Subject: [PATCH 03/14] dashboard: the preview relay carries the app's
 WebSockets, from its own Origin only

A socket to a relay is taken on its own address alone (421 otherwise), from a
page of its own origin under that name (403 for a missing or foreign Origin),
origin-form only, and at most 32 at once per preview, released as each closes.
The app sees localhost as Host and Origin; bytes go both ways raw, and every
socket closes with the relay.

Also from Task 2's review: the relay refuses another site's frame with 403, as
the gateway does; previewStage says opened only to the ask that opened the
relay; and DEVTEAM_RELAY_PORTS (low-high) moves the relays' range for tests,
the refusal of new previews there moving with it.

Subject: [PATCH 07/14] docs: the supervisor relays a preview's thread to the
 session that offered it; the laptop's relay

The lens-refusal note compares the blocked address's origin, not a prefix.

 **Previews.** Any session can show the owner a running dev server, before anything is committed: `devteam.mjs preview --run '<dev command>'` (or `preview <port>` for one it already runs). The name is two words derived from the project, the session and a label, so a link outlives a restart. The Library lists it above the artifacts, a question can cite it as `[[name]]`, and everything the kit started is stopped when the session goes. On a laptop the link is `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. A preview is run state: seeing one approves nothing, and nothing of it is logged.
 
 **Threads.** On the dashboard, hold Shift and point: the cursor becomes a pin and what's under it lights up with its name (a goal, a question, a ticket, a spot on a page). Click, and a small card opens beside it with that thing at the top; what you type there goes to the supervisor as your own words, and its replies show in the card. It may ask you an Inbox question in the thread (answered in either place, once), and propose resolving it; only you resolve, and your resolution is an observation the supervisor's loop reads. Pins mark the threads on the page, and the dock at the bottom right lists every open one, with **New thread** for one about nothing in particular and **Resolved** for the last 50. On a phone, the dock's **Pin** button points without Shift. Threads and their turns are log lines, so they survive a restart and move with the project.
-**On an artifact.** The same works on a page the fleet drew: hold Shift over it in the Library's viewer and the element under the pointer lights up (`button "Buy now"`); a click starts a thread on it, and its pin stays on that element as the page scrolls. **Open** on its Library card, a `[[name]]` in a question, and the viewer's **Open in new tab** open it in a tab of its own (`/view/artifact/<name>`), with its threads and the dock and nothing else. To name the element, the kit adds a small script of its own to the page whenever it is shown in a frame, and never to the page itself: what is committed, checked and published is the page as drawn. What that script tells the dashboard is the page describing itself, so it is shown to the supervisor as data; it can't start, write or answer a thread.

What that script tells the dashboard is the page describing itself, so it is shown to the supervisor as data; it can't start, write or answer a thread. A session's running preview works the same way: click its card's title to open it here, or **Open** to open it in a tab of its own (`/view/preview/<name>`), and the pin stays on the element as the app reloads. On a laptop the dashboard reaches the app through a relay of its own (`127.0.0.1:4800`-`4899`, one per preview). The relay opens the first time you look at a preview and closes when the preview goes. It answers only to its own address, and no more than 32 live connections at a time. Just opening a preview's address never starts a relay, and a preview shown for the first time asks you to reload once. A new `preview` can't use a port in that range.
 Update the kit in every checkout of the project before you use threads: an older kit refuses thread lines when the log is mirrored to it, and leaves out of its views every answer you gave in a thread. After an update there is a short gap: until the supervisor runs its next command as the supervisor (or the dashboard notices it running), what you type in a thread waits for the supervisor's next check instead of appearing in its terminal.
 
 **One log.** Everything structured is a line in one append-only JSON Lines log, validated against `schema/log.schema.json` on write and folded by timestamp with authority rules (owner > supervisor > planner > worker). State is computed from the log plus git; nothing else is stored. One file per writer: planners write `project/log/plan-<feature>.jsonl` in their worktree, so a plan lands only through its reviewed PR; everyone else writes `run/log/<writer>.jsonl` live, and the supervisor mirrors those into `project/log/` with the `chore-log` PR.

