI auto-answer daemon switch, state, per-pane logs, held-prompt resolve (default on; `off` is the box-command opt-out).
+- `box runtime list|send|launch|layout|spread|reconcile|kill|restart|brief` — Muse CLI tmux runtimes: live state + approval posture, send-keys input, launches with approval trail (bare launch injects `--approval-mode on-request`; fleet socket `/tmp/tmux-muse.sock` is watcher-answered), pane-geometry layout + spread, manifest reconcile, session kill / manifest restart / brief delivery.
+- `box tasks list|show|create|claim|done|requeue|sweep` — agent work queue (`fleet/tasks/` pending/claimed/done; distinct from scheduled `box job`). Prefer these over raw `mv`.
+- `box tmux tally` / `box tmux auto [status|on|off|watch|once|logs|match]` — multi-socket Tmux worker tally, regex auto-approver daemon & guardrails.
+- `box onboard connects` / `box onboard-tui` — fleet & client onboarding inventory, CDP ports, OTP salvage & 4-surface TUI.
+- `box invite status|code <node>|redeem <node> <CODE>` / `box usage [--node N]` — invite codes and usage limits.

 - Never paste multi-KB logs or dumps into chat; write payloads under `logs/` and send a short path pointer instead.
 - Avoid blocking commands in automated runs: `box fleet watch`, `box dm tail`, `box approvals watch`, `box dm chat` (interactive REPL).
 - `box` probes CDP per node and can take several seconds; use generous timeouts and `--json` for scripted use.
+- Preserve runtime and quota limits: prefer spawning subagents (`jobs/`, `subagent_tracker`) or background workers (`box kpi spawn-worker`) over long conversational prose to avoid `VANITY_IDLE` flags.

+creators owned by existing flows keep their names until owners rename;
+new sessions should follow the convention from birth.

+Read-only dashboard that aggregates agent harness runs (any CLI / bin

+SSH to every reachable tailnet device, then sorts by agent type.
+
+Surfaces 3 read-only views (no actions in v1):
+  [1] RUNS    — every run, sorted by agent type, then device.
+  [2] TYPES   — counts per agent type with per-device breakdown.
+  [3] DEVICES — per-device reachability, run counts, and notes.
+
+Structure mirrors bin/box-fleet-tui.py: all data-gathering lives in
+pure, testable functions taking injected runners (see gather_*); the
+curses UI is a thin renderer over those functions. The backend differs:
+instead of local repo files, each refresh fans out over tailnet SSH
+(one call per device: tmux panes + process table, joined locally).
+Unreachable devices yield "n/a" rows — never a crash.

+box-work.py — Fleet Workspace, Work Scope, and Task Orchestration Engine.
+
+Provides unified visibility into:
+- Scope of cloud workers (ports, tunnel status, busy/idle signals)
+- Recent Gitea tickets & build tasks
+- Actions taken (PRs, merges, closed tasks)
+- Active state of related agent chats & main chat
+- Next-action identification & autonomous dispatch (start, assign, merge)
+
+Usable standalone or as `box work` / `super work`. Works on NetVM (bl), VM, or remote PC/VPS.

+Side-chat to main-chat work siphon — detection rules (REPAIRED, agent 2 of 5).
 
-Monitors side chat messages and identifies "siphon-worthy" content:
-work that should surface in main chat for visibility.
+Fixes the false-positive ✅ COMPLETED relay at the source:
+  "Sending is disabled until this conversation can be verified." → COMPLETED
+  was caused by a SINGLE keyword ("verified") matching one regex.
 
-Categories:
-  COMPLETED  - work finished, results ready
-  BLOCKER    - something is stuck, needs intervention
-  DECISION   - a decision is needed from the user/operator
-  ALERT      - health/security/urgency signal
-  MILESTONE  - significant progress checkpoint
+Repairs (see OUTPUT.md for rationale):
+  1. COMPLETED requires >= 2 DISTINCT pattern hits (weighted: the structured
+     `[RESULT ...] OK` marker counts 2 — it is the fleet's own machine-emitted
+     completion signal, far less ambiguous than a bare "done").
+  2. Negation guards: negation/failure-state words veto COMPLETED outright
+     (fail-closed: a negated completion claim is never relayed as complete).
+  3. Honest labeling: the fake "confidence 60%" (which literally meant "one
+     regex hit") is replaced by a keyword-hit count. SiphonHit.hits is the
+     authoritative field; `confidence` is kept for backward compatibility
+     but must NOT be rendered as a percentage anywhere user-facing.
+  4. Stale suppression: a message older than 15 minutes never relays as
+     COMPLETED. Pass message_ts (epoch seconds). monitor.py currently does
+     NOT pass a timestamp — agent 3 / the integrator must thread
+     message["ts"] through (see OUTPUT.md).
 
-Detection is purely pattern-based (raw Python, no AI).
-Each rule returns (category, confidence, summary) or None.
+DO NOT overwrite the original detect.py with this file until the integrator
+reconciles all 5 agents' outputs.

