fix(worker): replace script -qfc with pty-process for injection-safe PTY (#1678)

- Add pty-process crate (MIT, tokio async support) for PTY allocation
- Spawn claude CLI with pty-process::Command::arg() chaining instead of
  building a shell string for script -qfc
- Eliminates all shell injection surfaces: prompt, model, session_id
  are passed via execve, never interpreted by a shell
- Keep stderr on separate pipe to prevent NDJSON parse breakage
  (pty-process attaches PTY to all fds by default)
- Gate PTY behind #[cfg(unix)] with direct-spawn fallback for Windows CI
- Read stdout from PTY master (implements tokio::io::AsyncRead)
- Add regression tests: arg vector construction + PTY allocation

Addresses review feedback from zmanian and gemini-code-assist.

 # Agent Rules
 
-## Feature Parity Update Policy
+## Purpose and Precedence
 
+- `AGENTS.md` is the quick-start contract for coding agents. It is not the full architecture spec.
+- Read the relevant subsystem spec before changing a complex area. When a repo spec exists, treat it as authoritative.
+Start with these deeper docs as needed:
+- `CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/agent/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/channels/web/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/db/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/llm/CLAUDE.md`
+- `src/setup/README.md`
+- `src/tools/README.md`
+- `src/workspace/README.md`
+- `src/NETWORK_SECURITY.md`
+- `tests/e2e/CLAUDE.md`
+
+## Architecture Mental Model
+
+- Channels normalize external input into `IncomingMessage`; `ChannelManager` merges all active channel streams.
+- `Agent` owns session/thread/turn handling, submission parsing, the LLM/tool loop, approvals, routines, and background runtime behavior.
+- `AppBuilder` is the composition root that wires database, secrets, LLMs, tools, workspace, extensions, skills, hooks, and cost controls before the agent starts.
+- The web gateway is a browser-facing API/UI layered on top of the same agent/session/tool systems, not a separate product path.
+
+## Where to Work
+
+- Agent/runtime behavior: `src/agent/`
+- Web gateway/API/SSE/WebSocket: `src/channels/web/`
+- Persistence and DB abstractions: `src/db/`
+- Setup/onboarding/configuration flow: `src/setup/`
+- LLM providers and routing: `src/llm/`
+- Workspace, memory, embeddings, search: `src/workspace/`
+- Extensions, tools, channels, MCP, WASM: `src/extensions/`, `src/tools/`, `src/channels/`
+
+## Ownership and Composition Rules
+
+- Keep `src/main.rs` and `src/app.rs` orchestration-focused. Do not move module-owned logic into entrypoints.
+- Module-specific initialization should live in the owning module behind a public factory/helper, not be reimplemented ad hoc.
+- Keep feature-flag branching inside the module that owns the abstraction whenever possible.
+- Prefer extending existing traits and registries over hardcoding one-off integration paths.
+
+## Repo-Wide Coding Rules
+
+- Avoid `.unwrap()` and `.expect()` in production; prefer proper error handling. They are fine in tests, and in production only for truly infallible invariants (e.g., literals/regexes) with a safety comment.
+- Keep clippy clean with zero warnings.
+- Prefer `crate::` imports for cross-module references.
+- Use strong types and enums over stringly-typed control flow when the shape is known.
+
+## Database, Setup, and Config Rules
+
+- New persistence behavior must support both PostgreSQL and libSQL.
+- Add new DB operations to the shared DB trait first, then implement both backends.
+- Treat bootstrap config, DB-backed settings, and encrypted secrets as distinct layers; do not collapse them casually.
+- If onboarding or setup behavior changes, update `src/setup/README.md` in the same branch.
+- Do not break config precedence, bootstrap env loading, DB-backed config reload, or post-secrets LLM re-resolution.
+
+## Security and Runtime Invariants
+
+- Review any change touching listeners, routes, auth, secrets, sandboxing, approvals, or outbound HTTP with a security mindset.
+- Do not weaken bearer-token auth, webhook auth, CORS/origin checks, body limits, rate limits, allowlists, or secret-handling guarantees.
+- Treat Docker containers and external services as untrusted.
+- Session/thread/turn state matters. Submission parsing happens before normal chat handling.
+- Skills are selected deterministically. Tool approval and auth flows are special paths and must not be mixed into normal chat history carelessly.
+- Persistent memory is the workspace system, not just transcript storage; preserve file-like semantics, chunking/search behavior, and identity/system-prompt loading.
+
+## Tools, Channels, and Extensions
+
+- Use a built-in Rust tool for core internal capabilities tightly coupled to the runtime.
+- Use WASM tools or WASM channels for sandboxed extensions and plugin-style integrations.
+- Use MCP for external server integrations when the capability belongs outside the main binary.
+- Preserve extension lifecycle expectations: install, authenticate/configure, activate, remove.
+
+## Docs, Parity, and Testing
+
+- If behavior changes, update the relevant docs/specs in the same branch.
 - If you change implementation status for any feature tracked in `FEATURE_PARITY.md`, update that file in the same branch.
 - Do not open a PR that changes feature behavior without checking `FEATURE_PARITY.md` for needed status updates (`❌`, `🚧`, `✅`, notes, and priorities).
+- Add the narrowest tests that validate the change: unit tests for local logic, integration tests for runtime/DB/routing behavior, and E2E or trace coverage for gateway, approvals, extensions, or other user-visible flows.
+
+## Risk and Change Discipline
+
+- Keep changes scoped; avoid broad refactors unless the task truly requires them.
+- Security, database schema, runtime, worker, CI, and secrets changes are high-risk. Call out rollback risks, compatibility concerns, and hidden side effects.
+- Preserve existing defaults unless the task explicitly changes them.
+- Avoid unrelated file churn and generated-file edits unless required.
+- Respect a dirty worktree and never revert user changes you did not make.
+
+## Before Finishing
+
+- Confirm whether behavior changes require updates to `FEATURE_PARITY.md`, specs, API docs, or `CHANGELOG.md`.
+- Run the most targeted tests/checks that cover the change.
+- Re-check security-sensitive paths when touching auth, secrets, network listeners, sandboxing, or approvals.
+- Keep the final diff scoped to the task.