 - **The deploy gate.** A release asks Render to build the box's image from that release's commit (`.github/workflows/box-deploy.yml`). The job runs in the GitHub environment `box`, skips prereleases, refuses a commit that isn't on `main`, and skips a release that changed nothing the image is built from (`cloud/`, `docs/devteam/dashboard/hub.html`, `docs/devteam/process/operator.md`). A release that changes only the kit doesn't restart the box, so the image's own copy of the kit (`/opt/devteam/kit`, which the operator's commands run) is the one from the last release that changed the image. It relies on settings the repo must keep: the `box` environment accepting only `v*` tags, with no approval step so that every release that changes the image deploys by itself (the owner's choice), `RENDER_DEPLOY_HOOK` held as a secret of that environment and never of the repo (a job outside the environment can't read it, and so can't call the hook with a commit of its choosing), and rulesets on `main` and `v*` tags. A release runs the workflow file as of its own tagged commit, so the checks in that file are only as trustworthy as the commit; the environment is the gate that commit can't edit. **Agents share the owner's `gh` login**, so an agent can do what that login can, including publishing a release or changing these settings. These gates raise the bar and make an unwanted deploy visible; they are not a hard boundary. A deploy that failed or was rejected isn't redone by a later release that leaves the image alone: re-run its job. The gateway keeps its own copies of the kit's artifact type map, CDN list and page policy for public pages (a test fails while they differ), so changing one in the kit changes `cloud/gateway.mjs` too, and that release deploys the box.
 - **The gateway** (`cloud/gateway.mjs`, Node, no dependencies) is the only thing listening publicly. It checks the passkey, refuses any request whose Origin isn't the page's own (and reads another site's page asks for), and passes requests to the kit as a local browser's, so the kit runs unchanged. It runs as its own user, so no agent can read or write its passkeys. It also serves `public.box.example.com`, from its own copy of what the owner published, with no sign-in; it sets no cookie there, and reads the owner's only to choose the owner's own view of a page (below).
 - **Public artifacts.** The owner can make a landed artifact readable by anyone at `public.box.example.com/<project>/<slug>/` (`project` must be set in settings.md: it is part of every link). The Library's **Publish** opens a page on the box's own name that shows exactly what goes up; confirming it, the gateway fetches every file from that instance, checks each against the manifest it showed and the tree id against the bytes, keeps its own copy, and has the kit record an owner `artifact-publish` act in the log. From then on nothing on the box changes what is served: not the port, not main, not the log. **Update** publishes main's newer version, **Unpublish** takes a page down within a minute, and `box.example.com/public/` lists what is public. The record moves with the log; on a new box the Library shows each published artifact as not live there, and **Restore all** opens one confirm page for them. Each item starts unticked, because the box holds no copy of what was published, and each is what main holds now: the Library warns when that differs from what the log records (**Review all**), and the page names every file. Nothing else is public: no index, no drafts, no cookies on that name. The total is capped by `DEVTEAM_PUBLIC_MAX` (bytes, default 500 MB). Agents can't publish: only the gateway's own page can, and only for the signed-in owner. An agent on the box can still forge the log's record of a publish, so the record is only ever a reason to ask. Signed in, the owner opening a public link gets a page of the gateway's instead: the project's viewer, showing exactly the published version (served by the kit from git by its tree id), so a thread can be started on it, under a one-line bar whose **Open it as the public sees it** shows the plain page. That needs the project's dashboard running on the box, with a kit that has viewers; otherwise, or whenever anything about it is in doubt, the owner sees the plain page too. A version the box's checkout doesn't have shows main's, and says so.
-- **Dev links.** A session's `preview` gets a name of its own, `cool-tiger.box.example.com`, two words derived from the project, the session and a label, under the wildcard the box already has. Only the signed-in owner can open one: it is behind the passkey session like an instance, and nothing about it is ever public. The gateway proxies HTTP and WebSockets to the session's dev server with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, strips the session cookie and refuses `Domain=` cookies, so the app gets an origin of its own and can read nothing of the owner's. `box.example.com/dev/` lists every preview on the box, one tap from the hub. A link goes when its session goes (worktree removal, expiry after 7 days of no `preview`, or a day without an answer), and the kit prints no box link until the box runs a release with this gateway (`DEVTEAM_PREVIEWS=1`). From the installed (Home Screen) hub a link opens in an in-app browser with its own cookies, so the first one asks for the passkey once. A preview's name also answers `/.devteam/lens`, a page of the gateway's own that frames the app for the dashboard's viewer, so a thread can point at an element in a running app; a GET of that path can't reach the app through the link (other methods there still go to the app).

