Aga is the Agha of +the Janissaries in the Ottoman metaphor -- chief of the guard corps, +commander of the security perimeter. Aga manages dangerous secrets +(GitHub tokens, API keys, database credentials) and provisions grants so +Janissary can inject credentials at the proxy level. Talks to Sultan via +Telegram. + +Aga is trusted and instructed, not constrained. It has full host access +but follows policy: dangerous secrets live in OpenBao and reach Janissary +only as grant records in Divan; they never enter a province container. + +## Responsibilities + +1. **Secret provisioning** -- mint or retrieve tokens via OpenBao + (GitHub App installation tokens, DB creds, SSH certs; KV fallback for + Sultan-pasted tokens). Write grants to Divan so Janissary can inject + them into request headers. +2. **Grant lifecycle** -- provision default grants when a new province + appears in Divan, renew lease-bound grants before expiry while the + province is running, revoke all grants when a province is destroyed. +3. **GitHub App integration** -- hold the Sultanate GitHub App private + key (in OpenBao KV), mint short-lived installation tokens per-province + scoped to the province's repo. Renew every ~15 min while the province + is running. +4. **Non-HTTP access** -- read berat port declarations from Divan, ask + Sultan for approval via Telegram, then open specific host:port pairs + via iptables/Docker network rules (requires root) and provision + service tokens. No auto-approve -- every port opening requires + Sultan's decision. +5. **Whitelist management** -- update per-source whitelists in Divan on + Sultan's instruction. +6. **Blacklist management** -- update the global blacklist in Divan on + Sultan's instruction. May recommend additions to Sultan based on + patterns observed in Divan audit (repeated Kashif blocks against + a domain, lease-expired abuse, etc.). +7. **Appeal / access-request context** -- for escalated appeals (Kashif + verdict = `escalate`) and Kashif-blocked events, Aga polls Divan + audit and Telegram-messages Sultan with behavioural context + (e.g., "prov-a1b2c3 has 3 Kashif blocks in 10 min against unfamiliar + domains; consider destroying"). + +## What Aga Does NOT Do (MVP) + +- No content inspection of its own (Kashif's job; all Aga's LLM-context + ingress is pre-screened by Kashif) +- No automated access-request approval (Sultan decides; Aga adds context) +- No complex audit queries via dashboard (dashboard is read-only; Aga + answers questions by polling Divan in the background) +- No blacklist curation from raw traffic patterns beyond simple + counters (session-aware analysis deferred) + +## Trust Model + +| Property | Value | +|----------|-------| +| **User** | root | +| **Network** | Direct host networking (Aga is trusted; does not route through Janissary) | +| **Egress** | Telegram API + OpenBao (127.0.0.1) + GitHub API (for App token minting) only | +| **Ingress** | Telegram (Sultan) only. All Pasha-originated content and fetched web content is pre-screened by Kashif before reaching Aga's LLM context. | +| **Divan access** | Read provinces, read/write grants, read/write whitelists, read/write blacklist, read/write appeal decisions, read/write port_requests, write audit | +| **OpenBao access** | Aga is the sole OpenBao client. Authenticates via AppRole at startup. | + +Aga's trust boundary is wider than any other component's. Sultan's one-time +GitHub App setup and Telegram commands are Aga's only inputs; everything +else flows through Divan (which is itself screened at write time by +component-role permissions). + +## Grant Lifecycle (GitHub App, Phase 1 default) + +``` +1. Vizier creates province prov-a1b2c3 for repo stranma/EFM. + Writes to Divan: POST /provinces + { id, name, ip=10.13.13.5, berat=openclaw-coding-berat, + status=creating, firman=openclaw-firman, repo=stranma/EFM }. + +2. Aga polls Divan every ~5 s, sees new province. + +3. Aga reads the Sultanate GitHub App private key from OpenBao KV + (kv/github-app/private-key). The key was placed at first boot by + the deploy script prompting Sultan. + +4. Aga mints an installation access token: + - Generate a JWT signed with the App private key + - POST /app/installations/{installation_id}/access_tokens to GitHub + with { repository: ["stranma/EFM"] } + - GitHub returns { token, expires_at } (TTL 1 hour) + +5. Aga writes the grant to Divan: POST /grants + { + province_id: "prov-a1b2c3", + source_ip: "10.13.13.5", + match: { domain: "api.github.com" }, + inject: { header: "Authorization", value: "" }, + openbao_lease_id: null, // GitHub App tokens are + // minted by Aga directly, + // not by an OpenBao engine + lease_expires_at: "" + } + Additional grant for github.com (git clone/push over HTTPS) with + the same token. + +6. Aga writes the berat's default whitelist to Divan. + +7. Aga updates its internal renewal schedule: renew this grant when + lease_expires_at < now + 20 min. + +8. Janissary polls /janissary/state, picks up the new grant + + whitelist, starts injecting on province traffic. + +9. Vizier updates province status=running. + +Renewal loop (every ~15 min): + - For each active grant where lease_expires_at < now + 20 min AND + the province status is "running": + - Mint a fresh installation token (repeat step 4) + - PATCH /grants/{id} with new inject.value and new + lease_expires_at. + - Janissary picks up the new value on its next 5 s poll. + +Province destroyed: + 10. Vizier updates Divan: status=destroying + 11. Aga sees status change: + - Stops renewing grants for this province. + - For KV-mode grants (no lease): explicitly revokes in OpenBao + KV, deletes grant record from Divan. + - For dynamic-mode grants (lease-bound): revokes the underlying + OpenBao lease and deletes the grant record. Even if Aga + crashes here, the GitHub-App-token expires within 1 hour + naturally -- no forgotten zombies. + 12. Janissary stops injecting on next poll. +``` + +## Grant Lifecycle (KV fallback) + +For services without a dynamic mint path (non-GitHub, third-party APIs +Aga cannot automate against), Sultan pastes a token via Telegram once: + +``` +1. Sultan: "Store this for prov-a1b2c3, api.example.com: + xyz-secret-token" +2. Aga: stores in OpenBao KV at kv/provinces/prov-a1b2c3/api.example.com +3. Aga: POST /grants with inject.value=, + openbao_lease_id=null, lease_expires_at=null +4. Janissary injects unconditionally (no expiry check for null leases) +5. Token lives until Sultan tells Aga to revoke +``` + +## Sultan Interactions + +Sultan talks to Aga via a dedicated Telegram bot: + +- **GitHub App setup (one-time):** + - Aga at first boot: "Drop the Sultanate GitHub App private key PEM + into /opt/sultanate/bootstrap/github-app.pem, or paste it to me + here and I'll stash it." + - Sultan provides the key. Aga writes it to OpenBao KV. Deletes the + bootstrap file. + +- **Day-to-day (unprompted by Sultan):** + - Aga mints, renews, and revokes GitHub tokens automatically. + +- **Sultan requests (on demand):** + - "Add github.com/stranma/new-repo write access for prov-a1b2c3" + -> Aga ensures the GitHub App is installed on that repo (if not, + replies with the install URL Sultan must click); + mints a token scoped to the repo; writes grant to Divan. + - "Revoke prov-a1b2c3's GitHub access" + -> Aga deletes grants from Divan; token expires naturally at + GitHub-TTL. + - "Whitelist example.com for prov-a1b2c3" + -> Aga writes to Divan whitelists. + - "Blacklist badsite.com" + -> Aga writes to Divan blacklist. + - "Store this token for prov-a1b2c3, : " + -> KV fallback path. + +- **Unsolicited alerts from Aga:** + - "prov-a1b2c3 has had 3 Kashif blocks in 10 min against + unfamiliar paste sites.

