# Plan: Mother MCP Link — Vaultwarden Pubkey Exchange
**Direction:** B — we (ISO agent) call mother via SSH. Pubkeys exchanged
through Vaultwarden, no operator copy-paste.
**Scope:** OSA acts as mother until dedicated machine exists. Shell scripts
first, colibri-vault crate later when the contract is solid.

## Files
### Our side (clawdie-iso)
| File | Change | What |
| ------------------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `clawdie-enable-mother.sh` | Extend | Add keygen + vault publish BEFORE the external-mcp.json update |
| `clawdie-vault-fetch` (colibri) | Extend | Add `--publish-pubkey` mode: create/update item in hive-pubkeys |
### Mother side (OSA, new)
| File | What |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `mother-sync-hive-keys.sh` | Pull all pubkeys from vault → rebuild authorized_keys.hive |
| `/etc/cron.d/mother-hive-keys` | `@every 5m` cron entry |
| sshd_config change | Add `AuthorizedKeysFile ... /var/db/colibri/.ssh/authorized_keys.hive` |
---
## Step-by-step
### A. Key generation (our side)
```
clawdie-enable-mother.sh, new step [1/3]:
if [ ! -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 ]; then
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -N "" -C "colibri@$(hostname)" -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
fi
PUBKEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub)
```
### B. Publish to Vaultwarden (our side)
```
clawdie-enable-mother.sh, new step [2/3]:
clawdie-vault-fetch --publish-pubkey "$PUBKEY" --collection hive-pubkeys
What this does:
- bw login (using BW_* from provider.env)
- bw get collection hive-pubkeys (create if absent)
- bw get item "$(hostname)" --collectionid <id>
→ if exists: bw edit item <id> notes="$PUBKEY"
→ if not: bw create item --name "$(hostname)" --notes "$PUBKEY" --collectionid <id>
```
### C. Update external-mcp.json (our side)
```
clawdie-enable-mother.sh, step [3/3] (existing, with new identity file):
jq --arg key "$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519" \
'.servers.mother = {
"command": "ssh",
"args": ["-i", $key, "-o", "StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new",
"colibri@${MOTHER_TS_IP}", "colibri-mcp"],
"env": {}
}' "$EXTERNAL_MCP" > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" "$EXTERNAL_MCP"
```
### D. Mother sync (cron)
```
mother-sync-hive-keys.sh:
1. bw login (BW_* from provider.env)
2. COLLECTION_ID=$(bw get collection hive-pubkeys --id)
3. bw list items --collectionid $COLLECTION_ID
4. For each item:
- HOSTNAME=$(bw get item $id | jq -r '.name')
- PUBKEY=$(bw get item $id | jq -r '.notes')
- echo "command=\"colibri-mcp\",restrict,no-pty,no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding $PUBKEY colibri@$HOSTNAME"
5. Write all to /var/db/colibri/.ssh/authorized_keys.hive (atomic: mktemp + mv)
6. chmod 600
Cron: @every 5m root /usr/local/sbin/mother-sync-hive-keys.sh
```
### E. sshd configuration (mother, one-time)
```
# /etc/ssh/sshd_config addition:
AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys /var/db/colibri/.ssh/authorized_keys.hive
# Reload:
service sshd reload
```
---
## Security properties
| Property | How |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Rebuild, not append | Each sync regenerates the file — deleting a vault item = revocation |
| Restriction applied by mother | `command="colibri-mcp",restrict` — not baked by publisher |
| Dedicated key file | `authorized_keys.hive` separate from operator keys |
| No shell access | `restrict` blocks everything except the forced command |
| Atomic write | `mktemp` + `mv` — no partial reads |
| TOFU on first connect | `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` — auto-trust on first connection |
---
## Acceptance
- [ ] Click "Enable Mother" → keypair created if absent
- [ ] Pubkey published to Vaultwarden (verify: `bw get item <hostname>`)
- [ ] external-mcp.json updated with SSH + identity file
- [ ] Mother cron syncs within 5 minutes
- [ ] `authorized_keys.hive` contains the restricted entry
- [ ] Pi can call mother's tools via `ssh -i key colibri@<ts-ip> colibri-mcp`
- [ ] Delete vault item → next sync removes access (revocation tested)
---
## Sequencing
| Step | Repo | Content |
| ---- | ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1 | colibri | Extend `clawdie-vault-fetch` with `--publish-pubkey` |
| 2 | clawdie-iso | Extend `clawdie-enable-mother.sh` — keygen + publish |
| 3 | — | Create `mother-sync-hive-keys.sh` on OSA |
| 4 | — | Wire cron + sshd_config on OSA |
| 5 | — | End-to-end test: ISO → vault → OSA → SSH → colibri-mcp |

# Priority Handoff — Three Focus Items Toward ISO Gate 1
**Created:** 14.jun.2026 (Sam & Hermes) · **Updated:** 19.jun.2026
**Status:** Priorities 2 & 3 **done** · Priority 1 **staged for FreeBSD build**
**Superseded by:** `MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN.md` for the next sprint
Round 2 audit is fully closed. All repos are green (211 tests, clippy clean,
fmt clean). The three items below were the highest-leverage work toward getting
a Colibri-backed ISO candidate and delivering on the core cost-discipline
promise.
