Host-created Microsandbox workspace entries can appear root-owned when the workload runs as root but the developer uses a different remoteUser. Existing VMs retain their creation-time permission policy and developer identity.

Resolve the developer UID/GID from final image account files without executing image code, apply it to the primary workspace bind mount, and preserve the workload user and host inode ownership. Persist a versioned mount contract and developer identity. Current configuration replaces recorded creation-time user settings, including when remoteUser is removed. Compatible reuse refreshes developer identity even when ownership synchronization is off or no bind owner applies.

Freeze the final image before account lookup and import it under a content-derived tag. The frozen snapshot streams directly into Microsandbox without a second full-image archive on the host. Lookup and import use the same snapshot, so concurrent local or registry retagging cannot substitute a different filesystem after ownership resolution. Image inspection reads cached configuration directly without exporting image layers. Preparation freezes the full cached image. Both use the configured Docker-compatible CLI; cache probes are bounded and registry-only images require no Docker initialization.

Incompatible VM mount contracts, permission changes, developer identity changes, and secret-mount migrations require explicit --recreate. Ordinary up returns actionable guidance and preserves the VM. The driver independently rejects replacement without authorization. Runtime validation, image preparation/import, account resolution, and volume preparation finish before removal.

Explicit recreation discards the VM root disk and cannot roll back a failure after removal. Back up VM-local data first; the host workspace and named volumes persist. Dockerless developer filesystems are built after VM creation, so non-root ownership synchronization requires a prebuilt developer image. Dockerless supports literal remoteUser=root or explicit synchronization opt-out; unsupported identities fail before replacement instead of querying the bootstrap runner's accounts.

Rootful Podman commands use the configured endpoint through the quoted remote wrapper. Health failures and bounded diagnostics redact endpoint userinfo, decoded and encoded passwords, and sensitive environment values before truncation; unwrapping the diagnostic error retains only the command error, without the original output or endpoint. Setup and cleanup recovery target only the managed rootful daemon and standard sockets. Remote, custom, and rootless failures preserve their errors without restarting unrelated services or consuming the recovery gate. Shared recreation helpers preserve driver-first migration ordering, external-container rejection, and provisioning validation before teardown.

Validation:

  • Regression tests cover local and registry retagging between preparation and import, streaming without writable temporary storage, early importer exit, and cancellation; consent and preparation failures preserving running/stopped VMs; explicit consent for driver and secret migrations; current/removed user settings; image defaults; owner-independent reuse; Dockerless account isolation; unmanaged Podman endpoint failures, metadata-only cached inspection, registry fallback without a working CLI, and redaction of encoded/decoded credentials with error classification preserved.
  • Live Apple-silicon Microsandbox testing covers ownership, unchanged host inode ownership, compatible stop/start, explicit recreation, and a rejected identity migration preserving a file on the VM root disk before explicit recreation.
  • Final head ff8ac5d: focused and broader devcontainer/driver race tests passed; CI-parity lint reported 0 issues; pre-commit and commit-message checks passed; live Apple-silicon lifecycle test passed (204.242 seconds).
  • The signed follow-up commit is GitHub-verified. All 72 main CI jobs passed on this head. Applicable external checks passed; desktop build jobs were conditionally skipped and advisory checks were neutral. Greptile reviewed this head at 5/5 with no new findings. CodeRabbit completed a full review of all 22 changed files with no actionable comments, minimal merge risk, and no retained architecture-level concerns. All actionable threads are resolved. The remaining docstring-coverage warning is advisory; explanatory comments are retained for non-obvious behavior rather than added to satisfy a coverage metric. Local CodeRabbit found an error-chain disclosure and it was fixed and re-reviewed. Its suggestion to require a successful Docker probe before registry fallback is intentionally declined: registry-only workspaces must work without Docker; tests cover absent and failing CLIs. The PR remains draft for human review.

Refs #1241 and discussion #1237. Includes the rootful wrapper direction from #1302.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds image-based workspace-owner resolution and mount-contract recreation checks for Microsandbox. It updates runner recreation preparation and Microsandbox image handling. It also changes rootful Podman routing, limits daemon recovery to managed endpoints, and redacts credentials in diagnostics.

