# Test Structure Recommendation
2+
3+
## Current State
4+
5+
99 TypeScript test files + ~310 Rust tests across 5 crates. The main problem is `packages/core/tests/` — 57 files in a flat directory with no grouping. The Rust side is better but has a few monoliths and no fast/slow distinction.

## Rust: Target Structure
125+
126+
The per-crate layout is already good. The changes are surgical:
127+
128+
### Split `execution/tests/javascript.rs` (46 tests)
129+
130+
```
131+
crates/execution/tests/
132+
├── javascript/
133+
│ ├── mod.rs # common setup
134+
│ ├── builtin_interception.rs # require('fs') → polyfill routing
135+
│ ├── module_resolution.rs # ESM/CJS loading, import paths
136+
│ ├── env_hardening.rs # env stripping, process proxy, guest env
137+
│ └── sync_rpc.rs # sync RPC bridge, timeouts
138+
├── python.rs # (15 tests — fine as-is)
139+
├── python_prewarm.rs # (2 tests — fine as-is)
140+
├── wasm.rs # (20 tests — fine as-is)
141+
├── permission_flags.rs # (6 tests — fine as-is)
142+
├── benchmark.rs
143+
└── smoke.rs
144+
```
145+
146+
### Mark slow sidecar integration tests
147+
148+
Tests that spawn real sidecar processes (`crash_isolation`, `session_isolation`, `vm_lifecycle`, `process_isolation`) should use `#[ignore]`:
149+
150+
```rust
151+
#[test]
152+
#[ignore] // spawns sidecar process — run with: cargo test -- --ignored
153+
fn crash_isolation() { ... }
154+
```
155+
156+
This lets `cargo test` stay fast; CI runs `cargo test -- --include-ignored`.
157+
158+
### Keep kernel/tests/ as-is
159+
160+
The 1-file-per-subsystem pattern (vfs, fd_table, process_table, pipe_manager, etc.) already maps cleanly to kernel modules. No changes needed.
161+
162+
### Summary
163+
164+
| Crate | Status | Action |
165+
|-------|--------|--------|
166+
| `kernel/tests/` (19 files, 161 tests) | Good — 1:1 with subsystems | Keep as-is |
167+
| `execution/tests/` (8 files, 95 tests) | `javascript.rs` is a monolith | Split into submodule |
168+
| `sidecar/tests/` (14 files, 49 tests) | Mixes fast/slow | `#[ignore]` on integration tests |
169+
| `bridge/tests/` (2 files, 1 test) | Fine | Keep as-is |
170+
| `sidecar-browser/tests/` (3 files, 5 tests) | Fine | Keep as-is |
171+
172+
## Migration Approach
173+
174+
This should be done incrementally, one directory at a time:
175+
176+
1. Create subdirectories and move files (git mv preserves history)
177+
2. Update vitest config globs / Cargo test paths after each move
178+
3. Verify CI passes after each batch
179+
4. Do not combine restructuring with functional changes in the same PR