+"""Host-side fleet evidence for network/PID-blind shells.
+
+`box fleet status` probes each node live (pgrep for the chromium process,
+HTTP to the CDP relay on the peer IP). Both probes assume the caller's
+network + PID namespace is the bl host's. From a sandboxed shell (own PID
+and net namespaces, no sudo, no route to 10.201.x.x) both probes always
+fail, so every node misreports as STOPPED even with a healthy fleet.
+
+This module provides the fallback signal: evidence written by the
+host-side watchdogs that run on bl unsandboxed via systemd timers:
+
+  - cdp-relay-watchdog (every 5 min, all active registry nodes):
+    log ``cdp-relay-watchdog.log`` + journal unit
+    ``cdp-relay-watchdog.service``. Proves the CDP relay path end to end.
+  - chromebox-watchdog (every 2 min, same nodes, one timer per node):
+    log ``chromebox-watchdog.log`` + journal units
+    ``chromebox-watchdog@<node>.service``. Curls CDP inside the node netns,
+    so it proves browser + in-netns CDP.
+  - ``chromebox-<node>.log`` mtime: chromium's own stdout. Fresh output
+    proves the browser process is alive. Used only for nodes outside
+    watchdog coverage — and only to conclude "alive", never "dead".
+
+Both watchdogs are silent-when-healthy: a failure is ALWAYS logged, so a
+recent timer run (journal "Starting" line) with no newer failure line for
+the node means that run found the node healthy.
+
+Verdicts: "healthy" | "degraded" | "down" | "unknown".

+test touches netns, sudo, or /etc/netvm.
+
+Security boundaries (from the repo's own scripts):
+- Warp identities generate via netvm-new-identity.sh, which the user

+  header). Generation installs a root-0600 conf and prints nothing.
+- This code NEVER reads /etc/netvm and never prints key material.
+  Confs are consumed only by root tools (wg setconf inside netns).

-Side-chat to main-chat work siphon — monitor loop.
+Side-chat to main-chat siphon — monitor loop (INTEGRATED).
 
-Polls side chats for new messages, runs detection, siphons hits to main.
+Changes vs original (integrator):
+  1. Timestamp plumbing (agent 2's open item): message["ts"] is parsed to
+     epoch seconds and passed as message_ts to detect(), enabling the
+     15-minute stale-suppression for COMPLETED. Unparseable/missing ts →
+     backward-compatible (detect proceeds).
+  2. Author plumbing (agent 3 absent): message["author"] is attached to
+     the hit as hit.author, so relays attribute the real author instead
+     of the thread's registered agent.
+  3. Flood control (agent 4 absent): COMPLETED hits are routed to the
+     digest buffer instead of individual main-chat relays. ALERT, BLOCKER,
+     DECISION, MILESTONE still relay individually via siphon().
+  4. Persistent dedup: every processed hit is marked siphoned (including
+     digested ones) so a restart never re-relays or re-digests.
 
 This is the integration point for bl. In production:
   - list_sidechats() calls muse-chat-api.py or the sidechat manager
   - get_messages() reads thread messages via CDP
   - post_to_main() sends via muse-chat-api.py send to main chat
-
-For the prototype, all three are injectable (see tests).
+  - flush_digest() should be called on a schedule (e.g. every 30 min) and
+    its output posted to main chat once.

+---------------
+``muse resume`` scopes its picker by workspace but is blind to muse-auth
+profiles, and the TUI ``/resume`` reads session logs itself and lumps every
+workspace into one heap. A session resumed under a different credential
+than the one that created it fails server-side: the continuation is
+cryptographically bound to the creating account, so the server rejects the
+resume. This tool lists only the sessions that can actually resume here
+and now, and guards ``resume`` calls before they fail.
+
+Data sources (read-only, no secrets)
+------------------------------------
+- ``~/.local/share/muse/session-index.db`` ``sessions`` table (``mode=ro``).
+  Fallback when the index is missing: scan ``sessions/*/*/*/*/session.jsonl``
+  for ``runtime.session.metadata`` (workspace_root) and
+  ``session.name.changed`` (session_name) records, mirroring ``/resume``.
+- ``~/.config/muse/active_profile``, ``session_profiles.json``,
+  ``switch_history.jsonl``: profile *names* only. ``auth.json`` token bytes
+  are never read, logged, or compared.
+
+Profile resolution mirrors ``muse-auth``: cached ``session_profiles.json``
+mapping wins; otherwise the latest switch at or before session start; else
+the earliest switch; else the active profile as fallback. When the auth
+dir is unreadable (e.g. inside the Muse sandbox, which masks it), the
+profile is ``unknown`` and only proven mismatches are hidden/blocked.

+"""muse_session_bind.py — Per-session credential isolation (P3).
+
+Each muse session gets its own config root::
+
+    /tmp/muse-session-<pid>/muse/
+      <everything symlinked from the global config EXCEPT auth.json>
+      auth.json            <- COPY of the bound profile's credentials (0600)
+    /tmp/muse-session-<pid>/bind.json  <- {profile, pid, created, auth_src}
+
+``launch`` execs muse with XDG_CONFIG_HOME pointed at the session dir
+(the binary resolves its config root as $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/muse, else
+$HOME/.config/muse), so switching profiles never disturbs live
+sessions: the fleet-wide 400 outage class disappears by construction.
+Exec (not supervise) preserves the pane's ``muse-bin`` identity, so
+watcher coverage and ``box runtime`` keep working unchanged.
+
+Token refreshes land in the session copy. ``save``/``reap`` copy newer
+bytes back to the profile store (newest-wins across concurrent
+sessions sharing a profile; nothing is ever written to the legacy
+global auth.json). Dead sessions are reaped by scan, so kill -9 loses
+nothing but promptness.
+
+Companion to the peer's muse_resume_pool (which reads
+session_profiles.json): ``launch --session-id`` records the binding
+there for future resume guards.

