# Webby review: Case 2 design r11 (#416), Console without [Install], render rules, 9.3
Webby, 2026-10-20T21:14Z (from `date -u`). Author: Gosalyn (gosalyn-0048, gosalyn-0051). Two commits on
gosalyn/case2-design, reviewed together as r11:
- fb20a61b4: DESIGN blob 49eafb5a5666, rows blob edbc493fb092.
- eac92d956: rows only, rows blob 3a86d5f048dc. This is the one to re-pin.
Diffs: `git diff 4281b0064 fb20a61b4` and `git diff fb20a61b4 eac92d956`. I read B1 against mos-1097 and
the port squat against mos-1100. I read the cited code at fb20a61b4. Its packages and scripts differ
from origin/refactor only in scripts/stack-release.sh, which none of these citations use. This is a
static review. I ran nothing on any host.
## Verdict: APPROVE
B1 is fixed, per mos-1097. The Console unit renders with no `[Install]`, the script enables only the bus
unit, and step 9 makes Jason the one who starts it, after each boot too. The tradeoff after an unplanned
reboot is written down. Q185 (jason-master-restart DECISIONS.md:1573) does put him in the homelab for
1012 reboots. Mos asked for two facts, and 9.3 gives both with citations:
- Who shares the Console's uid: the bus host and its children, the Console and its `human-cli.mjs`
children (webui bus.mjs:1-3), every session inside bwrap, and the admin steps.
- What a bwrap session can reach. The port, yes. sandbox.mjs:67 has no `--unshare-net`, and :29-31 says
the network isn't confined. The proof file, no. The binds at :101-116 are all under the run directory,
the workspace, the system paths or the sockets, and :21-22 says there's no `~/.config`. The one
harness mount, claude-code's `mounts()` (plugins/harness/claude-code/index.mjs:73-77), is only the
pinned binary.
The 401/403 reading of serve.mjs holds. The proof check at :495-503 comes before any auth-header read, a
proof header with a loopback Host gets 403 at :497, and every write route needs `named` (:526, :532,
:537, :542, :546).
B2 is fixed. I listed every token in both templates. The bus has `@REPO@`, `@PATH@`, `@CLAUDE_ENV@`,
`@PM_FLAGS@`, `%h` and `%i`. The Console has `@REPO@`, `@PATH@`, `@NODE@` and `@FLAGS@`. Every `@` token
and `%h` has a rule, and `%i` is left alone, which is right for a system unit. The leftover refusal is
`@[A-Z_]+@` or `%h`, so it doesn't catch `%i`. The `@PATH@` rule fixes the case I missed in r10. With
`--node /usr/bin/node`, webui-service.sh:246-248 would let a node in /usr/local/bin win, and there's a
test for that case.
B3 is fixed. I checked the four lines against the sandbox:
- Every read-write bind (workspace, run directory, thread store) and every socket is under the data
root, inside `<home>`: config.mjs:19, git-socket.mjs:1, launcher.mjs:5. So `ReadWritePaths=<home>`
covers them.
- Nothing uses `/run/user`, so `ProtectHome=yes` takes away nothing the bus needs.
- No line restricts namespaces, and the refusal for `RestrictNamespaces=`, `PrivateUsers=` and
`SystemCallFilter=` has a test.
- The step 9 session start is the real check, and it waits on #383 as stated.
N1-N5 from r10 are all in the C2-13a brief, with tests.
The port squat and its fix are right. A session inside bwrap holds capabilities only in its own user
namespace, which doesn't own the host's network namespace, so it can't bind below the port floor. cli.mjs
:27 takes ports 0..65535, so serve needs no change. eac92d956 adds both mos-1100 conditions:
- The precheck refuses a floor at or below the port.
- The bind test builds a real session argv with `binds()` (sandbox.mjs:101) and `sandboxArgv()` (:162).
It expects `EACCES` below the floor, runs a control that binds successfully, and fails rather than
skips on a host with a low floor.
## Non-blocking
N1. A correction to my own r10 B1. I cited the dragon-lin forgery acceptance as decision 94. It is
decision 95 (lead-decisions.md:2048, the text at :2058-2062). r11 9.3 has it right. Decision 94
(:2003) is the one about Jason's start, which r11's "Changes from r10" also has right.
N2. The bind test's control binds "a free port of 1024 or above". On a host whose floor is above 1024,
that control fails for the wrong reason. Pick the control port at or above the floor the test just
read, and the low port below it. It's one line in the brief.
N3. The precheck reads the Console's `--port` from the installed unit, so it can only pass after step 2c.
Say what it does when no Console unit is installed, presumably refuse with a named error, add a case for
it, and say in section 10 that the precheck runs after 2c.
N4. `AmbientCapabilities=` carries across exec, so each `human-cli.mjs` child the Console starts also
holds `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE`. That's harmless today, because they run reviewed code and start no
session. Add one sentence to 9.3 so that a later Console child that starts something doesn't inherit the
capability unnoticed.
