docs(sandbox): record the Windows rung design choice — raw ACL restricted tokens over mxc and AppContainer
Add the implemented Agent Note owning the win32 rung decision: mxc rejected (OS floor 24H2, BaseContainer tier only on 25H2+ with the OS feature enabled, and arbitrary-path reads demand wholesale host DACL writes), AppContainer rejected (no ambient read access — arbitrary-path reads unsupported), landstrip already rejected and AppContainer-shaped. Link the note from the backend README pair and restate the choice in the PR description.

# Agent Note: Windows sandbox rung: raw ACL restricted tokens over mxc and AppContainer
|
||||
|
||||
Status: implemented

||||

|
||||
## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
The [sandbox decision](2026-07-06-sandbox.md) leaves `PLATFORM_CHAINS.win32` empty, so shipped Windows profiles degrade to danger-full-access because no confining executor exists. The win32 rung must confine the two file-effect modes the sandbox vocabulary promises — `read-only` (zero writes) and `workspace-write` (writes under the workspace root plus a backend-defined temp area) — while leaving reads, network, and process visibility alone, because every mode permits reading.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
Implement the rung directly on the raw ACL mechanism: duplicate the caller's token into a `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token (`CreateRestrictedToken` with `WRITE_RESTRICTED` + `DISABLE_MAX_PRIVILEGE` + `LUA_TOKEN`) whose restricting SIDs include a per-instance orphan SID (`S-1-4-x-y`); the orphan SID's Write ACEs on the workspace and temp roots are the entire write allowlist, because `WRITE_RESTRICTED` intersects write accesses only and reads keep the caller's full ambient access. The mechanism is the one huoyaoyuan/windows-acl-restrict-poc (`10e4dfb`) demonstrates; this port checks every API call and fails closed (the POC fail-opened on every ignored return value). It ships as [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-windows-acl`](../../../../packages/sandbox/sandbox-windows-acl/README.md) (backend plus the `./runner` argv-prefix entry), the `win32` chain rung of [`dsh-sandbox-local`](../../../../packages/sandbox/sandbox-local/README.md), and [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-pwsh-sandbox`](../../../../packages/bash/pwsh-sandbox/README.md) as the confining executor; the Windows platform layer re-enables the full permission surface (sandbox/sandbox-policy/permission/approval/fs-sandbox) over the confined pwsh stack.
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
### Why not mxc (Microsoft xContainer)?
|
||||
|
||||
Two disqualifiers. First, the OS floor is too new: the [mxc OS-version policy](https://github.com/microsoft/mxc/blob/main/docs/process-container/os-version-support.md) sets the product floor at Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100), and the BaseContainer tier (T1, `Experimental_CreateProcessInSandbox`) exists only on 25H2+ (build 26600+) with the OS feature enabled — on every supported release at or below 25H2 the filesystem policy falls back to T3, AppContainer plus host-side DACL ACE augmentation. Second, supporting arbitrary-path reads under either tier means granting read access by writing ACLs over every path the child may read: a model that reads the whole workspace and arbitrary files would require wholesale host DACL mutation — a standing side effect and a cost a write-only restriction does not need.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why not AppContainer?
|
||||
|
||||
An AppContainer token carries no ambient read access: every readable path must be pre-granted through capabilities or explicit ACEs, so arbitrary-path reads — the harness's read model — are unsupported without the same wholesale grants. The restricted token needs no read grants at all: it intersects write access only.
|
||||
|
||||
### Why not landstrip?
|
||||
|
||||
The [landstrip evaluation](../../rejected/feature/2026-07-26-evaluate-landstrip-for-windows-sandbox-rung.md) was rejected before implementation (not battle-tested; the in-house launcher plan won), and its Windows backend is AppContainer-shaped, inheriting the same arbitrary-read problem.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
Bought: write-only confinement with no new OS floor (`CreateRestrictedToken` predates the mxc releases by two decades), reads/network/process visibility untouched exactly as the mode vocabulary requires, and fail-closed errors carrying the API name and the exact Win32 code. Cost: no read-side or network isolation; console isolation unavailable (hidden-console children die with `STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED`; children share the host console); standing ACE mutations on the granted roots (caller-owned directories, revoked by `dispose()`); the workspace-write temp grant is the real temp directory — the same backend-defined choice the Landlock rung makes.