**Current status of each item:**
- **Priority 1 (ISO boot validation):** Build wiring done, release runbook
landed (`clawdie-iso/docs/RELEASE-BUILD-RUNBOOK.md`), artifacts built on
FreeBSD host. Awaiting the 0.10.0 release build execution.
- **Priority 2 (Pi spawn end-to-end):** **Done**`poll_tasks()` wired in
`9d443a4`, integration test `poll_tasks_spawns_agent_for_claimed_task` passes.
- **Priority 3 (Cost mode enforcement):** **Done** — cost mode is single source
of truth; `session_max_bytes`/`max_uncompacted_turns` removed from
`DaemonConfig`; per-append compaction derives from `CostMode::parse()`.
The next sprint is multi-agent multi-host coordination — see
[`MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN.md`](MULTI-AGENT-HOST-PLAN.md).
---
## Priority 1: Validate the staged colibri_daemon boots and runs on the ISO
### Why this is #1
The build-side wiring is **done**. The clawdie-iso build now stages the
Colibri binaries, installs the rc.d script, creates the `colibri` user, and
enables the service. What has **not** happened yet is booting a freshly built
image and confirming `colibri_daemon` actually starts and the acceptance
runbook passes on real FreeBSD. Until that boot/runtime validation is done,
Gate 1 (passive service) is unproven.
### What's done (build wiring)
| Artifact / step | Location | Status |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| staging script | clawdie-iso `scripts/stage-colibri-iso.sh` | done — copies `colibri-daemon`, `colibri`, `colibri-test-agent`, rc.d, newsyslog, creates dirs (canonical; lives in clawdie-iso) |
| rc.d script | `packaging/freebsd/colibri_daemon.in` | done — `start_precmd`, pidfile, daemon(8) wrapper, `COLIBRI_COST_MODE` propagation |
| newsyslog config | `packaging/freebsd/newsyslog-colibri.conf` | done |
| rc.conf.sample | generated by staging script | done |
| acceptance runbook | `docs/ISO-ACCEPTANCE-RUNBOOK.md` | done |
| build integration | clawdie-iso `build.sh::install_colibri_service` | done — calls `stage-colibri-iso.sh` against the image root |
| `colibri` user/group | clawdie-iso `build.sh` (`pw useradd colibri`) | done — created in the image during build |
| service enable | clawdie-iso `build.sh` (`colibri_daemon_enable`) | done — written into image rc.conf |
| prebuilt binaries | build-host Rust toolchain (preflight-gated) | done — `build.sh` stages prebuilt release binaries and fails preflight if missing |
### What's missing (boot/runtime validation)
1. **Boot a freshly built image on FreeBSD** (bhyve VM or hardware) and confirm
the `colibri` user, binaries, rc.d script, and rc.conf entry are present in
the running system.