Changes

Microsandbox workspace ownership and recreation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runner recreation preparation
pkg/driver/types.go, pkg/devcontainer/metadata/metadata.go, pkg/devcontainer/single.go, pkg/devcontainer/*_test.go, pkg/driver/drivercreate/capabilities_test.go
The driver API adds recreation checks and run identity fields. The runner evaluates driver and secret migration requirements, runs provisioning preflight, and passes the effective remote user. Tests cover recreation decisions, migration checks, and identity selection.
Image account resolution and preparation
pkg/driver/microsandbox/client.go, pkg/driver/microsandbox/cliclient.go, pkg/driver/microsandbox/image_user.go, pkg/driver/microsandbox/*_test.go, pkg/image/image.go
The driver resolves user and group IDs from image account files. It prepares an image snapshot that is used for account resolution and import. Sandbox parsing reports persisted bind and tmpfs mounts.
Workspace ownership and sandbox replacement
pkg/driver/microsandbox/microsandbox.go, pkg/driver/microsandbox/mounts.go, pkg/driver/microsandbox/*_test.go
The driver applies the resolved owner to the workspace mount and records mount-contract and remote-user labels. It checks persisted contract and identity data when determining whether recreation is required. Image and volume preparation occur before sandbox removal.
End-to-end checks and provider documentation
e2e/tests/up/provider_microsandbox.go, e2e/tests/up/testdata/microsandbox/.devcontainer.json, sites/docs-devsy-sh/content/docs/developing-providers/driver.mdx
The end-to-end test checks guest-visible ownership and modes, host ownership, and sandbox creation times. The provider documentation describes identity resolution, Dockerless limits, image preparation, and recreation behavior.

Rootful Podman endpoint routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Endpoint routing and recovery
e2e/tests/up/podman_rootful.go, e2e/tests/up/podman_rootful_test.go
The wrapper uses remote Podman when DOCKER_HOST is nonempty and local Podman otherwise. Managed-endpoint classification limits daemon recovery and skip handling. Tests check endpoint handling, argument preservation, and cleanup behavior.
Diagnostic credential redaction
e2e/tests/up/podman_rootful.go, e2e/tests/up/podman_rootful_test.go
Health errors, restart failures, and diagnostic command output redact endpoint credentials and environment secrets. Tests cover encoded credentials and noncanonical URL escaping.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to ff8ac

This change adds image-derived workspace ownership for Microsandbox. Incompatible mount or identity changes now require explicit recreation, and setup failures leave the existing sandbox in place. Rootful Podman tests route commands by endpoint and redact endpoint credentials from diagnostics. No open defects remain, so the change is ready to merge after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff8ac

Ownership lookup and explicit recreation checks improve protection against unintended VM replacement. Replacement still permanently discards VM-local data, and host/guest permission enforcement and concurrent replacement behavior remain partly unverified. No introduced security concern was established in the inspected changes.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new image-derived identity affects the primary workspace share of the selected VM. Destructive replacement targets that workspace's named sandbox. Podman endpoint routing affects the service selected by the test environment; inspected evidence does not establish expansion to production tenant, IAM, or infrastructure authority.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The inspected path does not substantiate image-command execution or mutable-tag substitution after ownership resolution. Account data is parsed as data, and lookup/import share the prepared image. Regression-test source covers retagging local and registry images, but is not evidence of production execution or complete security coverage.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The driver independently checks AllowRecreate before removing an existing VM. Podman passes the endpoint as a quoted argument, avoids restarting the managed local daemon for other endpoints, and redacts endpoint credentials and environment secrets before truncating diagnostic output.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Replacement is a non-atomic find/stop/remove/create sequence. Name-based deletion also existed at the base, and a workspace file-lock facility provides counterevidence to an unconditional concurrency finding. The inspected evidence does not prove every lifecycle caller holds that lock. Preparation and stop/remove errors are propagated, but interruption after removal remains a documented non-rollback state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate the external runtime's guest-only UID/GID enforcement across supported hosts and permission modes. The E2E assertions check guest-visible ownership and unchanged host ownership after fresh start, restart, and recreation, but execution results were not supplied.
  • proposed — For future compatibility hardening, fingerprint security-relevant physical mount attributes and establish serialization or generation checks across all replacement callers. These address existing control-drift and concurrency uncertainties, not verified regressions introduced by this PR.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

[High risk] Microsandbox driver changes container execution identity and mount handling.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the changes reviewed.

What we checked:

  • Image changes during startup: No. Ownership lookup and import use the same prepared image.

