fix(sandbox): align warm cache behavior with network policy

Open

Problem

Warm-cache behavior could drift from intended network isolation and stale mutable state handling.

Changes

Reset mutable state for warm containers between scans
Enforced cache/network-policy consistency checks
Hardened sandbox cache lifecycle behavior

Audit mapping

problems.md: Critical → cache network policy mismatch
problems.md: High → cached sandboxes not reset

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Prevented reuse of cached containers when network settings do not match the requested online or offline mode.
- Improved image reuse by always checking for updates to mutable or untagged image references.
- Reset temporary files and sandbox state before reusing warm environments.
- Prevented cleanup from deleting protected system directories when sandbox paths are misconfigured.
Enhancements
- Expanded runtime monitoring to cover additional filesystem, mount, credential, IPC, and data-transfer activity.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sandbox now validates cached container network modes, pulls images for floating and untagged references, clears mutable state before cached scans, protects unsafe home paths, and traces additional syscalls. Tests cover these policies and scripts.

Changes

Sandbox runtime behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Image reuse policy `internal/sandbox/sandbox.go`, `internal/sandbox/sandbox_test.go`	Image reuse now distinguishes floating, pinned, untagged, and digest-based references. Floating and untagged references are pulled instead of reused locally.
Cached container network validation `internal/sandbox/cache.go`, `internal/sandbox/cache_test.go`	Cache lookup now rejects and removes containers whose live network mode does not match the requested online or offline policy.
Cached scan state reset `internal/sandbox/sandbox.go`, `internal/sandbox/sandbox_test.go`	Cached scans now reset mutable state before honeypot recreation. The reset skips unsafe top-level system directories and `/root`. Tests verify reset paths, home-path protection, and command timeouts.
Expanded syscall tracing `internal/sandbox/sandbox.go`, `internal/sandbox/sandbox_test.go`	`StraceTraceSet` now includes additional filesystem, mount, credential, IPC, and file-transfer syscalls.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to ff508

Warm-container scans now reset mutable state and reject network-policy mismatches, but root-mode reuse can still execute prior login-shell state before cleanup, while cleanup failures do not stop execution. This can carry attacker-controlled state across scans within the sandbox boundary, so the PR is not merge-ready until cleanup is guaranteed before shell startup and failed cleanup invalidates the cache.

Greptile Summary

The PR tightens warm-container isolation by validating cached-container network modes and clearing mutable state between scans. It also broadens syscall tracing and changes mutable image-tag handling.

Rejects cached containers whose live Docker network mode conflicts with the requested policy.
Clears temporary, workspace, home, and common cache state before warm-container reuse.
Treats additional mutable image tags as floating and expands the traced syscall set.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The registry-qualified floating-tag regression should be fixed before merging because it causes the primary :latest sandbox image to bypass the intended pull and reuse stale local content.

The new first-colon parser misclassifies the repository's ghcr.io/...:latest sandbox reference as non-floating, regressing the prior always-pull behavior for a currently used image.

Files Needing Attention: internal/sandbox/sandbox.go, internal/sandbox/sandbox_test.go

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
internal/sandbox/cache.go	Adds live Docker network-mode validation before returning a cached container; no actionable defect identified.
internal/sandbox/cache_test.go	Adds unit coverage for online and offline Docker network-mode classification.
internal/sandbox/sandbox.go	Adds warm-state cleanup, floating-tag classification, and broader syscall tracing, but first-colon tag parsing causes registry-qualified :latest images to be reused locally.
internal/sandbox/sandbox_test.go	Covers reset-script content and simple floating tags but omits the registry-qualified :latest form used by the pipeline.