On a laptop the kit's relay does the same: it serves that page on `GET /.devteam/lens`, and forwards everything else to the app with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, sockets included (only from the relay's own page). The relay answers only to its own address (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost` on its port), takes WebSockets only from its own `Origin`, holds at most 32 sockets, and refuses to be framed by another site.
 - **Give the box a domain of its own**, not a subdomain of one you use for anything else. A page an agent serves on an instance's name can write cookies for the whole domain, and when too many pile up the gateway clears them, which signs you out of everything else on that domain too. Treat an instance's name as untrusted for the same reason: an agent can answer on an unused port and appear as a tab. A preview's own name relies on this too: it can only be framed, or get its `SameSite` cookies, from a same-site page if the box's name is a registrable domain of its own (not a subdomain of a public suffix like `*.onrender.com`).
 - **Passkey prompts from an agent's page.** Passkeys belong to `box.example.com`, the parent of every instance's name, so a page an agent serves on an instance's or a preview's name can raise a genuine passkey prompt for the box. It can't sign in with one, since the gateway only accepts sign-ins from the box's own page. But approving a prompt you didn't start reveals your passkey's user ID, and approving a create could replace your passkey in your password manager, locking you out until `devteam-reclaim`. Only approve a prompt you started on the box's own page, and keep a second passkey registered.
-- **A preview's framing headers give way once.** The gateway drops an app's `X-Frame-Options` and sets its `frame-ancestors` for one kind of load only: the app framed from its own name, which is how its lens holds it. An app that sends no framing headers at all, as dev servers do by default, gets that policy too. The app then accepts only its lens, the hub and the instance that lists the preview as frame ancestors. The lens page itself can be framed by any of the box's instance names, where an agent's page can also sit (on an unused port), but the app inside it is refused there, so that page sees an empty frame. The list of previews is written by the instances, though, so the app can be read through its lens (its text, HTML, routes and console errors, as the app shows them to you with your cookies for that app) by a page on any instance name that lists the dev server's port as a preview of its own. A port two instances list is shown as ambiguous under every name and served under none, so an agent can't take over a dev server that a real instance lists; one that no instance lists can still be claimed. Keep secrets out of dev apps on the box, as for anything an agent can reach. A top-level load and every other frame get the app's own headers, and another site's frame is still refused. The framed app can still open a window of its own from your click (an OAuth popup, a link), unsandboxed, as it could when opened plain. The lens shares the app's origin, so the app can rewrite it, or lie through it about what is on the page: what reaches the supervisor from there is a description of the page, given to it as data, and it can't start, write or answer a thread.
+- **A preview's framing headers give way once.** The gateway drops an app's `X-Frame-Options` and sets its `frame-ancestors` for one kind of load only: the app framed from its own name, which is how its lens holds it. On a laptop the kit's relay gives way the same way, for the same load only, to the lens, the hub and the dashboard that offered the preview. The dashboard computes the `frame-src` of a viewer for each request, from the relays open at that moment, so a relay opened later is outside the policy of a page already loaded; the viewer reloads once, and the stage here says to reload. An app that sends no framing headers at all, as dev servers do by default, gets that policy too. The app then accepts only its lens, the hub and the instance that lists the preview as frame ancestors. The lens page itself can be framed by any of the box's instance names, where an agent's page can also sit (on an unused port), but the app inside it is refused there, so that page sees an empty frame.

 - **The public name reads the session cookie** to choose the owner's own view of a page, and for nothing else. It never forwards the cookie or sets one, that view is never cached (`no-store, private`), and the plain page says `Vary: Cookie, Sec-Fetch-Dest`, so a cache in between can at worst hand the owner the plain page, and never hands that view to anyone else. Both pages open with `Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin`, so a page that opened one in a popup can't reach it or read who is visiting. The choice is made from the instances list the gateway reads every 10 seconds, so it asks nothing while you wait and takes the same time whoever visits: a page on another site can't time it to learn you're signed in, and your instance doesn't learn when you open a page. An instance's viewer accepts the public name as a frame ancestor only through a link the owner's view itself made, good for a few minutes, and a published version's files only for that very published version. That is safe because nothing on the public name can frame a page: published pages are served with `frame-src 'none'`, and the owner's view frames only your own instance. The kit says who may frame its viewer and its published versions by policy only, never `X-Frame-Options`, so the gateway's addition is all it takes; the viewer keeps the owner's view's link in its own address and passes nothing of it on. A window the viewer opens from there gets no handle on it: the gateway's opener policy cuts it, and the dashboard opens every new tab without one anyway.
 - **Notification text is written by agents**, since an agent can appear as an instance, so it can be misleading. Tapping one is safe: it only ever opens the hub.
 - **The terminal can write to your clipboard.** Copying in tmux reaches your own computer's clipboard (OSC 52), and so can anything an agent prints there, within a few seconds of your typing or clicking in that terminal. Check what you paste from it into a shell.

