- Log REPO_PATH, SSH_PATH, EXTRA_VOLUMES, manifest mounts, and resolved
volumes in compile_compose() to trace why mounts may be missing
- Log repo_path and generated compose content in _prepare_manifest_instance()
to verify the full compose YAML at start time
Bug 1 — in-container repo mounting:
- docker-compose.yml: added /data/working-copies:/data/working-copies mount
to API container so workspace dirs are visible on host filesystem
- Dockerfile: create /data/working-copies dir in image
Bug 2 — /home/user not writable:
- workspace_manager.py: chmod 777 workspace dirs + 666 files after clone
and after sync, so any container user can write
- manifest_compiler.py: explicit mkdir + chown + chmod 755 for home dir
in generated Dockerfile
Bug 3 — terminal text shifts left on typing:
- terminal.tsx: removed manual term.refresh() after fit (caused reflow)
- Track lastSentCols/lastSentRows and only send resize when dimensions
actually changed, preventing resize feedback loops
Bug 4 — ESC key captured by terminal:
- terminal.tsx: attachCustomKeyEventHandler allows ESC to propagate to
browser when not in alternate buffer (vim/tmux), so modals/navigation
work; ESC still sent to PTY when in vim/tmux alternate screen
Quality gates: ruff clean, tsc --noEmit clean, pytest workspaces (9 passed)
- Add expand_container_path() helper that resolves ~/ and $HOME/ prefixes
- Add get_manifest_home_dir() to compute /home/{user.name} or /root from manifest
- Set ENV HOME=... and ENV USER=... in generated Dockerfile for runtime compatibility
- Pass home_dir through instance creation and startup pipeline
- Expand mount targets in apply_resolved_profile() for regular profile mounts
- Expand mapping targets in _resolve_git_mount_mappings() for git mounts
- Expand working_directory and volume targets in _modify_compose_file()
- Update _prepare_manifest_instance to return home_dir alongside image tag
- Fetch tool_type early in start_instance to determine home_dir before profile application

The compile_dockerfile function used \\\\ in Python string literals,
which produces \ (two backslashes) in the Dockerfile output. Docker's
legacy builder requires a single backslash \ for line continuation.
This caused 'unknown instruction: curl' because Docker saw the first as the continuation and the second \ as a literal character before the
newline, breaking the RUN command parsing.
Fix: change all \\ to \ in Python string literals within
compile_dockerfile, producing the correct single-backslash continuation.
Verified with hex dump from container logs:
- Before: line ended with 5c5c (two backslashes)
- After: line ends with 5c (one backslash)
The terminal_sessions migration and drop_tool_configs migration both pointed
to add_tool_definition_manifests as their down_revision, creating two heads.
Update drop migration to depend on terminal_sessions instead, restoring a
single linear chain.
- Add ToolDefinitionManifest model with base image versioning
- Add manifest compiler: Dockerfile + Compose generation from JSON manifests
- Add permission fixer: post-start chown/chmod for mount policies
- Add tool definition CRUD API with live compile preview endpoint
- Integrate manifest-based startup flow in start_instance
- Add Alembic migration with data conversion for pi-agent
- Add 48 unit tests for manifest compiler, permission fixer, docker service
- Keep backward compatibility with legacy dockerfile_template/compose_template
Migration: applied successfully. Pi-agent converted to manifest.
Quality gates: pytest (146 passed, 4 pre-existing unrelated failures)