+3. Regex Auto-Approvals for on-board muse-code runs and autonomous agent workers:
+   - Muse Code execution prompts ("Would you like to run the following... -> 1")
+   - A/B/C choice prompts -> "A"
+   - Numbered menus -> "1"
+   - y/n confirmation prompts -> "y"
+   - Interview navigate+select menus (cursor on 1 -> Enter)
+   - Press Enter prompts -> "Enter"
+   - Safety guardrails (passwords, passkeys, destructive commands are never auto-approved)
+4. State persistence & audit logging:
+   - Desired state in .state/tmux-auto-approvals.json

+its pid changes, or its pid is recycled under us without a witnessed
+death, appends a forensics bundle (dmesg OOM/kill lines, memory,

 ---
 
+## 4.1. Agentic Flows in Tmux Panes (`box flow` & `[TOOL flow.*]`)
+
+Chromebox browser contexts prune and store chat history aggressively, making direct in-chat execution of long-running build, test, and shell tasks token-expensive and prone to context loss. 
+
+To overcome this, Chromebox agents offload multi-turn execution to persistent tmux panes on `/tmp/tmux-muse.sock` using the **Flow Engine** (`bin/flow_engine.py`). Raw stdout/stderr streams to disk (`logs/flows/<flow_id>.log`), and agents read back only concise status and incremental output deltas.
+
+### Lifecycle & Primitives:
+1. **Start Flow**:
+   Spawns pane `flow-<agent>-<id>` and launches command wrapped with an exit code sentinel.
+   ```text
+   [TOOL flow.start {"flow_id": "audit-tests", "command": "python3 -m unittest discover -s tests"}]
+   ```
+   *CLI:* `box flow start audit-tests -c "python3 -m unittest discover -s tests"`
+
+2. **Read Incremental Delta & State**:
+   Inspects the pane for execution state (`working`, `idle`, `waiting_prompt`, `finished`, `failed`), exit code, and reads newly appended log output since the last read cursor.
+   ```text
+   [TOOL flow.read {"flow_id": "audit-tests"}]
+   ```
+   *CLI:* `box flow read audit-tests --lines 40`
+
+3. **Advance or Respond to Prompts**:
+   Sends follow-up commands or keystrokes (such as interactive menu selections) without re-running the whole prompt.
+   ```text
+   [TOOL flow.send {"flow_id": "audit-tests", "command": "git diff"}]
+   [TOOL flow.send {"flow_id": "audit-tests", "keys": "1"}]
+   ```
+   *CLI:* `box flow send audit-tests "git status" --command`
+
+4. **List & Stop**:
+   ```text
+   [TOOL flow.list {}]

