Add local reachability descriptor for same-host extensions (SAND-WP-0013-T04)
Reachability gains pid/workspace_dir, populated by enrich_reachability
whenever a backend's wait_ready() returns a pid: endpoint (currently
just ext.bwrap). build_reachability_report() now also returns a
local_exec_hint (nsenter into the pid's namespaces) alongside the
existing ssh_one_liner, so glas-harness can branch on which is
populated instead of assuming every sandbox is SSH-reachable.

title: "Bubblewrap (bwrap) local-exec extension"
status: proposed
state_hub_workstream_id: "29d6bdc4-69a4-4d06-b7c1-eb335aa6ab5e"
---
Add the first local, same-host, kernel-namespace-only sandbox extension.
Every current self-hosted extension (`ext.compose-ssh`, `ext.vm-packer`)
requires an SSH hop to a remote host plus a container runtime or VM.
`bwrap` (already installed on the workstation, unused) fills the gap: a
fast, no-remote-host, no-container-runtime backend, and the first
extension able to *actually* enforce the `network.default: deny` every
profile already declares but only documents today (`docs/security.md`
admits enforcement "varies by extension").
## Task: Extend the isolation-level model
`IsolationSpec.level` in `src/sandboxer/models.py` is a closed
`Literal["container", "microvm", "policy"]`. Add a value for
namespace/process-level isolation (e.g. `"process"`) and update any
validation/display logic that switches on it.

```
## Task: Implement `BwrapExtension`
New `src/sandboxer/extensions/bwrap.py` implementing the
`SandboxExtension` ABC (`provision`/`wait_ready`/`teardown`):
`provision()` creates a per-sandbox workspace dir, spawns the target
under `bwrap` with new user/mount/pid/net namespaces, a tmpfs root, bind
mounts scoped to the workspace, and `--unshare-net` (or a loopback-only
net namespace) so declared network-deny is real; handle =
`{sandbox_id, host: "localhost", pid, workspace_dir}`. `wait_ready()`
checks the process is alive and the workspace exists. `teardown()` kills
the process group and removes the workspace. No snapshot support
initially (`supports_snapshots()` stays `False`).

```
## Task: Register the extension and a profile
`extensions/ext.bwrap.yaml` (handler path, `capabilities.isolation_levels`
including the new value, `pricing_model: self-hosted`). New
`profiles/profile.bwrap-local.yaml` bound to `ext.bwrap`, `network.
default: deny` actually meaningful this time, suitable for CI/local dev.

## Task: Resolve local reachability vs. the SSH-based consumer contract
`docs/integrations/glas-harness.md` documents glas-harness consuming
sandboxes via `reachability.ssh` + `remote_dir`. A same-host bwrap
sandbox has no SSH hop. Decide and document: a new local reachability
descriptor (e.g. `reachability.local` with a direct workspace path +
PID), vs. requiring glas-harness to gain a direct-subprocess-exec
consumption mode. Update `docs/integrations/glas-harness.md` and
`reachability/enrich.py` accordingly. Coordinate with glas-harness
GLAS-WP-0001 (harness contract) so both sides agree before either is
built against the other.

```
## Task: Extend manager's handle whitelist
`core/manager.py::_handle_from_status` reconstructs a fixed set of
fields from stored inputs for teardown/snapshot calls. Add bwrap's
handle fields (`pid`, `workspace_dir`) to that whitelist so
teardown/restart survives a `sandboxer` CLI/process restart.

```
## Task: Tests
Mirror the existing extension test pattern (mock the subprocess/bwrap
invocation the way `tests/` mocks `SSHConfig.run` for compose-ssh);
cover provision/wait_ready/teardown, the new isolation-level value, and
extension_base conformance (`SandboxExtension` subclass checks already
exercised generically in `test_extension_base.py`).