 Everything structured is a line in the log (`schema/log.schema.json`). You write to `run/log/supervisor-<month>.jsonl`, workers to `run/log/<ticket>.jsonl`, the owner to `run/log/owner-<month>.jsonl`, the moment it happens. Planners write `project/log/plan-<feature>.jsonl` in their worktree, so a plan reaches the fold only through its PR. `log-sync` mirrors the live files into `project/log/` on branch `chore-log` and opens the PR; `merge --chore log` lands it. Its body lists every change a non-owner made to tickets, features, goals or questions since the last sync, so re-plans get one look.

 **Previews.** Any session can show the owner a running dev server, before anything is committed: `devteam.mjs preview --run '<dev command>'` (or `preview <port>` for one it already runs). The name is two words derived from the project, the session and a label, so a link outlives a restart. The Library lists it above the artifacts, a question can cite it as `[[name]]`, and everything the kit started is stopped when the session goes. On a laptop the link is `http://127.0.0.1:<port>`. A preview is run state: seeing one approves nothing, and nothing of it is logged.
 
 **Threads.** On the dashboard, hold Shift and point: the cursor becomes a pin and what's under it lights up with its name (a goal, a question, a ticket, a spot on a page). Click, and a small card opens beside it with that thing at the top; what you type there goes to the supervisor as your own words, and its replies show in the card. It may ask you an Inbox question in the thread (answered in either place, once), and propose resolving it; only you resolve, and your resolution is an observation the supervisor's loop reads. Pins mark the threads on the page, and the dock at the bottom right lists every open one, with **New thread** for one about nothing in particular and **Resolved** for the last 50. On a phone, the dock's **Pin** button points without Shift. Threads and their turns are log lines, so they survive a restart and move with the project.
-**On an artifact or a preview.** The same works on a page the fleet drew: hold Shift over it in the Library's viewer and the element under the pointer lights up (`button "Buy now"`); a click starts a thread on it, and its pin stays on that element as the page scrolls. **Open** on its Library card, a `[[name]]` in a question, and the viewer's **Open in new tab** open it in a tab of its own (`/view/artifact/<name>`), with its threads and the dock and nothing else. To name the element, the kit adds a small script of its own to the page whenever it is shown in a frame, and never to the page itself: what is committed, checked and published is the page as drawn. What that script tells the dashboard is the page describing itself, so it is shown to the supervisor as data; it can't start, write or answer a thread. A session's running preview works the same way: click its card's title to open it here, or **Open** to open it in a tab of its own (`/view/preview/<name>`), and the pin stays on the element as the app reloads. On a laptop the dashboard reaches the app through a relay of its own (`127.0.0.1:4800`-`4899`, one per preview). The relay opens the first time you look at a preview and closes when the preview goes. It answers only to its own address, and no more than 32 live connections at a time. Just opening a preview's address never starts a relay, and a preview shown for the first time asks you to reload once. A new `preview` can't use a port in that range.

Just opening a preview's address never starts a relay, and a preview shown for the first time asks you to reload once in the dashboard, and a tab of its own reloads itself once. A new `preview` can't use a port in that range.
 Update the kit in every checkout of the project before you use threads: an older kit refuses thread lines when the log is mirrored to it, and leaves out of its views every answer you gave in a thread. After an update there is a short gap: until the supervisor runs its next command as the supervisor (or the dashboard notices it running), what you type in a thread waits for the supervisor's next check instead of appearing in its terminal.
 
 **One log.** Everything structured is a line in one append-only JSON Lines log, validated against `schema/log.schema.json` on write and folded by timestamp with authority rules (owner > supervisor > planner > worker). State is computed from the log plus git; nothing else is stored. One file per writer: planners write `project/log/plan-<feature>.jsonl` in their worktree, so a plan lands only through its reviewed PR; everyone else writes `run/log/<writer>.jsonl` live, and the supervisor mirrors those into `project/log/` with the `chore-log` PR.