+   ```
+   *CLI:* `box flow list` / `box flow stop audit-tests`

+# Box Read-Only Lookups over HTTPS (Agent Access, No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** bl side implemented; VM board REST below is specified, not yet implemented
+**Scope:** read-only lookups only (fleet, threads, unread, dm log). Mutations stay on existing paths.
+
+## 1. Problem
+
+Agents in containers reach box over a 2-hop SSH chain (container → VM → bl).
+SSH toggles lapse and every agent needs the full chain configured. Agents need
+the daily read lookups — "latest from each agent" — over HTTPS with no secrets
+on the wire.
+
+## 2. What exists now (bl side, implemented)
+
+Two agent HTTPS paths already serve reads; both use the same signature auth
+(`ssh-keygen -Y sign`, namespace per server, ±300s clock skew, nonce replay
+cache) and per-agent principals from `dm-signers/allowed_signers`:
+
+| Path | Server | Client | Auth namespace |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Named ops (works today) | `bin/exec-constrained.py` via `https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec` | `bin/exec-sign.sh <op> '<args>'` or `bin/box-relay.sh` (served at `GET /box`) | `exec-constrained` |
+| Typed REST (specified below) | VM board `/srv/board/server.py` | any HTTPS client | `box-api` |
+
+New named ops (this change, all `side_effecting: false`, all in `DEFAULT_PERMS`
+so any valid fleet signer may call them):
+
+- `fleet.unread` `{"agent"?}` → `box-ctl.py unread [--agent X]`
+- `dm.log` `{"limit"?, "agent"?}` (limit 1..100, default 20) → `box-ctl.py dm-log [limit] [--agent X]`
+
+Already present and unchanged: `health.check` (fleet status), `thread.list`,
+`thread.view`, `dm.read`, `chat.messages`.
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands (this change):
+
+```bash
+box unread [<agent>]                 # fleet unread/activity counts
+box dm log [<limit=20>] [--agent <agent>]
+```
+
+New `box-ctl.py` backend verbs (this change; also callable over the board's
+existing SSH bridge until the board speaks REST):
+
+```bash
+box-ctl.py unread [--agent <agent>]
+box-ctl.py dm-log [limit] [--agent <agent>]   # back-compat: bare [limit] unchanged
+```
+
+Also fixed: `box lookup unread` / `muse unread` previously always failed with
+"Unknown lookup target 'unread'" (`_lookup_unreads` was never wired into
+`cmd_lookup`); it now works and supports `--json`.
+
+## 3. VM board REST (to implement on the VM)
+
+Base: `https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box`. All endpoints require
+agent-signature auth (§4) or the existing `ops_session` cookie (humans).
+
+```text
+GET /api/box/fleet            exists today; keep behavior
+GET /api/box/threads?agent=X  backend: box-ctl.py thread-list --agent X (pass JSON through)
+GET /api/box/unread?agent=X   backend: box-ctl.py unread [--agent X]
+GET /api/box/dm/log?limit=N&agent=X
+                              backend: box-ctl.py dm-log [N] [--agent X]
+```
+
+### Agent scoping (server-enforced)
+
+- Verified identity `operator-X` or `X` (X in `muse,pip,646,opm,def,dev`)
+  may only read slices for X. The board MUST pass `--agent X` to box-ctl and
+  MUST NOT accept a different `agent=` query value from that identity.
+- `ops_session` (human PIN login) may omit `agent=` and read the full fleet.
+- Unknown/expired signatures → `401`. Authenticated but out-of-scope → `403`.
+
+### Response schemas (bl verbs pass through unchanged)
+
+`GET /api/box/unread`:
+
+```json
+{"ok": true, "nodes": [
+  {"node": "muse", "unread": 2, "approval_pending": false,
+   "title": "muse (2)", "thread": "abc123-uuid-or-null"}
+]}
+```
+
+`GET /api/box/dm/log` (agent filter matches entries from OR to the agent):
+
+```json
+{"ok": true,
+ "entries": [{"type": "sent", "id": "bdf7beb6", "agent": "opm",
+              "to": "pip", "target": "pip tasks",
+              "ts": "2026-10-06T05:56:01.328629+00:00"}],
+ "dms": ["... same array, legacy key ..."]}
+```
+
+`GET /api/box/fleet`: existing `{"ok": true, "fleet": [...]}` shape, unchanged.
+
+Errors follow `docs/BOX-API-DESIGN-DMS.md` §3.1 (`{"ok": false, "code", "error"}`).
+
+## 4. Agent-signature auth for the REST endpoints
+
+Same identity primitive as signed DMs and `exec-constrained.py`; a signature
+is not a secret, so agents can sign without handling credentials.
+
+1. Client builds the canonical string (LF-separated, no trailing newline):
+
+   ```text
+   {METHOD}\n{PATH}\n{SORTED_QUERY}\n{TS}\n{NONCE}
+   ```
+
+   - `METHOD`: `GET`; `PATH`: e.g. `/api/box/dm/log`; `SORTED_QUERY`: raw
+     query string sorted by key (`agent=opm&limit=5`), empty string when none.
+   - `TS`: unix epoch seconds; `NONCE`: 16–128 hex chars, single use.
+2. Client signs it: `ssh-keygen -Y sign -f <key> -n box-api`.
+3. Client sends headers (armor is base64-encoded to stay header-safe):
+
+   ```text
+   X-Box-Identity: operator-646
+   X-Box-Timestamp: 1728...
+   X-Box-Nonce: <hex>
+   X-Box-Signature: <base64 of the -----BEGIN SSH SIGNATURE----- armor>
+   ```
+
+4. Server recomputes the canonical string from the received request, base64-
+   decodes the signature, and runs `ssh-keygen -Y verify -f allowed_signers
+   -I <identity> -n box-api -s <sigfile>` with the canonical string on stdin.
+   Accept only if: verify exit 0, `|now-TS| ≤ 300`, nonce unseen (cache ≥600s).
+   Signers file is synced from bl `dm-signers/allowed_signers`.
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+TS=$(date +%s); NONCE=$(python3 -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(16))")
+CANON=$(printf 'GET\n/api/box/dm/log\nagent=opm&limit=5\n%s\n%s' "$TS" "$NONCE")
+SIG=$(printf '%s' "$CANON" | ssh-keygen -Y sign -f ~/.ssh/id_frontdoor -n box-api \
+  | base64 -w0)
+curl -s 'https://box.muse-dev.online/api/box/dm/log?agent=opm&limit=5' \
+  -H "X-Box-Identity: operator-646" -H "X-Box-Timestamp: $TS" \
+  -H "X-Box-Nonce: $NONCE" -H "X-Box-Signature: $SIG"
+```
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- `exec-constrained.py` reads `OPS` at startup: restart the service after
+  deploying for `fleet.unread` / `dm.log` to appear in `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  `unread` / `dm log`.
+- Until the VM board implements §3, agents use the named-ops path (§2),
+  which needs no SSH today.
+- Non-goals: write endpoints (`dm.send` etc. stay on the ops path for now),
+  PIN/human flows (unchanged), secret handling (no secrets cross the wire).

+# Box Approvals over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus fast node validation and
+`quality-validate` branches; `approvals.py` untouched)
+**Scope:** approval visibility (check) + governed decisions (deny, auto,
+one-shot allow). Persistent/forced allow (`--always`/`--force`) stays
+SSH-only.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents blocked on browser approvals needed SSH to see fleet approval
+state, deny a bad prompt, auto-resolve trusted prompts, or allow a
+known-good one. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or Bearer [REDACTED], named-op
+allowlist, audit log).
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Access |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `approval.check` | `{node?}` (default fleet) | `box-ctl.py approval-check` | read-only, in `DEFAULT_PERMS` |
+| `approval.deny` | `{node!, message!, allow_main_chat?}` | `box-ctl.py approval-deny` | known-identities-only |
+| `approval.auto` | `{node?}` (default fleet) | `box-ctl.py approval-auto` | known-identities-only |
+| `approval.allow` | `{node!, message!, allow_main_chat?}` | `box-ctl.py approval-allow` (one-shot) | known-identities-only |
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:
+
+```bash
+box approvals check [node]
+box approvals allow <node> --message <text> [--allow-main-chat]
+box approvals deny <node> --message <text> [--allow-main-chat]
+box approvals auto [node]
+```
+
+Raw op calls (signature auth, no token):
+
+```bash
+exec-sign.sh approval.check '{}'
+exec-sign.sh approval.check '{"node": "646"}'
+exec-sign.sh approval.allow '{"node": "646", "message": "trusted deploy script"}'
+exec-sign.sh approval.auto '{"node": "opm"}'
+```
+
+## 3. What the decisions do
+
+- `approval.allow` clicks Allow **once** on the node's active prompt.
+  There is deliberately no remote `--always` (persistent site allow)
+  or `--force`.
+- `approval.deny` clicks Deny on the node's active prompt.
+- `approval.auto` scans (fleet or one node) and allows only TRUSTED
+  non-key prompts. Key/passkey approvals are never auto-approved;
+  they need an explicit allow/deny, which notifies the waiting agent.
+- All three are audited with identity + op + node.
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Attribution is mandatory.** The allow/deny flows DM the waiting
+  agent, historically with an `[operator]` prefix. A remote caller is
+  an agent, not the operator — so the exec layer **requires** a
+  non-empty `message` (≤2000 chars, no controls) on both allow and
+  deny. (`box-ctl.py` still permits omitting `--message` for SSH
+  callers; the HTTPS layer is the narrower gate.)
+- **One-shot only.** The allow argv never carries `--always` or
+  `--force`; the validators reject those keys. Persistence stays an
+  SSH-side decision.
+- **Sidechat-first.** `allow_main_chat` defaults to false; Main Chat
+  delivery needs the explicit flag, same as `notify`/`dm.ack`.
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Nodes must be fleet members (fast
+  `BAD_NODE` before any CDP probe — `approval-check`/`approval-auto`
+  gained the same node check allow/deny already had); unknown arg
+  keys rejected.
+- **Timeouts.** Check 180s (fleet CDP scan), auto 300s (scan plus one
+  click per trusted prompt), allow/deny 120s.
+- **Retry-safe reads.** `approval-check` / `approval-list` joined
+  `IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`; all six approval verbs have
+  `quality-validate` dry-run branches.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the 4 new ops to
+  appear in `GET /ops` (repo total becomes 83).
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to
+  get the `approvals` group.
+- While fleet browsers crash-loop, decision ops fail honestly
+  (`APPROVAL_FAILED` / CDP errors) instead of hanging; check still
+  reports per-node state including `UNREACHABLE`.
+- Non-goals: deletes, `main-loop` enable/disable, policy writes,

