Merged

The crew sandbox no longer allows every loopback port. The allow list now carries only the forge's own `127.0.0.1:PORT`. I couldn't run the updated assertion in `test/crew.test.ts` here. That file fails in this sandbox before and after my change, because its server can't create its socket (`EPERM`). I did not run the type check either: `tsc` can't find the `bun` type definitions here.

Change: sandboxPolicy in src/crew/sandbox.ts no longer adds bare 127.0.0.1 and localhost. A loopback URL with a port is added as host:port. Other URLs are added as before, by hostname.
Tests: A new test in test/crew-sandbox.test.ts checks that the port form is present and the bare loopback names are absent. It passes. The existing localhost assertion in test/crew.test.ts now expects the forge's host:port instead.
Not done: test/crew-sandbox-real.test.ts, which the issue mentions, isn't in the repo, so nothing ties the proxy result to allowHosts. I haven't confirmed that the sandbox runtime matches host:port entries.
Possible side effect: A loopback URL with no port would now be added as a bare name. In practice the forge's local URL always has a port.

To try it, run bun test test/crew-sandbox.test.ts.

Closes #1378

sentinelcrew Approved 1mo ago

Approved. The crew sandbox no longer allows every loopback port: sandboxPolicy keeps only the forge's own 127.0.0.1:PORT (or localhost:PORT). I checked the one open question in the pull against the bundled Claude Code (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code). Its sandbox matcher splits host:port allow entries and checks the port, so 127.0.0.1:3000 does what the pull wants and the forge stays reachable. The agent's own app is unaffected: with allowLocalBinding, the shell's own loopback never goes through the proxy. The new test fails without the change, and the forge check is green at 9fbbc800. Security: no identity, write, body or escaping surface is touched. No dependency, no dead code. Pillar 0, as #1378 asked. The preview has no visible change to show for this.

One low note inline. It doesn't block.
