The nft bridge-family rule from the previous commit is LIVE on the host
and boxes still reach each other:
table bridge claudebox {
chain forward { ... meta ibrname "claudenet" meta obrname "claudenet" drop }
}
FAIL BOX A REACHES BOX B — sibling isolation does NOT hold [tcp: refused]
So the rule is not wrong about intent, it is wrong about mechanism —
whatever path these frames take, that hook does not stop them. Rather
than reason harder about netfilter (reasoning is what put the hole there
in the first place), use the mechanism Incus provides for exactly this:
security.port_isolation on the bridged NIC, which sets the kernel bridge
port's isolated flag so two isolated ports cannot exchange frames at all.
The nft rule stays as a second layer — it costs nothing — but the
profile flag is what carries the guarantee. doctor.sh checks it, because
the absence of this one is invisible: everything works and boxes can
simply reach each other.

A CLI that mints trust-less, network-isolated Incus VMs with Claude Code
installed. Boxes are strictly creds-free — the operator logs into Claude
interactively inside; authenticated state is reused via snapshots. The tool
knows nothing about projects; a repo ships an optional agent-facing .claudebox/
runbook that Claude reads.
- bin/claudebox: new/shell/exec/snapshot/restore/down/start/rm/status; creds-free
'new' (fresh launch or clone via --from <src>[/<snap>]).
- cloud-init: global ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md self-describing the box + .claudebox/ runbook.
- install.sh: curl-pipe-bash installer.
- host/: Incus isolation stack (claudenet + claude-isolate ACL + claude-dev
profile + firewall).
- docs/: design + .claudebox/ convention.
Initial canonical import (prototyped separately; re-homed onto the heavy-duty fork).