Audit entry (severity=info). + +## 6. Whitelist and Blacklist Management + +Sultan instructs Aga via Telegram. Aga translates to Divan API calls. +Routine Sultan commands (whitelist/blacklist edits, queries) skip +Kashif: they are structured directives, not free-form content, so +there is no prompt-injection surface to screen. Sultan-pasted *secret +material* (e.g., the KV-fallback token-paste flow in §3) IS screened +via Kashif `/screen/ingress` with `source: sultan` -- not because +Sultan is untrusted, but to detect smuggled instructions or prompt +injection embedded inside the pasted payload before Aga acts on it. + +### Whitelist Operations + +**"Whitelist example.com for province prov-a1b2c3":** + +``` +POST http://127.0.0.1:8600/whitelists/prov-a1b2c3/domains +Content-Type: application/json + +{ "domain": "example.com" } +``` + +**"Remove example.com from province prov-a1b2c3 whitelist":** + +``` +DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8600/whitelists/prov-a1b2c3/domains/example.com +``` + +**"Show whitelist for province prov-a1b2c3":** + +``` +GET http://127.0.0.1:8600/whitelists/prov-a1b2c3 +``` + +### Blacklist Operations + +**"Add badsite.com to the blacklist":** + +``` +POST http://127.0.0.1:8600/blacklist/domains + +{ "domain": "badsite.com" } +``` + +**"Remove badsite.com from the blacklist":** + +``` +DELETE http://127.0.0.1:8600/blacklist/domains/badsite.com +``` + +All operations are idempotent. Blacklist takes priority over whitelist +(see `DIVAN_API_SPEC.md`). + +## 7. Appeal Escalation and Kashif-Block Alerts + +Aga participates in the appeal flow as Sultan's context-builder. + +### Appeal-escalation poll (every ~10 s) + +``` +GET /appeals?status=pending&kashif_verdict=escalate +``` + +For each escalated appeal, Aga: + +1. Reads the appeal record (justification, url, province_id). +2. Reads recent audit for that province + (`GET /audit?province_id=&limit=50`). +3. Composes an advisory message to Sultan via Telegram, e.g.: + + > Province `prov-a1b2c3` appeal to `pastebin-clone.xyz` NEEDS + > DECISION. Kashif: escalate (notes: "pastebin-ish URL, small + > payload, code-like content"). Recent behaviour: 2 similar + > uploads in the last hour. My take: this looks like genuine + > test-failure sharing, but pastebin is a classic exfiltration + > vector. If you approve, I'd suggest one-time only. + > Approve once / approve forever / deny / kill province? + + Vizier also sends the formal decision prompt. Aga's message is + advisory; Sultan makes the call via Vizier's prompt. + +### Kashif-block alert poll (every ~30 s) + +``` +GET /audit?severity=alert&component=kashif&since= +``` + +Aga maintains an in-memory per-province counter: + +```python +self.kashif_block_counts = defaultdict(lambda: deque(maxlen=50)) +# province_id -> deque[(timestamp, kashif_notes)] +``` + +On each poll, append new entries. When the count within any 10-minute +window exceeds a threshold (default **3**), send an unsolicited alert: + +> prov-a1b2c3 has 3 Kashif blocks in 10 min, all against unfamiliar +> paste/storage sites. Recent targets: pastebin-clone.xyz (2x), +> file.io (1x).

Violating them in a doc edit is almost always wrong: + +- **Ottoman naming is load-bearing, not decorative.** The metaphor encodes the trust hierarchy (Sultan → trusted core → untrusted Pashas) and the governance model. See the glossary section in `SULTANATE_MVP.md`. Use the Ottoman term (Pasha, Province, Firman, Berat, Divan, Realm, Aga) consistently — introducing alternate names ("agent", "container", "template") inside PRD prose blurs the model. First use per document may gloss the term, e.g. "Pasha (agent inside a province)". +- **One-way dependencies via Divan.** No component calls another directly for *state coordination*. Vizier writes province state → Divan; Aga reads Divan and reacts; Janissary reads Divan rules; Kashif writes appeal verdicts to Divan. If a proposed flow has component A coordinating *state* with component B, route it through Divan instead. **Exception — synchronous capability calls to stateless services:** Janissary and Aga may call Kashif's `/screen/appeal` and `/screen/ingress` endpoints directly via HTTP. Kashif holds no per-component state, the call is a pure function (input → verdict), and routing through Divan would add 5-15 s of poll-cycle latency to every appeal without security benefit. Kashif still writes its verdict to Divan (audit + appeal record); only the synchronous request/response path is direct. +- **Janissary is dumb and has no outbound of its own.** No LLM, no content evaluation, no internet access beyond forwarding. Deterministic rule application only. Intelligence lives in Kashif (paranoid LLM screener) and Aga (trusted advisor agent). +- **Fail-closed everywhere.** Divan unreachable → Janissary uses last-cached rules; no cache → block all. Kashif unresponsive or timed out → treat as `escalate` (never auto-approve). OpenBao sealed → Aga cannot mint new tokens; existing valid leases keep working; expired leases fail closed on Janissary injection. Never propose "fail open" or "pass-through on degraded service" behavior. +- **Aga is trusted but guarded.** All Aga ingress — appeal justifications, fetched web content, access request text, any Pasha-originated text — is pre-screened by Kashif for prompt injection before reaching Aga's LLM context. Aga cannot expand its own whitelist; only Sultan can. +- **Network-level enforcement is unbypassable; application-level is not.** Janissary is the network route, not a tool agents call. The only application-level touchpoint is the Janissary security MCP (`appeal_request`, `request_access`). +- **Province state ≠ task state.** Provinces are long-lived; `creating / running / stopped / failed / destroying` is infrastructure lifecycle. Task state is a Phase 3 concern and does not live in Vizier or the province registry. +- **Phase 1 runtime is OpenClaw.** The only firman is `openclaw-firman`; the only berat is `openclaw-coding-berat`. Additional runtimes (OpenHands, CrewAI, custom) are Phase 2 firmans, not a Phase 1 concern. +- **OpenBao is the Secret Vault; Aga is its sole client.** Pashas never authenticate to OpenBao — they only see Janissary-injected headers. In Phase 1, the primary credential path is **GitHub App dynamic minting**: Sultan sets up the GitHub App once, Aga mints per-province installation tokens with 1-hour TTL and auto-renews every ~15 min while the province is running. KV fallback exists for services without a dynamic mint path. When editing PRDs, the product name is **OpenBao** and the role name is **Secret Vault**. +- **MVP threat model: the only adversary in scope is a hostile Pasha.** Trusted-core components (Aga, Janissary, Kashif, Divan, OpenBao, host) are assumed uncompromised. Do not propose hardening against trusted-core compromise — signed audit chains, signed-manifest cross-checks between Janissary and Aga, Aga-AppRole rotation on restart, multi-operator Shamir, dual audit sinks with divergence monitoring, etc. — unless the user specifically asks. +- **Target host: Hetzner AX41-NVMe (Ryzen 5 3600, 64 GB RAM, no GPU).** Kashif runs CPU-only (LLM Guard regex + Prompt Guard 2 22M + Llama Guard 3 1B Q4). Aga and Pashas call Claude Sonnet / OpenRouter remotely via Janissary. GPU upgrade is Phase 2. + +## Kashif verdict → Divan auto-transition + +Kashif writes `kashif_verdict` to Divan on each appeal screening: + +- **allow** → Divan auto-transitions appeal to `approved` (one-time). Audit severity `info`. Sultan not notified. Silent path. +- **block** → Divan auto-transitions to `denied`. Audit severity `alert`. **Both Sultan and Aga are notified** (informational) via their own polling — so they can spot Pasha drift (e.g., repeated Kashif blocks mean "consider destroying the province"). +- **escalate** (or Kashif timeout / unavailable) → appeal stays `pending`. Audit severity `alert`. Vizier relays actionable Telegram to Sultan; Aga adds behavioural context. + +Only the Kashif=allow branch is silent. Both block and escalate reach the operator. Do not regress this in PRD edits. + +## Editing conventions + +- PRDs use ATX headings, 80-column-ish wrapping, and tables for structured facts (parameters, permissions, component responsibilities). Match the surrounding style when adding sections. +- When adding a concept used by multiple components, put the canonical definition in `SULTANATE_MVP.md` and reference it from the component PRD — do not duplicate definitions across files. +- Each component PRD has a `Phase 1 Scope` section with `In scope` / `Deferred` subsections. Keep them consistent with `SULTANATE_MVP.md`'s `What's Deferred` list — if they diverge, `SULTANATE_MVP.md` wins and the component PRD needs updating. +- SPEC docs (`JANISSARY_SPEC.md`, `AGA_SPEC.md`, `VIZIER_SPEC.md`, `OPENCLAW_*_SPEC.md`, `DIVAN_API_SPEC.md`) contain implementation detail (schemas, code shapes, Docker commands). Keep them concrete; link back to the matching MVP PRD for scope. +- Integration analyses (like `SENTINELGATE_ANALYSIS.md`) are exploratory, not normative. Conclusions drawn there only become binding once folded into `SULTANATE_MVP.md` or a component PRD. +- File naming: MVP scope docs end in `_MVP_PRD.md`; technical specs end in `_SPEC.md`. Exceptions: `SULTANATE_MVP.md` (umbrella, no PRD suffix), `MOTIVATION.md`, `ARCHITECTURE.md`, `README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, `SENTINELGATE_ANALYSIS.md` (analysis). diff --git a/DIVAN_API_SPEC.md b/DIVAN_API_SPEC.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..f418c4a --- /dev/null +++ b/DIVAN_API_SPEC.md @@ -0,0 +1,967 @@ +# Divan API Specification + +> Technical contract for the shared state store.

