Kenny Van de Maele 620fdd0859 feat(agent): confine agent file/shell tools to a selectable workspace (#3665)
* feat(agent): workspace confinement via context-local binding + get_workspace tool

Bind the per-turn workspace once in execute_tool_block; the shared path
resolvers (_resolve_tool_path / _resolve_search_root) and the subprocess cwd
helper (agent_cwd) read it, so file tools + bash/python are confined centrally
and a new tool that uses the shared helpers cannot accidentally bypass it.

Adds the admin-gated /api/workspace/browse picker, a workspace pill + directory
modal (reusing existing modal/button CSS), the /workspace slash command, and a
get_workspace tool (replaces a system-prompt block). Confinement is OS-agnostic
(realpath/normcase/commonpath) and docker-safe (container paths, no host
assumptions). Reopens #2023.

* ux(workspace): clarify workspace is not a sandbox

Picker modal note + pill tooltip + get_workspace tool/output wording now state
plainly: read_file/write_file/edit_file/grep/glob/ls are confined to the folder,
but bash/python only start there (cwd) and are not sandboxed. Modal note reuses
the existing .muted class.

* fix(agent): treat an active workspace as file-work intent

A vague low-signal message (e.g. "look at the local project") matches no
domain keywords, so tool retrieval is skipped and only always-available tools
are offered — leaving the agent with no file access even though a workspace is
set. When a workspace is active, include the file/code tools (incl.
get_workspace) on low-signal turns so the agent can act on the folder.

Also requires the tool index (ChromaDB) to be reachable for normal retrieval;
that is an environment dependency, not part of this change.

* ux(workspace): hide pill + overflow entry in chat mode

Workspace only scopes the agent's file/shell tools, so the pill and the
overflow 'Workspace' entry are agent-only now — hidden in chat mode like the
bash toggle. Mode read from the DOM in syncWorkspaceIndicator; applyMode() is
called from the agent/chat setMode handler.

* prompt(tools): steer bash/python to defer to the dedicated file tools

bash/python schema descriptions (what native-tool-calling models read) were
bare and gave no steer, so models would do file ops via the shell (e.g. writing
SVG/HTML, which then dumps raw markup into the tool preview). Tell bash/python
in the schema + tool-index + prompt section to prefer read_file/write_file/
edit_file/grep/glob/ls and only be used for what those do not cover.

* prompt(tools): keep bash/python deferral generic (no hardcoded tool names)

Reference 'a dedicated tool' rather than listing read_file/write_file/grep/etc.
by name, so the guidance does not go stale if those tools are renamed.

* style(workspace): drop em-dashes from added code comments/strings

* ux(workspace): terser non-sandbox note in picker (no tool-name list)

* ux(workspace): mirror terse non-sandbox wording in pill tooltip

* chore: untrack local venv symlink (run-only, not part of the feature)

* prompt(workspace): keep get_workspace text generic (no hardcoded tool names)

* fix(agent): low-signal + workspace surfaces only read-only file tools

Intersect the files tool group with PLAN_MODE_READONLY_TOOLS so a vague message
in a workspace exposes read_file/grep/glob/ls/get_workspace for exploration, but
not write_file/edit_file/bash/python -- those wait for a request that actually
calls for them (RAG retrieval still adds them on a real ask).

* feat(workspace): cap browse listing at 500 dirs with a truncated hint

Mirror the filesystem_tools._CODENAV_MAX_HITS pattern with a module-local
_MAX_BROWSE_DIRS so a directory with thousands of children does not dump every
row into the picker; the response carries a truncated flag and the modal tells
the user to type a path to jump in.

* chore: untrack local venv symlink (run-only artifact)

* fix(workspace): vet the workspace root against the sensitive-path deny list at bind time

The in-workspace resolver deny-lists sensitive paths inside the workspace,
but the empty-path search root is the workspace itself, so a workspace of
~/.ssh could be listed via ls with no path. vet_workspace() (public, in
tool_execution next to the resolvers) rejects non-directories and sensitive
roots before the path is ever bound; chat_routes uses it instead of its
inline isdir check.

* fix(workspace): reject filesystem roots and stop showing rejected workspaces as active

Review findings from #3665:

P2: vet_workspace accepted / (and would accept drive/UNC roots), which makes
every absolute path 'inside' the workspace and collapses confinement into
host-wide file access. A root is its own dirname, so reject when
dirname(resolved) == resolved; the browse response now carries a selectable
flag and the picker disables 'Use this folder' on unselectable dirs.