2. **Run the acceptance runbook on the booted image:**
```sh
service colibri_daemon start
colibri status
colibri create-task --title "iso check"
colibri list-tasks --status queued
colibri intake-task --title "iso intake check" --capability freebsd
# wait one scheduler tick
colibri list-tasks --status queued
service colibri_daemon stop
```
3. **Confirm logging + lifecycle:** pidfile is created, newsyslog rotation
config is in place, and `service colibri_daemon stop` cleanly stops the
daemon and removes the pidfile.
4. **Validate the Hermes rc.d service** (`hermes-bsd`, merged 14.jun.2026 as
`fc4b57ade`). The `hermes_daemon` rc.d script runs `hermes gateway run`
under `daemon(8)` with a dedicated user, persistent `HERMES_HOME`, and
supervisor/child pidfile separation — but it has not been booted on real
FreeBSD yet. On the same image run:
```sh
# one-time: create user + install the rc.d script per README-FreeBSD.md
service hermes_daemon start # must abort cleanly if config.yaml is missing
service hermes_daemon health
service hermes_daemon stop # supervisor exits, child does not respawn
```
Confirm: prestart aborts (exit 1, no crash loop) when
`/var/db/hermes/config.yaml` is absent; once configured, start/health/stop
work and both the supervisor and child pidfiles are cleaned up on stop.
### Key files
- clawdie-iso `scripts/stage-colibri-iso.sh` — the staging script (dir creation, bin copy, rc.d install, rc.conf.sample generation). Canonical copy lives in clawdie-iso; the colibri repo no longer keeps a duplicate.
- `packaging/freebsd/colibri_daemon.in` — rc.d script
- `docs/ISO-ACCEPTANCE-RUNBOOK.md` — acceptance commands to run on the booted image
- `docs/FREEBSD-BUILD-LANE-HANDOFF.md` — step-by-step build/boot/validate handoff for the FreeBSD agent
- clawdie-iso `build.sh``install_colibri_service()` already wires staging, user creation, and service enable
- `hermes-bsd` `packaging/freebsd/hermes_daemon.in` + `README-FreeBSD.md` — Hermes rc.d service and setup steps
### Suggested owner
ISO/build lane — FreeBSD agent (Codex) or Sam boots a built image and runs the
acceptance runbook plus the Hermes rc.d checks. No Linux-side code change is
required; this is a runtime-proof step.
---
## Priority 2: Prove the Pi spawn path end-to-end
### Why this is #2
The daemon has a full `Spawner` with provider routing, jail confinement,
retry/backoff, and `AgentHandle` that captures stdout for glasspane. But the
**daemon loop's `poll_tasks()` is a stub** (`daemon.rs:274-277`):
```rust
pub async fn poll_tasks(state: &SharedState) {
debug!("task polling tick");
let _spawner = Spawner::new(state.config.clone().into());
}
```
It creates a `Spawner` and does nothing with it. No agent is ever spawned from
the daemon loop. This blocks Gate 2 (agent observation parity): glasspane
supervision requires a real spawned process whose JSONL events flow through
to state transitions before it can be validated.
### What exists
| Capability | Location | Status |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Spawner::spawn()` | `crates/colibri-daemon/src/spawner.rs:585` | done — provider routing, jail wrap, retry/backoff |
| `AgentHandle` | `crates/colibri-daemon/src/spawner.rs:465` | done — tracks child, stdout for glasspane, kill, poll_exit |
| `take_stdout()` | `crates/colibri-daemon/src/spawner.rs:500` | done — hands stdout to glasspane supervision |
| Jail confinement | `crates/colibri-daemon/src/spawner.rs:332` | done — named/ephemeral, staged env payload, priv modes |
| `sample-pi-agent.py` | `scripts/sample-pi-agent.py` | exists — emits JSONL events for testing |
| Glasspane ingestion | `crates/colibri-glasspane/` | done — ingests JSONL, tracks pane state |
### What's missing
1. **Wire `poll_tasks()` to actually spawn agents.**
The scheduler drains `intake-task` into SQLite on tick, but no agent is
spawned to work on the task. The poll_tasks stub needs to:
- Query tasks in `queued` status with a capability match
- Build an `AgentSpawnConfig` for each
- Call `Spawner::spawn()`
- Register the `AgentHandle` in daemon state
- Hand stdout to glasspane
2. **End-to-end integration test.**
Using `scripts/sample-pi-agent.py` (or a Rust mock binary):
- Start daemon
- Create a task + intake it
- Wait for scheduler tick + spawn
- Verify glasspane observes `Starting``Running``Stopped` lifecycle
- Verify session JSONL is written
- Verify agent appears in `colibri status` / `colibri snapshot`
3. **`spawn-local` socket command (if not present).**
An operator CLI path to manually spawn a local binary for debugging:
```sh
colibri spawn-local /path/to/pi --session-id test-1
```
This may already exist as a socket command — check `socket.rs` for
`SpawnLocal` or `Spawn` command variants.