Both Sultan and Aga are notified for `block` (informational, so + they can watch for Pasha drift) and `escalate` (actionable, Sultan + decides). Only `allow` stays silent. +6. Janissary reads the decision from Divan on its next poll (default + 5 s) and applies it on retry. + +See `ARCHITECTURE.md` appeal flow for the full timeline. + +### HTTP API + +Janissary provides an HTTP API available to all provinces and Vizier. +MCP tools in provinces call this HTTP API: + +``` +appeal_request( + url: string, + method: string, + payload: string, # full request body, forwarded to Kashif + justification: string +) +``` + +Returns: pending (appeal stored, being screened by Kashif; decision +follows in seconds for allow/block or after Sultan reply for +escalate). + +``` +request_access( + service: string, + scope: string, + justification: string +) +``` + +Routes to Sultan via Vizier for new credentials. Text is also +screened by Kashif (`/screen/ingress`) before reaching Aga's LLM +context. + +Both tools are backed by Janissary's HTTP API. MCP tools in provinces +wrap these endpoints for agent convenience. + +## HTTPS Handling + +Janissary performs full MITM on all HTTPS traffic using the Sultanate +CA certificate (installed in all province containers). mitmproxy +decrypts every TLS connection, applies all 4 traffic rules uniformly +to both HTTP and HTTPS, then re-encrypts to the upstream server. +Credential injection works on HTTPS because the request is fully +visible after decryption. Domains that break under MITM (cert +pinning) can be added to a passthrough list. + +## Divan Integration + +Janissary reads all its state from Divan's HTTP API: + +| Divan Endpoint | Janissary Uses For | +|----------------|-------------------| +| `GET /janissary/state` | Bulk snapshot (provinces, grants, whitelists, blacklist, approved_appeals) on every poll | +| `POST /appeals` | Store new appeals | +| `PATCH /appeals/{id}/kashif_verdict` | (Janissary writes `escalate` only when Kashif times out; normal writes come from Kashif itself) | +| `POST /audit` | Append audit entries | + +Janissary polls Divan every 5 s (configurable) and caches locally.

No province (isolated -container) can reach the internet except through Janissary. - -Janissary does not know what a province is.

Sentinel (the -security advisor) -- a trusted Hermes agent also running as root -- is the -intelligence layer: it manages secrets, contextualizes alerts, and curates -blacklists. All Sentinel inputs are pre-screened by Kashif. - -Janissary, Kashif, and Sentinel are one product, one repo. - -## Product Boundary - -**Janissary provides:** -- Egress proxy -- the only internet exit for all province containers -- Traffic filtering (whitelist, size gate on outbound payloads, blacklist) -- Transparent credential injection at the proxy level -- HTTP/HTTPS with CONNECT tunnel support (WebSocket compatible) -- Audit trail of all traffic decisions - -**Kashif provides:** -- Content inspection -- screens all content for malice before delivery -- Layer 4 appeal triage (approve obvious safe, block obvious bad, escalate - unclear to Sentinel) -- Sentinel ingress screening -- all Pasha (agent inside province) originated - content and fetched - web pages screened before Sentinel ingests them -- Prompt injection and manipulation detection -- Fail-closed behavior -- if down or unsure, block and alert Sultan - (human operator) - -**Sentinel provides:** -- Secret management (creation, rotation, revocation, provisioning) -- Operator-facing alert summaries with context for Sultan -- Blacklist curation -- Access request review (escalations from Kashif) -- Approval context preparation for Sultan -- Audit queries and policy explanations - -**Divan provides (shared state, used by both):** -- Province registry (ID, IP, status, firman -- written by Vizier) -- Grant table (source IP + destination -> credential injection rule) -- Blacklist -- Whitelist per source (province allowlists, Sentinel's own whitelist) -- Audit log -- Web dashboard (read-only for Sultan) - -**Janissary + Sentinel do NOT provide:** -- Container orchestration (Vizier's job) -- Agent runtime or task management (runtime's job) -- Province lifecycle management (Vizier's job) -- Code review or task quality assessment - -## Design Constraints - -- **Janissary is dumb.** It reads tables from Divan and applies rules. No - LLM, no content evaluation, no state management, no agent communication, - no province awareness. -- **Janissary has no outbound access.** Janissary itself never initiates - outbound internet connections. It only forwards province/Sentinel traffic - and communicates with Divan and Secret Vault (both local). This prevents - a compromised Janissary from becoming an open relay. -- **Deterministic enforcement.** Traffic filtering and credential injection - never depend on an LLM call. Whitelists, blacklists, size thresholds, and - grant tables are the enforcement layer. -- **Kashif is paranoid, not smart.** Kashif screens content for malice but - cannot approve access or modify policy. It triages appeals (approve obvious - safe, block obvious bad, escalate unclear). Fail-closed: if Kashif is down - or unsure, block and alert Sultan. High false-positive rate is acceptable; - high false-negative rate is not. -- **LLM is advisory only.** Kashif and Sentinel review appealed traffic. - They can escalate to Sultan but cannot override a block or grant access on - their own without Sultan's approval (unless within auto-approve policy). -- **Network-level enforcement.** Agents cannot bypass Janissary because it is - the network route, not a tool they choose to call. The only application-level - integration is the security MCP tool for appeals. -- **HTTPS only (Phase 1).** Only HTTP/HTTPS traffic (with CONNECT tunnel - support for WebSocket) passes through the proxy. Non-HTTP protocols (SSH, - raw TCP, gRPC) are blocked by the network topology. Support for additional - protocols (database TCP, VPN tunnels) is a future consideration. -- **Sentinel is constrained.** Sentinel's own outbound traffic goes through - Janissary with a strict whitelist-only policy (size gate = 0, no default - pass). Sentinel cannot expand its own whitelist -- only Sultan can. -- **Minimal trust in agents.** Assume any agent could be confused, misled, or - adversarial. Janissary enforces policy regardless of agent intent. -- **Province-scoped grants.** A grant for one source IP does not apply to - another. Revocation is per-province. -- **One-way dependencies.** Janissary reads from Divan, never calls Vizier - (deployment orchestrator) or Sentinel directly. Sentinel reads/writes - Divan, never calls Vizier. Vizier writes to Divan, never calls Janissary. - -## Traffic Layers - -All outbound HTTP/HTTPS requests pass through Janissary. Non-HTTP protocols -are blocked by the Docker network topology (provinces can only reach -Janissary's proxy port). - -Janissary applies different rules depending on the traffic source: - -### Province Traffic - -Evaluated in this order: - -**Layer 1: Whitelist (pass silently)** -Domain is on the source's allowlist in Divan. Traffic goes through, no -inspection. - -**Layer 2: Size Gate (catch code leaks)** -Outbound request payload to a non-whitelisted domain: -- Small outbound payload (< 5KB) -- pass. Normal browsing, small API calls. -- Large outbound payload (>= 5KB) -- blocked. Escalated to Kashif for review. - -Size gate applies to outbound request payloads only. Inbound responses are -not size-gated -- downloading packages, cloning repos, and fetching -documentation proceed regardless of response size. - -The 5KB threshold is configurable per province and is a conservative starting -point. To be tuned after observing real traffic patterns. - -**Layer 3: Blacklist (block known bad)** -Curated by Sentinel in Divan. Known paste sites, exfiltration endpoints, -malicious domains. Blocked immediately. - -**Layer 4: Appeal (agent requests review)** -When an agent's request is blocked (by Layer 2 or 3) and the agent believes -it is legitimate: - -1. Agent calls the security MCP tool: - `appeal_request(url, method, full_payload, justification)` -2. Kashif (content inspector) reviews the full payload (fast, paranoid): - - Obviously safe -- approve - - Obviously bad -- block - - Unclear -- escalate to Sentinel - - Payload too large for Kashif's context window -- escalate to Sentinel -3. Sentinel reviews with broader context, can approve or escalate to Sultan -4. Sultan makes final decision if needed - -**Default:** Non-whitelisted, small payload -- pass. - -### Sentinel Traffic - -Strict whitelist only. No size gate, no default pass. Everything not -whitelisted is blocked. Sentinel has root access and can appeal to Sultan -to expand its whitelist, but cannot modify it itself. - -## Credential Injection - -Agents never hold dangerous secrets. Credentials are injected transparently -by Janissary at the proxy level. - -### How It Works - -Janissary reads the **grant table** from Divan: - -```json -{ - "grant_id": "g-abc-123", - "source_ip": "172.18.0.5", - "match": { - "domain": "api.github.com", - "path_prefix": "/repos/stranma/EFM" - }, - "inject": { - "header": "Authorization", - "value": "Bearer ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxx" - } -} -``` - -When Janissary sees an outbound request: - -1. **Identify source** -- by source IP on the internal Docker network -2. **Match against grant table** -- domain + optional path prefix -3. **Inject** -- add/replace the specified header(s) with the grant's value -4. **No match** -- request passes through without injection (still subject - to traffic layers) - -### Two Classes of Secrets - -- **Dangerous secrets** (repo access, API keys, cloud credentials) -- Sentinel - manages, Janissary injects transparently via grant table. Agent never sees - the raw value. -- **Non-sensitive config** (public endpoints, feature flags, etc.) -- passed - directly to province environment. Out of scope for Janissary/Sentinel. - -Sultan decides which class a secret belongs to. - -### Grant Lifecycle - -```text -1. Province created from firman (container template) - --> Vizier writes province to Divan (ID, IP, status, firman) - --> firman defines default grants -2. Sentinel reads new province from Divan, provisions credentials - --> creates tokens in Secret Vault (Infisical) - --> writes grant rules to Divan's grant table -3. Pasha (agent inside province) works, git/API calls go through Janissary transparently - --> Janissary reads grant table, injects credentials on match -4. Pasha needs new access mid-task - --> Pasha requests via MCP tool or runtime channel to Sentinel -5. Sentinel evaluates: - --> auto-approve if within policy (e.g., read access to firman - default repos, standard package registries) - --> escalate to Sultan if outside policy (e.g., write access, - new API keys, unknown services, any request after a - security incident) -6. Approved --> Sentinel creates credential, writes to grant table -7. Province destroyed --> Vizier updates Divan, Sentinel revokes - all grants for that province -``` - -Sultan can revoke any grant at any time via Sentinel. - -## Security MCP Tool - -Janissary provides an MCP server available in every province. This is the only -application-level integration point -- everything else is network-level. - -**Primary use: Layer 4 appeals.** - -``` -appeal_request( - url: string, - method: string, - payload: string, # full content - justification: string # why the agent needs this -) -``` - -Returns: approved (one-time or added to whitelist) or denied with reason. - -**Secondary use: requesting new access.** - -``` -request_access( - service: string, # e.g. "github", "stripe" - scope: string, # e.g. "stranma/EFM write" - justification: string -) -``` - -Routed to Sentinel for evaluation. - -For non-MCP runtimes, both tools are backed by Janissary's HTTP API as a -fallback. - -## Kashif (Content Inspector) - -Kashif is a paranoid content inspector running a local LLM on the host. It -has one job: "can this be in any way malicious?" - -**Responsibilities:** - -- **Appeal triage** -- reviews Layer 4 appeals. Receives full payload, URL, - method, headers, and justification. Approves obvious safe, blocks obvious - bad, escalates unclear to Sentinel. -- **Sentinel ingress screening** -- all Pasha-originated content (appeal - justifications, access request text, freeform input) is screened by Kashif - before reaching Sentinel's context window. -- **Fetched content inspection** -- when Sentinel fetches web content (after - Sultan approves the whitelist addition), Kashif inspects the fetched content - before Sentinel ingests it. -- **Prompt injection detection** -- flags manipulation attempts, injection - patterns, and unexpected payloads. - -**Behavior:** - -- Paranoid by default -- when in doubt, block and alert Sultan -- Must respond within a configurable timeout (e.g., 5s). If no response, - default to block. -- High false-positive rate is acceptable; high false-negative rate is not. -- Fail-closed: if Kashif is down, all appeals are blocked and all Sentinel - ingress is held until Kashif recovers or Sultan intervenes. - -Kashif is NOT in the hot path for normal traffic. It processes appeals and -screens Sentinel inputs. Whitelisted traffic passes through Janissary without -touching Kashif. - -## Sentinel Agent - -Sentinel is a trusted Hermes agent running as root on the host. It is the -operator-facing intelligence layer. - -**Sentinel is a trusted component.** It runs with elevated privileges and has -real authority over secrets and access grants. Unlike Pashas (agents inside -provinces), Sentinel is not sandboxed -- it is part of the system's trusted -core alongside Vizier and Janissary. Trust is layered: all external and -Pasha-originated content reaching Sentinel is first screened by Kashif for -prompt injection and manipulation attempts. - -**Responsibilities:** -- **Secret management** -- creates tokens, rotates them, provisions grants, - revokes on province destruction. Asks Sultan for approval when needed. -- **Alert contextualization** -- every alert passes through Sentinel before - reaching Sultan. Adds explanation of what happened, why it was blocked, - what the options are. -- **Blacklist curation** -- maintains and updates the blacklist in Divan - based on observed traffic patterns and known bad destinations. -- **Access request review** -- reviews escalations from Kashif with broader - context. Can approve, deny, or escalate to Sultan. -- **Approval context** -- prepares grant/access requests with context so - Sultan can make informed decisions. -- **Audit queries** -- answers Sultan's questions about province activity. - -**Sentinel is not optional.** It ships with Janissary and Kashif in Phase 1. - -**Sentinel's own security:** -- All Sentinel inputs are pre-screened by Kashif for malice -- Sentinel's outbound traffic goes through Janissary with whitelist-only - policy (no size gate pass-through) -- Any web content Sentinel fetches is inspected by Kashif before ingestion -- Sentinel cannot expand its own whitelist -- only Sultan can -- Sentinel can appeal to Sultan to expand its whitelist -- Sultan can modify Sentinel's whitelist directly (root access) - -**Example alerts Sentinel sends to Sultan:** -- "Province (container) A tried to POST 45KB to paste.mozilla.org -- blocked - by size gate. Kashif flagged the payload as a Python module. Approve or - deny?" -- "Province B is requesting write access to stranma/EFM because it needs - to push a dependency update. Firman default is read-only. Approve?" -- "Province C hit the blacklist 3 times in 10 minutes targeting different - paste sites. Possible exfiltration attempt. Kill province?" - -## Divan (Shared State) - -Divan is the shared state store and API for the Sultanate. It is not an -orchestrator -- components report state to it, others read from it. - -**What Divan holds:** -- Province registry (ID, IP, status, firman used) -- Grant table (source IP + destination -> credential injection rule) -- Blacklist (curated by Sentinel) -- Whitelist per source (province allowlists, Sentinel's own whitelist) -- Audit log - -**Who touches Divan:** - -| Component | Reads | Writes | -|-----------|-------|--------| -| Vizier | -- | Province registry (creates/updates status) | -| Sentinel | Province registry, grants, audit | Grants, blacklist, audit | -| Janissary | Grant table, blacklist, whitelists | Audit log | -| Web dashboard | Everything | Nothing (read-only) | - -**Web dashboard:** simple read-only view for Sultan.