Summary

Microsandbox now gives host-created workspace entries the developer’s UID and GID from the final image, without changing the workload user or host file ownership. It also records mount settings that need explicit recreation when changed, and updates rootful Podman command routing and recovery.

  • Workspace entries use the developer’s image account as their guest owner.
  • Incompatible Microsandbox settings need explicit permission to replace a VM.
  • Rootful Podman commands use the configured endpoint and safer recovery.

Addressed the cached-image finding in 88aa51ab5a295fc331507d4ccd5e61020e6692b6. Image inspection, account resolution, and import now use the configured Docker-compatible CLI cache even when ImageBuilt is false. Registry-only images retain the registry path, and availability inspection has a five-second bound. Regression tests use a synthetic cached image and configured CLI to check its metadata, UID/GID, and imported archive without contacting a registry.

The signed follow-up also addresses both inline findings, with the Dockerless compatibility limit documented explicitly. Race tests, CI-parity lint, pre-commit, the live Microsandbox lifecycle scenario, and a fresh local CodeRabbit review passed. Final-head CI and remote reviews still need to complete; this draft is not declared merge-ready.

Follow-up head: aab09e63967901a9689edb171290c533c370ff36. An additional regression test reproduced stale developer identity during owner-independent reuse (synchronization off / workspace volume): expected current-user, received the saved previous-user. The shared runner now refreshes the current configuration only for drivers implementing the recreation contract; other drivers retain their existing path. Race tests, CI-parity lint, pre-commit, and a fresh local CodeRabbit review passed. Both follow-up commits are GitHub-verified. Final-head CI and remote reviews remain pending.

Review follow-up complete at e330340207497919d24e28f497cc560295030f4c. All applicable checks passed (83 success; 3 conditional skips and 7 neutral informational checks), including all 71 main-workflow jobs. Greptile completed final-head review at 5/5; CodeRabbit completed full 22-file final-head review with no actionable comments. All review threads are resolved, all four follow-up commits have valid GitHub signatures, and the PR remains draft.

The PR description now states the remaining design limits explicitly: VM replacement removes root-disk state and has no post-removal rollback, and mutable image references are not frozen across separate lookup/import operations. These are retained architectural considerations rather than claims of transactional replacement or immutable-image selection. Dockerless non-root synchronization restrictions are also documented. The advisory docstring-coverage metric was not addressed by adding redundant comments.

The actual endpoint passed to the wrapper is unchanged. Diagnostic errors unwrap only to the command execution error, excluding the original command output and endpoint. Regression tests verify routing, classification, encoded credentials, noncanonical URL escaping, and redaction after the originating environment changes. Local race tests, CI-parity lint, pre-commit, and the live Microsandbox E2E suite passed. CI and fresh reviewer coverage for the new head are pending.

Local CodeRabbit also suggested restricting registry fallback to confirmed missing images. This would regress the existing bounded-cache-probe contract: registry-only operation works when Docker is absent or its daemon unavailable. The original localImageAvailable flow has the same fallback, and tests now cover absent/failing CLIs. Parent cancellation and malformed successful local JSON still return errors.

Final verification for ff8ac5d:

  • All 72 jobs in the main CI run passed, including Microsandbox, rootful/rootless Podman, macOS/Linux race tests, Docker, Compose, and Windows flows. Applicable external checks passed. Conditional desktop jobs were skipped and advisory statuses were neutral.
  • Local devcontainer/driver and Podman race tests, CI-parity lint (0 issues), pre-commit, commit-message checks, and the live Apple-silicon Microsandbox suite passed. The live suite completed in 204.242 seconds and verified guest ownership, unchanged host ownership, reuse, rejected recreation preserving a VM-root file, and explicit recreation.
  • Greptile reviewed this exact head at 5/5 with no new findings. CodeRabbit completed a full review through this head with no actionable comments, minimal merge risk, and no retained architecture-level concerns. All actionable threads are resolved.
  • CodeRabbit docstring coverage is an advisory warning, not a failed required check. No metric-only comments were added. Its remaining runtime/concurrency hardening proposals do not identify verified regressions; the live test results above provide execution evidence for the permission behavior.
  • GitHub verified the Samuel K commit signature as valid. The PR remains draft. Explicit recreation still discards the VM root disk without rollback; non-root Dockerless ownership synchronization still requires a prebuilt developer image.