4. **Process kill/cleanup verification.**
Confirm that `AgentHandle::kill()` reliably kills the child and any jail
wrapper, and that glasspane transitions to `Stopped`.
### Key files
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/daemon.rs:274``poll_tasks()` stub (THE gap)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/daemon.rs:242``session_rotation()` (working, good reference for how other background loops iterate state)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/spawner.rs:585``Spawner::spawn()` (working)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/socket.rs` — socket command dispatch (check for spawn commands)
- `scripts/sample-pi-agent.py` — test agent that emits JSONL
- `crates/colibri-glasspane/src/` — JSONL ingestion + pane state machine
### Suggested owner
Rust lane (Hermes on Linux). Can implement and test fully on Linux with
`sample-pi-agent.py`. FreeBSD validation confirms jail path works.
---
## Priority 3: Wire cost mode into actual enforcement
### Why this is #3
Cost modes (`Fast`/`Smart`/`Max`) are the core design promise of Colibri —
"cache-first cost discipline." The code has all the pieces (thresholds,
escalation, compaction, trimming) but **they are not connected**. Right now
changing the cost mode does nothing to actual session behavior.
This is the most subtle gap because the code _looks_ like it's wired up — the
functions exist and have tests — but the call sites are missing or duplicated.
### The disconnection (detailed)
There are **two compaction paths** that use different sources of truth:
**Path A — per-append (session.rs):**
`session.rs:397-398` in `maybe_compact_or_rollover()`:
```rust
let needs_compaction = byte_count > self.config.session_max_bytes
|| turn_count > self.config.max_uncompacted_turns;
```
This reads `self.config.session_max_bytes` and
`self.config.max_uncompacted_turns` — these are **static fields** in
`DaemonConfig` loaded once from env vars (`COLIBRI_SESSION_MAX_BYTES`,
`COLIBRI_MAX_UNCOMPACTED_TURNS`). They default to 2,000,000 and 20 (Smart
values) regardless of the cost mode string.
**Path B — background rotation (daemon.rs):**
`daemon.rs:242-261` in `session_rotation()`:
```rust
let cost_mode = crate::cost::CostMode::parse(&state.config.cost_mode).unwrap_or_default();
let max_bytes = cost_mode.session_max_bytes();
let max_turns = cost_mode.max_uncompacted_turns();
```
This correctly derives thresholds from the cost mode. But it runs on a
background timer, not per-append, so it's a lagging check.
**Result:** if you set `COLIBRI_COST_MODE=fast`, the background loop will use
500K/5 thresholds, but the per-append check still uses the static 2M/20
config values. The session can grow past the Fast budget before the background
loop catches up.
### What's never called
| Function | Location | Problem |
| ---------------------------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `auto_escalate()` | `cost.rs:131` | Tested but **never called** from daemon loop or session code |
| `compact_tool_result()` | `cost.rs:165` | Tested but **never called** when appending `ToolResult` entries |
| `PromptAssembly::trim_to_budget()` | `session.rs:117` | Tested but **never called** from `build_prompt_assembly()` or `build_prompt_messages()` |
| `EscalationTrigger` | `cost.rs:117` | Type exists, tested, never constructed in production code |
### What `set-cost-mode` does
`socket.rs:657` updates `state.config.cost_mode` (the string), but does NOT
update `state.config.session_max_bytes` or `state.config.max_uncompacted_turns`
(the numeric fields). So after a mode change, the per-append compaction path
still uses the old thresholds.