# Adversarial Isolation Tests
2+
3+
Moved from `scripts/ralph/prd.json` on 2026-04-05. These are security-focused adversarial tests that verify the isolation boundary works end-to-end, not just that the right flags are passed.
4+
5+
## US-001: Adversarial escape-attempt tests for Node.js filesystem isolation
6+
7+
**Priority:** High
8+
**Why:** Currently `permission_flags.rs` uses `write_fake_node_binary()` which only checks args are passed, not that isolation works.
9+
10+
- Add test in `crates/execution/tests/javascript.rs` that runs guest JS attempting `fs.readFileSync('/etc/hostname')` and verifies it returns kernel VFS content, not host content
11+
- Add test that attempts `fs.readFileSync` on a path outside the sandbox root and verifies EACCES or kernel-mediated denial
12+
- Add test that attempts `require('fs').realpathSync('/')` and verifies it returns kernel VFS root, not host root
13+
- Tests use real Node.js execution, not fake binaries or mocks
14+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-execution --test javascript` passes
15+
16+
## US-002: Adversarial escape-attempt tests for child_process isolation
17+
18+
**Priority:** High
19+
**Why:** US-008 tested exec/execSync hardening but only verified the RPC routing, not that actual host commands are blocked.
20+
21+
- Add test that attempts `require('child_process').execSync('whoami')` and verifies it routes through kernel process table, not host
22+
- Add test that attempts `require('child_process').spawn('/bin/sh', ['-c', 'cat /etc/passwd'])` and verifies denial or kernel mediation
23+
- Add test that verifies nested child processes cannot escalate Node `--permission` flags beyond what parent allows
24+
- Tests use real Node.js execution end-to-end
25+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-execution --test javascript` passes
26+
27+
## US-003: Adversarial escape-attempt tests for network isolation
28+
29+
**Priority:** High
30+
**Why:** US-048 verified permission callbacks fire but didn't test actual blocked connections end-to-end.
31+
32+
- Add test that attempts `net.connect` to a non-exempt loopback port and verifies EACCES
33+
- Add test that attempts `dns.lookup` of an external hostname and verifies it goes through sidecar DNS, not host resolver
34+
- Add test that attempts `dgram.send` to a private IP and verifies SSRF blocking
35+
- Tests use real Node.js execution with actual sidecar networking stack
36+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes for the new tests
37+
38+
## US-004: Adversarial escape-attempt tests for process.env and process identity leaks
39+
40+
**Priority:** High
41+
**Why:** Execution-level tests exist but sidecar-level end-to-end verification is missing.
42+
43+
- Add sidecar-level test that verifies `process.env` contains no `AGENT_OS_*` keys via `Object.keys()` enumeration
44+
- Add sidecar-level test that verifies `process.pid` returns kernel PID, not host PID
45+
- Add sidecar-level test that verifies `process.cwd()` returns guest path, not host sandbox path
46+
- Add sidecar-level test that verifies `process.execPath` does not contain host Node.js binary path
47+
- Add sidecar-level test that verifies `require.resolve()` returns guest-visible paths
48+
- Tests run through the full sidecar execution stack
49+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes for the new tests
50+
51+
## US-005: Fix SSRF private IP filter to cover all special-purpose ranges
52+
53+
**Priority:** Medium
54+
**Why:** Current filter covers 10/172.16/192.168/169.254/fe80/fc00 but misses 0.0.0.0, broadcast, and multicast.
55+
56+
- Block 0.0.0.0/8 (current network) in `is_private_ip` check in `crates/sidecar/src/service.rs`
57+
- Block 255.255.255.255/32 (broadcast)
58+
- Block 224.0.0.0/4 (IPv4 multicast)
59+
- Block ff00::/8 (IPv6 multicast)
60+
- Add unit tests for each newly blocked range
61+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes
62+
63+
## US-006: Add network permission check for Unix socket connections
64+
65+
**Priority:** Medium
66+
**Why:** TCP `net.connect` correctly calls `require_network_access` but Unix socket path skips it.
67+
68+
- Add `bridge.require_network_access()` call in the `net.connect({ path })` handler in `crates/sidecar/src/service.rs` before connecting
69+
- Add test that creates a VM with denied network permissions and verifies Unix socket connect returns EACCES
70+
- Existing Unix socket tests with allowed permissions continue to pass
71+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes
72+
73+
## US-007: Scrub host info from error messages returned to guest code
74+
75+
**Priority:** Medium
76+
**Why:** Error responses currently leak actual IP/port info and DNS events include full resolver IPs.
77+
78+
- Audit all `respond_javascript_sync_rpc_error` calls in `crates/sidecar/src/service.rs` — ensure error messages do not contain host filesystem paths
79+
- Scrub DNS event emissions so host resolver IPs are not included in guest-visible structured events
80+
- Add test that triggers a filesystem error and verifies the guest-visible error message contains only guest paths
81+
- Add test that triggers a network error and verifies the guest-visible error does not contain actual host IP/port
82+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes
83+
84+
## US-008: Make sidecar DNS resolver not fall through to host by default
85+
86+
**Priority:** Medium
87+
**Why:** Current default uses `TokioResolver::builder_tokio()` which reads host `/etc/resolv.conf`.
88+
89+
- When no `network.dns.servers` metadata is configured, DNS queries should resolve only against a known-safe default (e.g., 8.8.8.8, 1.1.1.1) or return EACCES, never silently use the host system resolver
90+
- Add test that creates a VM with no DNS override and verifies queries do not use the host `/etc/resolv.conf`
91+
- Add test that creates a VM with explicit DNS servers and verifies only those servers are queried
92+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-sidecar` passes
93+
94+
## US-009: Replace fake Node binary in permission flag tests with real enforcement tests
95+
96+
**Priority:** Medium
97+
**Why:** All current tests use `write_fake_node_binary()` which logs invocations instead of executing.
98+
99+
- Add at least 3 tests in `crates/execution/tests/permission_flags.rs` that use a real Node.js binary
100+
- One test verifies that `--allow-fs-read` scoping actually prevents reading a file outside the allowed path
101+
- One test verifies that missing `--allow-child-process` actually prevents `child_process.spawn` from working
102+
- One test verifies that missing `--allow-worker` actually prevents Worker creation
103+
- `cargo test -p agent-os-execution --test permission_flags -- --test-threads=1` passes

### Test Structure
262+
263+
See `.agent/specs/test-structure.md` for the full restructuring plan. The target layout:
264+
265+
**TypeScript (`packages/core/tests/`)** — organized by domain subdirectory:
266+
- `unit/` — no VM, no sidecar; pure logic (host-tools parsing, descriptors, cron manager, etc.)
267+
- `filesystem/` — VFS CRUD, overlay, mount, layers, host-dir
268+
- `process/` — execution, signals, process tree, flat API wrappers
269+
- `session/` — ACP lifecycle, events, capabilities, MCP, cancellation
270+
- `agents/{pi,claude,opencode,codex}/` — per-agent adapter tests
271+
- `wasm/` — WASM command and permission tier tests
272+
- `network/` — connectivity, host-tools server
273+
- `sidecar/` — sidecar client, native process
274+
- `cron/` — cron integration
275+
276+
**Registry (`registry/tests/`)** — `e2e/` (was `kernel/`) with `npm/` and `cross-runtime/` subgroups, `wasmvm/` stays as-is.
277+
278+
**Rust (`crates/*/tests/`)** — per-crate, already good. Key changes:
279+
- Split `execution/tests/javascript.rs` (46 tests) into `javascript/{builtin_interception,module_resolution,env_hardening,sync_rpc}.rs`
280+
- Mark slow sidecar integration tests with `#[ignore]` so `cargo test` stays fast
281+
260282
### WASM Binaries and Quickstart Examples
261283

262284
- **WASM command binaries are not checked into git.** The `registry/software/*/wasm/` directories are build artifacts produced by compiling Rust/C source in `registry/native/`. They are published to npm as part of software packages (e.g., `@rivet-dev/agent-os-coreutils` is ~54MB with WASM binaries included).