## Problem
|
||||
|
||||
[沙盒决策](2026-07-06-sandbox.md)把 `PLATFORM_CHAINS.win32` 留空,交付的 Windows profile 因为没有可用的隔离执行器而退化为 danger-full-access。win32 档必须实现沙盒词汇表承诺的两个文件效果模式——`read-only`(零写入)与 `workspace-write`(仅工作区根目录加后端定义的临时区域可写)——同时保持读、网络与进程可见性不受影响,因为所有模式都允许读取。
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
直接基于原始 ACL 机制实现该档:把调用者令牌复制为 `WRITE_RESTRICTED` 受限令牌(`CreateRestrictedToken`,`WRITE_RESTRICTED` + `DISABLE_MAX_PRIVILEGE` + `LUA_TOKEN`),其 restricting SIDs 中包含每个实例独有的孤儿 SID(`S-1-4-x-y`);工作区与临时目录上孤儿 SID 的 Write ACE 就是全部写入白名单,因为 `WRITE_RESTRICTED` 只对写访问做交集检查,读保持调用者的完整环境访问。该机制来自 huoyaoyuan/windows-acl-restrict-poc(`10e4dfb`)的演示;本移植检查每一个 API 调用并 fail-closed(POC 因忽略返回值而 fail-open)。它以 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-sandbox-windows-acl`](../../../../packages/sandbox/sandbox-windows-acl/README.md)(后端加 `./runner` argv 前缀入口)、[`dsh-sandbox-local`](../../../../packages/sandbox/sandbox-local/README.md) 的 `win32` 链档、以及作为隔离执行器的 [`@deepseek-ai/dsh-pwsh-sandbox`](../../../../packages/bash/pwsh-sandbox/README.md) 交付;Windows 平台层在受限 pwsh 栈之上重新启用完整权限面(sandbox/sandbox-policy/permission/approval/fs-sandbox)。
|
||||
|
||||
## Alternatives considered
|
||||
|
||||
### 为什么不选 mxc(Microsoft xContainer)?
|
||||
|
||||
两个否决理由。其一,OS 版本要求太新:[mxc 的 OS 版本支持文档](https://github.com/microsoft/mxc/blob/main/docs/process-container/os-version-support.md)把产品下限设在 Windows 11 24H2(build 26100),而 BaseContainer 档(T1,`Experimental_CreateProcessInSandbox`)只在 25H2+(build 26600+)且启用 OS feature 时存在——在 25H2 及以下的所有受支持版本上,文件系统策略都会回退到 T3,即 AppContainer 加宿主侧 DACL ACE 改造。其二,在任一档下支持任意路径读都意味着要为子进程可读的每个路径写 ACL 授予读权限:模型要读整个工作区和任意文件,就需要全盘改写宿主 DACL——对只做写限制的需求而言,这是不必要的驻留副作用与代价。
|
||||
|
||||
### 为什么不选 AppContainer?
|
||||
|
||||
AppContainer 令牌没有环境读访问:每个可读路径都必须预先通过 capability 或显式 ACE 授予,因此任意路径读——harness 的读模型——在不做同样的全盘授予时无法支持。受限令牌完全不需要读授予:它只对写访问做交集。
|
||||
|
||||
### 为什么不选 landstrip?
|
||||
|
||||
[landstrip 评估](../../rejected/feature/2026-07-26-evaluate-landstrip-for-windows-sandbox-rung.md)在实现前已被否决(未经实战检验;自建 launcher 方案胜出),且其 Windows 后端是 AppContainer 形态,继承同样的任意路径读问题。
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
所得:仅写隔离、不引入新的 OS 版本下限(`CreateRestrictedToken` 比 mxc 的版本早二十年)、读/网络/进程可见性完全不受影响(与模式词汇表一致)、fail-closed 错误携带 API 名与精确 Win32 错误码。所失:无读侧或网络隔离;控制台隔离不可用(隐藏控制台子进程以 `STATUS_DLL_INIT_FAILED` 死亡;子进程共享宿主控制台);被授权根目录上有驻留 ACE 改动(目录须为调用者所有,由 `dispose()` 回收);workspace-write 的临时授权是真实临时目录——与 Landlock 档相同的后端定义选择。

Mechanism in one line: the caller's token is duplicated into a `WRITE_RESTRICTED` token whose restricting SIDs include an orphan SID (`S-1-4-x-y`) that only this sandbox instance has added to the workspace and temp directories' DACLs. Windows then grants a write only where BOTH the caller's normal access AND the restricting-SID intersection allow it — the orphan SID is the write allowlist, and it grants nothing anywhere else on the system.
|
||||
|
||||
Building directly on the raw ACL mechanism is the recorded design choice: it implements both confinement modes without the problems the rejected container options carry — see the [design note](../../../.agents/notes/implemented/feature/2026-08-08-windows-acl-restricted-token-sandbox.md) ([mxc](https://github.com/microsoft/mxc/blob/main/docs/process-container/os-version-support.md) needs an OS floor of Windows 11 24H2 and wholesale host DACL writes for arbitrary-path reads; AppContainer cannot do arbitrary-path reads at all).

一句话机制:把调用者令牌复制为 `WRITE_RESTRICTED` 受限令牌,其 restricting SIDs 中加入一个孤儿 SID(`S-1-4-x-y`),该 SID 只被本沙盒实例加到工作区与临时目录的 DACL 上。此后 Windows 只在「调用者正常权限」与「restricting SID 交集」同时允许时才放行写入——孤儿 SID 就是写入白名单,而它在系统其余位置不授予任何权限。