For these, domains can be added to a `passthrough_domains` list +in `config.yaml`: + +```yaml +passthrough_domains: + - "example-pinned-service.com" + - "another-pinned.io" +``` + +Passthrough domains skip MITM: mitmproxy tunnels the raw TLS connection +without decryption.

Proxy Configuration + +### WireGuard transparent proxy architecture + +Janissary uses Sandcat's WireGuard transparent proxy approach.

Appeal Mechanics + +### When appeals happen + +A write request (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) to a non-whitelisted domain is +blocked by rule 4. The 403 response body tells the agent how to appeal. + +### Appeal API server + +Janissary runs a **separate FastAPI HTTP server** on port `8081` alongside +mitmproxy (port `8080`). Both run in the same container, started by +`janissary_main.py`. + +The appeal API is **not** an MCP server package. It is a plain HTTP API. +MCP tools in provinces call it via standard HTTP requests. + +### Endpoints + +#### `POST /api/appeal` + +Request an exception for a blocked write request. + +**Request:** +```json +{ + "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/stranma/EFM/pulls", + "method": "POST", + "payload": "", + "justification": "Need to submit the PR review comment for task #42" +} +``` + +Janissary identifies the caller by source IP (from the TCP connection). + +**Processing:** + +1. Extract `source_ip` from the request's TCP connection. +2. Look up `province_id` from the state cache. +3. Write to Divan: `POST /appeals` with `source_ip`, `province_id`, `url`, + `method`, `justification`. Receive `appeal_id`. +4. **Forward to Kashif:** `POST http://127.0.0.1:8082/screen/appeal` with + `{ appeal_id, payload, justification, url, method, province_id }`. + Wait for Kashif's response with `timeout=5s` (configurable). +5. If Kashif responds within timeout: verdict is written to Divan by + Kashif itself via `PATCH /appeals/{appeal_id}/kashif_verdict`. Divan + auto-transitions on `allow` (approved, one-time) or `block` (denied). +6. If Kashif times out or returns 5xx: Janissary writes + `PATCH /appeals/{appeal_id}/kashif_verdict` with + `kashif_verdict="escalate"` and `detail.kashif_timeout=true`. The + appeal stays pending; Vizier relays to Sultan. +7. Return response to the agent. + +**Response (202 — accepted):** + +```json +{ + "status": "pending", + "appeal_id": "appeal-m1n2o3", + "message": "Appeal submitted.