+# Box Dev + Comms over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-ctl.py` + `box-relay.sh`)
+**Scope:** git visibility, test runs, notify, work-order acks. Read-only lookups
+live in `docs/BOX-API-READ-HTTPS.md`.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents developing the box must inspect the tree, run the suite, nudge peers,
+and acknowledge work orders without SSH. All of this now rides the existing
+agent HTTPS path (`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer
+auth, named-op allowlist, audit log) — no new trust model.
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Write? | Who |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `git.status` | `{}` | `box-ctl.py git-status` | no | any valid signer |
+| `git.diff` | `{path?, stat?}` | `box-ctl.py git-diff [--stat] [--path p]` | no | any valid signer |
+| `git.log` | `{limit?, path?}` (1..50, default 10) | `box-ctl.py git-log` | no | any valid signer |
+| `tests.run` | `{test?, filter?}` (`tests.<module>` or full suite; `filter` is unittest `-k`) | `box-ctl.py tests-run [module] [--filter p]` | yes (executes) | known identities only |
+| `notify.send` | `{agent, message≤1000, sidechat?, sender?}` | `box-ctl.py notify ...` | yes (sends DM) | known identities only |
+| `dm.ack` | `{id, to, sender!, sidechat?, allow_main_chat?}` | `box-ctl.py ack ...` | yes (sends DM) | known identities only |
+
+New `box-ctl.py` verbs: `git-status`, `git-diff`, `git-log`, `tests-run`,
+`ack` (all in `USAGE`, `quality-validate`, and — for the git reads —
+`IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`).
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:
+
+```bash
+box git status
+box git diff [--stat] [--path <path>]     # path also accepted positionally
+box git log [<limit=10>] [--path <path>]
+box tests run [tests.<module>] [--filter <pattern>]  # full suite (~2-3 min) when omitted; filter is -k
+box notify <agent> [--sidechat <n>] [--sender <a>] <message...>
+box dm ack <id> --to <agent> --sender <agent> [--sidechat <name>]
+```
+
+Raw op call (signature auth, no token):
+
+```bash
+exec-sign.sh git.log '{"limit": 5, "path": "bin/dm.py"}'
+exec-sign.sh tests.run '{"test": "tests.test_box_dev_https"}'
+exec-sign.sh dm.ack '{"id": "bdf7beb6", "to": "pip", "sender": "opm"}'
+```
+
+## 3. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Clients influence only whitelisted argument
+  values. Git paths must be repo-relative without `..` (plus symlink-escape
+  check in box-ctl); test modules must match `^tests\.[a-z0-9_]+$` and exist;
+  ack ids must be 6–64 hex; notify messages ≤1000 chars.
+- **Caps.** `git diff` output capped at 64KB, status at 200 entries, test
+  output at 32KB tail; every capped response carries `truncated: true`.
+- **Sidechat-first.** `notify.send` and `dm.ack` default to the recipient's
+  sidechat and never touch Main Chat unless `allow_main_chat` is set —
+  mirroring `box-ctl.py notify` and the WO dispatcher.
+- **Attribution.** `sender` is caller-asserted (validated ∈ fleet agents),
+  same as the existing `dm.send` op; the HTTPS identity is recorded
+  separately in the exec audit log. `dm.ack` requires an explicit sender —
+  no silent default.
+- **tests.run executes repo code** (whatever is in `tests/`), so it is
+  `side_effecting`, excluded from the read-only default permission subset,
+  and capped at a 600s timeout. Test failures report as
+  `{"ok": false, "returncode", "output"}` — the op itself succeeded.
+- New `box-ctl.py` fail codes `GIT_ERROR` / `TESTS_ERROR` are registered in
+  `KNOWN_ERROR_CODES`, so `quality-check` stays at its baseline.
+
+## 4. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the new ops to appear in
+  `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  `git` / `tests` / `notify` / `dm ack`.
+- Non-goals: git commit/push, service restarts for box itself, live
+  streaming tails — future expansions, same pattern.

