## Context
Currently, all tool instances bind-mount the host repository path via `{{REPO_PATH}}` substitution in compose templates. The repository model (`GitRepository`) has no SSH key association. The instance model (`ToolInstance`) has no concept of repository access mode.
Users want two modes:
1. **Mount** (current): Live sync with working copy on host
2. **Clone** (new): Fresh isolated copy with full git history inside the container
The SSH key system already exists with encrypted private keys in the database. Keys can be project-scoped or user-scoped.
## Goals / Non-Goals
**Goals:**
- Allow per-instance choice between mount and clone mode
- Support branch selection for clone mode (default: main)
- Enable git operations inside containers via SSH key mounting
- Protect against accidental data loss with dirty check on clone deletion
- Allow SSH key assignment at repository creation and later modification
**Non-Goals:**
- Modifying existing tool type compose templates
- Installing git in containers (assumes tool images have git or install it)
- Multiple SSH keys per container
- Automatic push/pull/sync between host and container
- Shallow clones (full history only)
## Decisions
### 1. Host-Side Clone (not in-container)
**Decision**: Clone happens on the host before container start, not inside the container.
**Rationale**:
- No changes to compose templates required
- Works with all existing tool types immediately
- No need for git/SSH inside every container image
- Host has direct filesystem access to the clone
- Easier error handling and rollback
**Alternative considered**: In-container clone via command override. Rejected because it requires git in every image, SSH auth setup inside containers, and makes error handling fragile.
### 2. SSH Key Mounting via `_modify_compose_file`
**Decision**: Inject SSH key volume dynamically at container start time using the existing `_modify_compose_file` helper.
**Rationale**:
- Zero changes to tool type definitions
- Consistent with how other runtime overrides work (port, command, working_dir, extra_volumes)
- Mounts the `.ssh/` directory with key + config into container
**Implementation**:
```
instance_dir/.ssh/
id_ed25519 (decrypted private key, mode 600)
id_ed25519.pub (public key)
config (StrictHostKeyChecking no)
```
Mounted as: `instance_dir/.ssh:/root/.ssh:ro` (or appropriate home dir)
### 3. Single SSH Key per Repository
**Decision**: The SSH key is stored on `GitRepository` and used for both clone and container access.
**Rationale**:
- Natural association: a repository's clone URL determines which SSH key is needed
- Simpler UX: one key per repo, not per session
- Session creation can override (future enhancement) but defaults to repo key
### 4. Dirty Check via `git status --short`
**Decision**: Check for uncommitted changes using `git status --short` before allowing deletion of clone-mode instances.
**Rationale**:
- Simple and reliable
- Catches staged, unstaged, and untracked files
- Fast (local filesystem operation)
## Risks / Trade-offs
**[Risk] Disk space usage** → Each clone-mode instance duplicates the full repository. Mitigation: Instance deletion removes the clone directory.
**[Risk] Clone time for large repos** → Synchronous clone during instance creation may timeout. Mitigation: No timeout on clone operation; consider async clone in future.
**[Risk] SSH key permissions in containers** → Some containers run as non-root users. The `.ssh` directory mount needs correct ownership. Mitigation: Mount as read-only; container's entrypoint may need to copy to writable location if needed.
**[Risk] Git not installed in custom tool images** → User-defined tool types may not have git. Mitigation: Document requirement; built-in types already have or install git.
**[Risk] SSH host key checking** → Cloning from new hosts may fail. Mitigation: SSH config sets `StrictHostKeyChecking no` for clone operations.
## Migration Plan
1. Run Alembic migrations to add new columns
2. Existing instances default to `clone_mode='mount'` (no behavior change)
3. Existing repositories have `ssh_key_id=null` (no behavior change until assigned)
4. No data migration needed
## Open Questions
- Should the `.ssh` mount be read-only or writable? (Writable needed if container generates new keys, but we don't support that)
- Should we support submodules in cloned repos?

## Why
Currently all tool instances bind-mount the host repository directory, giving containers live access to the working copy. Users need the ability to launch instances with an isolated fresh clone instead — useful for experimentation, clean-room development, or running tools that modify files without affecting the host copy. Additionally, containers need SSH key access to perform git operations (push/pull) inside the clone.
## What Changes
- **Repository-level SSH key assignment**: Each `GitRepository` can be associated with an SSH key (used for cloning and container git access). Configurable at creation time and editable later.
- **Clone mode for tool instances**: When creating a tool instance, users can choose between:
- **Mount** (default): Bind-mount the host repository directory (current behavior)
- **Clone**: Clone the repository into the instance directory with full history
- **Branch selection**: When clone mode is selected, users can specify a branch (defaults to `main`).
- **SSH key mounting**: The repository's SSH key is decrypted and mounted into the container's `~/.ssh/` directory, enabling git operations inside the container.
- **Dirty check on delete**: When deleting a clone-mode instance, check for uncommitted changes in the cloned repository. If changes exist, warn the user and require confirmation before deletion.
- **Frontend UI updates**: Sessions page gets a repository access mode selector (mount/clone), branch input, and SSH key selector when clone is chosen.
- **Backend API updates**: `POST /instances` accepts `clone_mode` and `branch`; new endpoint for updating repository SSH key.
- **Database migrations**: Add `ssh_key_id` to `git_repositories`, `clone_mode` and `branch` to `tool_instances`.
## Capabilities
### New Capabilities
- `repo-clone-mode`: Repository clone mode with host-side cloning, branch selection, and SSH key mounting for container git access.
### Modified Capabilities
- `git-repo`: Add `ssh_key_id` field and API for associating SSH keys with repositories.
- `tool-instances`: Extend instance creation to support `clone_mode` and `branch`, mount SSH keys at startup, and perform dirty check on deletion.
## Impact
- **Database**: Migrations for `git_repositories.ssh_key_id`, `tool_instances.clone_mode`, `tool_instances.branch`
- **Backend API**: `POST /instances` schema change, new `PATCH /repositories/{id}/ssh-key` endpoint, instance delete logic update
- **Frontend**: SessionsPage form additions, confirmation modal for dirty delete
- **Docker**: Dynamic SSH key volume injection via `_modify_compose_file`
- **Tool types**: Built-in tool images assumed to have git installed (code-server, jupyter do; opencode template already installs git)