It answers exactly one question: *"Can this content be in +any way malicious?"* Any layer can block; content must pass all three to +be allowed. Accepts high false-positive rate; does not accept false +negatives. + +Kashif ships with Janissary in the `janissary` repo but runs as a separate +container. Janissary is deterministic and dumb; Kashif is the LLM judge. + +## What Kashif Screens + +1. **Appeal payloads (`/screen/appeal`)** -- when Janissary blocks a + write request and the agent appeals, the full request body plus the + agent's justification text are sent to Kashif for triage. Returns + `allow` / `block` / `escalate`. + +2. **Aga ingress (`/screen/ingress`)** -- any Pasha-originated text + headed for Aga's LLM context (access-request justification, freeform + Telegram text from a Pasha, access request reasoning), plus any web + content Aga fetches that is about to enter its context. Returns + `allow` / `block` / `escalate`. Fetched web content is handled via + the same endpoint with `source: "web"`. + +Kashif is **not** on the hot path for normal browsing traffic. It only +processes appeals and trust-boundary ingress. Whitelisted traffic +bypasses Kashif entirely. + +## Three-Layer Pipeline + +Any layer can return a definitive verdict. All three must agree to +`allow`. + +| Layer | Tool | License | Role | Typical latency (CPU) | +|-------|------|---------|------|-----------------------| +| 1.

A coding agent on one +repo, a research agent on another, an assistant handling email. Each needs +internet access, credentials, and a workspace. You want to tell another +agent "spin this up" and have it working in seconds -- not write Docker +configs, network rules, and secret distribution for each one. + +Today, every new agent is a project: + +1. **Set up a container.** Install the runtime, configure networking, mount + the workspace, set up proxy rules. +2. **Distribute secrets.** Create tokens, figure out which agent needs which + credential, inject them safely. Every agent runtime does this differently. +3. **Worry about leaks.** The agent has your GitHub token. A confused LLM + could POST your source code somewhere. You have no visibility or control + over outbound traffic. +4. **Repeat for the next agent.** Different runtime? Start over. Want to try + a new coding agent framework? Redo the whole setup. + +This doesn't scale. You spend more time on infrastructure than on the work +the agents are supposed to do. + +## What We Want + +**Deploy fast.** Tell Vizier "create a coding agent for repo X" via Telegram +and have a working, isolated agent in seconds. No YAML, no manual Docker +setup, no credential wrangling. The deployment agent handles all of it. + +**Stay reasonably safe.** Agents never hold dangerous secrets -- credentials +are injected at the network layer, invisible to the agent. Outbound writes +to non-whitelisted domains are blocked. If an agent needs something, it +asks. Not paranoid, but good enough that a confused agent can't leak your +code or tokens. + +**Add new tech easily.** Want to try a new agent framework? Write a firman +(container template) and a berat (agent profile). The security layer, the +deployment, the credential injection -- all of that stays the same. The +platform doesn't care what runs inside the container as long as it speaks +HTTP through the proxy. + +## How It Works + +Sultanate separates three concerns: + +- **What runs** (firman + berat) -- container template and agent profile. + Swappable. Add a new runtime by writing a new firman. Add a new agent + personality by writing a new berat. +- **How it's deployed** (Vizier) -- an agent that manages other agents. + You talk to it, it creates containers, bootstraps workspaces, starts + runtimes. CLI for scripting, Telegram for conversation. +- **How it's secured** (Janissary + Kashif + Aga) -- a proxy that + controls what goes in and out, a paranoid content inspector that + screens appeals and trusted-agent ingress for malice, and a trusted + security chief that manages secrets. The security layer is + runtime-agnostic: it works the same whether the province runs + OpenClaw (Phase 1), OpenHands (Phase 2), CrewAI (Phase 2), or any + other runtime added later. diff --git a/OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_MVP_PRD.md b/OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_MVP_PRD.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..8033215 --- /dev/null +++ b/OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_MVP_PRD.md @@ -0,0 +1,257 @@ +# PRD: openclaw-coding-berat MVP -- Coding Agent Profile + +> For shared glossary and architecture see [SULTANATE_MVP.md](SULTANATE_MVP.md). +> For the container template see [OPENCLAW_FIRMAN_MVP_PRD.md](OPENCLAW_FIRMAN_MVP_PRD.md). +> For detailed schema and rendering see [OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_SPEC.md](OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_SPEC.md). + +## What openclaw-coding-berat Is + +The default agent profile (berat) for Sultanate.

Security Policy Processing + +When Vizier creates a province, it reads `berat.yaml` security section +and writes to Divan. Aga independently processes grants. + +### Whitelist → Divan + +Vizier writes the berat's default whitelist to Divan at province +creation: + +``` +PUT /whitelists/{province_id} +{ + "domains": [ + "github.com", + "api.github.com", + "pypi.org", + "files.pythonhosted.org", + "registry.npmjs.org", + "cdn.jsdelivr.net", + "docs.python.org", + "stackoverflow.com" + ] +} +``` + +Janissary reads this per-source whitelist and allows all HTTP methods +to these domains. Sultan can later expand or restrict via Aga. + +### Grants → Aga → Divan + +**Vizier does NOT write grants to Divan.** The flow: + +1. Vizier writes the province record to Divan: + + ``` + POST /provinces + { "id": "prov-a1b2c3", ..., "berat": "openclaw-coding-berat", + "repo": "stranma/EFM" } + ``` + +2. Aga polls Divan, sees new province with + `berat: "openclaw-coding-berat"`. + +3. Aga reads + `/opt/sultanate/berats/openclaw-coding-berat/berat.yaml`, extracts + `security.grants`: + + ```yaml + grants: + - name: "github_app" + service: "github" + kind: "dynamic" + domains: [ "api.github.com", "github.com" ] + header: "Authorization" + description: "GitHub App installation token ..." + ``` + +4. For `kind: "dynamic"` + `service: "github"`: Aga reads the GitHub + App private key from OpenBao KV, mints an installation token + scoped to `repo` (the province's repo), receives + `{token, expires_at}`. + +5. Aga writes one Divan grant per domain, all sharing the same + token + lease metadata: + + ``` + POST /grants + { + "province_id": "prov-a1b2c3", + "source_ip": "10.13.13.5", + "match": { "domain": "api.github.com" }, + "inject": { "header": "Authorization", + "value": "Bearer " }, + "openbao_lease_id": null, + "lease_expires_at": "" + } + ``` + +6. Aga's renewal loop refreshes these grants before expiry while the + province is `running` (see `AGA_SPEC.md` §4). + +7. Janissary reads grants from Divan and injects headers at proxy + time, checking `lease_expires_at` before each injection. + +This separation ensures Vizier never handles dangerous secrets. Only +Aga (trusted, root, sole OpenBao client) and Janissary (reads from +Divan grants) see token values. + +### Port Requests → Divan + +Vizier writes each berat port declaration to Divan as a pending +request: + +``` +POST /port_requests +{ + "province_id": "prov-a1b2c3", + "host": "github.com", + "port": 22, + "protocol": "tcp", + "reason": "Git SSH (optional)" +} +``` + +Aga reads pending port requests, relays to Sultan for approval. On +approval, Aga opens the host:port pair via iptables. No auto-approve. + +## 7. Janissary HTTP API Configuration + +Janissary exposes an HTTP API for appeals and access requests. +Provinces connect to it over the WireGuard tunnel. OpenClaw's MCP +servers feature registers this HTTP API as a tool provider. + +### openclaw.json mcp_servers Section + +```json +"mcp_servers": { + "janissary_security": { + "transport": "http", + "url": "{{janissary_api}}/mcp" + } +} +``` + +| Field | Value | Description | +|-------|-------|-------------| +| `transport` | `http` | HTTP-based MCP transport. No stdio, no npx. | +| `url` | `{{janissary_api}}/mcp` | Janissary's MCP endpoint. `{{janissary_api}}` is injected by Vizier (e.g., `http://10.13.13.1:8081`). | + +### Why HTTP, Not stdio + +OpenClaw supports both stdio MCP (subprocess + stdin/stdout) and HTTP +MCP. We use HTTP because: + +1. Janissary is already an HTTP server on the internal network. +2. No subprocess spawn per tool call. +3. Janissary authenticates the MCP caller by source IP (same as proxy + traffic). + +### MCP Tools Provided + +Two tools are available via the HTTP API (see +[JANISSARY_MVP_PRD.md](JANISSARY_MVP_PRD.md) and +[JANISSARY_SPEC.md](JANISSARY_SPEC.md)): + +**`appeal_request`** -- appeal a blocked outbound request: + +``` +appeal_request(url: string, method: string, + payload: string, justification: string) +-> { status: "pending", appeal_id: "appeal-..." } +``` + +Janissary writes the appeal to Divan and forwards payload + justification +to Kashif for triage. Verdict is eventually written to Divan by Kashif +(auto-allow/auto-block) or by Sultan via Vizier (escalate). + +**`request_access`** -- request new credentials or port access: + +``` +request_access(service: string, scope: string, justification: string) +-> { status: "pending" } +``` + +Text is Kashif-screened before reaching Aga's LLM context. Routed to +Sultan via Vizier. Sultan tells Aga to provision. + +### Janissary API Injection + +Vizier sets `{{janissary_api}}` during template rendering. The value is +Janissary's address on the WireGuard tunnel +(`http://10.13.13.1:8081`). The `/mcp` path on this port serves the +MCP tools. + +## 8.