+# Box Job Lifecycle over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed)
+**Scope:** safe job-lifecycle mutations. Deletes are deliberately NOT
+exposed (`job-delete`, `timer-delete` stay SSH/operator-only).
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents own scheduled automation but could only run jobs (`cron.run`) or read
+them (`box.exec`). Creating, updating, triggering, chaining, previewing, and
+pausing jobs needed SSH. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer auth, named-op
+allowlist, audit log).
+
+## 2. New ops
+
+| Op | Args | Backend | Write? | Who |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `job.put` | `{name, definition}` | `box-ctl.py job-put` (definition on stdin) | yes (writes + commits) | known identities only |

+| `job.next` | `{job_id, success?}` | `box-ctl.py job-next` | no (dry-run) | any valid signer |
+| `cron.timer_stop` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py timer-stop` | yes (systemd) | known identities only |
+| `cron.timer_disable` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py timer-disable` | yes (systemd) | known identities only |
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:
+
+```bash
+box cron put <name> '<json-definition>'   # create or update (see §3)
+box cron trigger <name>                   # dispatch now (audited JSON)
+box cron chain <from> <to> [--on-failure] # wire chain_next
+box cron next <job-id> [--success|--fail] # dry-run: what dispatches next
+box timer stop <name>                     # pause schedule (keeps unit)
+box timer disable <name>                  # pause schedule (disables unit)
+```
+
+Raw op call (signature auth, no token):
+
+```bash
+exec-sign.sh job.next '{"job_id": "heartbeat-20200101-000000-deadbeef"}'
+exec-sign.sh job.chain '{"from": "ops-audit-step2", "to": "ops-audit-step3"}'
+```
+
+Notes:
+
+- `job.trigger` vs existing `job.run`: `job.run` shells straight to
+  `job-dispatch.py` and relays raw output; `job.trigger` goes through
+  `box-ctl.py` (existence check, 300s bound, audit trail, JSON contract).
+  Prefer `job.trigger` for agent-driven dispatches.
+- `job.next` job ids look like `<name>-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<8hex>`; with no
+  `success` flag the box infers it from the last recorded result.
+
+## 3. Job definition shape (`job.put`)
+
+The full schema is enforced by `box-ctl.py validate_job` (single copy);
+required fields: `name` (must match the argv name), `schedule` (`manual`
+or convertible cron), `agent` (fleet member), `prompt_template` (1–4000
+chars, no protocol literals, known `{placeholders}` only). `timeout`
+60–3600s, `on_failure` policy, optional `chain_next` (must exist) and
+`sidechat` / `dm_target` routing. `box-ctl.py` writes `jobs/<name>.json`
+and commits (`Add/Update job <name> via box-ctl`).
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Job names match
+  `^[a-z0-9][a-z0-9-]{0,63}$`; trigger/chain/timer ops require the job
+  file to exist; chain rejects self-links and cycles; timer ops require
+  the unit to exist. All checks run before any side effect.
+- **Stdin plumbing.** `job.put` is the first op to pipe a request body to
+  `box-ctl.py` stdin (the raw definition, not the envelope); the routing
+  lives in one helper (`_stdin_body`) covered by unit tests.
+- **No deletes, no kills.** `job-delete` / `timer-delete` are reachable
+  only over the operator SSH path, by explicit scope decision.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op + args hash;
+  `box-ctl.py` additionally audits each mutation with its target.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the new ops to appear in
+  `GET /ops`.
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to get
+  the `cron put|trigger|chain|next` and `timer stop|disable` commands.

+# Box Loop + Strategy Writes over HTTPS (No SSH)
+
+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus a vars-name validator fix)
+**Scope:** safe loop/strategy/variable mutations. Reads (`loop-status`,
+`loop-health`, `loop-breaks`, `strat-get`, `vars-get`, ...) already ride
+`box.exec` or typed read ops and are unchanged here.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents watching loop health could see breaks but needed SSH to remediate
+them, resolve stale followups, tune strategy overrides, or undo variable
+changes. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or bearer auth, named-op
+allowlist, audit log).
+
+## 2. New ops (all known-identities-only, none in the read-only subset)

+| `strat.reset` | `{type!, subtype?, agent?}` | `box-ctl.py strat-reset` |
+| `vars.reset` | `{name}` | `box-ctl.py vars-reset` (restore default) |
+| `vars.rollback` | `{name, revision?}` (int step or timestamp) | `box-ctl.py vars-rollback` |
+
+New `box-relay.sh` client commands:

+```bash
+box loop remediate [--dry-run]
+box loop resolve <dm_id> [note...]
+box strat set <type> [--subtype S] [--agent A] [--track true|false] [--priority p] [--timeout N] [--nudges N] [--escalate E]
+box strat reset <type> [subtype] [--agent <agent>]

+exec-sign.sh strat.set '{"type": "job", "priority": "important", "nudges": 3}'
+```
+
+## 3. What remediate does (non-dry)
+
+`loop.remediate` delegates to `gravity.remediate_breaks`: resolves
+followups already answered in logs, re-arms expired followups with nudges
+remaining (runs the followup sweeper once), auto-allows TRUSTED (non-key)
+browser approvals, and on hard breaks appends a `hard_break_alert` to
+job-log plus one DM to opm. Use `{"dry_run": true}` first to preview the
+`remediated` / `escalated` lists with zero side effects.
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Strategy types are a strict enum
+  (`wake|job|siphon|manual|health|heartbeat`) — the backend silently maps
+  typos to MANUAL, so the op rejects them instead. Priorities are a
+  strict enum; timeouts/nudges must be integers (backend clamps);
+  dm ids must be 6–64 hex; variable names mirror the engine identifier
+  rule. All checks run before any side effect.
+- **Stdin-free.** Unlike `job.put`, `strat.set` passes its JSON payload
+  as an argv token (`strat-set <type> [JSON]`), so no new stdin plumbing
+  was needed.
+- **Vars-name validator fix.** `quality-validate` for all five vars
+  verbs used the job-name regex (`^[a-z0-9-]{1,64}$`), rejecting every
+  real variable name (`max_nudge_count`, ...). They now share
+  `qv_var_name` (`^[A-Za-z0-9_.-]{1,64}$`), mirroring the
+  `exec-constrained.py` rule.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op + args hash;
+  `box-ctl.py` additionally audits each mutation with its target.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes

