Lets a sandbox use this host's own Claude, Codex, OpenCode and GitHub logins instead of values saved in Sandbox settings. Four opt-in switches, all off by default, under Settings, Sandbox, Shared logins.

Shared logins section with the Codex switch on

How it works

Login Delivery
Claude, Codex, OpenCode The host's folder (CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR or ~/.claude, CODEX_HOME or ~/.codex, $XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode) is bind-mounted read-write.
GitHub gh auth token runs on the host at each start and the result is passed as GITHUB_TOKEN.
  • One live file, not a copy. These logins rotate refresh tokens. A copy would fork the lineage, so two holders can log each other out. A shared file behaves like two agents on one machine. I did not test rotation against a real account; this follows the Codex and Claude docs.
  • Known code-execution entries are read-only. settings.json, CLAUDE.md, hooks, plugins, skills, commands, agents, config.toml, hooks.json, AGENTS.md and prompts are overlaid read-only when present. This is a best-effort list, not a boundary: a sandbox agent can still read and change the rest of the folder, including history and, for Claude, the MCP tokens kept beside the login. The switch hint and the docs say so.
  • A shared login suppresses its saved values. Otherwise codex login or codex logout in the sandbox would rewrite the host's auth.json. Without the suppression, a restart overwrote the host file in the test. The saved values the shared login replaces are ignored: the Claude token and Anthropic key, the OpenAI key for OpenCode, the Codex API key and the GitHub token.
  • Provider interface. SandboxSpec gains mounts. The revision includes the enabled logins, so flipping a switch marks running sandboxes as running with older credentials and Restart applies it. A provider that cannot mount rejects the spec.
  • GitHub token redaction. The host's token is in no saved state, so the service tracks it and removes it from failure messages.

Limits

  • Linux hosts only. On macOS Claude keeps its login in the Keychain, so there is nothing to mount.
  • The shared folder must be owned by uid 1000, the user agents run as inside the sandbox, or be world-writable. Otherwise the start fails with the reason instead of failing at the first token refresh.
  • A missing folder, a missing gh, or a gh that is not signed in fails the start with what to fix. --mount is used so Docker never creates a missing folder on the host.
  • A new gh auth login is not detected. Restart the sandbox. Folder paths are fixed when the container is created, so after changing CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR, CODEX_HOME or XDG_DATA_HOME, remove and recreate it. Paths with a comma or quote are refused.
  • Only the CLIs the image ships are covered.

Verification

  • 65 unit tests, biome and typecheck pass. 14 real-Docker tests pass (npm run test:e2e:local); they use a stand-in ~/.codex and a stubbed GitHub token, never real logins.
  • The Docker test checks that the host file is visible in the sandbox, that a write in the sandbox lands on the host, that a protected config file is read-only inside, and that the host's GitHub token reaches GITHUB_TOKEN.
  • Mutation-checked: removing the login suppression fails the test, and so does removing the read-only overlay.
  • Checked the settings screen on an isolated daemon: the switches render and the Codex switch persisted to the plugin state.
  • Not verified: sharing against your real ~/.claude, ~/.codex or gh login, rotation under concurrent refresh, and a macOS host. CI does not run the real-Docker tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added optional switches in credential settings to share host Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and GitHub logins with sandboxes.
    • Shared tool logins take effect when a sandbox starts. Restart a running sandbox to apply changes; tool folders are shared read-write, with selected configuration shared read-only.
    • GitHub sharing uses the host’s current login, refreshed on sandbox restart, instead of a saved GitHub credential.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified that folder sharing requires a Linux host and eligible folders, and that shared folders may expose other contents, including history and Claude MCP tokens. MacOS Claude logins cannot be shared from Keychain.

…gins

Opt-in switches in Sandbox settings. Claude, Codex and OpenCode mount the host's own folder read-write, so one live login file keeps one token lineage, with hooks, skills and settings overlaid read-only. GitHub is read from gh auth token at start. A shared login suppresses the matching saved value so codex login or logout cannot rewrite the host's auth.json.

Walkthrough

Adds optional sharing of Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and GitHub host logins with sandboxes. Settings persist enabled choices. Provisioning applies requested folder mounts or a GitHub token, and enabled host logins contribute to the sandbox environment revision.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to ca2d8

Host login changes can leave a sandbox using stale credentials or mounts without showing that it needs a restart. Resolve that reuse behavior before merging; also correct the ineffective GitHub recovery instruction.