+## フィロソフィー
+
+IronClawはシンプルな原則に基づいて構築されています：**あなたのAIアシスタントは、あなたのために働くべきであり、あなたに不利益をもたらすべきではありません。**
+
+AIシステムがデータの取り扱いについて不透明になり、企業の利益に沿って調整されることが増えている世界で、IronClawは異なるアプローチを取ります：
+
+- **あなたのデータはあなたのもの** - すべての情報はローカルに保存・暗号化され、あなたの管理下から離れることはありません
+- **設計段階からの透明性** - オープンソース、監査可能、隠れたテレメトリやデータ収集なし
+- **自己拡張する能力** - ベンダーのアップデートを待たずに、新しいツールをその場で構築
+- **多層防御** - 複数のセキュリティレイヤーがプロンプトインジェクションやデータ流出から保護
+
+IronClawは、個人生活にも仕事にも本当に信頼できるAIアシスタントです。
+
+## 機能
+
+### セキュリティファースト
+
+- **WASMサンドボックス** - 信頼されていないツールは、機能ベースの権限を持つ隔離されたWebAssemblyコンテナで実行
+- **認証情報の保護** - シークレットはツールに公開されず、リーク検出付きでホスト境界で注入
+- **プロンプトインジェクション防御** - パターン検出、コンテンツサニタイズ、ポリシー適用
+- **エンドポイントの許可リスト** - HTTPリクエストは明示的に許可されたホストとパスのみに制限
+
+### 常時利用可能
+
+- **マルチチャネル** - REPL、HTTPウェブフック、WASMチャネル（Telegram、Slack）、Webゲートウェイ
+- **Dockerサンドボックス** - ジョブごとのトークンとオーケストレーター/ワーカーパターンによる隔離されたコンテナ実行
+- **Webゲートウェイ** - リアルタイムSSE/WebSocketストリーミング対応のブラウザUI
+- **ルーティン** - cronスケジュール、イベントトリガー、ウェブフックハンドラーによるバックグラウンド自動化
+- **ハートビートシステム** - 監視・保守タスクのためのプロアクティブなバックグラウンド実行
+- **並列ジョブ** - 隔離されたコンテキストで複数のリクエストを同時に処理
+- **自己修復** - スタックした操作の自動検出と復旧
+
+### 自己拡張
+
+- **動的ツール構築** - 必要なものを説明すると、IronClawがWASMツールとして構築
+- **MCPプロトコル** - Model Context Protocolサーバーに接続して追加機能を利用
+- **プラグインアーキテクチャ** - 再起動なしで新しいWASMツールやチャネルを追加
+
+### 永続メモリ
+
+- **ハイブリッド検索** - Reciprocal Rank Fusionを使用した全文検索+ベクトル検索
+- **ワークスペースファイルシステム** - メモ、ログ、コンテキストのための柔軟なパスベースストレージ
+- **アイデンティティファイル** - セッション間で一貫した人格と設定を維持
+
+## インストール
+
+### 前提条件
+
+- Rust 1.85+
+- PostgreSQL 15+ ([pgvector](https://github.com/pgvector/pgvector)拡張機能を含む)
+- NEAR AIアカウント（セットアップウィザードで認証を処理）

