All three review findings accepted and fixed in Driver result contract (maintainability/medium). Correct —
Default warning sink could invert the failure policy (bug/medium). This one was a genuine logic inversion and the most valuable of the three. Fixed by making only the default sink tolerant: An injected sink is deliberately left strict, so a throwing test sink still surfaces as a test failure rather than being silently swallowed. That keeps the guard at exactly the point where the contract requires it instead of wrapping every call site. Verification on the rebased head: eslint clean, typecheck clean, 15/15 unit tests, and 9/9 real-container tests on Docker and on Podman at |

container, but neither stops an in-container process from reading the CLI's
heap: reading a same-UID process's /proc/<pid>/mem needs no capability, and it
is open()+pread() rather than the ptrace syscall a seccomp filter could deny.
That left the capability token — and the provider API key, which lives in the
same address space — readable, conditional only on the host's
kernel.yama.ptrace_scope.
The CLI now marks itself non-dumpable with prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 0) at the
launcher bootstrap. /proc/<pid>/{maps,mem} become root-owned, so
ptrace_may_access denies an ordinary same-UID reader regardless of the host
Yama setting. Measured in real containers: the read is refused at maps with
EACCES.
The two controls compose but are not interchangeable. PR_SET_DUMPABLE alone
denies the ordinary reader; CAP_SYS_PTRACE is a privileged override of the
dumpable check, so #3022's capability drop is what prevents that override.
Dropping capabilities alone denies nothing here.
prctl is a raw syscall and the dumpable flag is reset on every execve, so it
must be set in-process by the final token-holding process. That process is
always Bun — index.ts runs runBunLauncherIfNeeded() before importing the CLI
and resolveRequiredBunPath throws rather than falling back to Node — so
bun:ffi can call it with no new dependency and no native addon. The call lands
before the CLI import, ahead of settings, extensions, hooks, MCP, and the
credential-store factory.
Failure policy is conditional rather than uniformly fail-open. When the process
is credential-bearing (LLXPRT_CAPABILITY_FD or LLXPRT_CREDENTIAL_SOCKET set)
and hardening fails, the CLI refuses to start rather than load a credential it
cannot protect. When it is not credential-bearing it warns and continues, which
keeps tokenless custom images working. The gate engages on Linux when either
sandboxed or credential-bearing, so a direct credential-bearing launch is
covered too.
The real-container test has the parent read a child rather than the reverse, so
both the positive and the negative arm are independent of the host
ptrace_scope; verified passing at scope 0 and scope 1. Neutralizing the prctl
call turns the positive arm red.
This does not defend against code running inside the CLI process itself — a
malicious dependency or compromised in-process extension reads the token from
its own heap. That remains the non-goal it was in #1954.
Open Code Review found that injecting null for the prctl seam did not short-circuit: 'options.prctl ?? await resolveLibcPrctl()' treats null the same as undefined, so the null-injection test fell through to the real libc resolution. Under Bun on Linux that would resolve a working prctl and harden the test runner instead of exercising the failure path, so the test passed only because bun:ffi is unavailable under Node. Widen the seam to PrctlCallable | null and select it with an explicit undefined check so an injected null genuinely models 'prctl could not be resolved', independent of runtime. Drops the double type-cast in the test. Also records why the dlopen handle is deliberately not closed (closing it would dlclose libc while we still invoke the captured function pointer), and collapses the two near-identical container probe helpers into one.
The CLI import-boundary guard rejected the deep subpath import of FatalError (@vybestack/llxprt-code-core/utils/errors.js). The subpath was used to dodge the core barrel, which transitively pulls sharp and therefore cannot load in the sandbox image used by the container tests. Resolve both by removing the import entirely: applyProcessMemoryHardening now returns an optional abortReason instead of throwing, and packages/cli/index.ts — which already imports FatalError from the package root — owns the fatal-error policy. The module runs at the earliest bootstrap point, so having no package imports is the better shape regardless of the guard. Behavior is unchanged: credential-bearing plus hardening failure still exits 44, and the tokenless path still warns and continues.
- The driver header documented E2E_EXITED and E2E_TIMEOUT results that runE2e never produced; all failure modes surface as E2E_ERROR with the underlying message. Documented what the code actually returns and dropped the dead initial values in both modes. - killChild only sent SIGTERM and did not wait, so the parent could exit while a child still held the secret. It now waits for exit and escalates to SIGKILL after a bounded delay. - The default warning sink could turn warn-and-continue into a fatal bootstrap failure: process.stderr.write throws synchronously on a destroyed stream, and index.ts would catch that and exit. The default sink now tolerates an unusable stderr. An injected sink stays strict so a throwing test sink still surfaces.
Both new test files imported from 'vitest'. They executed under Bun via the augment-bun-vi compat preload, but the project is migrating one direction and new or modified tests must use the native bun:test API. - process-memory-hardening.test.ts now imports from bun:test and uses jest.fn / jest.restoreAllMocks instead of vi. It is registered in scripts/bun-test-manifest.ts and excluded from the Vitest selection, so it runs only under bun test. SELECTED_FILE_COUNT returns to 531 because the file is no longer part of the Vitest set. - sandboxPrivilege.real.test.ts now imports from bun:test. The integration-tests root is already a fully migrated Bun root with an include glob, so it is picked up with no manifest edit. Verified: describe.skipIf is supported by bun:test; unit suite 15/15 under bun test; container suite 9/9 on Docker and on Podman at ptrace_scope=1; the Vitest selection oracle passes at 531.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Guard the per-region read so one unreadable region does not fail the whole scan.
readSync can throw for an individual mapping even when /proc/<pid>/mem opened successfully. Regions such as guard pages or mappings that are unmapped between reading maps and reading mem return EIO. The throw escapes scanProcessMemory, reaches the catch in runParent, and turns the run into ERROR:.... The falsifiable test at integration-tests/sandboxPrivilege.real.test.ts line 484 asserts RESULT=TOKEN_RECOVERED, so this makes that arm flaky instead of reporting the real outcome.
Also consider allocating a bounded scratch buffer and reading in chunks. Buffer.alloc(size) allocates up to 1 GiB per region, which can exhaust a memory-limited container.