It runs as its own user, so no agent can read or write its passkeys. It also serves `public.box.example.com`, from its own copy of what the owner published, with no sign-in; it sets no cookie there, and reads the owner's only to choose the owner's own view of a page (below).
 - **Public artifacts.** The owner can make a landed artifact readable by anyone at `public.box.example.com/<project>/<slug>/` (`project` must be set in settings.md: it is part of every link). The Library's **Publish** opens a page on the box's own name that shows exactly what goes up; confirming it, the gateway fetches every file from that instance, checks each against the manifest it showed and the tree id against the bytes, keeps its own copy, and has the kit record an owner `artifact-publish` act in the log. From then on nothing on the box changes what is served: not the port, not main, not the log. **Update** publishes main's newer version, **Unpublish** takes a page down within a minute, and `box.example.com/public/` lists what is public. The record moves with the log; on a new box the Library shows each published artifact as not live there, and **Restore all** opens one confirm page for them. Each item starts unticked, because the box holds no copy of what was published, and each is what main holds now: the Library warns when that differs from what the log records (**Review all**), and the page names every file. Nothing else is public: no index, no drafts, no cookies on that name. The total is capped by `DEVTEAM_PUBLIC_MAX` (bytes, default 500 MB). Agents can't publish: only the gateway's own page can, and only for the signed-in owner. An agent on the box can still forge the log's record of a publish, so the record is only ever a reason to ask. Signed in, the owner opening a public link gets a page of the gateway's instead: the project's viewer, showing exactly the published version (served by the kit from git by its tree id), so a thread can be started on it, under a one-line bar whose **Open it as the public sees it** shows the plain page. That needs the project's dashboard running on the box, with a kit that has viewers; otherwise, or whenever anything about it is in doubt, the owner sees the plain page too. A version the box's checkout doesn't have shows main's, and says so.
-- **Dev links.** A session's `preview` gets a name of its own, `cool-tiger.box.example.com`, two words derived from the project, the session and a label, under the wildcard the box already has. Only the signed-in owner can open one: it is behind the passkey session like an instance, and nothing about it is ever public. The gateway proxies HTTP and WebSockets to the session's dev server with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, strips the session cookie and refuses `Domain=` cookies, so the app gets an origin of its own and can read nothing of the owner's. `box.example.com/dev/` lists every preview on the box, one tap from the hub. A link goes when its session goes (worktree removal, expiry after 7 days of no `preview`, or a day without an answer), and the kit prints no box link until the box runs a release with this gateway (`DEVTEAM_PREVIEWS=1`). From the installed (Home Screen) hub a link opens in an in-app browser with its own cookies, so the first one asks for the passkey once. A preview's name also answers `/.devteam/lens`, a page of the gateway's own that frames the app for the dashboard's viewer, so a thread can point at an element in a running app; a GET of that path can't reach the app through the link (other methods there still go to the app). On a laptop the kit's relay does the same: it serves that page on `GET /.devteam/lens`, and forwards everything else to the app with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, sockets included (only from the relay's own page). The relay answers only to its own address (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost` on its port), takes WebSockets only from its own `Origin`, holds at most 32 sockets, and refuses to be framed by another site.
+- **Dev links.** A session's `preview` gets a name of its own, `cool-tiger.box.example.com`, two words derived from the project, the session and a label, under the wildcard the box already has. Only the signed-in owner can open one: it is behind the passkey session like an instance, and nothing about it is ever public. The gateway proxies HTTP and WebSockets to the session's dev server with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, strips the session cookie and refuses `Domain=` cookies, so the app gets an origin of its own and can read nothing of the owner's. `box.example.com/dev/` lists every preview on the box, one tap from the hub.

On a laptop the kit's relay does the same: it serves that page on `GET /.devteam/lens`, and forwards everything else to the app with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, sockets included (only from the relay's own page). The relay answers only to its own address (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost` on its port), takes WebSockets only from its own `Origin`, holds at most 32 sockets per preview, and refuses to be framed by another site: only pages on this machine's dashboards can frame it.
 - **Give the box a domain of its own**, not a subdomain of one you use for anything else. A page an agent serves on an instance's name can write cookies for the whole domain, and when too many pile up the gateway clears them, which signs you out of everything else on that domain too. Treat an instance's name as untrusted for the same reason: an agent can answer on an unused port and appear as a tab. A preview's own name relies on this too: it can only be framed, or get its `SameSite` cookies, from a same-site page if the box's name is a registrable domain of its own (not a subdomain of a public suffix like `*.onrender.com`).
 - **Passkey prompts from an agent's page.** Passkeys belong to `box.example.com`, the parent of every instance's name, so a page an agent serves on an instance's or a preview's name can raise a genuine passkey prompt for the box. It can't sign in with one, since the gateway only accepts sign-ins from the box's own page. But approving a prompt you didn't start reveals your passkey's user ID, and approving a create could replace your passkey in your password manager, locking you out until `devteam-reclaim`. Only approve a prompt you started on the box's own page, and keep a second passkey registered.
 - **A preview's framing headers give way once.** The gateway drops an app's `X-Frame-Options` and sets its `frame-ancestors` for one kind of load only: the app framed from its own name, which is how its lens holds it. On a laptop the kit's relay gives way the same way, for the same load only, to the lens, the hub and the dashboard that offered the preview. The dashboard computes the `frame-src` of a viewer for each request, from the relays open at that moment, so a relay opened later is outside the policy of a page already loaded; the viewer reloads once, and the stage here says to reload. An app that sends no framing headers at all, as dev servers do by default, gets that policy too. The app then accepts only its lens, the hub and the instance that lists the preview as frame ancestors. The lens page itself can be framed by any of the box's instance names, where an agent's page can also sit (on an unused port), but the app inside it is refused there, so that page sees an empty frame. The list of previews is written by the instances, though, so the app can be read through its lens (its text, HTML, routes and console errors, as the app shows them to you with your cookies for that app) by a page on any instance name that lists the dev server's port as a preview of its own. A port two instances list is shown as ambiguous under every name and served under none, so an agent can't take over a dev server that a real instance lists; one that no instance lists can still be claimed. Keep secrets out of dev apps on the box, as for anything an agent can reach. A top-level load and every other frame get the app's own headers, and another site's frame is still refused. The framed app can still open a window of its own from your click (an OAuth popup, a link), unsandboxed, as it could when opened plain. The lens shares the app's origin, so the app can rewrite it, or lie through it about what is on the page: what reaches the supervisor from there is a description of the page, given to it as data, and it can't start, write or answer a thread.

