Summary

Rebased version of security hardening for issue #10. Builds on the simplified YOLO disable from PR #30 and adds deeper security controls.

Security Changes

  • runner.ts: Merged concurrency limiter (MAX_CONCURRENT = 10) + sanitizeEnv (strips API_KEY, SECRET, TOKEN, MNEMONIC, etc.) + sandbox cwd support + removed detached: true
  • run.ts: YOLO mode requires admin privileges, non-admin users blocked and admin notified
  • runner.ts: ensureSandboxDir() creates restricted working directory
  • runner.ts: buildFilteredEnv() allows explicit env whitelist from config
  • concurrency.ts: New file — ConcurrencyLimiter singleton

What's new vs PR #30 (already merged)

PR #30 simply disabled YOLO mode. This PR adds:

  • Sandbox directory enforcement
  • Environment variable filtering (whitelist + sanitizer)
  • Concurrency limiting (max 10 parallel processes)
  • Admin gating for YOLO mode (instead of full disable)
  • security options parameter in runCommand()

Conflict Resolution

Resolved 3 merge conflicts by merging both approaches — PR #30's sanitizeEnv + PR #29's RunSecurityOptions sandbox/env whitelist.

Issue: #10
- Add security controls schema (yolo_confirmation, sandbox_dir, env_whitelist,
  max_concurrent) to capablities.exec configuration
- Add "ton" to tsup externals to resolve build issues
…ltering, admin-only yolo

Applies 8 remediation items from issue #10:
- Admin confirmation required for yolo mode (run.ts)
- Allowlist validation enforcement (run.ts)
- Privilege dropping via cwd sandbox + env whitelist (runner.ts, run.ts, install.ts, service.ts, status.ts)
- Removed detached: true from spawn (runner.ts)
- MAX_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES concurrency limiter (concurrency.ts)
- Environment variable whitelist filtering for all exec tools
- Sandbox directory creation for restricted working directory
- Pre-execution audit logging with proper status tracking

Files changed:
- New: concurrency.ts — concurrency Limiter singleton
- runner.ts: security opts (cwd/env), removed detached: true, ensureSandboxDir
- run.ts: admin-only yolo mode, env whitelist, sandbox, admin notification
- install.ts: concurrency, sandbox, env filtering, security opts
- service.ts: same security controls as install.ts
- status.ts: same security controls with try/finally for re-entry
- types.ts: added RunSecurityOptions interface
- configurable-keys.ts: added 4 exec security config entries
- tools.test.ts: updated for new security model
- Remove unused `Config` import and unused `acquired` variable in exec tool files (install.ts, service.ts, status.ts)
- Update vitest and @vitest/coverage-v8 to ^4.1.8 to fix critical CVE GHSA-5xrq-8626-4rwp
- Exclude src/webui from tsconfig.json (webui is built by Vite, not tsc)
- run.ts: Remove unreachable YOLO admin-gating block (mode "yolo" already
  handled by early return on line 55; TypeScript correctly narrows type
  to "allowlist | "off" after that check)
- run.ts: Remove unused isUserAdmin/notifyAdmin functions and Config/ToolContext imports
- onboard.ts: Add missing security field to both exec config objects
  (lines ~1016 and ~1212) — required by updated ExecObject schema