Vizier provides the +networking and volume configuration that integrates the container into +the Sultanate network. Provinces access the internet via WireGuard +transparent proxy (all traffic automatically routed through Janissary). + +## 4. CA Certificate Installation + +Provinces route all HTTPS through Janissary, which performs TLS MITM for +credential injection. Containers must trust the Sultanate CA. + +### What Vizier Does + +``` +1. docker cp /opt/sultanate/certs/sultanate-ca.pem \ + sultanate-prov-:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/sultanate-ca.crt + +2. docker exec sultanate-prov- update-ca-certificates + (also listed in firman bootstrap, idempotent) + +3. NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS env var already set at docker create (§3 step 3) +``` + +### Why Three Steps + +| Step | Covers | +|------|--------| +| `docker cp` + `update-ca-certificates` | System-wide trust: Python `requests`, `curl`, `git`, `apt`, and all programs using the OS trust store. | +| `NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS` env var | Node.js processes (including OpenClaw's own Node.js runtime) which use their own bundled CA store and ignore the OS store unless this env var is set. | + +The CA cert file lives on the host at +`/opt/sultanate/certs/sultanate-ca.pem`. It is generated once during +Sultanate deployment and shared across all provinces. The private key +(`sultanate-ca.key`) is only readable by Janissary's process -- never +copied into containers. + +### Timing + +CA cert installation happens after `docker create` but before the first +bootstrap command that reaches the network (e.g., `git clone`). Vizier's +sequence (§3 step 4) handles this placement. + +## 5. Upstream OpenClaw Image + +openclaw-firman uses `openclaw/openclaw:v2026.4.15` without modification. +Understanding what the image provides is essential for correct firman +and berat design. + +### What the Image Provides + +| Component | Detail | +|-----------|--------| +| **Base OS** | Debian (slim variant) | +| **Node.js** | 22+ (OpenClaw runtime) | +| **Python** | System Python 3.x | +| **Tools** | git, curl, ripgrep | +| **User** | Non-root (gosu-based privilege drop in entrypoint) | +| **Entrypoint** | `/opt/openclaw/docker/entrypoint.sh` (or equivalent per upstream) -- starts as root, creates default directories under `$OPENCLAW_HOME`, drops to non-root user. | +| **OPENCLAW_HOME** | `/opt/data` by default (Docker VOLUME). Config lives at `$OPENCLAW_HOME/.openclaw/openclaw.json`. | +| **Gateway mode** | `openclaw gateway --port 18789` starts the long-running daemon that services configured channels (Telegram, Slack, etc.) and exposes the HTTP API on port 18789. | +| **Auto-loaded workspace files** | At first session turn, OpenClaw loads `SOUL.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `IDENTITY.md`, `USER.md`, `TOOLS.md`, and `BOOTSTRAP.md` from the workspace root (as specified by `agents.defaults.workspace` in `openclaw.json`). | +| **Multi-provider models** | Configured via `agent.model` as `"provider/model-id"` (e.g. `"anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"`). API keys read from environment or embedded config. | +| **MCP support** | `mcp_servers` section in openclaw.json registers external MCP servers; OpenClaw invokes their tools alongside built-ins. | + +### Volume Mount at /opt/data + +The image declares `/opt/data` as a VOLUME. Vizier creates a host +directory per province +(`/opt/sultanate/provinces//data`) and bind-mounts it here. This +directory persists across container restarts and is accessible from the +host for backup and inspection. + +Contents after entrypoint + berat application: + +``` +/opt/data/ +├── .openclaw/ +│ └── openclaw.json (agent config, written by Vizier from berat) +├── workspace/ +│ ├── SOUL.md (agent persona, written by Vizier from berat) +│ ├── AGENTS.md (operating instructions, written by Vizier) +│ ├── IDENTITY.md (agent identity, optional, from berat) +│ └── (cloned by bootstrap step) +├── agents/ (OpenClaw session transcripts, per-session) +│ └── /sessions/.jsonl +├── skills/ (shared skills directory; empty in MVP) +└── logs/ (OpenClaw process logs) +``` + +### Entrypoint Behavior + +The entrypoint: + +1. Runs as root +2. Creates default directories under `$OPENCLAW_HOME` if they don't exist +3. Ensures permissions on the `/opt/data` bind-mount are right for the + non-root user +4. Drops privileges to the `openclaw` (or similar) non-root user via + `gosu` +5. Executes the CMD or (more commonly) exits, leaving the container + running in an idle state until Vizier issues `docker exec -d openclaw + gateway --port 18789` + +**Critical ordering**: Berat files (SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, openclaw.json) +must be written _after_ the entrypoint runs and _before_ `openclaw +gateway` starts. Vizier's sequence handles this: berat application +(step 7) happens after container start (step 5), and openclaw gateway +is started last (step 8). + +### How openclaw-firman Leverages This + +| Upstream Feature | openclaw-firman Usage | +|-----------------|-----------------------| +| `/opt/data` volume | Vizier bind-mounts a per-province host directory here. All state persists and is accessible from the host. | +| Entrypoint creates defaults | Vizier lets the entrypoint run first, then overwrites with berat files. | +| Non-root user + gosu | Bootstrap and berat commands run via `docker exec` (as root by default). Files written to `/opt/data/.openclaw` and `/opt/data/workspace` must be chowned to the non-root user so OpenClaw can read them. Vizier wraps each write with a `chown` in the same exec. | +| `openclaw gateway` | Used as the startup command. OpenClaw reads `openclaw.json` from `$OPENCLAW_HOME/.openclaw/`, SOUL.md / AGENTS.md / IDENTITY.md from the configured workspace. | +| MCP registry | Used by the berat to register the Janissary security MCP server for appeal/access-request tools. | +| Channels config | Telegram channel configured via `channels.telegram.botToken` in openclaw.json; Vizier provisions a bot token per province. | +| Sandbox mode | Set to `off` in the MVP berat; Sultanate's outer container (WireGuard + kill-switch) is the isolation boundary. Nested OpenClaw sandbox (Docker-in-Docker) is a Phase 2 option. | + +## 6. Image Versioning + +openclaw-firman pins `openclaw/openclaw:v2026.4.15`. This tag is stored +in `firman.yaml` and used by Vizier for all province creations. + +- **Upgrades**: Update the `image` field in firman.yaml and pin by + digest (SHA256). Existing provinces continue on the old image. New + provinces use the new image. +- **Override**: Sultan can pass `--image ` to Vizier to override + the firman's pinned tag for a specific province (not in MVP, but the + schema supports it). +- **No `latest`**: Always pin a specific tag for reproducibility. +- **Renovate / dependabot**: A deploy-side automation opens a PR when + a new `openclaw/openclaw` tag appears; operator reviews and updates + the firman manually. diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index eb03947..4fba2d1 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -5,43 +5,122 @@ staff with frictionless deployment and enterprise-grade security. ## Status: Design Phase -This repo currently contains **PRDs only** -- no implementation yet.