Subject: [PATCH 11/14] Kit: a dashboard framed by its own origin draws one
 line, and the relay never serves a dashboard

The page now stops at the top of its head when its parent is a page of its own
origin (a preview's app or an artifact's page sent its frame here), so no poll or
action runs under the owner's pointer. A relay is never opened for this dashboard's
port or any port that answers a dashboard's hello, and a new registration refuses
both. The relay gives up on an app that takes a WebSocket and sends no head (10 s),
its divergences from the gateway are written down, and README, spec section 7, the
ports layout comment and the stage flood asserts are corrected.

The job runs in the GitHub environment `box`, skips prereleases, refuses a commit that isn't on `main`, and skips a release that changed nothing the image is built from (`cloud/`, `docs/devteam/dashboard/hub.html`, `docs/devteam/process/operator.md`). A release that changes only the kit doesn't restart the box, so the image's own copy of the kit (`/opt/devteam/kit`, which the operator's commands run) is the one from the last release that changed the image. It relies on settings the repo must keep: the `box` environment accepting only `v*` tags, with no approval step so that every release that changes the image deploys by itself (the owner's choice), `RENDER_DEPLOY_HOOK` held as a secret of that environment and never of the repo (a job outside the environment can't read it, and so can't call the hook with a commit of its choosing), and rulesets on `main` and `v*` tags. A release runs the workflow file as of its own tagged commit, so the checks in that file are only as trustworthy as the commit; the environment is the gate that commit can't edit. **Agents share the owner's `gh` login**, so an agent can do what that login can, including publishing a release or changing these settings. These gates raise the bar and make an unwanted deploy visible; they are not a hard boundary. A deploy that failed or was rejected isn't redone by a later release that leaves the image alone: re-run its job. The gateway keeps its own copies of the kit's artifact type map, CDN list and page policy for public pages (a test fails while they differ), so changing one in the kit changes `cloud/gateway.mjs` too, and that release deploys the box.
 - **The gateway** (`cloud/gateway.mjs`, Node, no dependencies) is the only thing listening publicly. It checks the passkey, refuses any request whose Origin isn't the page's own (and reads another site's page asks for), and passes requests to the kit as a local browser's, so the kit runs unchanged. It runs as its own user, so no agent can read or write its passkeys. It also serves `public.box.example.com`, from its own copy of what the owner published, with no sign-in; it sets no cookie there, and reads the owner's only to choose the owner's own view of a page (below).
 - **Public artifacts.** The owner can make a landed artifact readable by anyone at `public.box.example.com/<project>/<slug>/` (`project` must be set in settings.md: it is part of every link). The Library's **Publish** opens a page on the box's own name that shows exactly what goes up; confirming it, the gateway fetches every file from that instance, checks each against the manifest it showed and the tree id against the bytes, keeps its own copy, and has the kit record an owner `artifact-publish` act in the log. From then on nothing on the box changes what is served: not the port, not main, not the log. **Update** publishes main's newer version, **Unpublish** takes a page down within a minute, and `box.example.com/public/` lists what is public. The record moves with the log; on a new box the Library shows each published artifact as not live there, and **Restore all** opens one confirm page for them. Each item starts unticked, because the box holds no copy of what was published, and each is what main holds now: the Library warns when that differs from what the log records (**Review all**), and the page names every file. Nothing else is public: no index, no drafts, no cookies on that name. The total is capped by `DEVTEAM_PUBLIC_MAX` (bytes, default 500 MB). Agents can't publish: only the gateway's own page can, and only for the signed-in owner. An agent on the box can still forge the log's record of a publish, so the record is only ever a reason to ask. Signed in, the owner opening a public link gets a page of the gateway's instead: the project's viewer, showing exactly the published version (served by the kit from git by its tree id), so a thread can be started on it, under a one-line bar whose **Open it as the public sees it** shows the plain page. That needs the project's dashboard running on the box, with a kit that has viewers; otherwise, or whenever anything about it is in doubt, the owner sees the plain page too. A version the box's checkout doesn't have shows main's, and says so.
-- **Dev links.** A session's `preview` gets a name of its own, `cool-tiger.box.example.com`, two words derived from the project, the session and a label, under the wildcard the box already has. Only the signed-in owner can open one: it is behind the passkey session like an instance, and nothing about it is ever public. The gateway proxies HTTP and WebSockets to the session's dev server with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, strips the session cookie and refuses `Domain=` cookies, so the app gets an origin of its own and can read nothing of the owner's. `box.example.com/dev/` lists every preview on the box, one tap from the hub. A link goes when its session goes (worktree removal, expiry after 7 days of no `preview`, or a day without an answer), and the kit prints no box link until the box runs a release with this gateway (`DEVTEAM_PREVIEWS=1`). From the installed (Home Screen) hub a link opens in an in-app browser with its own cookies, so the first one asks for the passkey once. A preview's name also answers `/.devteam/lens`, a page of the gateway's own that frames the app for the dashboard's viewer, so a thread can point at an element in a running app; a GET of that path can't reach the app through the link (other methods there still go to the app). On a laptop the kit's relay does the same: it serves that page on `GET /.devteam/lens`, and forwards everything else to the app with `localhost` as `Host` and `Origin`, sockets included (only from the relay's own page). The relay answers only to its own address (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost` on its port), takes WebSockets only from its own `Origin`, holds at most 32 sockets per preview, and refuses to be framed by another site: only pages on this machine's dashboards can frame it.

