Connect Agent BridgeClient to guest transport - #208
Connect the guest Agent runtime to the framed host bridge with a bounded request encoder, fail-closed response decoder, health handshake, and agent ask command.
Why
This completes the next v0.6.0 milestone step by converting host responses into the existing typed Plan pipeline without bypassing validation, safety, or the constrained executor.
Run make run-agent-transport, start python3 scripts/agent_bridge.py --socket /tmp/davos-agent.sock, then run agent mode llm and agent ask show me the files.
Pre-flight
gofmt -l . prints nothing
go vet -tags testing -unsafeptr=false ./... is clean
make test passes
python3 scripts/test_boot.py passes

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added agent ask <request> for submitting requests to the LLM bridge. Bridge-planned actions pass through validation and safety checks before execution.
Added a bridge health check when switching to LLM mode. Deterministic commands remain available without a host bridge.
Bug Fixes
Bridge failures and invalid plans no longer execute actions or update session context.
Confirmation prompts for file-deletion actions now show the target filename.
Documentation
Updated host-bridge guidance to describe setup, request handling, and failure behavior.
The change connects Agent LLM planning to the guest-host serial bridge. It adds bridge health checks, bounded request and response handling, and the agent ask command. Accepted bridge plans pass through validation and execution. Tests cover bridge failures, request handling, and a QEMU round trip.
Changes: Agent bridge planning and execution
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Bridge request and plan conversion agent/bridge.go, agent/planner_llm.go
Bridge requests use bounded input and optional context. The planner converts bridge results into planning results after checking actions, intents, targets, and plan validity.
Runtime bridge configuration and execution agent/runtime.go, agent/runtime_host.go, agent/types_host.go, agent/agent_test.go
The runtime stores bridge callbacks, checks availability when selecting LLM mode, and executes accepted bridge plans. Tests cover failed requests and successful execution with context updates.
Serial bridge, agent command, and validation shell/agent_bridge.go, shell/shell.go, shell/shell_test.go, scripts/agent_bridge.py, scripts/test_agent_bridge.py, scripts/test_boot.py, docs/v0.6.0/host_bridge.md
The shell checks bridge health, sends bounded requests, decodes responses, and exposes agent ask. Tests cover protocol validation and a QEMU round trip. The bridge script handles health pings without invoking provider planning. Documentation describes the request flow and failure behavior.
The host bridge can exit while the user is idle, or right after the health check when run with --once. In either case agent ask fails after LLM mode was enabled. Fix both before merging.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 933e4
The new connection preserves action validation and confirmation for deletion. However, a delayed reply can be accepted for a later request and cause the wrong action to run. The demonstrated impact is bounded to guest actions, but request identity and timeout recovery need stronger guarantees.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: A timed-out request can leave host planning in progress. If its valid response arrives after the next exchange drains input, that exchange accepts it without request correlation. The new agent ask path can consequently execute the earlier plan while recording the later input. An allowlisted read can display the wrong guest file without confirmation; deletion remains confirmation-gated. The transport limitation predates this PR, but its connection to executable shell planning is new.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The demonstrated downstream scope is the guest's allowlisted file and display operations. File reads display existing guest-file contents; confirmed deletion removes an exact-name entry from the guest file table. The inspected path does not establish arbitrary host execution or cross-tenant authority.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — A delayed host/provider result can cross a timeout into a later ask. Frame validity and action validation establish acceptable structure and action scope, but not freshness or request identity. This permits wrong-request execution and potentially unintended guest-file display, without demonstrating a deletion-confirmation bypass or additional authority for a malicious provider.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Host responses remain subject to guest-side validation and safety enforcement. The health handshake checks protocol availability, while the inspected framing and planning contracts provide no peer identity proof or request-response binding. Authentication and deployment isolation remain unestablished, rather than verified absent.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The shell accepts only confirmation or cancellation while a plan is pending, preventing a subsequent ask from superseding that shell interaction. ConfirmAction clears pending state before cancellation or confirmed execution. This control predates the PR and limits the pending-plan concern raised by direct runtime call sequences.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Bind responses to a guest-generated exchange identifier and reject stale identifiers before plan execution or context updates. Define timeout recovery that retires outstanding exchanges, and exercise the late-valid-response interleaving across consecutive asks.

Explanation
[#187] The bridge encodes input, context, and allowed actions. It converts responses into validated plans and uses the existing safety and executor path. Health checks gate LLM mode. Unit tests cover successful and failed planning, and deterministic mode remains available without the bridge. The QEMU bridge suite covers a successful planning round trip, but not a failed planning round trip. Its transport timeout probe and unavailable-mode check do not exercise a failed agent ask round trip.
Resolution
Add a QEMU-focused test for a failed bridge planning round trip. Check that no action executes and Agent context remains unchanged.

Correlate each bridge response with its request.
If a timed-out provider call returns after the next serial.Exchange has drained input, serialBridgePlan can accept its FrameResponse as the next agent ask result. Every ask uses the same allowed-action list, and bridgePlanningResult does not bind the response to the input. A stale safe read_file action can run and print the earlier target. delete_file still requires confirmation, and write_file is excluded from LLM plans. Add an exchange ID and reject responses that do not match it.

Keep the bridge running while it is idle.
After the health handshake, the next receive has a default 10-second deadline. If the user waits longer before agent ask, the bridge exits and the request fails, although LLM mode was enabled. Allow idle waits without a deadline while retaining a deadline for an in-progress frame. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

With --once, the mandatory health check consumes the only request and closes the bridge before agent ask can plan. Keep serving after health checks and exit after one planning request instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Not ready to merge. I reviewed the current head and the pending late-response fix. The head's CI is green, but serial.Exchange still accepts the first response frame. A reply from an earlier timed-out agent ask can therefore be accepted for the next request. The prepared fix correlates request/response IDs and discards stale responses within the original wait budget. It applies cleanly to this head and the Go/Python tests and go vet pass locally on that candidate. The fix still needs to be published on this branch, the review thread resolved against it, and the updated head approved independently.
