The prebuilt linux-x64 binary cannot run on RHEL 8 / Rocky 8 / CentOS 8:
catdesk: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.3: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing OpenSSL 3 does not help. The binary also requires glibc 2.34, while
those distributions ship 2.28 and glibc cannot be upgraded there. Both
requirements come from building on ubuntu-22.04 (glibc 2.35, OpenSSL 3).
Switch reqwest from its default native-tls to rustls-tls, which drops openssl,
openssl-sys, native-tls and hyper-tls from the tree entirely. rustls was
already present through other dependencies, so this pulls in nothing new.
http2 and charset are listed explicitly because default-features = false would
otherwise drop them, silently disabling HTTP/2.
rustls 0.23 refuses to pick a process-level CryptoProvider when more than one
provider feature is enabled, and panics on first use. Both end up enabled here
through feature unification: ngrok requires aws-lc-rs, while reqwest's
rustls-tls pulls in ring. Install aws-lc-rs explicitly in main rather than
relying on automatic selection; it is chosen because ngrok already requires it.
Build the Linux release artifacts for x86_64-unknown-linux-musl and
aarch64-unknown-linux-musl. These are statically linked and carry no glibc
requirement, so a single artifact runs on every distribution rather than only
on those with glibc >= 2.34. macOS and Windows builds are unchanged. The target
is installed into the stable toolchain explicitly, matching the cargo +stable
invocation used to build.
Verified on Rocky Linux 8.10 (glibc 2.28, OpenSSL 1.1.1), a system where the
released binary cannot start at all. The resulting binary runs, has no
libssl/libcrypto dependency, and its highest glibc requirement is 2.28.

Landlock landed in Linux 5.13, so on RHEL 8 / Rocky 8 (4.18), Ubuntu 20.04 (5.4) and Debian 11 (5.10) the kernel does not offer it at all. The ruleset is built with CompatLevel::HardRequirement, so preparing any sandboxed command fails there and run_command -- and therefore Control Computer with multi-tools -- cannot be used. The surfaced error, "Landlock sandbox was not fully enforced", does not explain why. Rather than carry two backends, standardise on bubblewrap, which confines through mount namespaces and works far below 5.13 (Codex made the same move). It is if anything stricter: Landlock denies access to paths that remain visible, while an unbound path is simply absent from the fresh namespace, and --unshare-pid hides host processes, which Landlock cannot do. --dev supplies a minimal set of device nodes and --tmpfs /tmp keeps the host's /tmp out of reach, matching Landlock granting neither read nor write there. runtime_read_paths canonicalises, so on merged-/usr distributions it yields only /usr/bin, /usr/lib and so on. Landlock did not care, because the process still saw the host filesystem with /bin and friends intact, but bubblewrap builds a fresh namespace: without replicating those symlinks /bin/bash does not exist and every sandboxed command fails with "execvp /bin/bash: No such file or directory". --new-session is deliberately omitted. It detaches the controlling terminal, which would make /dev/tty unusable. The re-exec helper (HELPER_ARG, is_helper_invocation, exec_helper) existed only because Landlock can restrict a process solely from within itself; bubblewrap needs no re-exec, so helper_command now returns a bwrap invocation directly and the landlock crate is dropped. Verified on Rocky Linux 8.10 (kernel 4.18): inside the sandbox the workspace and scratch are writable, git/python3/gcc work and the global git config is readable, while HOME, /tmp, the SSH private key and every credential file outside the allowlist are absent. 5 processes are visible instead of the host's 278.

