docs(design): add security isolation model — zero cross-user access

- Full container, volume, and DB-level isolation per user
- API enforcement: all queries scoped by authenticated userId
- Admins cannot see other users' keys or chat history
- Container-to-container communication blocked by default
- Team workspaces explicitly out of scope

1. ~~Config updates → restart?~~ **Yes.** Mosaic restarts the container, fresh config on boot.
2. ~~CLI alternative for breakglass?~~ **Yes.** Both WebUI wizard and CLI (`mosaic admin create-breakglass`).
3. ~~Config cache TTL?~~ **Yes.** Config fetched once at startup, changes trigger restart.
## Security Isolation Model
### Core Principle: ZERO cross-user access
Every user is fully sandboxed. No exceptions.
### Container Isolation
- Each user gets their **own** OpenClaw container (separate process, PID namespace)
- Each container has its **own** Docker volume (sessions, memory, workspace)
- Containers run on an **internal-only** Docker network — no external exposure
- Users NEVER talk to OpenClaw directly — Mosaic proxies all requests
- Container gateway tokens are unique per-user and single-purpose
### Data Isolation (enforced at API + DB level)
| Data | Isolation | Enforcement |
| ---------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| LLM API keys | Per-user, encrypted | `LlmProvider.userId` — all queries scoped by authenticated user |
| Chat history | Per-user container volume | Separate Docker volume per user, not shared |
| Agent memory | Per-user container volume | Separate Docker volume per user |
| Agent config | Per-user | `UserAgentConfig.userId` — scoped queries |
| Container access | Per-user | `UserContainer.userId` — Mosaic validates user owns the container before proxying |
### API Enforcement
- **All user-facing endpoints** include `WHERE userId = authenticatedUser.id`
- **No admin endpoint** exposes another user's API keys (even to admins)
- **Chat proxy** validates: authenticated user → owns target container → forwards request
- **Config endpoint** validates: container token matches the container requesting config
- **Provider CRUD** is fully user-scoped — User A cannot list, read, or modify User B's providers
### What admins CAN see
- Container status (running/stopped) — not contents
- User list and roles
- System-level config (OIDC, system agents)
- Aggregate usage metrics (not individual conversations)
### What admins CANNOT see
- Other users' API keys (encrypted, no decrypt endpoint)
- Other users' chat history (in container volumes, not in Mosaic DB)
- Other users' agent memory/workspace contents
### Future: Team Workspaces (NOT in scope)
Team/shared workspaces are a potential future feature where users opt-in to
shared agent contexts. This requires explicit consent, shared-key management,
and a different isolation model. **Not designed here. Not built now.**
### Attack Surface Notes
- Docker socket access (`/var/run/docker.sock`) is required by Mosaic API for container management. This is a privileged operation — the Mosaic API container must be trusted.
- `MOSAIC_SECRET_KEY` is the root of trust for encryption. Rotation requires re-encrypting all secrets in DB.
- Container-to-container communication is blocked by default (no shared network between user containers unless explicitly configured).