P3: /workspace set stored any string client-side and the chat route silently
dropped rejected values, so the pill could claim a confinement that was not
in effect. New admin-gated /api/workspace/vet validates manual paths before
they persist (canonical path returned), and when a posted workspace is
rejected at send time the stream emits workspace_rejected so the client
clears the stored value and toasts instead of continuing silently.

* fix(workspace): check caller privilege before vetting the posted workspace

Review finding: /api/chat_stream called vet_workspace() on the posted value
for every caller and emitted workspace_rejected on failure, so a non-admin
who can chat but cannot use file/shell tools could distinguish existing
directories from missing/file/sensitive/root paths by whether the event
appeared. The resolution now lives in _resolve_request_workspace, which
drops the submitted value uniformly for non-admin callers, with no vetting
and no event, before the path ever touches the filesystem. Admin and
single-user behavior is unchanged. Test pins that valid and invalid paths
are indistinguishable for a non-admin and that vet_workspace is never
invoked for them.

Kenny Van de Maele 0aba00f4cf refactor(tools): remove dead workspace-confinement plumbing (#3590)
Commit e6b1009 removed the workspace feature's entry point (deleted
routes/workspace_routes.py + static/js/workspace.js and dropped the
workspace-param parsing in chat_routes), but left the downstream backend
plumbing dangling: chat_routes passed a hardcoded workspace=None into
stream_agent_loop, which forwarded it to execute_tool_block, so the
workspace value was permanently None and every workspace-gated branch
was unreachable.

Remove the now-dead code (no behavior change, since workspace was always
None):
- src/tool_execution.py: drop _resolve_tool_path_in_workspace and the
  workspace params/branches on execute_tool_block, _direct_fallback,
  _call_mcp_tool, _do_edit_file, and _resolve_search_root; restore the
  bash/python/bg cwd to _AGENT_WORKDIR.
- src/agent_loop.py: drop the workspace param on stream_agent_loop, the
  dead 'ACTIVE WORKSPACE' system-prompt block, and the workspace forward.
- routes/chat_routes.py: drop the hardcoded workspace=None arg and var.
- tests: delete test_workspace_confine.py (tested the removed feature) and
  the workspace assertion in test_tool_policy.py.

Full suite: 2903 passed, 1 skipped.

Kenny Van de Maele 2be3779e6e feat: Add workspace: confine agent tools to a folder (#1103)
* feat: Add workspace: confine agent tools to a folder

Pick a server folder as the agent's workspace so its file/shell tools work
there and don't touch files outside it. File tools are hard-confined; bash/
python run with cwd set to the folder.

Includes a slash command: `/workspace` (alias `/ws`) — show / `set <path>` /
`clear` / `pick` (open the directory browser).

- routes/workspace_routes.py: GET /api/workspace/browse (admin-only).
- src/tool_execution.py: hard path confinement for read_file/write_file;
  bash/python cwd. Threaded route → stream_agent_loop → execute_tool_block.
- src/agent_loop.py: workspace note prepended to the system prompt.
- static/: overflow menu item, input-bar pill, directory-browser modal, and
  the /workspace slash command.
- tests/test_workspace_confine.py.

* Wire workspace confinement into tools that landed after this PR

edit_file (#1239) and grep/glob/ls (#1670) merged after workspace-confine was
written, so they bypassed the workspace boundary. Thread the workspace through:
  - edit_file: _do_edit_file resolves via _resolve_tool_path_in_workspace
  - grep/glob/ls: _resolve_search_root confines to the workspace (root + paths)
  - bash/python/bg cwd: workspace or _AGENT_WORKDIR (keep the #2586 data-dir
    default when no workspace is set)
Tests cover edit_file + grep/ls confinement (inside ok, outside rejected).

* Workspace picker: editable path bar + modal style cohesion + cross-platform hardening

- Make the current-folder strip an editable address bar: type/paste a full
  path and press Enter to navigate (also reaches other Windows drives and
  hidden dirs the up-only browser cannot).
- Reuse shared modal CSS: drop bespoke .workspace-modal-content/.workspace-btn*
  in favour of base .modal-content/.modal-body and the .confirm-btn button
  family; separators/hover use var(--border). Net -31 CSS lines.
- Fix the path field overflowing the modal right edge (flex stretch + margin
  vs an overflow:auto scrollbar-feedback loop): full-bleed, no h-margin.
- Cross-platform confinement: normcase the workspace commonpath check so
  containment holds on case-insensitive filesystems (Windows/macOS).
- Make tests OS-portable: sibling temp dirs instead of /etc, python os.getcwd()
  instead of pwd. 5 pass.