The teardown that disables raw mode, mouse capture and the alternate screen only runs on the ordinary exit path, and no panic hook is installed. A panic therefore leaves the terminal in raw mode with mouse capture enabled: it keeps emitting SGR mouse reports such as `35;81;24M` that nothing consumes, and the shell stays unusable until the user runs `reset`. Install a panic hook that performs the same teardown before delegating to the previous hook, so the panic message itself is still printed. The hook is process-global, but tokio catches panics in spawned tasks and keeps the rest of the runtime alive, and start_services launches axum before the TUI. Tearing the terminal down for any panic would therefore corrupt a display that is still running, so restore only when the panicking thread is the one that set the terminal up.
A plain checkout keeps .git inside the workspace, which the sandbox already makes writable, so git works. Three common layouts put it elsewhere and every git command then fails inside the sandbox with "not a git repository", because the target is simply not in the namespace: * repo checkouts symlink .git into .repo/projects/<name>.git * git worktrees replace .git with a file naming the real directory * submodules do the same, pointing into the superproject repo needs two levels: the per-checkout git directory symlinks objects, hooks and rr-cache into a shared .repo/project-objects tree, so binding only the first target still leaves git without its object store. workspace_git_paths resolves all three layouts, follows symlinked entries inside the git directory, and honours commondir for worktrees. It returns nothing for a plain checkout, so the namespace is unchanged for the common case. bubblewrap_command binds whatever it returns. The paths are writable rather than read-only, for parity with a plain checkout where .git sits in the writable workspace and git commit works. Read-only access would leave repo checkouts with a git that can inspect but not commit. A .git pointer is workspace-controlled input, so every resolved path is confined to trusted_git_metadata_roots first: an ancestor's own .git (where a worktree or submodule points) or .repo (a repo client). A pointer that escapes them -- naming $HOME, /etc, or an unrelated checkout -- is ignored entirely, so this can only ever widen the sandbox to an ancestor's git metadata, never to an arbitrary directory the checkout names. A regression test drives a .git file and a .git symlink at an external canary directory and asserts it stays out. Scope stays tight: only the git directory for this workspace is exposed, not the tree containing it. Verified on a repo checkout -- git log and git status work, while listing .repo/projects inside the sandbox shows only the current project, and HOME, the SSH private key, every credential file and the other checkouts on the machine remain absent.

Problem
A plain checkout keeps
.gitinside the workspace, which the sandbox already makes writable, so gitworks. Three common layouts put it elsewhere, and every git command then fails inside the sandbox:
repocheckouts symlink.gitinto.repo/projects/<name>.git.gitwith a file naming the real directoryReading and writing files still works, so the failure is confined to git — but for a coding agent
that means no
log,status,diff,blameorcommiton any such checkout.This is orthogonal to #14's switch to bubblewrap: the sandbox allowlist has never granted anything
outside the workspace, so the metadata is simply absent from the namespace regardless of backend.
reponeeds two levels of resolution. The per-checkout git directory symlinksobjects,hooksand
rr-cacheinto a shared.repo/project-objectstree, so binding only the first target stillleaves git without its object store:
Change
workspace_git_pathsresolves all three layouts, follows symlinked entries inside the gitdirectory, and honours
commondirfor worktrees. It returns nothing for a plain checkout, so thenamespace is unchanged in the common case.
bubblewrap_commandbinds whatever it returns.The paths are writable rather than read-only, for parity with a plain checkout where
.gitsits inthe writable workspace and
git commitworks. Read-only access would leaverepocheckouts with agit that can inspect but not commit, which seemed a worse place to stop.
Constraining what a
.gitpointer can nameA
.gitfile or symlink is workspace-controlled input, so every resolved path is confined totrusted_git_metadata_rootsbefore it is bound: a strict ancestor's own.git(where aworktree or submodule points) or
.repo(arepoclient). A pointer that escapes them — naming$HOME,/etc, or an unrelated checkout — is dropped, and if the git directory itself does notland in a trusted root nothing is returned at all. Strict ancestors only, so a
.gitsymlinkcannot nominate its own target as trusted.
Verification
On a
repocheckout (kernel 4.18):git log --oneline -3andgit status --shortreturn correct outputls .repo/projectsinside the sandbox shows only the current project, not the others in thesame tree
HOME, the SSH private key, every credential file, and the machine's other checkouts remainabsent from the namespace
On a plain checkout,
workspace_git_pathsreturns an empty set and nothing about the sandboxchanges.
Regression tests drive a
.gitfile and a.gitsymlink at an external canary directory andassert it stays out of the result, alongside the plain-checkout and ancestor-submodule cases.
