P2: The project benchmark executes mutable upstream branch contents without pinning or integrity verification
The benchmark downloads and executes mutable upstream main/master archives without a commit pin or checksum.
Pin immutable commits, verify checksums, and isolate benchmark jobs from host and runner credentials.

On a Linux host where /dev/kvm and aenv exist but no networking overrides are configured, this selects AgentENV automatically, while cmd_engine still defaults both the listener and PRELOOP_RUNNER_URL to 127.0.0.1 (lines 1671-1702) and local_runner_pool_config disables the socket transport for AgentENV (lines 2069-2077). That loopback address refers to the guest itself, so the runner cannot register and ordinary default runs eventually fail in the queue; automatic selection should require a guest-reachable control endpoint or configure one before choosing AgentENV.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When an AgentENV resume fails here, ? returns after the heartbeat task has already been spawned; dropping a Tokio JoinHandle detaches rather than cancels that task. It therefore keeps rewriting ACTIVE indefinitely, causing the engine to treat a nonexistent controller as attached and preventing the failed debug VM/session from suspending or reaching its idle cleanup deadline. Abort the task and demote/remove the marker on this error path, or give DebugAttach a cancellation-safe drop guard.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
If aenv start succeeds but await_guest, prepare_guest_dirs, or volume materialization fails, the sandbox ID is not written into the registry because this update occurs only afterward. The orchestrator's provisioning-error cleanup calls delete(name), which then sees a record with sandbox: None, removes it, and can no longer delete the live AgentENV sandbox; repeated provisioning failures can consequently leak hour-long VMs and exhaust host capacity. Record the ID immediately after start_sandbox and clear it only after successfully deleting the sandbox.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When startup cannot import the packed SmolVM golden, RunnerPool::run calls golden_registry.disable_packed() specifically so slots fall back to direct per-runner creation (lines 2610-2617). This function previously applied that state to its local config, but now ignores it and proceeds through config.use_fork, causing size-zero/on-demand pools to attempt another environment-golden bake instead of the established fallback; failures such as disk-heavy golden creation can therefore keep queued jobs from ever reaching direct provisioning. Restore the same is_packed_disabled() handling retained by run_slot at lines 3672-3676.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
In an interactive SmolVM invocation, preloop run --preserve-on-failure still satisfies implicit_smolvm_debug, so debug_on_failure becomes true and the worker opens a live verdict session instead of completing and entering the requested post-mortem shell hold. This contradicts the new flag contract that --preserve-on-failure, unlike --debug, does not block the worker; exclude an explicit preserve request from the implicit-debug condition so users do not need the hidden --no-debug workaround.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
When PRELOOP_RUNNER_DNS populates MachineSpec::dns, the AgentENV image path passes the spec to start_sandbox, but that function uses only CPU, memory, and storage and silently drops the resolver setting. On hosts whose default resolver is unreachable from the sandbox—the exact environment this option supports—jobs continue to fail DNS resolution despite the documented override. Either configure the resolver for AgentENV or reject/branch on this unsupported capability rather than accepting the spec unchanged.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
A single nonzero aenv timeout result or transient process-launch error permanently exits this machine's keepalive task. If the sandbox still exists and a CI job runs beyond the remaining TTL, AgentENV deletes the VM mid-job even though the provider promises to renew every running sandbox; distinguish an absent sandbox from transient API/CLI failures and retry the latter with backoff.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This cancels the TTL keepalive before knowing whether aenv pause succeeded, and an error later returns without restarting it. During a preserved or live debug session, a transient pause failure therefore leaves the sandbox running but unrenewed; with a short configured TTL it can disappear while the session remains open, stranding the controller despite the caller explicitly handling the error as “leaving it running.” Cancel only after a successful/already-paused result, or restore the keepalive on failure.

The --export branch returns through export_from_guest before DebugAttach::claim is reached (lines 209-214), while this newly backend-neutral command directly executes in the guest. On AgentENV, an unattached session is suspended after 15 seconds, so a later preloop debug --export cannot reach the sandbox; even an early export can be suspended while the patch is being produced. Wrap the export operation in the same attach guard used by the REPL and verdict paths so it resumes and protects the VM for the full transfer.

This unconditionally exports RUSTUP_HOME=/usr/local/rustup for every runner, including custom base images that deliberately skip Preloop's curated toolchain bake. A custom image with a normal rustup installation under /root/.rustup or /home/runner/.rustup still finds its cargo proxy through the user-local PATH, but that proxy is redirected to the usually absent /usr/local/rustup tree and reports that no toolchain is installed. Set this override only when Preloop actually baked the shared toolchain, otherwise preserve the image's own rustup configuration.

Support host addresses outside 192.168.0.0/16.
address_exclude() raises ValueError when HOSTIP is in a different network, such as 10.0.0.0/8. The documented generic <host-ip> invocation then cannot configure AgentENV on that host.
Select the existing denied CIDR that contains HOSTIP, or reject unsupported ranges before modifying the configuration.

Reject incomplete benchmark repetitions.
These guest commands can fail, but the script continues because it does not check their statuses. A workload pipeline can also append several samples before it fails. The output then contains an unmarked partial repetition, which biases medians and sample counts.
Write each repetition to a temporary file. Append it to OUT only after preparation and the complete workload succeed.