+
+`cargo`でインストールします。コンピューターに[Rust](https://rustup.rs)がインストールされていることを確認してください。
+
+```bash
+# リポジトリをクローン
+git clone https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw.git
+cd ironclaw
+
+# ビルド
+cargo build --release
+
+# テストを実行
+cargo test
+```
+
+**フルリリース**（チャネルソースを変更した後）の場合、まず`./scripts/build-all.sh`を実行してチャネルを再ビルドしてください。
+
+</details>
+
+### データベースのセットアップ
+
+```bash
+# データベースを作成
+createdb ironclaw
+
+# pgvectorを有効化
+psql ironclaw -c "CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;"
+```
+
+## 設定
+
+セットアップウィザードを実行してIronClawを設定します：
+
+```bash
+ironclaw onboard
+```
+
+ウィザードは、データベース接続、NEAR AI認証（ブラウザOAuth経由）、シークレットの暗号化（システムキーチェーンを使用）を処理します。設定は接続されたデータベースに永続化されます。ブートストラップ変数（例：`DATABASE_URL`、`LLM_BACKEND`）は、データベース接続前に利用できるよう`~/.ironclaw/.env`に書き込まれます。
+
+### 代替LLMプロバイダー
+
+IronClawはデフォルトでNEAR AIを使用しますが、多くのLLMプロバイダーをすぐに利用できます。組み込みプロバイダーには**Anthropic**、**OpenAI**、**Google Gemini**、**MiniMax**、**Mistral**、**Ollama**（ローカル）が含まれます。**OpenRouter**（300以上のモデル）、**Together AI**、**Fireworks AI**、セルフホストサーバー（**vLLM**、**LiteLLM**）などのOpenAI互換サービスもサポートされています。
+
+ウィザードでプロバイダーを選択するか、環境変数を直接設定してください：
+
+```env
+# 例：MiniMax（組み込み、204Kコンテキスト）
+LLM_BACKEND=minimax
+MINIMAX_API_KEY=...
+
+# 例：OpenAI互換エンドポイント
+LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
+LLM_BASE_URL=https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
+LLM_API_KEY=sk-or-...
+LLM_MODEL=anthropic/claude-sonnet-4
+```
+
+完全なプロバイダーガイドは[docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md](docs/LLM_PROVIDERS.md)をご覧ください。
+
+## セキュリティ
+
+IronClawは、データを保護し悪用を防ぐために多層防御を実装しています。
+
+### WASMサンドボックス
+
+すべての信頼されていないツールは、隔離されたWebAssemblyコンテナで実行されます：
+
+- **機能ベースの権限** - HTTP、シークレット、ツール呼び出しの明示的なオプトイン
+- **エンドポイントの許可リスト** - 許可されたホスト/パスへのHTTPリクエストのみ
+- **認証情報の注入** - シークレットはホスト境界で注入され、WASMコードに公開されない
+- **リーク検出** - リクエストとレスポンスのシークレット流出試行をスキャン
+- **レート制限** - 悪用防止のためのツールごとのリクエスト制限
+- **リソース制限** - メモリ、CPU、実行時間の制約
+
+```
+WASM ──► 許可リスト ──► リーク    ──► 認証情報 ──► リクエスト ──► リーク    ──► WASM
+         バリデーター    スキャン       注入        実行          スキャン
+                       (リクエスト)                             (レスポンス)
+```
+
+### プロンプトインジェクション防御
+
+外部コンテンツは複数のセキュリティレイヤーを通過します：
+
+- パターンベースのインジェクション試行検出
+- コンテンツのサニタイズとエスケープ
+- 重要度レベル付きポリシールール（ブロック/警告/レビュー/サニタイズ）
+- 安全なLLMコンテキスト注入のためのツール出力ラッピング
+
+### データ保護
+
+- すべてのデータはローカルのPostgreSQLデータベースに保存
+- AES-256-GCMでシークレットを暗号化
+- テレメトリ、分析、データ共有なし
+- すべてのツール実行の完全な監査ログ
+

