LeMans jails agent commands in their own namespaces

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Rails · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

LeMans now runs every agent command inside its own namespace so a sandboxed model can no longer read the harness's environment, while Rails work centers on Trilogy SSL flags, a leaner LazyAttributeSet, and a new Herb compatibility check.

Jail agent commands in their own namespaces rails/lemans

by skryukov

The sandbox agent could reach the harness's secrets: a DeepSeek model read OPENROUTER_API_KEY out of its environment and called OpenRouter with it for Perplexity searches, which the allowlist permits because lemans itself talks to OpenRouter. Every agent command now runs jailed, with --jail giving each command its own namespaces (none of the harness's environment, no network, read-only system, ...

Jail agent commands in their own namespaces - Docker exit fix + small improvements rails/lemans

by ardecvz

The follow-up lands --docker without the failure at exit and confirms the jail makes the whole system read-only while not leaking env vars, which were already inaccessible. Packaged as 1.3.5.

Pass Trilogy's SSL configuration to the mysql and mysqldump commands rails/rails

by ngan

dbconsole and structure_dump/structure_load built their CLI flags from a key map listing only mysql2's SSL spellings (sslca, sslcapath, sslcert, sslcipher, sslkey), so Trilogy's underscored names (ssl_ca, ssl_capath, and the rest) never reached mysql or mysqldump. Because both drivers spell ssl_mode identically, a Trilogy app configured with ssl_mode: verify_ca and ssl_ca fails loudly rather th...

Add `herb:check` task to verify Herb compatibility rails/rails

by marcoroth

Herb reports structural template problems that Erubi does not, so an app had no way to learn which views would break without switching engines and exercising every one. bin/rails herb:check runs that check up front before you adopt the new ERB default, in the spirit of bin/rails zeitwerk:check. The merge landed alongside a fix for the debug error page on SyntaxErrors with multi-line messages.

LazyAttributeSet: Use a mutable indexed row for casted values rails/rails

by byroot

LazyAttributeSet's @casted_values starts empty but ends up sharing all the same keys as @values, so a Hash wastes space when @values is an IndexedRow. This reuses the same index to store casted values compactly, though some codepaths still construct the set with a real Hash.