### Fix plan
1. **Make per-append compaction cost-mode-aware.**
In `session.rs`, change `maybe_compact_or_rollover()` to derive thresholds
from `CostMode::parse(&self.config.cost_mode)` instead of reading the static
fields directly. Or better: remove the static fields from `DaemonConfig`
entirely and always derive from `cost_mode`.
2. **Wire `compact_tool_result()` into the append path.**
When `SessionEntry::ToolResult` is appended and
`cost_mode.compact_tool_results()` is true, run the result through
`compact_tool_result()` before writing to JSONL.
3. **Wire `auto_escalate()` into `session_rotation()`.**
After compaction, if the session is still over budget, construct an
`EscalationTrigger::CompactionInsufficient` and call `auto_escalate()`.
If escalation succeeds, log it visibly and update `state.config.cost_mode`.
4. **Wire `trim_to_budget()` into prompt assembly.**
In `build_prompt_assembly()` or `build_prompt_messages()`, call
`trim_to_budget(cost_mode)` after constructing the assembly.
5. **Make `set-cost-mode` update derived thresholds.**
When the socket command changes `cost_mode`, also update
`session_max_bytes` and `max_uncompacted_turns` to match (or remove those
fields entirely and always derive).
6. **Remove `COLIBRI_SESSION_MAX_BYTES` / `COLIBRI_MAX_UNCOMPACTED_TURNS` env vars.**
These shadow the cost mode system and cause confusion. The cost mode
string (`COLIBRI_COST_MODE=fast|smart|max`) should be the single source of
truth for thresholds.
### Key files
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/cost.rs` — cost mode logic (thresholds, escalation, compaction, headroom sidecar)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/session.rs:390``maybe_compact_or_rollover()` (uses static config, not cost mode)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/session.rs:492``build_prompt_assembly()` (doesn't call `trim_to_budget()`)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/config.rs:21,43``session_max_bytes` / `max_uncompacted_turns` static fields
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/daemon.rs:242``session_rotation()` (correctly uses cost mode, good reference)
- `crates/colibri-daemon/src/socket.rs:657``cmd_set_cost_mode()` (updates string only, not derived values)
### Suggested owner
Rust lane (Hermes on Linux). Fully testable on Linux — this is pure logic
wiring, no platform-specific behavior.

# truss Analysis — colibri-daemon Jail Spawn (21.jun.2026)
**Trace saved:** `/tmp/daemon.truss` (1964 lines, captured during successful spawn)
## The Bug
The daemon could not spawn agents inside jails. `colibri spawn-agent --jail-name`
returned "Permission denied (os error 13)" even though `sudo -n jexec proof0 ...`
worked fine from the shell.
## What truss Revealed
Two independent issues, both masked by the same EACCES error:
### 1. Bare command names in daemon(8) PATH
The daemon constructed spawn commands with bare names (`sudo`, `jexec`).
Under `daemon(8) -u clawdie`, the inherited PATH may be empty or reordered,
so `execvp` missed `/usr/local/bin/sudo` and returned EACCES.
**Fix:** `resolve_program()` — absolutizes bare names by searching a fixed
list (`/usr/local/sbin`, `/usr/local/bin`, `/usr/sbin`, `/usr/bin`, `/sbin`,
`/bin`), returning the first executable found. PR #131.
### 2. Staging directory owned by root
For jailed spawns with environment variables, the daemon's
`prepare_spawn_command` stages files under the jail root at
`<jail_root>/var/run/colibri-stage/<stage_id>/`. This directory was
created by a previous run (as root) and was mode 755 root:wheel.
The daemon runs as `clawdie` and could not write staging files there.
**Fix (history):** initially `chmod 777 <jail_root>/var/run/colibri-stage`, then
`agent-jail-bootstrap.sh` pre-created it clawdie-owned `0700` (#134). **Final
(#135):** staging moved out of root-owned `/var/run` to the daemon user's home
at `/home/clawdie/.cache/colibri/stage/<id>/`, so the daemon creates it itself
with no privileged pre-creation step (overridable via `COLIBRI_JAIL_STAGE_DIR`).
## The Winning Spawn

args=["-n", "jexec", "proof0", "/bin/sh",