The relay answers only to its own address (`127.0.0.1` or `localhost` on its port), takes WebSockets only from its own `Origin`, holds at most 32 sockets per preview, and refuses to be framed by another site. Its lens can be framed only by this machine's hub and dashboards (its policy names them); the app itself can be framed only by its lens, the hub and the dashboard that offered it when it is loaded from its own origin, and by any other page on this machine (any port) on the app's own headers, which are the app's to set.
 - **Give the box a domain of its own**, not a subdomain of one you use for anything else. A page an agent serves on an instance's name can write cookies for the whole domain, and when too many pile up the gateway clears them, which signs you out of everything else on that domain too. Treat an instance's name as untrusted for the same reason: an agent can answer on an unused port and appear as a tab. A preview's own name relies on this too: it can only be framed, or get its `SameSite` cookies, from a same-site page if the box's name is a registrable domain of its own (not a subdomain of a public suffix like `*.onrender.com`).
 - **Passkey prompts from an agent's page.** Passkeys belong to `box.example.com`, the parent of every instance's name, so a page an agent serves on an instance's or a preview's name can raise a genuine passkey prompt for the box. It can't sign in with one, since the gateway only accepts sign-ins from the box's own page. But approving a prompt you didn't start reveals your passkey's user ID, and approving a create could replace your passkey in your password manager, locking you out until `devteam-reclaim`. Only approve a prompt you started on the box's own page, and keep a second passkey registered.
 - **A preview's framing headers give way once.** The gateway drops an app's `X-Frame-Options` and sets its `frame-ancestors` for one kind of load only: the app framed from its own name, which is how its lens holds it. On a laptop the kit's relay gives way the same way, for the same load only, to the lens, the hub and the dashboard that offered the preview. The dashboard computes the `frame-src` of a viewer for each request, from the relays open at that moment, so a relay opened later is outside the policy of a page already loaded; the viewer reloads once, and the stage here says to reload. An app that sends no framing headers at all, as dev servers do by default, gets that policy too. The app then accepts only its lens, the hub and the instance that lists the preview as frame ancestors. The lens page itself can be framed by any of the box's instance names, where an agent's page can also sit (on an unused port), but the app inside it is refused there, so that page sees an empty frame. The list of previews is written by the instances, though, so the app can be read through its lens (its text, HTML, routes and console errors, as the app shows them to you with your cookies for that app) by a page on any instance name that lists the dev server's port as a preview of its own. A port two instances list is shown as ambiguous under every name and served under none, so an agent can't take over a dev server that a real instance lists; one that no instance lists can still be claimed. Keep secrets out of dev apps on the box, as for anything an agent can reach. A top-level load and every other frame get the app's own headers, and another site's frame is still refused. The framed app can still open a window of its own from your click (an OAuth popup, a link), unsandboxed, as it could when opened plain. The lens shares the app's origin, so the app can rewrite it, or lie through it about what is on the page: what reaches the supervisor from there is a description of the page, given to it as data, and it can't start, write or answer a thread.