+## Google Gemini (OAuth)
+
+Uses Google OAuth with PKCE (S256) for authentication — no API key required.
+On first run, a browser opens for Google account login. Credentials (including
+refresh token) are saved to `~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json` with `0600` permissions.

+### Cloud Code API vs standard API
+
+Models containing `-preview` (with hyphen) or `gemini-3` in the name, as well
+as any `gemini-` model with major version >= 2, route through the Cloud Code
+API (`cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com`) which supports SSE streaming
+and project-scoped access. Other models use the standard Generative Language
+API (`generativelanguage.googleapis.com`).
+
+---
+
+## GitHub Copilot
+
+GitHub Copilot exposes chat endpoint at
+`https://api.githubcopilot.com`. IronClaw uses that endpoint directly through the
+built-in `github_copilot` provider.
+
+```env
+LLM_BACKEND=github_copilot
+GITHUB_COPILOT_TOKEN=gho_...
+GITHUB_COPILOT_MODEL=gpt-4o
+# Optional advanced headers if your setup needs them:
+# GITHUB_COPILOT_EXTRA_HEADERS=Copilot-Integration-Id:vscode-chat
+```
+
+`ironclaw onboard` can acquire this token for you using GitHub device login. If you
+already signed into Copilot through VS Code or a JetBrains IDE, you can also reuse
+the `oauth_token` stored in `~/.config/github-copilot/apps.json`. If you prefer,
+`LLM_BACKEND=github-copilot` also works as an alias.
+
+Popular models vary by subscription, but `gpt-4o` is a safe default. IronClaw keeps
+model entry manual for this provider because GitHub Copilot model listing may require
+extra integration headers on some clients. IronClaw automatically injects the standard
+VS Code identity headers (`User-Agent`, `Editor-Version`, `Editor-Plugin-Version`,
+`Copilot-Integration-Id`) and lets you override them with
+`GITHUB_COPILOT_EXTRA_HEADERS`.

+# User Management API
+
+DB-backed user management for multi-tenant IronClaw deployments. Covers admin user CRUD, per-user secrets provisioning, self-service profile, API token management, and usage reporting.
+
+## Authentication
+
+All endpoints require `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Tokens are either:
+- **Env-var tokens** — configured via `GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN` (single-user) at startup
+- **DB-backed tokens** — created via `POST /api/tokens` or `POST /api/admin/users`
+
+DB tokens are SHA-256 hashed at rest; plaintext is returned exactly once at creation time.
+
+Auth is cached in a bounded LRU (1024 entries, 60s TTL). Suspending a user or revoking a token may take up to 60s to take effect.
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role | Scope |
+|------|-------|
+| `admin` | Full access to all endpoints |
+| `member` | Self-service profile + own token management only |
+
+Endpoints marked **Admin** return `403 Forbidden` for `member` role.
+
+---
+
+## Admin: Users
+
+### POST /api/admin/users
+
+Create a new user. Returns the user record and a one-time plaintext API token.
+
+**Auth:** Admin
+
+**Request body:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "display_name": "Alice Smith",
+  "email": "alice@example.com",
+  "role": "member"