+> **Box is the main surface.** All operator work goes through Box (box.muse-dev.online). The web UI, `box` CLI, and agents share the same API endpoints. No UI-only powers.
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-06
+**Status:** implemented on bl (`exec-constrained.py` + `box-relay.sh`;
+`box-ctl.py` verbs pre-existed, plus traversal hardening, output caps,
+`--stdin` content plumbing, and hyphenated amend/append/pull aliases)
+**Scope:** md reads (audit/list/read/diff) + governed writes
+(amend/append/pull/inject-drive/sync-all). Raw container writes
+(`md-write`) stay SSH-only by design.
+
+## 1. Why
+
+Agents shaping fleet behavior could see drive scores but needed SSH to
+read an agent's `SOUL.md`, diff it against the canonical template, or
+push updated operator files. All of this now rides the agent HTTPS path
+(`https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec`, signature or Bearer [REDACTED], named-op

+
+## 2. New ops
+
+Reads (all `side_effecting: false`, all in `DEFAULT_PERMS`):

+| Op | Args | Backend |

+exec-sign.sh md.append '{"filename": "AGENTS.md", "text": "lesson ...", "author": "646"}'
+```
+
+## 3. What the governed writes do
+
+- `md.amend` rewrites a `shared/operators/` template after the
+  drive-safety checks (HEARTBEAT checklist not gutted,
+  PROACTIVE_PREFERENCES not blanked, SOUL not reverted to stock),
+  then git-commits it. Full-file content rides stdin (up to 256KB).
+- `md.append` appends a timestamped, attributed note (optional section)
+  via the same validated + committed path (up to 64KB).
+- `md.pull` / `md.inject_drive` / `md.sync_all` push canonical
+  templates *out* to containers; no agent-supplied content crosses.
+  Injection always overwrites (AGENTS.md preserves remote `## Lessons`).
+
+## 4. Safety notes (same posture as existing ops)
+
+- **Traversal hardening (single-copy in `agent_md.py`).** Account,
+  filename, and list-path validation now lives in `agent_md.py`
+  (`MDValidationError`, raised before any gateway call or write);
+  `box-ctl.py` maps it to `BAD_NAME`, and exec ops + quality-validate
+  mirror the same shapes. Previously `md-read 646 ../x` reached the
+  gateway and `md amend ../../x` could escape `shared/operators/`.
+  Template flows (diff/amend/append/pull) additionally require one of
+  the 8 known template names.
+- **Fixed argv, validated values.** Unknown arg keys rejected; author /
+  reason / section are control-char-free with length caps; amend
+  content must be non-empty.
+- **Caps with `truncated` flags.** Reads cap at 64KB, diffs at 64KB,
+  listings at 200 entries — same convention as git/tests verbs.
+- **No raw `md-write` op.** Arbitrary content-to-container stays
+  SSH-only; remote writes go through the validated template flows.
+- **Timeouts.** Audit 300s, sync-all 600s, single-file ops 120s.
+- **Audited.** Every execution records identity + op; `box-ctl.py`
+  additionally audits each verb with its target.
+- **Retry-safe reads.** `md-audit` / `md-list` / `md-read` / `md-diff`
+  joined `IDEMPOTENT_ACTIONS`; all ten md verbs have
+  `quality-validate` dry-run branches.
+
+## 5. Rollout notes
+
+- Restart `exec-constrained.py` after deploy for the 9 new ops to
+  appear in `GET /ops` (repo total becomes 79).
+- `box-relay.sh` is served from bl (`GET /box`); agents re-fetch to
+  get the `md` group.
+- Non-goals: deletes, `main-loop` enable/disable, policy writes,