    - For a load framed from its own origin (`sec-fetch-dest: iframe`, `sec-fetch-site: same-origin`) only, `x-frame-options` goes and every `frame-ancestors` becomes `'self' http://127.0.0.1:<hub> http://127.0.0.1:<this dashboard>`. An app with no `frame-ancestors` (a dev server's default) gets that as a policy of its own, on that load.

+   - Where it diverges from the gateway on purpose (a laptop's relay holds no session, and a dev app is the owner's own): it forwards a non-GET with a foreign `Origin` as it is, for the app to refuse, and cross-site non-navigate fetches (the gateway refuses both); it passes `clear-site-data` (the gateway strips it); and it answers a plain-text 502 when the app is down, where the gateway serves an HTML 503.
    - What it doesn't mirror, and why: no session check (the relay listens on 127.0.0.1 only, like the dev server, and holds nothing more), no cookie filtering (no session cookie to protect, and the app's cookies are already `127.0.0.1`'s), and no `Strict-Transport-Security`.
 2. **The relay answers only on its own `Host`** (`127.0.0.1:<relay>` or `localhost:<relay>`), as the dashboard does, so a page that rebinds a name to 127.0.0.1 gets nothing.
 3. **One relay per preview, on 4800-4899** (the spec's 4500-4599 moved: see below). Its port is the first in the range that nothing answers on (`portFree`, on 127.0.0.1 and `::1`), that no preview record here holds, and that it can bind. Instances on one laptop share the range and never collide. It opens only from `/api/view?kind=preview` (same-origin, the page's own first ask), never from a GET of `/view/preview/`, which any page can make (a navigation carries no `sec-fetch-site` check). It closes when the record goes or its port changes, from the preview tick. If no port is free, nothing is kept for it, so the next ask tries again.

 - The app is framed with `sandbox` minus top navigation. The app's `X-Frame-Options` and `frame-ancestors` are relaxed in exactly one case: a framed load from its own origin (`sec-fetch-dest: iframe`, `sec-fetch-site: same-origin`), which is the lens's. There the app's `frame-ancestors` becomes `'self'`, the hub and the origin of the one instance whose hello lists the preview: `'self'` alone would refuse the app inside its own lens, whose parents are the dashboard and the hub. A lens framed by any other instance's page gets an empty frame. An app that said nothing of frames by policy (`X-Frame-Options` alone, or no framing header at all, a dev server's default) gets that same `frame-ancestors` as a policy of its own, on that load only. A name two instances list, a dev port two instances list (every name on it), or a name the hub doesn't list, is never proxied, so it never reaches the relaxation. The hub's list is agent-written, so the app can be read through its lens by a page on any instance name that lists the dev server's port as a preview of its own; the shared-port rule means that can't be a port a real instance lists, and a dev port that no instance lists can still be claimed.
 - The lens's source lives once in `devteam.mjs` and once in `cloud/gateway.mjs`; a test asserts they are byte-identical, as the CDN list and type map are.
 - In the dashboard, the viewer shows previews in the in-page stage too, framing the same lens.

Subject: [PATCH 12/14] Kit: no test hook in the dashboard page; the
 framed-viewer tests frame from another origin

The two viewer subtests that framed the viewer under a page of its own origin now
frame it from a stand-in hub (the dashboard's frame-ancestors name the hub's
address), read through the frame's own script world, as the hub and the owner's
wrapper frame it. The shipped page carries no seam.

Subject: [PATCH 13/14] Kit: a relay's requests carry a mark every dashboard
 route refuses, and a relay closes when its target becomes a dashboard

The relay sets x-devteam-relay on everything it forwards (a page's own copy replaced),
and the dashboard answers 403 to any request that has it, before any route. The tick
probes each open relay's target again. The own-dashboard check on registration also
reads settings.md's dashboard_port, and the lens policy and the relaxed app policy
name localhost for this dashboard as well.
