A plain checkout keeps .git inside the workspace, which the sandbox already makes writable, so git works. Three common layouts put it elsewhere and every git command then fails inside the sandbox with "not a git repository", because the target is simply not in the namespace: * repo checkouts symlink .git into .repo/projects/<name>.git * git worktrees replace .git with a file naming the real directory * submodules do the same, pointing into the superproject repo needs two levels: the per-checkout git directory symlinks objects, hooks and rr-cache into a shared .repo/project-objects tree, so binding only the first target still leaves git without its object store. workspace_git_paths resolves all three layouts, follows symlinked entries inside the git directory, and honours commondir for worktrees. It returns nothing for a plain checkout, so the namespace is unchanged for the common case. bubblewrap_command binds whatever it returns. The paths are writable rather than read-only, for parity with a plain checkout where .git sits in the writable workspace and git commit works. Read-only access would leave repo checkouts with a git that can inspect but not commit. A .git pointer is workspace-controlled input, so every resolved path is confined to trusted_git_metadata_roots first: an ancestor's own .git (where a worktree or submodule points) or .repo (a repo client). A pointer that escapes them -- naming $HOME, /etc, or an unrelated checkout -- is ignored entirely, so this can only ever widen the sandbox to an ancestor's git metadata, never to an arbitrary directory the checkout names. A regression test drives a .git file and a .git symlink at an external canary directory and asserts it stays out. Scope stays tight: only the git directory for this workspace is exposed, not the tree containing it. Verified on a repo checkout -- git log and git status work, while listing .repo/projects inside the sandbox shows only the current project, and HOME, the SSH private key, every credential file and the other checkouts on the machine remain absent.

The TUI sandbox setting sounds useful, especially together with the missing-bwrap startup flow. Would you prefer tracking both in a follow-up issue/PR? My thought is to keep this PR focused on external Git metadata, then separately define:
I would be happy to open an issue and work on it after we agree on the expected behavior. |

Opened #24 as the separate follow-up PR for the TUI sandbox setting discussed here and in #14. It keeps the sandbox enabled by default, requires an explicit second confirmation before disabling it, persists the choice, and applies it consistently to both |

Some problems: 1. Trusted root is too broadTake this submodule layout for example: 🟢 = Git metadata that actually belongs to this workspace and needs to be accessible. 🔴 = Git metadata outside this workspace's scope, but still covered by the trusted root created by the PR.
fn trusted_git_metadata_roots(workspace: &Path) -> BTreeSet<PathBuf> {
let mut roots = BTreeSet::new();
// Strict ancestors only: the workspace's own `.git` is the pointer being
// validated, so canonicalising it here would let a `.git` symlink nominate
// its own target as trusted.
for ancestor in workspace.ancestors().skip(1) {
insert_existing(&mut roots, ancestor.join(".git"));
insert_existing(&mut roots, ancestor.join(".repo"));
}

@Xeift Thanks for pointing these out. Both concerns are valid. The previous implementation did not bind every trusted root automatically, but a workspace-controlled Fixed in f452f8f:

Problem
A plain checkout keeps
.gitinside the workspace, which the sandbox already makes writable, so gitworks. Three common layouts put it elsewhere, and every git command then fails inside the sandbox:
repocheckouts symlink.gitinto.repo/projects/<name>.git.gitwith a file naming the real directoryReading and writing files still works, so the failure is confined to git — but for a coding agent
that means no
log,status,diff,blameorcommiton any such checkout.This is orthogonal to #14's switch to bubblewrap: the sandbox allowlist has never granted anything
outside the workspace, so the metadata is simply absent from the namespace regardless of backend.
reponeeds two levels of resolution. The per-checkout git directory symlinksobjects,hooksand
rr-cacheinto a shared.repo/project-objectstree, so binding only the first target stillleaves git without its object store:
Change
workspace_git_pathsresolves all three layouts, follows symlinked entries inside the gitdirectory, and honours
commondirfor worktrees. It returns nothing for a plain checkout, so thenamespace is unchanged in the common case.
bubblewrap_commandbinds whatever it returns.The paths are writable rather than read-only, for parity with a plain checkout where
.gitsits inthe writable workspace and
git commitworks. Read-only access would leaverepocheckouts with agit that can inspect but not commit, which seemed a worse place to stop.
Constraining what a
.gitpointer can nameA
.gitfile or symlink is workspace-controlled input, so every resolved path is confined totrusted_git_metadata_rootsbefore it is bound: a strict ancestor's own.git(where aworktree or submodule points) or
.repo(arepoclient). A pointer that escapes them — naming$HOME,/etc, or an unrelated checkout — is dropped, and if the git directory itself does notland in a trusted root nothing is returned at all. Strict ancestors only, so a
.gitsymlinkcannot nominate its own target as trusted.
Verification
On a
repocheckout (kernel 4.18):git log --oneline -3andgit status --shortreturn correct outputls .repo/projectsinside the sandbox shows only the current project, not the others in thesame tree
HOME, the SSH private key, every credential file, and the machine's other checkouts remainabsent from the namespace
On a plain checkout,
workspace_git_pathsreturns an empty set and nothing about the sandboxchanges.
Regression tests drive a
.gitfile and a.gitsymlink at an external canary directory andassert it stays out of the result, alongside the plain-checkout and ancestor-submodule cases.