Security architecture risk: High · up to ca2d8

Sharing logins gives sandbox code access to host credentials and writable host configuration. Missing configuration files can still be planted, potentially affecting later host activity, and restarting can retain an older GitHub identity. Sharing is disabled by default and carries trust warnings, but its effects can extend beyond the sandbox.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: With folder sharing enabled, sandbox code can create protected configuration entries that were absent when mounts were resolved. The parent folder is writable, while read-only overlays are emitted only for existing paths. This permits planting host-consumed settings or instructions and potentially influencing later host agent execution. Disabling sharing or removing the container does not undo host-side writes. Existing-file protection and the explicit trust warning limit expectations but do not close this path.
  • Medium · security · inferred: Restarting an existing sandbox does not reliably adopt a changed host GitHub identity or token. Provisioning reads the current token after computing the revision, but the provider reuses an unchanged-revision container without updating its environment. The sandbox can therefore retain the previous account's authority if that token remains valid, or fail with a revoked token, despite the documented restart recovery. Changing the sharing selection forces recreation; changing only the host token does not.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The sharing selection is daemon-wide rather than repository-specific. A compromised sandbox receiving a shared login can exercise that login's authority and modify writable host-folder contents, affecting the host and other sandboxes sharing the same folder. GitHub exposure follows the host token's actual scopes, which may exceed the previously recommended repository-read token. The inspected evidence does not establish cross-tenant exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — The principal new attack path requires folder sharing to be enabled and attacker-controlled code to execute inside that sandbox. Such code can create an absent protected settings or instruction file through the writable parent mount; later host-agent consumption can extend influence outside the container. Separately, changing the host GitHub account and restarting can leave the sandbox using the prior account. These are source-supported architecture concerns, not runtime-verified exploits.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new boundary intentionally trusts sandbox processes with selected host credentials. Controls include default-off selection, enumerated RPC inputs, server-selected paths, rejection of Docker mount delimiters, read-only overlays for existing protected entries, and suppression of matching saved login operations. Test source asserts host-visible writes and rejection of writes to an existing config.toml; it does not establish protection for absent entries.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Container reuse is now also a security-configuration convergence boundary. Newly resolved tokens and protected-entry mount additions can be ignored when the stored revision is unchanged, and listing does not detect those external changes. Sharing a live folder avoids intentional credential copies, but concurrent real-account refresh correctness remains unproven by the inspected tests.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Consider credential-only sharing or a credential broker that preserves refresh coordination without granting creation rights over host execution configuration. Make effective token identity and mount configuration participate in reconciliation without exposing raw secrets. Add lifecycle checks for host account changes, absent protected entries, concurrent refresh, and disabling sharing after host-folder mutations.

Correct clone-failure guidance for shared GitHub logins.

If a shared GitHub token cannot access a private repository, this message tells the user to save a token. The shared token replaces the saved token on the next start, so that action cannot fix the failure. Tell the user to check the host’s GitHub access or disable sharing before using a saved token.

- Line 125: Update the sandbox warning text in the credentials section to
clarify that read-only overlays for hooks, skills, and settings are best-effort
and apply only to entries protected by hostLoginMounts; state that other files
in the shared folder remain writable.

Review comments at @sandbox/server/docker/provider.ts:
- Around line 108-111: Validate each host path in hostLoginMounts before
constructing Docker mount arguments, rejecting paths containing a comma or
double quote with an error that identifies the corresponding environment
variable. Keep the existing mount construction unchanged for valid paths.

Review comments at @sandbox/server/provider.ts:
- Line 22: Update the revision calculation used by provision and list so both
derive the revision from the resolved mounts and GitHub token. Calculate it
after resolving those values during provisioning, and use the same calculation
when comparing item.revision in list so staleness checks match the provisioned
state.

Review comments at @sandbox/shared/credentials.ts:
- Line 30: Update the Claude and OpenCode presets to link their credential
entries to the corresponding host logins, then make sandboxEnvironment omit
linked environment variables when that login is shared. If saved credentials are
intentionally allowed to override shared logins, state that behavior in the
Claude and OpenCode HOST_LOGINS hints.

Review comments at @sandbox/tests/integration/service.local.e2e.test.ts:
- Line 49: Update the hostCodex fixture setup after mkdir(hostCodex) to make the
stand-in directory world-writable, so hostLoginMounts accepts it when the test
process uid is not 1000.