+
+| Field | Type | Required | Default | Notes |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------|
+| `display_name` | string | yes | | |
+| `email` | string | no | `null` | Must be unique if provided |

+
+## Admin: Per-User Secrets
+
+Provision secrets on behalf of individual users. The primary use case is an application backend (acting as admin) that configures per-user credentials so each user's IronClaw agent can call back to external services.
+
+Secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM using a per-secret HKDF-derived key. Plaintext values are **never returned** by any endpoint — they can only be used by the agent's tool system at runtime.
+
+### PUT /api/admin/users/{user_id}/secrets/{name}
+
+Create or update a secret for the specified user. If a secret with the same name already exists, it is overwritten.
+
+**Auth:** Admin
+
+**Path parameters:**
+
+| Param | Type | Notes |
+|-------|------|-------|
+| `user_id` | string | The user's ID |
+| `name` | string | Secret name (normalized to lowercase) |
+
+**Request body:**

+```json
+{
+  "value": "sk-live-abc123...",
+  "provider": "my-app-backend",
+  "expires_in_days": 90
+}
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
+|-------|------|----------|-------|
+| `value` | string | yes | The secret value (encrypted at rest, never returned) |
+| `provider` | string | no | Tag for grouping (e.g. `"stripe"`, `"my-app"`) |
+| `expires_in_days` | integer | no | Auto-expire after N days; `null` = never |
+
+**Response:** `200 OK`
+
+```json

+# Admin creates a user
+curl -X POST https://ironclaw.example.com/api/admin/users \
+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"display_name": "Alice", "role": "member"}'

+  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
+  -d '{"value": "per-user-jwt-for-alice", "provider": "my-app"}'

+
+All error responses return a plain text body with the error message and the corresponding HTTP status code:
+
+| Code | Meaning |

+| `503` | Database or secrets store not available |
+| `500` | Internal server error |
+
+---
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Secrets Encryption
+
+- **Algorithm:** AES-256-GCM with per-secret HKDF-SHA256 derived keys
+- **Master key:** 32+ bytes, resolved from `SECRETS_MASTER_KEY` env var or OS keychain
+- **Storage format:** `nonce (12B) || ciphertext || tag (16B)` in `encrypted_value` column
+- **Per-secret salt:** 32 random bytes stored alongside the ciphertext
+- **Zero-exposure:** Plaintext never appears in logs, debug output, API responses, or LLM conversations
+
+### Auth Cache
+
+- Bounded LRU cache (1024 entries max)
+- 60-second TTL per entry
+- Suspending a user or revoking a token takes up to 60s to propagate
+

+# Task Delegation Assistant
+
+When the user wants to delegate a task or get help managing something, follow this process:
+
+## 1. Clarify the Task
+
+Ask what needs to be done, by when, and any constraints. Get enough detail to act independently but don't over-interrogate. If the request is clear, skip straight to planning.
+
+## 2. Break It Down
+
+Decompose the task into concrete, actionable steps. Use `memory_write` to persist the task plan to a path like `tasks/{task-name}.md` with:
+- Clear description
+- Steps with checkboxes
+- Due date (if any)
+- Status: pending/in-progress/done
+
+## 3. Set Up Tracking
+
+If the task is recurring or has a deadline:
+- Create a routine using `routine_create` for scheduled check-ins
+- Add a heartbeat item if it needs daily monitoring
+- Set up an event-triggered routine if it depends on external input
+
+## 4. Use Profile Context
+
+Check `USER.md` for the user's preferences:
+- **Proactivity level**: High = check in frequently. Low = only report on completion.
+- **Communication style**: Match their preferred tone and detail level.
+- **Focus areas**: Prioritize tasks that align with their stated goals.
+
+## 5. Execute or Queue
+
+- If you can do it now (search, draft, organize, calculate), do it immediately.
+- If it requires waiting, external action, or follow-up, create a reminder routine.
+- If it requires tools you don't have, explain what's needed and suggest alternatives.
+
+## 6. Report Back
+
+Always confirm the plan with the user before starting execution. After completing, update the task file in memory and notify the user with a concise summary.
+
+## Communication Guidelines
+
+- Be direct and action-oriented
+- Confirm understanding before acting on ambiguous requests
+- When in doubt about autonomy level, ask once then remember the answer
+- Use `memory_write` to track delegation preferences for future reference