Compromise of one Pasha's token (e.g., a +rogue Pasha exfiltrates its own token, or a token leaks from the pool's +storage): + +- lets an attacker chat *as that Pasha to Sultan* and read whatever + context Sultan typed in that thread +- **cannot reach** any other Pasha's bot, Vizier's bot, or Aga's bot +- **cannot read or write secrets** (those live in OpenBao, behind + Aga; the Pasha never had them in the first place) +- **cannot bypass Janissary** -- still subject to the same WireGuard + + iptables kill-switch and traffic rules +- **cannot mint, rotate, or read GitHub App tokens** (Aga's job, Aga's + OpenBao AppRole) + +Blast radius is bounded to that single province's chat thread. Sultan +notices the impersonation by the Pasha behaving oddly; the response is +to destroy the province via Vizier (which returns the bot to the pool +for re-issue with a fresh token, after Sultan revokes the old one in +BotFather). + +## Trust Model + +| Trust Level | Component | Access | +|-------------|-----------|--------| +| **Trusted** | Aga (root) | Full host access. Sole OpenBao client. Manages secrets. All LLM-context ingress pre-screened by Kashif. | +| **Trusted** | Janissary (root) | Network enforcement. Reads Divan, applies deterministic rules. No LLM, no outbound of its own. | +| **Trusted** | Kashif (runs alongside Janissary) | Local LLM only. Screens appeal payloads and Aga ingress. No secrets, no outbound. | +| **Trusted** | OpenBao (local, 127.0.0.1) | Holds dangerous secrets. Only Aga can authenticate. | +| **Semi-trusted** | Vizier (vizier user, Docker group) | Creates/manages containers, execs into provinces. Cannot read grant files (filesystem permissions). | +| **Untrusted** | Province / Pasha | Sandboxed container. No direct internet. All HTTP through Janissary. Never holds dangerous secrets. | + +Aga is trusted and instructed, not constrained. It has root but follows +policy -- same as a sysadmin. + +## Credential Model + +**Dangerous secrets** (GitHub tokens, API keys) -- Aga creates them, +stores them in OpenBao, and writes a grant record to Divan. Janissary +reads grants from Divan and injects into request headers at the proxy +level. Containers never see these values. + +**Sultan does not paste tokens.** Sultan's role is one-time setup: +install a GitHub App on the repos Sultanate should manage, and hand +the App private key to Aga. From then on, Aga mints short-lived +installation tokens per-province on demand. (For services without +automation, Sultan can still paste tokens in Telegram -- see KV +fallback below -- but GitHub is fully automated.) + +### Grant modes + +- **Dynamic mode (Phase 1 default, GitHub App):** + Aga holds the GitHub App private key in OpenBao KV. When a province + is created (or needs rotation), Aga mints a GitHub App installation + access token scoped to the province's repo, with GitHub's + hard-capped TTL of 1 hour. Aga writes the grant to Divan with + `openbao_lease_id: null` (the field is reserved for grants backed by + real OpenBao lease-issuing secret engines -- DB creds, SSH CA, PKI, + future plugins -- and GitHub App tokens are minted by Aga directly + via the GitHub API, not by an OpenBao engine) and the + `lease_expires_at` returned by GitHub. A background renewal loop in + Aga refreshes every ~15 min while the province is running, stops + refreshing on destroy, and GitHub kills the token within 1 hour + naturally. Janissary checks expiry before injecting and fails + closed on expired (audit entry, `severity=alert`). + +- **KV fallback (edge cases):** + For services that do not have a dynamic mint path and where Sultan + manually pastes a token in Telegram (e.g., a third-party API Aga + cannot automate against), Aga stores the token in OpenBao KV. The + grant's `openbao_lease_id` and `lease_expires_at` are `null`; + Janissary injects unconditionally; the token lives until Sultan + tells Aga to revoke. This is a fallback, not the default. + +Phase 2 may add a dedicated OpenBao secret engine plugin for GitHub +Apps (community `vault-plugin-secrets-github` may work directly); +for MVP the minting logic lives in Aga itself, keyed off the App +private key held in OpenBao KV. + +**Low-risk config** (Telegram bot tokens, public endpoints) -- Vizier +writes directly into containers. A leaked Pasha bot token has a +per-province blast radius (see Communication Channels above). A +leaked Vizier or Aga bot token lets an attacker impersonate Sultan +to that one agent, but they still cannot bypass Kashif on Aga +ingress, cannot bypass Janissary, and cannot read OpenBao secrets. + +## CA Certificate Lifecycle + +A Sultanate-wide CA certificate is generated once at deploy time. The CA +cert is installed in all province containers so mitmproxy can decrypt and +inspect HTTPS traffic. The CA private key is only accessible to the +Janissary container. + +## Divan (Shared State) + +Minimal shared state store: SQLite + FastAPI + a read-only Jinja2/HTMX +dashboard. Canonical contract for all components. + +| Endpoint | Writer | Reader | Data | +|----------|--------|--------|------| +| `/provinces` | Vizier | Janissary, Aga, dashboard | ID, IP, name, status, firman, berat | +| `/grants` | Aga | Janissary, dashboard | Source IP + domain -> header injection, `openbao_lease_id`, `lease_expires_at` | +| `/whitelists` | Vizier (berat defaults), Aga (Sultan's changes) | Janissary, dashboard | Per-source allowed domains | +| `/blacklist` | Aga (on Sultan's instruction) | Janissary, dashboard | Global blocked domains | +| `/appeals` | Janissary | Kashif, Aga, Vizier, dashboard | Pending/resolved appeal records with Kashif verdict | +| `/port_requests` | Vizier (berat), Aga (decisions) | Aga, dashboard | Non-HTTP port access requests | +| `/audit` | Janissary, Aga, Kashif | dashboard | Decision log (requests, credential injections, screenings) | + +**Access control:** Divan authenticates callers via pre-shared API keys (one +per component, generated at deploy time). Each key maps to a role with +endpoint-level read/write permissions. Grant secret values are only returned +to the Janissary role. See `DIVAN_API_SPEC.md` for details. + +**Dashboard:** server-rendered (Jinja2 + HTMX) inside the same FastAPI +process. Eight pages: realm, province detail, province secrets, whitelist, +appeals, audit, blacklist, health. HTTP basic auth + bound to the host's +Tailscale interface on port 8601 (Sultan accesses from phone/laptop on +the tailnet); `127.0.0.1` + SSH-tunnel fallback for non-Tailscale +environments. See `DIVAN_MVP_PRD.md`. + +Divan ships with Janissary in the same repo. It starts before all other +components except OpenBao. + +## Artifact Formats + +**Firman** (container template) -- a directory containing a `firman.yaml` +manifest and optional supporting files. Stored at a convention path on the +host (`/opt/sultanate/firmans//`). Vizier resolves `--firman ` +by looking up this path. See `OPENCLAW_FIRMAN_MVP_PRD.md`. + +**Berat** (agent profile) -- a directory containing a `berat.yaml` manifest +and template files (`SOUL.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `openclaw.json`). Stored at +`/opt/sultanate/berats//`. Vizier resolves `--berat ` by +looking up this path. Templates use `{{variable}}` syntax with simple string +substitution. See `OPENCLAW_CODING_BERAT_MVP_PRD.md`. + +## GitHub Token Strategy + +**Sultan's one-time setup (outside Sultanate):** + +1. Create a Sultanate GitHub App in Sultan's GitHub account/org. +2. Configure the App with minimal repo permissions (`contents:write`, + `pull_requests:write`, `metadata:read`; add more per-repo as + needed later via the App settings UI). +3. Install the App on the repos Sultanate should manage. New repos + get added to the installation later by Sultan in the GitHub UI; + no Sultanate-side action required at install time. +4. Download the App private key (PEM) once; hand it to Aga by + dropping the file into `/opt/sultanate/bootstrap/github-app.pem` + during first boot (deploy-script prompts for it), OR send it + via Telegram once for Aga to persist into OpenBao KV. + +**Per-province provisioning (automatic, Aga-driven):** + +1. Vizier creates province `prov-a1b2c3` for repo `stranma/EFM`. + Vizier writes province record to Divan. +2. Aga sees the new province. Reads the GitHub App private key from + OpenBao KV (`kv/github-app/private-key`). +3. Aga generates a JWT signed with the App private key, calls + `POST /app/installations/{installation_id}/access_tokens` scoped + to `stranma/EFM`. GitHub returns a token with 1-hour TTL. +4. Aga writes grant to Divan: + ```json + { + "province_id": "prov-a1b2c3", + "source_ip": "10.13.13.5", + "match": { "domain": "api.github.com" }, + "inject": { "header": "Authorization", "value": "" }, + "openbao_lease_id": null, + "lease_expires_at": "" + } + ``` +5. Aga's renewal loop (runs every ~15 min) refreshes any grant + where `lease_expires_at < now + 20 min`, updating `inject.value` + and `lease_expires_at` in place via `PATCH /grants/{id}`. Stops + refreshing when the province status becomes `stopped` or + `destroying`. + +**Sultan's day-to-day interaction with GitHub credentials:** none. +Aga handles minting, renewal, and revocation silently. Sultan sees +grant entries on the dashboard but never pastes or handles tokens. + +**Non-GitHub services** (if a Pasha needs cloud API credentials, +third-party service tokens) fall back to KV mode: Sultan provides the +token once via Telegram, Aga stores it in OpenBao KV, grant has no +lease, lives until Sultan says to revoke. Phase 2 expands dynamic +minting to more services as appropriate. + +## Runtime + +All in-province agents (Pashas) use the upstream `openclaw/openclaw` Docker +image. No custom Dockerfile. Each agent is differentiated by its +configuration (`SOUL.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`, MCP +servers, env vars) applied at startup. Vizier and Aga also run as OpenClaw +agents, but outside of provinces (trusted host deployment). + +See `OPENCLAW_FIRMAN_MVP_PRD.md`. + +## Startup Order + +OpenBao must start first (and unseal) -- Aga depends on it for credentials +to authenticate to everything else. Then Divan. Then Kashif (must be +healthy before Janissary, since Janissary forwards appeals to Kashif and +would fail-closed on its first appeal otherwise). Then Janissary. Then +Aga. Then Vizier. If any earlier component is down, later ones fail +closed. + +``` +1. OpenBao (Secret Vault; Sultan manually unseals) +2. Divan (shared state + dashboard) +3. Kashif (content inspector, loads three-layer models; ~10-30s cold boot) +4. Janissary (proxy, reads from Divan; forwards appeals to Kashif) +5. Aga (secrets, writes to Divan, direct networking; authenticates to + OpenBao via AppRole) +6. Vizier (management, writes to Divan, through Janissary) +7. Provinces (on demand, through Janissary) +``` + +If Janissary is down, Vizier cannot reach Telegram -- Sultan loses the +management channel. This is fail-closed by design. Sultan has SSH to the +host as fallback (the dashboard remains reachable via Tailscale even +when Janissary is down, since Divan and the dashboard share a process +that does not route through Janissary). + +## Network Model + +- Provinces on internal Docker network (`internal: true`, no external + route) +- All province HTTP/HTTPS goes through Janissary (WireGuard transparent + proxy) +- Non-HTTP access: blocked by default. Berat declares needed ports, + Vizier writes them to Divan as requests, Aga asks Sultan for approval, + then opens specific host:port pairs (iptables/Docker rules) and + provisions service tokens. No auto-approve. +- Vizier's traffic goes through Janissary (same rules as provinces) +- Vizier has the Janissary security MCP tool -- can appeal blocks or ask + Sultan to tell Aga to add permanent whitelist exceptions +- Aga has direct host networking (needs Telegram + local OpenBao only) +- OpenBao listener bound to `127.0.0.1`; Aga reaches it on localhost +- Kashif has no external networking; only receives HTTP posts from + Janissary and Aga + +## Traffic Rules (Janissary) + +1. **Blacklist** -- domain on global blacklist? Block all traffic. + Overrides whitelist. +2. **Whitelist** -- domain on province's allowlist? Pass all traffic. +3. **Non-whitelist read** -- GET/HEAD to unknown domain? Pass (browsing, + docs). +4. **Non-whitelist write** -- POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE to unknown domain? + Block. +5. **Appeal** -- agent appeals a block with justification. Janissary + forwards the payload + justification to Kashif `/screen/appeal`. + Kashif returns `allow` (obvious safe), `block` (obvious bad), or + `escalate` (unclear). On escalation the appeal flows to Aga and + Sultan as before. Kashif fail-closed: timeout or down -> the appeal + is held for manual review, never auto-approved. + +## Appeal Flow + +See `ARCHITECTURE.md` for the full timeline-style walkthrough. Summary: + +1. Agent's write request to non-whitelisted domain -> blocked by + Janissary. +2. Agent calls `appeal_request(url, method, justification)` via MCP + tool. +3. Janissary writes the appeal to Divan and forwards payload + + justification to Kashif `/screen/appeal`. +4. Kashif returns allow / block / escalate within ~2 s. Three branches: + + - **Kashif=allow** -> Divan auto-transitions appeal to approved; + Janissary lets the retry through on next poll. **No Sultan + notification** (obvious safe; audit entry only). + - **Kashif=block** -> Divan auto-transitions to denied; retry still + fails. **Both Sultan and Aga are notified** via an informational + Telegram message. The decision is final, but the notification + exists so the operator can spot drifting behaviour (3 blocks in + 10 min -> consider destroying the province). + - **Kashif=escalate** (or Kashif unavailable) -> appeal stays + pending; **both Sultan and Aga are notified** via actionable + Telegram. Sultan decides approve/deny/whitelist/kill-province; + Aga may add context from its own audit-history view. + +5. Vizier is the Sultan-facing relay: it polls Divan audit and pending + appeals and sends the Telegram messages. Aga polls the same records + independently and contributes its own analysis to the Sultan chat. +6. All Kashif verdicts (including auto-approved) are written to + `/audit`. Sultan can scan the dashboard's audit page at any time. + +## Components + +| Component | Repo | Description | +|-----------|------|-------------| +| **Vizier** | `vizier` | CLI + OpenClaw agent.