+# Box Stability Watcher & Host Load Mitigation
+
+**Date:** 2026-10-07  
+**Scope:** Host `bl` (100.123.153.75), NetVM execution stability, and preventative runaway containment.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Incident Post-Mortem (2026-10-07)
+
+### Symptoms
+- Host `bl` stopped responding over SSH and Tailscale ("went dark") at ~16:44 UTC.
+- Connections timed out during SSH banner exchange (`Connection timed out during banner exchange`).
+- Tailscale direct connections dropped, failing back to DERP relay `nyc` before dropping entirely.
+
+### Forensics & Root Cause
+1. **Tmux Memory Leak & OOM Killer:**
+   - At 16:44:52 UTC, `systemd` triggered an OOM-kill on `tmux.service`:
+     ```
+     tmux.service: Consumed 5h 52min 34s CPU time ... 22.3G memory peak, 1.3G memory swap peak.
+     tmux.service: Failed with result "oom-kill".
+     ```
+   - Multiple `muse-bin` worker processes running inside background tmux windows had accumulated 22.3 GB of memory against the host 28 GB RAM and 4 GB swap.
+2. **Avalanche Load Spike (Load Avg: 515.17):**
+   - The unconstrained crash triggered core dump collection (`systemd-coredump`) and simultaneous resurrection of multiple background sessions.
+   - Host 1-minute load average spiked to **515.17** (on a 16-core CPU), starving kernel network processing and dropping incoming SSH and Tailscale packets.
+3. **Crash Loop Contributor:**
+   - Concurrently, `audio-patchbay.service` was stuck in a tight infinite failure loop (restarting >1,075,000 times) due to a headless GTK initialization panic, generating relentless fork/exit churn.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Hardening Measures Implemented
+
+### A. Dedicated Watcher Directory (`Projects/NetVM/watchers/`)
+Created a dedicated project folder inside `Projects/NetVM/` containing:
+- `watchers/box-stability-watcher.py`: Core stability supervisor.
+- `watchers/box-stability.json`: Operational configuration & thresholds.
+- `watchers/README.md`: Architecture and usage guide.
+- `bin/box-stability-watcher.py`: Symlink for operator CLI access.
+
+### B. Proactive Mitigation Tiers
+- **Tier GREEN (<20 load, <80% RAM):** Passive observation.
+- **Tier YELLOW (20-35 load, 80-90% RAM):** Renices rogue CPU hogs to `nice +15` to protect interactive SSH and Tailscale responsiveness.
+- **Tier ORANGE (35-60 load, >90% RAM, or process RSS >3000MB):** Proactively sends `SIGTERM` to individual leaky worker processes (`muse-bin`, headless renderers) before system memory is exhausted and kernel OOM kills `tmux.service`.
+- **Tier RED (>60 load, >95% RAM, or >92% Swap):** Emergency shedder that terminates non-protected heavy consumers (>1500MB) to avert complete system lockup.
+
+### C. Systemd Hardening & Service Cleanup
+1. **Disabled Runaway Service:** Stopped and disabled `audio-patchbay.service`, instantly halting 1M+ iterations of process restart overhead.
+2. **Cgroup Memory Limits on `tmux.service`:** Configured `MemoryHigh=18G` and `MemoryMax=22G` in `~/.config/systemd/user/tmux.service` so that a rogue subagent cannot consume 100% of the host RAM.
+3. **Daemonized Watcher:** Enabled `box-stability-watcher.service` as a persistent user systemd service with a 256MB memory cap and automatic restart.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Verification
+
+- Watcher unit test suite: `tests/test_box_stability_watcher.py` (10/10 tests passed).
+- Live evaluation: `box-stability-watcher.py --status` reports `GREEN` with host load normalized to ~2.5.

+## 2. Tmux Auto-Approval Regex Match Engine
+
+The auto-approval engine monitors scrollback across all agent panes and matches approval prompts against priority rules:
+
+| Rule ID | Category | Trigger Pattern | Response Key | Press Enter | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `muse_code_run_numbered` | `muse_code` | `Would you like to run the following[\s\S]*?›\s*1\.\s*Yes,?\s*proceed` | `1` | `false` | Muse Code interactive run menu (selects option 1) |
+| `muse_code_run_yn` | `muse_code` | `›\s*1\.\s*Yes,?\s*proceed\s*\(y\)` | `1` | `false` | Active selection indicator on `1. Yes, proceed (y)` |
+| `muse_code_allow_execution` | `muse_code` | `Allow\s+execution\s+of\b[\s\S]*?\[y/N\]` | `y` | `true` | Approves script execution confirmation |
+| `choice_abc` | `choice` | `(?i)(?:choose\|choice\|select)[\s\S]*?^\s*[A-Z]\s*[.\)\-:]\s+\S` | `A` | `true` | Lettered decision choice menus |
+| `menu_numbered` | `menu` | `(?i)(?:Option:\|Selection:)[\s\S]*?^\s*\(?1\)?\s+[A-Za-z]` | `1` | `true` | Numbered selection menus |
+| `confirm_yn` | `confirm` | `([yY]/[nN]\|\[[yY]/[nN]\])\s*[\]:)>]?\s*$` | `y` | `true` | Line-end confirmation prompts |
+| `enter_to_continue` | `enter` | `(?i)(?:Press\s+\[?Enter\]?\s+to\s+continue)` | `Enter` | `false` | Enter-to-continue banners |
+
+### Guardrails (Never Auto-Approved)
+- `[sudo] password for ...` / `password:` prompts
+- Passkeys, private key passphrases, and PIN prompts
+- Destructive operations (`rm -rf /`, `mkfs.*`)
+
+When a guardrail pattern is detected, the engine flags `is_blocked=true`, emits a warning audit log, and notifies the human operator.

+
+Available via `https://exec.muse-dev.online/exec` with signature verification:
+
+| Op | Parameters | Description | Permission |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `tmux.tally` | `{}` | Returns complete worker tally across all sockets (JSON) | `DEFAULT_PERMS` (Read-only) |

+
+## 5. Audit Logging
+
+Every auto-approval and blocked guardrail event is written to:
+`/home/super/Projects/NetVM/logs/tmux/auto-approvals.jsonl`
+
+Sample event payload:
+```json
+{
+  "action": "AUTO_APPROVED",

+## Fleet Status From Blind Shells
+
+`box fleet status` probes live (pgrep + peer-IP CDP). Sandboxed shells
+(own PID/net namespaces, no sudo, no route to 10.201.x.x) fail both
+probes for every node. Instead of misreporting STOPPED, fleet status
+falls back to host watchdog evidence (`bin/host_evidence.py`):
+
+- Recent watchdog timer runs (journal) with no newer failure line in
+  `cdp-relay-watchdog.log` / `chromebox-watchdog.log` (both are
+  silent-when-healthy) prove the node is up → `ACTIVE [*]`.
+- `UNKNOWN` means neither live probes nor host evidence could decide
+  (e.g. watchdog timers not installed yet for that node).
+- Host evidence never overrides a live local signal, so a fresh outage
+  observed on the host always wins over a minutes-old watchdog run.
+
+Same rule drives `box approvals check`: `BLIND` = CDP ok on host, this
+shell cannot reach it; approval queues are unverified, not clear.