E2E_STAT_FAILED is not a documented result.
The header comment at lines 50-53 states that ownership-read failures surface as E2E_ERROR:<detail> with the underlying message. checkMapsOwnership instead swallows the error and returns E2E_STAT_FAILED, which is absent from the documented output list and carries no detail. A stat failure then produces an opaque container output.
Rethrow so runE2e formats it as E2E_ERROR:<detail>.

Conditional rather than uniformly fail-open, because a stderr warning does not preserve credential confidentiality:
LLXPRT_CAPABILITY_FDorLLXPRT_CREDENTIAL_SOCKETset) and hardening fails =>FatalError, exit 44. The CLI refuses to start rather than load a credential it cannot protect.The gate engages on Linux when either sandboxed or credential-bearing, so a direct credential-bearing launch is covered too.
Tests
integration-tests/sandboxPrivilege.real.test.tsgains three tests drivingintegration-tests/fixtures/process-memory-hardening-driver.ts, which imports and calls the real productionapplyProcessMemoryHardening()inside a real container using flags sourced frombuildContainerRunArgs.The parent reads a child rather than the reverse, which makes both arms independent of the host
ptrace_scope. That matters: the earlier draft had a child read its parent, which Yama denies atptrace_scope=1— the Ubuntu default, and GitHub runners are Ubuntu — so the negative control would have failed on CI for an unrelated reason. Verified passing at both scope 0 and scope 1:Falsifiability independently re-verified: neutralizing the
prctlcall turns the positive arm red (expected RESULT=TOKEN_RECOVERED to contain RESULT=MAPS_DENIED); restoring it turns it green.Plus 15 unit tests covering the gate, both failure policies, and bootstrap ordering.
Known coverage limit, stated honestly: launching the full
packages/cli/index.tsinside the container is not possible today —index.tsimports the core barrel, which transitively pullssharp, which is not installed in the sandbox image. The E2E test exercises the identical production function via the same import path and verifies/proc/<child>/mapsownership; a unit test assertsindex.tscalls it before the CLI import. AC4/AC5 wording in the plan is narrowed to match.What this does not do
It does not defend against code running inside the CLI process — a malicious dependency or compromised in-process extension reads the token from its own heap. That remains the non-goal it was in #1954. Trade-offs documented: core dumps disabled for the CLI, external ptrace-attach debugging of the CLI inside the container no longer possible (
--inspectis socket-based and unaffected), and non-glibc custom images degrade with a warning when tokenless or refuse to start when credential-bearing.Verification

Two review cycles. The design review raised 1 Blocker (fail-open contradicting the security contract) and 7 in-scope fixes — including the Yama-dependent test that would have broken CI — all accepted and fixed. Open Code Review then found that injecting
nullfor the prctl seam did not short-circuit (null ?? fallbackreturns the fallback), so the failure-path test passed only becausebun:ffiis unavailable under Node and would have behaved differently under Bun on Linux; the seam is nowPrctlCallable | nullwith an explicitundefinedcheck.