Vizier uses OpenClaw's `bash` tool to run `vizier-cli` commands. +Also polls Divan for pending appeals (escalated by Kashif) and relays +them to Sultan. + +The CLI is the first deliverable.

Always allowed (whitelisted in + Vizier's Divan whitelist). +2. **Documentation lookups** -- when Sultan asks Vizier to set up a + province for a new repo or framework, Vizier may need to read docs + sites, package registries, or Q&A sites to plan a sensible + firman/berat parameterisation. + +Vizier's whitelist key in Divan is `"vizier"` (parallel to province +IDs as keys). It ships with these defaults: + +| Domain | Reason | +|--------|--------| +| `api.telegram.org` | Telegram polling | +| `docs.python.org` | Python documentation | +| `docs.openclaw.ai` | OpenClaw runtime documentation | +| `github.com`, `api.github.com` | Repo discovery, README lookup | +| `pypi.org`, `files.pythonhosted.org` | Python package metadata | +| `registry.npmjs.org` | Node package metadata | +| `cdn.jsdelivr.net` | Common CDN for npm | +| `docs.docker.com` | Docker reference | +| `stackoverflow.com` | Developer Q&A | + +These cover Vizier's day-to-day reads. Janissary's read-only +passthrough rule (Rule 3 -- non-whitelist GET/HEAD = pass) covers +unlisted documentation sites without an explicit whitelist entry, so +Vizier can browse generally even when a domain isn't listed. + +Sultan can extend Vizier's whitelist via Aga (e.g., add a new search +engine or vendor docs site) with the same Telegram instruction flow +used for province whitelist edits. + +Vizier never needs **write** access (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) to +non-whitelisted domains. If a write is genuinely needed, Vizier appeals +the same way a Pasha would -- through the Janissary security MCP. + +## CLI + +``` +vizier-cli create --berat --repo [--name ] +vizier-cli list +vizier-cli status +vizier-cli stop +vizier-cli start +vizier-cli destroy +vizier-cli logs +``` + +All commands write state changes to Divan. + +## Province Lifecycle + +States: `creating` -> `running` -> `stopped` -> `destroying` + +Failed startup: `creating` -> `failed` + +Vizier writes every state change to Divan.

Vizier interprets, picks firman and berat, runs: + vizier-cli create openclaw-firman \ + --berat openclaw-coding-berat \ + --repo stranma/EFM +3. Vizier creates wg-client sidecar + province container pair from + openclaw-firman image: + -> internal Docker network only (no external route) + -> all traffic routed through Janissary via WireGuard +4. Vizier writes to Divan: province ID, IP (WireGuard peer IP), + status=creating, firman, berat, repo +5. Vizier writes berat's non-HTTP port declarations to Divan as + port_requests +6. Aga sees new province in Divan: + -> mints GitHub App installation token scoped to the repo + (dynamic mode); writes grant to Divan with OpenBao lease ID + and GitHub-returned expires_at + -> or, for services without dynamic engines, asks Sultan for + token via Telegram; stores in OpenBao KV; writes grant + with null lease fields + -> asks Sultan to approve any pending port_requests + -> on approval, opens host:port pairs via iptables and provisions + service tokens +7.

Vizier applies berat inside the container: + -> writes SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, IDENTITY.md to workspace root + -> writes ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json +9. Vizier starts OpenClaw gateway inside the container: + -> openclaw gateway --port 18789 in the background +10. Vizier updates Divan: status=running +11. Sultan can now talk to the Pasha via Telegram (the Pasha has its + own OpenClaw bot, configured by the berat) +``` + +## Appeal Relay + +Vizier polls Divan for appeals requiring Sultan's decision and relays +them. Kashif auto-decides many appeals (see +[ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) appeal flow); Vizier only forwards +those with `kashif_verdict = escalate` (or `null` after Kashif +timeout), plus informational notices for `kashif_verdict = block`. + +1. Vizier polls `GET /appeals?status=pending&kashif_verdict=escalate` + (actionable) and + `GET /audit?severity=alert&component=kashif&since=` + (informational -- auto-decided blocks Sultan should know about). +2. For each actionable appeal, sends Sultan a Telegram message: + + > Province X wants to POST to example.com -- reason: + > [justification]. Kashif: escalate (notes: ...). Approve once / + > approve forever / deny / kill province? + +3. For informational Kashif blocks, sends Sultan: + + > Prov X's appeal to example.com was auto-BLOCKED by Kashif. + > Kashif notes: ...

It creates -provinces (isolated containers) from firmans (container templates), launches -agents, manages the realm (fleet of all provinces), and writes province state -to Divan (shared state store). It has a CLI for direct management and -communicates with Sultan (human operator) via whatever channel the agent -runtime provides. - -Vizier is reactive -- it acts on Sultan's commands and agent events.