Re-materialize volumes when start replaces a vanished sandbox.
start reads record once at Line 842. If the recorded sandbox is absent from live_sandboxes (the None arm at Line 869), the code falls through and starts a new sandbox, but record.volumes_materialized still holds true from the earlier successful start. The guard at Line 886 then skips materialize_volumes, so the replacement guest boots without the runner bundle or the Node externals, and Line 893 records the stale true again.
status resets the flag, but start cannot rely on a preceding status call: the vanished-sandbox branch inside start is exactly the path that detects the loss on its own.

--preserve-on-failure alone still opens a blocking debug session on SmolVM in a terminal.
implicit_smolvm_debug checks !args.no_debug, !args.detach, and TTY status, but not !args.preserve_on_failure. A user who runs preloop run --preserve-on-failure on an interactive SmolVM session (no --debug, no --no-debug) gets implicit_smolvm_debug = true, so debug_on_failure becomes true even though the user asked only for --preserve-on-failure. This contradicts preserve_on_failure's own doc comment — "Unlike --debug, this does not block the worker waiting for a verdict" — and the PR's stated contract that --preserve-on-failure "only retains the VM."

Restore the packed-disabled fallback in run_on_demand_slot.
run_slot (unchanged, lines 3699-3703) resets config.use_packed_artifact and config.use_fork to false when golden_registry.is_packed_disabled() is true. run_on_demand_slot still does not perform this normalization. When startup packed-golden preparation fails and disable_packed() is called before run_on_demand starts, every on-demand slot still takes the use_fork branch and builds a brand-new environment golden via prepare_golden_for_env instead of falling back to direct per-runner creation — wasted work, and a repeat of the same failure if its root cause (e.g. disk pressure) also affects the environment golden build.

Python's HTTP server serves files below that directory to any reachable host, and the script does not create an empty document root, restrict binding to the intended interface, or apply authentication.

<evidence>The added job changes `runs-on` from `ubuntu-latest` to `self-hosted` and executes `python3 benchmarks/real-world/runner-conformance.py` from the checkout. The checkout no longer sets `persist-credentials: false`, so actions/checkout defaults to writing the GITHUB_TOKEN into the working tree. The job is restricted against fork pull requests, but same-repository branches and pushes can still execute repository-controlled code on the persistent self-hosted environment.</evidence>
<recommendation>Keep this job on GitHub-hosted runners unless self-hosting is required. If self-hosting is required, use an isolated ephemeral runner group with no shared credentials or sensitive host access, set `persist-credentials: false`, define least-privilege `permissions: {}`/job permissions, and ensure repository settings prevent untrusted branches from targeting the runner.</recommendation>

Review feedbackI did a deeper architecture/source review of the AgentENV backend. I like the direction and especially the move toward a provider abstraction, but I don't think AgentENV should become a production-default backend until a few lifecycle/capability issues are tightened up:
None of this changes my view that the backend is worth continuing. I would keep it opt-in, fix the lifecycle/policy issues above, and evolve the interface toward a standalone sandbox contract that can eventually serve CI, code review, debugging, and fuzzing without GitHub Actions semantics leaking into the VM layer. |

Addresses the bot review findings that verified against current code. SmolVM is the default everywhere again; AgentENV is strictly opt-in via PRELOOP_VM_BACKEND. Auto-selection is gone along with the PATH probe it needed. Debug attach: claim() resumes the guest before writing ACTIVE or spawning the heartbeat, so a failed resume can no longer strand a ghost heartbeat; `preloop debug --export` holds the same attach guard as verdict, REPL, and shell instead of reaching suspended sandboxes unguarded. Provider lifecycle: start() records the sandbox id before readiness probes run so provisioning-error cleanup can actually delete the VM (with an ensure_volumes helper that also closes the resume path skipping unmaterialized volumes); fork() rejects duplicate clone names instead of orphaning; stop() cancels the TTL keepalive only on success; the keepalive retries transient failures before giving up; Restricted/DNS/zero-storage specs are rejected at create time instead of silently substituted. Pool: on-demand slots apply the packed-disabled fallback like warm slots, and a loopback PRELOOP_RUNNER_URL with the AgentENV backend fails pool startup with the fix (loopback is the guest itself there). The engine manages its own egress exception (crates/preloop-cli/src/ aenv_egress.rs): with the AgentENV backend selected, pool startup reconciles the surgical node deny-list complement and the ordered host firewall rules from the runner URL — verify first, mutate only on drift, restart `aenv` only on config change. Narrow sudoers scope, dry-run and opt-out modes, ENGINE_IP/CONFIG overrides, and unit-tested complement math; operator docs in docs/vm-substrates.md. Also corrects a sudoless-base test to assert the best-effort chown the wrapper actually emits (the /var/lib path it named exists nowhere in the codebase — flagged as a follow-up, not silently "fixed").

Preloop previously used SmolVM for every job; it now supports AgentENV as an opt-in Linux/KVM backend while keeping SmolVM as the default everywhere. AgentENV can run real jobs through snapshot-backed Firecracker sandboxes, but requires
