Review 4727756972 (A2): the backout no longer trusts gpasswd — it re-reads the live group database after removal; verified-absent gets the safe message, anything else screams ROLLBACK INCOMPLETE, exits nonzero, and names the exact remediation. The concurrent-login window (a session begun between usermod and backout keeps the group) is CLOSED to the extent the database can't reach: the backout detects live processes and names loginctl terminate-user, and the success wording claims only what was verified. Review 4727641752 (A1): a failed grant for a user whose membership predates the run (the hand-added-user scenario) now fails LOUDLY — they retain socket access on part-converged policy, and the message says so with both remediations (box revoke now, or fix and re-run). Their membership is not stripped: breaking a working user over a failed re-grant is its own hazard. The default-profile eth0 removal is deliberately not restored on failure — that mutation only reduces capability, and restoring it would move the failure state AWAY from fail-closed. Injected-failure coverage is criterion (n), both flavors: fresh-user backout (fault at the LAST mutation, so the rollback runs after every earlier one) with the group's absence verified and a converging re-run; blocked narrowing staged for real with an instance-local NIC parked on the private bridge. Review A3, resolution 3 with the measurement demanded: criterion (m) launches exactly 'incus launch --network boxnet' as the restricted user and probes the raw NIC from inside — egress works, RFC1918 dropped (the ACL is the network's), sibling probes dropped BOTH directions (the nft drop is the host's), name enumeration blocked. The scoped guarantee is now stated in box-design.md and measured on every run: box-minted instances carry per-NIC port_isolation; raw attachments keep every network- and host-owned control, losing only that redundant L2 layer. Instrument lesson kept as MU-5: the probe's first cut minted the non-cloud image — no DHCP client, no lease, and a dead NIC passes every negative probe vacuously; it now requires the lease before believing its own answers. Rehearsal: 54/54 (containers). test/cli.sh: 82 checks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |
