# Docker Cloud Sandboxes (sbx) — D5 Inspection Checklist

**Purpose:** close the "cloud-uninspected=2" gap left by the 2026-10-06
docker-daemons audit and codex's 2026-10-03 `nakedagent` cloud pilot, **before
loading more compute** onto Docker Cloud Sandboxes.

**Origin:** proposal `39397efc` item D5 ("Cloud audit first"); pilot evidence in
`~/.codex/artifacts/nakedagent-risk/docker-20261003-a/` (RESULTS.md) and
`docker-pilot2-20261003/`.

**Scope:** read-only inspection + a single bounded admission. Non-destructive.
**Agents do not handle Docker credentials.** `sbx login` is operator-only.

---

## 0. Preflight (operator logs in first)

- [ ] Operator: `sbx login` (browser, or `--username` + `--password-stdin`).
- [ ] `sbx version` — record version (>= v0.47.0; pilot ran v0.46.0).
- [ ] `sbx diagnose` — record pass/fail; daemon reachable, auth OK.
- [ ] `sbx --cloud ls` — inventory of existing cloud sandboxes (expect none/orphaned).
- [ ] Record the credit balance from the Docker console (Usage & billing);
note the up-to-48h usage lag.

## 1. Image identity (pilot gap: mutable tag)

- [ ] Resolve an **immutable** template identity — pin
`docker/sandbox-templates@sha256:<digest>` (pilot used the mutable tag
`shell-docker`).
- [ ] Create two sandboxes from the pin; confirm the resolved guest digest matches
(reproducibility).
- [ ] Record the digest in the receipt.

## 2. Billing reconciliation (pilot gap: balance unverified)

- [ ] Read settled / available / accrued USD + timestamp.
- [ ] Reconcile against the pilot reservation (~$0.07 compute).
- [ ] Confirm the Small rate ($0.140/hr) and XL rate ($1.12/hr) against the receipt.
- [ ] Set/confirm a **compute budget** and a hard stop before running.

## 3. Network policy (pilot gap: bootstrap egress not zero)

- [ ] Create with `--deny-network '**'`; export the startup policy log.
- [ ] Determine whether bootstrap egress still occurs to `archive.ubuntu.com:80`,
`security.ubuntu.com:80`, `download.docker.com:443`; classify allowed vs denied.
- [ ] Confirm the **workload** egress is denied (probe after startup).
- [ ] Decide: acceptable, or block at the host/egress layer.

## 4. Lifecycle & revocation (pilot gap: TTL untested)

- [ ] `sbx stop` and `sbx rm` behavior; verify state after each.
- [ ] `sbx ttl <id>` — inspect and (on a throwaway) test extend/expiry.
- [ ] Independent force-stop path (controller kills the sandbox) — verify.
- [ ] `sbx secret` — confirm no secrets stored; confirm the guest cannot read host secrets.

## 5. Isolation proof (state what is and is not tested)

- [ ] Confirm no host paths, volumes, credentials, plugins, or MCP servers supplied.
- [ ] `sbx volume` / `sbx ports` — confirm none attached/published unless intended.
- [ ] Explicitly list untested: full VM-escape, cross-tenant, DoS, exhaustive protocols.

## 6. Admission gate (only after 1–5 pass)

- [ ] Admit **one** appendage; route effects through the outside broker/ledger (HGK)
with budget reservation, expiry, and revocation.
- [ ] Write a receipt per action; hash-chain them.
- [ ] Do **not** auto-consume remaining credit on retries.

## Rollback / safety

- [ ] Every step reversible: `sbx stop` then `sbx rm`; no host mutation.

Separate reversible stops from irreversible removals.

sbx stop preserves a cloud sandbox, but sbx rm permanently deletes it and its files. The statement “Every step reversible” is therefore false. Restrict the rm test to a disposable sandbox after confirming its ID and preserving any needed data. (docs.docker.com)

Update the checklist item to distinguish reversible `sbx stop` from permanent
`sbx rm`; restrict removal testing to a disposable sandbox after confirming its
ID and preserving any needed data.

- [ ] Abort conditions defined; stop-on-first-inconclusive.

## Evidence

- [ ] Save every command output to a receipt directory; record the CLI version,
image digest, policy-log hash, and billing snapshot with timestamps.

## Results — executed 2026-10-12

**Auth/infra:** the local `sbx` daemon required `sbx daemon start`; the Docker
Desktop sign-in is **not** the `sbx` CLI token (`sbx login` is separate).
`sbx` v0.46.0 (v0.47.0 available).

**Inventory (pre-cleanup):** 12 cloud sandboxes, **all TTL-expired** (24h
ceiling): `nakedagent-pilot-a`, `p2-preflight`, `p2-soak`,
`gyre-arena-recorder`, `skill-hardening a–f`, `parallax-quilt ×2`.
Clean baseline: no cloud templates, no secrets, no volumes; account policy
`default: deny-all`.

**Live probe** (`sbx_001m4s77ftqqf5exbmfbb7hw300`, shell, `--deny-network '**'`,
`--ttl 30m --on-timeout delete`):
- Policy rendered as `Default allow-all` + `DENY **`.
- Inside the guest: `EGRESS=BLOCKED`, `DNS=FAIL`, `uid=1000` (non-root).
- Stopped and removed cleanly.
- Bootstrap-egress behavior was **not** re-tested this run (pilot's open item).

**Image identity (resolved):** agent-create uses the mutable tag
`docker/sandbox-templates:shell-docker`; resolved digest
`sha256:1560168ac5fb9ce23d413c878349334c5845c07e264cd675d7867f0c78ad1761`
→ pin with `--image-ref docker/sandbox-templates@sha256:1560…`.

**Cleanup (operator-approved):** all 12 expired orphans removed
(`sbx --cloud rm --force`); account left with 1 sandbox

🌐 Web query:

Docker official sbx rm cloud mode pass IDs explicitly --all disabled

💡 Result:

Docker’s official `sbx rm` reference confirms that **`--all` is intentionally disabled in cloud mode** as a safety measure. To remove cloud sandboxes, pass their IDs (or names listed by `sbx --cloud ls`) explicitly, for example:

```sh
sbx --cloud rm sbx_ID
```

Use `--force` to skip confirmation prompts. ([docs.docker.com](https://docs.docker.com/reference/cli/sbx/rm/?utm_source=openai))

Record each cleanup target and result.

The inventory lists grouped names, but the cleanup record does not identify the exact targets. Docker cloud removal requires explicit sandbox IDs or names; record one command and outcome for each removed sandbox so the deletion can be reconciled with the pre-cleanup inventory.

Update the cleanup record in the cloud Docker sandbox inspection checklist to
identify each removed sandbox by its exact ID or name and record the removal
command and outcome separately for every target, so the results can be
reconciled with the pre-cleanup inventory.

**Still open:** credit/billing reconciliation (Docker console; up to 48h lag).