+# Routine Advisor
+
+When the conversation suggests the user has a repeatable task or could benefit from automation, consider suggesting a routine.
+
+## When to Suggest
+
+Suggest a routine when you notice:
+- The user describes doing something repeatedly ("I check my PRs every morning")
+- The user mentions forgetting recurring tasks ("I keep forgetting to...")
+- The user asks you to do something that sounds periodic
+- You've learned enough about the user to propose a relevant automation
+- The user has installed extensions that enable new monitoring capabilities
+
+## How to Suggest
+
+Be specific and concrete. Not "Want me to set up a routine?" but rather: "I noticed you review PRs every morning. Want me to create a daily 9am routine that checks your open PRs and sends you a summary?"
+
+Always include:
+1. What the routine would do (specific action)
+2. When it would run (specific schedule in plain language)
+3. How it would notify them (which channel they're on)
+
+Wait for the user to confirm before creating.
+
+## Pacing
+
+- First 1-3 conversations: Do NOT suggest routines. Focus on helping and learning.
+- After learning 2-3 user patterns: Suggest your first routine. Keep it simple.
+- After 5+ conversations: Suggest more routines as patterns emerge.
+- Never suggest more than 1 routine per conversation unless the user is clearly interested.
+- If the user declines, wait at least 3 conversations before suggesting again.
+
+## Creating Routines
+
+Use the `routine_create` tool. Before creating, check `routine_list` to avoid duplicates.
+
+Parameters:
+- `trigger_type`: Usually "cron" for scheduled tasks
+- `schedule`: Standard cron format. Common schedules:
+  - Daily 9am: `0 9 * * *`
+  - Weekday mornings: `0 9 * * MON-FRI`
+  - Weekly Monday: `0 9 * * MON`
+  - Every 2 hours during work: `0 9-17/2 * * MON-FRI`
+  - Sunday evening: `0 18 * * SUN`
+- `action_type`: "lightweight" for simple checks, "full_job" for multi-step tasks
+- `prompt`: Clear, specific instruction for what the routine should do
+- `context_paths`: Workspace files to load as context (e.g., `["context/profile.json", "MEMORY.md"]`)
+
+## Routine Ideas by User Type
+
+**Developer:**
+- Daily PR review digest (check open PRs, summarize what needs attention)
+- CI/CD failure alerts (monitor build status)
+- Weekly dependency update check
+- Daily standup prep (summarize yesterday's work from daily logs)
+
+**Professional:**
+- Morning briefing (today's priorities from memory + any pending tasks)
+- End-of-day summary (what was accomplished, what's pending)
+- Weekly goal review (check progress against stated goals)
+- Meeting prep reminders
+
+**Health/Personal:**
+- Daily exercise or habit check-in
+- Weekly meal planning prompt
+- Monthly budget review reminder
+
+**General:**
+- Daily news digest on topics of interest
+- Weekly reflection prompt (what went well, what to improve)
+- Periodic task/reminder check-in
+- Regular cleanup of stale tasks or notes
+- Weekly profile evolution (if the user has a profile in `context/profile.json`, suggest a Monday routine that reads the profile via `memory_read`, searches recent conversations for new patterns with `memory_search`, and updates the profile via `memory_write` if any fields should change with confidence > 0.6 — be conservative, only update with clear evidence)
+
+## Awareness
+
+Before suggesting, consider what tools and extensions are currently available. Only suggest routines the agent can actually execute. If a routine would need a tool that isn't installed, mention that too: "If you connect your calendar, I could also send you a morning briefing with today's meetings."
